One joke from the witch, I open the gate of heaven with one sword

Chapter 26 Remnants of the Demon Sect
Outside Qingzhou City,

After disguising, Xu Lan and Chen Ci rode horses along the official road. According to the location of the mine marked on the map, it was about 100 kilometers away from Qingzhou.

After an hour,

Xu Lan and Chen Ci stopped, and the location of the ore lode was in the forest in front of them.

“Smell of blood all around”

Xu Lan and Chen Ci stopped at the same time and looked at each other to see the surprise in their eyes.

After reaching the first realm, everyone's five senses have been greatly improved,
Naturally, the faint smell of blood in the air around them couldn't be hidden from the two of them.

"There are still horseshoe prints on the ground. It seems that someone came one step ahead of us."

Xu Lan jumped off the horse and squatted down to take a look at the horse's hoof prints on the official road, with some suspicions in his mind.

"Are you from the Sun family?"

When Chen Ci looked around, his nose moved slightly, trying to find the source of the bloody smell.

"Probably not."

Xu Lan shook her head. If the Sun family wanted to forcibly occupy this mine vein, there was no need to send a housekeeper to wait for him for two days.

"The Qian family spent a lot of effort on this mineral vein, and even did not hesitate to compete with the Sun family. Although they did not mine it immediately after obtaining it, they will definitely send some people to stay here to garrison."

Xu Lan calmly analyzed: "This place is more than 100 kilometers away from Qingzhou, and the round trip is quite time-consuming. They probably don't know that the Qian family has been destroyed."

"Then what do you mean"

Chen Ci thought for a while before continuing: "Is there a third party who rushed here after the Qian family was wiped out and killed the others?"

"Well, the horseshoe prints on the ground are extremely messy, and there are a lot of them."

Xu Lan said calmly: "The most important point is that the horseshoe prints here are all going in the same direction, but not in the opposite direction."

"Which group of people are still in the mine?"

Chen Ci's eyes tightened, if so, it would also verify Xu Lan's previous conjecture.

The importance of this vein is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"If you guessed correctly, they should still be there."

Xu Lan stood up, patted the dust on his palms and smiled, "Maybe we are still old friends."

old friend.
Chen Ci was taken aback at first, then his eyes widened as if he had thought of something.

"A member of the Demon Cult?!"

Chen Ci subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of his sword. If the Demon Cult was involved in this incident, then the nature would change.

"If I'm not mistaken, the reason why the Qian family wants to take over this mine vein is most likely as a bargaining chip in the deal with the Demon Sect."

Xu Lan nodded and said, "And the Sun family is also interested in this vein because of Sun Hongying."

For a woman who has returned from studying abroad since she was a child, it is hard not to suspect that she has some kind of special ability or means.

There is a high probability that Sun Hongying also knew the special features of this vein, so she tried her best to obtain it.

"I'll go back and find someone."

As the matter was related to the Devil's Cult, it would be better to let the people in the yamen handle it.

"This place is some distance away from Qingzhou, and it will take two hours to go back and forth."

Xu Lan smiled and said, "It will be dark by the time you finally gather your people and come here again, so you will startle the snakes at that time."

There was another reason he didn't say.

That is to ask Chen Ci to return to Qingzhou Yamen to find someone, which will inevitably alarm the Sun family.

"but"

Chen Ci frowned slightly. Could it be possible to let this group of Devil Cult traitors run away?

"You and I work together, that's enough."

Xu Lan said slowly: "Unless there are practitioners of the four realms among this group of people."

Hearing the words, Chen Ci was silent for a few seconds and then said: "Okay, if you really meet a practitioner of the four realms, just run, I'm sure to hold on."

"it is good."

Xu Lan was not surprised when he saw this, he guessed that Chen Ci's identity was not simple.

There must be some tricks in her body to keep things under control. Even if she encounters a practitioner of the Four Realms who cannot be defeated, she can still run away.

Then the two walked forward step by step in the direction of the bloody smell. After walking about a hundred steps, Xu Lan felt that the bloody smell became stronger and stronger.

"Their bodies were buried."

Xu Lan saw traces of turning over the soil under his feet, and the source of the bloody smell was here.

"It seems that there are quite a few people who died."

Chen Ci looked around and found a tent on the left, which should be the stronghold of these people.

"There's no one here."

Xu Lan carefully sensed that there was no trace of other people's breath near the tent, and finally his sight fell on a hole tens of meters away from the tent.

There is the entrance of the mine vein, and there are countless waste rocks piled up beside it.

Seeing this, Xu Lan and Chen Ci looked at each other and confirmed one thing at the same time.

In fact, the Qian family has already mined this vein, but it has not been announced to the public.

"They should all go in."

Xu Lan and Chen Ci approached and found that there were many messy footprints at the entrance. These footprints were of different shades, giving the impression that they carried something in.

"Looks like they've been mining for a while."

Chen Ci visually inspected the amount of these waste rocks around him, and inferred in his heart that at least half a month ago, he had started to mine this place.

"Go in and take a look."

Xu Lan is now more and more curious about what is hidden in this seemingly ordinary ore vein.

"Be careful."

Chen Ci opened his mouth to remind,
The terrain inside the mine is complex and extremely unfamiliar, so the two of them must proceed with caution.

Then the two entered the mine vein one after the other, and after a short period of adaptation, the two easily adapted to the dim vision inside.

The two walked by like this,
After walking in for about half a stick of incense, Chen Ci, who was walking in the front, stopped.

At this time, there were bursts of footsteps in front of him, and Chen Ci slowly stretched out two fingers, indicating that there were two people.

Xu Lan nodded and then stood apart from Chen Ci, one on the left and one on the right, holding her breath and waiting quietly.

In the next second, the two figures in front gradually approached,

Xu Lan and Chen Ci drew their swords almost at the same time, and the two sword lights disappeared in the dim cave in the blink of an eye.

The two corpses fell quietly, and Xu Lan took advantage of the opportunity to find something similar to a token on them.

Passing the token to Chen Ci, she carefully identified it and wanted to speak, but she was afraid of alarming others.

Then motioned Xu Lan to stretch out his palm, and then wrote a few words on his palm.

"Devil's Token."

Xu Lan nodded, motioning to move on.

Soon the two came to the end of this passage, and a little fire came from the corner in front of them, which cheered them up.

Then the scene in front of them surprised them.
The people of the Devil's Cult actually forcibly dug a deep pit in the depths of this mine vein, and built a building similar to an altar here.
