In the dense bamboo forest, a faint shadow of blood was quietly passing through.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to visit Dazhu Peak to enjoy the scenery, Chi Yao released a blood droplet and began to search for the whereabouts of the soul-destroying rod.
Xue Dizi walked through the black knotted bamboos and found a group of monkeys hanging upside down on the bamboo branches, chirping non-stop.
Whoosh!
It suddenly shot up and disappeared into the eyebrows of one of the monkeys. After a while, the monkey's eyes became more colorful, a little more agile and intelligent, and then turned around and jumped deeper into the bamboo forest.
Chi! Chi!
This sudden move also disturbed other monkeys, and for a while the bamboo forest was full of monkeys' "squeaking" sounds.
The blood-eyed monkey jumped very fast, and soon passed through the bamboo forest where the monkeys had been living, and stopped at the edge of a cliff.
Looking up, there is a deep valley below the cliff. The valley is filled with thick fog and cannot be seen clearly. What grows on the nearby valley wall is no longer black bamboo but various miscellaneous wild trees, mostly pines and cypresses.
The blood-eyed monkey was delighted when he saw this. He grabbed the branch and swung his body, then lost the force of his fall and continued downward.
Amidst the whistling wind, the blood-eyed monkey successfully fell into the valley and continued to jump deeper.
Following the subtle sound of water, it ran to an open area with sparse trees. The ground was covered with gravel, and there was a small pool in the middle. The water was rippling and flowing to the west.
As soon as he stepped onto the edge of the pool, the monkey was suddenly shocked. A nauseating feeling arose from his internal organs and went straight to his forehead. In an instant, his whole body started shaking and he fell to the ground.
But such a reaction made Chi Yao, who controlled the blood-eyed monkey, neither surprised nor pleased.
Because this feeling is a manifestation of the impact on the soul, which means that the soul-destroying rod is nearby!
If you look closely, you will see that within three feet of the clear water as the center, there is no grass growing, but three feet away, there are lush trees.
"The soul-destroying rod is in the pool!"
He controlled the monkey to continue moving forward. Due to the influence of the soul-destroying rod, the monkey's movements became slower and slower. But because of the support of the blood drop, it could barely hold on.
The blood-eyed monkey came to the center of the pool, where there was a pile of rocks of different sizes and shapes. Among the rocks, there was a short black stick stuck diagonally, only a foot above the water, and the rest was immersed in the water.
It's jet black and you can't tell what material it is made of.
Reach out and hold it.
The evil spirit rushed towards my face.
Wisps of black energy gush out from the short stick and wrap around the blood-eyed monkey, seemingly trying to pull its soul out of its body.
Although it has been strengthened by the Blood Drop, a monkey is a monkey and it is difficult to resist the power of the soul-destroying rod.
Chi Yao did not choose to force it, because with the aggressiveness displayed by the soul-destroying rod at this moment, it was impossible for a monkey to deliver it to him quietly and without anyone noticing.
Fortunately, the location has been found, so I will note it down for now, waiting for him to pick it up in person in the future.
The blood-eyed monkey did not struggle, and the faint blood shadow quickly pulled away, bringing the information back to the main body.
…
…
After watching the scenery of [Bamboo Waves], Chi Yao continued to live a leisurely life in Qingyun Gate as if nothing had happened.
One month later, the time for the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition arrived.
At the invitation of Master Daoxuan, he also served as a guest at the ceremony and witnessed the contest between the thirty-two disciples of Qingyun Seven Peaks.
Although to him, these disciples who are generally in the Yuqing realm are just novices, but it is quite interesting to watch several peak masters quarreling over the performance of their disciples.
Especially Master Shuiyue of Xiaozhu Peak, who always criticized Tian Buyi, the first of Dazhu Peak.
Tian Buyi was constantly irritated by her, but he, who was not good at speaking, was even more clumsy in his eloquence when facing Suru's senior sister. In the end, he could only let Suru come out to smooth things over.
At the top of the other peaks, apart from Cangsong Taoist from Longshou Peak who also made sarcastic remarks from time to time, Luoxia Peak, Chaoyang Peak and others were much more normal and did not have a strong sense of presence.
This time the Seven Meridians Competition ended with Xiao Yicai, a disciple of Tongtian Peak, winning the championship.
The disciples of Dazhu Peak ranked last, not even entering the top eight, which made Tian Buyi look extremely ugly.
However, this incident did not affect him for long, because Tian Buyi and Suru's wedding was coming soon.
Although Shuiyue, as a senior sister, does not agree with her junior sister's marriage, she is only a senior sister after all, not a master, and has no qualifications to forcefully order Suru.
Except for Xiaozhu Peak, the other peak masters all sent congratulatory gifts to Dazhu Peak.
