Chapter 168 Canyon Battle (8000)

The knife was incredibly fast, and there was no fragmentation. In the blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of Yingzhou Ling.

Not only that, at the moment when Xu Bai made his move, Wuhua did not hide anything. He quickly made his move, and his fist covered with a layer of light fell in front of Yingzhou Ling, sealing the other side of Yingzhou Ling.

"Buzz..."

The sound of vibrating wings was heard, and Miao Xiao released a bunch of poisonous insects to block all the gaps left by the two people's attacks.

In less than a few breaths, Yingzhou Ling was trapped and could not move at all. As long as he moved a little, he would face a violent attack.

Ye Zi did not make a move, but she was always ready to flick the light in her hand.

As long as Yingzhou Ling dared to resist, she would interfere with Yingzhou Ling's soul at the first time.

A trace of cold sweat flowed from Yingzhou Ling's forehead, and his face became particularly pale, but he still forced himself to pretend to be calm and spoke tentatively.

"Master Xu, what do you mean by this? Are you going to murder the court officials? I don't remember offending you in any way."

There was no flaw in the words, it sounded ordinary, and even in the calm words, there was a questioning tone.

This feeling was like the anger after being controlled by someone inexplicably.

"Your acting skills are quite good." Xu Bai smiled and said, "You know what I mean, it's better to say it earlier."

Yingzhou Ling blinked, and his beard on his chin trembled slightly: "What acting skills, and what do you want me to say? I told you everything I know!"

"Master Ying, are you still going to play dumb?" Wuhua said.

Although they had no evidence, Wuhua absolutely believed in Xu Bai. At least for now, every decision made by Xu Bai was correct, and the Feng Shui Calculation pointed to this direction, so it was impossible to find an accident.

"I really don't know what you are talking about. You know, what you are doing now is to murder an official appointed by the court. No matter what your identity is, it violates the laws of the Great Chu State." After hearing what Wuhua said just now, Yingzhou Ling was relieved and his tone became tough.

This group of people attacked him inexplicably, making him dare not resist, but they did not immediately produce evidence to prove it.

This shows that these guys have no evidence, and everything is just their speculation.

Since there is no evidence, he is not afraid.

Yingzhou Ling felt that he still lacked vigilance, perhaps because he had been in this position for a long time.

He was a second-grade master. If he had been vigilant just now, he would not have been controlled in an instant.

The other party was acting with intention but without intention, and he really did not react.

Xu Bai laughed and said, "Because you think we have no evidence, you have become tough? Do you really think that I can't pry anything out of your mouth without evidence?"

Yingzhou Ling was still playing dumb: "What do you mean? I have no problem at all, what evidence do you need to find?"

What a joke, if he tells it, he will die, if he doesn't tell it, he can still live. Even if all his hands and feet are chopped off, as long as he doesn't tell it, there is no evidence, and Xu Bai will be buried with him.

Xu Bai didn't talk nonsense with him anymore, and flicked the blade hard, making a melodious music.

The next moment, Yingzhou Ling was unharmed, just staring at Xu Bai.

Xu Bai frowned: "Useless?"

Yingzhou Ling laughed and said, "Lord Xu, I think you are really worried. I know the soul-related skills. I am so much older than you, and I have already reached the level of the second rank."

Xu Bai: "..."

Good guy, although Yingzhou Ling is old, he can reach the second rank in both cultivations, which proves that his talent is really not low.

If he only cultivates one, he would have reached the realm of transcendence.

However...

Since this guy has a secondary cultivation method of the soul, he probably has a secret that he doesn't want to be known by this kind of people.

And it's a big secret, otherwise how could he do such a self-destructive thing?

"Wuhua." Xu Bai suddenly said, "For such a stubborn and stubborn person, do you have any methods in the Jiantian Division?"

Based on the performance of this guy just now, Xu Bai also saw that even if he was tortured, Yingzhou Ling would never say anything.

But it doesn't matter, he is not fighting alone now. Wuhua has been in the Jiantian Division for so long, there must be some methods to force a confession.

