"How did this kid die?"
Sha Lifei clicked his tongue, sowhat puzzled.
"He probably trusted the wrong person..."
Li Yan looked down at the corpse, deep in thought.
Above the corpse, there was still a trace of a residual soul, and at this mont, he could vaguely hear so voices: "Master, why..."
Chongxu Zi, the old Daoist, also furrowed his brows, looking at the wound on the chest of the corpse, he said solemnly, "The Heavenly Gang Finger Qi Technique may be a basic skill, but it’s also a secret technique for Sword Immortal entry training."
"In Qingniu Temple, only Ku Mu has cultivated this technique deeply!"
"Let’s go!"
Li Yan stood up and looked forward; a murderous intent rose in his eyes, "San’er, release the hawk. The Salt Gang might be involved too!"
"Alright."
Lv San nodded solemnly, raising his hand, the hawk Eagle Falcon Lidong, already healed, soared into the sky.
Furthermore, the little white fox Chu Qi also bounded into the dense forest.
This little fox already had an extraordinary bloodline, and as it progressed, its spirituality began to reveal itself, able to cooperate with Lv San in reconnaissance.
Additionally, Lv San had soone make a little vest; the plump Mouse Dajie and Mouse Er were tucked in the vest’s pocket.
The trio had an outstanding advantage in the forest.
Soon, the hawk responded, flying and chirping.
Lv San glanced over and spoke, "Over this mountain, there’s a deep valley shrouded in dense mist, and corpses outside."
Li Yan looked at Chongxu Zi, "Senior, what place is that?"
The old Daoist pondered, stroking his beard, spoke in a deep voice: "A decade ago, an earthquake shook Shu, and it opened a crack there, frequently causing flash floods that washed out so bones, but they were ancient beasts that had turned to stone."
"Initially, people went to investigate, but found nothing and often encountered beasts, gradually losing interest."
"I rember there was never any miasma there..."
"It seems action has been taken, let’s move quickly!"
Upon hearing this, everyone speeded up imdiately.
They were either skilled in magic skills or proficient in martial arts so the difficult mountain path didn’t pose an obstacle.
In less than an hour, they reached the mountain top.
But after just taking a few steps, Li Yan’s expression turned strange.
Beside him, Chongxu Zi the old Daoist showed rising anger, drew out his treasure sword with a resounding clang, and quickened his pace.
Up ahead on the mysterious woodland path, several Daoists were kneeling.
Leading them was Yuan Qing.
"It really is you!"
Chongxu Zi the old Daoist angrily said, "What on earth are you and Ku Mu doing, aren’t you afraid of ruining Qingniu Temple’s reputation!"
Upon hearing Chongxu Zi’s words, Yuan Qing sighed, then respectfully cupped his hands, "Uncle Master, there’s more to this matter, whatever happens, we are willing to take full responsibility, but please turn back."
"Take full responsibility?"
Chongxu Zi the old Daoist laughed angrily, "Where did you get the qualification!"
Yuan Qing bit his lip, hesitantly said, "Uncle Master, there are outsiders, it’s not suitable to explain here, could you please step aside?"
"Master, be careful of deception!"
Nearby, Lingfeng Zi urgently whispered a reminder.
"What to fear!"
Chongxu Zi the old Daoist glared, holding the treasure sword, strode forward, following Yuan Qing into the adjacent forest.
Sha Lifei watched, then looked at Li Yan.
Li Yan remained calm, made a hand gesture.
Everyone instantly beca alert.
Sha Lifei even squinted his eyes, pressed down on the firearm.
This was a signal prepared to act and turn against them at any mont.
Though unaware of the reason, they trusted Li Yan.
anwhile, after entering the dense forest, Yuan Qing produced a magic artifact to activate and set up a simple array to prevent eavesdropping.
Li Yan glanced over but paid no attention.
Having been briefed, he already knew the reason.
The mastermind behind all this wasn’t Ku Mu, Yuan Faluo’s master.
It was the temple master of Qingniu Temple!
Ku Mu, Yuan Qing, were rely his puppets.
The reason for avoiding explanations in the Taoist Temple was the fear of Chongxu Zi’s protection.
On unfamiliar territory, with offerings to Mortal Gods, it would be troubleso to flee then.
But away from the Taoist Temple, arriving in this wilderness, they held the advantage in numbers and had no fear of confrontation.
Sure enough, after saying a couple of words, Chongxu Zi the old Daoist erged, expression somber, followed by a silent Yuan Qing.
"Master..."
Lingfeng Zi opened his mouth but stopped half-sentence.
There was already a fearso guess forming in his heart.
"Changsheng..."
Chongxu Zi the old Daoist sighed to the sky, his face suddenly appearing even older, "Old Daoist is also unwilling!"
Saying this, he suddenly turned, slapped Yuan Qing’s chest.
Puff!
Yuan Qing spat blood, rolling several ters away.
"Foolish thing!"
Chongxu Zi the old Daoist flushed with anger, roared, "His senior brother long fell into demon possession, had he spoken sooner, it wouldn’t have co to this!"
Li Yan watched, truly surprised.
It seed the old Daoist had made a choice.
In the past, due to the master’s matters, he conflicted with the living Yin ssengers; now facing a choice again, he no longer hid.
Could it be this old Daoist was at odds with his senior brother?
While Li Yan secretly pondered, Chongxu Zi the old Daoist turned to reprimand the disciples: "His senior brother always opposed the matter, all the helpers are fools, deceived by demons and don’t even know it!"
The Daoists hearing this exchanged puzzled glances.
"No..."
On the ground, Yuan Qing struggled to get up, seemingly wanting to say sothing.
But before his words could co out, Chongxu Zi the old Daoist snapped off a piece of bark, flicked it with his finger.
Whizz!
The bark flew, striking under Yuan Qing’s jaw.
The Daoist didn’t even groan, passed out directly.
"Follow !"
Chongxu Zi the old Daoist’s face turned solemn, leading the way ahead.
Li Yan understood, motioned for everyone to follow...
...
Crossing over the mountain ridge, a mysterious woodland path appeared.
This was a passage frequently traversed by local mountain villagers and old hunters of the Tu Clan, wherever people lived, forests generally had them.
