Chapter 375 You have a strong taste
Qiao Yuexi's words were not alarmist, but true.
The Temple is the largest force in the Shenzhou Continent. Only when the three major families unite can they barely compete with the Temple. If it is just the Yun family, they will never be able to fight against the Temple.
"Ha!" Su Qingning sneered, "What does the temple matter? No matter how powerful they are, I am not afraid. As a child, if I can't avenge my mother, how can I be worthy of being a human being?"
Hearing this, Qiao Yuexi knew that no matter how much she persuaded Su Qingning, she would not listen, so she simply stopped trying to persuade her.
"Ning girl, it's natural for you to avenge your mother. Your uncle won't stop you, but he hopes you can protect yourself and not put yourself in danger." Su Huaiyu said.
Su Qingning nodded and assured: "Don't worry, uncle, I cherish my life very much."
"As it was before, my uncle is relieved."
Afterwards, the uncle and nephew chatted for a few more words and then planned to separate. However, before leaving, Su Huaiyu said to Su Qingning, "Ning girl, you go to Fengling City first. After I go back to Yuquan Villa and ask for your hand in marriage from Manor Master Qiao, I will go to Fengling City to help you."
"Yes, Qingning, wait until Ayu and I meet up with you in Fengling City, and then we will act together." Qiao Yuexi agreed.
"Okay." Su Qingning nodded and said, "I'll make a decision based on the situation."
A few minutes later, Su Huaiyu and Qiao Yuexi and their group left first, leaving only Su Qingning, Mo Lintian and Bai Zhi on the empty path.
"Let's go! Let's go to Fengling City and meet the candidate for the Temple Saint." Su Qingning's eyes were cold and her tone was very contemptuous.
……
A few days later, under the emerald green mountains, a group of three people walked leisurely over. They were Su Qingning and the other two who were going to Fengling City.
This place is Qingfeng Mountain. As long as they cross this mountain, they can reach Jincheng. Then, they can take the teleportation array directly to Fengling City.
However, as soon as Su Qingning and the other two entered Qingfeng Mountain, they noticed something was wrong. Although they were surrounded by green trees and full of vitality, they felt a hint of coldness.
Moreover, the further you go in, the colder the atmosphere becomes, as if you are in the underworld.
"Strange, why is it so cold here?"
Bai Zhi rubbed her arms, which were covered with goosebumps, and looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky. She felt that this place was very strange.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
Su Qingning and Mo Lintian looked at each other, and a sense of vigilance arose in their hearts.
A golden and silver light flashed in his eyes, and Su Qingning immediately opened his third eye to check the situation around him.
However, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but once you do, you will be shocked.
I saw that the top of Qingfeng Mountain was covered by a black fog. Su Qingning felt a very evil power from the black fog, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"There's something going on on the top of the mountain."
Hearing this, Mo Lintian and Bai Zhi looked up. Although they didn't see anything, they vaguely felt that there seemed to be something above, which made them feel a little uncomfortable.
"What should we do? Should we go up?" Bai Zhi said worriedly, "I can feel a strange power on the top of the mountain. It's very dangerous."
"Of course we have to go." Mo Lintian said, "If we want to go to Jincheng, we have to cross this mountain."
Bai Zhi naturally knew this, but this was not the only way to go to Jincheng. They could actually take a detour.
But looking at the eager expressions on her son and daughter-in-law's faces, Bai Zhi knew that they would not take a detour, so she simply did not bring it up.
So, after the three of them discussed it, they started walking towards the top of the mountain.
About an hour later, the three of them finally reached the top of the mountain.
As soon as they reached the top of the mountain, they discovered the source of the evil power, because the environment on the top of the mountain was clear at a glance, and the dark cave could be seen by anyone who was not blind.
Moreover, even though they were standing ten meters away, they could feel the evil power emanating from the cave. That power seemed to be able to devour the heaven and earth, and seemed to be nurturing some evil life.
When they reached the cave entrance, Bai Zhi couldn't help but shiver, "Hiss~ This breath is so creepy!"
Hearing this, Su Qingning turned her head and smiled gently. Her smile was as dazzling as the sun, as if it could illuminate all the darkness in the world.
"Mom, don't be afraid. With Lin Tian and I here, we will definitely protect you."