Wuhua thought Xu Bai had something important to say. When he heard that he wanted to torture him, he was slightly stunned, and then he answered honestly: "There is a special department in the Jiantian Division for torture. I am not very good at it, but I can write a letter to the higher-ups and ask them to send someone over. After all, the situation here is a bit complicated now."

"As for whether I can pry open his mouth, I have never heard of anyone who enters the Jiantian Division alive and does not speak."

"To use a phrase that Master Xu often says, that is called professionalism."

Xu Bai smiled.

Professional?

Very good.

He wants a professional now.

When Yingzhou Ling heard Wuhua say this, his eyes became bulging, and his face showed a very obvious expression of fear.

Everyone knows that the people in the Jiantian Division have many tricks, and no one who goes in will not tell the truth. Even if a tough guy goes in, he will become a weakling when he comes out.

Wuhua continued: "But if we want to call someone over, it will take a long time in the middle, and we are afraid that something will happen."

Yingzhou Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

If it takes a long time in the middle, it can be delayed for a long time, and maybe there will be a solution during this time.

Wuhua said again: "But it doesn't matter. When I came out, I considered these things, so I asked for a bottle of pills from the person in charge of torture in the Jiantian Division. As long as he eats it, he will confess everything."

"I heard that as long as it is below the Transcendental Realm, no one can bear it."

Yingzhou Ling's face changed again, becoming paler.

In just a short while, his expression changed again and again.

There are too many ups and downs in life, and he can't stand it at his age.

Wuhua took out a bottle of medicine from his arms, and finally took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai smiled, opened the stopper, poured out a pill, and prepared to let Yingzhou Ling take it.

Yingzhou Ling shouted: "Xu Bai, I remind you that you are abusing private punishment against court officials, and I must report it to His Majesty."

"I have put the knife on your neck, do you still care about these?" Xu Bai laughed.

A pill crossed the trajectory and fell into Yingzhou Ling's mouth in mid-air.

The next moment, Yingzhou Ling suddenly covered his neck, a lot of cold sweat flowed out, and his eyes gradually became distracted.

"Mr. Xu, within an hour, you can ask him and he will answer." Wuhua stretched out his hand.

"Pa!"

Xu Bai put away the medicine bottle and clapped his hands with Wuhua.

Wuhua: "?"

I came to get the medicine back, what do you mean by clapping your hands with me.

Xu Bai said: "Brother Wuhua is really nice, and he sends the medicine one bottle at a time."

Wuhua: "()"

I didn't say one bottle at a time!

He looked at Xu Bai's expression and knew that he had run out of medicine.

After all... this was not the first time Xu Bai had done this.

Forget it, at most he could just say that he had used it up.

Wuhua sighed again.

Xu Bai looked at Yingzhou Ling, whose eyes were distracted, and asked, "Tell me what you know."

Yingzhou Ling was already under the effect of the medicine at this time. After hearing Xu Bai's question, he quickly revealed the matter.

"The Gushen Cult wants to kill you. Not only that, but they also want to put the entire area where you are located into the Human Ghost City."

Human Ghost City?

Xu Bai was stunned, then reacted.

This was not the first time he had heard of this name. All creatures in this world could become strange after death.

There is a very small chance that the strange creatures that become strange after the death of the monsters will enter the Monster Ghost City.

The strange creatures that become strange after the death of people will enter the Human Ghost City.

Of course, the chance is extremely small.

If it weren't for the weirdness, after entering those two places, they would soon lose their souls and become idiots. On the contrary, those in those two places would also become idiots when entering the human world. This is the reason why the weirdness remains and there is no reason.

Xu Bai has been to the Monster City, and under the protection of the golden finger, he did not lose his soul. He even fought with the city lord of that area and killed him.

After the weirdness dies, they will have a long life and will never be able to improve their strength. What strength they had before death is what strength they have after death.

"I knew it was impossible to come here, otherwise I'm afraid that the entire Monster City will all become idiots." Xu Bai thought to himself.

According to what Yingzhou Ling meant just now, he wanted to drag himself and the area centered on himself into the Human City.

As for how to drag, he suspected that it was related to the fact that he had become a mark, and the mark was that he had been to the Monster City. When he was in Fengling Mansion, he probably had the mark.

