Lin Aoxue suddenly started to wonder if this marriage was the wrong thing to do. Before they got married, Ye Liuyun was more concerned about his reputation and at least he wouldn't act like he does now. Now he was like a person who had completely let himself go.
The biggest difference is that before, she was the one who led us to stick to each other, but now, she basically asks for it on her own initiative without any embarrassment at all.
"Hehe, I was just kidding you. Tell me, what is the mission?" Ye Liuyun smiled awkwardly, then became serious.
Lin Aoxue also quickly explained the sect's mission.
The seven disciples who disappeared this time included one at the Dao Palace level, two at the Lingwen Realm level, and four at the Linghai Realm level. They were all inner sect disciples, and several of them were known to Ye Liuyun.
"Song Shuwen, Tan Zhongying, and Xia Yuyi? Are they three also in this team?" After hearing the names of these three people, Ye Liuyun was no longer in the mood to joke.
"What? Do you know these three?" Lin Aoxue knew from Ye Liuyun's expression that Ye Liuyun was quite concerned about these three people.
"Well, we all know each other, so we are friends. In that case, let's go over and take a look. We can't let anything get into trouble." Ye Liuyun said a little anxiously.
Lin Aoxue nodded, and the two of them quickly packed up their things, then left with Bai Lin and Jin Chen. Lin Aoxue flew to the direction of Tianying Ridge at the fastest speed.
By the way, this time it wasn’t just the disciples of their Yunxia Sect who were missing, because a few days ago a small sect discovered an ancient relic in Feiying Ridge, which they judged to be the remains of an ancient sect.
Then the small sect informed the four major sects about this matter. The four major sects and other sects each sent a team to explore Tianying Ridge.
However, on the day of the exploration, all the monks who participated in the exploration disappeared. Because of the loss of contact, the sects immediately dispatched disciples in the inner circle to investigate. In other words, less than a day has passed since Song Shuwen and his companions disappeared.
By the way, the four major sects also dispatched Taoist monks to take charge. There are four monks at the Taoist Palace level. The Taoist monk from Yunxia Sect is He Zhiqiu, the monk who returned from Yun Sect.
Several of them also disappeared.
"The four cultivators at the Dao Palace realm are all missing? Could it be that they entered the ruins and are trapped inside?" Ye Liuyun guessed.
"I'm not sure, but this possibility is very high. I won't say more. Other fellow disciples are also rushing there. This is what my master meant. As the future successor of the sect, I need to continuously accumulate contributions to the sect, so I have to go and take a look too. But she won't let me enter the ruins." Lin Aoxue said.
Ye Liuyun was slightly relieved when he heard that other fellow disciples were also rushing there. After all, even four Taoist monks were missing, which meant that the ancient ruins must have great unknown dangers.
The two of them have changed back into the sect's disciples' uniforms. As for Tianying Ridge, quite a few people have already arrived at their destination.
This so-called ancient relic was built in a mountain. They knew where the entrance was. Hundreds of monks were already blocking the ancient, rusty metal gate.
This gate seemed to be covered by rock layers before, and now it has obviously just been cleared out.
"Damn it, haven't all the people arrived yet? We can't wait too long. The longer we wait, the slimmer their hope of survival becomes." There were already several Taoist monks walking back and forth here.
They are not Taoist monks from the four major sects, but from other sects. The Taoist monks from the four major sects are also rushing here.
"Calm down. This place can swallow up four Dao Palace realm masters. If we rush in rashly, we will probably all be killed. That will not be worth it." A Dao Palace cultivator said in a deep voice.
The more dangerous the situation is, the calmer you need to be. If you don't stay calm, you will only lose your life.
Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun were relatively close to this place, so they also came here. When the disciples of Yunxia Sect saw someone coming, they immediately took a look and found that it was Lin Aoxue, so more than a dozen people hurried to greet him.
"Junior Sister Lin, why are you here?" A familiar face appeared in front of Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue.
This person is Jiang Hong, Yun Xin’s junior fellow apprentice.
