Chapter 94: Earthquake in the Fucheng

"Captured Red Second alive?!"

Jiang Ye raised his eyebrows, and a strange look flashed in his aged eyes.

He had heard the twin sisters mention going down the mountain to stretch their muscles in the cold pool before, but he didn't expect them to act so quickly.

How many days had it been? And the person had already been captured alive.

Speaking of which, he also had quite a connection with these "Six Demons of Yunling."

Although it was rumored in the Profound Heaven Sect that Wen Yueyao cleaned up Black Fifth, in fact, the person who beheaded him with one blade was Jiang Ye.

And that ugly man who contributed the "Blood Moon Blade" and "Vajra Body-Refining Art" to him should also be a member of the "Six Demons of Yunling."

It's just that he didn't know what the other party's name was.

After all, his understanding of the "Six Demons of Yunling" was basically learned from other people's casual chats, and he hadn't taken the initiative to inquire about it.

Seeing Jiang Ye raise his eyebrows, Lu Ming knew that his Elder Jiang might not know much about the "Six Demons of Yunling."

He quickly explained:

"Elder Jiang, this Red Second is no ordinary character."

He paused, took a deep breath, as if it were not enough to calm the excitement in his heart:

"He is the number two figure in the 'Six Demons of Yunling', second only to that mysterious big demon. It is rumored that he cultivates a Explosive Flame True Qi, which is very domineering, and he is also good at using hidden weapons, with vicious and ruthless methods."

"Many martial artists in the Embracing the Pill Realm have suffered at his hands, some dead and some injured; he can be called the most evil among evil bandits!"

As he spoke, his eyes lit up, and his voice rose a few notches:

"This time, the two Hua sisters from Profound Water Peak were able to capture him alive directly; it's really awesome! Not killing, but capturing alive! You think about it, what kind of strength that must be!"

He swallowed his saliva, his face full of exclamation:

"Now the entire prefecture city has had an earthquake! Those families harmed by Red Second, after hearing the news, wish they could burn high incense! On my way here, I saw several groups of people sending gifts to Profound Water Peak!"

Jiang Ye listened to Lu Ming's endless narration; he didn't speak, but looked toward the direction of Profound Water Peak, lost in thought.

Capturing alive... is harder than killing.

The strength of those twin sisters was indeed stronger than he had imagined.

He withdrew his gaze, looked at Lu Ming, and asked: "Since this Red Second is so capable, isn't the leader of the 'Six Demons of Yunling' even more powerful?"

Hearing this, the excitement on Lu Ming's face subsided slightly, replaced by a bitter smile.

He shook his head, and a rare solemnity appeared on his round face:

"Elder Jiang, the most mysterious one among the 'Six Demons of Yunling' is this leader; no one even knows if this person is a man or a woman, only that the big demon's name is 'Purple Leader'."

"Not only the families in the prefecture city, but even our Profound Heaven Sect knows very little about this big demon. Very mysterious."

Speaking of this, Lu Ming lowered his voice and whispered:

"There is a rumor that... an elder of Thick Earth Peak disappeared mysteriously during the process of investigating 'Purple Leader'. Neither seen alive nor dead, it is still an unsolved case in the sect."

"It's just that I don't know if we can pry some useful information from Red Second this time."

Hearing this, Jiang Ye's aged eyes became even stranger.

"'Purple Leader'..."

He chewed on the name and pondered secretly in his heart.

He originally thought that the "Six Demons of Yunling" were just a group of vicious bandits who relied on some martial power to do evil.

He didn't expect that such a character was hidden inside.

Moving earth on the territory of the Profound Heaven Sect and still being able to hide their identity and remain at large...

Lu Ming on the side seemed to have remembered something, changed the subject, and continued:

"By the way, Elder Jiang, another evil bandit has appeared in the prefecture city recently, named 'Head-Chopping Demon'."

He lowered his voice, and a bit of fear appeared on his face:

"This guy has committed two bloody cases in a row, and both were of the extermination type... The Ding family and the Sun family have both suffered. The scene, I heard, was very miserable."

He sighed, his tone full of emotion:

"The notoriety of this 'Head-Chopping Demon' is almost catching up with the 'Six Demons of Yunling'!"

He paused, and a flash of gossip light flashed in his eyes:

"I heard that the Sun family, which was exterminated by the 'Head-Chopping Demon' a few days ago, still has a daughter married to the Feng family alive. That girl is a famous beauty in the prefecture city; it is said that she has made a blood oath to avenge the blood feud in this life... Alas, it is really too miserable."

Lu Ming said, shaking his head with emotion, his face full of sighing.

"Oh? 'Head-Chopping Demon'... blood feud in this life..."

Jiang Ye shook his head calmly.

Afterwards, he sighed softly, and a look of compassion appeared on his aged face, saying leisurely:

"I only hope that the poor girl doesn't get herself involved..."

