This figure, whose whole body is hidden in a black robe, is an old man with a very withered face.
I saw that after it appeared, it first dropped slightly in height.
One by one, they floated over the strange things that looked like silkworm cocoons, and took a close look at them.
Then he flashed and teleported to the center of the cave, on top of the altar that slightly protruded from the ground.
I saw the old man in black robe stretched out his right hand and gently moved the sleeve of his robe.
His right hand, which had dark skin and was shaped like an eagle's claw, reached out to grab the void beside him.
And following the movements of the black-robed old man, a bright bloody light suddenly appeared in the empty void next to him.
Under the slight effort of the black-robed old man, this bright bloody light vibrated gently and gradually expanded.
In less than three breaths, the latter turned into a huge energy light group with a diameter of several feet and a blood-rich surface, and was completely dragged out of the void by the black-robed old man.
Although the appearance of this blood-colored energy light group looks a bit illusory.
But in the process of being captured by the old man in black robe just now, it behaved like an extremely elastic fluid.
After being captured by the old man in black robe, he was still suspended in mid-air.
But its surface began to tremble rapidly back and forth, and it took a while before it gradually returned to calm.
And with the appearance of this bloody light group, in the center of the altar below it, the core of the bloody lines spreading outward——
A spherical crystal about the size of a foot, with a dim crimson halo lingering on its surface, seemed to have received some strong stimulation at this time.
The brightness of its surroundings instantly increased several times.
Within it, waves of illusory rumbling vibrations were faintly heard.
Along with its surroundings, the pulsating red halo spread outwards and continued to spread toward the surrounding space.
The old man in black robe seemed to have expected the abnormal shape of this spherical crystal at this time.
There was no change in his expression at all on his face that was as dry as tree bark.
I saw him stretching out his two arms, condensing a series of magic seals skillfully and quickly, while silently reciting some obscure incantation in his mouth quickly.
And following the movements of the black-robed old man, after a brief pause, an astonishing scene appeared!
He saw the ball of blood-colored light that was captured by his right hand and had returned to silence.
Its originally round and abnormal body now seemed to be alive, twisting and squirming violently.
At the same time, on its originally flat surface, vaguely visible and ferocious human faces could be seen.
The latter continued to squirm with the blood-colored light group, and struggled to emerge on its surface.
Moreover, in the mouths of these ferocious faces, there were intermittently indistinct curses and wailing sounds from time to time.
But this squirming blood-colored light group, although it looks extremely illusory, seems to be extremely resilient.
Although it was twisting and squirming violently at the moment, it showed no signs of collapse.
No matter how hard those blurry faces struggled and howled, they could not break free from the shackles of this bloody light group.
After a few breaths, I just listened to the magic formula in the hands of the old man in black robe.
From his mouth, he simultaneously let out an excited scream.
Almost instantly, the surface of this bloody light group shook violently.
Both the distorted and blurred figures and the various screams coming from their mouths have all disappeared.
Instead, there was a bloody torrent nearly a foot wide, containing majestic energy within.
The latter hangs from the bottom of this blood-colored light group that has completely regained its calmness from the outside.
It was as if I had received some kind of guidance, without any trace of it escaping.
Directly towards the center of the altar below, the spherical crystals about a foot in size gathered together in a turbulent manner.
Affected by this, the brightness of the layer of blood light emitted from the surface of the latter increased several times again.
As if a bright torch was lit in place, the blazing blood light reflected from this spherical crystal illuminated the underground cave.
It also dyed every corner of the latter with a layer of blood-colored light and shadow.
At the same time, this spherical crystal, which was originally only about a foot in size, also nearly doubled in size.
Around it, there are waves of unparalleled energy fluctuations.
Affected by this, the altar where the spherical crystal was located began to rotate at high speed with a rumbling roar.
I saw that the bloody torrent coming from the bloody light group above was constantly being divided by the movement of the altar below.
It turned into bright bloody streams of light, and there were bloody lines arranged in circles around the altar.
