Chapter 601: Under the Devil’s Cave
Chapter 601 – Beneath the Devil’s Cave
In the dark and sunless Devil’s Cave, from time to time, demonic qi gathered and gave birth to new demonic creatures.
Thousands of feet from the ground in the underground devil cave, was opened up a large open space, divided into several caves, gathered hundreds of cultivators.
Here, demonic qi was born anytime, anywhere, and one had to push their aura to run their gong methods in order to resist the demonic qi’s infestation.
“Patriarch, another disciple was shocked by the demonic Qi in his heart veins and fell unconscious.”
“Cough cough ……”
Yue Ling was wiping away the blood at the corner of his mouth, in his eyes was a deep look of worry.
“Bring them over here, I’ll exorcise the demonic Qi for them.”
“But, Patriarch your body ……”
“No harm, I know my injuries in my heart, bring the people here.”
A dozen or so Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators were brought over, after Yue Lingzheng finished dispelling the aura from their bodies, his aura around his body fell violently, from the seventh level of Jindan to the sixth level of Jindan.
“Sovereign, your cultivation level ……”
Yue Lingzheng waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to say more, the disciple’s heart was uneasy, but he retreated wisely.
After the disciple left, Yue Lingzheng sat quietly for a long time, after the demonic Qi in his body calmed down, he walked towards a small door.
He knocked on the small door, “Senior Uncle, how is your injury?”
Through the stone door, Sheng Qingyun’s voice came out.
“Much better.”
Yue Ling Zheng wanted to speak, standing still by the stone door, half speechless.
In the end, Sheng Qingyun inside the stone door was the first to speak, breaking the deathly silence.
“How many disciples …… are left in the door?”
“Twenty-three Jindan cultivators, three hundred and sixty-seven Foundation Establishment cultivators, totaling three hundred and ninety people.”
“Only this many left ah.”
Sheng Qingyun’s tone was filled with frustration, that day, the Easy Sect had just pacified the civil unrest, when the evil cultivators killed the mountain.
In the midst of haste, the sect dispatched the outer disciples, leaving the inner sect alone with over a thousand disciples to fight against the evil cultivators.
The old leaf in order to cover her evacuation, self-detonation of the first baby and died.
And she took six hundred cultivators and retreat, hiding in the devil’s cave under the survival, a flash is eighty years.
Eighty years have passed, hatred in her heart, has long taken root and sprouted.
Every day she did not think of revenge and retake the mountain gate.
Nai Ji that battle, she was extremely injured, recuperating so far, only to be able to recover from all the injuries.
“Being in the Demon Qi Abyss domain, Jindan cultivators can barely protect their Yuan Shen from being eroded by the Demon Qi, but those Foundation Stage disciples, there are two hundred and thirty of them, died under the Demon Qi.
I don’t know if they will blame me for their cowardice before they die.”
Yue Lingzheng hastened to comfort, “Senior uncle do not have to blame yourself, if you did not have the wisdom to tear a corner of the Demon Sealing Formation in a hurry and lead the people to commit themselves here, I am afraid that the six hundred disciples would have been slaughtered already.”
Sheng Qingyun smiled bitterly, “But hiding here is not a good strategy after all, we are going to kill our way out after all.”
“But those evil cultivators, are bound to set up heavy troops outside, senior uncle’s strength alone, I’m afraid it’s not an opponent ……”
Yue Lingzheng was in a very complicated mood, on the one hand, the only remaining YuanYing cultivator of the Free Sect was indeed no match for the evil cultivators.
But on the other hand, continuing to stay in the devil’s cave, constantly suffering from the erosion of the devil’s gas, the strength will be further weakened.
“I know, but continuing to cower here, in the end, we cannot escape the word death.”
Sheng Qingyun pushed open the stone door with a calm expression.
“I Free Sect cultivators seeking immortality, seeking is a free and easy, previously I was seriously injured then also let it go, the injuries have been healed, naturally not willing to live a life.”
Yue Lingzheng looked solemn, he knew in his heart that his senior uncle had a death wish in his heart. Not to mention his uncle, why would he not want to kill his enemy?
