Chapter 42: Shocking Secret: There is a Demon Cave Beneath the Kulu Zong!

Lu Tianyu was pleasantly surprised: "Then I shall see what evil deeds this Ancestor Heigu committed in his lifetime."

"Entered the Moyuan at ten, obtained the Vajra Divine Bone by a stroke of luck, and after ten years of refining, his cultivation realm advanced by leaps and bounds."

"Slaughtered three thousand mortals to avenge his clan, joined the Kulu Zong, laid siege to cities, slaughtered ten thousand people to earn merit, was promoted to a personal disciple, and led the sect to rise..."

Lu Tianyu read the memories of Ancestor Heigu bit by bit and discovered that this person had spent his entire life in slaughter.

If he didn't kill someone for a day, his hands would itch; whenever he saw someone he didn't like, he would kill them on the spot, seize their treasures, and study how to refine them into various Corpse Puppets.

Half of the Corpse Puppets in the Kulu Zong's repository were refined from people he had killed; the smallest Corpse Puppet was only a few years old, while the oldest was several thousand years old.

The Kulu Zong's stealth techniques were created by him, including the Corpse Puppet technique, Bone Refining technique, and so on.

Ancestor Heigu liked to use stealth to ambush other cultivators and roamed everywhere to kill.

Those killed by him often didn't even have time to react before being ambushed, and most died without knowing why.

"So that's how it is!"

Cold light flickered in Lu Tianyu's eyes: "People often go missing in the Bahuang Star Domain without a trace; it turns out it was all the work of this Ancestor Heigu."

"A hundred years ago, when disciples of the Donghuang Star were undergoing trials in the Dark Secret Forest, over a hundred youths had their heads severed, and the culprit could not be found, causing a generational gap for the next hundred years; it turns out it was done by Ancestor Heigu."

"Eighty youths from Bahuang joined forces to go deep into the Manghuang Forest for trials, and in the end, they all disappeared; when they were found, their flesh and blood had been stripped away, leaving only skeletons; this was also his doing."

"The dwindling population of the Bahuang Star Domain is absolutely related to Ancestor Heigu; this person deserves to die!"

Ancestor Heigu rarely took the initiative to hunt for treasures in his life; the treasures he obtained were almost all acquired through killing.

Lu Tianyu discovered that the place Ancestor Heigu went to most often to hunt for treasures was actually the Forbidden Abyss.

"Went one hundred and fifty miles deep into the Forbidden Abyss of the Bahuang Star Domain and obtained a treasure; went one hundred and eighty miles deep and obtained an ancient treasure!"

"The Forbidden Abyss not only contains treasures left behind by explorers who died there, but also some ancient treasures, most of which have been eroded and decomposed by the Nirvana Wind."

"There must be a great secret in the Forbidden Abyss; the Bahuang Star Domain must be kept in the hands of the Kulu Zong!"

Just as he was about to finish reading, Lu Tianyu's pupils shrank sharply as he suddenly discovered a shocking secret:

"There is actually a Demon Cave beneath the Kulu Zong, inside which many treasures are sealed; they can be obtained bit by bit to strengthen the Kulu Zong."

"No wonder the Kulu Zong rose so quickly; more than half the reason is due to the benefits from the Demon Cave."

"No wonder the Kulu Zong is so eager to invade Bahuang Star; they want to expand their territory and gain a foothold, as the seal of the Demon Cave is becoming increasingly unstable; once it erupts, the entire Kulu Zong will be demonized."

"What a Kulu Zong!"

"If I have the chance to sneak inside and trigger an eruption of the Demon Cave..."

Cold light flickered in Lu Tianyu's eyes: "Ming Tianqi's ambush on me was not accidental, but deliberate, to weaken the Donghuang forces and cause turmoil!"

"Since you act this way, let us see who perishes first!"

"I must raise my Body Refining realm to the Great Perfection of the Vein Condensation realm as soon as possible, cultivate the Five Dragon Divine Fist to completion, and unseal the seal on my dantian."

"I also need to go to Diling City to find the Ancestor."

"Bahuang Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, devour the soul of Ancestor Heigu for me!"

"Refine!"

At the same time.

