The dazzling light is not an attack, but reveals a hidden passage.

The rocks slid aside silently, revealing a dark entrance leading underground.

Nong Jin subconsciously protected Yan Yue behind him and looked at the cave entrance vigilantly.

Lingfeng, the snow-white fox that had been perched on Yan Yue's shoulder, shook its fur uneasily and let out a low whimper.

"It seems that the real entrance is here." Yan Yue's voice was calm and composed, and he was not at all frightened by the sudden change.

She took out the night pearl from her storage bag, and its soft light dispelled the darkness at the cave entrance.

The two people and the fox entered the passage cautiously.

The passage was narrow and damp, and the air was filled with a sickening smell of blood.

The deeper you go, the stronger the smell of blood becomes and the more oppressive the feeling becomes.

Ling Feng hummed uneasily, clinging tightly to Yan Yue's neck.

"Be careful, this place is very weird." Nong Jin warned in a low voice, and the long sword in his hand made a buzzing sound, as if sensing the approach of danger.

At the end of the passage is a wide underground space.

It's a dark and eerie place, with strange runes carved into the walls and white bones scattered on the ground.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and a suffocating evil atmosphere.

"This is their nest." Yan Yue's voice was low and solemn.

Suddenly, the surrounding runes lit up with a scarlet light, and several dark shadows rushed out from the darkness, surrounding the two people and the fox.

These dark shadows were dressed in black robes, with ferocious masks on their faces and sharp weapons in their hands, exuding a chilling murderous aura.

"Those who trespass into the holy land of the Blood Demon Cult will die!" The leading man in black let out a cold roar, waving the weapon in his hand and attacking Nong Jin and Yan Yue.

The other men in black also attacked, each move deadly and merciless.

Nong Jin waved his sword to block the attack of the man in black. The sword light flashed and the sharp sword energy tore the surrounding air.

Yan Yue summoned his magic weapon and launched a series of spiritual attacks, repelling the approaching men in black.

Although Nong Jin was powerful, the other side had a large number of people and each of them was fierce and brutal, so they gradually felt a little overwhelmed.

Ling Feng screamed anxiously on Yan Yue's shoulder, but was powerless to do anything.

"These cultists are really crazy!" Nong Jin said gritting his teeth, swinging his sword to block the attack of a man in black.

Yan Yue dodged the attacks of the men in black while observing her surroundings. She noticed that the frequency of the runes flashing around her seemed to have a certain pattern.

"Nong Jin, look at those runes!" Yan Yue said, pointing at the runes on the wall.

Nong Jin followed Yan Yue's gaze and also noticed the difference in the rune. He pondered for a moment, then seemed to understand something.

"You mean..."

"That's right," Yan Yue nodded, "These runes are the key to the protective power. As long as we can find their weak points, we can break this defense."

At this moment, a black shadow rushed out from the crowd and headed straight for Yan Yue.

The black shadow was extremely fast and arrived in front of Yan Yue in the blink of an eye. The dagger in its hand flashed with a cold light and stabbed into Yan Yue's chest.

"Be careful!" Nong Jin exclaimed...

At the critical moment, Nong Jin's figure flashed and stood in front of Yan Yue.

The long sword in his hand was like a silver dragon, forcing the black shadow back.

The black shadow let out an angry roar and pounced on Yan Yue again.

Nong Jin's eyes turned cold, and his sword became more fierce as he fought with the black shadow.

"The fourth rune in the third row in the northwest corner is the weak point of the formation!" Yan Yue hid behind Nong Jin, staring intently at the runes on the wall. The memory of being imprisoned here in her previous life flooded into her mind, allowing her to accurately find the flaw in the formation.

When Nong Jin heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He seized an opportunity and moved to the northwest corner in an instant like lightning. The long sword in his hand chopped at the rune with devastating force.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the entire underground space began to shake violently.

The rune shattered, and the surrounding runes dimmed, leaving a clear gap in the protective power.

"Good opportunity!" Yan Yue was delighted and quickly took out his magic weapon. A dazzling light shot towards the gap, further widening it.

After the gap appeared, a cold and gloomy air surged out from it, mixed with a disgusting smell of blood.

