Rong Lin suddenly smiled, and that smile was filled with an indescribable complex emotion, "Because, the person we saved is either our master or the source of all evil - the Ten Thousand Demons."
There was a sense of expected calmness in his words. Obviously, he had already noticed that something was wrong.
Upon hearing this, Chu Chu couldn't help but take a step back, her face full of shock and confusion, "What? What...what does this mean?" Her voice trembled, and she was obviously shocked by this sudden truth and was a little overwhelmed.
Ye Xuan was also surprised. She didn't expect things to develop to this point. She stared at Rong Lin, waiting for his next words.
Rong Lin took a deep breath and said slowly: "His biggest wish is to see the light of day again? He has had enough of this small space. He doesn't want to stay there for a moment longer." His words were full of sympathy for the plight of the Purple Sky Ancestor, but more of anger at the cunning tactics of the Ten Thousand Demons.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Zixiao Patriarch suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter full of pride and arrogance.
Chu Chu was so angry that her face turned blue. She shouted angrily: "Master has been possessed!"
Wanmo's laughter became more and more arrogant: "Of course. I tricked old Zixiao here just for his only holy body in the six realms. He is the master of all gods. With his body, I can be above the six realms. Haha..." His voice echoed in the cave, full of evil and arrogance.
Wanmo continued, "From now on, I am the ancestor of Zixiao. Disciples, how about we go back to the holy land of Zixiao together?" He really had everything under control.
Chu Chu was so angry that she gnashed her teeth and shouted angrily, "Don't even think about it!"
Rong Lin also echoed: "There's no way out of the cave!"
However, Wan Mo didn't care about their anger. He sneered, "Are you sure you want to kill me? If you kill me, the ancestor will die too! He is me now, and I am him now! We are already inseparable."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chu couldn't help but look at Rong Lin. Her eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness, as if asking, "What should we do now?" She truly hadn't expected her master to be possessed by a myriad of demons.
Rong Lin took Chu Chu's hand and whispered, "Let's get out of the cave first. He can't get out without us! As long as we get out, we can find a way to save Master."
Seeing this, Ye Xuan acted quickly and jumped out of the cave in a flash.
However, Chuchu was held tightly by Wanmo's wrist, and she and Ronglin were in a stalemate. Ronglin couldn't bear Chuchu's pain, so he reluctantly let go of her hand and retreated with her.
Before the two could even speak, Wanmo unleashed a spell and fiercely kicked them back into his lair. He roared arrogantly, his face ferocious, "Since you won't let me out, you two will stay with me in this cave forever!"
After landing, Chuchu and Ronglin looked at each other. Chuchu said guiltily, "Ronglin, I've implicated you." Her voice was full of apology and self-blame.
Rong Lin shook his head in understanding. "That's because you're worried about Master. You hesitated because you couldn't let go of Master. That's not wrong."
Chu Chu sighed, "I hope Ye Xuan can get out safely, summon the gods, and eliminate this thief. However, Master has been possessed, so where is his soul imprisoned? The formations and phantom beasts of the Purple Sky Holy Land are still there..."
Afterwards, Wanmo, with the kind but slightly distorted face of Zixiao Patriarch, slowly walked into the depths of the cave where Rong Lin and Chuchu were.
There was an indescribable sense of oppression in his steps, as if every step was stepping on the heartstrings of the two people, making the air freeze.
Rong Lin's gaze was sharp as a knife as he quickly scanned Wan Mo, already making some calculations in his mind. "Master's aura is weak; it's obvious he's been suppressed by his magic power."
Rong Lin speculated secretly in his heart, and spoke to Chu Chu beside him in a low and firm voice.
No matter how many demons come, there is no fear in Rong Lin's eyes, only a calm analysis of the situation.
Upon hearing this, Wanmo raised the corner of his mouth into a smile that was neither a smile nor a smile. In that smile, there was both recognition of Rong Lin's keen insight and a hint of imperceptible contempt.
"As expected of a Supreme God who once fell into the devil's way and returned to the right path with amazing perseverance, no subtle clue escapes your discerning eye. It's a pity that you ran into me, the Lord of All Demons, today. I'm afraid your clever tricks will be useless."
Rong Lin's expression remained impassive, as if nothing in the outside world could stir the turmoil within him. He calmly analyzed the situation and spoke slowly, "Let's make a deal. You release my master, and I'll take you out of this cave where you're imprisoned. How about that?"
Wanmo's laughter suddenly stopped, replaced by a cold sneer: "Deal? Humph, don't you understand your current situation? A trapped God with no power to fight back, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?"
Hearing this, Rong Lin slowly stood up, his figure as straight as a pine tree. He looked directly at Wanmo, his tone filled with unquestionable determination: "I can find a way to leave this cave at any time, or as long as I defeat you, I can naturally get out. But without us, you will never be able to escape from this cave."
Seeing this, Chu Chu, although she did not stand up, sat in meditation and regulated her breathing, ready to respond to any possible battle at any time.
She echoed Rong Lin's words, her voice carrying a resoluteness that should not be underestimated: "That's right, we now know your weaknesses, and it won't be difficult to deal with you."
Wan Mo sneered, his tone full of disdain: "It seems that you really don't intend to care about the life of Zixiao Patriarch. But, do you think you can threaten me like this?"
Rong Lin smiled softly, a smile that held both confidence and mockery towards the demons. "Since Master is able to teach us gods, he will naturally share all his secret techniques with us. Master's expertise in illusion and beast summoning is enough to counter any of your tactics. And besides illusion, do you have any other skills you can bring to the table?"
Chu Chu had clearly lost her patience. Not wanting to waste any more words with Wan Mo, she stood up, clenched her fists, and radiated a sense of power ready to explode. "I don't want to waste any more time talking to you! Now, let's fight to the death!"
Seeing this, Wanmo accepted the challenge without hesitation: "Come on! As long as one of you is still alive, I have a chance to break free from the constraints of this cave. Let us see who among you falls first!"
Before he finished speaking, Rong Lin's figure flashed and instantly transformed into a majestic Qilin, surrounded by blazing flames, as if it could burn away all evil.
Chuchu was not willing to be left behind. She also transformed into her original form, a double-headed bird with gorgeous wings and sharp eyes, flapping her wings and flying straight into the sky.
Seeing this, the Ten Thousand Demons suddenly broke away from the body of Zixiao Patriarch and turned into a black demon shadow. In an instant, the demonic energy was surging, as if the Ten Thousand Demons were roaring in their ears, and the whole cave was shaken.
A battle has begun.