They were quickly transported to the outside of the altar, among the weird things that were evenly distributed like silkworm chrysalises.
Under its perfusion, the volume of these 'silkworm chrysalises' is slowly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On its surface, there is also a layer of mist-like light as thin as a veil.
Vaguely, there seemed to be a somewhat distorted human-shaped light and shadow, mixed in this layer of mist-like light.
As the size of these 'silkworm chrysalises' gradually increased, the latter blended into them silently until they finally disappeared completely.
In less than ten minutes, all the strange phenomena in this underground cave had dissipated.
Next to the black-robed old man, the spherical energy light group several feet in diameter was now illusory and almost transparent.
The latter disappeared from the spot instantly with a wave of the black-robed old man's hand, as if he had never appeared before.
When the black-robed old man saw this, he swayed again and flew towards the huge 'silkworm chrysalis' around him, which had increased by almost half in size compared to before.
After carefully examining all the 'silkworm chrysalises' in the cave.
The face of the old man in black robes, as dry as tree bark, suddenly showed a look of satisfaction, which disappeared in a moment.
He did not stay here any longer, and no movement was seen on his part. Several arc-shaped space ripples quietly emerged around his body.
After a brief pause, the body of the old man in black robe blurred slightly and disappeared instantly.
…
Almost at the same time, the old man in black robe appeared in a slightly smaller cave.
It is different from the cave just now, where the ground is covered with strange things such as giant 'silkworm chrysalises' and web-like thin threads.
The cave he was in at this time had a more "human" atmosphere, both in terms of hardware layout and decoration style.
I saw this old man in black robe emerging out of thin air in this cave.
He walked straight to a corner, where he found a large armchair with its back against the wall and covered with some unknown animal skin, and sat on it with his back turned.
After sitting alone in silence for a moment, the old man in black robe suddenly stretched out his right hand and waved it gently in the direction in front of him.
Along with a little silver star emerging from his fingertips, on the ground not far in front of the old man in black robe——
As if in response, dozens of blue magic circle lights with a radius of two feet suddenly emerged, with a slightly dim surface.
After a brief pause, a layer of bright energy light burst out in the center of these slightly dim blue magic circles.
At the same time, a series of somewhat blurry figures quietly appeared from the center of these magic circles that were about two feet apart.
Among these figures are both men and women, and there is a considerable age range between them.
I saw these figures of different shapes. After the formation's image stabilized, Judu quickly faced the old man in black robe opposite, saluted and said:
"I have met the Holy Envoy in this humble position!"
Looking at the many figures kneeling on the ground across from him, the old man in black robes' face that was as withered as tree bark did not change at all, and he just said a faint 'hmm'.
Then he gave instructions in an unusually dry voice:
"Get up, let's each talk about the situation on our side."
After hearing the instructions of the old man in black robe, the figures who had just stood up across the street paused for a very brief moment.
Then he saw the short, fat and abnormally tall old man located at the first position on the left and said:
"Reporting to your Majesty the Holy Envoy, after receiving your summons and order, I started arranging for the complete withdrawal of my subordinates from the Northern Territory."
"Now, all the personnel under Beizhi, except for some of the 'internal agents' who are stationed in 'Xuanshui City', have all been evacuated to the backup resettlement site according to the predetermined plan."
"In addition, six days ago, the city lord's palace of 'Xuanshui City' began the process of recruiting people from all the towns within its territory."
"As of the night before yesterday, this staff gathering work has been completed."
"Nowadays, in the entire 'Xuanshui City', except around the main city, there are no traces of casual cultivators."
"During this period, I have been following your instructions, the Holy Envoy, and have not done anything to disturb you."
Having said this, the short, fat old man bowed deeply in the direction of the old man in black robe, and then continued:
"Please, Lord Holy Envoy, be clear about this!"
When the old man in black robe heard the words, he just nodded his head slightly and said a flat 'hmm'.
Then his eyes turned and fell directly on the right side of the short, fat old man, a bald man with a very majestic figure.
