Chapter 669 Shadow Cult
The gray-robed and masked man Ye Tiance and Saint Yuxi.
Suddenly he smiled.
He slowly said, "We are all trapped here now. The mountain walls around us are indestructible, and the cave above our heads is sealed tightly. It is extremely difficult for us to get out with our own strength. Why don't we put aside our past grudges, cooperate, and find a way to leave together? Let's not start a war, how about that?"
Saint Yuxi responded coldly: "You are such an ambitious person. Cooperating with you will only harm us!"
The gray-robed masked man said, "If the Saint is not satisfied, you can just kill me. I promise I will never fight back! But unfortunately, even if you kill me, you can't find a way to escape immediately. It's better to have one more person and one more time to think!"
As he spoke, his eyes were always secretly looking at Ye Tiance.
He knew that the decision on whether to cooperate was in Ye Tiance's hands.
Similarly, the person who posed the greatest danger to him among all those present was Ye Tiance!
At this time, there was no extra expression on Ye Tiance's face, making it difficult for people to understand.
He slowly said, "If you want us to cooperate with you, you must first explain your identity, origin, and what Lord Wu's plan is this time. After all, I don't want to work with someone whose background is unknown in this unclear situation. Otherwise, I might be stabbed in the back at any time, which would be unjust."
"This……"
The masked man in gray robe hesitated for a moment.
Ye Tiance said calmly: "If you don't want to say it, you can die now!"
As he spoke, a ball of spiritual energy slowly gathered on the surface of his fist!
The gray-robed masked man's eyelids twitched.
Although he knew that Ye Tiance had been seriously injured in the previous battle with Lord Wu, and his spiritual energy was almost exhausted, which greatly reduced his strength, but he had also been injured before and might not be Ye Tiance's opponent; besides, there was Saint Yuxi beside him.
Once a conflict occurs, he will definitely be the one to die in the end.
So he pretended to be relaxed and smiled.
"We are all trapped here. Since Brother Ye wants to know, I have nothing to hide!"
While talking.
The masked man in gray robe slowly took off his mask.
A rather handsome face gradually emerged. Unlike the haggard and ugly faces of other masked men, his face was full of life and energy.
The only thing about him is his red eyes, which are exactly the same as those of the other masked men.
Ye Tiance was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting that the true face of the gray-robed and masked man would be like this.
You know, people who have taken prohibited drugs will be affected and changed in their body structure and appearance. Why is this person not affected?
The gray-robed and masked man seemed to see Ye Tiance's doubts, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
He said, "From what Brother Ye showed me earlier, I think he already knows that all of us have used forbidden drugs and our bodies have been poisoned, so we have to be controlled! I am also a victim, but because my body is a little special, my body didn't change too much in the end, but I also suffered day and night and endured endless pain! I forgot to mention that my name is Gong Yuan, and I am not from Tiannan Province, but from the neighboring Tianbei Province. As for my own background, there is nothing special about it, it is really not worth mentioning!"
Tianbei Province?
Isn't this the same as Zhuge Ruizhi?
Ye Tiance did not continue to ask about Gong Yuan's family situation, identity and other information.
Instead, he continued to ask, "This Lord Wu uses forbidden drugs to control so many people. What kind of power is behind him?"
Gong Yuan sighed and said, "The power behind Lord Wu is... called the Shadow Cult. They are like shadows hidden in the darkness, manipulating everything, making people defenseless and terrified!"
"The Shadow Cult?"
Ye Tiance frowned slightly. This was the first time he heard of this name.
However, the expression of Saint Yuxi standing aside became solemn.
"I have heard of the Shadow Cult. It is said that this is an ancient mysterious force, mysterious and powerful. It has committed many horrific events and is notorious. Mentioning this name in the Xuan Realm will make people tremble with fear. However, as far as I know, they disappeared a long time ago. It is said that they were involved in a catastrophe and destroyed. How can they still exist in this world?"
Gong Yuan looked at Ye Tiance and Saint Yuxi and said, "Yes, some members of the Shadow Cult did survive the catastrophe. These people have been hiding in the dark, and have been working to restore the glory of the Shadow Cult. They are looking for all kinds of resources and power, and are using all means to strengthen themselves. This time, they are controlling us and looking for the treasure of Master Mo Yuan for this purpose."
Ye Tiance narrowed his eyes and asked seriously: "Oh? What exactly is the treasure you are talking about? It can't be so broad, right?"
Facing Ye Tiance’s serious expression.
Gong Yuan hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "In fact, their goal this time is to find the body of Master Mo Yuan. It is said that the Shadow Cult wants to use this body to revive someone. But I don't know who it is. Even though I have been with Master Wu for many years, my identity and authority are limited. In the final analysis, those of us who are controlled are just following orders and have no idea of their true purpose."
Ye Tiance frowned slightly.
Resurrecting an unknown person really sounds like a fantasy!
After all, everyone knows that the dead cannot be resurrected. Even if Ye Tiance is proficient in medicine, he cannot do such a thing!
What Ye Tiance couldn’t understand was that Master Mo Yuan had been dead for more than a hundred years. How could his complete body be preserved?
If it could really be preserved, then why didn't the body appear in the ebony coffin, and where is the body now?
Ye Tiance's intuition told him that this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed!
Ye Tiance stared at Gong Yuan and asked, "What is Lord Wu's purpose in capturing Ye Ling'er?"
Gong Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure about this, but I guess it may be related to Ye Ling'er's special physique. Ye Ling'er may have some qualities they need, and can play a key role in the process of resurrecting that mysterious person. I seem to have heard them vaguely mention this before!"
Hear the words.
Ye Tiance frowned even more tightly, and his worry about Ye Ling'er grew stronger.
We must find a way to leave here as soon as possible and rescue Ye Ling'er, otherwise...
Just then, the ground shook.
Then, an old voice suddenly sounded.
The sound seemed to come from a distant time and space, carrying with it endless vicissitudes and mystery.
"Who are you waiting for to trespass here?"
