I'm just a soldier, why should I fight you in a duel?

The old man was so angry that he was about to die.

"Why do you say that, Taoist priest?"

Wei Yuan's expression was slightly moved, and for a moment he didn't know what the old Taoist priest was up to.

"Please look, sir!"

Taoist priest Wu made a spell, muttered something, and then pointed his sword at his forehead.

Instantly, Wei Yuan felt his eyes go black and his brain roared.

It was as if he was hit by a heavy hammer.

After a few breaths, he slowly opened his eyes, and everything around him became different.

It was as if the veil of this world was suddenly lifted, and he could see the inside through the skin.

All kinds of spiritual energy from heaven and earth floated, evaporated, and roamed freely in the air!

They float in the mountains, on branches, and even in rivers.

There is the clear and spiritual air emitted by ancient trees and green grass, the turbid air of wild beasts and river fish, and the terrifying murderous aura of sharp edges.

"What a magical pupil technique! But why didn't I see the opportunity that the Taoist priest wanted to give me?"

Taoist priest Wu stroked his beard, with an unfathomable look on his face, as if he was a hidden master.

No matter how Wei Yuan asked, he just didn't speak, perfectly interpreting what a riddle man is!

Clang!

With a helpless bitter smile, Wei Yuan could only pull out the horizontal sword at his waist!

If it weren't for his lack of strength, he would have wanted to cross the heavy halberd on the shoulders of the two men!

Just as the sword was halfway out, he saw that Taoist priest Wu wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly pointed to a place and said to Wei Yuan.

"Master Wei, look at that cave!"

"It's really on the right track!"

Wei Yuan secretly praised Taoist Wu in his heart, and at the same time, he looked in the direction he pointed!

The cave that no one paid attention to!

Wait, what is that?

Wei Yuan seemed to see a pure white tiger lurking in the depths of the cave, with wisps of golden spiritual energy lingering around it.

No!

That's not spiritual energy!

Wei Yuan's heartbeat seemed to miss a beat.

"This is..."

Just when he was about to take a closer look, he found that his eyes had instantly returned to their original appearance.

Wei Yuan was stunned, and looked at Taoist Wu with a somewhat unhappy expression.

Just when he was about to draw out his sword again, he heard him spit out four words in a hurry.

"Gengjin evil spirit!" Taoist Wu's eyes twitched, and he held down Wei Yuan's restless big hand.

"Don't be anxious, Lord Wei! You can't see clearly with just this technique."

"If you want to get in touch with the opportunity, you need to go into the cave yourself!"

Master Wu took a deep breath and pointed to the cave over there.

"A tiger sits in the deep mountains, and the evil spirit is rising day by day. The earth dragon rises in the mountains, and the Gengjin evil spirit is born."

"Lord Wei is really lucky. According to my guess, there is an evil spirit cave there!"

"I guess the Gengjin evil spirit of this mountain ghost was obtained in that cave!"

Wei Yuan suddenly realized it and slapped his thigh and shouted.

"No wonder I always feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity with that mountain ghost!"

"It turned out to be the evil spirit of my military strategist!"

"That's right!"

"I just don't know how that mountain ghost absorbed the extremely sharp Gengjin evil spirit!"

Master Wu smiled at Wei Yuan again, pretending to be mysterious.

"Master Wei, maybe this trip is really worthwhile!"

Wei Yuan finally didn't draw his sword this time. Taoist Wu had made it so clear, so he was certainly not stupid!

Thinking of this, Wei Yuan immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and started to practice [Beast Blood Body Casting Technique].

"Zhang Bao, come with me to the cave later!"

"Here we go! Master!"

...

Half an hour later,

Wei Yuan took Zhang Bao and several palace soldiers into the cave with Taoist Wu, and asked Zhang Biao to stay outside the cave and dispatch palace soldiers to deal with the corpse of the demon.

The cave was deep and the road was winding. A sharp aura was faintly emitted from it.

The flames kept swaying under the wind in the cave. Wei Yuan led the group and walked quickly into the depths of the cave.

Although the entrance of the cave was extremely narrow, after walking less than a hundred meters, it felt suddenly open, and the entire space instantly became several times larger.

According to Wei Yuan's observation, such a large place could easily accommodate a hundred people.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and rot.

Everyone continued to move forward, and along the way, there were constantly human bones that had been eaten clean and some incomplete animal corpses.

"What's that sound?"

Wu Laodao's ears moved, and he seemed to hear a vague sound.

Wei Yuan and Zhang Bao also stopped, raised torches and searched around, while drawing the horizontal swords at their waists.

The cave was narrow, so Wei Yuan and Zhang Bao did not bring anything.

Such a long-handled weapon.

"Keep going! The sound seems to come from the front!" Taoist Wu also drew out the copper coin sword and was ready.

This time, Zhang Bao took the lead and walked in front of everyone, as if he was afraid that Wei Yuan would be hurt.

After walking about thirty or forty meters, they finally reached the depths of the cave.

The evil spirit here is extremely strong. Even if you don't deliberately feel it, you can feel the sharp spirit.

Everyone finally stopped.

Although they were prepared in their hearts, the three of them still looked a little scared.

About a dozen people with pale skin and skinny bodies were hung on the top of the cave by iron chains as thick as their arms. Each of them had a wooden barrel under them.

The wooden barrel was bright red!

It was filled with their blood!

Everyone had a thumb-long wound on their thighs, and the blood slowly flowed out, and finally passed through the heels or toes and flowed into the wooden barrel.

"Killing people for blood?"

Wei Yuan finally understood why these people looked so dry and pale.

Every day after being caught here was worse than death, how could it not be like this!

It is estimated that these people are not ordinary people. If they were ordinary people, they would have been eaten by the mountain monster long ago, leaving only smooth bones.

"Save people!"

Wei Yuan's eyes were cold, and he jumped up, with a red light flashing in his hand, and cut the iron chain with one knife.

After being eroded by the evil spirit for a long time, even the iron chain began to become soft.

"See if there is still air?"

Wei Yuan sighed and told the soldiers behind him.

Seeing that they were trembling and dared not to start, they could only explore with Zhang Bao, Wu Laodao and others!

Luckily, these people are still alive, but their bodies have been eroded by the evil spirit in the cave due to long-term physical weakness.

Wu Laodao was surprised to find that these people were all cultivators of martial arts and immortals, and there was not even an ordinary person.

Among them, martial arts practitioners accounted for more than half.

It makes sense. How could ordinary people withstand such torture, bleeding for several days in a row, without even water and dry food.

Just starving to death!

At least martial arts immortals can use internal force or spiritual energy to alleviate the situation.

Wei Yuan saw that the palace soldiers who followed him were still trembling and hesitant, and couldn't help but sigh.

"You go and take these people out first! Then wait outside! No need to come in!"

The palace soldiers nodded like pounding garlic when they heard the words, revealing a relieved smile.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

Looking at their gradually accelerating backs, Wei Yuan couldn't help but have a headache.

I don't know when I can have a team of tigers and wolves!

"Master Wu, do you think these monks can be saved?"

Master Wu smiled bitterly, nodded, but shook his head.

"The meridians have been eroded by more than 50% of the evil spirit, and the spiritual power and internal force in the body are gradually exhausted as the blood is discharged from the body."

"Even if they survive this day and night torture, their practice will be completely ruined!"

"The road ahead is blocked, and the road back is lost!"

"Sir, there is a stone door here!"

"Oh?" Wei Yuan immediately became interested after hearing this.
