After saying that, Mu Yunzi took flight, intending to fly out of the hole above.
However, the opening above suddenly closed, and a series of restrictions appeared around the area, completely sealing it off.
"You've already come all this way, do you think you can just leave?"
An aged voice came again from the depths of the cave, this time with a hint of laughter.
Before Ye Feng, Luo Mengxuan, and Mu Yunzi could say anything, the old voice continued, "Come and talk to me. I haven't left here for a long time and want to know about the outside world."
Mu Yunzi got up from the ground, her face full of anger, and said, "Senior, your strength is so formidable, why don't you go out and see what the situation is like outside?"
"If I could get out, I would have done so long ago," the aged voice said, its tone very calm.
Luo Mengxuan looked at Ye Feng, her eyes asking him what to do.
At this moment, Mu Yunzi also looked over at Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan.
Ye Feng said, "Miss Mu, are you sure you still want to fight us now? This cave is strange and bizarre. I think it would be better for us to coexist peacefully for now. We can settle any grudges after we leave here."
Mu Yunzi is a smart person, so of course she knows that Ye Feng is right.
There is a being in this cave whose power far surpasses theirs, and it is currently impossible to determine whether that being is benevolent or malevolent.
Since that's the case, we should put the dispute aside for now, otherwise they might not even know how they died in the end!
So Mu Yunzi snorted and said, "Fine, I'll let you go for now. I'll settle the score with you after we leave here!"
Ye Feng glanced into the depths of the cave, but saw no end.
The cave was already winding and twisted, and it was filled with wisps of black mist.
These black wisps seemed to have the effect of obscuring vision and disrupting divine sense, so even if one released their divine sense, they could not explore the situation at the end of the cave.
Since that's the case, then we'll just have to go and see for ourselves.
With that thought in mind, Ye Feng headed deeper into the cave.
Luo Mengxuan caught up with him anxiously, and tightly grasped Ye Feng's hand: "Junior brother, that senior in the depths of the cave is very powerful, and we don't know if he's friend or foe. Wouldn't it be too risky for us to go there like this?"
“The entire cave has been sealed off by that senior with a restriction, so we can’t leave. What else can we do?” Ye Feng said.
Although Luo Mengxuan was still worried, Ye Feng was right, so she nodded and walked inside with Ye Feng.
Seeing Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan heading deeper into the cave, Mu Yunzi followed them.
The cave wasn't long; Ye Feng, Luo Mengxuan, and Mu Yunzi reached the end of the cave in less than fifteen minutes.
At the end of the cave, a corpse lay on the ground, and a withered old man sat on the ground, his lower body turned to stone!
The old man was so thin he was practically skin and bones, and Luo Mengxuan could clearly see the protruding ribs on his chest.
"You've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you for ages."
The old man spoke slowly, and even smiled.
Night Breeze cupped his hands in greeting and asked politely, "May I ask what your background is, senior?"
"I am You Yunzi."
You Yunzi answered with a smile, but there was a bitter taste in his smile.
Ye Feng had never heard of You Yunzi, but upon hearing the name, both Luo Mengxuan and Mu Yunzi showed surprise.
"Are you You Yunzi, senior?" Luo Mengxuan asked.
“Exactly!” You Yunzi nodded.
"Is this corpse on the ground the Yellow Stone Demon?" Mu Yunzi asked.
“Indeed, this person is the Yellowstone Demon. It seems you have heard of the rumors about me and the Yellowstone Demon,” You Yunzi said with a smile.
Night Breeze asked in a low voice, "What's the story behind the rumors about You Yunzi and the Yellow Stone Demon?"
Luo Mengxuan immediately explained, "Junior brother, Huangshi Demon was a very powerful rogue cultivator who was active fifty years ago. He used his strength to do evil and commit all sorts of atrocities, maiming countless people. Moreover, many disciples of famous sects died at his hands."
"Several of our senior brothers and sisters from the Xuanji Sect were killed by the Yellow Stone Demon."
"However, the Yellow Stone Demon has no fixed abode and wanders around everywhere. He is an expert at escaping. Therefore, disciples from the Xuanji Sect, the Hunyuan Sect, and several other sects have all tried to besiege him, but they have failed. They either came up empty-handed or he escaped."
After a pause, Luo Mengxuan continued, "You Yunzi is also a highly skilled rogue cultivator who travels far and wide and has a great reputation. Senior You Yunzi is charitable and has guided countless people. Many rogue cultivators claim to be his disciples. Huangshi Demon and You Yunzi are two extremes, one positive and one negative."
"Fifty years ago, You Yunzi seemed to have a conflict with Huangshi Demon, so the two fought a big battle and then disappeared without a trace."
"Rumors circulated that You Yunzi and Huangshi Demon had perished together. Because there had been no news of them, people gradually began to believe this rumor."
Hearing Luo Mengxuan's words, Ye Feng finally understood the origins of You Yunzi and the Yellow Stone Demon.
You Yunzi chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you, a young lady, to know so much. Which sect are you from?"
"I am Luo Mengxuan, a true disciple of the Xuanji Sect. This is my junior brother, Ye Feng, an inner disciple," Luo Mengxuan said with a smile, and even gave a kowtow.
You Yunzi then looked at Mu Yunzi again.
Before You Yunzi could ask, Mu Yunzi answered, "Senior You Yunzi, I am Mu Yunzi, a true disciple of the Hunyuan Sect."
"Why did you start fighting?" You Yunzi asked curiously.
Mu Yunzi snorted and looked coldly at Ye Feng, saying, "This man is ruthless and murdered my junior brother, which is why I am seeking revenge for him."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Luo Mengxuan quickly said, "Senior You Yunzi, don't listen to her nonsense. Her junior brother Liang Yingfeng clearly challenged my junior brother and died at my junior brother's hands in a fair duel. How can you blame my junior brother for this!"
Mu Yunzi immediately said, "Alright, then I'll challenge you now. If you also die in the duel, that would be perfectly reasonable!"
Luo Mengxuan was furious, but dared not act recklessly in front of You Yunzi.
You Yunzi chuckled and said, "Stop arguing, all of you be quiet. I didn't call you here to listen to your bickering."
"Senior You Yunzi, what exactly happened back then?" Luo Mengxuan asked curiously.
You Yunzi stretched out his trembling right hand, pointed to the corpse on the ground, and said, "I fought the Yellow Stone Demon for three days and three nights and finally the battle ended here. Although I successfully killed the Yellow Stone Demon, his dying counterattack also seriously injured me. Most importantly, I was hit by his Yellow Stone Demon Art."
