From Princess of the Cold Palace to Empress of Heaven

"Cultivation techniques... Is this place the stronghold of evil cultivators in Beiyang City?"

Xiao Minghuang thought for a moment, then his expression paused.

Beiyang City is located at the junction of the northern mountains and the Daxia Plain, sandwiched between the high mountains, except for a few villages and towns on a main road, the rest are wild forests with few people inhabited.

If three or five evil cultivators are hiding in the forest, even if they cast a net, it will be difficult to find their clues.

But unfortunately.

There was some kind of opportunity hidden in this group of evil cultivators, or in this cave, and it happened that Xiao Minghuang followed the guidance of the compass and found it all the way.

"If you step through the iron shoes, there is nowhere to find it, and it takes no effort to get it."

Xiao Minghuang sighed, she came here to wipe out the evil cultivators in Beiyang City, but she didn't expect to meet her so soon.

The next moment, she restrained her breath, stepped lightly, and quietly lurked towards the depths of the cave.

After another turn, Xiao Minghuang saw a faint light.

After approaching, he saw a burly man exuding the aura of the seventh level of body forging, leaning on the rock, dozing off.

Xiao Minghuang sniffed, and an unpleasant smell of blood penetrated into his nostrils.

"It doesn't smell like an animal, could it be human blood?"

Her eyes fell on the strong man, and this bloody smell emanated from him.

"I just wanted to ask you clearly."

Xiao Minghuang's figure flashed, and the next moment he came to the table behind the strong man.

The strong man seemed to have heard some movement, twisted his body, and muttered:

"Don't make trouble, little beauty, the uncle is tired today, and will love you more tomorrow."

Xiao Minghuang stood on the table, a cold light flashed in her pupils, she raised her arms, and a faint golden light flashed on her fingertips.

After entering the Qi Refining Realm, she can already guide spiritual power out of the body, even if she does not touch the enemy, she can still take the enemy's life.

The faint golden light wrapped around the slender fingertips and pressed against the back of the strong man's neck, as if carrying a mighty force, making this burly man immobile.

Suddenly.

The strong man woke up startled, and before he could figure out what happened, he felt a strong force stuck deeply on the spine of the back of his neck.

"I ask, you answer, if there is a false sentence, I will die on the spot!"

In the pitch-black cave, Xiao Minghuang's faint voice resounded, like a god of death in the middle of the night, urging the soul to kill him.

"...Yes."

The strong man trembled.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"The villains are monks near Beiyang City. They hunt beasts in the mountains, but because they are too far away from the city, they live in caves at night."

Xiao Minghuang said lightly:

"Really?"

The strong man felt the pressure from the back of his neck getting stronger, his heart was about to split, and he said tremblingly:

"...Yes, yes! The heroine should not kill innocent people by mistake."

"No, those civilians who were captured and brutally killed by you are considered innocent?"

Between words, murderous intent shot out.

This killing intent was extremely strong, like a sharp sword, almost piercing through the strong man's body.

Under such a heavy coercion, the strong man trembled unceasingly, and could hardly stand upright, a puddle of muddy liquid flowed down his trouser legs.

at the same time.

Xiao Minghuang smelled a pungent foul smell in the air besides the foul smell of blood.

She covered her nose and said impatiently: "I'll give you one last chance, tell the truth quickly, otherwise, you'll die!"

This time the strong man didn't dare to hide anything, and told the whole story.

After some interrogation, Xiao Minghuang probably knew the situation in this cave.

20. The wedding dress is like fire

In the cave, there is indeed a group of evil cultivators, and it is the evil cultivators who caused chaos around Beiyang City.

This cave is one of their strongholds, and every time they plunder the population, they will repair it here.

According to the strong man, there are five people in their gang, known as the "Fifty Thieves".

But there were only four people in the cave. Their eldest brother had gone out on business and hadn't returned yet.

"How many people have you robbed in total, and where are they locked up?"

Xiao Minghuang finally asked.

"A total of seven women and four children were arrested, and they were all locked in the deepest dungeon in the cave."

"Where is the female cultivator at the seventh level of body forging?"

Hearing this, the brawny man was startled, this heroine even knew they had captured a female cultivator at the seventh level of physical training, could it be that the female cultivator's family came to rescue after hearing the news?

"The female cultivator is locked up in the third brother...ah no! It's in the room of the three demon heads. This demon practiced evil kung fu, often stole the woman's vital yin to practice kung fu, and then brutally killed the woman afterwards. Don't let this bastard go!"

The strong man said angrily, looking like he was fighting against the enemy.

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang asked with a half-smile, "It is said that other people practice evil kung fu, and you smell like blood, isn't it also a practice of sucking human blood?"

"I don't! I'm not!"

The strong man hastily denied: "This is all animal blood, not human blood!"

Xiao Minghuang didn't answer, whether it was true or not, she could judge for herself.

After explaining everything clearly, the strong man tremblingly asked:

"Wo...Nvxia, the villain has answered all your questions, can you let the villain leave here now?"

Xiao Minghuang remained expressionless, and withdrew his fingers that were pressing on the back of the strong man's neck. The golden light went out, and the surroundings returned to darkness.

