Chapter 130 Found
The rain was pouring down, and raindrops as big as beans hit the ground, splashing layers of water, like countless broken silver beads. Lightning flashed across the night sky, followed by deafening thunder.

Ye Lingsu quietly walked out of the inn and came to the backyard. She jumped lightly and flew out without disturbing anyone. Her steps were weak and her eyes were empty and lifeless, like a puppet with its soul extracted.

Rainwater flowed down her hair and cheeks, and her soaked clothes clung to her body, outlining her thin figure. She was completely unaware of the violent storm around her, and just mechanically walked deeper into the alley.

The alley was filled with the smell of decay and dampness, and the dim light was cut into pieces by the rain.

At this moment, a man in black suddenly appeared. He put his palms together and, with a fierce momentum, went straight for Ye Lingsu's chest.

Just as a few cold rays of light cut through the rain curtain, several steel balls came through the air with a sharp whistling sound and shot accurately at the man in black.

The man in black quickly stepped back.

And at that moment, a loud shout was heard in the rainy night: "Sister!"

At this moment, Ye Lingsu woke up from a dream, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and then she locked her eyes with the man in black in the alley and shouted, "You bastard, you really want to hurt me!"

Ye Lingsu roared angrily, and his palms flipped rapidly, and a bone-chilling icy air instantly condensed in his palms.

This chill seemed to freeze everything in the world. On this stormy night, the surrounding rain instantly condensed into ice, falling in sheets. With a wave of her jade arms, her icy palms, like two streaks of cold light, swiftly attacked the man in black.

At the same time, a familiar sharp whistling sound was heard in the darkness, and steel balls once again broke through the wind, aiming directly at the man in black.

The steel balls shuttled through the rain curtain with an unstoppable momentum, echoing with Ye Lingsu's icy palm energy, making the black-clothed man's movements increasingly restricted.

At this tense moment, several figures rushed out from both sides.

It was Ye Wanyue, Taoist Qingyun, and Gu Chudong who was running and shooting steel balls with his fingers.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black did not show any hesitation. He waved his hand violently, and more than a dozen smoke bombs exploded around him in an instant. The billowing smoke quickly spread and merged with the darkness of the rainy night.

When the smoke cleared a little, everyone looked closely and found that the man in the black fog had disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only a messy alley and the still raging wind and rain.

And at this moment,
Under the cover of night,
The disappearing man in black was like a ghost stalking in the night, but what he didn't notice was that not far away from him, there was also a figure following him like a ghost, keeping a certain distance from him.

This is Gu Mo.

As he followed, he scattered the spices, leaving a trail.

And behind him,
Lord Sang Tu and Taoist Yuan were tracking him with disciples from Canglan Sword Sect and Qiushan Sword Field. However, they did not make a big fuss, but followed the traces left by Gu Mo.

They don't have any other sects.
Because when the plan was being agreed upon, among all the people from various sects in Cangshan Town, Lord Sang Tu only trusted Qiushan Sword Field.

Therefore, apart from the two parties involved, the Snow Ridge Twin Immortals and Taoist Qingyun, only the Gu Mo siblings and Taoist Yuan knew about today's plan.

quickly,

Gu Mo chased the man in black into a small courtyard.

……

The courtyard is located in a remote area and is very quiet.

The man in black quickly entered a study, took a book from the bookshelf, and gently pushed inside. The bookshelf split to the sides, revealing a secret passage.

Inside was a spacious hall with blazing torches scattered all around. The flames lit up the entire hall very brightly.

In the center of the hall lay a vast pool of blood. Within it, blood surged, emitting a pungent, nauseating odor. Above the pool, a platform abruptly stood, emitting a strange aura.

On the high platform, a mysterious formation loomed. Five massive bronze chains rose from the depths of the blood pool, locking onto the central, ten-foot-square red copper platform.

Five blood grooves were carved deep along the edge of the platform, each embedded with five kinds of offerings: in the east, the Azure Dragon lay on a thousand-year-old black tree, the bark covered with cinnabar talismans; in the west, the White Tiger stood with a seven-foot cold iron sword, the blade of which was inserted upside down into a boiling pool of mercury; in the south, the Vermillion Bird burned with blazing flames, the core of the flame condensed into the shape of a phoenix head; in the north, the Black Tortoise held the Kunlun Cold Jade Stele, the surface of which oozed a faint blue light; in the center, the Qilin sat precisely in the scarlet blood pool, in which nine corpses wrapped in golden threads floated.

On the platform, there was a heart in the blood groove in front of Xuanmu in the east of the Wood Element, and there was also a heart in the blood groove in front of the sword in the west of the Metal Element. Both hearts had obviously been separated from the human body long ago, but they were still beating and could even make a "thump thump" heartbeat sound.

However, the three blood grooves in the north of the water element, the south of the fire element, and the center of the earth element are now empty. In them, you can vaguely see a strange insect as big as a thumb rolling around, looking very ferocious.

Behind the platform, there was a figure shrouded in black mist sitting on a chair.