Seeing this, the latter quickly bowed and saluted, then cleared his throat and said:
"Your Majesty the Holy Envoy..."
…
In the next ten minutes.
Through the formation, these were projected into the dozen or so figures in the cave.
Each of them reported their situation to the black-robed old man one by one according to the order of their positions.
The content of the information they reported back to each other was basically the same.
The biggest difference is that they are responsible for different main city areas.
When these sixteen figures finished reporting to the black-robed old man one by one.
It actually covers the sixteen main cities in the Northern Territory, and Qingliang City, as one of the many main cities in the Northern Territory, has naturally been mentioned.
This man was a very ugly man with a huge, twisting wound that penetrated his entire cheek, making him look extremely vicious.
…
After the last figure finished reporting in order, a rare and fleeting smile appeared on the face of the old man in black robe.
I just heard him cough slightly, and then continued:
"The actions of the cities in the northern region are all within the plan of the Holy See."
"If nothing else goes wrong, after these main cities gather the casual cultivators in their territory, they will launch a manhunt for the disciples of my holy religion."
"Now that you have evacuated to the backup resettlement site as planned, you can naturally sit back and relax."
"This change in the cities in the northern region must be an attempt to unite the 'east and west' regions to launch a siege on our holy religion, just like seven hundred years ago."
"The subsequent battlefields will inevitably be concentrated in the southern region according to the Holy See's plan."
"Once the battle in the Southern Territory begins, it will be time for us to act according to our plan."
"Therefore, in the coming days, while executing the hibernation plan, you also need to carry out targeted collection of 'blood seeds'."
"This will make sufficient preparations for our subsequent attack on the cities in the northern region."
Having said this, the black-robed old man's tone paused, and his eyes moved towards the dozen or so figures on the opposite side one by one.
Seeing this, the latter quickly bowed down and shouted in response.
At this moment, the ugly man in charge of the Qingliang City area bowed towards the black-robed old man and said:
"Your Majesty the Holy Envoy, here at Beizhi, there will be two more suitable sources of 'blood seeds' in the near future."
"It's just that in the process of collecting it, I may need your help."
"oh?"
When the old man in black robe heard this, a look of interest suddenly appeared on his withered face like tree bark.
Seeing this, the ugly man quickly reported in detail the information Shen Wuyou sent back to him recently:
"According to the humble insider, all the elders under the command of Qingliang City have already received the 'Jade Kite Beacon' given by the city guard 'Yu Linglong'."
"This object can span a distance of thousands of miles and instantly transmit the specific spatial coordinates back to the hand of that 'Yu Linglong'."
"Once the humble position alarms the 'Yu Linglong' who is far away in Qingliang City in the process of collecting the 'blood seed', there is no guarantee that the 'Original Dharma Body' will not descend from the air according to the coordinates."
"Therefore, I boldly request the Holy Envoy to take the time to come to Dharmakaya to assist you when I collect the 'blood seed'."
"Hmm... Is it the little guy from before who said he wanted to understand the 'Godly Slate' again?"
The old man in black robe heard the words and asked after a moment of pondering.
"Yes, Lord Holy Envoy, this person's name is Shen Wuyou. Before I was lucky enough to convert to the Holy Religion in my humble position, I had a friendship with this person."
"In the past hundred years or so, I have done more than ten transactions with him."
"This person……"
"okay."
The old man in black robe waved his hand, interrupted the ugly man's words, and then continued:
"I know about this matter. I will wait until you have accurate information and then report it to me."
"I will obey the orders of the Holy Envoy!"
The ugly man was overjoyed when he heard this, and he quickly bowed and accepted the order.
After settling this matter, the old man in black robe briefly gave instructions on a few trivial matters.
Then he waved his hand and signaled these figures to retreat.
After the silence returned to this cave again.
The old man in black robe rubbed the handle of the faucet on the front of the armchair beneath him, and whispered in a playful voice:
"snort!"
"In the great war seven hundred years ago, was it the 'Yu Linglong' who killed three holy envoys of the Holy Religion one after another?"
