Chapter 399 Three Hundred Miles

As he approached the altar, the evil figure became clearer in the flames.

It was a demonic figure shrouded in black mist, with a distorted face and eyes flashing with madness and evil.

It looks like a human but is not, and is extremely terrifying.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew in from all directions, making this underground space seem even more eerie and terrifying.

Fang Yue's heart was filled with alarm bells, and a chilling feeling of terror arose in his heart.

dangerous!
His intuition told him that this seemingly ancient altar was very dangerous and he had to get away from it as soon as possible.

Years of martial arts training had made him extremely sensitive to danger, and at this moment he felt an unprecedented threat looming over him.

The premonition of "a sudden impulse" made him not dare to hesitate at all. He immediately mobilized all his martial arts skills and retreated several feet in an instant.

"Hehe, if you want to leave, it's too late!" The demon shadow laughed eeriely, and his distorted face looked even more terrifying under the reflection of the flames.

The black mist all over its body began to churn, as if endless evil power was surging within it.

As the demon spoke, the runes on the altar lit up one by one.

Those ancient runes flickered with eerie light, releasing a heart-pounding power that filled the entire underground space with depression and uneasiness.

The Three Spirits Corpse Refining Formation was activated in an instant.

Invisible force fields were like chains, tightly wrapped around Fang Yue's body, making him unable to move.

Those ancient runes flashed with an even more bizarre light, as if injecting endless power into this evil formation.

Fang Yue felt an unprecedented pressure coming from all directions, and his martial arts skills seemed to become insignificant at this moment.

"Hehe, now you have become a part of my formation. Your body and your soul will be at my disposal."

The demon's laughter became even more sinister, and the black mist around it surged even more violently, as if celebrating the victory of evil.

"Give up, stop struggling. Under the Three Spirits Corpse Refining Formation, all martial arts vitality will be suppressed."

The demon's voice echoed in the cold underground space, carrying an unquestionable evil power.

Fang Yue felt that his martial arts skills were indeed greatly suppressed, as if an invisible force was weakening his strength.

However, he did not give up. Years of martial arts training taught him that in the face of difficulties, only by persistence and struggle can one find a glimmer of hope.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner panic.

He knew that what was most needed now was calmness and rationality. Only by finding the flaw in this evil formation would he be able to escape from this horrible trap.

"Oh right, this formation can suppress martial arts energy. But there is more than just martial arts energy in my body!"

Soon, Fang Yue's eyes lit up.

He suddenly realized that there was another kind of power contained in his body - that was the demonic power refined by the Six-turn True Spirit Technique!

This power is completely different from the martial arts energy in his body. It is more violent and more unrestrained. It is what he refined from demons through practicing the Six Revolutions of True Spirit Technique during his life and death experiences in the demon world.

He immediately began to mobilize this demonic power, trying to use it to break through the evil Three Spirits Corpse Refining Formation.

He took a deep breath, gathered all the demonic power in his body into his palm, and then swung it violently. The demonic power in his palm turned into a dark light and rushed towards those ancient runes.

The runes seemed to sense the threat and began to flash wildly, releasing even more bizarre light, trying to resist the impact of this demonic power.

However, Fang Yue's demonic power was like a sharp knife, instantly cutting those runes into pieces.

As the runes were shattered, the entire Three Spirits Corpse Refining Formation began to tremble, the invisible force field gradually dissipated, and Fang Yue finally regained his freedom.

He took the opportunity to leap up suddenly, and his powerful vitality mixed with the power of the demon turned into a fist, and he slammed towards the demon shadow fiercely.

This strike condensed all his strength and determination, and was his desire for freedom and challenge to evil at this critical moment of life and death.

Seeing this, the demon's eyes flashed with fear. It didn't expect Fang Yue to be able to break through the restraints of the Three Spirits Corpse Refining Formation and deliver such a powerful blow. It hurriedly mobilized all the evil power in its body to try to resist the blow.

However, Fang Yue's fist was like the light of dawn, instantly tearing through the Demon Shadow's defense and fiercely hitting it. The Demon Shadow let out a shrill scream, and the black mist on its body began to dissipate, and its distorted face became blurred.

