In their opinion, the young master shouldn't have chased them down.
The Demon Sect has always attached great importance to inheritance. The young master is a true disciple of the Evil Lotus Sect and his status is higher than theirs. He should never put himself in danger to save them.
Shi Hao knew what they wanted to say, so he just smiled and said, "It's okay! I was planning to come down here and take a look anyway!"
Sha Lingshan waved her round fan and looked around: "What on earth is this place? I never thought there would be such a place under the Wu Gorge."
At this moment, they were in an underground cave.
They saw strings of lightning moving along the stone wall, like dragons and snakes, strange and inexplicable.
There were hurried footsteps in the distance, and they hurriedly hid. Soon they saw those purple-clothed men running around like ants on a hot pot.
Some people asked: "What happened? Why did it become like this?"
"Quiet!" - a loud shout came.
This shout was as loud as thunder, and it silenced the entire audience.
Shi Hao, Sha Lingshan, Madam Plum Blossom, Madam Peach Blossom and Little Feicui all knew that this person was a master.
Once they are discovered, this is the hiding place of these people, and there are enemies everywhere. It will be difficult for them to return to the surface, and they are afraid that they will be besieged to death.
Fortunately, there were many buildings here, and the tremor just now caused many buildings to tilt and collapse. They hid in them and were not discovered for a while.
"Lord Huo Lei!" the purple-clothed men said in unison.
The thunderous voice shouted: "Everyone listen, General Shui Lei rebelled and was bribed by the infiltrating demon sect, disrupting the magic array and causing abnormal changes, causing the thunder formation to start ahead of schedule. However, the current situation is still under the control of the God Lord and the four God Kings.
"Don't panic, stay alert, and be careful of external enemies sneaking in and taking the opportunity to cause chaos. The rest of the matter will be handled by the God and the four God Kings."
The purple-clad men responded in unison: “Yes!”
The man continued, "In addition, the enemies who are colluding with General Shui Lei are good at using poison and are insidious and cunning. If you see them, use strong crossbows to shoot them and don't get close to them easily. If you find General Shui Lei and those who followed her in the rebellion, hold them back and report to the other God Kings as soon as possible."
The purple-clad men responded again: “Yes!”
Soon, those people dispersed. The "Lord Huo Lei" also left in a hurry.
Shi Hao and his companions hid in the dark. He whispered, "He is good at using poison... He is from the Demon Sect! It seems that the Poison Sunflower Sect has colluded with their internal personnel. No wonder the 'Purple Luo Evil Lord' wanted to stop us and try to figure out our intentions. He is probably worried that we would interfere without authorization and ruin the Poison Sunflower Sect's plan."
Sha Lingshan pondered and said, "But what is this thunderous universal formation they just talked about? And who are these so-called gods and four great god kings?"
Shi Hao raised his head and said, "But what kind of formation is this? It looks like it's really a big deal."
At the same time, Wu Shun, Ding San and Zhao Li were running for their lives in the mountains.
They knew that the four benefactors had fallen into the abyss and their lives were in danger, so they should not have escaped without any sense of loyalty.
However, they knew that compared with those four people, their abilities were too low and they had no ability to rescue them.
They didn't even have the courage to jump into the chasm.
Around them, lightning flashed back and forth.
With a crackling sound, one of the lightning bolts hit Zhao Li.
Wu Shun and Ding San turned around and saw Zhao Li glowing all over and shaking in the lightning.
The lightning that passed through his body was like an eight-legged monster, spreading underground.
"Go!" Zhao Li shouted, took two crooked steps, and fell to the ground.
When the lightning moved away, his body was already charred and smoking.
Chapter 192 Underground Mountain Ghost
How could Wu Shun and Ding San dare to stay any longer? They fled for their lives, with crackling sounds and thunder and lightning.
Thunderbolts struck wildly from the thunderclouds, bombarding the cracked earth.
Sparks of electricity were running through the cracks in the ground.
The thunderclouds in the sky are decreasing little by little.
The electric lights on the ground were gathering more and more.
Looking around, the whole mountain and field were filled with lightning.
Shi Hao, Sha Lingshan, Madam Plum Blossom, Madam Peach Blossom, and Little Feicui all raised their heads and looked up.
The dome covering the sky was a vast expanse of white.
The lightning gathered and shrank in the dome. It no longer struck down, but was like dense, moving long snakes.
