Walking back along the original road, the two groups of people were consciously and unintentionally guarding against each other and kept a certain distance. Xie Ling and the old man in gorgeous clothes walked together.

"You are disciples of Cang Yue Sect, why are you here?"

"We came here to deliver a batch of goods ordered by Qinglingmen. I heard that there are good things here, so I came to take a look. But I didn't expect to encounter something like this!" Xie Ling was thinking about what the six kidnappers said this time.

Maybe it has something to do with the people around me.

“So that’s how it is”

"You are a disciple of Cangyue Sect, why are you interested in underworld weapons?" The young monk named Rongfang was a little disbelieving.

"What's so strange about this? I originally came from the Weapon Refining Academy within the sect. As long as it's a magical weapon or a material, I'm interested in it!"

"The Cang Yue Sect's Weapon Refining Academy was very famous five hundred years ago, and it cannot be compared to your current Yang Fu Sect!" The old man in the gorgeous clothes said solemnly.

"Oh, are they so powerful? But how come I heard that they don't even have a weapon refiner now!" Rong Fang said with a dissatisfied smile.

The old man in rich clothes smiled and said nothing.[

The handsome young man on one side frowned. His junior brother had an arrogant temper and could easily offend others. It was better in the junior school, but he would suffer big losses sooner or later if he continued like this outside the home. But he knew his temper, and if he directly

He said that he would be self-defeating, so he coughed a few times and said: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, how far is it going to go? We are almost thirty feet away!"

"We'll be at our previous location in about twenty feet!" Xie Ling, being such a smart man, knew that he was changing the subject, smiled and continued: "There are two more passages there, and the other side is the same.

Once it is sealed, the law will pass."

While talking, the group finally arrived at the first narrow passage.

The old man in rich clothes looked around and saw that just as Xie Ling said, there were two passages on the side. He pondered for a while and then said: "Which one does Xie think leads to the underground?"

When Rongfang wanted to speak again, the handsome young man saw him and pulled him with his hand. The old man in fine clothes was not a kind person, and it was not wise to interrupt him repeatedly when he was talking!

"Both of them are downward passages. I don't know which one will be connected to the wind tunnel of the mine!" Xie Ling said.

"Have you noticed that the smell of corruption here is very strong? Liuguaizi, you are familiar with this place. Have you ever smelled it?" Jingyi covered her nose and said.

Everyone was busy running for their lives at first and didn't realize it. After going up and back through the passage, they suddenly felt that the difference between the upper and lower places was very big.

The expressions of the old men in colorful clothes changed slightly, and they looked at the very nervous Liu Guaizi.

"I haven't been making ideas for a long time, but I haven't smelled this kind of smell before. Maybe it was caused by the landslide. There are many rats, snakes and insects underneath, rotting inside. It must have leaked out after the tunnel was shaken open!"

Liuguaizi said.

"The smell came from the middle passage." Xie Ling stepped forward and sensed it for a moment before saying.

"What he said makes sense. Maybe the landslide has opened up another passage to the one in the middle. Let's go out from the middle! What do you think? How about you go first?" The old man in Chinese clothes said with a smile.

Jiang Qiao had an arrogant temper and could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. Master Xuankai saw this and patted him on the body, then said with a smile: "Thank you, junior brother, let's take a step forward then?"

"Well, senior sister, let's go together!" Xie Ling looked at Jingyi, with concern on his face.

"Okay!" Seeing him saying this in front of everyone, Jingyi's face felt a little hot, but her heart felt sweet.[

The strongest three young men walked in front, with Xie Ling and Jingyi in the middle, and Xue Bing and Shen Conghu behind. After they had moved forward for a certain distance, the old man in Chinese clothes followed with his men.

The passages were just as Xie Ling expected. They were parallel at first, but after walking a certain distance, a hole caused by a collapse appeared in front of them. Xuanshi Kai and others stopped, turned around and said: "There is a hole here that was shaken open."

At the entrance of the cave, the rotten smell comes from inside. Should we follow the original passage or go in through the hole opened by the shock?"

"Go through the hole opened by the earthquake!" came the voice of an old man in rich clothes. There was no room for negotiation in his words and he could not be refused.

"Do as this senior says!" Xie Ling sighed and said.

