Chapter 222: Deep
After dealing with the black-robed man guarding the exit, Gu Heng immediately rushed back.
He hoped that these guys with dark minds and ulterior motives would not attack Qin Yiyao so quickly, but this group of people took away ten people at a time, and on the way back, the smell of blood that Gu Heng smelled was getting stronger and stronger!
The road in this deep valley palace is quite narrow and probably not well ventilated. With such a strong smell of blood, someone must be dead!
Gu Heng returned to the cave where the abducted people were imprisoned.
Then his face suddenly darkened.
Damn, that little girl is gone!
And there were indeed ten fewer people than when he left.
Those people came here again and caught some unlucky people and took them deeper into the area. Qin Yiyao was unlucky and was caught this time.
Damn it!
"You all, go!"
Gu Heng looked at the twenty or so confused and pale-faced people left in the cave, and knocked hard on the wall of the cave, startling them and making them look over.
Everyone was stunned, but no one dared to move.
"Hurry up, the man guarding the exit has been killed by me. If you don't leave, you will die here!"
Gu Heng looked at this group of people who were still dumbfounded, and couldn't help feeling a little displeased, and urged them in a cold tone.
How come these people were so frightened that they didn't even have the courage to run away?
But I heard that Gu Heng killed the gatekeeper.
These people finally woke up as if from a dream, and were filled with surprise and joy. Then they all started to make a commotion, and everyone crawled out of the cave, wishing their parents had not given them two more legs.
Fortunately, there was no stampede.
"Thank you, thank you, sir..."
Everyone kowtowed and expressed their gratitude.
"This benefactor, may I know your name?"
Someone turned around and asked.
"I don't have time to give my name, just run for your lives."
Gu Heng kept walking and answered indifferently.
The man was stunned.
This mysterious master has such a weird temper.
Gu Heng continued walking deeper in another direction. This place seemed to be a road that was opened up temporarily. Although it was not very narrow, there were actually only two directions, either outward or inward.
This road must have been opened up by this group of black-robed men themselves. I don't know what they discovered underground in this deep valley.
But I'm afraid it's not a good thing.
To be honest, Gu Heng really didn't want to go inside. God knew what strange things he would encounter.
After all, this world has everything. There is only the unexpected, nothing that does not exist. Gu Heng secretly speculated in his heart, maybe these black-robed men wanted to perform a blood sacrifice...
But he couldn't just leave like that.
No matter what, we can't abandon the little girl.
I also want to take her to the capital of Riyan to see its prosperity and watch Bai Feier shine in the Imperial Competition.
This girl still has many wishes to fulfill.
The deeper they went, the larger the corridor became. However, Gu Heng only felt that the atmosphere around him was very uncomfortable. The eerie corridor, coupled with the increasingly strong smell of blood that rushed into his nostrils, made him feel creepy.
Gu Heng tried his best not to make any noise, and walked lightly and carefully.
At this moment, the place was silent except for his breathing, as if the only sounds were his own footsteps and his heavy heartbeat caused by nervousness and anxiety.Then, at the end of the corridor, there appeared a neat stone staircase that seemed to be carved directly into the rock wall.
Next to the stone stairs, there was a dead body lying.
It was another man in black robe.
Gu Heng looked at the dead body with blood gushing out of all seven orifices, and then looked at the black blood oozing out of all seven orifices...
Oh! This man was poisoned to death by his poison!
She had just arrived here, and only Qin Yiyao had a small packet of his poison, but Gu Heng gave it to her in case his deception didn't work and she lost her life, leaving her alone. It would be better for her to take the poison directly and end it early and start over to avoid suffering.
But unexpectedly, she didn't use it for herself.
Gu Heng was in a very complicated mood.
He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
Fortunately, the girl did not give up hope of life in the end, but the sad thing is that without the poison, she might have lost the last thing that could protect her.
Although Qin Yiyao loves to play with swords, Gu Heng didn't expect her to be able to deal with these men in black robes.
These people are all monks.
Those moves were all about killing people instantly from a distance.
Gu Heng didn't think too much and continued walking deeper along the stone stairs.
I hope it's not too late.
...
Qin Yiyao walked indifferently at the end of the ten tied people, and was pulled forward by the black-robed man in front of her like a mule.
She didn't struggle or shout, but just stared coldly at the backs of the people in front of her.
She is waiting for an opportunity.
And these men in black robes would not pay any attention to a weak girl. In their eyes, Qin Yiyao was just an ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator. What kind of waves could she make in front of them who were in the Spirit Severing stage?
But what made Qin Yiyao feel strange was this place.
It seemed that some extremely evil existence was buried underground in this deep valley. The further down she went, the more Qin Yiyao felt the sinister aura blowing towards her.
This breath made Qin Yiyao shiver uncontrollably.
She always felt familiar.
Finally, the man in black robe led them to the destination - an empty underground palace, about ten feet high. The four empty walls were covered with all kinds of runes and seals, emitting strange and unpredictable light, which illuminated the scene in the space.
Qin Yiyao saw the altar in the underground palace and the man in purple robe sitting cross-legged on the altar.
Well, even the colors of their robes are different, and their cultivation levels are also different. The man in purple robe is at the fusion stage.
But this is not surprising.
Using clothing to indicate status is a rule that basically every force follows.
The altar in front of the purple-robed man was floating on a pool of blood. The blood pool was steaming and the scarlet blood was bubbling. The pungent smell of blood came from the blood pool, which made Qin Yiyao frown. Fortunately, she had seen the world and did not vomit.
That's where the smell of blood comes from.
There are some bones floating inside that have not yet melted...
Next to the blood pool, there were seven jade sacrificial treasures, all of which were painted with strange and mysterious symbols and patterns, faintly revealing strong fluctuations of Taoist power.
Qin Yiyao frowned. She didn't understand what these magic weapons were used for, but they looked quite weird.
Moreover, the quality is not low, they are all top grade.
A person in the fusion stage, brought a group of people in the distraction stage, came here, set up an altar, made a blood pool for human sacrifice, and generously took out seven heavenly magic weapons.
These people must be plotting a big conspiracy!