"What, what is going on?" Madam Taohua's face turned pale.
This dome could collapse at any time, and the terrifying feeling of it falling towards them with rumbling thunder was really frightening.
There were hurried footsteps ahead, so they hurriedly moved away, sticking to the cliff wall and using obstacles to avoid the sight of those people.
—A group of purple-robed warriors hurried past, looking up as they walked, also looking at the strange sight high up.
After these people left, the four people and an exquisite little puppet continued to move.
They didn't know the specific layout here, nor could they refer to the garden architecture outside.
First, we passed through many stone chambers where people lived, and then through a dense forest with intertwined shadows of trees.
Although there were many people running around on the way, they all carefully hid away.
We came to a dark area, and the lightning gathered on the dome seemed far away.
No purple-robed warrior came here either.
Shi Hao had a headache: "The layout here is probably regular. But if we grope around like this, it's like a blind man groping for an elephant. We don't have a full picture, and it's hard to make a judgment."
Sha Lingshan gently waved her round fan and said, "In my opinion, the Poison Sunflower Sect will definitely make another big move. Why don't we hide first and see what happens next?"
Shi Hao nodded: "If it really doesn't work, this is the only way..." Suddenly, he turned his head and looked.
Sha Lingshan placed the round fan lightly on her chest, then turned around and looked.
Lady Plum Blossom and Lady Peach Blossom saw that both of them were looking at the mountain wall and couldn't help but look at each other.
Little Feicui flew over and said, "Young Master, there is a crack in the mountain! It seems like someone escaped into it!"
Shi Hao walked over and saw that the mountain crack was split diagonally. Looking from the front, it was extremely difficult to detect in this dim environment.
It was because he proactively released his mysterious energy that he realized someone was watching them, and that’s when he turned around.
The mountain crack was long and narrow. Shi Hao's profound energy spread further. He whispered, "There seems to be a tunnel over there."
Sha Lingshan said, "But this mountain gap is too narrow. If someone is guarding that side, they will be able to attack us once we get out."
Little Feicui said, "I'll go over and take a look!" She flashed away and disappeared.
After a while, there was a crackling sound from the other side. Then the light and shadow flickered, and Little Jade appeared: "Young Master, there are two people over there... Well, they might be two ghosts, anyway, I knocked them out."
Shi Hao asked: "Are they two people, or two ghosts?"
Little Jade said, "It doesn't look like a human, but more like a ghost. But it doesn't have any special abilities. But I don't know where the tunnel there leads to."
Shi Hao said, "Let's go and take a look!" He used the Nine Transformations of Yin Mei, and his body moved like flowing water, sneaking into the crevice of the mountain.
This mountain crack is about ten feet long and quite winding. After passing through the mountain crack, I saw two people lying on the ground... Maybe they really are two ghosts
The two men were as short as children, less than half the height of an average person, with long pointed ears.
He was dark all over, with hair so short that his skin was invisible, and looked like a ghost.
They fell to the ground unconscious with harpoons as tall as themselves in their hands.
There was a rustling sound behind him, it turned out to be the Sha Ling fan trying hard to get out from the crevice in the mountain.
The crevice in the mountain was too narrow. When Shi Hao came over, he used the bone shrinking technique from the Nine Changes of Yin Mei, and it was better.
Sha Lingshan had not practiced the Nine Transformations of Yin Mei, so she could only rely on her soft body to move forward little by little. At this last step, she found it difficult to continue.
Shi Hao had to grab her hands and help pull her out.
"It's really narrow here. There was someone peeping through the crevice just now, why... um!" She looked at the two weird guys lying on the ground who were as thin as children, thoughtfully.
Soon after, Madam Plum Blossom and Madam Peach Blossom also came out one after another with the help of Shi Hao.
In the process, they were covered in dust.
"A dwarf?" Madam Taohua couldn't help but ask.
Shi Hao looked at the tunnel extending downwards and whispered, "Anyway, go down first and be careful."
Sha Lingshan patted the dust off her body with her round fan, still as graceful as ever. She smiled and said, "These two weirdos are probably not in the same group as those purple-clothed people just now. This mountain crack also seems to have been built secretly. I feel like things here are getting more and more complicated."
They walked down the tunnel.
At the corner, there was a small brazier with kerosene burning in it, which barely brought a little light to the dark tunnel.
