Ye Yang's heart suddenly tightened, and the scene before him made him shudder.

It was a figure he had never seen before, but he felt inexplicably familiar with it.

The man raised his head, his pale face covered with blood and dirt.

His eyes were sunken, but there was a strange light flashing in them, which was filled with despair and pain, and at the same time, mixed with a hint of imperceptible cunning.

"who are you?"

Ye Yang frowned slightly, looked at the man in front of him, and then spoke. '

"You are not a boy demon."

The man stood up slowly, his movements were slow and stiff. In this rain-filled dungeon, his body was covered with countless blisters from the rain.

Every step he took seemed to be in great pain.

As for his ragged clothes, they were already in tatters, and his exposed skin was covered with marks of whipping and burning. The condition was so miserable that it was unbearable to look at.

"who I am……"

The man repeated Ye Yang's question softly, his voice hoarse and low.

"Well said, who am I? I also want to know who I am."

"I used to be the king of the ancient country of Qingqiu, but now, I am just a loser."

"But why do I feel a familiar smell on you? That's... That's..."

He was a little bit surprised at first, then he seemed to remember what he was hungry for, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and he slapped his forehead as if he thought of something.

"I remember now. It's the information about that mysterious fairy object. The red wedding dress in your hand is the corpse-wrapping dress, right?"

Ye Yang was shocked and said nothing.

Ever since he obtained this red wedding dress when he was still a young monk in the Tongqi realm, this thing has been in his hands for more than a hundred years.

Especially during the initial practice, he helped him resolve crises several times.

But now that it is suddenly mentioned, people feel an indescribable sense of suffocation.

Ye Yang's eyes instantly became alert.

He never told anyone about the "red wedding dress".

This mysterious and strange object has the characteristics of the Demonic Swallowing Immovable City, and can also manipulate strangeness.

Quite precious.

And now, this person could recognize this treasure without even seeing it, which made him more alert.

"How do you know about the red wedding dress?"

Ye Yang's voice was low, with a hint of threat in his tone.

The man smiled bitterly and shook his head. His eyes penetrated the darkness before him and looked into the distant past.

"There is nothing in the ancient country of Qingqiu that I don't know. This is a mysterious item passed down from the ancient country of Qingqiu. Once you put it on, you will gain the power of doom, and at the same time you will bear the curse of the entire world."

“Those who have obtained it since ancient times have never had a good end.”

Ye Yang fell silent.

This sentence has been said to him more than once.

The strange fox fairy I met before also said the same thing.

Her original words were

I am already so miserable, I cannot be the only one to bear all the misery in this world.

This time he came to look for the boy demon, but unexpectedly he met this mysterious and crazy man.

He was still frowning and not speaking, when the man spoke again.

"You came to the ancient country of Qingqiu to find the bad luck of the White Fox Master, right? Tell me quickly, it must be like this."

Ye Yang could tell that this person must have an important status in the ancient country of Qingqiu. It was even very likely that he was the predecessor of the White Fox Lord, the king of the ancient country of Qingqiu.

This is in line with the logic of what he just said.

However, after all, this was my first acquaintance with this person, and many things could not be left unsettled.

He changed his tone.

"Fellow Daoist, I wonder if you have met a boy-like cultivator in this water prison."

The person he was talking about was naturally the boy demon. As a result, just when Ye Yang said this.

In the water prison, the water was splashing, and after a while, a monk who looked like a boy emerged from the waves.

At this moment, his face was full of fear and he swam towards Ye Yang desperately.

"Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist, I am the demon boy. Please save me. This man is simply not a human. He treats me as a toy, playing with me day and night, and even wants to eat me."

The man laughed out loud, not taking it seriously, and spoke.

"I'm not a human, I'm a fox. Isn't it natural for foxes to eat humans?"

After he finished speaking, he held the Boy Demon in his hand again, then stretched out his skinny and yellow hand and gently flicked the Boy Demon's head.

The boy demon was spinning in the water prison like a spinning top.

