Apprentice: I live in Xuanjie, from nine to five

The level of this monster in front of me is average.

Although he can change his appearance at will and imitate people's voices, he can't really hurt people.

So he can only rely on puppets to lure people into the cave.

Trapped people who had lost their eyesight and sanity in the cave, kept turning in circles, and used the altar to absorb people's energy.

The monster thought that Ye Chen had lost his sanity, so he said to Ye Chen: "Go, what you are looking for is ahead."

Ye Chen did not act rashly. He was very puzzled that the peak master of Qi Hanfeng in Beiming Holy Land had already reached the realm of a saint.

Why are you still confused by such a low-level monster?

In order to find out the secret, Ye Chen pretended to be insane, walked into the crowd slowly, followed Master Wu, and circled around the altar.

The monster jumped onto the altar, holding his head and thinking.

"46, now 47!"

"47!"

The monster kept muttering in a strange voice.

"Two more!"

"What to do! Puppets can't go down the mountain!"

"How can we let them go up the mountain!"

The monster scratched its skin, thinking hard.

Ye Chen mixed into the crowd and found that the aura from them was slowly pouring into the altar.

He glanced towards the center of the altar, where there were piles of human skulls, and in the center of the skulls was enshrined a glass bead emitting purple light.

It must have something to do with this.

Just as Ye Chen was thinking, the monster on the altar jumped down, walked up to Ye Chen, and lifted him out of the team.

"I said why can't you absorb your aura, it turns out that you are a mortal!"

Ye Chen didn't speak, just looked at it quietly.

It went on to say: "Minus you are three short!"

"So that's how it is." Ye Chen murmured, he had discovered the secret of the monster.

He walked directly to the center of the altar, and took the purple glazed bead in his hand.

Absorbing the spiritual energy of so many practitioners, this is a good treasure, if you don’t take it for nothing, don’t take it~

Seeing that he had regained his sanity, the monster panicked and hurried over to fight for it, saying, "You... how could you..."

Ye Chen easily stunned the monster and shattered the altar.

In an instant, everyone woke up.

"What's going on, haven't I almost reached my destination..."

"Yeah, I just saw the suzerain..."

"what happened……"

……

"Hey, Junior Brother Ye, why are you here!" Peak Master Wu first noticed Ye Chen on the side, and said in surprise.

"This mountain has been enchanted with illusions. When you entered the mountain, you lost your mind and were brought into the lair by the monster," Ye Chen continued, "Look at the scattered skulls over there, they are the people who were sucked by the monster."

Everyone looked towards the altar and found skulls scattered all over the place.

"What's going on?" Qi Hanfeng's Li Fengzhu, Li Daoyun, asked first.

Ye Chen continued: "Not long after you went up the mountain, Yuan Qing used a bronze mirror to tell us to go up the mountain. Only then did I realize something was wrong. I went up the mountain to look for you."

Ye Chen pointed to the monster's body again.

"What ghosts and sprites..."

Li Daoyun stepped forward, checked one or two, and said: "This seems to be a kind of mountain demon, which lures people up the mountain and absorbs the aura of practitioners to improve its cultivation."

"Hey, thanks to Junior Brother Ye!" Master Wu sighed as he pulled Ye Chen's hand.

And Li Daoyun and the disciples who humiliated Ye Chen before were also ashamed.

I really didn't expect to be hit by Ye Chen...

Ye Chen reminded: "Although this monster is dead, the illusion in the mountain still exists. Let's hurry down the mountain while everyone is awake."

"Then go down first..."

……

Just when everyone was about to leave the cave, there was a cry for help from the deepest part of the cave.

"Save me! Save me!"

……

"Is there anyone alive in this cave?"

"I gonna go see."

Ye Chen hurriedly searched for the sound, when a figure suddenly appeared and rushed towards him.

"Sir, save me!"

Ye Chen's nose was surrounded by a quiet fragrance, and the feeling of being hugged by that woman was very soft.

Seeing that she seemed to be terrified, Ye Chen quickly patted her on the shoulder like coaxing a child, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I have already killed that monster."

"Son..."

The woman seemed to have grasped the life-saving straw, hugged tightly, and buried her head in Ye Chen's arms.

The woman began to cry softly.

Ye Chen hurriedly comforted: "Stop crying, I will rescue you."

"Well... then thank you, my lord..."

After comforting her, he took her out.

Seeing that Ye Chen brought back an ordinary girl, Li Daoyun immediately asked, "Who is this girl, why did she get lost in the cave?"

After saluting, the woman took out an exquisite jade plaque from her bosom, handed it to Feng Master Wu, and said slowly: "I have seen all the elders, the young lady is Xie Lian'er, the daughter of the Xie clan. Because of the Taoist persecution, I was forced to flee, I thought of going out of this mountain, and went to Beiming Holy Land to join Sect Master Gu, but I didn't expect to encounter a monster..."

Master Wu Feng took the jade tablet and saw that there was a Xie Zi engraved on it, so he was sure that she was telling the truth: "What this girl said is true. This jade tablet is indeed for the exclusive use of Xie's clan."

Li Daoyun said: "We are all the peak masters of Beiming Holy Land. Xie's sect has made good friends with me Beiming Holy Land. Now that future generations are killed, we will definitely help them."

"Are you all the seniors of Beiming Holy Land?" Hearing Li Daoyun's words, Xie Lian'er was shocked but also a little happy.

If you break through the iron shoes, you can't find it, and it doesn't take much effort to get along.

With the light from the altar in the cave, Ye Chen carefully looked at the woman in front of him.

She has a pretty face, drooping eyebrows, tears in her eyes, a look that I still feel pity for.

He looked to be in his twenties, wearing a conspicuous red robe, with a white and pink complexion, and a good complexion.

Ordinary women in this cave, even if they were not eaten by monsters, would not look like this.

Ye Chen asked: "It's just that I don't understand. Since you are a descendant of the Nanman Xie family and have lived in Nanman for so long, you should also know that there are monsters in the mountains. How could you have fallen to this point? Now that you have fallen to this point, why didn't the monster attack you?" ?”

"Young Master, I don't know that Nanman massacred my Xie family's children wantonly. Although this monster is powerful, I can only risk my life in order to escape..." Xie Lian'er glanced at Ye Chen very carefully.

Seeing that he still didn't believe it, he explained one by one: "Also, this monster is specially used by the Taoist sect to absorb the aura of practitioners. I'm just a mortal body, useless to the monster. It wanted to starve me to death in this cave , and then make it into a puppet. Fortunately, I have a life-extending elixir with me, so I have survived until now..."

Li Daoyun looked at the monster on the ground that had been beaten to death by Ye Chen, and suddenly realized.

It turns out that the illusion in this mountain and this monster are all used by the Taoist sect to absorb the aura of outsiders.

Master Wu Feng sighed: "This Xuanmen is really unscrupulous in order to improve the strength of its own sect..."

"Miss Xie, you can follow us first, and we will settle you down when you leave Nanman," Li Daoyun said.

Although Xie Lian'er is just an ordinary person, although he needs protection, he is an aborigine after all.

In this southern barbarian territory, it is somewhat helpful.

Ye Chen remembered that Ruan Xingfei and Xia Wan'er were still waiting at the foot of the mountain. He suggested: "It's getting late now, and the illusion on the mountain is still unsolvable. It's too dangerous to go on. Why don't you go down the mountain first."

Li Daoyun and your other peak masters are not sure about the illusion on the mountain, so they can only decide to go down the mountain first...