The mountain gate was broken, he was not afraid of life and death, only worried that after death, he would not have the face to face the generations of patriarchs.
“Yes, senior uncle, I will go and summon the others here now!”
The remaining hundreds of people quickly arrived, and as if they had foreseen what would happen next, a look of determination colored the eyes of most of them.
Sheng Qingyun’s gaze swept over the crowd one by one, “I am determined, to leave the Devil’s Cave at dawn tomorrow and kill my way back to the mountain gate.”
Some people’s faces showed worry, the Easy Sect only had one YuanYing True Lord left in Master Sheng, while the evil cultivators had a total of four YuanYing cultivators.
That day when the mountain gate was broken, the evil cultivators watched them jump down to the devil’s cave with their own eyes, but they did not kill them all.
Perhaps those evil cultivators were certain that they wouldn’t last long in the Devil’s Cave, and would eventually have the initiative to leave one day.
“Senior Uncle, is this move too presumptuous? We have only gotten a chance to catch our breath by accommodating ourselves in the Devil Cave, if we show up rashly, I’m afraid we’ll be wiped out in one fell swoop.”
“If we die, will the Easy Sect not be as bad as the Cold Mountain Sect, with its legacy cut off?”
Sheng Qingyun’s gaze, swept over from the two who spoke, nodding slightly.
“What you have said, I have naturally considered. After leaving the Devil’s Cave tomorrow, the troops will split into two, I will first cover some of the people to leave, so that the Easy Sect’s inheritance will not be cut off.
The rest will follow me and kill back to the mountain gate together.”
The two of them were slightly relieved and worried that the others would think that they were greedy and afraid of death, so they hurriedly explained.
“Senior uncle, we are not afraid of death, it is just that the clan’s inheritance, cannot be cut off ……”
“There is no need to explain, I have a number in my heart.”
Sheng Qingyun finished, pointing out one hundred and forty people, divided into seven squads.
She then distributed the few remaining talismanic treasures and treasure weapons to the several Jindan cultivators who were leading the group and instructed them.
“When we get out of the Devil’s Cave, you and the others will lead your respective escapes, and the heavy responsibility of the clan’s inheritance will be left in the hands of the seven of you.”
Rune Peak Master Xue Xing, with a disapproving look on his face.
“Senior uncle, originally my Free Sect only has three hundred and ninety people left, if we escape, then how can you have a way to live?
In my opinion, we should flee together and fight together!”
“That’s right, Senior Uncle, let’s escape with us! There is no need to worry about burning firewood when there are green hills left, evil cultivators are rampant for a while, but there will always be a day when they are overthrown.”
“If you don’t want to run away, I’ll follow you to kill your way out of the siege!”
Sheng Qingyun raised his hand, stopping the crowd from speaking.
Although the evil cultivators hadn’t chased them into the depths of the Demon Cave, they definitely wouldn’t be unprepared.
With her strength alone, how could she protect so many Jindan stage and even Foundation stage disciples?
To be able to cover these two hundred people to escape and preserve the sect’s heritage from extinction was already not easy.
“My mind is made up, you and others don’t need to persuade me anymore. It’s easy to die, what’s difficult is to live and guard the sect’s inheritance.
I am entrusting this heavy responsibility to you and the others, and I hope you can understand my intentions.”
The several Jindan cultivators who had been entrusted with this important task looked at each other with a difficult look in their eyes.
They wanted to live and die with the sect, but senior uncle had also said that the inheritance must not be broken.
Uncle said what soldiers divided into two roads, but just want to lead those fellow disciples, for them to kill a bloody road is just ……
Sheng Qingyun spoke in detail about the battle strategy that had long been formulated before returning to the cave alone.
Closing the stone door, she let out a long sigh, helplessness showing in her eyes, and muttered to herself.
“Old Ye ah Old Ye, you died easily, leaving such a mess for me, what a pain in the ass.
On the spot, in order to find a way out for the Easy Sect, you didn’t hesitate to use up the last bit of your life span to forcefully divine, causing me to lead my disciples to cower in the Devil’s Cave.
Now that eighty years have passed, tomorrow is the date you predicted, but where is your so-called turnaround?”
