Jinhua River north of Shushan Mountain.

The wind by the river blows wildly and hard.

Under the melting moonlight, a strange black wine jar suddenly emerged from the river, floated along the river for a distance and finally stopped, hanging there, floating up and down, releasing a somewhat cold atmosphere.

After a while, an unconscious remnant soul was attracted and approached the mouth of the altar. A black ghost hand immediately stretched out from the jar and pulled the remnant soul in.

Then there was a chewing vibration.

Follow the place where the jar came from and explore along the Jinhua River, and you will come to a very hidden water cave under the water. If you enter the water cave and walk through a long and narrow water channel, you will come to a dark and unpredictable place.

In the strange area, there will be a mysterious force that prevents all living creatures from approaching.

Whenever an aquarium comes into contact with this black area, it will disappear instantly and then appear in a corner upstream of the river.

And this magical black hole goes inwards...

It's an underwater cave.

The cave is covered with gold and silver talismans, as if it were a cage to seal monsters. The only resident in this underwater cave is an old man with unkempt hair and shabby clothes.

His messy hair and beard almost covered his face, and only a pair of dark, starry eyes could be seen, still burning with the flame of survival.

Like a crazy and cold-blooded trapped beast.

"Hoo..."

The old man let out a long breath, held an empty wine jar in his left hand and placed it on the ground. Then he made a knife with his fingers and slashed his scarred right hand.

laugh--

A few drops of blood flowed out with difficulty from the almost dry blood veins. When it fell into the jar, it immediately turned into a black derivative, giving off a cold aura. The pain made him clench his teeth.

There seemed to be some kind of life stirring in it, and the jar shook slightly. The old man pushed the wine jar along the black hole in the wall, and bang——

Ripples flickered in the black hole, and the wine jar was sent out.

The old man lay down on the ground contentedly, his head dripping with sweat.

Another soul-killing altar was sent out.

The old man's name is Xuanyinzi, and he was once a powerful figure in the Demon Sect. Among the countless titles he once held, the most glorious one should be the Master of the Pluto Sect.

Yes, he once took charge of the Pluto Sect, the largest sect of the Demon Sect, and is the well-deserved number one person in the Demon Sect.

The end of his glorious first half of life probably started when he accepted a taciturn disciple.

That boy...

Thinking of him, Xuanyinzi still gritted his teeth.

I taught him magical powers and skills and asked him to be my minion, but I didn't expect that he had hidden evil intentions and secretly gained control of Ksitigarbha's true body by some unknown means. Later, with the power of Ksitigarbha's true body, he took away the control from himself.

Xuanming Dao became a new generation of Xuanming Dao Master.

He naturally became the new leader of Pluto.

However, Xuanyinzi's cultivation level miserably fell to the seventh and a half level, and he was exiled by his disciples. He was not allowed to return to the Pluto Sect in this life.

Xuanyinzi was not discouraged.

He wants to regain everything he has, but his strength of seven and a half realms is not enough. He must return to the top... or even surpass it!

So he aimed at the legendary Senzo.

But in the process of fighting for the Immortal Treasure Map, that person wanted to seal him here even at the cost of his life.

Except for the talismans, the walls of the cave are all horizontal bars drawn by Xuan Yinzi. There is no sun and moon here, they are all the days he drew based on his own movement in the sky.

There are tens of thousands of them.

Thanks to the fact that he used to be a good drinker and loved to drink that weird soul wine, there were a mountain of wine jars stored in the storage artifact.

That's the material for the altar of soul-slaying sacrifices.

After these decades and all his efforts... he finally tore a hole in the seal. Although it was not enough for him to escape, he was able to send out the soul-killing altar where he had overdrawn his blood and essence for sacrifice.

"The life of a seventh-level powerful person is worth a few decades of my time..." Xuanyinzi murmured, "But that's all."

As long as the Soul-Slaying Altar goes out to capture the remaining souls, it will soon accumulate enough strength and then come back. As long as he can restore his strength to 80% of his own through numerous Soul-Slaying Altars...

Then it won't be difficult to follow this opening and break through!

The person who sealed him couldn't escape very far. He probably died nearby. After he got out, he could easily find the Immortal Treasure Map.

Now he only needs to send out as many soul-killing altars as possible, and then wait for the altars that have accumulated enough strength to come back one by one, and then return to the top!

His true energy has long since dried up, his energy is withered, and the only power he can use is the little spirituality in his blood. He can use this meager spirituality to create about ten soul-killing altars every day.

This was already his limit, he wished he could sacrifice a hundred of them in one day!

But any more would be tantamount to suicide.

Even if only three of them can come back with enough power in a day, he can get out of trouble in less than a year!

I, Xuan Yinzi, swear.

After I go out, I will definitely take back what I lost with my own hands!

…

"When will you come back?" Wen Yulong asked eagerly.

