Under the cover of night, the Lingyun Immortal Sect is brightly lit and bustling with activity.
Rays of light rose into the sky and headed straight towards the capital.
Those are the direct disciples of the Immortal Sect with extraordinary strength. Now they are going to the capital to protect the emperor under the leadership of the elders.
But in fact, an hour ago, almost all the elders of the Immortal Sect came out in full force and rushed to the capital in advance. The disciples who followed them now were more there to clean up the mess.
After all, by the time these disciples arrived in the capital, the outcome had probably already been decided—no matter who won or lost.
The disciples who stayed behind, as well as those who were unable to join the army to defend the king due to lack of strength, and many outer disciples were all unable to sleep at this time.
Everyone was excitedly discussing the news from the capital, speculating who was so bold as to rebel in the capital.
Inside the library, the Red Scaled Immortal slowly opened his eyes and climbed down from the stone pillar.
It heard a certain sound, which came from a magical weapon it had given to someone, and which only it could hear.
Now, hearing this voice, the red snake, which had never responded to any external noise, squirmed its body and quietly left the library.
No one noticed the departure of the divine beast that had guarded the forbidden books area for many years.
In a secret place in the back mountain of the Immortal Sect, a huge red snake rose from the shadows, and then its figure continued to solidify until it finally appeared completely.
The red snake's eyes were fixed on the four people in front of it, and its tongue moved as it made a low sound.
"Jiang Muxue... I haven't seen you for a long time. You have become smelly."
It was obvious that the Red Scale Immortal was disgusted by the demonic aura of Madam Snake Heart.
But fortunately, it was just disgust.
Facing this terrifying giant snake, the charming and cold Lady Snake Heart bowed and saluted: "Mu Xue greets the Red Scale Immortal."
Mrs. Snake Heart had a friendly smile on her face and was not afraid of the giant snake.
The red snake looked at the girl in green beside it. It could see fear and tension in the girl's eyes.
"Who is this little witch?" asked the red snake.
Zhizhen replied: "This is Lu Li, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect. She is also Luo Jing's sister and the sister-in-law of Senior Sister Qingxuan."
Zhizhen briefly introduced Lu Li's identity.
The red snake looked at the girl in green carefully and said, "The leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect? So weak?"
It seemed a little surprised, and looked Lu Li up and down again, saying, "It's rare that a sect like the Heavenly Demon Sect can produce a person like you."
"You little girl are very similar to Ying Qiuchan back then. Although you are from the Demon Sect, your soul is clear and your aura is pure. Even many righteous cultivators cannot match this."
After saying this, the Red Scaled Immortal looked at the old man Cui Jing standing beside him.
"Hmm... You are... Cui Jing? You are still alive? I remember you were..."
The Red Scaled Immortal obviously knew Cui Jing, and his tone was quite surprised.
But before it could finish its words, old man Cui Jing coughed repeatedly with an embarrassed look on his face, and at the same time signaled with his eyes to stop the Red Scale Immortal from saying anything.
It seems that Cui Jing had been to Lingyun Immortal Sect when he was young, and had met the Red Scale Immortal.
I just don’t know what ridiculous things Cui Jing did when he was young.
Looking at the strange expressions of the three young men, the old man Cui Jing coughed and said seriously.
"Okay, don't delay any longer. Time is precious now. Let's seize the opportunity to go to the Immortal Sect's forbidden area and find out what's going on."
The old man's purpose in changing the subject was obvious.
But now is definitely not the time to reminisce about the past.
The huge red snake looked at the four people in front of it and said, "I can explore the way for you, but I can't take action. If you are discovered, don't expect me to help you... You wait here for me first."
After saying this, the Red Scale Immortal left.
The forbidden area of Lingyun Immortal Sect is located in the foothills of the back mountain. It is secretive and taboo. It is a quiet valley with many magic arrays protecting it, and ordinary people cannot enter.
When the huge red snake appeared outside the forbidden area, it saw several disciples guarding outside the forbidden area.
When they saw the Red Scaled Immortal appear, the disciples were all shocked. They didn't know how this living fossil could leave the library and come to the back mountain.
However, his direct disciples often go in and out of the forbidden book area of the library all year round, and they all know the Red Scale Immortal and dare not be disrespectful.
All the disciples bowed.
The Red Scale Immortal sent all his disciples away with just a few simple words.
Soon, the Red Scale Immortal was the only one left at the valley entrance.
In the empty valley, the disciples of the Immortal Sect who were guarding the valley entrance left, and the figures of Lu Li and others appeared.
The four of them bowed to the red snake to express their gratitude.
The Red Scaled Immortal nodded slightly as a response.
The four of them did not delay and walked straight past the Red Scale Immortal and headed into the valley.
The entrance to the valley was narrow, and when the girl in green passed by the body of the giant red snake, the Red Scale Immortal seemed to have sensed something.
It turned its head in surprise and looked at the departing back of the green-clothed girl Lu Li.
In the mist of the Immortal Sect’s forbidden land, the figure of the girl in green is disappearing.
But at that moment just now, the Red Scale Immortal seemed to have noticed something about the girl.
There was a hint of confusion in its eyes.
"What a strange and chaotic atmosphere..."
The valley was filled with mist.
This kind of fog can block spiritual consciousness, and even the top cultivators cannot detect the situation in the fog.
Lu Li, Cui Jing, Jiang Muxue and Zhi Zhen walked side by side, watching everything in the fog vigilantly.
However, the fog was empty and the four people walked along the way but saw nothing and encountered nothing.
It seemed like this was just an ordinary valley shrouded in fog.
Such an empty scene made Elder Cui Jing curious: "Is this the forbidden area of Lingyun Immortal Sect? Why is there nothing here? Isn't it said that there are great mysteries in it?"
The forbidden area of Lingyun Immortal Sect is an ancient legend in the cultivation world of Central Plains.
Lingyun Immortal Sect, one of the three holy places, is different from the other two holy places.
The other two holy places were named holy places because they first produced supreme ancestors who swept across the region and opened up the mountain gates.
But the Lingyun Immortal Sect was founded after it had a forbidden area.
Legend has it that the founder of Lingyun Immortal Sect was not a human, but a mysterious holy spirit that walked out of this misty valley. He was familiar with all the mysteries of immortal arts between heaven and earth, and became famous all over the world when he first set foot in the Central Plains. He discussed Taoism with the masters of the other two holy places on the Lundao Rock, and then he opened up the Lingyun Immortal Sect.
At that time, the Demon Ancestor had not yet come to the world, and the path to immortality had not been cut off.
However, 600 years after the founding of the Immortal Sect, the founder of the Immortal Sect left a farewell letter and walked into the forbidden area alone, and has disappeared since then.
It is rumored that the forbidden area of Lingyun Immortal Sect leads to another mysterious space, which is the hometown of the founder of the sect.
But this is just a legend and no one has ever verified it.
The Lingyun Immortal Sect's external statement was that the sect's forbidden area was where the founder attained enlightenment, and out of respect for the founder, the place was sealed and outsiders were not allowed to enter.
