Chapter 279 Mysteries of the Soul-Binding Cliff
Ye Luo was taken aback and smiled. He hadn't planned to go in the first place. Just as he was about to say something, a man's voice came from inside the stone gate in his sea of consciousness.
"go."
"Huh?" Ye Luo was confused upon hearing this, and tentatively asked, "To the ancient battlefield?"
"Hmm, there might be something I left behind there. I might as well go and take a look."
"What did you leave behind? What was it?"
"My sword... or perhaps my robes..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo couldn't help but tease, "You fought quite fiercely, didn't you? Not only did you lose your weapon, but you also lost your clothes?"
A low chuckle came from inside the stone gate, but there was no further response. After thinking carefully for a moment, Ye Luo said, "You know my situation. If something happens, you have to protect me."
"Yes, that's for sure."
Hearing his response, Ye Luo coughed lightly and said, "Um... Master, I'll go too."
After he finished speaking, everyone stared at him in silence. Yu Xian'er, her hands gently touching her slightly protruding belly, advised with a worried look on her face, "Junior Brother, you'd better not go..."
Ye Luo smiled and said, "It's alright, I can protect myself."
Mingcang looked at him solemnly and said, "Xiao Luo, Xian'er is right. Don't be willful and stubborn."
Ye Luo laughed and said, "Oh, don't worry, I'm not like the Fifth Senior Brother, who always thinks things through carefully."
Cen Feng was stunned for a moment before realizing he'd been subtly insulted, and immediately bristled, "Hey, what do you mean?!"
"It's to say you're naive and innocent, a 'naive and sweet' type."
"Naive and innocent?"
"Alright, alright," Mingcang interrupted their bickering. "Since you've made up your mind, your master won't stop you. Just be careful."
"Don't worry, we still have our senior brothers and sisters, nothing serious will happen."
...
Later, when Ye Luo returned to his cave, he found Xiao Junyi looking at him with a resentful expression. "Oh, what's wrong with you?"
"Master, you don't want me anymore..."
Seeing his pitiful state, Ye Luo almost laughed herself to death. She wondered what Jun Yi would think if he knew that his second body was in such an adorable state.
"Alright, I didn't abandon you. I've just been too busy these past few days, that's why I haven't been back to my cave."
After Ye Luo finished speaking, she lay down on the bed and beckoned to Xiao Junyi under the bed, "Come here and sleep with me for a while."
"Mmm!" Xiao Junyi pulled off his clothes, crawled into the blankets that Ye Luo had lifted, and clung to him tightly with both hands and feet, "Master, Master..."
"Sigh..." Ye Luo looked helpless, patted his shoulder and back, and said angrily, "Let go! How am I supposed to sleep with you so tight!"
"oh……"
Ye Luo cursed under her breath as an idiot, then drifted off to sleep, inhaling the familiar pheromones.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The people of Peach Blossom Valley rode the Celestial One towards the location where the ancient battlefield had begun. When they arrived after traveling day and night, they found that only the people from Xuanwu Palace had arrived; they had not seen anyone from the other sects.
"Huh? Did I remember the date wrong?"
Ming Cang leaped off the boat and landed lightly beside Mu Tai, asking in confusion, "Where are they?"
Mu Tai frowned and shook his head: "I don't know either. Maybe it's been delayed. Let's wait a bit longer."
As he spoke, he summoned a cultivator beside him, whispered a few words to him, and then the man hurriedly left.
Yu Xuan then stepped forward and bowed to Mu Tai, saying, "Master."
Mu Tai turned and glanced at him, then laughed, "Oh, so you know how to come back? I thought you were going to become a disciple of Peach Blossom Valley!"
Yu Xuan smiled and replied, "How could that be?"
Mu Tai patted him on the shoulder, "Alright, it's better if you can cheer up."
During that period, he became inexplicably depressed, leaving his master helpless.
Later, the disciples guarding the Xuanwu Palace rushed over and reported that Yu Qianling had secretly sneaked in. So they thought they would let her try it, and unexpectedly, it actually worked.
Mu Tai snorted: "As expected, a wife is more useful than a master!"
Yu Xuan smiled and replied, "Master is naturally important too."
As the two were talking, they saw the warships of Zhanzong, Huanyinmen, and Tianfengpai approaching. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to have just gone through a major battle.
Mu Tai frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
"Ugh, don't even mention it." At this moment, Elder Nie Song of the War Sect came over and said with a gloomy face, "When we passed by Soul Binding Cliff, we were suddenly attacked and almost lost our ship and our lives."
"An attack? Who was it?" Ming Cang asked curiously.
“It’s not human, it looks like a dark, evil spirit or ghost. I think it ran out from under the Soul-Binding Cliff.” At this moment, Shui Yun, the leader of the Illusionary Sound Sect, walked over and said with lingering fear, “Luckily we flew behind, otherwise, we might have suffered the same fate as the Heavenly Wind Sect.”
"You also encountered the Tianfeng Sect?" Mu Tai asked.
Nie Song said, "That's right, we went to help the Tianfeng Sect when we saw them being besieged, but we almost lost everything!"
Hearing their conversation, Ye Luo couldn't help but look at the Tianfeng Sect's warship. He saw corpses neatly laid out on the deck, with wounded disciples sitting in twos and threes.
Ye Luo turned to Xiao Huan and asked, "Has this happened near the Soul-Binding Cliff before?"
Xiao Huan said, "No, this is the first time I've heard of this. By the way, didn't we just pass by there? We didn't seem to encounter anything like this!"
Ye Luo said, "That's really strange..."
Xiao Huan said, "The reason why Soul-Binding Cliff is called Soul-Binding Cliff is because the evil souls and ghosts there are bound and unable to escape from the valley. Now they have actually come out to harm people. Isn't that strange?"
Looking at the devastation at the Tianfeng Sect's location, he couldn't help but click his tongue repeatedly, saying, "This is too tragic! I estimate that nearly half of the disciples have been injured or killed. How can they even enter the secret realm?"
A glint flashed in Ye Luo's eyes as he strode towards the Tianfeng Sect. Seeing this, Xiao Huan quickly followed and hurriedly asked, "What are you planning to do?"
"Go and take a look."
"It doesn't seem right for you to go looking for trouble at this time..."
"What are you thinking? I was just trying to help out of kindness." Ye Luo chuckled and said, "Anyway, this secret realm probably won't open anytime soon."
Seeing his receding figure, Xiao Huan, fearing he would be ganged up on if he went over, quickly followed, calling out, "Hey, wait for me!"
