Although Song Qingming had met Gao Yuyao only a few times, the memory of cultivators was far superior to that of ordinary mortals. It was impossible for him to forget the appearance of someone he had met several years ago so quickly. As soon as he saw Gao Yuyao next to Lu Yunfei, Song Qingming recognized her immediately.
Gao Yuyao was also very surprised to see Song Qingming here. Seeing that Song Qingming's eyes were always looking at her, it seemed that he had recognized her, but Gao Yuyao's eyes suddenly turned to the side and did not respond to his gaze.
Seeing that Gao Yuyao didn't want to reveal her acquaintance with him in front of everyone, Song Qingming was a little puzzled, but not surprised.
When Gao Yuyao traded the elixir with him, she had specifically told Song Qingming not to let anyone else know about what was going on between them.
Seeing Gao Yuyao like this, Song Qingming quickly shifted his gaze to avoid being noticed by the several cultivators beside him about the abnormality in his gaze.
After everyone gathered together, under the command of the red-clothed woman from the Xiaoyao Sect, they first gathered the seriously injured monks together. The old man Shi Mofeng was also lucky enough to withstand Yang Wuqi's attack. Although he was seriously injured, he still survived tenaciously.
Gao Yuyao also quickly distributed some healing pills to everyone. Then, the monks who were still able to move, under the command of the woman in red, worked together to destroy the altar in the mountain.
Building such a huge altar requires a lot of materials and supplies. It must have taken a lot of time and manpower for Yang Wuqi and his group of demon cultivators to transport these materials into the deep mountains.
Today they completely destroyed the altar. This group of demon cultivators will definitely not be able to perform such blood sacrifices again in a short period of time. This can be regarded as a major event in destroying this group of cunning demon cultivators.
Not long after the altar was destroyed, a green light appeared in the sky and turned into a flying boat from far away. Liu Xingfeng, who had just gone to chase Yang Wuqi, returned here with a serious expression.
Seeing that his master looked a little unwell, Gao Yuyao hurried forward and asked with concern: "Master, are you okay?"
Liu Xingfeng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I just lost a little energy. It's nothing serious. I'll be fine after recuperating for a while. It's a pity that I couldn't kill the demon and let him escape again."
After comforting the flustered Gao Yuyao, Liu Xingfeng continued with a serious expression:
"I didn't expect this devil to have been dormant here for several years. He has even forged another devil sword. I almost suffered a great loss just now because I didn't investigate. Fortunately, he hasn't yet fully refined the devil sword. When I return this time, I will immediately report to the sect and send more people to search for Yang Wuqi. Otherwise, when his devil sword is fully refined in the future, I may not be his opponent."
"Master, don't worry. We have just completely destroyed the altar that Old Demon Yang used for blood sacrifice. I believe that he will not be able to find a suitable place to sacrifice and refine the magic sword in the next few years."
The woman in red pointed to the huge altar a hundred feet behind her, which had completely turned into ruins, and said to Liu Xingfeng with a smile.
Liu Xingfeng looked at the completely destroyed altar in the distance, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Zi Yan, take them to search the area again to find where Old Demon Yang's cave is hidden. We must clean this place out completely."
"The disciple understands."
Xu Ziyan and Gao Yuyao nodded respectively and began to arrange those who were still able to move at the scene to search around the altar. They soon found the cave where this group of demon cultivators lived four or five miles behind the altar.
Xu Ziyan is Liu Xingfeng's eldest disciple and has always been rigorous in her work. Although she is not Liu Xingfeng's favorite disciple, she has followed her master for the longest time, and Liu Xingfeng has always trusted her very much. Many things that she is not convenient to handle are handed over to Xu Ziyan, the eldest disciple, to handle.
All the demon cultivators in the cave had already fled in a hurry by now. Xu Ziyan, Gao Yuyao and everyone else only found some low-level magic tools used by the demon cultivators and supplies for their daily life in the cave, as well as some remaining materials for building an altar hidden in the cave.
The magic weapons used by the demon cultivators have long been infected by the demonic energy. If ordinary cultivators rashly sacrifice and refine them, the high-level demon cultivators who refined the magic weapons may use the demonic energy to parasitize into the cultivator's soul. Over time, the cultivators who sacrifice and refine the magic weapons will slowly be remotely controlled and possessed by the demon cultivators.
Magical tools of demon cultivators were found in the cave, along with other supplies and materials. Xu Ziyan arranged for people to collect them and bring them back to the camp, and then slowly and completely destroy them, to prevent any greedy cultivators from using these things for sacrifices and being controlled by the demon cultivators in the future.
After working for a long time, everyone finally managed to transport all the things in the demon cultivator's cave back to the camp, including the few wandering cultivators rescued by Song Qingming and others, who also followed them here.
To be honest, Hu Daozhen and his companions really had a lucky life. They were previously captured by the evil cultivators and brought to the Floating Cloud Mountains. If they had not happened to meet Lu Yunfei and his men who raided the altar, they would have become a wisp of wronged souls in Yang Wuqi's magic sword after today.
After being rescued by Song Qingming and the others, they had been following Song Qingming. When they saw Yang Wuqi, the foundation-building demon cultivator, coming out, they wanted to escape quickly, but because their cultivation was too low, they and Song Qingming were entangled by the demon cultivators who came from behind.
Therefore, they were the farthest away from the location where Yang Wuqi launched the Soul-Chasing Bell magic weapon, and luckily avoided the attack of this soul magic weapon. They only suffered some minor injuries and successfully dragged Liu Xingfeng to this place. Except for one person who accidentally injured his meridians while fighting with the demon cultivator, the rest of them successfully survived to the end.
On the contrary, although people like Lu Yunfei have higher cultivation and magic power, their luck is far worse than that of Hu Daozhen and others.
Wei Tong and his companions, eager to make a contribution, went to chase the fleeing demon cultivators, but unfortunately they ran into Yang Wuqi, a demon master with profound magical powers who had reached the foundation-building stage. Two of the five people died on the spot, including Feng Laogui, whom Song Qingming had just met.
When everyone was fleeing, people with higher cultivation levels like Lu Yunfei and Shi Mofeng ran ahead because of their greater magical powers, which quickly attracted the attention of Yang Lao Mo. Unfortunately, they were always the focus of attention of powerful demon cultivators like Yang Wuqi and Gu Liangshan, and in the end they suffered heavy casualties.
Both Lu Yunfei and Shi Mofeng were seriously injured. Although they were lucky enough to survive, they were unable to use their own magic power temporarily due to their serious injuries. It would take at least three to five years to fully recover.
There were also three cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage who were attacked at close range by the Soul-Chasing Bell in Yang Wuqi's hand because they rushed in too fast. They became distracted and could not use their magical powers. They lost their lives and died at the hands of the evil cultivators such as Gu Liangshan.
Once these Qi-refining cultivators encounter a Foundation-Building Demon Cultivator with profound magical powers like Yang Wuqi, whether they can survive depends entirely on their own luck.
After transporting the supplies from the Demon Cultivator's Cave back to the camp, under the personal supervision of Liu Xingfeng, Chen Ziyang and several other Xiaoyao Sect cultivators immediately began to destroy these things after they were ready. Song Qingming and others returned to their respective tents to recuperate.
