Chapter 3892 Empty City Strategy

The cave in front of us is very likely the stronghold of the remnants of the Blood Spirit Cult.

The two men in white Zhongshan suits immediately gave a shout and led their men to rush in.

At that moment, I suddenly realized something was wrong and called out to them, telling them not to make any rash moves.

Logically speaking, with Yuan Xiaomei's abilities, blocking the slovenly Taoist's long-range tracking technique should have been an easy task.

The reason we weren't blocked before was to lure us into a trap, to get us into the magic array, and then kill us in batches.

However, the fact that Xie Xiaoyu's aura had not yet been shielded and the Thousand-Mile Tracking Technique had not been severed meant that there was definitely still danger inside the cave.

Immediately, I briefly shared what I had thought of with everyone.

Hearing me say this, everyone nodded in agreement, finding it quite reasonable.

"Then what do we do? We can't just go back, can we?" Brother Gu said.

I glanced at the remaining thirty-odd people, each of them still looking shaken. The Blood Spirit Sect group had ravaged them, leaving them somewhat paranoid.

Even if we let them in now, I estimate that many of them would back down.

I pondered for a moment, then looked at the disheveled Taoist priest and Kassan: "Alright, the rest of you stay here. The three of us will go in and scout ahead. If there's any danger, we'll come back in time and think of another way."

"Xiao Jie, let's go together. What if you get trapped inside the cave?" Brother Gu was a little worried.

“It’s alright, we can protect ourselves. You all stay here and remember to take good care of Senior Zhang,” I said solemnly.

There are two people in white Zhongshan suits here, which will ensure everyone's safety.

After a brief discussion, the slovenly Taoist priest and I activated our invisibility talismans. After Kassan vanished into the void, we entered the cave ahead.

There was wind blowing in from inside the cave, indicating that there was clearly more than one exit.

There were still scattered bloodstains on the ground, indicating that the Blood Spirit Cult members who had been injured earlier were heading this way.

I sniffed and smelled a bloody odor coming from inside the cave.

On both sides of the cave, there were many braziers hanging, and the firelight flickered.

The cave was very deep, and the three of us carefully made our way forward after entering.

However, they did not encounter any dangers along the way.

After walking about two or three hundred meters forward, a huge stone chamber appeared ahead.

Upon entering the stone chamber, we were greeted by a breathtaking sight that left the three of us speechless.

But then, inside the stone chamber ahead, there appeared something that looked like a tower.

The tower has nine floors, and each floor is filled with corpses, all of them mummified.

These corpses were all wrapped in many red blood lines, connecting them to each other.

The higher you go, the fewer corpses there are on the tower.

At the very top of the tower, there is a platform where a person is sitting cross-legged. I looked closely and recognized her as Yuan Xiaomei.

In front of Yuan Xiaomei, countless red blood lines swayed incessantly, supporting a red bead.

I took a closer look, and it was indeed the Blood Refining Orb.

However, this Blood Refining Orb is a size larger than the one inside my body.

The red blood lines swayed constantly, as if they were supplying energy to the Blood Refining Orb.

Yuan Xiaomei formed a hand seal, and the Blood Refining Orb kept shaking in front of her.

Seeing this, I was completely dumbfounded. I was wondering why Yuan Xiaomei hadn't activated the Blood Refining Orb when she attacked us earlier. It turns out the Blood Refining Orb was here.

Like the Blood Spirit Ancestor, she also cultivated a malevolent object called the Blood Refining Orb.

At this moment, I took a closer look at the corpses hanging on the tower and found that many of them were wearing Taoist robes and monk robes.

In other words, the corpses that were hung on the tower and had their energy devoured by the Blood Refining Orb were all cultivators.

Yuan Xiaomei somehow managed to gather so many cultivators, all in an attempt to cultivate the Blood Refining Orb.

The Blood Refining Orb she cultivated was already much larger than the one inside my body as soon as it was refined.

This thing is definitely much more powerful than my Blood Orb.

These cult members really don't play by the rules; they actually resort to these crooked and evil methods.

At that moment, I suddenly realized why she hadn't cut off the slovenly Taoist's long-distance tracking technique.

Yuan Xiaomei is very likely playing a trick on us.

She estimated that not cutting off the long-distance tracking technique was to make us wary and timid.

Now that the Blood Refining Orb is about to be completed, she is using this empty city tactic to buy time.

Thinking of this, I immediately appeared and said to Kassan beside me, "Kassan, go and call those two men in white Zhongshan suits in."

Kasang responded and turned to disappear outside. The slovenly Taoist priest and I took out our magical artifacts and rushed towards the tower covered with corpses.

However, when we were still two or three meters away from the tower, suddenly a series of protective barriers of energy rose up from the ground, blocking our way.

At this moment, Yuan Xiaomei, who was sitting at the top, opened her eyes and looked at me and the slovenly Taoist priest with her beautiful eyes.

"I knew you'd come... but you're too late... my people have already left." Yuan Xiaomei smiled smugly.

The slovenly Taoist priest immediately took out his compass, examined it carefully, and cursed, "Damn it, I can't find him."

It has to be said that Yuan Xiaomei is indeed very cunning and calculating, almost as cunning as Liu Hao.

As she spoke, Yuan Xiaomei formed a hand seal, and the Blood Refining Orb floating in front of her suddenly shone brightly red, causing the red blood threads wrapped around the corpses to dance rapidly.

The corpses that were not yet shriveled quickly withered, and the red blood vessels rapidly drained the energy from them.

I circled the protective barrier in front of me, but I couldn't find the array's core, which means the core is inside the array.

Just when I was at my wit's end, Kassan came running over with two men in white Zhongshan suits.

"Seniors, you've come at the right time! Help me break this magic array and kill this old hag!" I shouted.

The two men in white Zhongshan suits glanced at the protective barrier in front of them, then each took out two golden talismans from their bodies, slapped them onto their magic swords, and slashed fiercely at the barrier.

After the two men in white Zhongshan suits slashed with their swords a few times, several cracks appeared on the protective barrier.

At this moment, I saw Yuan Xiaomei sneer at us, wave her hand, grab the bright red Blood Refining Orb, and slap it against her chest, causing the Blood Refining Orb to enter her body.

Moments later, the tower, laden with corpses, collapsed...
