The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 609: Infiltrating the Shenyuan Sect

This place was not far from Wen Ding’s old stronghold. Tang Yan arrived at the mountain gate and looked at the ruins of the former splendor, and sighed softly.

The rise of a sect is bound to be full of swords and thorns.

After watching for a while, Tang Yan was about to go to the Su family when he suddenly sensed that there was a fluctuation in Sun Jincheng's sub-Gu.

It should be the supplier of the snow monkeys who showed up.

Transforming into the appearance of a swordsman, Tang Yan communicated with the Void Pearl in Qingbao Pavilion. With a thought, he appeared in the exclusive room reserved for him by Sun Jincheng.

Tang Yan connected with Sun Jincheng's son Gu and asked about the situation.

Based on Sun Jincheng's feedback, Tang Yan knew that the visitor was Qian Hun, who was resting in Sun Jincheng's study at the time.

When we arrived at Sun Jincheng's study, the fat Sun Jincheng was pouring tea for a middle-aged man.

The man was not tall, had a gloomy face, cold eyes, and an expression that said, "Don't approach me."

Tang Yan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the person selling the monkey was actually a first-grade master.

Seeing Tang Yan, Qianhun frowned and looked at Sun Jincheng unhappily: "Master Sun, who is this?"

What answered him was a fierce palm strike from Tang Yan.

The terrifying aura made Qianhun’s eyes widen in fear.

He wanted to resist, but his body was firmly restrained by the powerful force around him. Then a huge force hit him and knocked him unconscious.

A green light entered his mind and his vision instantly became clear.

"What's your name? What force are you from?" Tang Yan asked.

"I am Qianhun from the Shenyuan Sect." The man answered honestly.

Tang Yan was a little surprised. He thought Qianhun was a pseudonym, so he asked, "What happened to those children who were made into spirit pets? Tell me in detail."

Qianhun replied, "Our cultivation method requires blood, preferably the blood of children, and preferably no older than twelve years old.

At this age, the innate spiritual energy that people are born with has not completely dissipated. It is integrated into the essence and blood, which is a great tonic.

We would take children away from some poor families in the name of taking them in as apprentices.

When these children enter the sect, they will practice martial arts. After all, the blood and essence of a warrior are more vigorous, which is very beneficial to practice.

When they are almost twelve years old, their blood and essence are drained.

Previously, these "dregs" would be directly fed to spirit beasts. Later, the sect's guardian Chunliu came up with the idea of turning the "dregs" into "spiritual pets" for sale.

Because spirit pets are very popular and can bring good profits to the sect, we maintain this business."

"How long has the Shenyuan Sect existed? How many children do they kill every year?"

"The sect has been around for more than 500 years. The number of children needed increases every year. Ten years ago, the sect only consumed 30,000 children, and last year it consumed 50,000.

This year, it is expected to grow slightly.”

Tang Yan's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his voice became colder and colder: "So many children are missing, won't their relatives look for them?"

Qianhun shook his head: "When we recruit disciples, we will make it clear to their parents that they join the sect to seek immortality in the martial arts, and they will no longer be ordinary people and will never see each other again in this life.

We will also provide some subsidies, so they will all be eager to send their children here."

"Will all children be made into spirit pets?"

“No, some people with low physique will not be taught martial arts, and will directly use blood.

After a martial artist's essence and blood are drained, they will be turned into spirit pets, but only 30% of them can survive." Qianhun replied.

Tang Yan felt his chest congested, calmed down a little, and ordered: "Tell me about the strength of Shenyuan Sect."

“The four guardians of Shenyuan Sect are all saints.

Among the eight hall masters, three are at the Saint level, and the rest are at the Lord level ninth rank.

Below them were all disciples, less than two hundred people, who were assigned to various hall masters.

The leader of the sect believed that quality was more important than quantity, so he did not keep idle soldiers. Only those with superior aptitude had the opportunity to join the sect.

As for the strength of the sect leader, no one knows.

The four guardians all have a deep respect for the master, and they may have already entered the super level." Qianhun explained the situation.

Tang Yan's eyelids twitched when he heard this. Bei Ling was truly a place full of hidden talents. Who could have thought that a small sect with only about 200 people could have such incredible combat power, with at least seven of them being at the Saint level!

The strength of the sect leader is even more unfathomable.

Their leader is quite capable, but unfortunately he uses crooked means.

The Shenyuan Sect had actually been able to exist for more than 500 years. How many children had died in their hands? Tang Yan shuddered at the mere thought!

He is not a righteous man, but when faced with such an evil force, he would feel guilty if he let it go easily!

But he was not blinded by his passion. If he rushed forward on his own, he would most likely become a tonic.

Got to find a powerful helper!

His most powerful ally is none other than Tianmei.

But the specific strength of the leader of the Shenyuan Sect is unknown. If he is in the late super-level realm, Tianmei will only be able to deliver takeout to the door if he goes there.

