The population of the Shuili tribe is less than one-tenth of that of the Huoli tribe, so the power among the Li people is very weak.

If it weren't for the maintenance of the temple, the Shuili tribe would have been annexed long ago.

Because of the weakness of the power, the Shui Li patriarch couldn't go into the temple dungeon to see the Linglong Holy Maiden.

The Holy Maiden of Meng Miao thought for a moment before she said: "I have a way to enter the dungeon, but I have to be very careful, I can't make too much noise when the time comes, and it will be troublesome if the guards find out." ”

The matter was urgent, Li Luojiao didn't want to delay time, so she asked the Holy Maiden of Meng Miao to enter the secret passage of the temple that night.

Ye Xuan went with them.

Li Luojiao originally didn't want an outsider to know too many secrets of the Li clan, but she needed to ask the Linglong Holy Maiden about the ins and outs of the whole matter, so it was necessary to bring Ye Xuan with her.

At night.

The group of three came to the waterfall in the mountain behind the Li Temple, and the Holy Maiden of Meng Miao took the lead in jumping into the waterhole under the waterfall, and Ye Xuan and Li Luojiao followed and jumped in.

The three of them swam through an underwater tunnel, and when they surfaced, they came to an underground cavern.

The cave was very dark, and the Holy Maiden of Meng Miao took out a glowing bead and barely illuminated the environment in the cave.

Before the beads illuminated this "cave", Ye Xuan had already probed it with his divine thoughts.

This is not a natural cave, but a man-made passage with a smooth floor and walls.

The Holy Maiden of Meng Miao led the way in front and walked forward along the underground passage.

Because of its connection to the waterhole, this underground passage is very humid and has a musty smell in the air.

"Holy Maiden, how did you know about this secret passage, and wouldn't you be discovered by the guards when you came in this way?" asked Li Luojiao aloud.

"Don't worry. I grew up in a temple, and this secret passage is known only to me. Even Luan Yan didn't know. The Holy Maiden of Meng Miao said with some pride.

After the change of each generation of high priests of the Li tribe, a group of girls will be selected from the two tribes of Shui Li and Huo Li, raised in the temple, and then two of the best will be selected to become saints.

Therefore, every generation of saints is very familiar with the temple.

The Holy Maiden of Meng Miao passed through the secret passage and drew a formation pattern in front of the stone gate at the end, opening the stone door.

The three of them walked out of the passage and came to a dilapidated stone room.

This stone chamber is one of the more remote parts of the temple.

Li Luojiao looked around and said, "I have never been here, and there is such a dilapidated place in the temple. ”

"I heard the high priest say that this place was the retreat of the Linglong Holy Maiden five hundred years ago, and after the death of the Linglong Holy Maiden, this place was abandoned, and no one repaired it, and over time it became like this. The Holy Maiden of Meng Miao explained.

After arriving here, the Holy Maiden of Meng Miao put away the beads and said, "Go out from here, turn a passage, and there is the underground corridor of the temple, and the entrance to the dungeon is at the end of the corridor. Temple guards patrol the area every other hour, so be careful. ”

She said with a slight estimate, and said, "There is still half an hour before the guards patrol, and the guards go to inspect the dungeon every time they patrol, so we only have half an hour." ”

As she spoke, she walked out of the ruined stone chamber and walked briskly through the cloister.

Ye Xuan and Li Luojiao immediately followed, and the three of them performed a simple trick and walked briskly through the corridor to the entrance of the dungeon at the end.

The entrance to the dungeon is locked.

The Holy Maiden of Meng Miao took out a key and pulled it a few times before opening the door.

When the door opened, a diagonal downward passage was revealed.

The passage is fast, with ten steps.

After walking down, you will find yourself in a dimly lit dungeon.

The dungeon is very spacious and not dirty.

Because the temple dungeon usually only imprisons the attendants who have made mistakes in the temple, although they are waiters, the identity of the temple attendants is also relatively noble in the clan.

At this time, there were no other prisoners in the temple dungeon, only the Linglong Holy Maiden was held in the cell at the end.

"How did you get in?"

As soon as the three of them entered the dungeon, the Linglong Holy Maiden knew about it and was the first to speak.

Li Luojiao walked up with a solemn expression and said, "More than ten days ago, you said that there was something important to announce, but you didn't tell me what it was. Now I know the truth from an outsider, and I came in to confirm it with you. ”

The Linglong Holy Maiden stood in the cell and said helplessly: "Since it is what he said, it is all true." He doesn't lie. ”

"So, my Holy Maiden of the Shuili Tribe, was really killed by the patriarch of the Huoli Tribe?" Li Luojiao said with a little anger.

"I was indeed killed after hearing the conversation between the Huoli Patriarch and a Heavenly Demon, I didn't see clearly who did it, the other party was too strong. However, in the end, my body became the corpse puppet of the Demon Palace, and the one who killed me in the first place may be a heavenly demon. The Linglong Holy Maiden sighed leisurely.

"Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter first?" asked Li Luojiao a little angrily.

"This is a scandal of the Li people, and I didn't want to make it public. The Linglong Holy Maiden said helplessly.

"Then what are you holding the whole clan meeting for, aren't you going to announce what the Huo Li Patriarch has done?" Li Luojiao asked with a frown.

"No, I originally meant to force the Huoli Patriarch to come and talk to me. As long as he is willing to lower his posture a little and talk to me, I will ask him to get rid of the clamps of the Heavenly Demon Clan. As long as he is willing to agree, I will hide the original incident and not mention it. It's just that I didn't expect that he never thought of talking to me at all, and directly sent a Martial God Realm powerhouse to kill me. The Lady sighed.

She paused, then said, "Three days ago, after consulting with the High Priest, I took the initiative to go to see the Patriarch of Huoli, hoping that he would be able to raise the strength of the whole clan to fight against the Heavenly Demon. In that case, the Li clan is facing only one Heavenly Demon Clan force, and with the strength of the Li clan, it can still be opposed. However, in the end, he still did not agree and ordered me to be locked up. ”

"Yan Tianye, is he crazy, how dare he kill the Holy Maiden of our clan!" Li Luojiao was furious when she heard the answer from the mouth of the Linglong Holy Maiden.

That's when it happened.

The door to the dungeon was slammed open.

A group of Huoli guards rushed in and surrounded the trio.

Immediately after, a voice came in from outside, laughing maniacally.

"I knew you had other accomplices, and I just used a little trickery to get them all out. Hahaha......"

With laughter, the Huoli Patriarch Yan Tianye strode into the dungeon.

Ye Xuan looked back and saw that this Huoli patriarch looked to be in his fifties, but he had actually been a Huoli patriarch for five hundred years.

Yan Tianye waved his hand and said, "Arrest them all, wait for two days, and execute them together." ”

Ye Xuan stood in front of the Meng Miao Holy Maiden and the Shui Li Patriarch, and said with a faint smile: "I'm afraid your plan is going to fail, you can kill many people in this world, but I dare to guarantee that even if you are given ten guts, you will not dare to kill me." ”