At the same time, there was also a wanton and happy laughter.

Ye Yang knew that this man had been imprisoned in the water prison for too long, so he treated the boy demon as a toy.

Seeing this, he quickly stopped it.

The man just stopped what he was doing.

Ye Yang spoke.

"Tongzi Tianmo, let me ask you, when you and your group entered the Alien Demon Abyss, was there a short man with crocodile dragon arms?"

The demon boy raised his head, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a glimmer of hope appeared.

"Are you talking about Fellow Daoist Gu Xuan?"

"Exactly this person."

"I wonder where he is now?"

When the boy demon heard this, a slight expression appeared on his face and he sighed.

"Many years ago, I was imprisoned here with fellow Daoist Gu Xuan. But later, because he had exchanged hands with the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon, he was taken away by the people of the Ancient Country of Qingqiu. They said they wanted to raise him, tame him into an ancient dragon, and then offer sacrifices to heaven and earth."

"I haven't seen him in years."

Ye Yang frowned slightly after hearing this, obviously a little surprised by the news.

"Can you tell me more details?"

The boy demon thought for a moment, but had no time to answer.

The figure next to him has already spoken.

"Let me tell you, in the Qingqiu Ancient Country's Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony, the more precious the blood of the monks and monsters being sacrificed, and the higher their cultivation, the greater the benefits gained."

"The monk you mentioned must have been chosen as one of the sacrifices."

"And this time the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony was presided over by Lord White Fox himself."

After saying this, he laughed out loud and looked at Ye Yang, as if he was vaguely expecting something.

"It's the White Fox Master again..."

Ye Yang exhaled, repeated the name, and weighed something in his mind.

"May I ask, Senior, what level of strength has the White Fox Master reached?"

The man seemed to have thought of something, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Powerful, really too powerful."

"As for how powerful he is, just ask the person next to you and you will know."

Ye Yang turned and looked at the boy demon.

The demon boy took a deep breath, as if trying to calm the fear in his heart, and spoke slowly.

"The White Fox Master's strength is unfathomable, at least he has reached the Tiangang realm. There are eight of us, including an old demon king from the Earthly Demon Country, but we didn't even get close to him before we were scattered by a single blow."

"I think he has already touched the threshold of Dharma Realm."

"The pressure was so strong that it almost made the whole world tremble."

"In the end, he completely spared our lives on purpose. Otherwise, even if we were all together, we wouldn't be able to defeat one of his hands."

Ye Yang fell into deep thought. This was beyond his imagination.

Whether it is the Tiangang or Fashang realm, they are almost the top existences in the world of cultivation.

Facing such an opponent, even with the Tongtian Spirit Ship at their side, their group might not have a complete chance of winning.

However, now that we have finally got Gu Xuan's information, we must find a way to rescue him no matter what.

At this moment, it seemed that he thought of the difficulty of the action.

Even the boy demon fell silent.

"On the night when the two moons are in the sky, all fox people must offer sacrifices to the heavens on the Sandu Snow Mountain. At that time, people may relax their guards, which may be an opportunity."

The man opened his mouth and told a big news.

Ye Yang could understand the meaning behind his words and really hoped that he and his companions could fight against the White Fox Lord.

However, if what he said was true, this was an open conspiracy and people had no choice but to get involved.

The demon boy broke the silence.

"Fellow Daoist, I have said everything I need to say. I don't know if you can save me from this water prison."

Logically speaking, since the boy demon told him so much information, he should rescue him.

(two)

However, the matter is of great importance. If we rescue him now, it will inevitably attract the attention of the ancient country of Qingqiu.

Now is not the time to take risks.

Ye Yang sighed.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. Now is not the time to rescue you." The Tongzi Tianmo naturally knew the meaning of Ye Yang's words. He still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. After all, he had been trapped in this dark dungeon for so many years.

I met another old madman who was very skilled in cultivation and treated me as a plaything.

Now that I have finally found an opportunity to escape, my hopes are suddenly dashed, and I naturally feel a little sad.

