Su Ziang led the people towards the big cave.

The smoke gradually dissipated.

I saw nothing in the big cave, no sign of anyone, only some gravel left.

Su Ziang's expression changed suddenly. He waved his right hand and moved the pillar to the side. He looked around carefully and found that he didn't see the person just now.

"He actually ran away?"

"Master, I will send someone to chase you right now."

"No need. If I hit you like this, you'll be crippled even if you don't die. I'll forget about running away. What's important now is how to collect another offering for the sacrifice today." Su Ziang looked at the white-robed man with fierce eyes, wishing he could stop.

Beat him up.

"Yes, I will go and do it now." The man in white robe smiled sarcastically and called others to find new offerings.

It is quite troublesome for them to find the right ghost within one day.

Su Ziang stood there, looking thoughtful, and murmured: "Who could it be?"

…

In a nearby alley, Su Qin fell to the ground, clutching his chest, with blood still flowing from the corner of his mouth.

The person found in the square was indeed Su Qin, and he was also hit and injured by Su Ziang.

"Fortunately, I escaped the fatal blow and only got a scratch, otherwise it would have been over." Su Qin thought to himself.

In addition, standing in front of Su Qin was a childish young boy who looked like he had just turned eighteen.

Looking at the boy in front of him, Su Qin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up supporting the wall.

"Who are you? Why did you show up there to save me?"

He didn't wait for the boy's answer. Instead, he grabbed his collar and pressed it hard against the wall. "If you hadn't suddenly appeared and alerted the snake, we would have destroyed the sacrifice today."

After saying that, he was about to punch Su Qin.

Su Qin dodged his fist and punched the wall. "What?" Su Qin pushed the boy away and asked doubtfully.

The boy pulled his hair in frustration, took a deep breath, seemed to calm down, and said, "Originally, we were ready to destroy the sacrifice when they started to perform the sacrifice, rescue those ghosts, and prevent the sacrifice from succeeding."

"It's fine now, you ruined it." The man seemed a little broken and sat down on the ground.

"You guys? What's going on?"

"It's a long story. We have been tracking this organization that studies ghosts for a long time. We recently found some clues and discussed it with the people of the sect. Today, we will take advantage of their sacrificial activities on the 18th to eradicate it in one fell swoop."

"Then you are no good. You have achieved nothing for so long, and yet you have allowed this organization to grow so big." Su Qin said unconvinced.

"Over the years, many of my fellow disciples have died or been injured. In addition, the sect has no source of money and most of them have left. There are only two or three kittens left. It has become increasingly difficult." Su was surprised.

To Qin's surprise, the man did not retort, but sighed and punched the ground.

"Where are the rest of you? Take me there."

"what?"

"Since I ruined your plan, I have the responsibility to help you save it. What's more, the men in white robes definitely didn't expect that we would return to the square again, and by surprise, we might succeed."

"You..." The man looked at Su Qin with some suspicion. He didn't quite believe in Su Qin yet. After all, he was the one who disrupted their overall plan.

"Lead the way." Su Qin didn't say much, he just wanted to prove himself with actions.

Although he did not know about their actions in advance and it was an unintentional mistake, it was indeed his fault that caused their plan to fail, and he had to help them regardless of emotion or reason.

Besides, I originally planned to save other ghosts, but I didn't have enough strength at the time. Now that I have someone to help me, I might be able to succeed.

A smile filled the boy's face again, and he stretched out his hand to Su Qin, "My name is Ye Qing, what's yours?"

"Su Qin, let's go quickly."

Ye Qing led Su Qin through several alleys and intersections, and finally arrived at a shabby-looking hotel.

Su Qin nodded. He looked very professional. The place he chose was so hidden. There must be another world inside.

But what Su Qin didn't see was the embarrassment on Ye Qing's face.

Walking on the dilapidated wooden stairs, there is a creaking sound, which makes you wonder if you will fall down in the next second.

The surrounding walls were covered with unknown plants, and there was moss in the corners of the corridor. Su Qin even saw a few fat mice standing in the corridor, their eyes rolling, as if they were not afraid of people at all.

Ye Qing took the lead and pushed open the door, and the smell of rotting wood hit his face.

Entering the hotel room, you will be greeted by food scraps, instant noodle buckets and household garbage all over the floor, emitting a stench that attracts flies hovering above.

