Chapter 154 Enemies meet
Suddenly, a faint "creaking" sound came from the dark, dense forest.
A short while later, a burly man with a thick beard emerged from the woods with seven or eight other men and came to a small earthen mound.
Ding Yi waved his hand, and the spies who were waiting there got up from their hiding places and quickly came to Ding Yi's side.
"After I left, did anyone come out?"
"No, in response to the Lord."
The scout said with absolute certainty.
"Wang Lin, rush towards this earthen slope."
Ding Yi pointed to the earthen slope in front of him and suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Wang Lin's expression changed drastically. Although he didn't know why, thinking of Ding Yi's methods, he gritted his teeth, drew his long sword, and charged towards the earthen slope.
Just as he was about to hit the earthen slope, Wang Lin suddenly felt the light and shadow in front of him dim, and he instantly entered a dark passage.
"This is?"
Looking at the deep passage before him, Wang Lin felt a chill run down his spine. After a moment's thought, he turned and charged back again.
The next moment, Wang Lin's figure reappeared outside the earthen slope, still in the charging posture.
Upon seeing this, Ding Yi immediately asked:
"How about it?"
Wang Lin, being a seasoned veteran, understood immediately after a moment's thought and said:
“Elephant Lord, this is an illusion created by external evil. There is a passage inside the earthen slope, but we don’t know where it leads.”
"Ah."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi nodded slightly, thinking to himself that Wang Lin hadn't faced any danger going in or out, and that the passage was probably still some distance from the true stronghold of the Blood and Flesh Temple.
Thinking of this, Ding Yi slowly walked to the front of the earthen slope and gently touched it with his hand. He found that the place he touched was solid and did not seem like an illusion at all.
"Heh, it seems we need to reach a certain speed to get in. Interesting."
Ding Yi chuckled, then moved swiftly, disappearing instantly into the earthen slope.
Seeing this, his men looked at each other for a moment before all of them rushed toward the earthen slope.
Soon, the passageway was filled with people.
Ding Yi looked at the dark place ahead of the passage, then made a hand gesture. The others understood and drew their swords.
At the same time, they took out cotton from their pockets and tied it to the soles of their feet, and then the group quickly walked forward.
At this moment, in the Temple of the Three Saints.
Inside the hall, Chi Yunzi, He Yangzi, and Zhen Yangzi were sitting cross-legged on the ground, cultivating with their eyes closed.
Beneath them, a continuous stream of malevolent energy rose up, enveloping them.
Within the Blood and Flesh Temple, there are four generations: Ji Yang Yun Tian. Although He Yang Zi and Zhen Yang Zi are both of the same generation as Chi Yun Zi, they have not yet reached the Divine Mansion Realm. This shows that the Blood and Flesh Temple is currently facing a generational gap.
Behind the main hall, there were several dark caves.
These caves held several emaciated ordinary people, and there were probably dozens of such caves, meaning that there were at least a hundred unfortunate men who had been captured from the official road.
Suddenly, He Yangzi, who was in the very center, slightly opened his eyes and said:
Why am I uneasy? I fear something terrible is about to happen.
“Senior brother, we have only been here for a little over a month. Although there are many experts in Baihe City, I think it is unlikely that we can find this place.”
After pondering for a moment, Zhenyangzi, who was standing next to him, slowly spoke.
"Unfortunately, the temple is nearly depleted of its manpower. If only my poor disciples Baiyunzi and Qingyunzi were still here..."
He Yangzi sighed as he said this.
"According to Guiying, it was a constable named Li Baozheng who did it?"
Zhenyangzi also sighed.
"No matter who did it, I can't avenge them now, I can only remember it."
He Yangzi shook his head, about to say something, when suddenly his brows furrowed and his eyes fixed on the darkness ahead.
"somebody is coming!"
The three of them stood up at the same time, their Taoist robes fluttering, and their terrifying internal energy merged into one, spreading out like a vast ocean.
The next moment, more than a dozen steel needles suddenly appeared from the darkness and shot towards them.
Despite the sneak attack of flying needles, the three men's expressions remained unchanged. In fact, those who had survived to this day were all veterans of countless battles.
He Yangzi simply clenched his hand forward, and before the steel needles could even get close, they were scattered by an invisible force, falling to the ground with a crisp sound.
At the same time, shouts rang out from all directions as several burly men in tight-fitting clothes swiftly climbed down the rock face, yelling "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Although He Yangzi below was somewhat surprised, he narrowed his eyes and realized that the newcomers were nothing more than martial artists who had refined internal organs. A sinister smile immediately appeared on his lips:
"A mere few martial artists who have mastered internal organ cultivation dare to trespass into the Three Saints Hall. They are truly courting death. We happen to be short a few more assassins, so we'll use you to fill the gaps!"
After saying that, He Yangzi's body soared upwards, flying up to the top of the cliff at an eerie speed. He gripped the bottom of the rock face with one hand in a claw shape, then grinned maliciously at the people in front of him.
"I really want to know, who gave it to you...?"
Before He Yangzi could finish speaking, a hand suddenly emerged from the rock wall beside him and struck him hard on the head with a loud "thud".
He Yangzi plummeted from the sky like a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
Upon seeing this, Zhenyangzi was stunned for a moment, but reacted extremely quickly. He patted the scabbard behind him, and the longsword flew up automatically like a serpent and sprang into his hand.
The old Taoist priest glided to where He Yangzi had fallen in a flash, and with a horizontal slash of his long sword, he deflected all the flying needles that had followed He Yangzi, which landed on the stone walls on both sides, making a "clinking" sound.
"Who dares to ambush me?!"
Unexpectedly, a loud shout rang out from the smoke and dust, and the warriors on the stone wall all roared with laughter:
"It's your grandfather, Li Baozheng!!"
"It's your grandfather, Li Baozheng!!"
Upon hearing the name, He Yangzi was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes instantly turned blood red.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
He Yangzi's body was filled with unrestrained qi, which broke his hairpin. His white hair flew wildly in the air with the qi, making him look like a demon.
Ding Yi, who was stuck to the stone wall, was also somewhat surprised to see this scene.
He originally intended to have everyone around him shout Li Baozheng's name to disrupt the minds of those worshipping the gods, but he didn't expect it to be so effective.
"Could it be that Li Baozheng has really made a name for himself in Qingfeng County?"
A thought flashed through Ding Yi's mind, but he didn't think about it in detail. Instead, he took advantage of He Yangzi's madness and suddenly jumped down, rushing towards him.
"Li Baozheng!! I want you dead!!"
He Yangzi saw a dark figure descend from the sky, suddenly tear off his shirt, revealing a human face.
Unlike the faces of Qingyunzi and the others that we saw before, this face had very clear features, and its eyes were slightly open, revealing a sliver of red light under its eyelids.
"Certainly!!"
A strange sound suddenly came from the human face, and then a strange ripple spread out instantly, covering an area of tens of meters.
Ding Yi rushed down and crashed into the ripples. He felt as if the air around him had solidified, and his whole body felt as if he had entered a sticky swamp. His speed actually slowed down.
"Got you!!"
He Yangzi's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Ding Yi, who had suddenly frozen in mid-air, and let out a chilling laugh.
