The moment the lights went out, Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. Cai Yingzi and Qi Ying noticed it at the same time, and each looked sideways, looking slightly shocked...
In the center of the cave, there are seven lampstands clustered together, shaped like an altar, and there is a sense of tranquility in the weirdness. Only six of the ever-burning lights were left, still shining dimly in the night. The six-point black firelight is like six lonely eyes, seeing through the void to the depths of loneliness, making people feel uneasy...
While the three of them were stunned, the situation in the cave quietly changed again. With a soft sound of "Push-", the lampstand without the light suddenly flashed with dark red blood, and then slowly sank into the ground. In the blink of an eye, the dark ground was as solid as ever, and the lampstand was gone.
Looking at the six lampstands that still existed, Cai Yingzi couldn't help but hissed in surprise. In the consciousness, it seemed as if nothing had ever happened, but everything just now was seen with my own eyes...
Without thinking too much, Cai Yingzi hurriedly turned around and looked at the other two people. Qi Ying was also surprised and at a loss. That Guanzhu Lin no longer drank, but got up from the ground, looking suspicious.
At this moment, slight footsteps broke through the silence. A ghostly figure appeared in the dark cave entrance, it was Ghost Dagger. He looked at the three people in the cave and asked calmly: "You are still here, we can see that fellow Taoist Qingye has returned..." Before he finished speaking, he turned to the lampstand, looked slightly startled, and said to himself: "Lamplight Why is one missing...?"
Seeing that the person who came was not yet awakened from hysteria, Cai Yingzi asked without replying: "You and Qingye walked out of the cave, how could you not find her whereabouts?"
Hearing the sound, Gui Dagger suddenly made an 'ah' sound. He looked at Cai Yingzi, blinked his eyes, and replied: "Qingye and I went out together, and when we turned around, she disappeared. I thought she was timid to return, but I didn't expect that to be the case..." He slowly lowered his head, Youyou said: "The situation outside the cave is really scary..."
After saying this, Gui Dagger walked to where he was originally and sat down slowly. For a few moments, he stared at the six remaining lights, with a half-smile on his face.
Cai Yingzi looked at Ghost Dagger and then turned to Qi Ying. After looking at each other for a moment, he turned his head and said, "Guardian Lin, if you want to go out of the cave for a while, the three of us will work together to ensure that you are safe."
Lin Yi's eyes moved from the lampstand to the ghost dagger, passing by Cai Yingzi and the other two, and then towards the dark entrance of the cave. Not long after, he curled his lips and said, "I heard there are scary people outside the cave. I'm a coward!"
Cai Yingzi's face darkened, but he heard Qi Ying, who rarely spoke, say: "The situation is unpredictable, it's best to be careful!" He held his long beard in his hand, pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "That's alright! Wait for Tian Xingzi. It’s not too late to come back with Wu Xuan and start arguing again.”
In the silent cave, the four of them sat back to their original places. Cai Yingzi and Qi Ying felt restless, and each dispersed their consciousness, unwilling to let go of the surrounding area. Ghost Dagger kept secret about everything outside the cave and sat alone in silence.
Lin Yi no longer paid attention to the lampstand, but looked down at himself with a slightly surprised expression. He then formed a mudra with his hands and breathed in and out. The demonic energy lingers here, which is rare to see...
Unknowingly, an hour passed. Lin Yi, who was sitting quietly, suddenly opened his eyes and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just at this time, there was movement at the entrance of the cave. He turned around and looked, his expression moved.
Qingye slowly walked into the cave, his tired look slightly dazed. She and the other three nodded, then looked at Ghost Dagger and asked, "Why did you leave me alone?"
The woman's sudden appearance surprised Cai Yingzi, and she lost her voice: "You're not dead..." Qi Ying, who was not far away, stroked his beard and said nothing, but nodded. After a while, they both turned to Ghost Dagger in unison. The other party's smile remained the same as before, but he said to himself slightly bitterly: "You ask me, who am I to ask!"
Qingye shook his head slightly and covered his chest with his hands, still feeling uneasy. She walked back to her place and sat down, and then said to Cai Yingzi, who had a questioning look on her face: "I came out of the cave and was immediately swallowed up by the mist. When I could figure out the direction, Fellow Ghost Dagger was gone. The figure had to return in a hurry..."
Cai Yingzi suddenly realized and his expression softened slightly. He glanced at Qi Ying and said, "I made the mistake of blaming Fellow Ghost Dagger before!" The other party remained calm, but his eyes fell on the place where the lampstand disappeared, thoughtfully.
With an unchanging smile, Gui Dagger said softly: "So what if I blame you wrongly! I'm afraid that this time we will lose both our lives and our wealth!"
This person's words are unpleasant! Cai Yingzi laughed disapprovingly and turned to Qingye and said: "The demonic energy here is very strong. Those who are not demon cultivators will inevitably be troubled by it." He paused and then asked: "Did you discover anything just now, Tianxing Where did the two of them go?"
After returning to the cave, guarding the lamp, under the black firelight, Qingye seemed to be much calmer. She looked at the missing lampstand and said, "I can't see anything outside the cave, and I have no way of knowing the whereabouts of Tian Xingzi and Wu Xuan. However, I clearly remember that there were seven lights here. Why is it like this..."
how so? Ever since I fell into this cave, everything has been unpredictable. Cai Yingzi still patiently explained what she had seen before, which indeed made Qingye even more confused.
Half an hour later, the five people who were sitting quietly looked up at the entrance of the cave.