Even Fenxiang Valley and Tianyin Temple sent disciples to come here to express their congratulations.
It was also on this night that Chi Yao went straight to the valley after having a banquet at Dazhu Peak.
…
…
Following his memory, he quickly passed through the bamboo forest, went deep into the deep valley, and came to the center of the blue water pool.
ever!
Holding one end and pulling it out, the soul-destroying rod finally revealed its true appearance.
It was a short black stick about two feet long. It was neither gold nor iron. It felt cool in the hand.
Wisps of black energy climbed up towards Chi Yao's arm, as if they were trying to pull Chi Yao's soul back to the same trick.
But the strength of his soul is not comparable to that of the previous monkeys. No matter how the soul-destroying rod pulls, it is still as stable as a rock and does not move.
On the contrary, he quickly refined the black rod using the blood refining method, and then felt the huge soul power accumulated in it.
It is said that the soul-catching rod is a strange object descended from heaven and fell into the Nine Netherworld. The ghost fire burns the spirit of the Yin spirit to refine it. It will become red after a thousand years, and it will take shape after a thousand years. It will gather the spirit of ghosts and spirits in a thousand years, and it will be able to absorb souls after a thousand years.
Until now, after countless thousands of years, although the accumulated soul power is very mixed, the total amount has reached an appalling level.
It is the perfect qualification for practicing the ghost soul refining method!
With this item in hand, Chi Yao's biggest goal in coming to Qingyun has been achieved.
Although it is a pity that the three-eyed monkey was not found, we have been delayed in Qingyun for long enough.
Shortly after the wedding banquet at Dazhu Peak, he bid farewell to Master Daoxuan.

…
Return to Shiwandashan again.
The construction of the Demon Cult Headquarters was successfully completed by Qinglong and others. Chi Yao did not choose to intervene, but planned to try out the effects of the soul-destroying rod and the soul-purifying bell first.
"Unfortunately, Ghost Road's soul-strengthening technique can only absorb pure soul power, but cannot simultaneously absorb the experience and knowledge in these souls."
Wisps of black air floated out from the soul-destroying rod and were inhaled by Chi Yao.
At the same time, a golden bell hung above his head, shaking gently.
The "ding-dong-dang-dang" sound was clear and sweet, and circles of ripples fell, completely covering Chi Yao, and impurities as fine as dust were constantly being shaken out of the body.
This is the most perfect method of soul cultivation recorded in the blood jade bone tablets.
Chi Yao, who was in it, felt that his soul was changing back and forth as it continued to grow and refine, becoming more and more solid and solid, and his feeling of fatigue increased with time.
Not long after, he stopped practicing.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but it does seem that I have become a little bit smarter and my eyesight has become a little bit brighter, and it has become smoother and easier to activate the Gu.
…
…
One year later.
Outside the Incense Valley.
Chi Yao, Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, Xuanwu, and the six-tailed demon fox, a total of six people, stood on the top of the mountain surrounding Fenxiang Valley, overlooking this righteous sect's headquarters that has been famous for thousands of years.
It was midnight, and the moon and stars were scarce.
Except for a few fire altars in the Incense Valley, most of the places were shrouded in the quiet and dark night, looking like a prostrate and sleeping giant beast.
The body of the six-tailed demon fox trembled slightly, not because of fear, but because of excitement, hatred and hope mixed with each other.
More than two hundred years ago!
Back then, the fox demon clan invaded Fenxiang Valley in a large scale. Although they successfully stole the Xuanhuojian, not only the clan members suffered heavy casualties, but also the nine-tailed celestial fox, the clan leader, lost contact.
If Chi Yao hadn't sent someone to contact her, he wouldn't have known that his mother had been imprisoned in Fenxiang Valley, and he wouldn't have had the chance to come to the rescue and take revenge.
"Are you ready for a scene?"
Chi Yao put a hand on his shoulder and said in a deep voice.
After the cold poison was completely removed from the body of the six-tailed demon fox, its strength returned to a level approximately equal to that of the Earth Demon Realm. It would not be a big problem to at least deal with one or two elders of Fenxiang Valley.
"Um!"
"Then let's get started!"
The six people took advantage of the darkness and quietly sneaked into the valley.
But before he could make any progress, Chi Yao suddenly raised his hand: "Stop!"
Although the other five people were confused, they followed the orders and prohibited them.
They looked at Chi Yao and just closed his eyes slightly, but did not see any movement. After a moment, they waved again: "Let's go!"
"Just now..."
Qinglong followed closely behind and asked in a low voice.
"The 'Night Watch' in Incense Valley is quite strange, but it belongs to me now."
Chi Yao smiled faintly and pointed to a nearby corner.