This attack dealt a heavy blow to the demon shadow. It could no longer maintain its form and began to gradually dissipate.

"Haha, hehe, I didn't expect you could do this. But, you've gotten into big trouble, the Black Mountain Sect won't let you go!" A cold and weak voice came from the gradually dissipating demon shadow.

Fang Yue frowned as he heard this, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that although he had defeated this evil shadow, he might have gotten into even bigger trouble.

Black Mountain Sect, this name echoed in his mind, which sect is this?

"Black Mountain Sect, which sect is this?"

Fang Yue pondered in his heart, this name was very unfamiliar to him, but he could feel that this was definitely a force that should not be underestimated.

He knew very well that although he had temporarily defeated the Demon Shadow, he might have inadvertently touched the interests of a powerful force, thus bringing him greater trouble.

However, he did not regret it, because he knew that in the face of evil, he could not retreat but could only move forward bravely.

"No matter what kind of power the Black Mountain Sect is, we will not sit idly by and wait for death."

There was a determined light in his eyes, and he decided that no matter what challenges and dangers he would encounter in the future, he would face them calmly and fearlessly.

Now, what he needs most is to understand as soon as possible what kind of force this so-called "Black Mountain Sect" is so that he can be prepared to deal with it.

He knew that he still had a long way to go in martial arts, and he had to be more cautious and vigilant along the way.

Fang Yue decided to search this underground space carefully, hoping to find clues about the Black Mountain Sect.

He knew very well that it was vital for him to understand the situation of this unknown sect. Only in this way could he be fully prepared to face the challenges that might come.

He began to search carefully around the altar, not missing any corner that might hide clues.

However, this underground space seemed to have not left much information about the Black Mountain Sect except for those ancient runes and the broken Three Spirits Corpse Refining Formation. Fang Yue was not discouraged. He believed that as long as he searched carefully, he would definitely find something. He continued to explore this underground space in depth, not missing any details.

Finally, in an inconspicuous corner, he found a stone chamber covered with dust.

Fang Yue gently pushed open the door of the stone chamber, and a stale smell mixed with a hint of mold hit him in the face.

The stone chamber was not big, but it was filled with all kinds of miscellaneous items.

He searched every corner carefully, not missing any possible clues.

In a corner filled with tattered books and talisman papers, he found some materials for setting up the Three Spirits Corpse Refining Formation, including some special talisman stones, black mist condensates, and some strange magical weapons he had never seen before.

"These materials are indeed related to the Three Spirits Corpse Refining Formation." Fang Yue thought to himself as he put away the materials one by one and prepared to take them back for research.

Just as he was about to leave the stone chamber, his eyes were attracted by a pile of messy talisman papers.

He casually flipped through a few of them and suddenly found that one of them was different from the others. It seemed to be a secret letter.

Fang Yue's heart moved, and he immediately unfolded the secret letter. The handwriting on the secret letter was crooked, as if it was written in some special way, but Fang Yue could still barely recognize the content.

"On the fifteenth of this month, the Black Mountain Sect will take a group of people hostage to the mountains three hundred miles outside the city to perform a secret ceremony. We must ensure that everything goes smoothly and without error."

After Fang Yue read the secret letter, he was filled with anger. He had never thought that the Black Mountain Sect was so evil that they not only created an evil formation, but also captured people as sacrifices for secret rituals.

But then, he thought again. Would his parents, brother and his family also be among them? After all, he did not find his family in Black Mountain City.

Could his family be among these people?

Fang Yue's heart was suddenly filled with anxiety and worry. He realized that he might be able to take this opportunity to find clues about his family.

He decided that he would go to the mountains three hundred miles outside the city no matter what to uncover the evil veil of the Black Mountain Sect and look for the traces of his family.

However, after leaving the underground space, Fang Yue did not go to his destination immediately, but returned to Black Mountain City first.

Fang Yue knew very well that going directly to the mountains to expose the evil deeds of the Black Mountain Sect might alert the enemy and even make the Black Mountain Sect prepare in advance, thus endangering the safety of himself and his family.

Therefore, he decided to return to Black Mountain City first, pretending nothing had happened on the surface, while secretly preparing everything.

