Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

The sacrificial ceremony took place in a huge stone cave on the mountainside to the left of Chenjia Village.

After Village Chief Chen and his men carried Qi Changqing into the stone cave, the sun had already completely set.

Looking at the dark stone cave, Village Chief Chen immediately thought of the nine children he had also tied up and carried here as sacrifices. A cold sweat broke out on his back. He immediately took out a tinderbox and lit the fire racks placed on both sides of the stone cave.

"Let them pass, and we'll leave quickly to avoid disturbing the Fox Spirit."

Upon hearing Village Chief Chen's order, the two strong men immediately set to work, lifting Qi Changqing onto the stone platform in the center of the cave and setting him down.

After putting Qi Changqing down, the two followed Village Chief Chen and left the cave without looking back.

They didn't want to stay in this chilling and terrifying place for even a moment longer.

After Village Chief Chen and his group left, the entire cave fell silent instantly.

With a little effort, Qi Changqing sat up directly from the stone platform and began to observe his surroundings.

The fox spirit has not yet appeared, so he cannot break free of the ropes to avoid arousing suspicion.

Through the flickering firelight on both sides, Qi Changqing was just able to make out the environment inside the cave.

This large stone cave is not very deep, only about twenty feet from the entrance to the end, but it is very wide, enough to fit three or four rooms side by side! It is also very high, even with the firelight, Qi Changqing could not see the top of the cave.

The huge stone cave space was completely open, with almost nothing of any size except for the large stone platform under Qi Changqing's bottom, making it look very empty.

"I wonder when that fake fox spirit will appear."

The night was dark and the wind was high. All around was silent. Qi Changqing waited alone in the huge stone cave for a long time, but he did not see anyone appear.

Imagination and reality are different after all. At this moment, Qi Changqing's heartbeat inevitably quickened, and a chill gradually settled over him.

Qi Changqing quickly realized this and shook his head violently.

"To be cowardly before the battle is fought is a grave mistake!"

He then began to hold his breath, close his eyes, and concentrate his mind according to the method taught by Xuanxi, adjusting his state.

About half an incense stick's time later, a cold wind suddenly blew in from outside the cave.

The flames on both sides of the cave began to shake violently under the onslaught of the cold wind.

Having overcome his fear, Qi Changqing immediately opened his eyes upon sensing the strangely approaching cold wind.

The moment Qi Changqing opened his eyes, he discovered that he was surrounded by a group of men in black.

This group of more than a dozen men in black all wore the same demon masks, which looked terrifying in the dim environment.

The only one standing directly in front of Qi Changqing was different. He was wearing a black cloak, and both his figure and appearance were deeply hidden in the shadow of the cloak.

"This must be the fake fox spirit!"

Qi Changqing blinked, staring calmly at the cloak.

The only thing that exceeded his and his husband's expectations was that this fake fox spirit actually had so many helpers!

Although Qi Changqing did not know the strength of this fake fox spirit, he guessed that it was definitely no weaker than his own. Now, with so many black-clad masked men suddenly appearing, he could not possibly deal with them all by himself.

"That's strange! Are you some kind of idiot, kid? You're not afraid of me at all?"

The cloaked figure took a step forward, raised his hands, and flipped down his hood, revealing the face of a stunningly beautiful young woman.

Upon seeing the fake fox spirit's appearance, Qi Changqing was first startled, then shook his head.

The beautiful young woman curled her red lips, removed the gag from Qi Changqing's mouth, and smiled sweetly: "Such a fair-skinned and handsome young man, you are quite the young man. Do you know who I am?" As she spoke, she raised her fingers, which were stained with bright red nail polish, and gently lifted Qi Changqing's chin.

"Sister, you are so beautiful, you must be the Fox Spirit! Grandpa said that I was specially chosen by the Fox Spirit to serve her in the future."

Qi Changqing blinked, feigning innocence.

"That's right! I am indeed the Fox Fairy!" The beautiful young woman smiled, yet a hint of regret appeared on her face. "You've got a sweet tongue, but it's a pity—"

Seeing that the beautiful young woman had lowered her guard, Qi Changqing was preparing to break free of the ropes and launch a surprise attack when a loud, angry shout came from outside the cave:

"You audacious vixen! Release that boy at once!"

Then, to everyone's surprise, three people—two men and one woman—descended from the sky.

The three men all appeared to be in their early twenties. The man wielding a silver spear with a red tassel was named Gu Xingzhi, the woman holding a pair of mandarin duck swords was named Tang Shuwen, and the last man, who was unarmed but exceptionally tall and strong, was Zhang Yaozong.

These three individuals all came from reputable sects and were specifically there to eliminate the evil sorcerers who used children to cultivate wicked arts under the guise of fox spirits.

The beautiful young woman looked at the three men and sneered, "You've got some skill to find this place! You killed all my men, didn't you?"

"That's right! We're the ones who killed him!"

Gu Xingzhi brandished his spear, pointing the tip at the beautiful young woman, and angrily rebuked her: "You demonic cult member, you deserve to be killed! Over the years, you have traveled to several villages and murdered dozens of children. You are truly depraved and do not deserve to be human!"

Tang Shuwen raised her eyebrows and echoed sharply, "We, the Three Swordsmen, will rid the martial world of this scourge and seek justice for those children who died tragically!" With that, she drew her two swords with a whoosh.

Standing beside the two, Zhang Yaozong said nothing, but his fists were already clenched, and he glared at the beautiful young woman with indignation.

The beautiful young woman looked at the three men who seemed righteous and indignant, as if they wanted to skin her alive, and sneered:

"Want to seek justice for your dead children? —Fine! Tonight, I'll take pity on you and personally send the three of you to hell so you can ask the King of Hell for it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a black shadow and flashed out of the stone cave, sweeping towards the three of them.

At the same time, the men in black surrounding Qi Changqing rushed out of the cave and attacked the three of them.

A chaotic battle erupted instantly, leaving Qi Changqing alone inside the stone cave.

What happened before his eyes was completely beyond Qi Changqing's expectations and disrupted his original plans.

Looking at the people fighting outside the cave, Qi Changqing thought carefully and decided not to break free of the ropes for the time being, intending to remain still and wait for things to develop.

Judging from the current battle situation, the three who call themselves the Three Musketeers are all quite strong. They have not been at a disadvantage in the face of the siege by a group of men in black and a beautiful young woman.

Amidst the clash of swords and the perilous battles, Qi Changqing finally witnessed a corner of the martial world and realized its cruelty and danger.