Lu Ming nodded repeatedly, echoing: "Who says it isn't! The world is really not peaceful, fortunately, our Profound Heaven Mountain is a pure land."

He felt more and more how correct his choice was to desperately join the Profound Heaven Sect.

In this world, without the protection of a large force, even martial artists at the Transformation of Force Realm could suffer disaster at any time.

After Lu Ming left, the herb garden returned to silence.

Jiang Ye sat back on the blue stone cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to nourish fire Qi.

The sunlight fell, plating a layer of faint golden halo around his body.

About an hour later.

A burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside the herb garden.

Jiang Ye slowly opened his eyes, and the red-gold light in his aged eyes flashed and disappeared.

He looked up and saw a young man dressed in the Tianyangfeng disciple uniform standing respectfully at the entrance of the herb garden. Seeing him open his eyes, he bowed slightly and said:

"Elder Jiang, the Liu Fengzhu invites you."

Hearing this, Jiang Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, and then stood up slowly.

The news of Red Second being captured alive had just spread, and the Liu Fengzhu was inviting him.

There might be some connection between the two.

He didn't ask much, just nodded slightly, and followed the messenger disciple, walking unhurriedly toward the peak of Tianyangfeng.

This was the second time Jiang Ye had stepped onto the peak of Tianyangfeng.

The air was still scorching hot, and the heat wave that seemed to be able to roast people rushed toward his face.

The huge black-gold tripod in the center was still burning fiercely, flames soaring into the sky, burning the surrounding air until it was slightly distorted.

What surprised Jiang Ye a bit was that besides him, the other several martial artists at the Embracing the Pill Realm of Tianyangfeng had already gathered here.

Qin Lie was still in his drunken state, leaning on a blue stone, holding a wine pot in his hand.

As soon as he saw Jiang Ye's figure, his flushed face was filled with hearty smiles, and he waved from afar: "Elder Brother Jiang is here!"

Wen Yueyao and Zheng Feng stood on both sides and turned their heads at the same time upon hearing the sound.

"Old Master Jiang!"

Wen Yueyao greeted him familiarly, with a hearty smile on her beautiful oval face, her eyebrows curved, as bright as ever.

Zheng Feng bowed slightly, his attitude polite and respectful:

"Elder Jiang!"

Beside them, there were also two elders of the Embracing the Pill Realm, Elder Li and Elder Wang.

After Jiang Ye wiped out the Black Wind Village, they had also visited him, so they could be considered to have met once.

Seeing Jiang Ye arrive at this moment, the two also nodded slightly in greeting.

Jiang Ye returned the salute one by one, then stood among the crowd, his gaze falling on the withered and thin figure on the ground.

It was none other than the Liu Fengzhu of Tianyangfeng, Luo Song.

Everyone had already arrived, and he was still sleeping soundly.

That thin body was curled up on the blue stone beside the black-gold tripod, breathing evenly, sleeping so sweetly.

The scorching heat waves hit him wave after wave, but he was completely unaware, occasionally smacking his lips, turning over, as if the scorching hot stone surface was the most comfortable bed in the world.

Seeing this scene, a look of helplessness flashed on everyone's faces.

No one spoke, and no one stepped forward to disturb him, clearly accustomed to this.

After a good while.

Luo Song finally woke up leisurely.

He yawned sleepily, then stood up slowly, scanned the crowd, nodded slightly, his voice hoarse and lazy:

"Since everyone is here, let's talk about serious business."

Hearing this, everyone immediately cheered up.

Luo Song twisted his stiff neck, his withered tree-bark-like face still carrying a bit of confusion from not waking up, but he went straight to the point when he spoke:

"Those two girls from Profound Water Peak are quite capable, they went down the mountain this time and caught a fat fish back..."

As he spoke, his eyes specifically scanned Wen Yueyao and Zheng Feng.

A look of shame appeared on both of their faces.

Wen Yueyao pursed her lips, and Zheng Feng lowered his head even more.

As True Transmission disciples, those two Hua sisters from Profound Water Peak were indeed much stronger than them.

Especially Zheng Feng, his fair and delicate face flushed red...

Being escaped by White Third in Anxi County had already become a stain he couldn't erase.

Luo Song yawned and continued: "That Red Second has a very hard mouth, but some information was still pried out by our people."

"Did he reveal the identity information of Purple Leader..."

Zheng Feng asked subconsciously.

The other few also pricked up their ears, their eyes burning.

For this "Purple Leader" with a mysterious identity, no one was not curious.

"No."

Luo Song shook his head, a trace of unpredictable smile flashed on his withered face, and then his voice raised a bit:

"However, the information pried out this time is more useful than the identity of 'Purple Leader'."

Hearing this, a look of curiosity appeared on everyone's faces.

What news could be more useful than the identity of "Purple Leader"?

A rare look of solemnity appeared on Luo Song's withered tree-bark-like face.

