Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Lingxu Shandong, roughly in the middle of Lingxu Mountain, is the location of the ancestral temple of the ancient Tuoba clan. A thousand years ago, because of the Fuchen Temple on Lingxu Mountain, the entire clan moved from the north of Lingxu Mountain to a valley in Lingxu Shandong at the same altitude, named Xutong Valley, named because the valley was surrounded by purple paulownia trees.

The Tuoba ancient clan had lived here for five hundred years, and they lived and worked in peace and contentment. Five hundred years ago, after the destruction of the Fuchen Temple, the Tuoba ancient clan moved to the Buluoling Mountain. The reason was unknown, and outsiders did not know about it either, because the Tuoba ancient clan had arranged the Maze Forest around the Xutong Valley, which had been guarded for generations. Outsiders could not enter the Xutong Valley, so outsiders still thought that the Tuoba ancient clan was still living in Lingxu Mountain.

At this moment, on a high platform in Xutong Valley, the great elder and three elders of the Tuoba ancient clan were looking at the four people in the lost forest.

"Great Elder, what are they doing here in the ancestral temple of our Tuoba ancient clan?" asked one of the elders.

"You ask me, who should I ask?" The elder had a really bad temper! In fact, he was a little worried.

First, he was afraid that these people came for that matter, and second, the little girl among the four seemed to be someone he knew. If she was really someone he knew, why did she come to the Tuoba ancient tribe?

"Never mind him, let's capture him first!" said another elder.

The Great Elder pondered for a while.

"Okay, let's take them down first! When the fog starts to rise in the Night Dark Forest, we will lure the four men away to take action. I will deal with the little girl, the second one will deal with the young man, the fifth one will deal with the young woman, and the sixth one will take down the man in the hat."

"Yes," everyone responded.

Lost in the forest, the forest was quiet and the mountains were empty. I didn't know when, thick fog gradually rose around.

The four of them stood there, and Huang Xiyi woke up from her contemplation.

"We should have entered a maze formation. The formation should have borrowed the power of the trees and terrain in the mountains. It will not be easy to break the formation in a short time!" Huang Xiyi said.

"What should we do? We can't just wait to die? Are we going to be trapped here and die?" Shen Yichen complained.

"Second brother, before we die, let's rape her, okay?" A'mei said, staring straight at Huang Xiyi's veil.

Shen Yichen also looked at Huang Xiyi. He also thought about using his spiritual sense to detect Huang Xiyi, but he didn't do it. First, he felt that Huang Xiyi's cultivation was higher than his, and his spiritual sense might not be able to detect it. Second, he didn't understand the Qingwei Xuannv sect's skills, and it would be troublesome once his spiritual sense was discovered!

"Who is it?" Shen Yichen suddenly shouted, because someone broke into his spiritual awareness range. The moment he flashed by, he looked like he had a very high level of cultivation.

When the spiritual sense captured it, it saw an old man with a smile on his face, standing in the distance and looking at everyone.

When everyone heard Shen Yichen shouting that someone was there, they looked up and around, but the fog was so thick that they couldn't see anyone.

"Little Second Brother, don't scare me. There can't be a ghost in the ghost wall, right?" After saying this, A-mei did not approach Shen Yichen, but took two steps towards Monk Mingzhi. Maybe she thought monks could catch ghosts!

While A-mei was speaking, three more people appeared in Shen Yichen's consciousness, four people in four directions.

"It's over, I'm being targeted by someone, and his cultivation is so high! Is he from the Tuoba ancient clan?" Shen Yichen thought to himself.

"Someone is coming, be careful!" Shen Yichen shouted.

The three of them looked at him. Huang Xiyi didn't feel anyone nearby. She knew that the monk didn't have this ability. A'mei didn't say a word. The hand behind the thick fog was flashing with magic light.

A-mei also knew that four people had come, and one of them should be at the Dao-peeping realm!

"Little Second Brother, you can scare me, but don't scare them!" A'mei said, and this time she was not joking.

Ah Mei was thinking: "What method did this kid use? How come his spiritual awareness is so sensitive? I didn't see him using any energy!"

"Since you're here, there's no point in hiding. We walked into the formation accidentally and have no ill intentions. Please let us go down the mountain," said Shen Yichen. He was already on high alert at this moment.

Huang Xiyi and Monk Mingzhi also reacted because there was the aura of cultivators practicing martial arts all around them.

"May I ask if you are the elders of the Tuoba Ancient Clan? We have no intention of intruding. It is not our intention. We just want to borrow the road to the Soul Devouring Cave in the south of the mountain. Please give us some convenience!"

Huang Xiyi practiced her internal energy while speaking, ready to take action at any time.

"How did you know the name of Soul-Devouring Cave? People in the world only know about Xuya Cave. How do you know the secret of our clan? Who are you?" A questioning voice came from the fog.