"What's the use of that book?" Xu Bai continued to ask.

"Once, the demon race planned to kill all the geniuses of the human race, so they set up the Five Elements Demon Altar Formation."

"Although it was destroyed later, the Lihuo Altar in it exists in Lingyun Province, and the location of the Lihuo Altar is hidden in that ancient collection of poems."

"I am a scholar and good at finding these things, so they arranged to find the location of it. So far, I have arrived, but there is still a part that I have not studied thoroughly."

"That is how to make everyone die there, including the Gushen Cult."

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.

When he was in Fengling Mansion, it was the remains of the Dividing Water Altar. He also used the remains to comprehend the Water Adaptation Method. Unexpectedly, there was another remains in Lingyun Province.

He felt that he was infinitely close to the truth now, and continued to ask.

"Where is the Lihuo Altar? Why do you want them all to be exterminated?"

When Yingzhou Ling heard this, he showed a look of disgust in his eyes.

"That location is... in the Liyun Valley, 20 miles north of Lingyun Province."

"As for why... they have evidence against me, I killed a girl when I was drunk not long after I took office."

"I don't want to be blackmailed by them anymore, I let them all die, so that I can be the governor of this state again."

"What a pity, I didn't find it."

...

At this point, Yingzhou Ling stopped talking, as if he had finished talking.

Xu Bai asked again, and Yingzhou Ling just shook his head, indicating that he didn't know anything else.

As for what Yingzhou Ling did, to be honest, Xu Bai's tolerance is already very strong now. After all, after experiencing the incident with the corpse collector, he couldn't help being strong.

"Can he be killed directly?" Xu Bai asked.

Wuhua nodded and said, "Yes."

"Oh?" Xu Bai was surprised: "Just because we heard what he said, there is no substantial evidence, and he can be killed directly?"

Wuhua clasped his hands together and said, "Master Xu, there are many capable people in the Jiantian Division, some of whom are very proficient in the business of cause and effect. Cause and effect are very mysterious. I know that they can figure it out."

"So that's it." Xu Bai nodded, pointed to Yingzhou Ling and said, "Wake him up."

Wuhua nodded, raised his right hand, and slapped Yingzhou Ling in the face.

This way of unlocking the effect of the medicine is really unique.

With a crisp sound, Yingzhou Ling woke up and finally knew what he had done. His face turned pale, cold sweat poured down, his legs became weak, and he sat down directly on the ground.

"I..."

He wanted to speak, but before he could say anything, a bright knife light suddenly lit up.

Yingzhou Ling felt a pain in his neck. After touching it with his hand, he found that his hand was full of blood. Then his eyes shifted...

A head fell to the ground, and the blood dyed the ground red.

Since Wuhua said that he could be killed, then just kill him directly.

The people present did not think there was anything wrong, and no one cared.

"Let's go and take a look at the Rift Cloud Valley." Xu Bai put the knife back into the sheath.

What is coming will always come.

Since we already know the other party's purpose, let's go and see what the other party wants to do.

Some things are not something that the other party will not do if you delay time. On the contrary, the more you delay, the greater the danger.

Without hesitation, everyone followed Xu Bai and walked towards the Rift Cloud Valley.

But before they walked out of the door, a woman stopped them.

The woman had changed into a set of clothes, but the scars on her face were still obvious. She was the woman of the corpse collector.

"I want to go with you."

There was a hint of cowardice in her voice.

Xu Bai was stunned, then said: "Don't worry about the killing of the governor, just explain it. Before the Tianshi Jiansi came, the people in the state government dared not do anything to you."

The woman shook her head and said in a mosquito-like voice: "You said before that our business can deal with them. Maybe I... can help. You can help me get revenge, and I hope to repay you."

As she said, she seemed to remember the past. She unconsciously raised her hand and touched the scars on her face. There was still pain in the depths of her eyes that could not be hidden.

No matter how much she tried to cover it up, she had experienced that kind of thing, so it would not be able to turn around in a short time.

Xu Bai fell silent.

The woman continued: "Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble, I..."

