Qiu Yihan, the Left and Right Guardians, and the other two had already reached the end of the snowy land in the time it took to brew a cup of tea. The steep cliffs in front of them were covered in snow, and the deep valley below them was filled with cold wind. Qiu Yihan stopped in his tracks and looked down at the huge rock beneath his feet. The reddish-brown rock weighed at least 200 pounds, and it was lying in front of the three of them like a strong calf. Qiu Yihan smiled faintly as she gathered her True Qi and bent down slowly. Was she going to move away this obstacle? Or should he test his own strength? Just as she was about to extend her hand, Zhang Ying strode forward and blocked her way."Young miss, it's better to belong!" As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his rough hands and moved the big stone to the side as easily as grabbing an egg. Qiu Yihan took a step back unhappily. Why do you always look down on me? Could it be that I really can't move this boulder? Moving the boulder away, he saw a ravine three inches deep and two inches wide. There was an iron rope as thick as a wrist in the ravine, shining with a dazzling black light under the white snow. Zhang Ying took out the metal rope and handed it to Qiu Yihan respectfully,""Miss, please!"
Qiu Yihan took the rope and floated towards the valley. Her white dress floated in the deep valley like a snowflake dancing in the wind. Then, Zhang Ying jumped down with the rope in his hand. Chou Wudi looked down and saw that the two of them had safely landed on a platform about 70 to 80 feet from the bottom of the valley. He slowly retracted the rope and pressed the rock on it. After everything was done, he spread his arms and flew toward the valley like a black eagle. His Light-body Technique could be counted on one's fingers in Jianghu. Such a height was a piece of cake for him.
The three of them met up on the platform. This spacious platform was actually a huge rock protruding from the cliff. Surrounded by mountains, it was unusually warm. Emerald trees and fragrant flowers decorated this small bluestone platform like a fairyland. Qiu Yihan was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty of the world. She followed the left and right guardians to a stone wall. There were three striking words carved on the stone wall with gold powder: " White Bone Cult " Zhang Ying reached out and pulled the iron ring beside the stone wall. With a loud crash, a cave that could accommodate four people slowly appeared in the middle of the stone wall. The three of them walked into the cave side by side. Then, with another loud bang, the stone wall slowly closed. This was the White Bone Cult that had stirred up trouble in Jianghu. Because it was hidden in this mysterious stone wall, no one knew its true location for decades. As a result, no one could eliminate Leng Feihu despite all his evil deeds.
Qiu Yihan's face was filled with worry, while the Left and Right Guardians 'faces were cold. The three of them were like zombies that had crawled out of a grave, moving mechanically in the cave. The sound of their footsteps was chilling. Disciples of the sect stood on both sides of the cave. They were all dressed in white and wore skull masks. There were more than a hundred of them. The cave was very long, and Qiu Yihan and the others had walked for half a cup of tea's time. After they exited the cave, they found themselves in a large courtyard filled with the scent of spring. The courtyard was surrounded by expensive flowers and plants, and the fragrance was overwhelming. There were two stone tables on the open space for chess, and a swing not far from the stone tables. It was hard to believe that this was the eerie and terrifying White Bone Cult, but more like the small farmhouse of that family.
Qiu Yihan looked up and saw a blooming peony. The sadness on her face slowly disappeared, and a beautiful smile slowly spread on her face. She needed to relax in front of the flowers. She knew that she would have to change her face to a cold one when she saw her father, because only killing and brutality could survive in the White Bone Cult. Only a cold expression would please her father.
"Miss, Cult Master is in the cultivation room! Please don't delay the time again!" Chou Wudi said loudly. His voice was so loud that it was like thunder, almost enough to shock the eardrums of others.
Qiu Yihan stopped smiling and took a deep breath. She followed behind the Left and Right Guardians and reluctantly walked towards the Sect Master's training room.
The training room was located in a stone cave behind the courtyard. There were two disciples guarding the entrance of the cave. Usually, only the Cult Master would go in and out of the cave. Qiu Yihan had been teaching the White Bones Cult for fifteen years, but she had never gone in more than half of the time. However, the Cult Master had invited her to the cave. What was the conspiracy hidden in this dark cave? Qiu Yihan could not help but feel a chill down her spine. However, what was the use of being afraid? She had to face what she had to face!
