When she arrived, she didn't even see a warm body.

The terrain of this stronghold is not complicated. After entering the entrance, there is a huge cave hall.

What caught the eye were the corpses of many monks, both those from the righteous path and those from the evil path.

"Hey, why do I have to come in and take a look? I can actually stay out until the demon-slaying operation is over and then go back directly."

Before setting off, Luo Xueqing was filled with joy, wanting to slay demons and defend the Way. She wanted to find an opponent who was her equal, or slightly stronger, and then have a hearty fight with them.

But she encountered something unexpected on the way and learned that those people from Jianya Palace might be here to kill her, so she lost interest in this operation.

The rest is probably just killing time and then going home from work.

Ultimately, it was out of curiosity. I wanted to see if there were any demon cultivators here who were worth fighting.

But as she walked along, she only saw corpses.

Finally spotting someone fighting ahead, she quietly crept over, only to discover they were disciples of Jianya Hall. Fortunately, Gongsun Shu and the other seven direct disciples weren't among them.

But they're probably nearby.

To be safe, Luo Xueqing used an invisibility talisman.

Then she turned a corner and soon met Gongsun Shu and her three junior brothers and sisters.

If she had only encountered Gongsun Shu, she might have considered a surprise attack. But since this woman wanted to kill her anyway, there was no need for her to show mercy.

But since there are four people on the other side, she has to think carefully.

At this time, Gongsun Shu and the other three were fighting with two Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators.

Although there were less than seven of them, they cooperated well and after they used the Demon-Slaying Sword Formation, the two demon cultivators both fell.

Seeing this, Luo Xueqing did not stay long. She left from the other fork in the road.

But before they had gone far, the ground beneath their feet began to shake.

earthquake?

Sand and gravel continued to fall from the top of the cave, and tiny cracks spread on the walls.

She quickly searched for the earth escape talisman in her storage ring.

However, before she could even take out the talisman, a wide crack had already stretched to the bottom of her feet. She felt as if her legs had separated on their own, even though she hadn't moved her feet.

Looking down, I saw that a long crack had appeared here without me noticing.

……

"Hahaha! I'm lucky to have so many people buried with me today." A young demon cultivator with disheveled hair laughed wildly.

He is the chief steward of the Xueluomen stronghold here, and possesses the strength of a peak Nascent Soul stage.

Yet, he was now alone, facing a vast coalition of righteous forces. Among them were at least seven Nascent Soul cultivators. Even if their cultivation levels were all lower than his, combined with the sheer number of cannon fodder, they could easily crush him.

The young demon cultivator was seriously injured. Not long ago, he had taken away a sword cultivator, but the other party stabbed his stomach before he died, and his intestines were leaking out.

Trapped in a situation where the enemy outnumbered him, he knew he was doomed. Fortunately, this situation had been anticipated when this stronghold was first established. A large number of underworld fire mines had been deployed here long ago, and once activated, they would explode into a catastrophic blast.

“Boom boom boom!~”

Many monks who did not have time to escape were affected by the explosion. Even if they were not killed, they were crushed by the collapsed cave.

After a period of chaos, both the righteous and evil sides suffered heavy losses.

When Luo Xueqing crawled out of a pile of earth and rocks, she found that she was no longer in the cave.

The soil in the cave where the Blood Luomen stronghold was previously located was relatively soft and a bit damp, and the walls were covered with mud mixed with granite.

However, the place we are in now is a cave made entirely of rock.

She subconsciously looked up and saw a hemispherical dome with cracks all over it. She fell in through one of the cracks.

Her gaze shifted to the side, and she saw a bottomless chasm next to it. The platform she was on was about ten feet long and three feet wide.

The chasm below stretched to who knows where, and how wide it was. She probed her spiritual sense into it, but could not find the bottom.

The chasm looked like the mouth of a gigantic monster, and her intuition told her that it must be dangerous below. She subconsciously moved towards the side of the platform that was closest to the wall.

This seems to be a dark underground cave without any light source.

Although she could use her spiritual sense to detect the surrounding terrain, she was still not used to not being able to see anything.

Fortunately, she had a talisman that could be used for lighting.

As she took out a talisman and injected spiritual power into it to activate it, the talisman paper began to emit a warm white light, illuminating the dark world.

However, it would have been better if she hadn't lit up the talisman. After she lit it up, some creatures in the darkness approached her like sharks smelling blood.

The first to appear was a psychic creature that resembled a manta ray.

The body of this creature is translucent blue, and its mouth is wide open, revealing a row of sharp razor-like fangs.

When it rushed over, Luo Xueqing felt the malice of this creature.

With a single upward slash from her Flying Snow Sword, she split it in two. These creatures didn't leave behind corpses after being slain, but instead decomposed into glowing dust that gradually dissipated.

The individual strength of this creature is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and it is just a small fish or shrimp to her.

However, if there are too many small fish and shrimps like this, it will be disgusting.

These spiritual manta rays kept emerging from the darkness and launched suicidal attacks on her.

Although she chopped off a large number of enemies with one sword, these malicious creatures kept coming to her, making her very annoyed.

Later she also noticed that these things were not attacking her, but trying to bite off her left hand holding the illuminating talisman.

