The sick villain maxed out the favorability of the protagonist

The family of three went down with their own minds. This section of the passage is also quite long, and it extends obliquely with twists and turns, and they don't know where it leads.

After a long time, Li Yan and the three of them got out from the passage, and they all landed on a platform, and their eyes suddenly opened up.

This platform is just in front of the passage, and it seems to be specially used for people to settle down.

Looking up, there is a vast underground palace beyond the platform, and there is a round platform in the center of the underground palace nearly a hundred feet away, on which lies...

A corpse that looks like a human but is not human!

Li Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly felt that this underground palace was very familiar. From the layout to the style, it was similar to the underground palace in the Valley of Beasts that "given" them a demon king's horn.

The biggest difference was not in the corpse, but in the fact that the entire underground palace was still filled with the blue liquid, which made them dare not relax at all, otherwise they would be doomed.

"It's rare for you to be able to come here alive..."

While they were watching, such a sentence came to their ears suddenly, the three of them became vigilant, and subconsciously stared at the corpse on the platform in the distance.

But in the blink of an eye, Li Yan came to his senses, and said with a cold smile: "Since your Excellency intends to talk to us, why don't you show up? Don't continue to play tricks, it's too insincere!"

The corpse on the platform in the distance did not move, but the blue liquid that was only a dozen steps away from them suddenly rolled up and quickly condensed into a human form...

In the vigilant, curious and probing eyes of the three, a "weird" quickly took shape.

If only one word can be used to describe this "weird" formed by the blue liquid, then it should undoubtedly be "immortal style bone"——

That's right, it's not weird, nor eerie.

It is obvious that "his" body is translucent and crystalline, with a faint blue light, but the temperament and appearance of "his" give people the feeling of righteousness and immortality.

It formed a strong contrast with this weird underground palace.

Eyes and kindness, broad eyebrows and long beard, a Taoist robe...

"This is what I looked like when I was alive, and I kept it habitually, together with my clothes."

The tone of the strange man's speech was slightly jerky, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

Even so, his tone was very free and easy, and there was a kind of friendly smile in his eyes: "It will save a long time, and I even forgot what I look like."

Master Qingyuan and Jiang Anning stared blankly, a little confused about the current situation——

This is the rhythm to start small talk?

It's completely different from the scenes they imagined, such as fighting and uncovering the shocking conspiracy!
Li Yan stared at the person in front of him, and asked calmly, "What's your name?"

"You can call me by my previous name, Patriarch Minghua."

The strange man sighed, and said, "Or you can call me Old Ghost directly, as you like. No one has spoken to me for hundreds of years, and calling me has long since lost its meaning."

"Old Patriarch Minghua..." Master Qingyuan murmured, and pondered: "Your Excellency is my rightful senior?"

According to the long-established habit in the cultivation world, the suffix "Old Ancestor" refers to the orthodox cultivator and the demonic Nascent Soul cultivator respectively.

But the monk of the Demonic Dao would probably not use the word "Minghua" as his title, and coupled with the temperament and appearance of the person in front of him, he made a rough judgment.

The weird man who claimed to be the ancestor of Minghua nodded, and smiled kindly: "I used to be the Supreme Elder of the Chiyue Gang. Seeing the righteousness of the three of you, you must be in the right way?"

Li Yan looked solemn, cupped his hands in salute and said, "I've seen you, senior."

As he spoke, he pointed to Master Qingyuan, "My master is currently the head of Tianyuan."

What he said was the truth. As for the fact that he himself "concurrently held the position" as the Supreme Demon Dao, it seemed better not to mention it for the time being.

Patriarch Minghua was surprised and delighted and said: "Very good, good, good, fellow Taoist turns out to be the head of Tianyuan... Your disciple is also a hero among people, he is really a famous teacher who produces a great disciple!"

Master Qingyuan secretly glanced at Li Yan, took a step forward tacitly, stood at the head of the three, and said with a smile:
"It's easy to say, I never thought that the three of us, the master and the apprentice, would meet someone with the same path in such a dangerous place. It's even lucky!"

Hearing the meaning of inquiry in Qingyuan Master's words, Minghua Patriarch smiled and sighed:
"Isn't it? It's really rare for you to come here. Maybe it's the heaven's blessing that doesn't make my human race miserable."

As he said that, he waved his sleeves, and the blue liquid that had surrounded Li Yan and the three of them suddenly stopped flowing towards them, but spread outwards, leaving them a "clean place".

Real person Qingyuan said in surprise: "Senior can control this blue liquid that easily kills people, it's really amazing!"

He exchanged glances with Li Yan and his wife, and the three of them put away the magic weapon with a smile.

But in fact, their vigilance is quite a bit, and the spiritual light of the magic weapon is always in a state of being unreleased.

Patriarch Minghua nodded, shook his head again, turned around and drifted towards the platform where the corpses were placed in the middle of the underground palace, and said, "I know you have many questions, come with me, we will talk as we walk."

Now that the matter has developed to this point, of course the three of them followed up decisively.

"This place has existed for tens of millions of years, and it has also swallowed the lives of countless masters...including me."

Ancestor Minghua drifted forward on his own, as if caught in a deep memory.

But he still pays great attention to "hospitality"——

Li Yan and the three of them stepped on the flying sword and followed slowly. The blue liquid flowed away as they passed, as if splitting waves, and they didn't need to sacrifice magic weapons anymore.

From this point of view alone, the person in front of him is still friendly for the time being.

"Just after I fell in and died, my thoughts were muddled, and I didn't know where it was going to be.

Later, after absorbing some kind of energy from this blue liquid, I gradually woke up again, existing in this half-soul, half-ghost state, and had enough time to explore the mysteries here. "

Patriarch Minghua led the three of them to the center of the underground palace, pointed at the corpse on the platform, and said:

"As you can see, everything here is inseparable from it, and you must have seen it, it is...an ancient monster."

The three looked closely, and saw that the corpses on the platform were [-]% human-like and [-]% beast-like:
From the facial features to the body, it is no different from ordinary people, but it has a single horn on its head, and its hands and feet are in the shape of three-fingered claws. It is obviously not very human. It seems that it may really be the legendary ancient monster.

"Senior, what do you mean, this demon is the one who initiated this catastrophe?"

Master Qingyuan frowned tightly, staring at the demon corpse, and said in a deep voice:

"A few days ago, the blue liquid here surged up to the surface, engulfing thousands of magic weapons, drawing the attention of practitioners all over the world to the vicinity, and then using the power of thousands of demon souls to kill...

All kinds of chaos make people feel at a loss, can seniors explain it to us in detail? "