"Oh, Senior Brother Jiang, you are here too. I just happened to be in the inner circle and came here because of my master's instructions." Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun greeted each other immediately after landing.
Jiang Hong looked at Ye Liuyun in surprise. He knew that Ye Liuyun was a core disciple, but he did not expect that Ye Liuyun, a cultivator at the Lingxi realm, would appear here.
"Eh? Junior Sister Ye? Why are you here?" Jiang Hong asked.
Ye Liuyu chuckled.
"I came to Liuyang Mountains to look for something, so I came here with my sister." Ye Liuyun replied.
"Oh." Jiang Hong just nodded and didn't say much.
However, not long after Ye Liuyun and the others arrived here, a streak of light shot out rapidly from the sky and finally turned into a cold and stern woman in white.
The person who came was Yun Xin. I didn't expect that the Taoist monk sent by the Yunxia Sect was actually her. Although Yun Xin was dressed as a man, her temperament was extraordinary.
"Hey, senior brother, you are finally here." Jiang Hong immediately showed a surprised expression when he saw Yun Xin.
Yun Xin glanced at the cultivators here, his eyes paused on Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun with some doubt, and finally fell in front of them.
"Junior Sister Lin and Junior Sister Ye are also here, but Junior Sister Lin, your cultivation and identity are not suitable for entering the ruins, so you two should not participate in the mission to enter the ruins to find He Zhiqiu and others later." Yun Xin said directly to Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun after landing.
This guy's personality hasn't changed at all. On the contrary, after becoming a woman, his aura of "keep away from strangers" has become even stronger.
"Sorry, whether I can get in or not is my own business. I won't bother you, Brother Yunxin." Lin Aoxue said with a roll of her eyes.
Yun Xin was stunned, then said with a helpless look on her face.
"It's up to you. You are a direct disciple of the sect. I can't control you."
After this guy finished speaking, he walked directly to the gate of the ruins, and then, under the puzzled gaze of everyone, he swung his sword a few times. The powerful sword light cut a hole in the thick iron gate in one breath, revealing the dark passage inside.
"It feels like this guy's personality has become even colder after he became a woman." Ye Liuyun muttered.
"Oh!" Lin Aoxue sighed heavily.
After a while, the Taoist monks from other sects also arrived. After arriving here, they were naturally mainly composed of Taoist monks from the four major sects.
After the four of them discussed it, they decided to lead their own disciples in, and let some disciples stay outside. If there was any movement in the team in front, they would inform the team behind immediately.
After the discussion, they each went in. Yun Xin led seven or eight disciples to lead the way. As for important disciples such as Jiang Hong, they did not go in.
"Aoxue, do you want me to use the Shenyou Pill to go in and take a look?" Ye Liuyun suggested after they went in.
Chapter 167 Blood Demon Cult Branch
Ye Liuyun's Shenyou Pill can work wonders at this time.
Lin Aoxue glanced around and saw that the remaining disciples from other sects had already found a place to meditate and rest, waiting for the signal from inside, so she nodded to Ye Liuyun and let Ye Liuyun go in to see the situation.
She also didn't want the monks of their Yunxia Sect to be in danger.
Ye Liuyun didn't waste any time. She and Lin Aoxue found a secluded spot and sat down.
"Aoxue, when my consciousness leaves my body, you must not let anyone touch me." Ye Liuyun reminded.
This Shenyou Pill also has a flaw. Once she is forcibly awakened, her consciousness will be immediately pulled back.
"Don't worry, I won't let anyone touch you." Lin Aoxue is not a person who does not know the importance of the matter.
After giving the instructions, Ye Liuyun swallowed the Shenyou Pill. The next moment, his head tilted and he fell into Lin Aoxue's arms.
"Hey? Junior Sister Lin, what happened to Junior Sister Ye?" Jiang Hong, who was standing next to them, saw Ye Liuyun suddenly fall into Lin Aoxue's arms and immediately asked.
