"Early stage of fifth grade."

Lu Qingshan's heart trembled.

The sleeping source demon in front of me turned out to be a fifth-grade great demon.

No wonder the elder of the Qiu family in the early stage of Nascent Soul could not even run away, so he was buried in the mines.

They were not prepared to take action rashly until they understood the specific situation.

Seeing that the source demon was not disturbed, Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan slowly retreated.

…

Qiu Shiyin, who was hiding quietly in a small mine, holding her breath and observing the movement everywhere, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two people coming back.

"You have already seen it, let's get out of here quickly?" Qiu Shiyin looked at Ji Chuan cautiously and suggested

Ji Chuan did not object this time, "Let's go."

Just follow the way you came and you won't encounter any more setbacks when you leave.

At the entrance of the mine vein, Qiu Shiyin counted the harvest of this trip very seriously, "This time, we harvested a total of 210 kilograms and 4 taels of source stone orchids.

According to the eighty-two kilograms agreed before, I will take forty-two kilograms and one kilogram, and the rest belongs to you."

Even one tael was taken into account. This little female thief was quite fussy about this aspect.

Ji Chuan was not polite to her, and reached out to take the source stone orchid handed over by Qiu Shiyin.

"We'll work together next time if we have a chance." Qiu Shiyin smiled and saluted the two of them with clasped fists, "I'll take my leave now."

When Qiu Shiyin's escaping light disappeared from sight, Ji Chuan waved his hand and threw the source stone orchid to Lu Qingshan, "Junior brother, you can handle these."

For monks of their level, this source of orchid mine is of little significance.

Lu Qingshan smiled, noncommittal about Ji Chuan's behavior, and collected Shi Lan, "Now let's go to Qiu's house to ask about the specific situation?"

"That's what I meant." Ji Chuan nodded.

........

Fenglin Town is the big town where the Qiu family is located.

The Qiu family has nearly a thousand cultivators, large and small, plus the mortal children, handymen, etc. who have no talent for cultivation. There are tens of thousands of people in the family, and it is worthy of being the largest cultivating family in Burial Ridge.

It's just that this prosperous clan in the past is now in a state of chaos.

The Shilan mineral vein, the foundation of the family, was occupied by the source demon, and one of the only two Nascent Soul Lords in the family died in the mineral vein.

For the Qiu family, this can't even be described as a serious loss of vitality. It can be said to be a strain on their muscles and bones.

The old house of the Qiu family was filled with gloom and gloom.

Several chief clan elders and family heads are gathering in the main hall.

Today’s topic is also very simple.

Should we send people into the mine veins again to bury the corpses of the clan members?

"Forget it about the others. The Qiuhan clan elder has such a more important position than our Qiu family. He has made great contributions to the family for nearly a thousand years, so his body is abandoned in the mine. Wouldn't it make you feel cold?

?" A middle-aged male cultivator asked sharply.

He is the son of the elder of the Qiuhan tribe.

"It's not that our hearts are cold, or that we don't value Elder Qiuhan, it's just that the mine is too dangerous at this time.

We have already lost the elder of the Qiuhan clan, and we have already suffered heavy losses. What if we send someone in and something happens to us as well?"

The monk in charge of another lineage said sternly: "Our Qiu family is already in a precarious situation, so it is even more important for us to act safely and not take big risks."

For a moment, the two people were in a fight with each other.

Qiu Changqing, the head of the Qiu family, who was sitting on the main seat, rubbed his forehead with a headache.

Why did this Source Demon suddenly run out of the restricted area?

boom!

The noise in the main hall was suddenly broken by an extremely harsh sound of breaking the door. Qiu Changqing's face suddenly darkened, and she raised her head, about to angrily scold the slave who broke in.

A rapid but surprising voice came into his ears.

"Master, the people from the Sword Sect are here!"

The anger and sadness on Qiu Changqing's face disappeared almost instantly, and the quarrel between the two people in the hall suddenly stopped.