"Okay." Xu Bai interrupted the woman and said: "But I can't completely guarantee your safety. You have to know this."

The corpse collector restrained the Gu God Cult. After all, the Gu God Cult used corpses to raise Gu.

But how to restrain it, no one here knows, including this woman.

Xu Bai felt that if he took it with him, it might work wonders.

But he always said ugly things in advance, so making it clear in advance might not guarantee safety. As for whether to go or not, it was up to the woman to decide.

The woman nodded vigorously and said, "I know, I know..."

"Then let's go."

Time waits for no one. Xu Bai took the lead and walked in front. Everyone followed behind him and went directly out of Lingyunzhou and headed towards the direction of Liyun Valley...

...

Liyun Valley is a canyon 20 miles north of Lingyunzhou. This canyon is named because it looks like a split cloud. It looks really spectacular from the outside.

But in this era, no matter how spectacular a place is, it is remote and no one visits it, so it seems to be sparsely populated. Except for some wild animals and birds, few people come here.

When Xu Bai and others arrived, everything was normal here.

There are mountains on both sides, and a huge depression in the middle, which constitutes the characteristic of Liyun Valley. The forest in the depression is dense, and it looks lively. The mountains on both sides are also covered with various plants.

Standing at the entrance of Liyun Valley, Xu Bai looked at the high canyon in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

From the outside, there is nothing unusual here. Instead, it looks like a beautiful place.

"Let's go in and take a look?" Wuhua asked.

Xu Bai nodded: "Be careful."

Since we are here, we must be careful.

Xu Bai walked in front, Wuhua in the middle, Ye Zi and Miao Xiao at the end, and the woman stood next to Xu Bai.

After a little communication along the way, Xu Bai also knew the woman's name.

——Chen Ting.

"Do you feel anything different?" Xu Bai asked Chen Ting.

Chen Ting shook her head blankly: "No other feeling, I just always feel panic in my heart."

Panic?

Xu Bai didn't ask more, because Chen Ting didn't know the reason either. He took the lead in front and stepped into this canyon first.

After entering, a gust of wind blew, and the temperature seemed to drop a little.

Xu Bai looked around, everything around was normal, except for the temperature.

In a large canyon like this, there is usually only one road, and everyone walked along the road in front.

After walking for about half an hour, something unusual happened.

Xu Bai originally thought that at least some small monsters would come, just like playing a game, clear the small monsters first, then fight the big monsters at the end, and finally fight the boss.

But he didn't expect that the abnormality would come so quickly.

There was a burning smell coming from all around, and then, with the blowing of the cold wind, it spread to Xu Bai's position.

The flame suddenly appeared. At first, the flame was very small, like a candle, but soon, with the blowing of the cold wind, the flame suddenly became larger, and the surroundings turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Fire takes advantage of the wind. Where there is wind, the flame spreads very quickly, but it seems that no one is panicking at the moment.

There is no trace of the Gu God Cult, but the flames in front of them must be related to the Gu God Cult.

The flames came quickly, but they also went away quickly.

After appearing for about half an incense stick of time, it disappeared without a trace as if it was suddenly extinguished by water. There was nothing else except the charred traces.

"Flame, what on earth are they trying to do?" Xu Bai thought to himself, while urging his soul to sense the surrounding situation.

There are people!

Under the induction of his soul, he sensed that there were people lurking around.

Not only were there people, but there were many, at least hundreds, surrounding them in the middle, but because they were hiding very deeply, they did not reveal their bodies.

But all this seemed extremely rough under Xu Bai's soul, and there was no way to hide it.

The other party seemed to know that it was impossible to hide it, so after a while, people dressed strangely appeared one after another around the canyon.

"Gu Shen Cult!" The Miao Cult where Miao Xiao was located had fought with the Gu Shen Cult for so long, so of course they knew it very well.

So at the first glance, he already knew the identity of this group of people.

"Yuan likes to be straightforward, very good." Xu Bai smiled.

He thought that the other party was going to beat around the bush with him. After all, he had seen a lot along the way, and they all used roundabout ways to deal with him.

