C356 The Underground Altar
"If you have the ability, kill me. Don't even think about getting any secrets from me!"
Wang Hao's brows turned cold. The opponent was a Devil Cultivator that killed without blinking an eye. He would not be polite to any of them.
Cheen Yuan glanced at Wang Hao and asked snappily, "You want to use force?"
Wang Hao asked curiously, "Don't tell me you have a better idea?"
"This kind of professional thing, let the professionals do it!" Finishing, Cheen Yuan dragged the Devil Cultivator into the wine room at the side. Don't look at how small she was. With her Heavenly Martial Stage cultivation, dragging a big man was no different from pinching a bug.
The door of the wine house was closed. Wang Hao thought that he would hear a heart-wrenching scream, but in reality, there wasn't even a muffled groan.
After a moment, Cheen Yuan stretched her head out of the wine house.
"This way!"
Wang Hao walked into the wine house and saw the Devil Cultivator being interrogated by Cheen Yuan lying on the ground. Its body was curled up like a ball, trembling as if it had experienced the most terrifying thing in the world.
Wang Hao asked curiously, "Did he confess?"
Cheen Yuan had a proud look on her face, "When I go out, how can there be a mouth that cannot be pried open?"
"What did you do?"
"Hehe, there is nothing to keep secret. I just tried everything he did to other people on him. "
Cheen Yuan's smile was very pure, but Wang Hao felt a chill in his bones.
"Let's go! There is a secret passage here."
Cheen Yuan led the way in front and very quickly walked to a wall in front of the wine house. The wall was very ordinary. From the outside, there was nothing suspicious about it.
Cheen Yuan used her small hands to continuously touch the wall and muttered to herself, "Where will the mechanism be?"
Wang Hao who was at the side smiled and lit the Golden Pupil. In the next second, a sword qi shot into the wall and with a "kacha" sound, the mechanism was triggered and slowly opened.
Cheen Yuan looked at Wang Hao in shock as if she had seen a monster.
"There are specialized professions!"
Wang Hao walked in front of Cheen Yuan. The Devil Cultivator was very likely in the secret passage. How could he let a Heavenly Martial Stage Level One girl block in front of him?
The secret passage was at a 45-degree angle from the ground. The stairs were densely packed. Even if a few vitality stones were lit up, they could not see the end of the passage.
Cheen Yuan's expression became very serious. "Judging from the traces on the stairs, this secret tunnel has been built for at least a few decades. I really don't know what that old man did to the domain lord. He actually made the Devil Cultivator dig a big hole under his nose."
Wang Hao said in a deep voice, "Did you notice that although the Devil Cultivator has existed for a long time, it has always been secretive and did not dare to expose itself under the sun. But in the past half a year, it has become unusually active?"
Cheen Yuan nodded, "Originally I guessed that it was because of the Devil Cultivator, but after thinking about it carefully, but it is not right. The Devil Cultivator is at most at the Spirit Martial Stage. In the entire continent, although it could be considered a powerful force, it was still considered a powerful force in the Holy Domain, which ruled the continent. It's not a threat at all. Could it be that you know some other insider information?"
"The reason why the Devil Cultivator is so active is because they have found their leader."
"Leader?" Cheen Yuan immediately became alert. "Who?!"
Wang Hao said seriously, "Li Weidan!"
"Li Weidan? Cheen Yuan repeated the name several times. "This name seems familiar, but I can't remember where I heard it from."
Suddenly, a legend flashed across Cheen Yuan's mind. She was shocked and her eyes were wide open.
"Could it be... Could it be..."
Wang Hao knew that Cheen Yuan had guessed Li Weidan's identity. He nodded slightly and admitted it.
"How is this possible!" Cheen Yuan could not believe it, "The Seven Devil Kings was sealed in the abyss ten thousand years ago. The day the dream was not broken, the Devil Thing in the abyss could not step into the continent!"
"Could it be... half a year ago during the Qilin Academy's freshman assessment, the dream was suddenly sealed because..."
"The seal was broken? !"
Wang Hao comforted, "The dream is still intact, but Li Weidan was no longer in it when the abyss was sealed. He had a great battle with the Dream Dragon. After losing, he became petrified. He had accumulated strength for ten thousand years, and now, he had come back again. However, he was defeated again. After being seriously injured, he escaped from the dream world. "
Cheen Yuan lightly bit her red lips, "So this is the truth of the dream closing, but why did you hide it back then?"
Wang Hao said seriously, "First of all, Jia Houwei sneaked into the dream with Geng Jian's identity. If I tell you everything, with the strength of Qilin Academy and Black Fan Sect, it would be as easy as flipping my hand to find out. I can't harm my brother."
"Secondly, the Dream Dragon said that Li Weidan's injuries were too severe and his soul was injured. It would take at least a hundred years for him to recover. Initially, I wanted to wait for Jia Houwei's matter to pass. Then, I'll report it to the academy. I didn't expect it to stir up trouble again so quickly. "
Cheen Yuan sighed, "If I didn't tell the Black Fan Sect today that I won't pursue Jia Houwei's crime, I'm afraid I would still have kept this secret in my stomach, wouldn't I?"
Wang Hao did not answer and tacitly agreed with Cheen Yuan's guess.