"Hurry up and welcome the Sword Sect Master in." After thinking about it, he felt something was wrong, and stood up suddenly, his voice urgent, "Let's go out together to welcome the Sword Sect Master. Don't neglect the Sword Sect Master."

"It should be so!" Other tribesmen also echoed.

With this decision made, all the Qiu family monks in charge in the hall moved quickly and walked out of the door together, preparing to greet the superior cultivators from the Dao Sect.

However, as soon as the Qiu clan members walked around the corner hall, they saw two extremely young-looking monks walking towards the opposite side.

One has a tall and straight figure, a fierce temperament, and amazing cultivation.

He has an ordinary appearance, a restrained aura, and no specific cultivation level.

Qiu Changqing reacted the fastest, and did not care that these were two young people. He immediately bowed respectfully and said: "We have met the two monks, and we are preparing to welcome them in person."

"There's no need for false etiquette. My junior brother and I are here to solve the problem of your Qiu family." Ji Chuan waved his hand, and a red light flashed out.

Qiu Changqing quickly stretched out his hands to catch the red light.

Lying in the palm of his hand was a Vermillion Bird Sword Talisman.

"Two superior cultivators, please come over here." Qiu Changqing smiled and carefully checked the Vermillion Bird Sword Talisman. After confirming that the identity of the monk who came was indeed a superior cultivator of the Sword Sect, he returned the Vermilion Bird Sword Talisman to Yu Jichuan with both hands.

.

Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan were quickly welcomed into the main hall of the Qiu family.

"Please tell me the details of the source demon first." Ji Chuan sat in a high position and frowned.

Qiu Changqing spoke with a heavy face about the disaster of the Qiu family.

The source demon is a kind of demon beast that has been transformed by the death energy of the underworld. Generally speaking, it is not much different from ordinary demon beasts.

But there is something special about source demons. They swallow and absorb the death energy of the underworld. Therefore, the death energy of the underworld is to them like spiritual energy to monks. Once it leaves this place, it is like sourceless water.

It is precisely because of this that source monsters usually stay within the source area and are on equal terms with the human race.

The Origin is the name of that restricted area. Any area shrouded by the death energy of the underworld belongs to the Origin.

But just three months ago, some source demons left the source land and broke into Burial Ridge for unknown reasons.

What's even more strange is that the major families have gathered manpower to exterminate a group of source monsters, but there seems to be some treasure in the source stone orchid veins that can attract them.

The front hand had just finished wiping out a group of source demons, and the back hand immediately saw another group of source demons break out of the source land.

In this case, the major families are powerless.

"Does this matter have something to do with the Source Demon King?" Ji Chuan asked.

"It probably doesn't matter much," Qiu Changqing shook his head and explained: "Because these source monsters that leave the source area and invade the mineral veins are no more than fifth grade at most. For the source monster king, such a level thing is not worth it.

Mention, I guess it’s not what the Demon King is referring to.”

Lu Qingshan nodded silently.

We have reached a consensus with them on this point.

"When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Since it has nothing to do with the Origin Demon King," Ji Chuan paused, "then it is very likely that the person who caused the demon is from the underworld."

"The spiritual letter says that a descendant of your Qiu family saw an underworld demon cultivator leaving the Source Stone Orchid vein?" Ji Chuan asked again.

"Exactly." Qiu Changqing nodded.

"Can you summon this collateral descendant to come up for questioning?"

"Shangxiu, please wait a moment. I'll call her over right now." Qiu Changqing was very cooperative and immediately called the servant and whispered a few instructions.

A quarter of an hour later.

"Master, we have arrived."

A young female nun lowered her head and followed the house slave into the main hall.

The moment they saw the female cultivator, Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan looked at each other with unclear meanings in their eyes.

Because, this descendant of the Qiu family who had witnessed the traces of the demonic cultivator in the underworld could be regarded as a half acquaintance of theirs.