In a dark corner, Yan Yue saw a familiar figure, it was Senior Sister Bai who had been missing for many days.

Her face was pale, her eyes were empty, and a black evil aura was wrapped around her.

"Senior Sister Bai!" Yan Yue felt a pain in his heart and rushed over.

Nong Jin followed closely behind, observing the surrounding situation vigilantly.

Yan Yue came to Senior Sister Bai, stretched out his hand and gently placed it on her forehead.

A warm spiritual power slowly flowed into Senior Sister Bai's body, dispelling the evil spirit from her.

As the evil spirit dissipated, Senior Sister Bai's eyes gradually regained clarity. She looked around blankly, then saw Yan Yue, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Junior Sister Yan Yue...it's you...I..." Senior Sister Bai's voice was weak and trembling, and it was obvious that she had not fully recovered yet.

"Senior Sister Bai, it's okay, I'm here." Yan Yue said gently, her eyes full of concern.

Seeing that Senior Sister Bai had regained consciousness, Yan Yue felt relieved.

She took out a pill from her storage bag and handed it to Senior Sister Bai, "Senior Sister Bai, take this pill quickly. It will help you recover your spiritual power."

Senior Sister Bai gratefully accepted the pill and swallowed it. The pill melted in her mouth, and a warm current flowed through her body, making her feel much better.

"Thank you, Junior Sister Yan Yue." Senior Sister Bai's eyes were filled with gratitude.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the surrounding darkness. The men in black seemed to sense something was amiss and gathered around, their eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"Want to take her away? Dream on!" Nong Jin snorted coldly, and the long sword in his hand shone brightly.

His aura surged, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire underground space.

The power of the Immortal Emperor shocks heaven and earth!

His eyes flashed like lightning as he scanned the surrounding black-clad men and said in a deep voice, "Anyone who dares to take a step forward will die!"

The men in black were intimidated by Nong Jin's aura and did not dare to act rashly for a while.

But they did not retreat. Instead, they roared even more frantically, their eyes filled with hatred and murderous intent.

The leading man in black let out a sharp cry, and a long black sword appeared in his hand, emitting a strong evil aura.

"Kill them! Take back the Saint!"

When the men in black heard the order, they brandished their weapons and rushed towards Yan Yue and Nong Jin... Nong Jin showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"court death!"

Men in black came like a tide, swords flashed and shadows crisscrossed, and a cold and evil aura filled the entire underground space.

Nong Jin's eyes were cold, and he swung the long sword in his hand tightly. The sword energy was so strong that it was like a dancing silver dragon, knocking away the approaching men in black one by one.

He was surrounded by golden light, like a god descending from heaven. The powerful pressure from the Immortal Emperor frightened the men in black, but they had no choice but to move forward because they were controlled by the cult.

"You are overestimating yourself!" Nong Jin snorted coldly, and shook the long sword in his hand. A golden sword energy shot out like a thread, instantly piercing through the bodies of several men in black.

They screamed, fell to the ground, and turned into a black mist and dissipated.

Although Yan Yue hid most of his strength, he was not completely powerless.

She was agile and dodged the attacks of the man in black. At the same time, she used her magic weapon and launched a series of fierce attacks that accurately hit the man in black's vital points.

A man in black took advantage of Nong Jin's unpreparedness and attacked Yan Yue from the side. Yan Yue was unable to dodge and his arm was scratched, bleeding.

"Yu'er!" Nong Jin's heart tightened upon seeing this. His eyes turned cold, and the sword in his hand shone even brighter, instantly slicing the man in black in two.

He flashed to Yan Yue's side, his eyes full of worry, "How are you?"

Yan Yue shook his head and said, "I'm fine, just a minor injury."

Nong Jin held her arm lovingly, a soft white light emanating from his fingertips as he healed her wound. Warm spiritual energy flowed through Yan Yue's wound, and the pain gradually subsided.

"Be careful next time." Nong Jin's voice was low and gentle, his eyes full of concern.

Yan Yue looked at Nong Jin, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

His eyes were so focused and affectionate that she felt extremely safe and happy.

She nodded gently, "I understand."

