Chapter 1513: Alarm

In a valley deep in the territory of the Wood Spirit Tribe, there is a tree stump with a diameter of a thousand feet, which is like a small hill as big as a millstone. On the surface of the dry and yellow bark, emerald green runes can be vaguely seen flowing, as if it is pregnant with a special vitality.

In a tree hole deep in this millstone tree stump, nine Wood Spirit Tribe monks gathered in a circle. They sat cross-legged, surrounded by brilliant emerald green vitality, and a terrifying breath filled the surroundings. They were all terrifying existences at the level of refining emptiness.

The leader was an old man with gray-green hair and a haggard face. The emerald green vitality around him was the most concentrated, leading the vitality of others.

Deep in these halos, mysterious runes flashed one by one. They were arranged in a special array. Except for the haggard old man, the other eight refining emptiness monks frowned, as if they were comprehending something.

Suddenly, the haggard old man in the lead suddenly opened his eyes, and the rune halo rotating around him trembled and slowly dissipated.

At the same time, an old woman in brocade clothes on the opposite side also woke up suddenly, with a look of surprise in her eyes.

The other Muling clan monks also noticed the movement and stopped their perception. Next to the withered old man was a man who looked like half man and half tree. He said directly: "Grand Elder, what's wrong?"

The withered old man did not answer directly, but looked at the old woman on the opposite side. His withered mouth was dry as wood and could not open. A voice came out of his chest: "Sixth Elder, Mu Wan and Mu Lan's life runes also disappeared?"

The old woman nodded with a heavy expression, and then her face changed and said: "Grand Elder, could it be that Mu Lei and the others also..."

"They also fell. If I am not mistaken, they died within the range of the Dead Soul River."

The withered old man called the Grand Elder had no emotion in his eyes, but just looked up to the east, as if looking at the Dead Soul River from afar.

The other elders were a little surprised when they saw this scene.

"Mu Lei and his men all died?"

"No way, Great Elder, they were just setting up holy water, how could they all die?"

"Died in the Dead Soul River, could there be a Dead Soul General?"

"Impossible, the altar is on the edge, there has never been a Dead Soul General there, at most there are Dead Soul Soldiers at the peak of the Spiritualization Realm."

Listening to everyone's words, the Great Elder's chest shook and said: "The thunder beads I gave Mu Lei and his men can completely scare away a Dead Soul General. To kill them all, there must be dozens of Dead Soul Soldiers, or even a Dead Soul General leading the team."

"How is it possible? This has never happened in tens of thousands of years!"

The withered old man shook his head slightly and said: "You may have forgotten that the riot of Dead Soul creatures was recorded once in ancient books."

The half-tree man's expression moved and said: "Great Elder, are you talking about the riot of Dead Soul creatures caused by a demon king of the Demon Clan entering the Dead Soul River more than 100,000 years ago?"

Hearing this, the other elders of the Wood Spirit Clan were all shocked.

"Another demon king has entered the Dead Soul River?"

"The last time Mu Lan encountered a dead soul soldier, it seemed to be a dead soul armor made by the demons. Could it be related to this?"

The withered old man listened to the discussion of the crowd and was silent for a moment and said: "The strange appearance of the high-grade holy water on the altar, the riot of the dead soul creatures, the strange dead soul generals, and the sacrifice of the human cultivators, there must be some connection between these things."

"The holy water is related to the advancement of the high-level cultivators of our clan. Second Elder, Sixth Elder, Ninth Elder, you go to investigate the situation. With the holy objects of our clan, even if you encounter a dead soul riot or a real demon king of the demon clan, you can retreat unscathed."

As he spoke, the chest of the withered old man slowly cracked open, and a tree root-like thing gushed out from it. It looked extremely ugly, just like a tree root dug casually in the mountains.

Everyone showed respect when they saw this tree root that looked like an ordinary object. The man who looked like a half-tree man beside the great elder bowed and took the tree root with both hands. His originally nervous expression suddenly relaxed a lot. It seemed that with this tree root, the danger of the dead soul creatures was greatly reduced.

"Mu Lei and his companions died near the No. 3 altar. Before that, Mu Lan encountered a dead soul creature with demon armor at the No. 5 altar."

"Go and explore these two places to see if you can find some clues. As for the human sacrifice, there is no rush. Wait until the cause of the dead soul creatures' riot is found out."

"Yes, great elder, we will go now." The half-tree man, the old woman, and the young man at the end stood up and saluted. A token appeared in their hands. With a flash of spiritual light, they disappeared into the tree hole.