"Yeah." Bai Zhi's eyelashes trembled, and she forced a gentle smile, "Qing Ning, thank you. With you and Tian'er by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."
After comforting Baizhi, Su Qingning and the other two walked into the cave together.
But not long after, Su Qingning began to regret it. If she had known the situation in the cave was like this, she would never have let Bai Zhi in.
Even she, who had experienced two lifetimes, was stunned after seeing the scene in the cave. Her lips trembled and she couldn't utter a word.
There were some vines hanging in the cave, and a child was tied to each vine.
Not only that, there is an altar in the center of the cave, and in front of the altar stands a man wearing a white sacrificial robe.
The man was muttering a spell while holding a child in his hand. The child's face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to be dead.
"Tick!"
It sounded like water dripping, but Su Qingning and the other two knew that it was not water dripping at all, but blood.
The child held in the white-robed man's arms had his carotid artery cut open, blood staining his neck red and dripping bit by bit into the bowl on the altar.
The children who were tied to the vines had terrified expressions and dull eyes, as if they were very scared.
However, there were exceptions. Among this group of frightened children, there was a pair of delicate twins, a boy and a girl, who were staring at the white-robed man on the altar with resentment and unwillingness on their faces.
Suddenly, the man in white robe paused in his bleeding action. He raised his head and looked towards the cave entrance. "Who?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man and a woman walked out from behind the wall. The man had a slender figure and wore a black brocade robe with dark gold patterns. He had an enchantingly handsome appearance. The woman wore a green silk skirt and had a beautiful and cold face. Her eyes were full of disgust as she looked at him.
The man in white robe was stunned by the appearance of Mo Lintian and Su Qingning for a moment, then after realizing what was happening, he immediately asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"
"Humph!" Su Qingning snorted coldly, and said in a cold tone: "The one who wants to kill you."
"Ha! What a big tone!" The white-robed man laughed disdainfully. "You think you can kill me? Do you know who I am?"
"Who you are is none of our business." Mo Lintian glanced over disdainfully. "As a dying man, we have no interest in knowing who you are."
"Alright, alright!" The white-robed man laughed in anger. "What a pair of ignorant young lovers! Since you're determined to die, I'll grant your wish."
After he finished speaking, the man in white robe silently chanted a spell. In an instant, a black mist suddenly appeared in the cave and enveloped Su Qingning and Mo Lintian.
"Hahahaha... Since you guys came to my door, then stay and be food for my pet! Hahahaha..."
"Ha! You have quite a strong taste, keeping a demon as a pet!"
A scornful and sarcastic voice came from the black fog, causing the white-robed man's laughter to be stuck in his throat. He was so angry that his face turned blue and red, and his vicious eyes glared angrily at the strong man in the black fog.
"Humph! You still dare to argue when you're about to die. It's really..."
Before he could finish his words, a sharp scream was heard from the black fog. Then, the black fog dissipated, revealing the figures of Mo Lintian and Su Qingning.
The white-robed man was stunned by this sudden incident. He looked at Mo Lintian and Su Qingning in disbelief and asked angrily, "Where is my pet? Where did you hide him?"
Mo Lintian glanced at the man in white robes calmly and said nonchalantly, "Of course, send him to where he should go."
"Don't worry, there are many of his kind there, and he will definitely have a great time."
The man in white robe: “???!!!”
The corners of Su Qingning's mouth twitched, and she had a hard time holding back her laughter. She naturally knew where Mo Lintian was talking about. It was the secret realm of evil spirits that he had accidentally obtained.
I still remember that Mo Lintian had once imprisoned the young master of the Tiandao Sect in the secret realm of evil spirits, and that young master was eaten alive by the evil spirits, even his soul was eaten.
Now, the evil ghost pet of the white-robed man in front of him has been locked up in the evil ghost secret realm. I'm afraid it will end up with its soul torn to pieces!
Of course, Su Qingning had no intention of sympathizing with the other party. Just looking at what the white-robed man in front of her was doing, she knew that the evil ghost following him must have done a lot of evil things. For him, his soul would be scattered and shattered, which was the best punishment.
"Who are you? Why are you arresting these children?"
Su Qingning questioned while looking at the altar in the center of the cave. She really couldn't figure out what the other party wanted to do. She didn't know what the other party wanted to do by capturing these children, and what he wanted to do by taking their blood.