"You go."

Feeling the disappearance of the huge force at the back of the neck, the strong man immediately took steps to escape as if he had received an amnesty.

But just two steps out.

In the pitch-black cave, a little golden light suddenly flashed, like a pop piercing the night sky, fleeting.

Whoosh!

The speed of the starlight was extremely fast, before the strong man had time to react, the light pierced through his chest and came out through his body, breaking a bloody hole as thick as a thumb.

The strong man suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and then his chest hurt. Scarlet blood gushed out like a spring, and the next moment he lost his breath, and his body crashed to the ground.

After killing the strong man, Xiao Minghuang didn't even give the corpse an extra glance, his complexion remained unchanged, elegant and calm, his figure flashed, he floated down from the table, and continued to move towards the depths of the cave.

As she continued to deepen, she discovered some evil cultivators with lower cultivation levels, none of them surpassed the sixth level of body forging.

These evil cultivators were so weak that they didn't notice Xiao Minghuang's appearance at all, and they were beheaded in their sleep.

Not long.

Xiao Minghuang came to the deepest part of the cave.

After cleaning up all the way, more than ten evil cultivators died under her hands, except for the "fifty thieves" who were the leader, all of them were executed.

"Except for the boss who is no longer here, the remaining three should be in this stone building."

Xiao Minghuang looked at the tall rocky attic in front of him and collected himself.

"In such a small cave, such a huge building was dug out, it is really well-intentioned!"

Standing at the door, she faintly heard the noise of evil cultivators coming from the building, far more than the three leaders.

There are more than twenty auras emanating from the building, but most of them are not high-level, and very few surpass the sixth level of body forging.

Only the aura of the peak of the three forging bodies came out, and it should be the three leading evil cultivators.

As for the Qi Refining Realm martial artist, there is none.

"The boss of the evil cultivator should not be there. There are all minions inside. It's too troublesome to do it one by one. Just kill them all at once."

Since practicing the "Ziwei Huangdao Jing", she has not fully activated the exercises, and now is a good time to try the power of starlight.

Xiao Minghuang whispered to himself, and immediately mobilized the spiritual power in his whole body, a vortex-like cyclone appeared in the lower abdomen, chest, and hands, pulling the free spiritual energy between the heaven and the earth.

There was a gleam between her brows, and a little golden light came out through her body, illuminating the entire dark cave, and it was as bright as day in an instant.

The dazzling starlight, like a comet in the night sky, seems to carry a mighty power that penetrates the heaven and earth, and presses towards the stone building.

...

Inside the stone building.

"Come on, brothers! Keep drinking!"

All the evil cultivators had hazy eyes, their heads were dizzy, and suddenly they saw a light flashing outside the window.

Before they had time to react, the light fell in front of them.

All the evil cultivators stared wide-eyed, their pupils filled with disbelief, as if they had seen the most gorgeous and beautiful picture in their lives.

But behind the boundless splendor, there is a cold death.

...

The stars go out.

Xiao Minghuang's complexion turned pale, and the four cyclones on his body disappeared accordingly. Feeling the empty dantian, he took out a elixir and filled it in his mouth. His spiritual power continued to recover, and he couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Although I have been promoted to the fourth level of the Qi refining period, releasing the starlight once will actually drain the aura of the entire dantian."

Xiao Minghuang took out a elixir from the storage bag, stuffed it into his mouth, and replenished the spirit energy that had been squandered.

But even so, it is a great improvement compared to before.

When she just learned the "Ziwei Huangdao Jing", she couldn't perform this exercise independently at all.

It must rely on external spirit stones to supply spiritual energy before it can be displayed.

This is not the case now, only relying on one's own spiritual power to perform exercises, the progress is not 01:30.

Moreover, Xiao Minghuang discovered that "Ziwei Emperor's Taoist Scripture" and "Big Dipper Sword Art" seemed to come from the same source, and there was no gap between them.

"Is there a possibility that the Big Dipper swordsmanship is part of the Ziwei Emperor's Taoism, but it was separated later?"

Xiao Minghuang murmured to herself, this is just her conjecture, which cannot be verified.

She stepped into the stone building, and what she saw were corpses all over the floor.

"It's too fast. If I knew I should have asked first, where are the people they captured?"

Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly, and immediately unfolded her spiritual consciousness, spreading it outward.

but.

Her spiritual sense was not far from the stone building, and when she saw a small house, she suddenly felt a restless atmosphere.

"I remember that person said that they captured a woman at the seventh level of body forging and locked her in the room of the Three Demons alone."

Thinking of this, Xiao Minghuang immediately took steps towards that room.

As he approached the house, he could faintly hear the cracking sound of porcelain falling to the ground.

An ominous premonition arose in Xiao Minghuang's heart, and he hurried away.

...

inside the house.

A woman in a fiery red wedding dress has a graceful figure. Through the light red gauze hijab, one can vaguely see that beautiful face as delicate and radiant as white jade.

At this time, the woman was shrinking in the corner of the room, her whole body was bound with ropes, unable to move, her mouth was stuffed into a towel, and she could not make a sound, her eyes were covered with a red cloth, and her body was trembling constantly. It was panic to the extreme.
