Li Yun wanted to stall the eagle demon with Han Shan so that Chen Yi could go in first, and they would follow closely behind.
However, Han Shan's considerations were more comprehensive...
If Chen Yi were to enter the cave first and something unexpected happened, they could very likely suffer casualties.
"What is Senior Sister's opinion?" Li Yun asked cautiously.
He knew this senior sister's temper well; she was incredibly hot-tempered.
He has to be very careful in dealing with things on a daily basis...
Han Shan stared intently at the eagle demon and said, "Let's take it down together, then we can enter the cave together!"
Li Yun hesitated, "Is it feasible? If we expend too much energy here, it might be a losing proposition."
After all, there must be dangers inside the cave.
Han Shan said with exceptional confidence, "Don't worry, with the three of us working together, even if we can't kill it, severely injuring it and driving it back won't be a problem!"
Chen Yi blinked, wondering why I was included.
He originally planned to coast along first, but now he's already putting in the work before even entering the cave.
But Han Shan was always decisive and efficient. As soon as she finished speaking, she flew towards the eagle demon on her sword.
"The moonlight shines brightly!"
Facing a demon beast whose cultivation level was higher than her own, she dared not hold back in the slightest.
The first move is the most powerful killing blow!
She brandished her longsword, unleashing a barrage of moonlight-like sword beams that hurtled towards the eagle demon.
"Whoosh!"
The eagle demon suddenly flapped its wings, and a gust of wind carrying a demonic power transformed into countless sharp claws to defend itself.
The numerous beams of clear, radiant sword light were instantly crushed by the sharp claws, and Han Shan gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
At this moment, Li Yun also circled around to the rear of the eagle demon.
Having no other choice, Chen Yi could only throw out eighty-one sword pellets to set up the Three Thousand Heavenly River Sword Formation.
This is in line with his identity as a formation master, and it won't overshadow his senior brothers and sisters.
"Zzz! Zzz! Zzz!"
As the sword formation was activated, a large amount of sword energy enveloped the eagle demon.
Han Shan glanced at Chen Yi with some surprise.
This junior brother is quite skilled...
Although there are many sword energies in this sword formation, their power is considerable, comparable to the skills of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator like her.
At this moment, the flying sword in Li Yun's hand emitted a cold, eerie light.
He was already in position, but after seeing that Chen Yi and Han Shan were able to hold off the eagle demon for the time being, he used a spell that required charging up.
"The crescent moon soars into the sky!"
After charging for several seconds, a massive crescent-shaped sword aura crashed down.
That sword energy was much larger than the eagle demon's body.
The eagle demon tried to dodge, but was held back by Chen Yi and Han Shan's attacks and had nowhere to escape!
"puff!"
The crescent moon landed on the eagle demon's back, tearing open a huge gash.
One of the eagle demon's wings suddenly drooped down, as if it had lost its bone.
Blood splattered from above.
Han Shan also seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.
Chen Yi thought for a moment, then threw out a few Thunderfire Talismans and a few Wood Sword Qi Talismans.
"puff!"
The eagle demon never imagined that these young humans would be so powerful.
Leaving aside Chen Yi, Han Shan and Li Yun are both genuine Foundation Establishment geniuses and true disciples of the Qinghui faction of the Hidden Moon Sect.
Individually, each of them is capable of fighting against powerful demons in later stages.
Now that the three of them were working together, it was caught off guard and was killed on the spot.
The three men divided the eagle demon's corpse equally, but found some mirror fragments inside its abdomen. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that they were identical to the bronze mirror in the eagle's nest.
“This bronze mirror must be a magical artifact. Even though it was swallowed by a great demon, it still doesn’t seem to be digested,” Li Yun said, his brows furrowed slightly. “But I wonder what use these fragments are.”
Han Shan shook her head: "Unless we ask a master craftsman to repair this bronze mirror, it will be of little use."
But she also knew that she was there to rescue people.
Whether the bronze mirror can be taken away is still unknown...
“Until then, let the three of us divide these bronze mirror fragments equally.” Li Yun divided the bronze mirror fragments.
Each person received exactly one piece.
Then, they passed through the tangled branches of the eagle's nest and came to the bronze mirror.
"Buzz!"
A flash of light swept by, and the three disappeared.
......
Inside the cave, three figures suddenly appeared.
Han Shan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chen Yi and Li Yun by her side.
"Use that jade pendant to communicate with Song Xin and find out exactly where she is?"
Li Yun nodded, took out a fish-shaped jade pendant, and poured magic power into it.
"Senior Sister Song, we've arrived. Can you tell us where you are?"
But after a long time, the jade pendant remained motionless.
Li Yun's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
"The cave doesn't seem very big. Let's keep looking, we'll find it eventually," Chen Yi reassured him.
“No, I’m worried she’s in danger. We need to split up and search for her!” Li Yun said.
The jade pendant did not reply, and he was in a state of utter confusion.
Han Shan disagreed, saying, "We don't know what dangers this place may hold, so we shouldn't split up rashly."
Li Yun, however, only wanted to find Song Xin as soon as possible.
He immediately rushed into the depths of the cave without any regard for the consequences.
Han Shan suddenly formed a hand seal, and a clear light seal struck Li Yun's back.
In an instant, Li Yun calmed down.
“Song Xin is also a good friend of mine. How could I not worry about her if something happens to her? But if you do this, what if you encounter an ambush? Wouldn’t that be irresponsible to her?” Han Shan said coldly.
Li Yun said with a guilty look, "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now."
Immediately afterwards, the three of them began searching within the cave.
They don't overlook any clues, no matter how small.
This grotto-like place truly looked as if no one had visited it for a long time.
Bridges, pavilions, stone statues, and other structures were all covered in dust and dirt.
It was for this reason that Chen Yi quickly found a clue.
He saw a clean half-circle under a stone statue, so he twisted the statue.
"Click-click-click!"
Sure enough, a hidden passage appeared before him.
“There are signs that someone has been through this secret passage, and they’re quite recent, probably from the last few days,” Chen Yi said.
Li Yun's face lit up with joy, "It's all thanks to Junior Brother Chen's meticulousness!"
The three of them quickly went deeper into the passage.
Shortly after they entered the passage, the rotated statue automatically returned to its original position, leaving even clearer scratches on the ground...
The group walked along the passage for several kilometers and came to see a magnificent hall.
Li Yun's breathing quickened. He remembered Song Xin telling him that she was trapped in a grand hall...
"Be careful," Han Shan cautioned.
To their surprise, they encountered no danger as they entered the main hall.
Inside the main hall, a graceful figure stood quietly.
"Senior Sister Song!" Li Yun was overjoyed to see that she was still alive.
But Song Xin showed no excitement; instead, her face was full of struggle.
The next second, she said in an unfamiliar tone, "Thank you for bringing back three physical bodies for me!"
Li Yun's expression changed drastically, and her voice trembled as she asked, "You're not Song Xin, who are you?"
Chen Yi thought to himself that something was not right.
To everyone's surprise, Song Xin smiled and said, "Welcome to the Unfathomable Cave! Magic cannot be used here; it's only for selecting the strongest physical body..."
"You still haven't answered me. Who are you? Why did you try to possess her?" Li Yun demanded sharply.
Song Xin suddenly chuckled and said, "Of course I'm not your senior sister. As for who I am? Aren't you all right here in my cave?"
The three men's pupils contracted slightly, their expressions turning somewhat horrified.
The owner of that bronze mirror is still alive?