"You are not worthy of knowing my identity," the white-robed man said arrogantly. "As for what I intend to do, you'd better not interfere. Otherwise, if you end up getting into trouble, don't blame me for not warning you."
"These children are sacrifices."
Mo Lintian's cold voice suddenly sounded, which made Su Qingning and the man in white robe stunned at the same time.
"Sacrifice?!" Su Qingning was shocked.
"How did you know?" the man in white robe was surprised.
Mo Lintian glanced at the man in white robes with disdain and said sarcastically, "I'm not blind. The formation under the altar is so obvious, it's hard not to notice it."
The white-robed man's expression changed slightly. "Are you a formation master?"
Mo Lintian raised his lips slightly and said modestly, "I am not talented, but a mere Saint-level formation master."
"..." The white-robed man couldn't help but twitch his lips. Saint-level formation master, and still just a mere...?! That was really asking for a beating.
Su Qingning also felt that what Mo Lintian had just said was a bit asking for a beating. She didn't know when he became so Versailles.
Originally, the man in white robe did not take Mo Lintian and Su Qingning seriously, but now that he knew that Mo Lintian was a saint-level formation master, he became a little afraid.
A saint-level formation master who can recognize what formation is under the altar at a glance must have a way to break his formation.
He must not let them ruin his plan, he must kill them!
The man in white robe had murderous intentions towards Mo Lintian and Su Qingning. Although this murderous intention had existed from the beginning, it was now more urgent.
"Since you have discovered my secret, you must not stay here."
As he spoke, a white magic wand appeared in the hand of the white-robed man.
"Humph! You used children as sacrifices for your cultivation, as inhumane as ever. Do you think we will let you go today?"
As Mo Lintian spoke, a blue magic wand appeared in his hand.
The atmosphere instantly became tense. Mo Lintian and the man in white robe stared at each other coldly, both looking like they were ready to fight at any time.
However, it was obvious that neither of them was planning to take action in the cave. Mo Lintian was worried about hurting the children, while the man in white was worried that the formation under the altar would be destroyed.
"Let's fight outside." said the man in white robe.
Mo Lintian nodded, "Yes."
The next moment, two figures flew out of the cave at the same time. Before leaving, Mo Lintian quietly gave Su Qingning a look, indicating that she didn't need to worry about him. Save the children first.
So, Su Qingning could only suppress the urge to rush out to help, and quickly ran into the cave to rescue the children.
Bai Zhi, who was hiding behind the mountain wall, also came out. Together with Su Qingning, she rescued the children who were tied up by vines one by one.
The rescued children recovered from their shock and hugged each other and cried.
"Be good, children, don't be afraid, everything is fine."
Bai Zhi gently comforted the children. Perhaps it was because she was a mother, when she saw the children crying, she felt distressed and pity, and her maternal love instantly overflowed.
However, Su Qingning noticed that among this group of children, there was a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, who were particularly calm. They did not cry, but just looked silently in the direction of the altar.
Su Qingning turned her head and saw the child lying on the altar with his carotid artery cut and no breath of life.
"Do you know that child?" Su Qingning walked over to the twins and asked, "Are you friends?"
The twins looked up at Su Qingning and nodded together. The girl said, "His name is Fang Yuan. He's a friend we met after being brought here."
"Is that so?" Su Qingning nodded and asked, "What about you? What are your names?"
For some reason, Su Qingning had an inexplicable liking for the twin boy and girl and couldn't help but want to care about them.
"My name is Yun Xiaohan." The girl introduced herself first, then pointed to the boy next to her who looked exactly like her and said, "This is my younger brother, Yun Xiaochen."
Upon hearing this, Su Qingning was stunned. His surname is Yun. Could he be a child of the Yun family in Fengling City?
Su Qingning wanted to ask clearly, but before she could open her mouth, a scream came from outside the cave.
Although the person who made the sound was not Mo Lintian, Su Qingning's attention was still attracted by the situation outside the cave.
"Xiaohan, Xiaochen, you stay here, I'll go out and take a look."
Yun Xiaohan and Yun Xiaochen nodded obediently, "Okay, sister, please be careful~"
Su Qingning smiled and nodded, then walked out of the cave.