Xuanshi Kai continued to move forward. For him, the opportunities on both sides were the same. The old man in Huafu was very powerful, and he was not willing to fall out with him here.

After entering the hole that was shaken open, the group of people began to descend, and the slope was very steep, like a slope going straight down the mountain.

As everyone descended, the air inside became increasingly thinner and filthy, and an unpleasant smell came from below. Everyone took out things to cover their mouths and noses to feel better.

But the old man in rich clothes and the handsome young man behind him showed a hint of excitement when they smelled the smell coming from below.

Xie Ling felt that the cold and cold air below was very heavy, so he simply stopped breathing through his mouth and nose, opened the two earth evil orifices on his shoulders, and breathed using the method of fetal breathing.

The passage became narrower and narrower, and at the back it could only accommodate one person. Xie Ling touched the cliff next to him and found that the passage began to level out. After walking straight forward for nearly half an hour, suddenly a white light appeared in front of him.

, everyone began to get excited, and there was a bright light indicating that there was an exit, which made them excited!

However, the further they walked, the more unpleasant the smell became to Jingyi and others. It was a rotten smell, and they became a little uneasy in their excitement.

As he continued to move forward, the light in front gradually became wider. When Xie Ling got out of the narrow passage, he found that he and others were on a rock sticking out from the middle of the cliff of a huge cave. The white light

It comes from below, but it's too deep to see what it is.

Not long after, an old man in rich clothes also emerged from the narrow passage. When he saw the situation below, he had a strange expression on his face.

Then the other six people came out of the passage one after another. The handsome young man lowered his head and looked down, with green light flashing in his eyes. After a while, a trace of joy appeared on his face and he said: "Senior, they are all here as expected!"

"Are you sure it's those things?" The old man in gorgeous clothes looked solemn.

"You can't be wrong. Dark things cannot escape from my two evil eyes.

"Well, if it's as we expected, those guys should be hiding nearby, so please be careful." The old man in gorgeous clothes turned around and said to the people behind him.

Xie Ling looked at him doubtfully. The old man in colorful clothes smiled slightly and took out a silver token from his arms. Jingyi and others also looked at him in surprise, and saw the word "alliance" engraved on the token!

"Senior, are you from the Cultivation Alliance?"

Xie Ling was not surprised.

"Yes, we are from the Northern Branch of the Cultivation Alliance!" said the old man in Chinese clothes.

"Northern Branch"

The Cultivation Alliance has four major branches in the Xuanwu Realm based on regions. The people in the northern branch are mainly responsible for the inspection affairs in the northern area of ​​​​Xuanwu Realm, and Qingzhou is responsible for the western area. How come there are people from the northern branch of the Cultivation Alliance here!

"Cang Yue Sect and Qing Ling Sect are both members of the Cultivation Alliance. Now, as the inspector general of the Northern Branch of the Cultivation Alliance, I am recruiting eight of you to complete this task together. Do you have any objections?" said the old man in Chinese clothes. .

The Cultivation Alliance can recruit disciples from local alliance members to perform emergency tasks, which is determined through mutual negotiation between the alliance member sects.

"Can the junior confirm the senior's token?" Jingyi said.

"Of course you can!" The old man in colorful clothes smiled and handed over the token in his hand.

Jingyi bowed and took it, held it in her hand and identified it carefully before nodding, returned it to the hand of the old man in Chinese clothes, bowed again and said: "It turns out to be Senior Li Xiuqian of Haotian Clan. Junior Jingyi is disrespectful!"

There are several types of tokens in the Cultivation Alliance. The silver medal in the hand of the old man in Huafu is the 'Silver Immortal Order' with the authority to recruit. The token is refined using a special method. After the spiritual power is input, the identity of the holder and the seven characters will be displayed. Dharma images of the elders of the major alliances.

The rest of the people bowed after hearing this. Li Xiuqian is the chief inspector of the northern part of the Cultivation Alliance. Although his cultivation level is only in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, his status in the Xuanwu Realm is actually no less than that of the leader of an ordinary small sect.

"No need to be polite. The reason why I didn't tell you before was because I didn't know what was going on here. Now that the situation has changed, I have to trouble a few of you!" Li Xiuqian said with cupped hands.

"Don't dare, junior and others will obey the orders of senior!"