"Another deceiving girl!" Shen Yichen thought to himself: "You don't even know who the other party is, what truth are you talking about!"

Huang Xiyi had no idea that the Soul-Devouring Cave was a secret of the ancient Tuoba clan. She just thought it was the name of a cave that she heard from Zen Master Wuwang!

"Do it!"

Four people rushed towards the four people from four directions with powerful aura.

"Oh, is it a human or a ghost?" Ah Mei said as she ran into the fog and disappeared.

Shen Yichen stood up and faced the old man who had already locked onto him.

Huang Xiyi and Monk Mingzhi were also taken to different directions by the two people.

Shadow Hall, one of the most legendary killer organizations in the world of cultivation, is said to have a history of one thousand years. After the great battle between good and evil one thousand years ago, a group of people appeared in the world of cultivation. They neither followed the right path nor joined the devil's sect. They killed all the most evil people in the world, but also slaughtered all the most good people in the world. No one knew why they did it. They seemed to want to tell the world that the existence of good and evil is the rule, and neither good nor evil can exist in the world.

As time passed, this group of people formed an organization called the Weng Ying Team, which later slowly became the killing organization known to the world as the Shadow Hall. It is rumored that the Shadow Hall is just a subordinate organization of the Weng Ying Team, but after the emergence of the Shadow Hall, there was no news of the Weng Ying Team in the world.

The principle of Shadow Hall is not to mix good and evil. People of the righteous path can be killed, and people of the evil path are also shown no mercy. Because Shadow Hall does not involve the power struggle between the righteous and evil paths, there are generally no big forces or sects to encircle Shadow Hall. First, the strength of Shadow Hall itself is very strong. It is rumored that it can compete with Ji family with a 64-to-70 chance of winning. Of course, this is just a rumor. If they compete head-on, it may be 82-to-80. However, Shadow Hall is a killer, and killers will do anything to achieve their goals, so they have an extra 20% chance of winning. Second, no matter good or evil, there will be some things that cannot be brought to the table, some things that they are unwilling to deal with personally, and they will also choose some special means. Shadow Hall is the best choice for good and evil to deal with such things.

No one knows where the Shadow Hall is, but people all say that wherever there are shadows, there is the Shadow Hall.

At the intersection of the four major regions of Zhongzhou, Youzhou, Yizhou and Yanquan, there is a large canyon. Outside the canyon, there are gusts of cold wind, lightning and thunder all year round. Inside the canyon, poisonous miasma is everywhere, and it is a paradise for all kinds of poisons. This canyon is called the Death Canyon by people from the four regions. No one can get out, and it has been like this for thousands of years.

At this time, a white-haired old man dressed in purple and jade-green clothes and wearing a purple and jade-green hat was standing in the open space of the Death Canyon. No one knew how he got in because he was a blind man.

"Murong Youting of the Murong Clan of Youzhou is entrusted by the head of the family to visit Mr. Helian, the head of the Shadow Hall."

The blind old man shouted into the air.

"The Shadow Hall does not see anyone, does not look at anyone, does not report anyone, does not wait for anyone, please go back!"

A voice came from the void.

"The Murong clan used the Qiankun Jade Pendant as a bargaining chip to make a deal with the Shadow Hall!"

There was no response in the void for a long time, and the blind Murong Youting waited calmly.

Suddenly, a beam of gray and white light shot towards Murong Youting from the void. After a flash of light, Murong Youting appeared in a lobby.

In the hall, there were nine other people besides Murong Youting. The one standing in the middle was Helian Xiaoyue, the head of the Shadow Hall. On both sides were four people, all of whom were the hall masters of the Shadow Hall. Four of the thirteen halls' hall masters were not present.

"Elder Murong, please state the conditions!"

Helian Xiaoyue was not being polite.

"My Lord is willing to exchange the Qiankun Jade Pendant for the Demon Emperor's Sacred Bones!"

"make a deal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Youting was teleported out of the Death Canyon, and his back was already wet!

Inside the Shadow Hall.

"Master, why do you want to make this deal? Thirteen years ago, the Shadow Hall was seriously injured by the Qiankun Jade Pendant. We stayed in seclusion for thirteen years to recuperate and build up our strength. Now that things are starting to pick up, the Thirteenth Hall has just been reorganized. We have to fight for the Qiankun Jade Pendant again. I don't understand!"

"The Demon Emperor's Sacred Bone is in the hands of the Ming Demon Sect. Although it is not as powerful as the Ji Family, it is also a major sect of the Demonic Path. Why should we become enemies with them just for a Qiankun Jade Pendant?"

After Murong Youting left, the two hall masters of the Shadow Hall began to complain.

"The Fifth, Tenth, and Eleventh Halls are heading to Yingzhou only for the Sacred Bones of the Demon Emperor. The rest have nothing to do with the Shadow Hall. If they are stopped, they will be killed!"

After saying that, Helian Xiaoyue disappeared!