Unexpectedly, the other party appeared directly after entering the canyon.

No communication, no words.

The group of Gu Shen Cult members raised their hands together, and the next moment, countless Gu worms flew out of their bodies, covering the sky and the sun, which was terrifying.

The number of Gu worms this time was more than that released by Miao Zheng at the beginning, hundreds of times more. Even in this wide area, each Gu worm was close to each other.

"Want to rely on numbers to deal with me?" Xu Bai said.

To be honest, the number is really large. There are hundreds of Gu worms at a glance, and this is just a casual glance.

Even Xu Bai felt his scalp tingling, after all, the number is really too much.

"But... whether we can fight or not, we will know after the fight." Xu Bai pulled out the black knife Bai Lie from his waist.

The melodious music sounded, and Ye Zi had already started to play.

Waves of light rose from Wuhua's body, covering his whole body.

On the other side, Miao Xiao also exiled the Gu worms, one of which was a golden silk Gu.

Chen Ting did not move. She had no body and could not fight, but she thought of something and frowned tightly, as if recalling something.

The Gu worms moved.

Countless Gu worms came roaring from all directions, covering the sky and blocking the sun. The sun in the sky was blocked and no light could be seen clearly.

Xu Bai took the lead and took a step forward. The black knife suddenly shattered. Countless fragments were like galaxies hanging in the air, tearing the thousands of Gu worms in front of him into pieces.

Wuhua put his hands together, and the Buddha's light rose on him. The Buddha's sound came out from him, and he was the center, strangling the surroundings.

Miao Xiao was a little weaker, but with Ye Zi's blessing, he could barely resist.

With the golden silk Gu as the center, the other Gu worms cooperated and made great progress.

The fourth-grade puppet guarded beside Ye Zi, or to be precise, there was no need to guard.

Because of Chen Ting's presence, the group of poisonous insects seemed to be instinctively afraid and did not dare to come near at all.

All the poisonous insects killed by Xu Bai and his team, after turning into ashes, actually burned violently, and the sky became a sea of ​​fire again.

From the current situation, they seemed to have the upper hand, but Xu Bai didn't think so.

Each attack took away hundreds of poisonous insects, but each time, there were tens of times more replenishment.

This number is really a headache.

Xu Bai can withstand it, but others are different.

Wuhua is very strong. Even with the strength of the third rank, he is also a leader at this level. It is not clear whether he is weak for the time being.

Miao Xiao has become different, and he seems to be struggling.

Xu Bai said: "If you can't stand it, go to Ye Zi and rest for a while."

He can see that only Chen Ting's place is safe.

The poisonous insects dare not approach at all. In this case, why not use it as a rest area.

Miao Xiao nodded, killed several more waves of poisonous insects, and finally couldn't stand it anymore. He quickly walked into the area where Ye Zi was, his face a little pale.

After resting for a long time, she stepped out to continue.

"Donor Xu, I always feel something is wrong." Wuhua put his hands together, and a large wave of sacred Buddha light crushed countless poisonous insects.

"The other party must know Chen Ting, but they still want to fight us to the death. Don't they consider this level?"

Xu Bai frowned when he heard it.

As Wuhua said, thinking carefully, it is indeed the case. The other party must know the existence of Chen Ting and know that the poisonous insects dare not approach, but why dare to fight them to the death?

The method they used just now can completely kill all these poisonous insects. After all, as long as they can't hold on, they can go in and hide for a while. It only takes time.

The people of the Gu God Cult are not stupid. If they were stupid, they would not have survived until now.

They will definitely not do such a self-destructive thing. Even if they want to do it, they must have a purpose.

Xu Bai thought in his heart, and the action of his hands did not stop. With another knife, he crushed thousands of poisonous insects in front of him.

The corpses of the Gu worms turned into flames all over the sky, and the Gu worms that were not killed turned into flames together.

Xu Bai's eyes focused, and finally found something wrong.

How could these Gu worms turn into flames after they died?

He had killed many Gu worms before, but he had never encountered this scene.

There is a problem!

There is definitely a problem!

Thinking of this, Xu Bai shouted: "Miao Xiao, have you seen this kind of death?"

