As soon as Meng Xiuyuan said these words, the venue was silent for a moment.
The four demons who originally wanted to attack Meng Xiuyuan immediately changed their eyes and looked at Meng Xiuyuan with a more scrutinizing look.
"Boy, who are you, and how do you know about "The Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique"?
The ‘Mr. Lu’ you call me is that old immortal Lu Miaozi?!”
One of the four demons on the opposite side suddenly stood up. His face was like loess, he was skinny, and he looked like he was about to die. But Meng Xiuyuan could feel that he was the one with the highest kung fu among the four.
"Mr. Meng, this is a "reverse act." You Niaojuan is the biggest demon among the four, and he is ranked among the eight masters of the demon sect and is very powerful.
And the two people behind him, the one wearing monk robes is Zhou Laotan, the leader of the 'Red Hand Sect', and the one wearing a high hat is Ding Jiuchong, the owner of the 'Bawang Valley', both of them are extraordinary people.
You'd better not reveal too much information, otherwise it's easy to get Mr. Lu into trouble..."
Behind him, Shi Qingxuan clung to Meng Xiuyuan's ear, and used her inner power to transmit the sound, carefully reminding Meng Xiuyuan.
Meng Xiuyuan heard a slight hint of dissatisfaction in Shi Qingxuan's voice, apparently blaming him for speaking recklessly and putting Lu Miaozi in danger.
However, Meng Xiuyuan himself didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, according to his plan, the four demons in front of him would never leave the Evil Emperor Temple today.
"Brother You, it seems that what happened today is not simple.
The four of us should stop fighting among ourselves and unite externally first."
The "Charming Lady" Jin Huanzhen, who had just suffered internal injuries, walked up to You Niao Juan, put her head against Yu Niao Juan's chest, raised her head and said to him coquettishly.
"Hmph, okay!
I want this pretty girl, but as for how to divide the Evil Emperor's relics, you three can decide for yourself, I'll leave it to you."
You Niao Juan laughed and put his arms around Jin Huanzhen's waist and hips. At the same time, his eyes looked at Shi Qingxuan opposite him like a wild beast.
Hearing You Niao Juan's words, Jin Huanzhen nodded obediently, but the remaining two demons next to him were obviously not very satisfied.
Among them, Ding Jiuzhong, who was wearing an imperial crown and a sinister face, said coldly:
"You Niaojuan, you really have your own plan.
Let the people enjoy it first, and then we can take advantage after we fight for the relic and lose a lot of money. Is there such a cheap thing in the world?"
Hearing this, You Niao Jian's eyes flashed fiercely, and he immediately smiled strangely and said:
"Ding Jiuzhong, you still haven't awakened from the evil emperor's dream. It seems that you have to be awakened by someone personally..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Laotan, who was wearing a monk's robe and looked ugly, interrupted immediately:
"Brother You is wrong.
Not only did Emperor Ding not wake up from his imperial dream, but he was too awake to see that you had ulterior motives..."
…
Seeing these four demons acting like no one was around and starting to bargain in front of him, Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but shake his head and smile secretly, saying that he was indeed not noticed by the other party.
Not wanting to talk to these demons anymore, Meng Xiuyuan immediately secretly summoned his true energy and wanted to capture these four people first before talking.
Unexpectedly, before he could take action, he suddenly heard Shi Qingxuan beside him say:
"Qingxuan has nothing to entertain the four of you.
Since you want the 'Evil Emperor's Relic', I'll give it to you, no need to fight for it.
I hope the four of you will not embarrass me and this young master again, just take the treasure and go..."
As she spoke, she gently took out a shining golden crystal ball from her sleeve, placed it on her slender hand, and gave it to the four demons in front of her to have a clear look.
Seeing this, the four demons all trembled slightly. The sinister, angry, and sarcastic expressions on their faces just now disappeared, leaving only the desire for this "Evil Emperor's Relic".
The next moment, four people rushed forward at the same time, eager to pounce on Shi Qingxuan. But Shi Qingxuan reacted quickly, raised her delicate hand, and the golden crystal ball shot out, passed through the hole in the tile roof, and reached the sky above the temple roof.
Seeing this, the four people jumped into the sky one after another, crashed through the temple roof, and chased after the crystal ball. Then the sound of palm wind fists was heard, like firecrackers.
"Mr. Meng, come with me quickly..."
Shi Qingxuan said lightly, immediately grabbed Meng Xiuyuan's arm and walked around behind the Buddhist niche.
Meng Xiu saw Shi Qingxuan with a determined look on his face, as if he had a detailed plan, so he did not refuse and first saw what she wanted to do.
Immediately, I saw Shi Qingxuan pushing up a living wall behind the Buddhist niche, and a bright oil lamp appeared in his hand, illuminating a stone step deep into the ground:
"Follow Qingxuan! But every foothold must be based on Qingxuan, otherwise the organization will be triggered."
The gentle voice reached Meng Xiuyuan's ears, and at the same time, Shi Qingxuan's figure was swaying, leaping and jumping, and almost disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
The two of them jumped down nearly a hundred stone stairs one after the other. When they reached the bottom, they saw a cave that was obviously dug manually.
