Evil Master and Disciple

Looking at Ye Feng's angry expression, Fu Jinghong sighed and said, "Hey, Old Ye, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that such a thing would happen in Tianyun Mountain, in the core of our Yunhai Sect."

Ye Feng said slowly: "What did the girl say before she died?"

Fu Jinghong said: "She only knew that she was imprisoned in a huge mountain cave, guarded by seven or eight monks.

Today, a spirit beast suddenly jumped out from the depths of the cave and swallowed her in one gulp. She was conscious for a very short time and did not know the entrance to the cave. She died without providing any more valuable clues.

However, it is certain that the place where these girls were imprisoned is a large earth vein connection point, otherwise the earth spirit beast would not appear from the depths of the cave.

I originally thought the Earth Spirit Beast you captured was related to this, so I asked you to come over. Now I'm sure these two Earth Spirit Beasts appeared far apart, so they probably didn't come from the same place."

Ye Feng slowly shook his head when he heard this.

His expression was very serious, and he said, "I'm worried that there are more than just two earth spirit beasts entering the surface."

Fu Jinghong nodded slowly.

If one or two earth spirit beasts appear in the same place, it may really be just a coincidence, or they have strayed in by mistake.

However, the place where Ye Feng's earth spirit beast and the earth spirit beast in front of him were discovered was nearly five hundred miles apart, and this was the straight-line distance.

It can now be basically confirmed that the underground spiritual veins of Tianyun Mountain have suffered severe damage, and the damaged area is very wide.

Based on the existing clues, we can roughly infer a context.

There must be a ground connection point near this place. A group of people occupied that ground connection point and turned it into a cave of ecstasy, secretly imprisoning hundreds of young girls there.

More than an hour ago, just before dawn, a spirit beast entered the surface through the earth vein connection point. When passing by the cave where the girls were imprisoned, it devoured the two girls.

Four of the monks who were guarding the girl chased out and killed the earth spirit beast here.

When they were disemboweling the earth spirit beast, Fu Jinghong's men happened to come nearby using the golden cicada and the map to explore the spiritual vein connection point and witnessed this incident.

The four of them didn't have time to clean up the mess and fled immediately, which led to the scene Ye Feng saw now.

Ye Feng took out a piece of silk that he had stolen from Tianyu Silk Shop last time from his storage bag, tore off two large pieces, and covered the bodies of the two naked girls with them.

Then he stood up and looked around.

Now it is certain that the earth spirit beast must have crawled out from nearby, which means that the cave where the girl was imprisoned is nearby.

But this is a primeval forest. Looking around, there are steep mountains in all directions, and cultivators can set up barriers, illusion arrays, and even have the ability to block breath.

It would be very difficult to accurately find the enemy's base of activity in this primeval forest, even with the help of the Buddhist Jade Cicada.

The most important thing is that there is no time.

Fu Jinghong's men met the other four people, and the other party was definitely aware of the danger.

It is very likely that these people are disciples of the Yunhai Sect.

Since Fu Jinghong has set his eyes on this place, they have only two possibilities to ensure that the secret is not exposed. One is to transfer it secretly, and the other is to kill people to silence them.

The possibility of hundreds of girls being secretly transferred to other places is almost zero.

The only option left is to kill and silence the witness.

If we don't find where the girl is imprisoned as soon as possible, it will be too late.

After taking a look at the surroundings, Ye Feng said, "Old Master, using the jade cicada I lent you and the sheepskin map, can't you find the connection point of the earth vein?"

Fu Jinghong said: "They have set up a barrier array to block the aura in the area for dozens of miles. Although Yuchan can still sense a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation, the area is too large, so it is not ideal to search. It will probably take a long time.

However, judging by the current situation, I'm afraid we don't have much time left, alas."

Ye Feng understood what Fu Jinghong meant.

Ye Feng thought of the last time he and his ancestor, Senior Su Xiaoli, tracked the Earth Spirit Beast in reverse.

So he asked, "Where are the traces of the Earth Spirit Beast? The Earth Spirit Beast is so huge. Passing through this sparsely populated primeval forest, it must have left some traces in the jungle. Can we use the traces of the Earth Spirit Beast to find where it came from?"

