Chapter 1393 There Will Be a Price to Pay
Song Chunxue experienced what it meant to have abundant yang energy, and she finally understood why those who looked very strong were so bold.
This warm and cozy feeling, with no drafts on my back, makes me feel incredibly free to go anywhere, whether it's flying or diving.
But then she realized that perhaps this transformed body wasn't that useful; rather, the spiritual power her master had given her, which had kept her unconscious for so long, was more helpful.
That's why she was so eager to find out.
She wanted to figure out the triangular pyramid on her body and why the Demonic Sect couldn't do without her.
"Huoxiang, tell me honestly, why does it have to be me?" Arriving at the heart of the Demon Sect, Song Chunxue calmly looked at him, her hands behind her back, seemingly defenseless. "Can I trust you?"
Huo Xiang didn't reply immediately, but Huo Yu walked up to her and said, "Master Qiu Tian, we also want to take a gamble. Everyone looks out for themselves. I think you shouldn't trust others too much."
Huo Xiang did not refute her daughter's words.
He gave a wry smile. "Actually, I don't know either. I don't even believe myself anymore. But since you said that, once we're inside, if anything seems wrong, we'll run out as fast as we can."
"Xiaoyu, you stay here and wait for us to come out." Huoxiang's tone was firm. "Be good."
"No!" Huo Yu stood beside Song Chunxue. "I'll stay with her, Dad. You know I can run very fast."
"Huo Yu!"
Seeing that the father and daughter were about to fight, Song Chunxue also advised her, "Huoyu, don't be too sure of anything. This is a matter of life and death. No parent would take it lightly. You wait outside. No one knows what will happen inside."
"But……"
Song Chunxue walked ahead and said to Huoxiang, "Let's go."
Huo Yu truly did not go any further. After a while, she shouted at their retreating figures, "Daoist Master, I'll wait for you."
Huo Xiang muttered irritably, "You heartless bastards, don't they know to wait for me, their father? Daughters grow up and leave home."
Oh dear, what should we do if Xiaoyu is really determined to fall for Akita-sama?
They arrived at a cave entrance, which meandered downwards, becoming lower and lower as they walked, resembling a tunnel.
"Why do the members of the Demonic Sect like to hide in places where there is no light? Is it because their cultivation methods are like those of evil cultivators and cannot be exposed to the light?"
"Pretty much. Many of the old cultivation methods were similar to those of evil cultivators, but they gradually disappeared. The reason this place was chosen is because the earth energy here is very strong. The lower you go, the more abundant the spiritual energy becomes, and everyone likes to come here to cultivate." Huo Xiang's voice became ethereal. "But thirty years ago, this place was sealed off. My father wouldn't allow anyone to come."
Just as Song Chunxue was about to ask why, Wuyou said seriously, "Be careful, there seems to be something ahead, it's very oppressive. Don't be too curious, curiosity killed the cat!"
But Song Chunxue didn't sense it. She asked Huo Xiang, "Do you want me to remove something for you, or do something? Otherwise, I'm useless to the Demon Sect."
Huo Xiang nodded, "Yes, let you try to subdue the Demon Sect's sacred object. The ugly thing that has been dormant for a hundred years has awakened. This is a good thing, but it also means change. Change means people will die and there will be a price to pay."
As they spoke, they passed through a cave filled with strange rocks and trees, and in front of them was a wide underground river. Beside the river was a hot spring, but something was suppressed beneath the hot spring by a huge rock.
"That is..."
"Buzz!!!"
Just as Song Chunxue was about to ask something, the triangular pyramid suddenly floated in the air, emitting a strong aura that caused the water surface to tilt violently.
Just as I was about to ask Huo Xiang what happened, a huge creature covered in scales suddenly emerged from behind the boulder and sent Huo Xiang flying with a single palm strike.
"Quick, it's broken free!"
