The canyon is very large, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters.

  Three-sided ring mountain, only one entrance, the cliff wall is full of dense holes, these bats hide in the holes, at night, they all move out, covering the sky and the ground.

  With the help of Ghost Eye Technique, he clearly saw Chen Ruoyan being taken into a huge cave, which was bottomless. The farthest distance that Ghost Eye Technique could see was three hundred meters, and it had already exceeded this range.

  "We must find a way to get in, the disappearance of so many people in the Western Mountains is definitely related to the bat-like creatures here. As long as we can solve the mystery of this place, we should be able to find those missing people." Liu Wuxie said quietly.

  These bats don't kill people, they only catch living things. Are these bats going to catch people alive to eat?

  The bat-like creature mainly sucked blood and rarely ate meat, which was what made Liu Wu Xie most puzzled.

  The moment he caught Chen Ruoyan, Liu Wuxie heard a sound similar to the flute, which should be some kind of creature controlling these bat beasts, responsible for catching living people and transporting them here.

  Through what just happened, Liu Wuxie has inferred that the real bat beast killed people and sucked their blood dry before discarding the corpses, which is the most unusual part.

  The biggest problem in front of Liu Wuxie is how to get in, the bats are patrolling all over the sky, as soon as you show up, you will be attacked by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of bats.

  Even if he had great abilities, facing so many bats could only flee in a hurry.

  Time flies by every minute and second, the more Chen Ruoyan stays, the more danger she's in, Liu Wuxie anxiously paces back and forth.

  Although I don't have much to do with Chen Ruoyan, after all, she came to the Western Mountains for me. If she really dies inside, I will feel a little guilty.

  Half a period of time had passed, and it was approaching the second half of the night. Liu Wuxie still hadn't thought of a good solution. These bat beasts had night vision capabilities and would be discovered as soon as they got close.

  "It's strange, the number of bats is decreasing!"

  Liu Wuxie crouched on a large tree, closely watching the movements in the valley below. He found that the number of bat beasts was decreasing and swooped down from the tree.

  "I get it, because dawn is breaking!"

  Bats like to move at night, after midnight, bats will return to their own cave to rest.

  By day, the bats become blind and cannot fly. From outside the canyon, thousands of bats fly back from Liu Wuxian's hiding place, flying over to return to their caves.

  The nearby monsters had already been eaten by them until they were almost gone, and the living monsters had long since fled.

  In the blink of an eye, it disappeared completely from above the canyon.

  "Whoosh!"

  Without hesitation, Liu Wuxie's body disappeared on the spot and rushed to the largest cave, where Chen Ruoyan was taken.

  Conceal one's breath so as not to startle the bats inside.

  The cave was enormous, like the mouth of a giant beast. Liu Wuxie stuck to the wall, advancing step by step, his spiritual sense extending continuously like mercury.

  The ground emitted a foul odor, and bat droppings were everywhere.

  After about ten minutes or so, a skeleton appeared on the ground, its body had long since rotted away, and the fresh blood was sucked dry by the bat beast.

  "This is the attire of the Imperial Academy!"

  Crouching down, judging from his clothes, he is a student of the Imperial Academy's Xuanzi Class, and yet he died in this bat cave.

  Draw your sword, be prepared for battle at all times, lest you fall here.

  With exceptional skill and boldness, wherever his divine consciousness covered, there was no danger. He suddenly accelerated his speed to prevent Chen Ruoyan from being injured.

  The cave is very dark, but with the Ghostly Vision Technique, I can roughly see it. If an ordinary person came here, they would definitely get lost.

  "Squeak..."

  A bat suddenly flew past Liu Wuxie's face and didn't notice him, drilling into the depths of the cave.

  "Follow him!"

  Without hesitation, Liu Wuxie unfolded the Seven Star Steps and quietly followed up.

  Deep one foot shallow one foot followed behind, the ground piled up with mountains of bat beast dung, emitting a nauseating smell, Liu Wu Xie almost covered his nose and moved forward.

  Through a narrow entrance, the view suddenly opens up in front of you, as if entering an underground world.

  He suddenly stopped in his tracks, and the scene before him left him stunned on the spot.

  "This..."

  The whole person was stunned, with thousands of giant bat beasts hanging from the cliff cave above, and many cages were placed below, holding dozens of humans and demon beasts, each with a pale face.

  Their bodies were all controlled, and the bat beast used toxins to seal their cultivation, making them like ordinary people, at the mercy of slaughter.

  "Let me out, you know who I am? With just one order from me, I'll immediately lead a large army to conquer this place."

  A familiar voice reached Liu Wuxie's ears, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

  After Chen Ruoyan was brought here, the bat beast locked her up and threw her into a dirty cage like everyone else.

  Don't make any sudden moves, lest you startle these bats.

  There is one thing that Liu Wuxie can be certain of, these bat beasts are being deliberately raised. As long as they find the person who is raising them and kill him, these bat beasts will lose their master and naturally collapse on their own.

  When fighting with the bat beast, Liu Wuxie clearly saw a black shadow, like a human, but it was not very clear because of the distance.

  "Little doll, stop crying, our ancestor loves to eat tender and delicate little beauties."