He put away his lazy appearance and said in a deep voice:

"According to the news pried out from Red Second, the reason why that demonic person of the Qisha Sect instigated them to incite refugees to occupy the county town..."

"It was to launch a blood sacrifice to find a relic of the previous dynasty!"

"Inside that relic, there is a secret treasure..."

As soon as these words came out, a look of horror flashed on everyone's faces.

The air seemed to have solidified a bit.

Jiang Ye's brows were furrowed even more.

The source of the chaos in Anxi County was actually for the Qisha Sect's demonic person to find a secret treasure?!

"Relic of the previous dynasty..."

"That must have been several hundred years ago!!!"

"What is the secret treasure..."

Everyone asked with unconcealable horror.

"What is the secret treasure... Red Second doesn't know either."

Luo Song shook his head slightly and explained:

"Because, the 'Six Demons of Yunling' were only nominally absorbed by the Qisha Sect; in reality, they cannot be considered people of the Qisha Sect."

He paused and changed the subject:

"However, it was not a complete loss."

"After several blood sacrifices, that demonic person of the Qisha Sect finally locked the location of the relic near Mount Tai'an. It's just that the specific location is not yet clear."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Mount Tai'an, that was already the border between Yunling Prefecture and Huangxin Prefecture.

The mountains are continuous and the area is extremely vast; let alone ordinary people, even martial artists like them at the Embracing the Pill Realm would easily lose their way inside.

To find a relic with an unknown specific location in such a place is no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

"Regardless of what the secret treasure is, a relic of the previous dynasty must contain many rare things."

Luo Song said in a deep voice with a solemn expression.

There is a consensus among martial artists that the general environment of heaven and earth is actually getting worse year by year.

Many spiritual objects of heaven and earth are gradually decreasing, becoming extremely rare, or even extinct.

For example, the foundation of the Profound Heaven Sect, the Profound Heaven Spirit Liquid, is actually something passed down from several hundred years ago.

If it weren't for the ancestors preserving it properly, it would definitely be gone now.

He looked up and scanned the crowd, saying in a deep voice:

"The Sect Master's meaning is that since this secret treasure of the previous dynasty is within our Yunling Prefecture, we cannot miss it."

He paused, his tone becoming heavier:

"Even if we really can't find it, it must never fall into the hands of the Qisha Sect's demonic person."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions tightened.

"Also, that Mount Tai'an is indeed too vast; relying only on these people in the inner sect, even if we search for a year, we might not have any gains. This time, a large number of outer disciples will be sent to participate in the search for the relic!"

Luo Song continued, his withered face rarely serious:

"To guard against the Qisha Sect's demonic person, each peak must send two martial artists at the Embracing the Pill Realm to sit in Mount Tai'an. On one hand, to protect those outer disciples, and on the other hand, to be responsible for searching for clues to the relic."

"Of course, we won't let you go for nothing; you will be rewarded with twenty thousand contribution points upon return."

"Whoever wants to go, please recommend yourself."

As he spoke, his gaze slowly scanned the few people present.

"Liu Fengzhu! I am willing to go!"

Wen Yueyao was the first to speak, her bright beautiful eyes full of eager light.

Luo Song shook his head slightly, "Adding one sentence, except for you."

The light on Wen Yueyao's face solidified instantly, and she widened her eyes in disbelief, "Why?!"

Luo Song said calmly: "You are too weak, settle down a bit more."

"Ah..."

Wen Yueyao bit her watery red lips, unable to refute for a while.

Although she was gifted, she had just stepped into the Embracing the Pill Realm not long ago, and her strength and realm were indeed the lowest among the people present.

She remembered fighting Jiang Ye not long ago, and as a result, she showed signs of defeat in one move...

She lowered her head and stopped arguing.

"Liu Fengzhu! I am willing to go!"

Zheng Feng stood out with a solemn expression, his delicate and handsome face full of seriousness.

He stepped forward, his gaze firm.

Luo Song glanced at him and nodded slightly: "Okay, you count as one; don't let the martial artist at the Transformation of Force Realm run away this time."

Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Zheng Feng's face, and he then bowed solemnly:

"Liu Fengzhu, rest assured, if I encounter that White Third again, I will never let him escape!"

Afterwards, Luo Song's gaze scanned the other four people, "No one is recommending themselves, right."

Elder Li and Elder Wang subconsciously shrank their heads, their gazes drifting elsewhere, as if studying the patterns on the black-gold tripod.

As for Qin Lie, this drunkard was still in his drunken state, squinting his eyes, muttering something in his mouth, not looking this way at all.

Only Jiang Ye, his expression as calm as water, unable to tell what he was thinking.

Luo Song's gaze stayed on him for a moment, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

He spoke slowly: "Little Jiang, trouble you to make a trip!"

A strange look flashed in Jiang Ye's aged eyes, and then he walked forward slowly, saying in a deep voice: "Yes! Liu Fengzhu!" ===== CHAPTER 95 =====
