The huge formation light shield that had been enveloping the entire spirit stone mine had disappeared. This made Luo Xiu and Luo Xiu's expressions become very ugly. Almost at the same time, the two of them chose to speed up and shoot toward the location of the spirit stone mine.
Actually, long before this, Luo Xiu's Soul Force had already explored the specific situation here. However, because he didn't have any information about the specific situation here before, and because his Soul Force swept through the entire mining area, he didn't find anything, so he didn't take the initiative to speak of his discovery.
Therefore, he didn't say anything. Everything he saw clearly indicated that something had happened to the spirit stone mine. At the very least, there were no survivors. This was an indisputable fact. This discovery made Luo Xiu realize that he had been too careless before. Moreover, as he got closer, the thick smell of blood in the air made Luo Xiu a little uncomfortable. The tragic situation here had a greater impact than he had imagined, and it made Luo Xiu's heart palpitate inexplicably.
As they got closer to the spirit stone mine, the uncomfortable feeling in Luo Xiu's heart became more and more intense. At this moment, Luo Xiu was certain that something must have happened to the spirit stone mine. Otherwise, such a situation wouldn't have occurred. Moreover, as they got closer to the spirit stone mine, Luo Xiu had the urge to turn around and run. This feeling was so strong that he actually wanted to turn around and run.
"Elder, there's something wrong with the situation!
We have to be careful. I keep having an inexplicable sense of crisis. Be careful of being ambushed!
You have to know that at my level of cultivation, this kind of intuition is almost never wrong. Could it be that there's something wrong with the spirit stone mine that we didn't even think of? If something like that really happens, then we're in big trouble! "Luo Xiu's tone became grave as he spoke seriously.
At this moment, Luo Xiu's expression became extremely grave. The scene in front of him gave him a very strange feeling. He looked at the spirit stone mine in the distance as if he was looking at a black hole that was devouring all the vitality around it. This made Luo Xiu feel an inexplicable sense of fear. While holding Situ Lingyun back, he revealed the strange feeling in his heart.
"Xuan Ming, did you discover something? Why do I feel fine?!
Just tell me what's wrong. At this point, there's no need to care about other things. Since you've noticed something is wrong, what should we do next?
I'm sure you have some ideas. Whatever we do, Old Man will listen to you! "
Situ Lingyun also seemed to feel that something was wrong and couldn't help but look at Luo Xiu as she spoke.
As Luo Xiu and Situ Lingyun approached the spirit stone mine, the sense of danger in their hearts became increasingly clear. Moreover, the deathly stillness of the spirit stone mine gave them a great deal of pressure. It should be known that there were thousands of disciples stationed here all year round, and there were also thousands of miners. There were so many people here. In the past, every time the sect disciples came here, it would be extraordinarily lively. Coupled with the incessant clanking sounds of mining, they simply couldn't believe that the entire area was so quiet right now.
Since they had already realized that there was something wrong with the spirit stone mine, no matter how daring Luo Xiu was, he didn't choose to rush in rashly. Standing not far above the spirit stone mine, Luo Xiu released his Soul Strength without restraint. However, as he saw the scene, his expression became more and more unsightly. The entire spirit stone mine was full of corpses. Moreover, many people wearing the Palace of Heaven and Earth's disciple robes had died extremely miserably. Not only had their blood essence been sucked dry, but even the livor mortis on their bodies had become densely packed. They had definitely been dead for more than ten days.
After exchanging a glance with Situ Lingyun, Luo Xiu also saw the seriousness in her eyes. Therefore, the two nodded solemnly and headed towards the interior of the spirit stone mine at the same time. The scene they saw along the way made them extremely worried. Judging from the state of these people's deaths and the reactions of the corpses, these people had definitely been dead for more than a month. In such a long time, not a single piece of information had been sent out. It should be known that this place was currently shrouded in a formation. Now, not only were there no traces of the formation, even the foundation of the formation had been completely destroyed. This scene was somewhat thought-provoking.
"Elder, they're all dead!
And all their blood essence has been sucked out. The method is extremely strange. Many of the corpses don't even have any wounds. This is somewhat terrifying!
Who do you think did this?
The situation here is worse than any of the situations we have thought of. The tragic scene here caught us unprepared. Hehe, if we had known this would happen, we would have come here as soon as possible. Maybe we could have caught the murderer. Under such circumstances, let's split up and search for the corpses of Yuan Ping, the other elders, and Master Xue Wuming. If we can't find their corpses, it proves that they are the culprits. In that case, we can still find a way to solve this problem. If they are not the culprits, then we will be in big trouble! "
If we don't, we'll be in big trouble! "Luo Xiu sighed. His tone was no longer as calm as before. Not to mention that he was helpless, he really didn't expect that he would be greeted with a scene of corpses when both of them were ready to clean up the sect.
Even though he had all kinds of worries before, Luo Xiu felt a heart-wrenching pain when such a tragic scene really happened in front of him. It wasn't because he was too self-absorbed, but because he really felt that the situation here was a little out of his control.
The deaths of so many people in the spirit stone mine may have ruined his previous clean-up plan, but compared to his previous thoughts, Luo Xiu felt inexplicably empty. Perhaps it was because of his calculations that made Luo Xiu feel really apologetic. After all, he wasn't a person who did all kinds of evil. How could he accept all this so calmly?
"I've already roughly checked. Not only have these people been dead for more than a month, but their essence, qi, and spirit have been sucked out directly at the same time as they died. More importantly, I don't see the corpses of Yuan Shuo and the other Elders here, which proves that they should be the culprits. Even though our Qiankun Sect has countless cultivation methods, none of them requires a huge amount of precision. It seems that someone else is behind this. This situation is a little troublesome!"
