Ningguang came over, looked at Qingluan with heartache, and reminded her again.

Everyone hurriedly worked together to open the cave. Lishui was the last one to come. He observed carefully for a while, and after confirming that no monsters followed, he closed the grass and trees at the entrance of the cave.

The cave is not damp, but instead has a fragrance.

There were a lot of star spirit grasses that had lost their spiritual energy scattered on the ground, as well as some half-eaten fruits.

In addition, there are some spiritual medicines whose spiritual energy has not yet dissipated.

It looks like Qingluan found the food herself.

No one thought of taking it away because it belonged to Qingluan.

But Qingluan flew to Klee and gently pecked Klee's space ring.

Klee looked at Qingluan in confusion, and the latter turned around and looked at Ganyu.

Gan Yu immediately understood Qing Luan's meaning and said softly:

"You want Kelly to pack these things up."

Qingluan nodded quickly and chirped a few times.

It was just the clear chirping of birds, but Ganyu understood what Qingluan meant.

He rubbed Qingluan's head and said softly:

"You don't recognize me as your master. We are partners. Your things are still your things."

"But I'm going to take you away from here later. Please ask Ke Li to keep these things for you. I'll return them to you after we get out, okay?"

The blue phoenix chirped briskly, then landed on Ganyu's shoulder and rubbed her.

After Keli collected the scattered spiritual medicines, everyone continued to go deeper inside.

The road inside the cave was a bit winding, but not difficult to walk on. The more they walked, the more they felt that it must have been specially polished by someone.

Qingluan was very familiar with this place, and soon led everyone deeper into it through twists and turns.

However, as they walked, everyone suddenly saw a faint light shining deep in the cave.

"First seat?"

Xiao was a little wary and moved closer to Zhongli.

"Trust Qingluan."

Zhongli shook his head helplessly. Even if there was danger inside, he couldn't escape now that he was here.

He has not recovered much of his true energy now, and he also has internal injuries, so he is really unable to fight.

Qingluan flew to the door, turned around and called out to everyone a few times. Everyone no longer hesitated and strode in.

The next moment, my eyes lit up and the space suddenly became clear.

The fluorescent light almost lit up the entire cave, making it seem like daytime in this cave without sunlight.

The space here is not big, just slightly larger than the Qun Yu Pavilion.

But not far away, there was a thatched house that looked a bit dilapidated.

The door of the thatched hut was slightly open, and the rich fluorescent light burst out from it.

An extremely rich spiritual energy instantly flowed into everyone's body as soon as everyone stepped into this space.

Wendy's face changed slightly, and she whispered:

"It's a spirit gathering array, and it's of a very high level!"

"Watch the door."

Alice signaled everyone with her eyes, and everyone looked in the direction Alice was looking, and they were suddenly shocked.

There were no less than a dozen spirit stones scattered in various corners of the ground at the door.

They are all high-quality and medium-quality spiritual stones.

The fluorescent light was emanating from it. Judging from the situation, there were more spirit stones in the room.

In this space, apart from the thatched hut, there is only a sloppy bird's nest on top of the hut.

It seems that Qingluan lives here.

Gan Yu looked at Qing Luan and whispered:

"Qingluan, can we go in and take a look?"

Qingluan didn't answer, but her eyes suddenly became a little complicated.

After a while, it chirped softly, then flew up on its own and landed on the bird's nest.

"Qingluan..."

For some reason, Ganyu noticed that Qingluan didn't seem to be in a very good mood and she seemed very sad.

"I come."

Xiao volunteered, holding the Hepu Kite and carefully groping towards the thatched hut.

The expected formations did not appear, and everything was very dull.

Not long after, Xiao arrived at the door of the thatched hut. Ignoring the spiritual stones on the ground, Xiao carefully used the Hepu Kite to push open the wooden door.

After seeing the situation inside clearly, Xiao was stunned.

"elf?"

Zhongli, who was leaning against a rock, shouted with some concern.

Xiao came back to his senses and said quickly:

"I'm fine! Chief! Everyone! Come quickly, there is a human skeleton here!"

Skeleton?

Or human?!

He was a former disciple of Mount Shu!

Everyone was shocked and hurried to the thatched hut.

Xiao opened the wooden door wide and everyone rushed in.

Just as Xiao said, opposite the thatched hut, there was a skeleton of what looked to be a medium build sitting cross-legged.

I don’t know what realm this cultivator is in, but his bones are as white as jade and he even emits a faint white light.

There were densely packed spirit stones scattered on the ground, and at a glance, it was estimated that there were at least thousands of them.

There was also a backpack next to it that looked a bit worn out, and one of the jade talismans inside was a bit dim.