Qinglong looked over and saw a hole about a foot in size hidden in the dark corner of the foundation wall and under the thick moss.
He reached out and touched it, and he pulled out a strange beast with gray skin and about three feet in length. It had a high back, drooped head and tail, and a pair of small black bean-like eyes set on the top of its head. The most eye-catching thing on its body was a
The nose is extremely long, probably nearly half a foot, almost one third of the body length, and there are two thick nostrils at the very front of the nose.
"Is this a gray dolphin?" Qinglong suddenly understood.
Qinglong, who is well-informed, naturally knows this strange beast. It has no other advantages, except that its sense of smell is extremely sensitive, far better than any other beast.
"Fenxiang Valley is quite unique."
Under normal circumstances, what a infiltrator is most wary of is sound and body shape. In other words, it is detection from the visual and auditory aspects, and there is much less cover for the sense of smell.
Fenxiang Valley's unexpected warning method often achieves miraculous results.
But it is a pity that these gray dolphins are now forced to rebel by Chi Yao.
Heart Gu is best at controlling these intelligent beasts, not to mention that after practicing the ghost soul refining method, Chi Yao's soul strength has now been greatly enhanced, and the power and scope of influence of the Heart Gu have also become much larger.
.
After eliminating the hidden sentry in Fenxiang Valley, a few people quickly shuttled between the well-proportioned palaces and pavilions.
The architectural style of Fenxiang Valley is obviously a fusion of the Central Plains and Southern Xinjiang. The general layout is quite similar to that of the Central Plains, but in subtle places, such as the corners of the window lintels and eaves, you can also see some rough and simple wild animal carvings from time to time.
There are two main purposes for their coming today.
One is to rescue the Nine-tailed Sky Fox who was suppressed in the Xuanhuo Altar.
The second is to use Fenxiang Valley to establish its authority and rekindle the banner of the Demon Cult.
So after they sneaked in, their goal was very clear, which was to first find the location of the Xuanhuo Altar.
"Why don't you scratch your tongue and ask?"
Fenxiang Valley occupies a huge area, and it is not easy to find the Xuanhuo Altar without being familiar with the terrain.
The six-tailed demon fox is eager to try this.
"Try to make as little noise as possible."
Chi Yao thought about it and didn't refuse.
"Master, don't worry, I have a sense of discretion."
The fox demon clan is naturally good at illusions. Not long after the six demon foxes went out, they came back with happy faces and said, "I've asked clearly."
Under his guidance, several people walked through a long and winding path, and saw a white stone tablet deeper in the valley, with two lines of words engraved on it:
[The disciples from the Black Fire Powerhouse stop]
Several people looked happy at the same time.
Things went quite smoothly tonight.
After crossing the stone monument, the trees and flowers on both sides of the path were obviously sparse. First, the grass on the ground gradually disappeared, then the low shrubs, and finally even the originally dense trees on both sides gradually became sparse.
Even the ground began to crack, and the few remaining trees and branches were withered and yellow, as if they had been burned by something.
Following the path and turning a corner, the scene suddenly changed.
What appeared in front of a few people was a large open space, and a billowing heat wave hit their faces.
In the center of the open space stood a huge circular altar, with the bottom suspended in the air. Thirteen huge white jade stone pillars that seemed to be three feet high supported the entire altar. Each pillar was as thick as two people could hug each other, and the tallest one in the center of the altar was
A thick white jade stone pillar, it looks like it would take at least five or six people to hug it.
Above the altar, all the buildings are made of a strange red stone, including steps and railings. In the center stands a tall and majestic palace, taking on the shape of a pagoda, with three floors in total.
.Each higher floor is about half smaller than the next floor, but each floor appears to be almost ten feet high.
Seen from a distance, the altar was like a huge burning red flame, the melting light piercing the sky. The few of them standing under the altar were almost as small as ants.
"Is this the Xuanhuo Altar?"
Qinglong narrowed his eyes and was slightly surprised by the magnificence of this building.
However, as the Holy Envoys of the Demon Cult, they have seen too many things, and it is generally difficult to be shocked. Among other things, the former Savage Temple and the Shura Tower of the Demon Cult look much more majestic and shocking than the Xuanhuo Altar.
As for the six-tailed demon fox, he had seen the Xuanhuo Altar back then, and even went in personally to grab the Xuanhuo Jian!
Chi Yao was also very calm. He ordered: "Next, Xiaoliu and I will go in to rescue the Sky Fox, and the four of you will stay outside. If there is too much movement inside that attracts the attention of Fenxiang Valley, be sure to block them.
.”
"Master, please rest assured! With the four of us here, we will not let anyone in Incense Valley go too far!"