Miao Xiao controlled the golden silk Gu and bumped around in the Gu worm pile. After hearing this, she replied: "After the Gu worms died, they returned to dust and returned to dust. I have never seen them turn into flames."

She had not seen it, not even in the Miao sect.

There were too many flames, covering the sky and the sun.

Some of the Gu worms were even killed by the flames, but the key problem was that these flames were actually hanging high in the sky and did not fall down.

No!

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. There must be something that has not been paid attention to.

Xu Bai separated a part of his soul and carefully sensed the surroundings.

He sensed every place around him, and when he sensed all these corners, he finally found something unusual.

"It's a pattern!"

Xu Bai's heart was shocked.

The place centered on him, these mountains and the gaps on the ground, including some placed stones, when put together, turned out to be a natural pattern.

That's right, it was natural, based on the surrounding scenery and mountains, rocks, and plants, as well as the ashes from the initial burning, together formed a series of patterns.

Patterns as vigorous as flames.

Flame... Lihuotan!

Xu Bai finally understood why they had started that fire at the beginning, and these ashes were also part of the pattern.

It turned out that the pattern of Lihuotan was not the same as that of Dividingshuitan. Dividingshuitan was only a small piece, while the pattern of Lihuotan was such a large area.

"Wait!"

"I know something is wrong there!"

Xu Bai's eyes passed through a space and finally fell on Chen Ting.

When he was at the water altar before, Lin Yong was even willing to use his companions' blood as a sacrifice in order to let him enter the Monster City.

Life is a sacrifice.

Then, life is also needed here.

But how can a large number of lives be found in a short time?

If you really look for a large number of lives, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Heavenly Supervisor.

So all this is extremely difficult.

However, this difficulty is not a difficulty for the Gu God Cult.

Xu Bai has a guess, and this guess is those Gu worms.

Can Gu worms also be used as sacrifices?

And here, with the help of the Lihuo Altar, can the Monster City be created?

The Lihuo Altar, the Gu worms, and the mark on his body.

Xu Bai has entered this circle and has learned too much so far, so it is easy to connect them together.

As for why they used poisonous insects to attack, this was probably a puzzle.

Who would pay attention to the flames when they were so excited about killing?

The more they killed, the more sacrifices they would have.

Moreover, Xu Bai happened to be standing in the pattern of the Lihuotan.

If the flames in the sky fell, they would also have a strong killing power, but why didn't they fall?

Xu Bai thought that it might have something to do with Chen Ting.

He could only think so, although he couldn't figure out one thing, that is, why didn't these guys destroy the poisonous insects themselves, which could also be considered as sacrifices.

But it was too late now, he thought too much, because he always felt that Chen Ting would be in danger.

After crushing the poisonous insects in front of him, Xu Bai ran towards Chen Ting and shouted, "Be careful of those poisonous insects."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was already standing next to Chen Ting.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, a voice immediately echoed in the canyon.

"What a smart man! I feel like you have guessed a lot, but you haven't guessed one thing."

The voice of the Gu God Cult came out...

"That means it has come to this point. You can't stop it. She... must die."

In the sky, countless flames gradually gathered. The next moment, the flames condensed and gradually shrank from the sky to the size of a little finger.

The little finger-sized flame no longer had the color of flames, but turned into emerald green, but it could be felt that there was a terrifying temperature inside.

"Can you stop the last bit of flame from the remains of the fire altar!"

"You can't stop it. She must die!"

The emerald green flame suddenly fell from the sky with a temperature like burning the sky and boiling the sea, and the target was Chen Ting.

This flame was extremely terrifying, and the surrounding space was burned with cracks. Just one look at it would make the soul feel hot.

Xu Bai reacted quickly. He looked at the emerald green flames gradually falling from the sky and took a deep breath.

The black knife Bai Lie was held tightly.

Xu Bai's true energy was madly urged, and he jumped up directly, heading towards the emerald green flame.

"Interesting."

"You want her to die, but I won't let her die."

"How?"

The flames connected with Xu Bai, and the terrifying temperature spread, covering the sky and the sun.