If you want to truly destroy the Shenyuan Sect, you need a force that can absolutely suppress them.

Medicine Valley!

A light bulb went off in Tang Yan's mind, and he immediately became interested. Yaogu really has this ability!

He paced back and forth in the room, thinking carefully about how to put the blame on others.

After a while, Tang Yan came up with an idea.

After asking for detailed information about the Shenyuan Sect, Tang Yan left Qingbao Pavilion and rushed towards the Shenyuan Sect.

In order not to alert the enemy, Tang Yan bought the snow monkeys with his own money and asked Sun Jincheng to take care of them temporarily.

Shenyuan Sect is located in Tianan Mountain in the northeast of Zhongzhou, not far from Qingbao Pavilion.

Using the Phantom Step with all his strength, he reached his destination in about two hours.

Tian'an Mountain is not very high, only about two hundred feet, but it stretches for dozens of miles and looks spectacular from a distance.

Deep in the mountains, there is a hilltop with many pavilions, but the buildings are not luxurious. They look simple and plain, like a small sect that does not interfere with the world.

On the huge rock at the mountain gate, the three characters "Shenyuan Sect" are engraved.

Many young people are practicing in the mountains. The scene is peaceful and harmonious.

Tang Yan looked at it for a while and felt very uncomfortable.

These children are all tonics cultivated by the Shenyuan Sect, but they are not aware of their own destiny.

Here they are well fed and warmly clothed, have masters to teach them martial arts, and are given expensive elixirs for cultivation. They all consider themselves disciples of the sect and are loyal to it.

And the forbidden area behind this mountain is their final destination.

Only when they are qualified to become tonics will they discover the truth about the sect.

However, the children who discovered the truth either died or were turned into spiritual pets, and the truth was thus covered up.

The children at the front peak did not find it strange that people kept disappearing around them.

The sect had already given an explanation, saying that those disciples had learned a lot and gone to better places to practice.

The young men who are unwilling to lag behind will take their missing brothers and sisters as their goal, practice hard, and strive to get the recognition of the sect one day and enter the better place in the legend.

The forbidden area of Shenyuan Sect.

There is a cave on the cliff.

The entrance to the cave is in the shape of a roaring beast, exuding a frightening aura.

After putting on the Hidden Heaven Robe, activating the Tai Chi Heart, and taking a Hidden Qi Pill, Tang Yan quietly flew towards the cave entrance.

There are two people guarding the cave entrance, both of them are king-level in strength.

Tang Yan walked past the two people and walked carefully inside the cave.

The passage went all the way down, and was built with hard golden rock. There were some glowstones on both sides of the passage, emitting a faint light, making the passage less dark.

After walking about a hundred feet, the scene ahead suddenly became clear. This was a huge underground square.

The smell of blood made Tang Yan frown.

The top of the square is inlaid with a large number of night-shining pearls, making it as bright as day. In the middle is a statue of a "human" with a pair of wings and fangs in his mouth.

Seeing this statue, Tang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had seen this thing on the stone wall of the Chosen Secret Realm. It was a vampire!

The Shenyuan Sect needs blood to practice. Could it be that they are related to the vampire race?

After looking at the stone statue for a while, Tang Yan looked around again.

There are five holes around it.

One in front, two on each side.

Following the instructions given by Qianhun, we continued walking forward and arrived at the sect master's cave.

"It's not a good idea to live in a cave facing the stairs. It's unlucky..." Tang Yan complained in his heart. He didn't dare to rush in rashly, but carefully came to the first cave on the left.

This is the territory of Chunliu, one of the four guardians.

After walking two miles along the passage, we heard the sound of dripping water ahead and the smell of blood became stronger.

After exiting the passage, a spacious underground palace appeared in front.

There is a huge pool of blood in the middle of the underground palace.

In the middle of the blood pool was an altar covered with patterns, on which sat a naked woman.

There was a dragon at each corner of the altar, and a long, thin red liquid spurted out of the dragon's mouth, which fell on the woman's body, flowed down her body onto the altar, and then fell into the pool of blood.

The woman had a seductive face and a hot body. Her plump figure should have excited Tang Yan, but the blood on her body made the scene so terrifying that he could not have any evil thoughts.

Feeling the powerful aura coming from her, Tang Yan deduced that she was the protector of Chunliu.

Sitting around the blood pool were members of her command, all women.

Tang Yan looked for a while, felt that he could not find an opportunity to put the blame on others here, and therefore withdrew.

He went to the hall where the other three guardians were practicing and found that like Chunliu, they were all soaking in a pool of blood and could not find any chance.

Returning to the square, Tang Yan began to think about what to do.

Just as he was racking his brains, a boy came out from the passage of the sect master's cave and walked towards the hall of "Autumn Wind Protector".

Tang Yan's heart moved and he followed carefully.
