Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 145 After the Storm (5)

"who?"

Before anyone could react, Shi Ming knocked the man unconscious with a single palm strike.

A large group of people stormed in, knocking out anyone they encountered, and physically assaulting those who couldn't be knocked out. Taking advantage of their numbers, they tied up the victims and dismantled any barriers they encountered.

They are quite skilled at this.

Suddenly someone remarked, "We really look like a bunch of bandits now."

Laughter erupted from all around.

It had been a long time since Chu Yeli had felt so lighthearted, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Luo Zai Shui, holding his sword, reminded him, "Stay vigilant. The further in you go, the more dangerous it becomes."

"Don't underestimate us."

Chu Yeli casually dismantled the array blocking their path, glanced at Shi Ming, and asked, "Who wants to scout ahead first?"

Shi Ming stepped forward on his own initiative, but Luo Zai Shui grabbed him.

"No need to investigate, let's go together."

Further in, there is a tunnel leading underground.

Shi Ming looked at Chu Yeli: "You take some men to provide support outside."

Chu Yeli shrugged, indicating that he had no objection.

Shi Ming led the way, followed closely by Luo Zai Shui, and then Su Wu Si and the others.

Su Wusi whispered a reminder: "Senior brothers and sisters, be careful of the traps."

"The organization? We metallurgists are very familiar with this."

Sun Yuan patted his chest and squeezed to the front: "Let me show you the strongest mechanical sorcerer!"

Sun Heng quickly caught up: "Brother, slow down."

"Hey, senior brother! I want to see the mechanism too!"

Luo Zai Shui inexplicably felt that they were on a trip.

The Metallurgical Sect truly lives up to its reputation as the sect most skilled in mechanical artifacts.

Sun Yuan took the lead, and when he encountered a mechanism, he smashed it with his hammer, rendering it useless.

The people following behind them were speechless.

Sun Heng was quite distressed: "Brother, these mechanisms are so ingenious, and you just smashed them like that?"

Sun Yuan said nonchalantly, "When things are urgent, you have to act accordingly. If you can't fight back, you can pick up these scraps and piece them together to make them usable."

The junior sister of the Metallurgical Sect lamented, "What a waste!"

"Alright, alright, let's go."

The further in you go, the dimmer the light becomes. The cold, damp air is filled with the smell of blood, and you can faintly hear the howls of some monsters.

"It's inside."

"Be careful."

Everyone revealed their magical artifacts, and Luo Zai Shui kicked open the stone door blocking their way.

Dead silence...

dead silence...

Then came the roars of the monsters and the sounds of them crashing into the cage.

Inside the cage, it was impossible to tell whether they were beasts or humans. They were going mad, trying to break free of their cages and tear themselves apart. An unsettling stench of blood permeated the air.

In the center of the countless cages was a stone platform, covered in bloodstains, its original appearance no longer visible.

"What are all these things?"

Some people exclaimed in amazement, but more were filled with fear.

"We can't let them out."

Luo said in a cold voice.

"But they're still alive!"

Some people disagreed.

Shi Ming sighed softly, "It would be better to be dead now."

Everyone fell silent.

Nie Xushuang broke the silence: "Let me try."

Luo Zai Shui pondered for a moment: "We can't stay here, it's too dangerous."

Nie Xushuang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what's important and what's urgent. Do you want to continue investigating?"

"Let's go check other places; there's definitely more than just this one problem."

……

At the border, a group of disciples stopped not far away to observe the situation.

"Senior Brother Ye, shall we not go up?"

Ye Xiao held his sword without making a sound.

Shen Xian, who had followed, laughed and said, "What's the point of taking action? Didn't you see that the demons are specifically targeting the Wen family? Isn't it more enjoyable to watch them fight like dogs?"

"Still watching the show?"

Xie Jing suddenly appeared, looking at them with a half-smile.

Ye Xiao was startled, then bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Martial Uncle."

"No need," Xie Jing waved his hand. "Where are the others, Shui and the others?"

"We went to investigate the Wen family."

Ye Xiao told the truth.

"I see." Xie Jing stroked his chin. "It seems the Wen family is about to get restless, Junior Nephew Ye."

"exist."

Ye Xiao bowed respectfully and awaited Xie Jing's instructions.

"I reckon the Wen family will cause some trouble soon. When that happens, you'll lead these people and storm in, understand?"

Ye Xiao was somewhat taken aback: "Break in?"

“Yes, just kill them.” Xie Jing looked into the distance. “This matter should be resolved as soon as possible.”

"understood."

As Xie Jing had predicted, a sudden commotion broke out in the crowd.

"what happened?"

Jiang Qian didn't see what happened clearly, but he saw the crowd that was originally gathered together suddenly disperse, with several disciples of the five major sects surrounding them in the middle.

Shen Xian saw it clearly and replied, "Someone has become possessed by a demon."

"Possessed by demons?"

Ye Xiao frowned slightly: "They all seem to be disciples of the five major sects. Regardless of their cultivation level, they are all people with firm minds. How could they easily fall into demonic possession?"

"Senior Brother Ye, what did you say?"

The disciples seemed to be desperately trying to explain, but someone had already drawn their sword and pointed it at them.

Among them were members of the Wen family.

Ye Xiao simply said, "Let's do it!"

"Now?"

Some people wondered, "Isn't it too early?"

"No." Ye Xiao was very firm. "If the Wen family wants to harm our disciples, we cannot let them succeed."

Ye Xiao directly blocked your way.

"Senior Brother Ye!"

They were overjoyed; the senior disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had returned.

Without saying a word, Ye Xiao drew his sword and killed the first few members of the Wen family.

"What is Young Master Ye doing?"

The Wen family members behind them were somewhat frightened and did not dare to step forward, only hiding behind the crowd.

Ye Xiao brandished his sword and coldly questioned, "What are you doing now?"

The Wen family member retorted, "They've fallen into demonic possession; they must be spies of the demon race."

Ye Xiao pointed his sword at him: "That's quite a coincidence, so many people falling into demonic possession at the same time."

"Senior Brother Ye, we haven't fallen into demonic possession..."

The explanations from those behind him were weak and unconvincing; they themselves didn't know what had happened.

"Do not worry."

Ye Xiao reassured them, "Until the truth is revealed, no one can harm you in the slightest."

"Is Young Master Ye planning to collude with these people?"

"Do not."

"My sword is only pointed at the evil and wicked in the world."

"You say they've fallen into demonic possession, then tell me, why don't they have any demonic energy left?"

Ye Xiao's words clearly shook the crowd somewhat. The Wen family insisted that they had fallen into demonic possession, but they didn't dare to step forward and make a move, after all, Ye Xiao's sword was not to be underestimated.

The commotion here indeed alerted the elders.

"Ye Xiao!"

Seeing his disciple return safely, the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect finally felt relieved. However, seeing his disciple surrounded by people, he couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

Ye Xiao sheathed his sword, and although he was answering the question from the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, his gaze was fixed on the head of the Wen family: "Someone deliberately framed these disciples for falling into demonic possession, intending to kill them to silence them. I was just preventing a tragedy."

"Everyone can see it, they're covered in demonic energy!"

The Wen family patriarch wore his usual hypocritical smile: "Everyone has seen it."

"Where's the evidence?" Ye Xiao interrupted him directly. "A few wisps of demonic energy are enough to prove they've fallen into demonic possession?"

For a moment, the situation remained deadlocked.