"I think Mr. Meng can also see that this Demon-Conquering Cave is Master Lu's handiwork..."
When Shi Qingxuan was making introductions, he raised the oil lamp in his hand to shine it, and saw two lines of inscriptions chiselled on both sides of the cave entrance. On the left was "Beautiful beauty was created by nature" and on the right was "God's work opened the cave."
"Miss Shi wants to use the trap in this cave to fight the enemy?" Meng Xiuyuan almost saw Shi Qingxuan's intention at this time.
Shi Qingxuan nodded and said seriously to Meng Xiuyuan:
"That's right, Mr. Meng.
I know that you are highly skilled in martial arts, but these four demons are not easy to deal with.
If the four of them are really willing to give up their internal fighting and work together to fight for life and death, they will be in danger to some extent.
If you come to the home court in this cave, you will naturally feel more confident."
Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard the sound. Those four demons were indeed not weak in martial arts. Although Meng Xiuyuan was confident that they could defeat them together, if they knew how powerful they were and made up their mind to flee, it would not be easy for Meng Xiuyuan to go one by one.
Kill.
By leading them into this small space, Meng Xiuyuan could safely handle them all.
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard You Niaojuan's angry shout above them:
"You little bitch dared to deceive us with fake relics. Where are the real relics?"
The strange sound echoed and roared, and the sound was terrifying.
Shi Qingxuan raised his head slightly and said softly to the top of his head:
"Of course the real Evil Emperor's relics are with me. If you have the ability, come down and get them! I'm leaving!"
After saying this, he said hello to Meng Xiuyuan and took him to float away into the deep cave.
…
Meng Xiuyuan was quite surprised by the large scale and complex structure of this "Devil-Conquering Cave".
As soon as they entered from the narrow entrance, the two of them were in a wide natural cave. At the end of the cave, they saw seven more caves extending downward. There were holes in the cave, big holes within small holes, twists and turns, and holes.
Connected.
It is no exaggeration to say that instead of calling this place the "Devil-Conquering Cave", it would be more appropriate to call it the "Demon-Conquering Maze".
At this moment, Shi Qingxuan suddenly approached Meng Xiuyuan and whispered into his ear:
"Mr. Meng, don't speak loudly here.
There are hundreds of thousands of bats living below, and it is extremely dangerous if they are disturbed."
Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard the sound, and probably guessed Shi Qingxuan's intention. However, he did not answer immediately, but subconsciously took half a step back.
In fact, this girl Shi was too close to her for a moment, and Meng Xiuyuan could smell the fragrance on her body, and felt that something was not appropriate.
Unexpectedly, Shi Qingxuan immediately took a step forward, hooked her arms around Meng Xiuyuan's neck, and reached out to touch the back of his head.
Meng Xiu saw the situation and was a little confused for a moment. He didn't know what the girl was going to do or how to deal with it. But after all, he had experienced many battles. When such a vital part of the back of his head was attacked, he didn't need to make any subjective movements, and his body naturally moved to the side.
She dodged away, causing Shi Qingxuan's hand to suddenly fall away.
"Miss Shi, what are you doing?" As soon as Meng Xiuyuan stood firm, he whispered to Shi Qingxuan doubtfully.
Although they had only known each other for a short time, Meng Xiuyuan had a general understanding of Shi Qingxuan's character and knew that this girl was by no means a loose woman who threw herself into his arms without any reason, so he was very puzzled.
Shi Qingxuan was also a little stunned by Meng Xiuyuan's sudden flash. She stood there for a moment, then suddenly chuckled and whispered to Meng Xiuyuan:
"Mr. Meng is so skillful and can hide so quickly.
But don’t misunderstand me, young master, Qingxuan is not trying to harm you..."
While speaking, Shi Qingxuan spread her palms, revealing some light yellow stone powder in her palms, and then smiled and explained to Meng Xiuyuan:
"This stone powder is taken from a strange stone in the cave, and it can naturally drive away bats.
I want to apply this stone powder on your hair so that bats will not dare to fly within three feet of you, which will be of great benefit when you do it."
Meng Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard the words, but he felt vaguely that something was wrong. Time was tight, so he didn't think about it in detail. He nodded, took the powder and applied it to the back of his hair.
At this moment, a strange sound was suddenly heard from the entrance above his head. It was obvious that You Niaojuan and others had found the secret door and were reaching down the cave. Shi Qingxuan immediately turned back to the subject and told Meng Xiuyuan concisely:
"Mr. Meng, I am familiar with the terrain in this cave. I will lead them into the cave where the bats are most concentrated.
You hide in the dark, follow up, and block their escape route.
These four people are all treacherous evildoers who deserve to die. If you kill one more person in the world, you will live a happier life. You must not show mercy.
Take my whistle as a signal, and you will take action as soon as the whistle sounds, okay?"
Meng Xiuyuan felt that Shi Qingxuan was thoughtful and immediately nodded in agreement.
In this way, the two of them immediately acted separately. Shi Qingxuan walked deep into a cave, slightly showing his footsteps, while Meng Xiuyuan hid at the entrance of another cave, holding back his breath and heartbeat, waiting for the enemy to come.
