Bai Jie instructed Bei Zhen to dive to the bottom of the Huai River, following the underground river at several bends before finally arriving at the cave dwelling.
Although the underwater cave was dark and damp, it was quite well decorated, with flowers and plants around it, and even some fruits and vegetables growing there.
It's obvious that this human and this demon are living a very comfortable life here.
"Xiao Qing! Xiao Qing!"
Bai Jie called out twice but no one answered. However, after entering the cave, Bai Jie's expression changed drastically.
The cave was in complete disarray, clearly showing signs of a fight.
Yang Cheng sensed the remaining power around him and said, "There is the residual aura of Buddhist power. They must have been discovered by accident when they went out, so they were followed all the way here."
Bai Jie stamped her foot: "I told them to be careful and not to go out during this period, why don't they listen?"
"Judging from the concentration of this aura, it must have happened several hours ago. If we search for it now, there might still be a chance."
Old Master Cui said from the side.
Beizhen quickly carried everyone to the surface of the river and began to search at a faster pace.
At this moment, on an island in the middle of the Huai River, several monks from Pudu Temple were chasing a white-robed monk and a woman wearing a light green gauze dress.
These two people were Wen Baifei and Xiao Qing.
Wen Baifei is handsome, and Xiaoqing is also cute and charming after transforming into human form. The two are quite a good match.
However, the two of them were in a sorry state, both injured, especially Wen Baifei, who was spitting out blood, staining his white clothes red.
Seeing the monks from Pudu Temple chasing after them, the two felt a sudden sense of despair.
Xiaoqing said in a tearful voice, "Husband, it's my fault that you've been dragged into this."
"Hand me over to them. With the Yanshan Sect backing you, the monks of Pudu Temple won't dare do anything to you."
Wen Baifei gently wiped away Xiaoqing's tears and said with a light laugh, "Don't be silly. You're just a silly little snake demon with no strength who always likes to wander around. How could Pudu Temple send so many people to hunt us down just for you?"
When I was young and impetuous, I offended the monk Jinjue of Pudu Temple. He now holds an important position in the Huaishui branch of Pudu Temple, so of course he wants to kill me to take revenge.
Furthermore, my master and even the Yanshan Sect behind me have a somewhat strained relationship with Pudu Temple. He once angrily denounced Pudu Temple for its domineering and unreasonable behavior in front of many sect leaders, which had long displeased Pudu Temple.
"If they kill me now, that monk Jinjue can both avenge himself and damage the reputation of the Yanshan Sect through our affair. Of course, they won't let such a win-win situation pass them by."
Wen Baifei is not some hothouse flower who only knows about love and romance.
His master, Lu Yuan, took him in as his last disciple because he recognized his amazing talent and clear mind, and he was truly preparing to groom him as his successor.
Unfortunately, Wen Baifei's personality was too carefree and unrestrained. Although he was talented, he was unwilling to cultivate diligently and preferred to wander around sightseeing. That's why his cultivation level was somewhat behind.
Seeing that Monk Jinjue was leading the monks of Pudu Temple to chase after them, Wen Baifei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Xiaoqing, I will do my best to stop Monk Jinjue. You find a way to escape."
Xiaoqing had just shaken her head when Wen Baifei shouted, "Now is not the time to be modest! You will die if you stay here, and you will be thrown into the Demon Suppression Tower. How can I sit by and watch them humiliate your corpse?"
After you escape, first go to the Yanshan Sect for help, then go to the Youdu Mountains to find the three elders of the demon race. Tell them that Pudu Temple is now the enemy of all cultivators in the Yan Kingdom, and that only by putting aside their differences between humans and demons and joining forces can they defeat Pudu Temple.
Otherwise, all the demons will die, and all the immortal cultivation sects will be squeezed out of their living space!
"After you help me get revenge, will you come and stay with me?"
Wen Baifei's vision is truly extraordinary; his thoughts are actually the same as Yang Cheng's.
He was also afraid that Xiaoqing would die with him, so he specifically said that he wanted Xiaoqing to live so that she could avenge him.
However, given the size of Pudu Temple, Xiaoqing may never be able to take revenge in her lifetime, but at least she can live a long time longer.
Xiaoqing was a little confused by Wen Baifei's series of words, but she could only subconsciously nod in agreement.
At this moment, the pursuers outside had already reached them. The leader, a middle-aged monk wearing a golden kasaya, laughed loudly, "Wen Baifei, let's see where you can escape to!"