However, he is a powerful person in the realm of true person after all, and he knows the seriousness of the matter.

He spoke to Ye Yang.

"I hope you will remember me. When you find your fellow Daoist Gu Xuan, you must rescue me."

After saying that, he sighed.

"I was born as a casual cultivator and have been a lone traveler my whole life. Being a lone traveler gives you freedom, but if you run into any danger, you will not have your family, children, or friends to rescue you."

"Well, if I am lucky enough to get out of this alien demon abyss, I will definitely build my own power. It is better than turning into dust after a hundred years with no one to collect my body and bury it."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the man behind him stretched out a pair of huge hands, grabbed his thighs, threw him into the air, and treated him as a toy.

"You bastard... I am a true cultivator at the level of a real person, not your toy."

……

After coming out of the Tianmu Water Prison.

Ye Yang returned to the Tongtian Spiritual Ship and waited patiently.

Unknowingly.

The Tongtian Spiritual Ship has been parked at the edge of the ancient country of Qingqiu for some time.

During this time.

Ye Yang and others have been quietly waiting for the arrival of the day when two moons are in the sky, and have not taken any rash action.

In the second month.

A blood-red rain fell between heaven and earth, and the heavy rain fell from the sky like a bucket of water.

After the blood-red rain fell, there was an overwhelming fog that covered the entire sky.

Even in the Alien Demon Abyss, two suns appeared, emitting a faint red light.

Ye Yang and others were amazed.

At the same time, he also discovered that with the fall of the blood rain, the concentration of spiritual energy in the vicinity of the ancient country of Qingqiu had risen to a higher level.

It is obvious that the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens of the ancient Qingqiu Kingdom is about to begin.

Ye Yang used this time to conduct a more detailed observation of the area near Santuo Snow Mountain.

He found that as the date of the sacrifice approached, the vigilance within the ancient city of Qingqiu did increase, but at the same time, the guarding force in some non-core areas was relatively weakened.

During this period, in addition to the white-headed fox people near the Sandu Snow Mountain, a large number of green-headed fox people and black-headed fox people also appeared.

Even some human monks.

This discovery gave him peace of mind.

This night.

Ye Yang received a message.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, according to your instructions, we have now found out that the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony is about to begin, and everything is proceeding according to the original plan."

"According to the schedule, the day of sacrifice will be in two days. This is the best opportunity."

"The White Fox Dharma Lord will also appear by then, and the security inside the Snow Mountain will be reduced to the lowest level."

"I wonder if Your Excellency has any antidote. I've been in so much pain lately..."

After reading the news, Ye Yang did not respond immediately.

Instead, he destroyed the jade slip and gave the order on the Tongtian Spiritual Ship.

Be prepared to fight at all times.

He knew this was a critical moment and he couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

……

As night falls, the Tongtianling ship is brightly lit.

As the night deepened, two moons appeared in the sky, illuminating the ground with a silvery white glow.

With the appearance of the moon, Ye Yang's heart became calmer for some reason.

Now all preparations are ready, just waiting for the right time.

The next morning, when the first ray of morning light shone on the ancient buildings of the ancient country of Qingqiu.

Ye Yang stood on the deck and looked into the distance, praying silently in his heart that the operation would go smoothly.

On the distant snow-capped mountains, the ground was shaking, and the spiritual energy was like the sea, boundless and accompanied by a ray of colorful light.

Like a gorgeous silk ribbon, it dances gently in the air, gradually converging into a radiant beam of light, rising straight into the sky.

As this force continues to rise.

The entire ancient country of Qingqiu seemed to be covered by a soft and sacred light, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance, which was refreshing.

Ye Yang stood on the Tongtian Spirit Ship, staring closely at everything he saw.

He knew that the sacrifice of the ancient Qingqiu Kingdom had begun.

He could feel that as the ceremony progressed, the spiritual energy around him became increasingly dense, and he could even clearly see the threads of spiritual energy flowing in the air.

Gradually, the sacrifice reached its peak.

"Rat Star, now!"