There was also a space ring on the skeleton's finger, and a disciple token of strange texture on the ground.

Zhong Li felt a little nervous. He stood up with difficulty and picked up the token.

After gently wiping off the dust and seeing the font clearly, Zhongli's expression suddenly became complicated.

"Longshou Peak disciples..."

"what?!"

Xiao was a little surprised. He took a closer look and sure enough, the font above was exactly the same as his, but the texture of the token was a little strange.

"This is the former senior from Longshou Peak. I don't know why he died here..."

Zhongli felt a little uncomfortable. Looking at the skeleton in front of him, he always felt uncomfortable.

"Old man, look at his chest!"

Wendy keenly sensed that something was wrong with the skeleton.

The bones on the outside are as white as jade, but the inside is frighteningly black and covered with all kinds of terrible cracks.

Even through the holes in the skull's eyes, you can see the evil runes inside his head.

Gan Yu frowned slightly, feeling that this was what Jiang Yan had said when he was giving her special treatment.

After recalling for a moment, he was shocked:

"This is the Soul-Eating Curse!"

"what?!"

Everyone looked at Ganyu with some confusion.

"¨` The headmaster once told me that this is an extremely evil technique in the world of immortal cultivation."

"If the curse cannot be removed, the victim will spend forty-nine days in agony as the power of the soul burns."

"I watched my body rot and my consciousness disintegrate before I died."

"Even after death, the soul will be trapped in the curse. After thousands of years of living, it will decay and dissipate along with the corpse."

"This is an extremely vicious technique!"

After hearing this, everyone felt a chill all over their bodies when they looked at the skeleton again.

Then, I felt an unprecedented anger.

Zhongli slammed the ground hard and said with suppressed anger:

"Killing is not the right path! Why are you so vicious?!"

"Old man, in this Nine Nether Secret Realm, the only creatures that can be so heartless and master such magic are probably monsters."

Wendy also shook her head sadly.

After arriving at the Jiuyou Secret Realm, the cruelty of the world of immortal cultivation was revealed before them.

To be honest, Wendy has lived for so long and has never seen a place more vicious than the world of immortal cultivation.

For a moment, everyone didn't know how to express their feelings when facing this skeleton.

“Come and look here!”

Suddenly, Alice pointed at the wall behind the skeleton.

Everyone walked over the skeleton and moved closer.

Those were some incomprehensible words, carved entirely in blood, so deeply embedded in the text that a feeling of sadness and despair instantly flooded into everyone's mind.

Subconsciously, everyone seemed to see a seriously injured and dying Shushan monk who carved these words in blood with great hatred.

Zhongli raised his hand and gently pressed the words. The power spanning hundreds of years transmitted the information in the words into his mind.

Zhongli seemed to see what happened here in the past.

The Shushan disciple's body was covered with festering wounds and he looked extremely scary.

 (Got it) I bit my fingers with difficulty and wrote these last words word by word.

Zhongli recited it subconsciously.

"Dear Shushan ancestors, sect leader, and master, this is the last words of Xuanxing, a disciple of Longshou Peak."

"I was reckless and disobeyed Master's orders. After being seriously injured, I insisted on continuing to explore the Nine Netherworlds. In the end, I met with disaster. This situation is all because I underestimated the enemy and acted rashly."

"But I have no regrets, because Junior Sister Xuan Xiao was killed by a villain with the Thirteen Soul-Shocking Curse. Junior Sister is in extreme danger, how can I sit back and do nothing?"

"In the Nine Netherworlds, there is Soul-Condensing Grass that grows in the forbidden area of ​​the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain Range. Disciple must go there to make his way."

"Thanks to the favor of the Tao, I was able to obtain it. However, Xuanxing was careless and was harmed by the demon king Qingfengniu, and was cursed by his soul-devouring curse."

"I feel powerless to save the situation, so I ask my two junior brothers Xuanming and Xuanqing to bring the Soul-Condensing Grass back."

"After a bitter fight, Qingfeng Niu was seriously injured by my disciple, but my end is coming soon."

"The death of a disciple is a minor matter, but the life of a junior sister is a major matter."

"Master, I, the unfilial disciple Xuanxing, will write my last words today. Xuanxing has failed Master's high expectations and will not be able to fulfill my filial duties in the future."

"However, Xuanxing has no regrets. Master always says that all Shushan disciples are brothers and sisters and relatives."

"If Xuan Xing is cold-blooded and ruthless and unwilling to fight when his loved ones are in trouble, what is the point of cultivating the immortal path?"

"Humanity is insignificant, and friendship is three thousand."
