The game begins

Jade Tianjun was like the most patient hunter, hanging far behind the few remnants of the Scarlet Holy Cult moving from the direction of the Sun and Moon Imperial City.

They moved very cautiously, divided into three groups, disguised as different caravans or travelers, and the routes they chose were mostly remote trails, obviously to avoid possible tracking.

Through divine perception, Yu Tianjun judged that among the three groups of people, the strongest group had two Contra-level auras, the other two groups each had a Contra leader, and the rest were all Soul Kings to Soul Saints.

At first, Yu Tianjun killed Agares’ core, but there was still a lot of external power.

Yu Tianjun was originally curious about where this power was and how it could escape his golden dragon eyes.

Now it seems that these evil soul masters were converted into soul power, so they were not discovered by Yu Tianjun.

They all have obvious soul guidance energy fluctuations on their bodies, and there is a faint bloody evil spirit. They are obviously the product of the combination of the Scarlet Holy Cult and the Sun and Moon Continent's soul guidance technology.

"It seems that their roots in the Sun and Moon Continent are deeper than expected. These combat-type soul tools are not so easy to obtain."

Jade Tianjun thought to himself that although the development of soul guidance devices in the Sun and Moon Continent was relatively good, combat-type soul guidance devices were not as common as in later generations.

"That border noble family is probably just the tip of the iceberg."

Return to list--------------------xxxx--------------------

He did not alert the enemy, but followed him from a distance, while at the same time dedicating part of his mind to studying the letters and account books seized from the previous stronghold.

In addition to mentioning the transaction of "blood-patterned steel" (a special metal mixed with blood ore) with the border noble named "Horn", it was mentioned.

It also vaguely mentioned words such as "Sanctuary" and "Return to Origin Project", as well as a liaison codenamed "Dark Moon".

"Sanctuary...return to the source..."

Jade Tianjun chewed on these two words, thinking of the Scarlet Holy Cult's teachings of worshiping the abyss and longing to "purify" the world, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

These remnants may have gathered at the border not just for trading or hiding.

Is it to resurrect Agares?

But Agares’ core has been destroyed by him.

This is equivalent to human beings losing their internal organs and leaving only skin and flesh.

How is it possible to be resurrected?

The tracking lasted for five days.

The three groups of people finally met in a desolate area called the "Ashe Mountains" on the northwest border of the Sun and Moon Empire.

This place is inaccessible. The mountains are a strange gray-black color, the vegetation is sparse, and the air is filled with a faint smell of sulfur. It is said that there are active small volcanoes and rich minerals underground. However, because of this harsh environment, few ordinary people settle here.

The meeting point is the entrance to an abandoned ancient mine. It is cleverly disguised and looks no different from the surrounding mountains from the outside.

If it weren't for the Jade Heavenly Lord's divine consciousness, it would be extremely difficult to discover.

Nearly forty evil soul masters gathered in a relatively open natural cave deep in the mine.

In the center of the cave, there is a stone platform that is obviously manually excavated and carved with complex blood-colored patterns. There are some soul guidance device components and crystals that exude an ominous atmosphere scattered around the stone platform.

The leaders were the two Contras with the strongest auras.

There was a tall man, wearing leather armor inlaid with dark red metal pieces, and half a ferocious metal mask on his face. His exposed eyes were dark red, and he was playing with a soul-guiding ray gun with a strange shape and a thick barrel in his hand.

The other person was thinner, wearing a hooded dark purple robe, holding a staff-like soul guide with a dark gem inlaid on the top in his hand, and his aura was colder and more obscure.

Jade Tianjun narrowed his eyes. It has only been a year since he came here, and the soul guidance devices of the Sun and Moon Continent have developed to this extent.

"Everyone is here."

The tall Contra's voice was hoarse.

"Lord Dark Moon has sent an order to advance the plan. The initial activation of the 'Sanctuary' must be completed within one month in order to attract the power of 'Return to the Source'."

"In advance?"

Slender Contra frowned.

"The materials are still 30% short, especially the high-quality blood soul crystals and living sacrifices..."

"If you don't have enough materials, just use existing ones to replace them, live sacrifices... aren't there a few obscure mining villages around here?"

The tall Contra laughed ferociously.

"Lord Dark Moon said that the opportunity is fleeting. There is definite news from the Douluo Continent. The Yutian Lord Douluo Yutian has left the continent and his whereabouts are unknown. He is probably coming for us. We must complete the preliminary activation before he finds this place and obtain the protection of the abyss!"

"Jade Heaven Lord..."

At the mention of this name, the temperature in the cave seemed to drop a few degrees, and many evil soul masters showed fear in their eyes.

The disastrous defeat in the Battle of the Far North and the recent uprooting of the Douluo Continent stronghold had already reached their ears.

"What are you afraid of!"

The tall Contra said sharply.

"This is the Sun and Moon Continent, not his territory! As long as we successfully activate the sanctuary and draw in the breath of the abyss, we will be the masters of this area. Even if he really becomes a god, we must make sure that he never comes back!"

His words were inflammatory, causing some evil soul masters to reignite their fanaticism.

Slender Contra was silent for a moment and nodded.

"In that case, let's proceed as planned. The last batch of blood-patterned steel and soul-guiding energy cores promised by the Horn family will be transported to the designated location in three days. We will start tonight to capture the sacrifices, and at the same time, start to arrange the core array of the sanctuary."

"Okay!"

The tall Contra waved his hand.

"Each team will act according to the planned plan! Remember, the action must be fast and clean, and it must not attract the attention of the Sun and Moon Empire officials!"

The evil soul masters agreed in unison and began to prepare separately.

Yu Tianjun, who was hiding in the dark, heard their conversation clearly.

"Sanctuary...the power of returning to the source...receiving the breath of the abyss..."

His eyes were cold.

"It turned out that I wanted to open a stable portal here and build a permanent abyss stronghold. I also wanted to capture living people as sacrifices!"

He originally planned to wait until they all entered the depths of the mine before taking action, but now it seemed that they must be prevented from arresting innocent villagers.

Jade Tianjun quietly exited the mine, his consciousness spread like mercury pouring down the ground, and he quickly found the locations of several small mining villages mentioned by the evil soul masters.

The nearest one is about thirty miles away from the mine.

His figure flashed and turned into a blur of light, speeding towards the village.

The speed is far beyond that of ordinary titled Douluo.

When he arrived near the village, it was almost dusk.

The village is not big, with only a few dozen households. It is built against the mountain and looks dilapidated and peaceful.

The villagers had just finished a day's work, and smoke was rising from the kitchen.

Yu Tianjun did not alarm the villagers, but concentrated his spiritual consciousness outside the village.around.

Soon, he sensed five hidden figures with a bloody aura, quietly approaching the village from different directions.

They are all at Soul King level, move quickly, and cooperate tacitly. They are obviously used to doing this kind of thing.

"I'll let you do the surgery first."