Ye Yang let out a low shout and winked at Shu Xingzi, who immediately understood and disappeared into the night.

At the same time, Ye Yang and the three-headed demon dog also acted quickly, using the terrain as cover to approach the interior of the snow mountain.

The Sandu Snow Mountain covers a vast area and is surrounded by a thick spiritual energy. When you go deep into it, it seems that even breathing becomes much smoother.

As they went deeper, the wind became colder.

The three-headed demon dog looked around vigilantly to make sure no potential threats were approaching.

When Ye Yang and others finally reached the deepest part of the snow mountain, the view in front of them suddenly became clear and a wide open area appeared in front of them.

On the altar, a white-headed fox priest dressed in gorgeous robes was waving the scepter in his hand. Every wave would cause a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy, moving everyone present.

"Looks like we arrived just in time."

Ye Yang said in a low voice, while keeping a close eye on the movements on the altar.

"Rat Star, what's the situation?"

Not long after, Shu Xingzi returned quietly and whispered a few words into Ye Yang's ear.

After a while, a majestic voice came from the altar.

"When the blood moon rises, the sinners will die. You dare to come to the ancient country of Qingqiu. Are you ready to die?"

Ye Yang looked up and discovered that on the top of the snowy mountain, there were countless fox monks standing, with a group of people standing in layers inside and outside.

In the very center of the circle, there were several people tied up with iron chains. They were obviously captives.

One of them, who was short and had a haggard face, was Gu Xuan.

But Gu Xuan's situation is not good at the moment.
His clothes were torn, his body was covered in blood, and his breath was extremely weak.

"You old guys are all like old bastards. You haven't died yet, but you definitely won't survive today."

Next to these people stood a tall man with a fox head, a hint of impatience on his face.

"This old man has a strong vitality. Even though his eight-armed dragon's hand was taken away and his blood failed to be transformed into a wild beast, he is still alive."

Ye Yang's heart sank suddenly, and Gu Xuan's figure made him realize that the situation was worse than he expected.

Someone on the altar responded, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

The tall fox man snorted coldly and stared at Gu Xuan with eyes as sharp as knives.

"No matter how tenacious you are, you will die sooner or later."

Gu Xuan seemed to have heard their conversation, but he did not react at all. He just lowered his head quietly, as if he had given up all resistance.

"I have been lingering in this ancient country of Qingqiu for so long, but I am afraid I can't hide anymore today."

"I don't know how the sect is developing now. Without a strong person at the True Person level to suppress one side, I don't know whether it still exists now."

As the priest's words fell, a burly man with an axe walked out soon.

He walked up to a man, picked him up, turned him over, took out a sharp ox-ear knife, and stabbed it directly into the man's heart.

Blood gushed out instantly. The man struggled a few times, but it was useless. The blood gushed out and soon dyed the snow-white ground red.

The scene was silent, with only the sound of blood dripping onto the stone altar echoing in the air, making one's hair stand on end.

Ye Yang knew that he must find a rescue opportunity as soon as possible.

Shu Xingzi said in a low voice.

"This place is heavily guarded. We can't force our way in. We have to find a way to distract them."

Ye Yang quickly thought of a countermeasure and glanced at the imprisoned monks.

Suddenly, he noticed a pile of firewood used for sacrificial offerings not far away, and an idea immediately came to his mind.

"Rat Star, go and light a fire next to the firewood pile over there. Move quickly to avoid being discovered. Three-headed demon dog, you are responsible for providing cover and attracting the enemy's attention."

The plan is made.

Rat Star moved through the night like a black shadow, and soon the pile of firewood was bursting into flames.

At the same time, the three-headed demon dogs suddenly grew larger and more ferocious, covering the sky and the earth. They opened their huge mouths, spitting out flames all over the sky, and let out bursts of low growls.

The sound echoed through the valley and immediately attracted the attention of most of the fox people.

"Who?"

At this moment, the fox people on the altar had discovered their whereabouts. They were extremely angry and roared to the sky.