Looking at the remaining few old men, the withered old man closed his eyes again, his chest shaking as he said, "Continue to comprehend the Wood and Stone Secret Art. This is the improvement made by me and fellow Daoist Shi Lei. Only by practicing it to perfection, you and fellow Daoists of the Tianshi Clan can perform the Dual Spirit Secret Art at the early and middle stages of the Refining Void Cultivation Stage, and your self-protection power will be greatly increased."

Hearing this, an old man couldn't help but say, "Grand Elder, will the demons really go to the Wasteland after three hundred years?"

The withered old man was silent for a moment and said, "This is what the old monster of the Star Soul Clan agreed to. Without this condition, it would not be so easy for the demons to stop fighting."

"After all, in addition to the ancient vitality, there are also some places in the Wasteland that have the original demon energy."

"Although those above the fusion cannot enter the Wasteland, the demons will definitely arrange for the powerful demon kings to go in for protection. Needless to say, the Star Soul Clan, the old guy's physical body will definitely go in to contain the demon king."

"The Demon Clan and the Star Soul Clan have the strongest Void Refining Combat Power. The Blood Shadow Clan has weird magical powers. Only we and the Sky Stone Clan are the weakest. Without the help of this secret technique, it would be too dangerous for you to go in."

Hearing these words, these Wood Spirit Tribe monks in the Void Refining Stage couldn't help but feel a chill all over their bodies. They didn't expect that the wilderness hundreds of years later would be so dangerous, but for the resources and ancient vitality inside, they had to go.

Everyone calmed down and continued to comprehend the secret techniques taught to them by the withered old man.

…

"Ancestor Lu, we are all the human monks in that secret realm. I heard from the guards of the Wood Spirit Tribe that there are four other secret realms like this."

"But the Wood Spirit Tribe is arresting us casual cultivators. It's not worth the risk for you, old man. You must not go deep into the Wood Spirit Tribe's territory."

In the central hall of the Jiuling Underground Palace, an old man with white hair and a boyish face spoke excitedly. His expression was both excited and excited, but also worried. The wood attribute mana in his body in the middle stage of becoming a god fluctuated with his emotions.

Standing next to this old man is a middle-aged man wearing gray brocade clothes. This man has a plain appearance and long and narrow eyebrows, like two daggers. He is Jian Chen, the powerful deity transformer of the Human Sword Sect.

Jian Chen looked at the excited old man and patted his shoulder. The old man was even more excited than he was before.

If he hadn't known this monk named Hua Tianqi in the early years and personally came over to introduce the identity of Patriarch Lu, I'm afraid that this mid-stage god-transformation monk would have thought that he was under the illusion of the Wood Spirit Tribe and couldn't believe that the human race was still hiding something. An Ancestor of Void Refining.

Lu Kun sat at the head of the hall. He sighed softly and said: "The clansmen imprisoned by the Star Soul Clan will not be massacred in two to three hundred years. After the Wood Spirit Clan's unusual movement in the Dead Soul River, their attention It should be transferred to the dead soul creature, and it will not be sacrificed to humans in the short term. "

"Next, Lu is going to visit the territories of the Blood Shadow Clan and the Sky Stone Clan."

When Hua Tianqi and Jian Chen heard this, their expressions were full of worry.

Lu Kun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm just going to capture some alien races and study their bloodline."

At this time, Jian Chen's mind showed Lu Kun's ability to fight one against three, as well as his magical power to travel underground, and he suddenly felt that he was worrying too much.

Hua Tianqi seemed to have thought of something at this time. A blank jade slip appeared in his hand. His consciousness kept surging, pouring information into it. After a while, he handed the jade slip forward and said respectfully: " Ancestor Lu, you have just emerged from the secret realm of the human race, so you may not know much about the foreign race area."

"Although Hua is a casual cultivator, he has traveled to the four surrounding tribes and knows these alien races very well. I hope this information will be helpful to you."

Lu Kun took the jade slip, scanned it with his consciousness, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Yes, this is indeed helpful."

"Jian Chen, fellow Hua Daoist, I'll help you make the arrangements. Without further ado, I'll take the first step." After saying that, Lu Kun put away the jade slips, golden light flashed around him, and disappeared into the hall.

Jian Chen bowed respectfully in front of him, then patted Hua Tianqi on the shoulder, and said in an excited tone: "Fellow Daoist Hua, come here, take a good look at the Nine Spirits Underground Palace of our human race."

"Let me tell you, this place is more than 8,000 miles deep underground. It is countless times safer than the Three Realms and Nine Realms. Even in the late stage of Void Refining, I am afraid that I will not be able to dive so deep."

"More than eight thousand miles underground, how is this possible?"

"Hahaha, this all relies on the magical power of our human race's body cultivation. You don't know that body training is very magical..."