After treating Yan Yue's injuries, Nong Jin joined the battle again.

The long sword in his hand was like the scythe of death, reaping the lives of the men in black.

Although the men in black were numerous, they were as vulnerable as ants in front of the powerful Immortal Emperor.

The battle lasted for an incense stick of time, and the underground space was filled with the corpses of men in black and black mist. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the remaining men in black fled in all directions.

Nong Jin did not chase after her, but came to Yan Yue and gently held her in his arms, "It's okay."

Yan Yue snuggled in Nong Jin's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, feeling full of security.

After a short rest, the two continued to go deeper into the underground space. The air was filled with an increasingly strong smell of blood, making people feel nauseous.

They arrived in front of a massive stone gate, intricately carved with runes and emitting a sinister aura.

"This should be the core area of ​​the cult organization." Yan Yue said.

Nong Jin nodded and said, "Be careful."

He reached out and pushed open the stone door, and an even stronger smell of blood hit him in the face.

Behind the stone gate is a huge underground cave. In the center of the cave is an altar, on which is placed a huge blood-red crystal ball.

Dozens of people in black stood around the crystal ball, performing some kind of ritual.

The leader was a man in black, wearing a black robe and a mask, so his face could not be seen clearly.

In his hand he held a black dagger dripping with blood.

"Blood Demon!" Yan Yue recognized the man at a glance and his heart sank.

Nong Jin held Yan Yue's hand tightly and whispered, "It seems that the real battle has just begun." He felt a heart-pounding breath coming from the depths of the cave. His gaze turned to the crystal ball on the altar, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"what is that……"

"That crystal ball seems to be absorbing the vitality of the controlled disciples." Yan Yue frowned. She could feel the cold and gloomy aura emanating from the crystal ball, which was creepy.

Nong Jin nodded slightly, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, "We must destroy it first." Golden light flowed around him, and the powerful pressure of the Immortal Emperor was released instantly. The men in black in the cave felt difficulty breathing and their bodies shook.

"Go!" Nong Jin gave the order, and his body turned into a golden light and rushed straight to the altar.

Yan Yue followed closely behind, the magic weapon in his hand flashing with light, and fierce attacks fell like raindrops, repelling the black-clothed man who tried to stop him.

She seemed to be using only 50% of her strength, but every move was deadly. Secretly, she was gathering even more powerful strength at her fingertips, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

Nong Jin brandished his sword, and the sword energy was so strong that it swept through the entire cave like a violent storm.

Although the men in black were numerous, they were no match for Nong Jin's powerful strength.

Seeing this, the leader of the men in black on the altar let out a sharp scream and stabbed the crystal ball with the dagger in his hand.

"Not good!" Yan Yue's heart trembled. She felt a powerful evil force surging out of the crystal ball.

Just as the dagger was about to pierce the crystal ball, Nong Jin's sword arrived first and knocked the dagger away.

At the same time, Yan Yue also used a powerful spiritual power to wrap the crystal ball and prevent the release of evil power.

The crystal ball made a crisp cracking sound, and cracks appeared on the surface.

Seeing this, the leader of the men in black had a flash of fear in his eyes, "You...you actually..."

Nong Jin snorted coldly, "The cult's conspiracy ends here." The sword in his hand shone brightly, and a golden sword energy rushed straight into the crystal ball.

boom!

With a loud bang, the crystal ball exploded, breaking into countless fragments that scattered across the ground. The evil aura that permeated the cave also dissipated.

The controlled disciples regained consciousness and looked around blankly. Yan Yue and Nong Jin took the opportunity to rescue them and escorted them out of the cave.

"The Blood Demon hasn't appeared yet." Yan Yue looked at the empty altar, feeling vaguely uneasy.

Nong Jin held her hand tightly and said, "He must be nearby, be careful and alert."

The two continued to explore deeper into the cave, and the evil aura around them became stronger and stronger.

Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter came from the depths of the cave... "Hehehe... Do you think you can stop me like this?" The cold voice echoed in the cave, and a figure slowly walked out of the darkness... Nong Jin protected Yan Yue behind him, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring at the figure, the long sword in his hand humming, ready to go.

He whispered, "Yuer, be careful..."