"That's what's strange. Apart from the signs of a fight here, there are no other signs around."

"Forehead……"

Ye Feng looked around again.

I thought this was totally wrong.

The earth spirit beast has no eyes and is being hunted by four human monks.

Normally, in this sparsely populated jungle, it should have left obvious traces wherever it passed.

For example, flowers and plants are broken.

But why can't I find any trace?

Tu Qianchi said somewhat depressedly: "We are not familiar with the Jade Cicada, so it takes a long time to find it. Junior Brother Ye, the Jade Cicada has been with you for many years. Can you activate it better?"

Ye Feng looked towards Tu Qianchi, and saw that the Buddhist Jade Cicada that he had lent to Fu Jinghong was now lying on the back of Tu Qianchi's hand. The transparent golden cicada wings emitted a faint and soft golden light under the sunlight shining through the branches and leaves.

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "I have lost all my memories from six months ago, and I don't know how to activate this jade cicada..."

When Tu Qianchi and the others were feeling a little disappointed, Ye Feng suddenly raised his head and said, "There is someone who should know how to use the Jade Cicada."

"Who?"

"Shentianqi..."

Fu Jinghong's expression changed, and he said, "You don't want Shen Tianqi to come and help find it, do you?"

"Yes. Hundreds of imprisoned girls, that's a huge amount of money. This place is the core area of ​​​​the Yunhai Sect. I guess the imprisonment of the girls is the same as what we are investigating now.

Shen Tianqi was involved in this matter last time in order to save me. She also has a jade cicada on her body, and has carried it with her for twenty or thirty years. She understands the function of the jade cicada much better than any of us.

If we can get Shen Tianqi to come and help, it might be effective."

Everyone looked at Fu Jinghong, waiting for him to make the decision.

Fu Jinghong's eyes flickered.

This matter was extremely secretive, and he actually didn't want to involve people he wasn't familiar with or trusted.

Fu Jinghong asked, "Old Ye, do you trust Shen Tianqi?"

"She took my first kiss away from me. Tell me, do I trust her?"

"Since you trust me, I will immediately return to Xingluo Peak to find her for help. Please wait here for a moment."

This time, Fu Jinghong did not leave alone, but left with three female disciples.

Ye Feng looked at the backs of Fu Jinghong and the other four as they walked away, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.

It seems that the Spirit Sound Mirror Project should be put on the agenda.

This distance of more than 400 miles is nearly 1,000 miles round trip. Even if you fly at high speed, it will take nearly an hour to go back and forth. It is really inconvenient.

After Fu Jinghong left, Tu Qianchi ordered the remaining young disciples to patrol and guard the surroundings.

Ye Feng wandered around aimlessly for a while, then pinched his nose and came to the corpse of the Earth Spirit Beast.

The body of this earth spirit beast was chopped into pieces. Not only was its belly cut open, but there were at least hundreds of sword wounds of varying sizes on its body.

Looking at the messy environment around him, Ye Feng could imagine the scene in the darkest period before dawn, when four cultivators with impressive cultivation levels surrounded the Earth Spirit Beast and continuously attacked it with their Qi Swords.

Suddenly, Ye Feng felt something was wrong.

He stroked his chin and looked at the two girls' bodies covered by silk.

"Why did the four cultivators who surrounded and killed the Earth Spirit Beast cut open its stomach? Was it to save the two girls? But the two girls had already been swallowed by the Earth Spirit Beast. Anyone with a bit of common sense would know that even if they cut open the Earth Spirit Beast's stomach, they would definitely not be able to save them.

Besides, before a girl died, there were hundreds of young girls like them imprisoned. Losing two of them shouldn't be a big deal for these people."

When Ye Feng thought of this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He recalled the scene in Huangyan Forest when Yue Yinling had secretly dug out the pig demon's inner elixir without his knowledge.

This earth spirit beast has a terrifying appearance and a huge body. The first impression it gives people is that it is a peerless beast monster.

The older the beast demon is, the stronger the demonic power in the inner elixir will be.

"Hiss...are they digging for the inner elixir of the Earth Spirit Beast? The Earth Spirit Beast relies on the spiritual power of the earth veins to survive, so its inner elixir must be more powerful than other monster beasts!"
