Evil Immortal!

Across the street.

From a hidden shadow, an old man in black robes appeared out of nowhere.

The old man was short and unremarkable in appearance, with a gloomy face. His clothes were tattered, and he held a bone staff in his hand. A chilling and unpredictable aura surrounded him.

Strangely, even though he was not far from the group, the people from the Demon Suppression Division ignored him.

The old man stared coldly at the opposite side. Seeing that the courtyard had been surrounded by the people of the Demon Suppression Division, and knowing that all his disciples had been killed, the secrets hidden inside would surely be discovered. Since things had come to this point and there was no way to turn back, he simply turned and left.

"This outpost has always been well-hidden; how did these people find it?"

The beggar's face was gloomy, but he couldn't understand it no matter what.

This courtyard is a stronghold of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave, and it is quite secluded. Unless a Golden Core level expert examines it carefully, it will not attract the attention of outsiders. But now, an unexpected incident has occurred.

As the head of the incense hall, he had gone out on business today, but he unexpectedly discovered that the restriction on the statue of the ancestral master had been triggered. He was shocked and hurriedly returned the way he came, but he was still a step too late!

"Could it be the work of the person who carried the statue of the Patriarch? I sent men to search for this person, but we alerted them, so they hold a grudge?"

The beggar's heart stirred.

More than four months ago, he noticed that someone had brought the statue of the ancestral master to the territory of Linjiang City. He even sent his disciples to search for this person and found some clues. However, the person was elusive and he never found a suitable opportunity.

Moreover, the other party mostly frequented the vicinity of the Demon Suppression Division, which made him quite wary. In the end, he decided to hold back and wait for an opportunity.

But unexpectedly, the other party came knocking on our door...

As for why he was so certain that it was the other party's doing, it was because the statues of the patriarchs often had a mysterious connection with each other.

Even with restrictions in place, this connection cannot be completely severed.

By mastering one of the statues, one can find the other ancestral master statue through this connection!

Although such secrets are usually known only to the higher-ups of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave, it's hard to guarantee that the other party won't find out through other channels.

He couldn't find any other reason besides this possibility.

Moreover, he could sense that the ancestral master statue in the courtyard had disappeared, clearly having been taken away by someone.

"How dare you kill my disciples of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave and steal the statue of our ancestral master! No matter who you are or what your status is, I will never let you go..."

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Qi Mo's triangular eyes, and his figure disappeared into the night.

......

Ding!

[You have discovered that the White Bone Bodhisattva statue is connected to the mysterious organization, the Ten Thousand Evils Cave. The Ten Thousand Evils Cave's large-scale trafficking of young children is not simply about profiting from the trade or searching for those with exceptional cultivation talent; it seems to harbor a deeper purpose. Continue your investigation, and you may uncover even more important clues!]

Ding!

[You have completed the Bone Fang (First Ring), gaining 1500 experience points!]

[Bone Fang (Second Ring) Unlocked!]

Task reward: 6000 experience points, with the specific reward depending on the circumstances.

......

Not long after Meng Yuan left the Wanxie Cave stronghold, on his way back, a notification popped up on the panel.

Meng Yuan glanced at it and continued on his way.

In fact, over the past few months, Meng Yuan had noticed that the people from the Ten Thousand Evil Cave had been looking for him. However, he was busy doing missions and accumulating experience, so he didn't have time to get entangled with these evil heretics. Besides, they were powerful, and he could avoid them even if he couldn't afford to offend them.

So during this time, he kept his whereabouts unknown and deliberately avoided these people.

Furthermore, to prevent the other party from coming to their door, they specifically bought a small courtyard near the Demon Suppression Division, which indeed avoided a lot of trouble.

As for the activation of [Bone Fang (Second Ring)], he was not surprised at all.

That courtyard we just saw was a base used by the Ten Thousand Evils Cave to relocate those who trafficked children, and it's closely related to the quest [Fang of the Bone Fang].

Normally, players need to investigate this place, clash with the disciples of the Ten Thousand Evil Cave in the stronghold, and finally obtain clues such as "Ten Thousand Evil Cave" and "Search for children with cultivation talent" to unlock the second part of the quest.

This task is quite difficult, complicated and dangerous, and time-consuming and laborious. However, since players have the ability to revive, as long as they spend more time and effort, they will eventually have a chance to find out the results.

However, Meng Yuan already knew the general plot of this series of missions, so there was no need for him to go through all that trouble.

In fact, the main reason why Wanxie Cave was carrying out large-scale trafficking and searching for children, besides looking for children with outstanding cultivation talent to be their disciples, was to find the reincarnation of a powerful Yang God named "Dahuang Sanren" in order to plot against some secrets of this big shot.

This hermit of the Great Wilderness is one of the Five Elders among the "Three Immortals, Five Elders and Eight Wonders," and is one of the most accomplished people in the world.

Given the presence of a powerful being of the Yang God level, especially the Great Wilderness Hermit, one of the Five Elders, it's not surprising that the Myriad Evil Cave would mobilize such a large force and make such a big fuss.

Before long, Meng Yuan returned to his own courtyard, entered the secluded meditation room, and sat down cross-legged.

The quest "Fangs of the Bones" is ultimately a minor matter.

For him, resolving the malformed sarcoma as soon as possible is the most urgent matter!

With a thought, Meng Yuan began to carefully examine the Three Corpse Dividing Technique recorded in the "Yama White Bone Book".

This secret technique is not complicated, but it is somewhat dangerous to use.

It requires condensing divine power into a blade, cutting out a portion of the divine soul, then refining this portion of the divine soul and integrating it into the skeleton demon, the puppet demon, or a blank corpse prepared in advance. Once the new body is adapted to and mastered, an additional clone will naturally be created!

After carefully studying the entire process from beginning to end, Meng Yuan closed his eyes and mentally rehearsed the process several times.

Once he was confident enough, he decisively took out the Mind-Clearing Pill and swallowed it directly.

The moment the pill entered his mouth, it transformed into a cool, thin stream that flowed into his stomach. Meng Yuan immediately felt a refreshing coolness in his head, his mind became clear and his vision sharpened, and all the distracting thoughts in his mind vanished without a trace. Even his thinking and reaction speed were a few times faster than usual.

Then, Meng Yuan once again unleashed the Purple Cloud True Fire, transforming it into a fire net that covered the mutated tumor, preventing it from causing any trouble.

At the same time, he also held the Crimson Thunder Talisman in his hand, just in case.

Then Meng Yuan internally focused on the Purple Mansion between his eyebrows, and following the method of the "Three Corpses Dividing the Spirit Technique," he formed hand seals and silently circulated his divine power.

More than half an hour later, in the Purple Mansion, before Meng Yuan's soul, there appeared a dazzling divine blade. It was not a physical object, but merely a somewhat illusory blade light, yet it exuded a sinister and sharp aura, giving Meng Yuan's soul a chilling feeling.

It seems that this divine blade poses a strong threat to the soul!
