"Um???"
The young master of the Demon Cult raised his eyebrows and exclaimed, "This?"
"This is the guardian beast of the Demon Cult's branch temple here!"
The demon priest was also shocked and screamed: "How could it die here?"
"This is clearly the territory of the Demon Cult's branch!"
"Could it be..."
"The Red River Demon Cult's branch is being invaded by foreign enemies!"
The two maids also screamed: "Young Master! What should we do?"
"Could it be..."
A very bad thought came to the mind of the young master of the Demon Cult: "Has the blood altar of this branch of the Demon Cult been destroyed?"
"not good!"
The demon priest also shouted: "Don't do that!"
"This blood altar is related to the revival of the Demon Lord! If there is any error in one of the blood altars, our plan to awaken the Demon Lord within half a year will fail!"
"Rebuilding a blood altar will take at least half a year! By then, the war in Zhao's immortal cultivation world will not wait for us!"
"Let's go!"
The young leader of the Demon Cult shouted, "Go and see what's happening with the blood altar!"
…
Deep inside the Red River Cult's branch, near the blood altar.
Lin Li fled here, and along the way, he found many traces of battles when the teams from the three major sects were being chased.
Finally, Lin Li saw the destroyed blood altar in front of him!
There are some large and small cracks in the ruins of the blood altar.
"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to hide first and make plans after the powerful enemy leaves."
Thinking of this, Lin Li rushed to the ruins of the blood altar, roughly dug up a large stone, hid inside, and covered himself with the stone.
…
A moment later.
"Huh?"
Lin Li was surprised to find that underneath where he was hiding, there was a secret room that was about two people wide and one and a half people high, deep underground.
Just as Lin Li was surprised, the four members of the Demon Cult also came to the blood altar.
"No!!!"
When the young leader of the Demon Cult saw the remains of the blood altar, he screamed in agony.
The demon cult priest also had an expression that turned very ugly.
Two beautiful women, one on the left and one on the right, hugged the young master of the Demon Sect and whispered softly: "Young Master..."
"hateful!"
The expression of the originally handsome young master of the Demon Sect suddenly became extremely violent: "Who is it! Who on earth is it! How dare you ruin my plan!"
Although Lin Li was not as knowledgeable as Wei Heng and the other three captains, and was not able to recognize the identities of the Demon Cult's young master and the Demon Cult's priest, just by looking at him, Lin Li realized that the Demon Cult's priest was very unfathomable...
To Lin Li, the demon priest seemed just like Lin Li's master, Elder Zou, full of knowledge and power!
Sudden!
The demon priest frowned!
"who!"
He suddenly shouted: "Who is hiding in the dark and dare not show up?"
“Oh no!”
Lin Li's heart tightened: "I didn't expect that just by looking at me, that person would notice something unusual. He is really unfathomable!"
"There's no other way, I have to do this!"
Lin Li did not hesitate and rushed into the underground secret passage that was two people wide and one and a half people high at the fastest speed.
at the same time.
The demon priest shook his staff, and a bright yellow light shot towards the place where Lin Li was just now.
boom!
The stone pestle at the blood altar ruins exploded!
"strangeness… "
The demon priest frowned and said, "Just now, I clearly felt that someone was hiding in that place and spying on us."
"Your Excellency the Priest..."
The young master of the Demon Cult said in surprise: "Look!"
"Huh?"
The demon priest raised his eyebrows and said, "Why is there a secret passage there?"
The narrow underground secret passage, which was originally two people wide and one and a half people high, had its entrance blown open by the attack of the demon priest just now.
The secret passage seemed much more spacious and had stairs.
"How could there be a secret passage beneath this blood altar?"
The demon priest also said doubtfully: "I have never heard of a secret passage beneath the blood altar before!"
"Except for the blood altar at the main altar, most of the other blood altars have been passed down from ancient times to this day."
The young master of the Demon Cult said: "It is understandable that the priest has never heard of it. I have never heard of it either."
"Since this blood altar has been destroyed, why don't we go to this secret passage and investigate to see what secrets this ancient secret passage holds?"
"Okay!"
The demon priest nodded.
The four of them then headed towards the secret passage.
…
Inside the secret passage.
Lin Li didn't dare to use magic, so he had to use his spiritual power to cover his eyes and barely see.
The air in this secret passage is filled with a rotten smell and contains very little oxygen.
If an ordinary person had come this far, he would have died from lack of oxygen.
Fortunately, Lin Li had a high level of cultivation, so even though the air contained very little oxygen and some corrupt and toxic gases, he was able to hold his breath and keep moving forward.
For cultivators in the foundation-building stage, it is no problem to rest for several hours.
After walking several miles underground, Lin Li discovered that at the end, there was actually a magic circle with a radius of ten feet!
"this… "
Lin Li frowned and examined it carefully.
Finally, he was surprised to find that this was actually an ancient teleportation array!
"In the secret passage beneath the blood altar of the demon cult that awakened the demon lord, there is actually an ancient teleportation array!"
Lin Li was confused and puzzled: "Where exactly does this ancient teleportation array lead to?"
Lin Li looked carefully and found that the spirit stones in this ancient teleportation array had lost their spiritual power.
"A total of... one hundred and eight spirit stones!"
"All of them have no spiritual power."
Lin Li thought to himself: "One hundred and eight spirit stones, this is really not a small number!"
After all, for most disciples of Xuantian Sect, they can only obtain a few spirit stones throughout the year.
These one hundred and eight spirit stones are equivalent to the entire fortune of Xuantian Sect’s disciples for decades!
"hateful!"
Lin Li felt very unwilling!
But there is no other way.
"I don't know if this ancient teleportation array is still useful, and I don't know where this ancient teleportation array leads to."
Lin Li thought: "But, there are Jindan stage masters from the Demon Cult outside. This is my last hope."
"I hope that the master of the Demon Sect does not enter this secret passage. After a few days, I can get out from here and return to the sect."
"Otherwise, not only will we waste 108 spirit stones, but we will also be teleported to an unknown place. This is really too bad!"
Lin Li was certain that if he could return to the sect, he would have made great contributions and would receive generous rewards from the sect!
But.
At this time.
Lin Li's ears twitched.
He faintly heard footsteps and muffled voices in the distance.
"I never thought that the secret passage under the blood altar would be so deep."
"I wonder what is at the end of this secret passage?"
"With the High Priest here, it doesn't matter what it is."
"Hopefully, we can get new information about the Demon Lord."
Lin Li gritted his teeth and said, "It's over!"
"There's no other way! I have to give it a try!"
Lin Li began to quickly pull out the spirit stones from the ancient teleportation array and put his own low-grade spirit stones in it...