Situ Lingyun's expression became incomparably solemn. At this moment, the cautious expression on her face was almost enough to explain everything.
From her words, Luo Xiu also heard something different. However, after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that he had been led into some kind of strange circle. With this in mind, Luo Xiu didn't give up and released his soul force. After scanning the spirit stone mine again, he moved and disappeared. When he reappeared, he had a few more things in his hands. These things were a few broken weapons and the corpses of three black-clothed men. "Elder, take a look at these things.
"Elder, look at these, I think this place must have been attacked. From these things, it's not hard to tell that the people who attacked this place seem to be this group of black-clothed people, but I don't understand how they broke through the defense of the formation. I've already checked, the formation of this spirit stone mine has been completely destroyed, and it's almost impossible to open it in a short period of time. This is a bit inconceivable, after all, we've only been delayed for a few days, and to be able to break through the formation in such a short period of time, it's impossible to do it without the help of the internal personnel!" Luo Xiu frowned deeply, and said with a trace of uncertainty in his tone.
Even he felt that it was a little tricky now. The scene in front of him made him feel a little strange. At the same time, he also felt a deep malice from this world. More importantly, from what he had seen and heard, it was obvious that there was someone inside the spirit stone mine who had betrayed them. That was why such a situation had occurred. Ordinary attacks could break through it, but without the help of someone inside the spirit stone mine, it was impossible to break through the defensive formation of the spirit stone mine so easily.
"In other words, it's possible that Yuan Shuo and the others have fled this place. Another possibility is that someone among them was dissatisfied with the death of Sect Master Jadesun and wanted to rebel. That's why they left us in such a mess. No matter which possibility it is, we must find out the truth. In fact, I'm more worried about what happened to Yuan Shuo and the others and that they were forced to leave this place. That's the most important thing!"
Situ Lingyun looked at the broken blades in Luo Xiu's hand and then at the three corpses. She waved her hand and removed the masks on the three black-clothed men's faces. She could not help but sigh.
The three corpses in front of her looked ordinary and had no distinctive features at all. Moreover, they had been dead for a long time, so it was impossible to distinguish the attribute of their Cultivation Methods. The only thing that could be seen was that there was a mark on their necks that looked like a multi-legged worm. However, this tattoo was just a little special, and there was nothing else that could identify them.
However, just as Luo Xiu was about to say something, he suddenly raised his head. His expression changed rapidly and became extremely solemn. He directly pulled Situ Lingyun up and rushed into the air. However, as soon as he rushed into the air, an extremely frightening black shadow directly shrouded the two of them. Luo Xiu was shocked. Without thinking about anything else, he instantly burst out with all his strength. The Yin Yang Blast controlled by the Law of Thunder was directly bombarded by him in his strongest state.
Even if it would expose his true strength, he would not hesitate. This black shadow was really too frightening. The sudden appearance of the black cloud, which was so huge that it almost blotted out the sky, to launch a sneak attack, was absolutely aiming to kill him. At this time, how could he care about such trivial matters as hiding his strength?
Sure enough, when his powerful Yin Yang Blast hit the huge black shadow, Luo Xiu only felt that his punch had hit cotton. He did not feel any resistance at all. He could not help but be shocked. He hurriedly flashed to the other side with Situ Lingyun and looked up at the black canopy that was constantly pressing down. Then, from the black canopy, endless dark brown worms flew down and quickly drilled into the corpses. Like zombies, the corpses stood up one by one, opened their white eyes without black eyeballs, and looked at where Luo Xiu and Situ Lingyun were standing. Seeing this, Luo Xiu could not help but look at Situ Lingyun. His expression really became solemn.
Because whether it was the huge black canopy or the frightening scene at this moment, they all pointed to a big problem. Why was this huge canopy able to withstand his powerful Saint-level attack without any change? And how did these dark brown worms fly out of the black canopy control these corpses? All of this made him feel a deep sense of malice.
At this moment, Situ Lingyun had no time to be entangled with the scene he had seen before. After feeling Luo Xiu's powerful attack, he looked at the scene in front of him cautiously and revealed a helpless smile. From his smile, Luo Xiu saw a free and easy feeling and relief, which greatly surprised Luo Xiu. He stared at Situ Lingyun with a somewhat unfriendly look.
"Elder, what the hell is this?
From the looks of it, you seem to know this thing. If you have something to say, hurry up and tell me. I'll think of a way to solve it. If this drags on, we'll all die here! "Luo Xiu looked at the corpses that were rapidly gathering around them with some urgency.
He waved his hand and sent out a few attacks, knocking the corpses away, but he was unable to shatter them. Under such circumstances, how could Luo Xiu not understand that these corpses had also inherited the terrifying ability of the black clouds to absorb damage.
This made Luo Xiu's expression a little unsightly. From Situ Lingyun's expression, he could clearly sense the fear in his heart. However, this old guy just didn't say anything, which made Luo Xiu so anxious that he wanted to curse out loud.
Luo Xiu saw Situ Lingyun take a deep breath and say solemnly, "These should be the work of those guys from the Southern Region. These should be Gu worms. If I'm not wrong, they should be those Vajra Gu worms. But the number is a little too terrifying!
And from the behavior of those Vajra Gu worms above us, it's not hard to see that they should have some unique abilities. From their behavior, it's clear that these worms are now in an extremely hungry state! "