Cheen Yuan said with a solemn expression, "The Devil Thing has a long life, it has ten times or even a hundred times longer lifespan than the demon race. Li Weidan was an ancient devil king who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years. It is hard to say who is stronger than the eight supreme beings of the human race and demon race. The secret plan of the devil king would certainly be terrifying. I will report this matter to the upper echelons of Holy Domain. "
While the two of them were conversing, they had already reached the end of the stairs. It was a stretch of darkness.
Cheen Yuan took out a handful of vitality stones from her bosom and was about to activate them and throw them out. However, before she could do anything, a green light suddenly appeared in the distance.
"Pu! Pu!"
One by one, the fire altars lit up in the air. There were several hundred techniques that lit up the surrounding space.
Wang Hao and Cheen Yuan looked around. The underground space was extremely large. It was three hundred meters in length and width.
Under their feet was a huge altar. There was a stone pillar carved with cow, ghost, and snakes less than 10 meters away. On each stone pillar, there was a pale faced martial artist tied to it.
Wang Hao scanned his surroundings. There were only six stone pillars on the entire altar that had not yet been placed as sacrifices.
These martial artists were still alive and had only fainted. A small hole had been pierced through the middle finger of their right hand. Blood flowed out from the wound and dripped onto the ground.
Wang Hao looked down and saw that there were blood canals as thick as hairs on the altar carved on the ground. The blood canals were filled with blood.
No matter what the purpose of this altar was, as long as the last six sacrifices were gathered, it could be used at any time.
The green light shone on Cheen Yuan's face. She gritted her teeth and her lips turned white.
"This time... it is not good!"
An indescribable sense of danger enveloped Wang Hao's heart. The mission content that the system had given him rang in his mind.
"Enter the Cloud Peak Domain and live together!"
Wang Hao finally understood, "The system's warning is not some Devil Cultivator, nor is it the Devil King Li Weidan. It is this altar with unknown uses!"
The sense of danger became stronger and stronger, Wang Hao grabbed Cheen Yuan's arm.
"Go! Quickly leave this place!"
Wang Hao gathered strength in his legs and prepared to return to the ground as fast as possible.
However, just as he was about to move, a voice came from a corner of the altar.
"Since you are already here, why are you in such a hurry to leave? The sacrificial ceremony is about to begin. Don't tell me the two of you aren't interested in witnessing the descent of a divine miracle with your own eyes?"
Wang Hao and Cheen Yuan looked towards the source of the sound and saw a man walking out from the shadow of the stone pillar.
The upper half of his face was covered by a mask. His body was covered with blood energy that could not be concealed. It was the Devil Cultivator that Wang Hao and Cheen Yuan were looking for!
"Who are you? " Cheen Yuan questioned with a stern voice, "What exactly is the use of this altar? !”
The man-eating Devil Cultivator laughed, "Little Cheen Yuan, you are really haunting me! During our previous six exchanges, you brought the experts of the Black Fan Sect who I can't fight against. Why did you bring a trash with you this time? "
Cheen Yuan's expression did not change, and she said resolutely, "Today, you are underground, and there is only one path that leads to the ground. This time, no matter how strange your escape technique is, you will never be able to escape! When the domain lord arrives personally, it will be the time of your death!"
The Devil Cultivator smiled indifferently, "Then you should take a look. Is the treasure used to inform the outside world effective?"
Hearing this, Cheen Yuan's face became stiff. She quietly took out a treasure that looked like a coin from her sleeve. No matter how she tried to activate it, she was unable to activate it.
The Devil Cultivator seemed to have lost interest in Cheen Yuan. His gaze stopped on Wang Hao's face.
Suddenly, his voice was filled with resentment and anger.
"Wang Hao, we meet again!"
Wang Hao wasn't surprised by these words. He had already guessed that there must be a connection between him and this Devil Cultivator.
Wang Hao asked calmly, "Who exactly are you?"
"Who am I?" The Devil Cultivator laughed loudly. "Hahahaha! Wang Hao, you are really someone who forgets things when there are too many people!"
The laughter continued to reverberate underground, and only stopped after a long time.
The Devil Cultivator reached out its right hand, placed it on its face, and took off its mask.
Beneath the mask was a ferocious face. Its skin was covered with spikes that looked like Devil Thing, and it was a terrifying sight to behold.
This face no longer looked like a human face, but the outline of the face was something Wang Hao recognized.
"Ling Tingfeng!"
Wang Hao's pupils constricted. He had guessed many things, but he did not expect that the man-eating Devil Cultivator was actually Ling Tingfeng!
Ling Tingfeng's voice was low, "Wang Hao, you killed my brother, my father, and the Old Ancestor of Ling family. It's time to settle this score!"
Facing Ling Tingfeng's question, Wang Hao sneered and said, "Your father and brother slaughtered hundreds of people in Snow Sword Sect. Ling Feng has committed a heinous crime. Tell me, what can I do to stop them from dying?"
Ling Tingfeng didn't refute him. Instead, he laughed and said, "Hahahaha! You're right! They deserved to die! If you hadn't killed them, I, Ling Tingfeng, wouldn't have been able to cultivate the Yuan Devouring Divine Art!"
"I really never thought that the cultivation technique I inadvertently picked up in my Ling family Academy would have such a miraculous effect. Those ancestors that caused them to be covered in dust, are truly laughable!"
" I dug up my younger brother's grave, ate my father and clansmen, and also relied on you to eat my ancestor. That feeling of energy surging out from my stomach is truly too satisfying! "
"This is too awesome! Hahahahahaha!"