The man in black entered the palace and immediately removed his veil, revealing a sallow face with prominent cheekbones and sunken cheeks, as if drained of flesh and blood. His sparse hair clung to his scalp like dry grass, with a few strands drooping messily across his forehead.

This person is actually the third worst of the ten evil men, the Death Ghost.

The ghost knelt on the ground, his face filled with horror as he looked at the misty figure on the chair. He stammered, "Brother... I'm sorry... I... failed the mission. They've noticed and there's an ambush in the dark."

The Black Mist Man said calmly, "Then why did you come back?" The Death Gate Ghost shuddered and said, "Brother, this town is full of people from various factions. I can't hide anywhere else except here. I'll definitely be found if I go anywhere else. But don't worry, brother, no one can catch up to me, and I won't be exposed."

The black fog figure made an eerie sound, as dry as a saw cutting through wood. He said, "It doesn't matter if the mission failed. You were right to run back and hide immediately. But your only mistake was that you didn't shake off the tail and were followed!"

"No...impossible..."

The ghost said quickly: "I didn't realize anyone was following me!"

"If you can discover everything, then is Gu Mo still worthy of being called a Grandmaster?"

The black fog figure slowly stood up, walked up to the Death Ghost, and said, "If you do something wrong, you will be punished..."

The eyes of the Death Ghost were filled with terror. He glanced at the blood pool, his heart almost stopping in fear. He saw with his own eyes that the ten evil men, except for the hanged ghosts and starving ghosts who had been killed in Pinggu County before, were all thrown into the blood pool one by one and turned into a pool of blood. Now he was the only one left.

"Brother, I was wrong. I... can redeem myself from my crime and make meritorious contributions...Brother..."

however,
The man in black fog just waved his hand, and the ghost instantly lost his mind. He quickly stood up and walked into the pool of blood. His body gradually turned into blood from bottom to top. Finally, a worm crawled out of his head and swam around in the pool of blood.

"You bastard, you are really cruel!"

At this time, Ren Tianqi walked out of a secret passage behind the palace, his hands behind his back, and said, "Almost all of the Ten Evils have entered your blood pool. Well, it seems that only the second one, Wuchang Ghost, has not entered."

The Black Mist Man said, "Impermanence Ghost was the first to enter. At that time, we had just started working together. He became disloyal, so I used him to refine the Tribulation Heart Gu."

Ren Tianqi was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "It's said in the martial arts world that the ten evil men are sworn brothers, but in reality they are just a master and nine servants."

The Black Mist Man said calmly, "They're just a few pieces of trash. I was originally short of help, so I had to use them. Now that I'm working with you, Captain Ren, there's no point keeping these pieces of trash around. From now on, I'll have to rely on you a lot."

Ren Tianqi smiled and said, "No problem. I'll have to ask for your help."

The man in black mist paused for a moment and said, "Captain Ren, it's your turn now."

Ren Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Let me make it clear first, my injuries haven't recovered yet. I won't be able to hold out for long if I go to face Gu Mo."

The man in the black fog said, "Captain Ren, no matter what, an incense stick of time should be enough, right?"

"Of course it's no problem."

……

There was heavy rain, lightning and thunder.

Gu Mo fell into the yard as lightly as a fallen leaf. Not long after, a burst of chaotic footsteps was heard. It was Sang Tugong and others who were chasing after him. There were more than twenty elite disciples of Canglan Sword Sect, a dozen swordsmen from Qiushan Sword Field, plus the two immortals of Xueling, Taoist Qingyun, Taoist Yuan, Sang Tugong, Gu Chudong and other masters.

"Is this the place?" Ye Lingsu asked first.

Gu Mo nodded slightly, pointed to the side room and said, "That person went in here and then disappeared."

"It seems there's a hidden room inside. No wonder all the sects and schools have searched everywhere for the past few days but haven't found any clues." Ye Lingsu said, "That Soul-Catching Gu is truly treacherous."

"Have you taken the antidote?"

"Master Qingyun and I had already eaten on the way here." Ye Lingsu said.

"What should we do now? Charge forward?" asked Yuan Dao Ren.

Lord Sang Tu said, "Charge!"

Immediately, Taoist Yuan took the lead and swung his sword quickly. The powerful sword energy gushed out and directly cut through the doors and windows of the side room.

Immediately, everyone took out their weapons and followed Taoist Yuan forward.

At this moment,
Gu Chudong suddenly grabbed Gu Mo and whispered, "Brother, Netherworld Epiphyllum!"

Gu Mo was slightly stunned, with a puzzled look on his face.

Gu Chudong whispered, "Just now, outside this yard, the petal of the Netherworld Epiphyllum that Sister Yan gave us started to heat up. It must have sensed the traces of the Netherworld Epiphyllum. The Netherworld Epiphyllum might be nearby."

Gu Mo frowned slightly.

At this moment, Taoist Yuan and the others were about to rush into the side room. However, just as they reached the door, an iron chain suddenly flew out from inside. Two scimitars were wrapped around the iron chain, and they flew towards Taoist Yuan like the scythe of the god of death.