But Lin Aoxue immediately signaled him not to speak. Jiang Hong didn't know what was going on, but Lin Aoxue must have her reasons for asking him not to speak, so he didn't ask any more questions.
It was also the first time that Lin Aoxue saw Ye Liuyun's consciousness leaving his body. She originally thought that consciousness leaving the body was equivalent to the soul leaving the body, but she found that Ye Liuyun's body looked like he was in a deep sleep at most, with a heartbeat and breath.
"What a magical pill! I hope nothing goes wrong with it." Lin Aoxue said worriedly.
Ye Liuyun's consciousness took a look at the physical body lying in Lin Aoxue's arms, then laughed and flew towards the gate of the ancient ruins.
The consciousness body was moving very fast. Although the gate was very dark, Ye Liuyun could not feel it at all. She soon saw the teams from the sects.
They walked slowly and carefully.
Ye Liuyun did not waste time here. She caught up with Yun Xin and others as quickly as possible. Yun Xin and others had already arrived at a fork in the road.
There are three passages in this place, and they need to make a choice.
"This? Deacon Yunxin, there are three roads here. How should we choose?" A disciple of Yunxia Sect asked with a frown.
Yun Xin looked around. This place was unfamiliar to them, and it would be the same no matter which road they chose.
So she chose the middle path directly.
When Ye Liuyun saw Yun Xin, he smiled and floated in front of her, observing this guy from a close distance.
"Wow, what a beauty! Why didn't I have such a domineering image when I became a woman? I'm so envious." Ye Liuyun sighed.
If you observe this guy closely, you can find that Li Jianxin, after becoming a woman, is very elegant and is definitely a top beauty.
If her personality was a little more friendly, she would still be very likable. Ye Liuyun looked at Yun Xin with a smile for a while.
But at this moment, Yun Xin seemed to sense something. She suddenly drew her sword and turned around to look behind her.
Ye Liuyun was startled by this guy's sudden reaction.
"Eh? Oh my god, this guy found me?" Ye Liuyun exclaimed.
Ye Liuyun had just been standing behind Yun Xin, and was gesturing at Yun Xin's slender waist. Yun Xin had an inexplicable feeling, as if she was being spied on, or someone was staring at her. She clearly felt there was someone behind her, and that feeling made her hair stand on end.
Seeing Yun Xin's big reaction, the other disciples of Yunxia Sect also became alert. They thought Yun Xin had discovered something.
"What happened to Deacon Yunxin?" a disciple asked.
Yun Xin didn't say anything, but kept staring at the scene in front of her with sharp eyes. Ye Liuyun's body almost stiffened when she saw Yun Xin's icy eyes. She felt that Yun Xin had discovered her and that the look was definitely looking at her.
Yun Xin stared at the air for a while, then stretched out her hand and touched around suddenly, but unfortunately, her hand went straight through Ye Liuyun's consciousness body, and objects could not touch the consciousness body.
Yun Xin breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that there was nothing behind her. She might have felt that someone was following her invisibly.
"Strange, why do I feel like there is something behind me?" Yun Xin muttered to himself, then turned around again and led his men into the middle passage.
Some of the disciples of the Yunxia Sect were confused about what Yun Xin was doing.
"Pay attention to your surroundings. This place feels a bit strange to me, and it doesn't look like an ancient relic. I'm afraid things aren't that simple." Yun Xin reminded.
If it is really an ancient relic, it must have a strong closed atmosphere, but this place does not have that. Moreover, there are signs of long-term human activities here, which cannot be the traces of the group of people yesterday.
"Huh... You scared me. I thought you could really see me." Ye Liuyun also breathed a sigh of relief, and then stepped into the passage where Yun Xin was going.
Ye Liuyun flew very fast. After flying for a while, she found that the passages in this place were interconnected and it was easy to get lost.
"A maze? That's a bit troublesome. The visibility is so dim and they don't know the correct path. It's easy for them to go around in circles. If there is a trap, they will be their own prey." Ye Liuyun felt that Yun Xin and the others were in trouble.
