Chapter 266 Ancient Palace
An hour later. ‘6’‘9’‘s’‘h’‘u’‘x’‘.’‘c’‘o’‘m’
Zuo Shuiyun came to Song Wen’s cave.
“Junior Brother Wu, excuse me for interrupting you. I have something to discuss with you.”
Song Wen removed the formation, walked out of the cave, and asked.
“Senior Sister Zuo, are you ready to leave and return to the sect?”
Zuo Shuiyun shook her head.
“I have realized something and decided to stay here for a while. I came to tell you that if you are anxious to return to the sect, you can return alone first.”
Zuo Shuiyun had just tried to sign a soul contract with the blood demon, but it was not smooth. Even though the blood demon was seriously injured, the soul contract still failed.
This made her realize that it is not so easy to subdue the blood demon.
There is a reason why Cheng Ruida spent so much effort to refine the blood puppet refining pill.
It is necessary to let the blood demon take the blood puppet refining pill first to weaken the blood demon’s intelligence before there is a slight possibility of successfully signing the soul contract.
This matter is not convenient to complete in the Beast Taming Sect.
Therefore, she decided to return to the Beast Taming Sect after subduing the blood demon.
Song Wen frowned and thought after hearing this.
Just now, he had searched Cheng Ruida's soul.
He learned that eight years ago, Cheng Ruida got the ancient ruins of the blood curse.
The ancient ruins are not far from here, only ten thousand miles away.
There are clues about the God Blood Sect in the ancient ruins. The God Blood Sect is related to the "Corpse King Blood Refining Technique". Song Wen wants to go and explore.
Song Wen said, "I have some private matters to deal with, and I don't plan to return to the sect immediately."
Zuo Shuiyun's eyes lit up, "How long will it take for Junior Brother Wu to deal with private matters?"
"At least half a month, at most one month." Song Wen made up a lie.
"Then how about you and I meet here after one month and return to the sect together?"
Zuo Shuiyun estimated that in one month, the blood demon should be subdued.
Song Wen nodded, "Okay, I'll come here to find my senior sister in a month."
After saying that, Song Wen flew away on his flying sword, and disappeared in an instant.
Zuo Shuiyun looked at Song Wen's departing back until Song Wen's figure completely disappeared in the sky, and then she slowly retracted her gaze.
She frowned and pondered for a long time.
The eyes gradually became firm.
Zuo Shuiyun flashed and flew into the cave.
......
One day later.
In a valley surrounded by mountains.
The spiritual energy here is thin, desolate and remote. There are no cultivators, no mortals, and even no powerful monsters.
According to Cheng Ruida's memory, the entrance to the ancient monument is in the valley.
Pressing down the sword light, Song Wen came to the bottom of the valley.
A deep cave washed out by rain appeared in front of Song Wen.
The entrance of the cave is not big, only about three feet, vertically downward, and it is pitch black.
Although there is no danger in the cave in Cheng Ruida's memory, Song Wen did not enter rashly.
Song Wen probed his spiritual consciousness into the deep cave.
The cave was very deep, extending vertically downward for more than a thousand meters, and behind it was a wide underground cave.
The cave covered an area of more than a hundred acres and was crossed by an underground river.
The water in the underground river was turbulent, as if a giant python was shuttling underground.
The river water rolled, carrying mud and stones, and from time to time rolled up whirlpools, and the undercurrent surged.
The two holy armored Gu vibrated their wings and flew into the deep cave. After confirming once again that there was no danger in the underground cave, Song Wen jumped in.
Entering the underground cave, Song Wen flew to the top of a stone wall. The stone wall was a hundred meters high, severely eroded, and uneven.
There was a cave on the stone wall, one foot square.
At the beginning, Cheng Ruida and a friend came here, and it was in this cave that they found a skeleton.
The owner of the skeleton had been dead for many years, but the skeleton had not weathered and decayed.
Cheng Ruida concluded that the flesh before the skeleton was extremely strong, so the corpse could resist the erosion of time, and the skeleton remained intact after many years of death.
On the right index finger of the skeleton, there was an ancient storage ring.
When Cheng Ruida saw the storage ring for the first time, he determined that there must be an ancient secret treasure in it, so he had a bad idea and attacked and killed his friend.
But he was also seriously injured by his friend's desperate attack before his death.
What disappointed Cheng Ruida was that at the cost of serious injuries, there was no magic weapon in the storage ring, but there were quite a few elixirs and spiritual stones, but they were all weathered into a pile of powder without spiritual energy due to the long time.
He only got the token that recorded the blood curse.
After carefully exploring the cave and this stone wall, Song Wen did not find anything useful.
He lowered his body and landed steadily on the ground of the cave, with a thick layer of gravel of different sizes under his feet.
These rubbles should have been washed here from upstream by the underground river during the flood.
In some places not covered by rubbles, you can see that the ground is paved with neat boulders.
This is enough to show that this underground cave was not formed naturally, but was built by humans.
It's just that time is too long, and everything has changed.
Song Wen explored the entire cave several times, but did not find more.
There was no exit like a stone door, nor any secret passage. If there was no cave entrance washed out by rain, this place would be a completely closed space.
This made him somewhat disappointed. He came here from afar, thinking that he could find clues to "Corpse King Blood Refining", but he found nothing.
The only place Song Wen did not explore was the underground river.
Just when Song Wen was considering whether to leave or stay, the cave floor, which was piled with countless rubble, suddenly lit up with a green light.
Song Wen was immediately shocked. Before he could activate his flying sword and fly away, he felt dizzy.
Then, the green light disappeared, and Song Wen disappeared into the underground cave.
......
In an unknown depth underground, there is a huge underground hall.
In the center of this hall, there is an ancient hall.
This hall is built of countless huge stones, and each stone is full of traces of time.
On the stone door and walls of the hall, there are some ancient and strange patterns carved, which emit a faint light in the dim cave.
In front of the hall, there is a square.
Around the square, there are thirteen statues of ten feet high.
These sculptures are all human-shaped, but they have wings on their backs, fangs in their mouths, hideous faces, and distorted shapes.
Opposite the hall, a waterfall pours down from the top of the cave, the water is surging, and the sound is deafening.
Below the waterfall is a bottomless pool, leading to nowhere, swallowing up all the water from above.
On the square.
Three teams are facing each other in a tense confrontation.
The largest team has eight people in total, wearing the same green clothes, and it is obvious that they are from a certain immortal cultivation family.
The smallest team has only four people, wearing cassocks, with scars on their shiny heads, and they are Buddhist and Taoist monks.
The other team has six people in total, with messy clothes, and they are casual cultivators.
All the people present have shown their cultivation level is the foundation building stage.
On the ground, there are two corpses that have just died, and the bright red blood flows from the corpses, dyeing the stone slabs below into a blood red.
The atmosphere in the square is solemn, but no one side rashly takes action.
It seems that they are afraid of disturbing the thirteen stone statues guarding the ancient hall.