After a while, the gasping sounds of four footsteps were heard from above the head, and the machine was vibrating all the way, but it was not able to slow down the pace of the four people.
Obviously, the "Evil Emperor" Xiang Yutian's four disciples were so good at martial arts that even the mechanisms set up by Lu Miaozi could not stop them.
"That little girl is in front, chase her!"
Hearing the strange cry of Youniao, the four of them flew past the wide cave at the entrance, followed the movement in front, and chased towards the cave where Shi Qingxuan went.
Meng Xiuyuan listened to their voices in the dark, and then quietly followed them until their footsteps were getting further away, with the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind.
At such a moment, before Meng Xiuyuan could catch up with the four evil men in front, he heard the sound of a flute playing deep in the cave.
Different from the music played before, Shi Qingxuan's whistle at this moment is sharp and harsh, and the starting pitch is extremely high-pitched. But it continues to rise and rise, reverberating throughout the caves and caves.
Immediately, thousands of bats deep in the cave were heard fluttering and flying in response to the sound, forming a loud rumbling sound, like a frenzy pouring out of every cave, with a terrifying momentum that shook the earth.
It was obviously Shi Qingxuan's whistle, which alerted all the bats in the cave.
Meng Xiuyuan did not dare to delay, and hurriedly released his pace, shooting straight towards the depths of the cave like a bolt of blue lightning.
Unexpectedly, he did not catch up with the four demons, but instead saw Shi Qingxuan rushing out of the cave with a pale face.
"Mr. Meng, something is wrong. Get out quickly!"
Shi Qingxuan shouted quickly, pulled Meng Xiuyuan's sleeve and led him to turn around and flee out of the cave.
"Miss Shi, what's going on?!"
Meng Xiuyuan didn't understand the situation, and asked as he followed Shi Qingxuan and rushed out of the cave.
"Things are weird, I don't know what's going on.
This stone powder, which has always had a miraculous effect on bats, suddenly stopped working today.
I don’t know if the bats in this cave were stimulated by something, or if some powerful person took action..."
Shi Qingxuan eagerly wanted to explain to Meng Xiuyuan, but before he could finish his words, he saw a black cloud cover his head. Looking carefully, he saw that countless bats were chasing close to them, rushing toward the two of them head-on.
Meng Xiu had a vision that these beasts were approaching fiercely and did not dare to be careless. He immediately struck out with his palm, and the bats were hit by the force of his palm and hit the cave wall, turning into blood, water, flesh and mud all over the sky.
But these bats were not afraid of death, and they continued to come, surrounding Meng Xiuyuan and Shi Qingxuan like endless black clouds.
Meng Xiu was very surprised when he saw this scene. In his impression, although bats lurked day and night and sucked blood, their targets were only animals and poultry. He had never heard of bats attacking humans so crazily.
It seems that the bats in this cave have a special species, or they have been specially cultivated by some expert.
However, this was not the time to study in detail. Bats were coming in a steady stream. Meng Xiuyuan was able to resist, but Shi Qingxuan was already struggling.
Seeing that the girl beside him was about to be swallowed up by a bat, Meng Xiuyuan didn't have time to worry too much and just said, "Miss Shi, I'm offended", and then pulled Shi Qingxuan into his arms.
"Um?!"
Shi Qingxuan suffered a sudden change, and couldn't help but groan softly, and subconsciously tried to struggle.
But the next moment, she noticed a sudden strong wind blowing around Meng Xiuyuan, scattering the incoming bats, and she understood that Meng Xiuyuan wanted to save her.
At the same time, Meng Xiuyuan's gesture of observing courtesy was not really close to her body, but a thin layer of air wall was deliberately separated between their bodies. After Shi Qingxuan gradually understood the situation, her doubts were naturally gone.
I still feel grateful to Meng Xiuyuan.
Meng Xiuyuan didn't have as many thoughts as Shi Qingxuan, he just wanted to get him out of danger first, so he immediately wrapped his body with his true energy and ran wildly along the cave.
Countless bats collided with his body-protecting Qi, and were all bounced away, falling to the ground like raindrops with a "snap" sound.
In this way, within a few breaths, Meng Xiuyuan rushed to the entrance of the cave with Shi Qingxuan. Seeing the faint light coming from above his head, Meng Xiuyuan quickly waved his hand and sent Shi Qingxuan upward.
"Mr. Meng, what are you doing? Come up quickly!"
The situation in the cave is too complicated at this time, let’s go back to the Evil Emperor Temple and make long-term plans..."
Shi Qingxuan saw that Meng Xiuyuan had no intention of coming out of the cave with her, so she couldn't help but call down.
Meng Xiuyuan shook his head. This time he did not listen to Shi Qingxuan's suggestion and simply refused:
"Please Miss Shi, please come to the temple and stay for a while. I will deal with those four people and then go up to meet you.
Otherwise, if we let them escape and chase them one by one, we might cause complications..."
After saying this, Meng Xiuyuan immediately turned around and strode towards the cave in the face of countless flying bats.
