Chapter 688: Mangyin Mountain

There was a faint rumble of thunder outside, and the wind was strong, shaking the old trees outside the tavern. The biting cold rain also drifted in with the wind. Seeing the heavy rain, Manager Xu immediately closed the window, and the already dim tavern became even darker.

"Xiao Liu, light the lamp."

With a command, the young man surnamed Liu immediately took the oil lamp from the inner room, lit it one by one, and the flames danced gently, making the tavern look a little brighter and warmer.

It looked like the rain would not stop until when. I'm afraid that the people in the tavern would not be able to leave today. When it was almost dark, everyone was already drunk and confused. Suddenly, there was a "clang" sound, waking everyone up. It turned out that someone was knocking on the door outside.

The waiter surnamed Liu had just been lying on the counter. He had just closed his eyes for a while when he was awakened. He hurried over to open the door. As soon as the door was opened, a cold wind immediately poured in, causing everyone in the tavern to shiver inexplicably.

There were seven people standing outside the door, all wearing robes. Except for the old man in blood-stained clothes at the head, the other six stood in a row like zombies, motionless, and looked very strange and scary.

It was dark at this moment, so it was even harder to see the appearance of these people. Even though the waiter had been here for many years and had seen all kinds of strange people, he was still startled at this moment and froze in place. The shopkeeper Xu came over and said, "Xiao Liu, what are you doing? Why don't you invite the gentlemen in..."

The waiter then reacted and quickly stretched out his hand to make a "please" sign, smiling and saying, "Dear guests, please come in..."

The old man in blood-stained clothes at the head stepped in, and the six lifeless people behind him followed in. A gust of cold wind blew in, causing the candlelight in the room to shake.

Shopkeeper Xu hurried forward and said with a smile, "It's crowded in the room, please don't be disgusted, please sit down." As he spoke, he quickly asked the waiter to clear another small table.

Unexpectedly, before they sat down, a voice suddenly rang out from the southeast corner, "I didn't expect to meet Senior Xueyi here. It's really my honor..."

Such a voice made everyone in the tavern hold their breath. The person who spoke was the middle-aged man in black who had previously belittled the righteous.

At this moment, he was holding a wine glass, drinking while slowly saying "Where are you going, Senior Xueyi?"

In a small tavern, the atmosphere became particularly tense. This small tavern in the mountains usually only receives some mortals who traveled all over the world, but the two groups of people who came today seemed to be not simple. Everyone, including Manager Xu, did not dare to breathe at this time.

The old man in blood-stained clothes slowly sat down and said calmly, "Why? Sect Master Yun is also going to Mangyin Mountain this time?"

"Humph!"

The middle-aged man in black clothes snorted coldly, put the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table, and said coldly, "Yang Xiaoran, that fellow, issued a bloody rain order to all sects last month. People from other sects went. If our sect does not go, it will be said that we have two minds. In this case, how can our sect not go!"

He said this, snorted again, picked up the wine glass that was already filled with wine, and drank it all. It seemed that this dispelled some of the hatred in his heart, and continued, "It's just that Yun doesn't understand that with the ability and reputation of Senior Blood-stained Clothes, he can go alone. Occupying a piece of paradise, sleeping soundly, why do you have to be humble to that guy this time? "

"Alas..."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the old man in blood-stained clothes just sighed and said, "I am old and can't stand the tossing of young people. This time, let's go..."

The whole tavern fell into silence at this moment. There was only the sound of rain hitting the leaves outside the window, which was chilly. Everyone held their breath and didn't understand what the two of them were talking about. Only someone noticed the three words "Mangyin Mountain". It was heard that Mangyin Mountain was a place where the demons gathered secretly in recent years. Could it be that these two groups of people were actually members of the Demon Sect!

"Boom!"

A thunder suddenly sounded outside, scaring everyone. Even those who had been wandering around the world for many years and lived a life of hardship could not help but tremble at this moment.

"Alas..."

With another soft sigh, the old man in blood-stained clothes slowly sat down, brushed his sleeves on the table, and said, "Shopkeeper, bring two pots of hot tea."

"Yes, yes, senior, please wait a moment..."

Shopkeeper Xu came to his senses and immediately went to the back room. It was like this until midnight. The cold rain outside did not stop. The people in the room were extremely tired, but at this moment, everyone was sitting on pins and needles. Not to mention falling asleep on the table, even if they moved slightly, they dared not make too much noise, for fear of disturbing the two groups of people who came later.

It turned out that the two groups of people were the figures of the Demon Sect. The old man in blood-stained clothes was the leader of the Blood-stained Sect, and his name was "Blood-stained Son". He was also quite famous in the Demon Sect.

And the middle-aged man in black was the leader of the Canglang Sect, and his name was Yun Chuanlang. He had some strength. This time, the two of them were going to Mangyin Mountain in the southwest.

The night was getting darker and darker, and no one in the tavern was talking. In the middle of the night, everyone finally couldn't resist the tiredness and fell asleep one after another with their arms as pillows. When they woke up the next day, it was already early in the morning.

The rain stopped at some point, and the two groups of people who came yesterday left at some point, including the girl in light red clothes on the second floor, who disappeared early in the morning.

"They... left?"

Everyone woke up one after another. Some people went to the door and looked outside. They were sure that there was no trace of those people from yesterday. Only then did they slowly calm down. "It seems that they really left..."

"Hey, no, where is the girl from yesterday? Why is she gone? Could she have been kidnapped by those people? This girl fell into the hands of those people, I'm afraid..."

"Last night I heard them say that they were going to Mangyin Mountain. Mangyin Mountain is a place where people from the magic path gather. Why do all the magic sects suddenly gather there? Alas, the world is getting more and more chaotic..."

"Who cares about the righteous path or the magic path? Let's live our own lives. Don't provoke anyone. Why are you afraid that a stone will fall from the sky and smash you to death?"

The small tavern slowly began to become lively again, no longer as dead as last night.

...

It was early spring, but it has been raining recently, and it is getting colder outside. The earth has not yet returned to spring, but it seems to be returning to winter again.

In the southwest of Xianyuan Zhongtu, there are mountains that are rarely visited all year round. Deep in the mountains, there is a big mountain called Mangyin Mountain. Because of its hidden and dangerous terrain, it has become a place where various sects of the magic path have secretly gathered in recent years.

The terrain outside Mangyin Mountain is complicated and it is very difficult for ordinary people to find its specific location. The girl followed the people of Xueyizi in the tavern for three days and three nights before finally following them quietly.

"These people are really here..."

The girl lowered her head and pondered for a moment. Her figure flashed and disappeared in the jungle in the blink of an eye. But no one knew who she was, a little girl, and why she came to this dangerous place. If the demons in the sect found her, I am afraid that even if she grew wings, she would not be able to fly out.