After returning to Black Mountain City, Fang Yue began to inquire about the news about the Black Mountain Sect.

He discovered that this sect had considerable influence in the local area, controlled many resources, and even had close ties with some families in the city.

This made him even more certain that his family was likely captured by the Black Mountain Sect.

Fang Yue was in Black Mountain City. On the surface, he seemed the same as usual, but in fact, his heart was full of anxiety and planning.

~~~~~~
At the same time, inside the Black Mountain City Lord’s Mansion, the atmosphere was solemn.

The leader of the Black Mountain Sect, Yu Hongye, sat on a large chair with a gloomy face and anger and unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

He had just received news that the attempt to ambush Fang Yue had failed, and even the Three Spirits Corpse Refining Formation within the sect had been destroyed.

"How could this be?"

Yu Hongye's voice was deep and powerful, with unquestionable majesty, "The Three Spirits Corpse Refining Formation is one of the important foundations of our sect. How could it be destroyed?"

The disciples kneeling below were trembling all over, not daring to look up and look directly into the eyes of the sect leader.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, Fang Yue is extremely powerful and seems to have mastered some strange power that can restrain the power of our formation. He not only broke through the Three Spirits Corpse Refining Formation, but also severely injured Lord Moying who was in charge of guarding it."

Yu Hongye frowned upon hearing this. After a moment of silence, he said coldly, "How could Fang Yue be so powerful? Although he is considered a rising martial arts genius in the Wei Dynasty, the Three Spirits Corpse Refining Formation suppresses his martial arts vitality. How could he be fine?"

Yu Hongye's words were filled with deep doubt and unwillingness. He could not understand why a seemingly ordinary martial arts genius could destroy the Three Spirits Corpse Refining Formation that their sect had carefully arranged and severely damage Demon Shadow.

The disciple kneeling below trembled even more violently. He tried to calm himself down and replied:
"Master, as far as we know, Fang Yue is indeed famous for his talent in martial arts in the Wei Dynasty, but we don't know whether he has mastered other special powers. However, one thing is certain, after he appeared in Black Mountain City, his whereabouts were quite mysterious, and it seems that he was related to some unknown power."

Upon hearing this, Yu Hongye was silent for a moment, then slowly stood up, walked to the window, and stared at the night outside.

His heart was filled with resentment and anger, but at the same time he realized that Fang Yue might not be a simple character.

"No matter what his origins are or what kind of power he possesses, he must die!"

Yu Hongye's voice was cold and ruthless, with an unquestionable majesty, "He destroyed the important foundation of our sect and severely injured Mo Ying. This is a provocation to our Black Mountain Sect. We cannot let him live, we must refine him into a corpse spirit."

His anger towards Fang Yue had surpassed reason, and all that was left was the desire to destroy this young martial arts genius.

The disciple kneeling below felt the sect master's strong murderous intent and couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He knew the sect master's methods and determination very well, and he also understood that Fang Yue had completely angered the controller of the Black Mountain Sect.

"Master, what should I do now?" the disciple asked cautiously, trying not to let his voice reveal too much fear.

Yu Hongye turned around, looked at the disciple fiercely, and said coldly:

"Send the order immediately to strengthen the city's defenses and send out more spies to find out Fang Yue's background and whereabouts. I want to know his every move and everyone he comes into contact with. Also, notify the disciples outside the city and have them prepare in advance. If Fang Yue dares to leave the city, he will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes, Sect Master!"

The disciple responded quickly, secretly thanking his luck for being able to leave this murderous place alive.

He knew very well that the anger of Sect Leader Yu Hongye could not be easily quelled, and the name Fang Yue had been completely included in the Black Mountain Sect's death list.

The disciple hurried away and began to carry out the orders of the sect leader.

The atmosphere in the entire Black Mountain City became more tense because of the sect leader's anger. The residents in the city also felt this unusual atmosphere and speculated whether something big was about to happen.

At this time, Fang Yue had already quietly left Black Mountain City.

He knew that time was running out and every moment of delay would pose an additional threat to his family's safety.

He must go to the mountains three hundred miles outside the city as soon as possible!
