"That cave had at least three levels, with increasingly powerful monsters in the deeper you went! I was imprisoned on the second level, while the wolf demon came up from the level below me. It seems it destroyed some kind of magic array, causing all the monsters on the second level to be freed from their restraints, which led to such a huge commotion!"
"Unfortunately, in the end, only I escaped. Most of the monsters imprisoned with me were killed by the elders who arrived!"
After disembarking from the flying boat, we traveled through the mountains for half an hour before finally arriving at the valley that Chi Ye had mentioned.
The underground cave where the demons were imprisoned was located beneath this valley.
"You two must be careful when you go in. This place is extremely important to the Dragon Blood Sect. There is at least a Spirit Void Realm expert guarding it!"
"Okay, go away!"
"Zhong Hui," who was walking at the very back, said coldly with an indifferent expression, "Although the Chaos Origin Qi can shield the mark on your body, it can only shield it and cannot remove it. You'd better run as far away as possible!"
"I understand! Thank you so much for saving my life, Nine-Tailed Fox!"
The red fox prostrated itself in a bow, glanced at the two of them one last time, then turned and disappeared into the night.
Qin Fuwang nudged Zhong Hui next to him with his elbow and said in a deep voice, "Alright, now it's our performance time!"
Bai Xiaoruo's face turned cold, and she immediately shouted angrily, "Don't touch me!"
"Um?"
Shen Yunhao blinked and stared at her quietly.
"Hmph! What are you looking at!"
To everyone's surprise, Shen Yunhao raised his hand and poked her several times, saying smugly, "I'll touch you! I'll touch you! So what? Are you hitting me, you idiot!"
"..."
Bai Xiaoruo struggled to keep her lips from twitching, managing only a cold expression. "How boring!"
After thinking for a while, he said again, "How about... you don't come along this time? I can handle it by myself!"
The main purpose of this trip is not to rescue those monsters, but to find out the details of this place and obtain some key evidence.
This practice of imprisoning monsters is rather ambiguous.
Because many sects also imprison evil demons who commit crimes in their dungeons. After all, this is human territory, and the status of demons is inherently awkward. You can't say that the Dragon Blood Sect is "bad" just because of this.
More importantly, we need to find evidence that they are keeping demons in captivity and extracting their essence to refine the Qi Refining Pill!
As for the dangers of this trip, there were indeed some, but with two powerful experts at the Spirit Void level constantly watching over his safety, he wasn't too afraid.
Besides, if you're not even willing to take this small risk, how can you face the Demonic Sect? You might as well just reincarnate sooner.
But now... it seems someone really doesn't want him to take this risk.
Shen Yunhao, disguised as Qin Fuwang, raised an eyebrow and said with a playful tone, "What? Now you know how to worry about your husband?"
"Get lost! Who's worried about you!"
Bai Xiaoruo blurted out her rebuttal, but after a moment she realized what she had said and angrily retorted, "What kind of bullshit husband is he? You've gotten addicted to pretending! This is outrageous!"
Shen Yunhao simply smiled without saying a word.
There are some benefits to a kiss.
At least now I'm not as carefree as before; I'm starting to genuinely...worry about his safety.
"Let's go, let's stop wasting time and get down here!"
After saying that, Shen Yunhao didn't listen to her rambling any further and walked straight out of the bushes.
"You! I'm not going to care about you anymore!"
Even so, I quickly followed.
...
A short while later, Qin Fuwang, with a gloomy expression, appeared in front of a cave.
Two disciples stood at the entrance of the cave, their faces wary. Even when they saw that it was Qin Fuwang who had come, they still asked seriously, "This is a heavily guarded area of the Demon Tower. Junior Brother Qin, do you have a warrant from the sect leader to come here in the middle of the night?"
Demon Tower!
It generally refers to places where righteous sects imprison evil demons.
The Dragon Blood Sect designed this place as a prison for evil demons in order to avoid arousing suspicion.
"I just returned from outside. Time is of the essence, and I haven't had a chance to report to the sect leader yet. Please let me in immediately. I have urgent business to discuss with Elder Mu!"
Elder Mu, who was Mu Kun who appeared in front of Shen Yunhao and Bai Xiaoruo at that time.
According to Red Fox, Elder Mu holds a rather high position in this Demon Tower, and he is in charge of the two lower-level demons on the upper levels.
The guard frowned, but shook his head and said, "Elder Wei has ordered that the Demon Tower be under martial law for the next two days. No one is allowed to enter the Demon Tower without the sect leader's or Elder Wei's written order!"
"Damn it! That fox demon escaped. What if she tells everyone what happened here? Are you going to take responsibility?"
Qin Fuwang's face grew increasingly gloomy. If it weren't for the fact that the two guards in front of him were at the Soul Condensation Realm, which was much higher than his own, he would have rushed up and started fighting them long ago.
"They...they escaped?"
The guard was stunned.
"Based on the given location, we couldn't find the fox demon at all!"
Qin Fuwang sneered, "If I remember correctly, Elder Mu should be in charge of the fox demon, right? Since I kindly came to remind him and you insisted on stopping me, then don't blame me for reporting to the sect leader now. I want to see who will take the blame after such a big incident!"
After saying that, he turned around without hesitation, as if to leave.
After a moment's hesitation, the guard finally gritted his teeth and said, "Junior Brother Qin, please wait here! Please allow me to report to Elder Mu, is that alright?"
"It's alright, go ahead and tell them. I'll go and explain it to my great-uncle right away!"
Qin Fuwang's great-uncle was a high-ranking member of the Dragon Blood Sect, even above Mu Kun in status...
Another guard quickly stepped forward and pulled him back, saying with a smile, "Junior Brother Qin, please go in. There's no need to trouble the Sect Master again with such a small matter. Elder Mu will definitely handle it!"
"snort!"
Qin Fuwang snorted coldly, but did not continue to make things difficult for him, snorting as he walked away.
"Damn it! I made a wasted trip, and I still don't dare tell my great-uncle that the fox demon escaped. Mu Kun has to take full responsibility for this!"
guard:"……"
Just then, Zhong Hui took a step to follow him in, but was stopped by the guards.
"Junior Brother Zhong, you shouldn't go in. It might upset Elder Mu and he might just kill you with a single palm strike!"
The two guards were indifferent to Zhong Hui, showing him no respect whatsoever.
"Junior Brother Zhong, don't move from here. I'll go buy you two oranges!"
"orange?"
Everyone present except Qin Fuwang was stunned.
"If you don't understand, go ask! Damn it..."
If Qin Fuwang could know this in the afterlife, he would probably be weeping right now.
In other words, you haven't learned anything else, but you've mastered this one swear word to perfection...
Zhong Hui stood outside the cave for a moment, but did not wait any longer, and then shook his head and left.
...
In fact, Shen Yunhao had always found it strange that these Xuanpo Realm demons were one thing, but as long as they were strong enough, it was still possible to imprison them.
But how could those demons above the Soul Condensation Realm be willing to have their demon essence used for alchemy?
It should be noted that demons at the Soul Condensation Realm are capable of self-destructing their demonic essence!
