A raging fire burned in the brazier in the middle of a wooden frame supported by three long wooden poles, illuminating an area of dozens of meters around it. The light became dimmer as one went further out.
Tonight, dark clouds covered the moon, and this was the branch of the Demon Cult, and the aura was so thick that there was no light at all. Only the fire racks that were lit every few dozen meters could illuminate the surroundings and allow people to see things.
The periphery of the Demon Cult’s branch temple.
Two disciples of the Demon Sect are on the watchtower, ready for battle!
In fact, they all already knew that a powerful enemy would attack tonight!
Therefore, they did not dare to be absent-minded at all and focused their attention on the jungle outside the wooden fence.
Sudden!
A glimmer of light, fleeting!
"Huh? What is that?"
The demon sect disciple in blue and green clothing on the left asked in doubt: "Did you see it?"
"What?"
The black-robed disciple on the right asked doubtfully, "Are you seeing things?"
"How could it be? I clearly saw a bright light just now! But now it's gone."
"You are really too nervous! Relax a little! There are only twelve of them. Our branch is so big, how could we be so lucky to be seen by them?"
Just as the black-robed disciple casually replied...
A sword beam shot out from the dense forest outside the wooden fence below!
"careful!"
The demon cult disciple in blue and green clothing yelled, but it was too late!
I saw that a sword energy had already killed the black-robed demon sect disciple beside him!
"Enemy...enemy attack!!!"
The blue and green disciples who were serving suddenly screamed in shock and were ready to ring the big bell beside them to pass the news to others.
Unfortunately, the disciples stationed on the periphery are only in the early or middle stage of Qi Refining.
Not only were they unable to attend the recent meeting in front of the blood altar, they were also unable to attend due to their garrison reasons.
Even the plan that the leader of the forum was going to use against the three major sects’ raiding teams was not known to him…
In a nutshell, they were treated as abandoned pawns in this crisis of the Demon Cult branch!
Before he could ring the bell, a man holding a magic umbrella flew up from the forest outside and cast a magic spell at him!
He couldn't even ring the bell before his body was cut into pieces by several wind blades that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye!
"good!"
In the forest below, the leader of the Tianjue Mountain team cheered and praised: "The sword energy of the Xuantian Sword School is indeed well-deserved! Even from such a distance, a single sword can still be fatal!"
"Your Tianjueshan Fengliu's wind magic is also very powerful, hahahaha!"
Wei Heng smiled and led the crowd out of the forest.
Lin Li, naturally followed behind.
Each watchtower is dozens of meters apart.
In addition, the vision was not clear due to the lighting problem, so the bell could not be rung. The incident in this watchtower was not discovered by the other watchtowers.
When they arrived in front of the wooden fence, Wei Heng casually cut a gap in the fence for everyone to pass through.
After entering, everyone walked forward about ten meters and arrived in front of a two-story building.
"Strange, why is there no one here?"
Wei Heng frowned and talked to himself in confusion.
"Logically speaking, this kind of two-story building is where the disciples of the Demon Cult live. It's late at night, so there should be people here."
The captain of Zheng Miaomen also felt that something was wrong.
“Look!”
The captain of Tianjue Mountain pointed to the fence on the first floor of the two-story building.
I discovered that there were densely packed centipedes inside!
There are many wooden platforms inside the fence on the first floor.
Inside the wooden platform, there were centipedes that would make people feel creepy when they saw them!
The smallest of these centipedes is as thick as a baby's arm, and is more creepy and huge than the centipedes seen in the outside world!
"No wonder there are so many snakes, insects, rats and ants near the wooden fence."
Captain Tian Jueshan said: "It seems that they may be raised by the disciples of the Demon Sect. Some of them escaped by chance, so there are many monsters, snakes, insects, rats and ants around."
Just as the three were talking, Lin Li suddenly rushed towards the small building without saying a word.
"Lin Li! What are you doing?!"
Wei Heng's eyes widened with anger! His tone was stern, but he didn't dare to speak too loudly, for fear of disturbing the Demon Cult.
"Damn it! That kid didn't obey orders again!"
The people from Tianjue Mountain and Zhengmiao Sect also showed anger on their faces. "We just made a plan to avoid all battles, sneak into the blood altar, destroy it and escape. What does he want to do now?!"
"Does he want our stealth plan to fail?!"
Everyone was furious!
Lin Li smiled and thought: That’s great!
Ye Fan was also very happy: "This Demon Cult is really my lucky star, hahaha! There are so many demonized centipedes in this small building alone. Looking around, I wonder how big this Demon Cult's branch temple is! There are countless small buildings like this! This time, I can have a great harvest!"
Hearing the angry shouts from the people behind him, Lin Li turned around and waved his hands, saying: "Everyone, go first! I will disrupt things here to attract the attention of the Demon Cult! This way, your stealth plan will be more successful!"
Everyone was stunned and their eyes widened!
However, there was no anger in his eyes, instead, they were full of confusion.
"What is he doing?"
"Is he ill?"
"nerve!"
"Is his head full of shit? Isn't this asking for death?"
The disciples of Tianjue Mountain and Zhengmiao Sect were extremely confused and had no idea what was going on in Lin Li's mind.
The three people from Xuantian Sect's Sword Faction were shocked and moved!
"Junior Brother Lin, he knows that he will face the high-ranking members of the Demon Cult later. He is only at the foundation-building stage, and he has consumed too much spiritual energy just now. He cannot pose any threat to the high-ranking members of the Demon Cult, so..."
"I would rather take the risk and attract the attention of the Demon Cult alone, so as to lead the main force of the Demon Cult to hunt him down. Then, our stealth plan will go more smoothly!"
"Junior Brother Lin is so kind!"
"Alas! This is a bit unfair to him."
"If anything happens to Junior Brother Lin, how should I explain to Elder Zou?"
The three people from Xuantian Sect's Sword Faction were deeply moved. The people from the other two major sects continued to move forward and began to urge them, "Hurry up! That kid is just being stupid. Let's ignore him!"
"Don't let our plan be ruined just because of him!"
The three people from Xuantian Sect's Sword Faction were a little angry when they heard them call Lin Li a stupid boy.
But.
What the people from the two major sects said made sense, and they could not refute it.
"Junior Brother Lin, please be careful!"
Both sword sect disciples shouted with concern.
Wei Heng said, "Junior brother! Thank you for your kindness! If you encounter danger later, just crush this positioning jade token made by the disciples of the Qipai! Then, we will rush to rescue you!"
As he spoke, Wei Heng took out a square white jade plate about the size of a thumb from his arms and threw it to Lin Li.