  An emaciated old man walked in from another cave entrance, his body as dry as a withered tree branch, without an ounce of flesh on him, and could be blown down by the slightest breeze.

  His appearance caused the tribesmen locked in cages to tremble involuntarily, shrinking into a corner of their cage, fearing that they would be next.

  Even those ferocious demons that were normally fierce and intimidating were now cowering on the ground, letting out low growls, a sign of fear.

  What is it that makes them so afraid?

  "If you have the ability, let me out! I'll sweep away your bat cave!"

  Chen Ruoyan's voice echoed throughout the cave, but the withered old man didn't respond to her. He walked forward and opened the prison door, allowing her to come out.

  Body poisoned, Chen Ruoyan had just raised her hand to prepare for battle when a numbness came over her, leaving her standing weakly in place, gritting her teeth in hatred.

  The others in the cages let out a sigh of relief, this time it wasn't their turn, they could live for another day.

  "Are you going by yourself, or should I have them take you?"

  The withered old man pointed at the road ahead and let Chen Ruoyan choose for herself, whether to walk on her own or have the bat-like creature carry her in flight.

  "Never mind, I'll go myself!"

  Thinking of being carried by that group of disgusting things, a wave of nausea washed over me, and I strode towards the entrance of the cave, wanting to see who was raising so many bat-like creatures in this place.

  The withered old man waved his hand, and the swooping bat beast returned to its original place, continuing to guard here, lest someone escape.

  Liu Wuxie temporarily gave up rescuing these people, lest they startled the snake by cutting the grass, alarming the master of this place, and quietly followed them.

  The most important thing is for Liu Wuxie to figure out what's going on. The withered old man was a human, which put Liu Wuxie at ease. As long as he was a person, there would be a way.

  Far behind, the road surface is relatively clean, without bats flying back and forth.

  The withered old man was extremely powerful and turned out to be a Washing Marrow Realm cultivator of the third level. Then, what kind of formidable figure was his master?

  After walking for about the time it takes to have a cup of tea, the view in front suddenly changed, and an underground palace appeared, decorated with great luxury.

  The withered old man walked to the gate and bowed: "Master, she has arrived."

  After finishing speaking, he retreated to one side. The interior of the imperial palace was decorated very luxuriously. Many precious night pearls were inlaid on the walls, illuminating the entire cave as bright as daylight.

  In the central area of the palace, a huge stone couch was placed, on which a soft and delicate bedspread was laid. A dark figure could be vaguely seen sitting up.

  "Come on in!"

  The voice was sharp and shrill, neither masculine nor feminine, but rather a strange mixture of both. It sounded extremely unpleasant to the ear, like the hoarse quacking of a duck, sending shivers down one's spine.

  "Come on in!"

  The old man pushed a wheelchair, Chen Ruoyan walked in, her body was controlled, and she didn't fear that she would escape. The old man finished speaking and turned to leave.

  An old man passing by Liu Wuxie's side suddenly stopped and sniffed around with his nose.

  Liu Wu Xie hid in the dark, holding his breath and remaining as still as a withered log. Even if an old man stood beside him, he would not have detected anything.

  Nothing was found, and the old man left in big strides to attend to other matters. Within a radius of over 100 meters, there were no signs of life.

  The black shadow inside the palace should be the master of this place.

  "How dare you! Do you know who I am?"

  Chen Ruoyan walked in and didn't approach the central stone couch, standing far away, suppressing her inner fear, lifting her chest, not to be outdone in momentum.

  "I know you've already been introduced once when you came in, Third Princess of the Great Yan Empire."

  Separated by the curtain, unable to see clearly the face sitting on the stone couch, Liu Wuxie quietly approached, without entering the temple, waiting for an opportunity to take action.

  "Now that you know, let me go quietly."

  Chen Ruoyan's courage grew, as the Third Princess of the Great Yan Dynasty, wherever she went, she was treated with respect. Even Qian Kun, notorious for his ruthlessness, upon learning Chen Ruoyan's identity, let her leave quickly, unwilling to make an enemy of her.

  "Let you go?" The black shadow sitting on the stone couch let out a cold laugh: "No one who enters the bat cave can come out alive, you have royal blood in your body, it must be very delicious to eat, hehehe..."

  A burst of shrill laughter came from the stone couch, and Liu Wuxie's scalp felt numb as he listened.

  It's actually going to eat a living person, even if he is an immortal emperor, he has never done such a thing as eating people.

  It's just that I've seen many demons who eat humans as food.

  "You...you're actually going to eat me."

  Chen Ruoyan panicked and her body retreated step by step towards the outside, intending to escape.

  She was even more courageous, but when she heard about cannibalism, she was still frightened and her whole body trembled. After all, she was just a young woman, not very old, and even Liu Wuxie's body had goosebumps when he heard it, let alone the pampered princess.

  "Is there something wrong? These people who have come in are my food."

  Heiying finished speaking and suddenly stood up. With a grab of his palm, Chen Ruoyan's body was out of control, and she herself flew into the air, landing on the stone couch.

  "Ah!"

  The moment I saw the dark face, I was so scared that I let out a loud shriek and fainted directly.

  With the help of the light, Liu Wuxie saw a pair of sharp fangs emerging from the dark face, slowly approaching Chen Ruoyan's neck.

  From Aiwan.