"Not necessarily." Chu Liang replied, "It depends on the situation."

He is now going to do a mission from the Demon Sect. Who can say for sure about this kind of thing? There will always be unknown risks. He may never come back, or he may come back tomorrow.

"Now the Shushan disciples who have drawn the Incense of Enlightenment are very anxious and are waiting for you to deliver the goods." Wen Yulong urged.

A few days ago, Chu Liang took advantage of the heat of the scandal with Senior Sister Jiang to promote Wudaoxiang's name within Shushan, and it became very popular for a while.

Especially the slogan he put out.

As long as there is the fragrance of enlightenment, everyone will be an immortal spirit!

Berries and fragrance, long life!

But although there were many people who wanted to buy, Chu Liang didn't have so many goods at the same time. He had worked very hard to go to the Jinhua River every night, but only ten wine jar monsters could grow ten drunken spirit flowers in a day.

, took off forty or fifty drunken spirit flowers and leaves, and refined less than five hundred enlightenment incense sticks.

It will take a long time to wait for the next issue of Drunken Spirit Flower to bloom, because the herbal elixir powder cannot be used infinitely.

Although five hundred sticks of enlightenment incense may sound like a lot, it is impossible to buy just one stick at a time. At least ten sticks will have a substantial effect on your cultivation.

This was already Chu Liang's limit. He wished he could kill a hundred of them in one day!

But there will be no more.

So Chu Liang simply launched a reservation event. All the disciples in Shu Mountain can reserve the incense of enlightenment, and they will randomly draw from it. The person who draws can have the purchase quota of fifty incense.

As a result, the entire Shu Mountain is waiting anxiously.

Those who couldn't get the goods are waiting for the next draw, those who got the goods are waiting for the delivery, and those who have received the goods will use them up quickly and want to buy more.

This heat even somewhat covered up the scandal between Chu Liang and Senior Sister Jiang. Everyone had forgotten where the Enlightenment Incense came from and just wanted to try it out.

Help people realize enlightenment!

Is there any stronger temptation than this for a practitioner?

There are too few treasures with this kind of effect in the world, and this is the first time that everyone has encountered an existence that can be touched.

Although the previous berries were equally popular, everyone still had a "fun" mentality, but the Wu Daoxiang was absolutely "useful", so the attitude was even more different.

But Chu Liang was also very helpless.

He can't be broken in half, and even if he practices external incarnation, he can't move thousands of miles away. The wine altar monster here can only be rewarded with drunken spirit flower seeds by killing it with his own hands. The undercover status of the Bone Palace over there is hard-won, so naturally

Don't give up easily.

On this day, nearly ten geniuses from various sects came to Silver Sword Peak one after another.

This is the meeting place they had agreed upon before. Before going to see Ghost Face, they would come to Shushan to meet up.

Needless to say, Monk Pushan and Luo Yao, these two are the veterans who formed the core undercover team with Chu Liang, and are also quite familiar with Silver Sword Peak in Shushan Mountain.

It's just that every time they come to Silver Sword Peak, they will find something slightly different, and they are quite amazed by this. This period is still the off-season of Berry Paradise. If they had seen it before, I believe they would be even more shocked.

Then came Zhuge Guanxing from the Misty Hidden Fairy Mountain. This handsome young man smiled and narrowed his eyes, looking quite shrewd.

He briefly passed over Yinjian Peak and said with a smile: "I've heard that there is a berry garden in Shushan, but I didn't expect it to be so big. Oh? The golden haired dragon in the sixth realm is very powerful. That's Senior Emperor Nv Feng

His residence? Let’s walk around.”

Ji Lingyu came with the four core disciples of the Tiangang Sect. This child who ran away from home was actually a little homesick, but her family had not come to her for a long time. It was very shameful for her to go back by herself, so she was in a stalemate.

here.

Several disciples from the Tiangang Sect came together, and there was no barrier between them. Although the chief trial has now reached the most critical moment, and they are about to face the most brutal competition, their friendship is still strong.

They all have great respect for the elder brother Ren Hongdao, great care for the younger junior sister Tang Shi, great trust in Yun Chaoxian, a man of both wisdom and courage, and great envy of Li Fajian's second uncle.

Chu Liang was not surprised by this.

As we all know, Tiangang people share the same brain.

There will naturally be no problems with unity.

Zhang Chen did not come.

"Brother Zhang asked me to apologize to everyone." Ren Hongdao said, "The academy has temporarily assigned him an important task, and he cannot come to participate in this operation."

Chu Liang felt a little regretful. The chief of Shenglong Academy left a deep impression on Chu Liang. He had always vaguely felt that Zhang Chen should be the strongest among them all.

Even if he is not the most capable, he is definitely the most reliable.

"It doesn't matter, since there are so many of us, we probably won't care if we have one less grimace." Chu Liang still said.