However, this maze did not pose a problem for Ye Liuyun. She penetrated through layers of walls and soon entered an even larger inner palace.
The situation was different from this place. There were oil lamps lit everywhere on the walls, and it was obvious that there were other people here.
"Eh? There are people? This place is so gloomy and scary, how come there are people living here?" Ye Liuyun looked around, and sure enough, she soon saw many people in red robes.
These people are guarding all around the palace.
"This outfit looks so familiar. Wasn't the red-robed evil cultivator dressed like them last time? So many people are dressed the same? Oh, I understand. This place might be an evil cultivator organization. If so, then we're going to be even more troublesome." Ye Liuyun felt that Song Shuwen and the others might have been captured by this group of people.
Ye Liuyun knew that he had to figure out the situation here, then return to Lin Aoxue, and finally find a way to pass the message to Yun Xin and the others.
In her conscious state, she can see and hear, but can't do anything else.
At this moment, Ye Liuyun discovered that there was a big movement in the inner hall in front of him. It seemed that many people were gathered there, so he flew over.
"Great Blood God, your loyal servant presents you with fresh tributes. Please bless our Blood Demon Cult so that it can continue to grow in Nanling and achieve the Great Way of Blood."
I saw a middle-aged monk in a red robe standing in a place similar to an altar, praying to a blood-red giant snake statue.
You can tell at first glance that this group of people are not normal people. They have pale faces and cold and ruthless eyes. They are more like evil spirits than human beings.
And there is the Blood Demon Cult that the middle-aged man mentioned. It is a famous evil organization in Nanling. Yang Qing is a cultivator of the Blood Demon Cult.
This place should be a branch of the Blood Demon Cult.
The Blood Demon Cult was once very powerful, but under the siege of righteous monks, its headquarters was destroyed, and their disciples then scattered and hid. After a thousand years of recuperation, their overall strength may not be what it used to be, but it is no worse than a mid-level sect.
"Come on, bring up the sacrifice." The leading evil cultivator of the Blood Demon Cult ordered in a deep voice.
As soon as the order was given, two righteous monks, a man and a woman, were dragged to the altar by several Blood Demon Sect monks. One of them was a disciple of the Zixia Sect.
They were all injured and tied up with special ropes, and had basically no way to resist the Blood Demon Cult monks.
"Let me go, what are you going to do? I am a disciple of Zixia Sect. If you dare to hurt me, we in Zixia Sect will definitely crush you here." The male disciple of Zixia Sect threatened while struggling.
His threat is effective against ordinary righteous sects, but when facing evil sects, forget it, it will only make his death more painful.
After the two men were pushed onto the altar, they were forced to their knees by two red-robed evil cultivators. The female cultivator was in an even worse condition and had basically no power to resist.
"Zixia Sect? Humph! Even if it is your superior, the Yun Sect, we in the Blood Demon Sect are not afraid of it. It is your honor for you two to become our tributes to the Blood God. Don't worry, hehe..." The evil cultivator who presided over the sacrifice took out a dagger and walked towards the male cultivator with an evil smile on his face.
When the male monk saw the other party coming towards him with a dagger, his face turned pale.
"What are you going to do? I, I was wrong. I shouldn't have threatened you. Please forgive me. I don't want to die." The disciple of Zixia Sect immediately begged for mercy in panic.
Ye Liuyun's consciousness was watching nearby at this time. She had learned a lot of information from the conversation between these people, but as she watched, Ye Liuyun immediately stopped daring to look.
Because the next scene is too exciting.
The evil cultivator who was presiding over the sacrifice came up to the disciple of Zixia Sect, grabbed his hair, and cut his neck like slaughtering an animal. A large amount of blood spurted out at once.
The blood spurted out, and the evil cultivators around showed fanatical expressions one by one.
"Ah..." The female monk screamed in fear when she saw this scene, and began to beg for mercy.
"No, please spare me. I can do anything for you, just don't kill me." The nun begged them for mercy.
