Chapter 266 Demon Suppression Tower
After entering the cave, everyone walked several hundred feet inside, and suddenly it became clear.
After everyone cast a few lighting spells, they found that they seemed to have entered a huge underground cave.
However, as soon as they entered this place, everyone felt a hint of cold wind blowing in their faces, which made people shudder.
"This breath is a little wrong, everyone be careful, don't disperse." Wang Mengxiao hurriedly reminded everyone, as if he smelled a strange bloody smell in the cold wind.
After everyone heard it, the few people who had just walked away hurried back.
"Brother Wang, I think we should explore the way first!" Bai Yunhua also reminded him when he heard it.
Wang Mengxiao nodded, and then took out a purple spirit beast bag from his waist.
There was only a squeak, and a foot-tall spirit rat jumped out of the spirit beast bag.
Under Wang Mengxiao's command, the cute looking spirit-seeking rat walked cautiously in front, while Wang Mengxiao followed behind with everyone at a distance.
The further they walked in, the more obvious the smell of blood in the air became, and a heavy look gradually appeared on everyone's faces.
The cave was so gloomy that it didn't look like a cultivator's cave at all. Everyone took out their magic weapons and prepared to fight at any time.
Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, and everyone came to the depths of the cave without much effort.
"Look, there is a corpse in front." With Bai Yunhua's shout, everyone's eyes immediately gathered.
"Yes, this is the robe of our Xiaoyao Sect. It seems that it is them. Who is so vicious that he dares to attack our Xiaoyao Sect here." In front of everyone was a very old corpse.
Because the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage absorb spiritual energy to temper their bodies for many years, even if they die within ten years, they will hardly be damaged. It is reasonable to identify this person's identity.
But the corpse in front of him could no longer see its original face. It seemed that all the blood and essence in his body had been drained away in an instant. His face had become a shrunken corpse. His expression was also very terrified. I wonder what terrible thing he had encountered.
At this time, the storage bag on the corpse had disappeared. Fortunately, the Taoist robes that this person wore were too obvious for the inner disciples of Xiaoyao Sect, so his identity could still be confirmed.
Seeing the appearance of this corpse, Song Qingming couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. This miserable appearance was really beyond his expectations.
Before everyone could think about it carefully, a second corpse was found not far ahead. The situation was similar to the previous corpse. It was also so miserable. The storage bag on the body had disappeared.
However, when Song Qingming saw this corpse, he still felt a little familiar. After a careful inspection, he confirmed that this was the body of his third brother Song Qingze.
A few dozen feet in front of Song Qingze's body, everyone found a somewhat damaged stone platform, around which lay four disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect who had suffered the same fate. It seemed that these were the few missing people left.
"Brother Bai, what kind of array is this? Do you recognize it?" Seeing a stone tower built of stones on top of the stone platform with many forbidden spells painted on it, Wang Mengxiao, who was walking in the front, quickly asked Bai Yunhua, a second-level array master beside him.
After hearing this, Bai Yunhua stepped forward to check it out, and then said with a serious face: "This doesn't seem to be a array, but a demon-suppressing tower that seals evil things. It seems that several nephews have triggered the seal, and the evil things inside have been released by them."
"Demon-suppressing tower, how can there be such a thing here? It has never been recorded in the sect's classics!" When they heard that this thing was a demon-suppressing tower, everyone's faces showed a trace of panic.
Things like demon-suppressing towers are not common in the world of immortal cultivation. They are generally used to seal those powerful demon cultivators or some evil spirits that are difficult to completely eliminate.
Unlike the low-level demon cultivators such as Yang Wuqi that Song Qingming had seen before, demon cultivators above the Jindan level can practice the art of Yin Demon Reincarnation. In critical moments, they can be reincarnated into the substitutes prepared before their death. If the demon conqueror does not have special means, it is difficult to completely eradicate this hidden danger even if he kills his physical body.
The Demon Suppression Tower is one of the ways to deal with these high-level demon cultivators. When the demon cultivator dies, his soul is directly imprisoned in the body, and the Demon Suppression Tower is used to suppress it for hundreds or thousands of years. When the life span of the demon cultivator himself or the prepared substitute is almost exhausted, he will not be able to make any waves.
This method is clumsy and the hidden dangers are also very large. Without cultivators guarding it all year round, it is easy for such a low-level cultivator to discover it and mistakenly think it is something left by the predecessors and ancient cultivators, and risk their lives to break the seal and release the sealed demons inside.
"Brother Bai, are you sure this is the Demon Suppression Tower? Could it be a mistake!" Wang Mengxiao looked at the stone platform in front of him and asked thoughtfully.
"I have never seen the Demon Suppression Tower with my own eyes, but judging from the runes on this seal, it is indeed a thing that can seal evil things. I am sure of this."
"Junior Brother Wang, this matter involves a big demon, and we need to report it to the sect immediately. Let's not get close to this magic circle first, let's go outside and inform Uncle Li first!" Hu Zhongxing saw that Wang Mengxiao had been staring at the Demon Suppression Tower in front of him, and seemed to want to go forward to check it out, so he quickly reminded him.
Wang Mengxiao turned around and looked at everyone. Seeing that no one opposed Hu Zhongxing's statement, he quickly changed his attitude of wanting to go forward to check it out, and asked everyone to collect the corpses around the stone platform and retreat from the cave.
One day later, Song Qingming, who was waiting in the Black Stone Valley with several people from the Xiaoyao Sect, saw two spiritual lights flying quickly across the sky, and soon two Jindan cultivators, a man and a woman, landed in front of everyone.
One of these two people Song Qingming knew, and it was Li Wutong, the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Xiaoyao Sect. Back then, Song Qingming got an opportunity to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill from him. He was also a great benefactor who helped Song Qingming a lot on his path.
The other one was a bit unfamiliar. Song Qingming had never seen her before. The woman was wearing a blue and white dress. Although she looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, she was beautiful and elegant. The unique aura she exuded was like a fairy who had stepped into the mortal world. Song Qingming had practiced Taoism for decades, but he had never seen a woman with such an outstanding temperament. He couldn't help but look at her twice more.
Such a beautiful woman could attract people's attention with every move. Fortunately, Song Qingming himself had good self-control in this regard, so he didn't show too much of a loss of composure on the spot.
"Greetings to Uncle Bai and Uncle Li!"