After a hard battle that lasted about a cup of tea, she had killed more than two thousand such monsters.

"No more?" After waiting for a while, no new spiritual creatures appeared, and she finally had some time to catch her breath.

"What the hell is this place?"

It can be seen that this should be located underground.

However, it was the first time she had seen such a strange creature, and she couldn't help but feel curious.

She felt that the concentration of spiritual energy here was very high, especially where the manta ray-like creature died.

The darkness around her made her feel uneasy. At this moment, she could have crushed the teleportation talisman and returned to Yaohua Palace.

But she still wanted to confirm what happened outside. It seemed like a big explosion had just happened, and she didn't know what had happened to those righteous disciples.

Luo Xueqing first flew towards the dome, intending to see if she could follow the cracks she had found before. However, she discovered that the cracks had already closed and were filled with a large amount of sand.

She was ready to use the earth escape talisman again in the next chapter.

But something unexpected happened, and before she could take out the talisman paper, a distant whale song came from the distance.

whale?

The whale song was extremely far away, but it echoed over and over again in the deep underground rift valley.

The whale song was ethereal and long, as if it came from ancient times, and it seemed to shock even her soul.

Soon, she heard the second whale song, but this time the sound was much closer.

Although a lot of words were said, in fact, this happened in a very short period of time.

She was about to touch the storage ring, but before she touched the ring, the second whale song was heard.

The released spiritual consciousness touched a huge creature, which made Luo Xueqing shudder.

Although the light source in her hand seemed very small compared to the entire rift valley, this small range of light was also one of her few sources of security.

However, the creature that her spiritual sense touched was too big. It was a whale-like creature.

When Luo Xueqing's gaze passed through the edge of the light and saw a hazy outline rushing towards her not far away, she realized that danger was never far away from her.

What rushed towards them was none other than the whale's massive, abyssal maw.

The mouth was about tens of feet wide, and inside was a dark world like a bottomless pit.

what happened?

There is no water here, how can there be whales?

Hmm? This whale is also a spiritual being.

"Ah!~"

The woman's screams echoed in the underground rift for a long time.

……

Zhao Kangping saw a place that looked like a factory at the end of the secret passage under the sewer.

But here are rows of large alchemy furnaces.

It can be seen that there must have been a group of alchemists making pills here before.

But the problem is that there is something wrong with the materials used for alchemy here.

On the other side of the alchemy furnace area, there were rows of things that looked like operating tables, on which lay people with their hands and feet tied.

Live people.

"What kind of unorthodox elixir is this?"

After they came out of the passage, they hid in a corner. Dongfang Jingrou saw the very bloody scene here and had such a question.

There are people here who actually use living people as materials to make pills.

The sarcoma monster that Zhao Kangping had discovered earlier seemed to be the result of those materials being rescued by someone and then being parasitized by the sarcoma given by the other party.

In the past, those who were used as materials were definitely victims, but now the roles have been reversed.

After transforming into half-human, half-ghost creatures filled with revenge and resentment, these tumorous monsters began to slaughter the alchemists here.

Many alchemists who were not good at fighting were slaughtered on the spot, and the scene was once very chaotic.

However, some alchemists also possessed some cultivation, though generally not at a high level. Both sides suffered casualties, and while the alchemists suffered more, the actual combat power of the tumorous monsters was still greater. Therefore, after they engaged in a fierce battle, they reached a stalemate for a while.

Such a big change naturally alarmed the important figures stationed here.

When that person appeared, Zhao Kangping and Dongfang Jingrou, who were hiding in the dark, were stunned.

Because that person looked almost exactly like He Weiyuan, just a little younger.

"I know who he is." Dongfang Jingrou conveyed the message to Zhao Kangping.

The latter also looked at her.

The woman didn't hesitate and immediately told him the answer: "He is He Weiyuan's younger brother Xue Hongchang."

They are obviously brothers, but they have different surnames.

Speaking of which, we have to mention their father, the son-in-law of the Xue family.

As mentioned before, this son-in-law diligently managed certain businesses for the Xue family. He also made many contributions to the Xue family. Therefore, the Xue family specially allowed the second son born to him and his wife to take his surname He.

This is a favor to the son-in-law named He, but it also means that He Weiyuan cannot obtain the same level of resources as the children of the Xue family.

But He Weiyuan worked hard to make a name for himself, and later he established the He family.

In fact, He Weiyuan received a lot of help from his father and brothers in the process of building his family.

He Weiyuan has a younger brother. The two brothers have a good relationship because they don't fight over the family property.

Over time, Xue Hongchang also became involved in some of He Weiyuan's affairs.

For example, this secret underground alchemy workshop.

As soon as Xue Hongchang appeared, he unleashed a pressure of the middle Nascent Soul stage, and those humanoid monsters stopped their movements.

With his participation, the monsters were quickly suppressed, and the alchemists gradually gained the upper hand.

Just at this moment, a tall monster rushed out from the passage on the other side.

The monster looked like a patchwork of multiple people. Its shape was a bit like a spider, but its eight legs were actually human legs twisted together like a twisted rope.

There were eight women's faces on the back of the spider monster, and they were shouting different words, which sounded particularly creepy.

"I don't want to receive any guests."

"Man, get out of here."

"Dad, don't sell me~"