—The road went down and a thin figure appeared around the bend in front. When the man saw them, he screamed and turned back.
Shi Hao whispered, "Chase!"
They chased after him quickly, and soon came out of the tunnel, only to find that it was an underground cave.
The sound of breaking through the air was heard rapidly, and densely packed tiny crossbow arrows shot towards them.
Sha Lingshan took a step forward and waved the round fan. An amazing vortex of air formed in front of her, which sucked all the arrows away.
These arrows were all made of metal, but they were gathered into a ball by her casual wave, twisted and deformed, and with a bang, they turned into an iron ball and hit the ground.
This is the Mo Xiao Wuji Gong and the Purple Vortex Sword Technique!
Before the Night Charm Demonic Codex was integrated, the Mo Xiao Wuji Gong and the Purple Vortex Sword Technique were separated, and even the Sha Ling Fan could not be learned in full.
Until the last full moon night, Shi Hao appeared and reappeared the complete Night Charm Codex as the "Young Master". Only then did Sha Lingshan have the opportunity to practice the Magic Wuji Gong and the Purple Vortex Sword Technique.
The Magic Wuji Skill is a seventh-grade martial art. After she advanced to the fourth grade, it was natural for her to master this seventh-grade magic skill.
After completing the training, with her fourth-grade foundation, the power of the Mo Xiao Wuji Gong became even greater.
Shi Hao thought to himself that he had also practiced the Mo Xiao Wuji Gong. With his current abilities, he would never be able to do what Sister Sha did. With a casual wave of her hand, she sucked up these sharp arrows that were obviously shot from a powerful crossbow and twisted them into a ball.
On the stone pillars and behind the big rocks in front, there were thin figures hiding one after another. These ghost-like guys were holding crossbows, and they watched as the hundreds of sharp arrows they shot were inexplicably compressed into a big iron ball in front of these people.
As the iron ball hit the ground and caused a vibration, they were all horrified and retreated in panic.
As they retreated, the thin figure became increasingly blurred, and along with their terrified expressions, it seemed as if it would collapse and turn into ashes at any moment.
"Who are you?" An old voice sounded, a little surprised, "Aren't you the Taoist priests?"
Shi Hao knew that these weirdos mistook them for the men in purple.
After all, they did come through the mountain crevice from where the purple-clothed men lived.
This also shows how afraid they are of those people in purple.
As time went by, these thin and tiny voices gradually became like translucent ghost lights, floating back and forth.
He whispered, "We are not Taoist priests. We just strayed into this place by mistake. We want to know what happened in this area."
I saw a short old man with a white beard, holding a cane, slowly walking out from behind the stone.
He sighed deeply: "Alas... just follow me!" He turned around and walked away slowly.
Shi Hao, Sha Lingshan, Madam Plum Blossom and Madam Peach Blossom followed behind him. Little Feicui appeared and sat on the young master's shoulder.
Shi Hao always felt that since he helped Xiao Feicui to "transfer her soul and strengthen her spirit" last time, Xiao Feicui had become much closer to him.
Before that, it always felt like Little Feicui was distancing herself from him, and she was forced to obey him purely because he was the young master.
Shi Hao saw that, although this white-bearded old man holding a staff was short, he was obviously different from other "people".
The others had dark skin, which turned into a translucent, pale green flame when they were scared. They looked extremely strange, and at first glance, they looked more like ghosts than humans.
Although this old man was short and thin, he looked no different from a human being. His back was severely hunched, as if he had rickets.
"Are you from outside the mountain?" asked the thin old man with white beard, "You are not from the Shenting Sect, why did you come from there?"
Shi Hao said: "We were just attacked by them. Just now, the mountain shook and the ground cracked. We fell down and were thinking about how to escape when we found this mountain crack."
The old man sighed, "Alas, that crack was originally a hole for the mountain ghosts to spy on and monitor the Taoists. It was just a small hole, but the vibration just now tore it bigger, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get through."
After passing through another tunnel, I saw a big tree and many skinny "people" busying around.
It was not until then that they saw that there were women here. The women looked just as thin as children, but their skin was darker and yellower, their hair was very long, and their ears were not that pointed. They were mostly wearing rough skirts made of linen, and their hair was very long.
Seeing them come in, both men and women seemed very scared and hid themselves one by one.