The footsteps sounded softly and stopped suddenly as they approached the entrance of the cave. As a figure appeared, Wu Xuan, who had not returned for a long time, came back. The familiar easy-going smile was gone, and there was only a gloomy look on his face. In addition, he was carrying someone in his hand, who turned out to be Tian Xingzi.
"Plop——" With a sound, Tian Xingzi fell to the ground. His vitality was cut off and he had obviously been dead for a long time.
Seeing this, the five people in the cave stood up one after another. Qi Ying stared at Wu Xuan closely, with a cold light flashing in his eyes; Gui Dagger's smile turned cold and his expression was unclear; Qing Ye looked slightly flustered and at a loss; Lin Yi frowned slightly and remained silent. Only Cai Yingzi stepped forward and asked anxiously: "What happened?"
"Fellow Taoist, stop!"
Cai Yingzi was about to start when he was suddenly stopped by Wu Xuan in front of the cave entrance. Not long after, he waved his hands feebly, sighed heavily, and said in a deep voice: "On the way back, I unexpectedly saw the remains of fellow Taoist Tianxingzi. The cause of his death was unknown, so I had to come and ask fellow Taoists for advice. He was practicing Xu We are seniors and have known each other for many years, so even if I intend to do harm, I am unable to do so! Now that I have said that, please don’t be suspicious, so as not to hurt each other!”
"Puchchi——"
When Wu Xuan finished speaking, he jumped back suddenly in fright. With a soft sound, a black flame suddenly appeared on the ground, and the corpse burned up instantly. Tian Xingzi, the master of the Xingqiao Sect and an expert in refining the void, had already turned into ashes.
"It shouldn't be like this..." Wu Xuan muttered to himself as he looked at everything in front of him in disbelief. Suddenly, he saw the five people in the cave approaching. He knew that what he had just said was in vain, and hurriedly said: "Tian Xingzi was exposed to the demonic fire, which was really unexpected. And if I had hidden evil intentions, how could I dare to do so at this time? return……"
Caiyingzi stopped. Qi Ying, Qing Ye, Gui Dagger and Guanzhu Lin were all following behind him. At this moment, the five of them seemed to share the same hatred and hatred, making it clear that they were looking for trouble for Wu Xuan. Without any warning, an expert with the cultivation of emptiness died immediately, which can't help but shock people. And those who facilitated the trip to the secret realm will not be able to escape the blame.
"As far as I know, in the Hengtian Immortal Domain, it is unheard of for someone to cultivate the evil Yin Fire. And you, a junior who has transformed into a god, have mentioned this evil Yin Fire again and again, which makes people curious!" Cai Yingzi wanted to say. He was angry and showed no mercy in his words. He continued to ask aggressively: "What is the purpose of deceiving us to this point? Please tell the truth! If not, you will die!"
Wu Xuan looked anxious and couldn't argue. He couldn't help but stand up and roll up his sleeves, and said bitterly: "I knew nothing about the evil spirits and yin fires in the secret realm before. I only have some knowledge because of the teachings of fellow Taoist Tian Xingzi." He pointed at The lampstand more than ten feet away continued to say: "Fellow Taoist Tianxingzi once said that this fire comes from ancient times, is cold and extremely powerful, and is not dangerous as long as it is not touched easily. I am telling the truth, and I do not mean to deceive. As for why there are no fairy crystals and treasures in the secret realm, I...why is there one missing lamp..."
Lin Yi followed Cai Yingzi and the others, seeming to be adding insult to injury. However, while he was paying attention to the movements around him, he was always keeping a close eye on Wu Xuan's every move. Every word of the other party and every inadvertent look in his eyes made him speculate endlessly.
However, Cai Yingzi became angry because of Wu Xuan's evasive expression. Tian Xingzi is dead, maybe it will be his turn next. His words turned cold, murderous intent surged around him, and he yelled: "Hmph! Just look at him! My Xuan, if you don't hand over the map slip and tell the truth about the secret realm, when will you wait..."
These few people in front of me are not easy to deal with, let alone two experts who are experts in cultivating the void. Wu Xuan no longer cared about asking about the strangeness of the lampstand, and said loudly: "Wait a minute! I will present you with the picture..." As he spoke, something appeared in his hand, but he crushed it with force. In an instant, a ray of light flashed through, and his figure suddenly disappeared.
Seeing this, Cai Yingzi was furious. He was about to start chasing after him, but someone spoke out to dissuade him. The taciturn Qi Ying, holding his silver beard in his hand, spoke out at this moment: "Don't be rash, or you'll fall into the trap!"
Cai Yingzi felt stunned and his anger gradually died down. Since Tian Xingzi also has the cultivation level of Lianxu, isn't it hard to escape, let alone others? While he was weighing it in secret, someone suddenly said in surprise: "The lampstand that disappeared just now belongs to Tian Xingzi..."
Several people present looked at the sound and saw an inexplicable smile on Gui Dagger's face. He pointed at the six remaining lampstands and muttered to himself: "When a person dies, the lamp goes out, so that's how it is..."
The seven people came to the secret realm and worshiped the seven lampstands. Just as Gui Dagger said, each lampstand corresponds to a person. The lampstand that just disappeared was the one belonging to Tian Xingzi...
Inexplicably, there was a sudden chill, which made people feel confused. At this moment, the five people present felt their hearts skip a beat and couldn't help but widen their eyes.
The light that seemed to stay on forever, suddenly went out again...