Ye Qing smiled awkwardly, walked quickly to the window, and opened it for ventilation.

"Master, where are you? Didn't we make an appointment to go underground today?"

When he didn't get a response, Ye Qing walked to the room inside.

Su Qin suddenly felt a bad premonition. Is there really any sect in this place? Could it be a mistake? Hello.

Oh my God! This looks like a hotel where a bachelor stays for a long time.

Su Qin endured the stench and followed Ye Qing in.

I saw two men hugging each other and falling on the bed, with beer bottles in their hands.

There were scattered beer cans everywhere on the ground, and it looked like he had drank a lot.

The whole room smelled of alcohol.

Ye Qing seemed a little impatient and shouted loudly: "Master, senior brother, get up soon. Why are you drinking again!"

Then he stepped forward and separated the two of them, shaking them desperately in an attempt to wake them up.

Su Qin looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but shake his head. He was so naive that he believed Ye Qing's words casually.

but...

The big hole in the square before...

Su Qin recalled the situation at that time. When he was escaping to the exit, Su Ziang had already come down from the entrance, and Su Qin had to hide aside.

When he reached the square, Su Qin left and climbed up, preparing to leave.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt a strong force that pushed him down from the entrance. He fell from a high altitude and hit the ground. At that time, the effect of the invisibility charm disappeared.

Fortunately, Su Qin used magic power to protect his whole body. It was only an external injury and no internal organs were injured.

Unexpectedly, Su Ziang manipulated the pillar to hit him without saying a word.

With pain all over his body, he only had time to roll towards a lazy donkey next to him, and barely escaped the attack in the middle. However, he was also brushed aside by the pillar, and a strong force came from him, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

For a moment, he was unable to move, and the smoke and dust filled the air. Su Qin was just thinking about how to escape.

Suddenly he felt someone holding his hand, pulling him up and rushing up. Su Qin felt a tingling sensation coming from him, and in the blink of an eye, he was already outside.

Before he could recover, he was pulled away from the place and into a small alley, where he was thrown to the ground.

Only then did he realize that he was already safe, and it only took a few seconds.

Then there is the scene in the alley at the beginning.

Su Qin was interrupted by the man's exclamation. When he came back to his senses, he saw a scene that stunned him.

Ye Qing was standing between the two men. One of them was pulling the hair of the other with his right hand, and the fingers of the other left hand were poking into the nostril of the other.

Both sides continued to curse: "I told you not to drink so much, but you didn't listen." A man who looked about the same age as Su Qin poked the older man's nostril.

"It's up to me. If you don't want to compete with me, how can I drink?" the old man retorted.

"What? Are you competing with me? Why don't you compete with me if you haven't lost to me every time?"

"Fuck you, you little bastard, you dare to challenge the master, don't you?"

"What kind of master do you think you are..."

"That's enough! Isn't that embarrassing enough?" Ye Qing suddenly roared, and yelled at the two of them with some collapse, "What are you doing! If you don't want to act, don't plan, don't tell me so much, teach me so much

Many spells.”

"This..." The two of them were silent for a while.

"Ye Qing, it's not that we don't want to go. The three of us are the only ones left in Xuanzong. We are enough to do anything."

"After so many years of chasing clues and so much effort, could it be that it's all in vain?"

"Then are all my goals for so many years false? The so-called decency, the so-called demon slaying, are all lies to me? Right?" Ye Qing asked rhetorical questions one after another, pressing the young man to question.

"Of course not. From a long-term perspective, we can't let Xuanzong end the inheritance right now." The young man said cautiously, while winking at the older man, indicating that he could speak to Ye Qing to persuade him.

The old man understood it and said, "Qing'er, it's not that we don't want to go when the time comes, it's that the other party is too powerful. We have to take advantage of it slowly. As long as there is a good opportunity, I will definitely be the first to go."

"Like before, we only made a preliminary plan, like the escape route, how to rescue? We haven't discussed details like this yet, don't you think so?"

Ye Qing laughed a few times, feeling a little frustrated, "I know, you guys have been lying to me from beginning to end."

Slowly squatting down, he kept repeating: Lie to me.

"Who is this?" The old man asked as if he had just noticed Su Qin.