"Young miss, quickly go in!" Zhang Ying's cold voice made everyone's hair stand on end.
Qiu Yihan looked at the left and right protectors nervously, hoping that they would accompany her. However, that was just wishful thinking. The left and right protectors had already left the place at lightning speed. They knew that the Cult Master did not want anyone to appear at his cultivation place, so they did not dare to stay for a moment. Looking at the two disciples guarding the door, their faces were ashen and expressionless, like puppets. Seeing that no one could help her, Qiu Yihan had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the cave.
Skulls and human bones were strewn all over the cave. A fresh corpse was lying on the stone wall not far away. Dark red blood was flowing from the ground. The strong smell of blood and decay made Qiu Yihan retch. This terrifying scene made her tremble and she did not dare to take another step forward. Oh my god, what's going on? Qiu Yihan was overwhelmed by fear and did not dare to open her eyes.
"Why are you only here now?" A voice came from the depths of the cave. Qiu Yihan knew that it was her father's voice. The fear she felt earlier had subsided a lot, but it was followed by nervousness. Only her father came in and out of this place. So many bones and corpses must have been his doing. What was he doing? Don't tell me you want to find me too…
"What are you thinking about?" A white-haired old man appeared beside Qiu Yihan. He was none other than the White Bone Cult Master, Leng Feihu.
"Father…Find…Yihan, what's the matter?" Qiu Yihan's voice was trembling due to her nervousness and fear.
"Yihan, are you scared by these things?!" Leng Feihu laughed loudly.”With a wave of his sleeve, he flung the corpse out of the cave.
"No... No, he didn't. However, Yihan didn't understand why her father's training room had these things.”Qiu Yihan asked tentatively. She did not want her guess to be correct. After all, he was her father. She did not want her father to be a demon who killed without batting an eyelid.
Leng Feihu looked at the human bones on the ground and said coldly,""Since you asked, I'll tell you. I've been in seclusion for two years to practice the 'Blood Sucking Bone Eroding Art'. There are ten levels to this art. The first five levels are practiced with corpses, absorbing the blood and semen of the corpses to boost one's internal energy. The last five levels require living people to practice.”
After hearing her father's words, Qiu Yihan's body trembled uncontrollably. She could not believe that her father was practicing such an evil martial art. She hated herself for being born in such a despicable place and for having such a cruel father.
"Yihan, do you know why Father is looking for you today?”Leng Feihu looked at his daughter coldly.
"Yihan doesn't know!" Qiu Yihan had her eyes closed as she spoke to her father. She did not want to see his ferocious face.
"Only the two of us know about Father's cultivation technique. I need a living person to cultivate it now. I hope you can help me!”Leng Feihu stared at his daughter coldly. His gaze told Qiu Yihan that she could only obey. If she did not, he would not treat her well even if she was his daughter.
Qiu Yihan shuddered at the sight of her father's gaze. She knew that she had no reason to reject him. Only by obeying him would she be able to see the sun tomorrow.
Qiu Yihan nodded slowly and agreed to his father's request. She wondered why her father didn't ask the Left and Right Guardians for help. Could it be that he was afraid that they would find out that she was practicing evil martial arts? He could have found Qingxiang without asking the Left and Right Guardians. After all, his sister was a few times more hard-hearted than her. She should be a hundred times better than her at doing such a job, but why did his father choose her? Could it be that he was testing her?
Leng Feihu was delighted that his daughter had agreed to his request. He turned around and patted Qiu Yihan's shoulder,""Very good, I want to see a living person tonight!”
"I know, Father! If there's nothing else, Yihan will leave first!”Qiu Yihan whispered. She wanted to leave this place as soon as possible so that she could get some fresh air.
"You can go now!" After Leng Feihu finished speaking, he flew into the cave in a flash. Qiu Yihan heaved a sigh of relief and walked out of the cave. She felt much more relaxed when she saw the flowers in the courtyard. She wished that her life would only be accompanied by flowers and that there would be no bloody killings. However, that seemed too far away from her. The only way to survive was to constantly rob and kill. She did not know who would be unlucky enough to become her prey tonight, her father's food…