In the meeting hall of the Ouyang Clan in Beihuang, everyone was full of joy.

"Hahaha!" Ouyang Tiandu, sitting in the main seat, laughed incessantly, and only stopped after laughing for half a quarter of an hour.

"My Ouyang Clan has never made a wrong choice, and this time is no exception."

"Ancestor Bahuang sent me a message that the Bahuang Demon-Suppressing Array can continue to operate for one year, so we will be safe for a year."

Ouyang Zong smiled and stroked his chin: "Ancestor Bahuang is finally reliable for once; he actually activated the Bahuang Demon-Suppressing Array."

However, he then frowned slightly: "One year is a very short time; what about after one year?"

"Our cultivation resources are almost exhausted, and we cannot improve our strength; how are we to cope?"

"The Kulu Zong suffered a big loss and certainly won't let it go; they might use other means to break the array within the year."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became oppressive.

The facts were indeed so.

The Bahuang Demon-Suppressing Array has strong defenses, but it is not indestructible.

If the Nether Three Sects spare no cost to hire experts to break the array, there is a high probability they will break the Bahuang Demon-Suppressing Array.

By then, the Bahuang Star Domain will still be slaughtered by the Kulu Zong.

Ouyang Batian stepped forward: "We must find a way within the year."

"The Changheng Academy opens in half a year; if anyone from our Bahuang can win a top-ten spot, we can obtain the protection of the Changheng Academy."

"At the very least, the Kulu Zong would not dare to openly make a move against our Bahuang Star Domain; I have high hopes for Lu Tianyu!"

His gaze was burning.

Ouyang Tiandu and Ouyang Zong also nodded: "This child can even break the Tianqi Eye; he has a good chance of entering the top ten."

"There are three hundred large and small star domains within the Changheng Star Domain, and monstrous geniuses emerge in large numbers; it is very difficult."

"Don't think about that anymore; Batian, bring good gifts, we are going to the Donghuang Clan!"

Ouyang Batian was slightly stunned: "Why?"

"We have already handed over our clan's resources, and we still have to bring gifts to visit?"

"Ancestor Changmei did not advance to the Cave Void realm; we don't need to do this, do we?"

He was very puzzled.

"You don't understand this!" Ouyang Tiandu stroked his beard, "When you three heroes lost to Lu Tianyu, it was agreed that you would pay a visit, but you didn't go."

"Although this matter was delayed due to the Kulu Zong's invasion, it must be made up for; this is an order from Ancestor Bahuang."

Ouyang Zong also added with a smile: "Besides, Ancestor Bahuang protects Lu Tianyu so much."

"For his sake, he didn't hesitate to kill the Xuanming Elders and go to war with the Kulu Zong; we can't find Ancestor Bahuang, shouldn't we go to Lu Tianyu to show goodwill?"

"Batian, there are some worldly ways you still need to learn slowly."

Ouyang Batian was immediately convinced: "It was my lack of consideration!"

The Ouyang Clan wanted to bring gifts to pay a visit, and other clans in the Bahuang had the same idea, one after another selecting gifts in preparation to visit.

This included the Li Clan of Nanhuang, who had defected to the Kulu Zong.

Li Tiancheng brought all the members of the Li Clan, along with gifts, and knelt at the entrance of the Lu family home to beg for forgiveness.

It was just that Lu Jiuyuan said he could not make the decision himself, and everything would have to wait until Lu Tianyu returned.

Li Tiancheng was helpless and had no choice but to continue kneeling.

He knew that Lu Tianyu would decide the life or death of the Li Clan members, so he had to show sufficient sincerity.

And at this moment.

Dark Star Territory, Kulu Zong main hall.

The atmosphere was suppressed to the extreme, a deathly silence!

Kulu Zong cultivators wearing black robes, with faces like the dead, stood filling the main hall.

Ming Lengye also stood with his head bowed below the main seat, not saying a word.

On the main seat.

An old man with short hair in a black robe, exuding a cold aura, swept his sinister gaze across the entire hall:

"In one battle, half of the Kulu Zong elite were lost, the Yibai Lingba Kulu Jiang are missing, and the Sixth Elder is severely injured!"
