Chapter 236: Entering the Cave

In the eerie valley, Yun Yi looked around, and his gaze finally fell on the dark Black Mountain cave ahead. His instincts told him that this cave was not as simple as it seemed.

Before long, Black Wind and Duan Tianye arrived with Nie Qing, coming to Yun Yi’s side.

Entering the valley, Black Wind acted as if nothing was wrong, completely ignoring the cold climate there. The harsh environment posed no harm to him at all.

Duan Tianye was the same; with his Heavenly Demon Physique, he was supported by demonic energy. The demonic energy floating in the valley actually benefited him, while Nie Qing looked pale, constantly fighting against the evil energy and demonic energy with Samadhi True Fire.

“Where is Li Wushuang?”

Black Wind asked.

“He ran away.”

Yun Yi said calmly.

“Wow, how could that jerk get away? But I’m very surprised that he managed to escape at your speed.”

Black Wind said. He knew very well how Li Wushuang was when he ran away. Under those circumstances, it was inevitable that Yun Yi would catch him, and he should have faced certain death. Yet he successfully escaped now, which surprised Black Wind. However, seeing Yun Yi’s unhappy expression, Black Wind thought there was more to Li Wushuang’s escape. Otherwise, how could someone as skilled as Yun Yi let Li Wushuang get away easily?

“Earlier, a lot of Corpse Demons appeared here, blocking me and giving Li Wushuang a chance to escape.”

Yun Yi did not hide anything and told Black Wind about the situation with the Corpse Demons, also sharing his own opinion.

“The Corpse Demons definitely have an issue. Beings in the Hundred Spirit Realm, especially the spirits of the dead, wouldn’t actively save someone. These Corpse Demons must have been controlled by someone.”

Black Wind said firmly.

“Is there someone in the Hundred Spirit Realm who can control many Corpse Demons? Could there be a more powerful being in the Hundred Spirit Realm? But why rescue Li Wushuang specifically?”

Duan Tianye frowned in confusion. The appearance of Corpse Demons did not surprise them; after all, there were many different creatures in the Hundred Spirit Realm, and since the Nine-Lived Rock Demon had appeared, the emergence of Corpse Demons was quite normal.

What truly alarmed them was that the Corpse Demons were being controlled by someone. The person behind the control of the Corpse Demons was the real threat. It was easy to imagine that their journey in the Hundred Spirit Realm would not be peaceful this time.

“Don’t worry too much. Has a journey in the Hundred Spirit Realm ever been peaceful? If everything went smoothly, what would be the point?”

Yun Yi smiled. He didn’t know who was controlling the Corpse Demons or why that person wanted to rescue Li Wushuang, but Yun Yi didn’t care. To him, it was all irrelevant. He wanted to focus on his own matters. Li Wushuang wasn’t killed this time, but there would be another chance.

The more dangerous it became, the better the experience gained. The more challenging it was, the more it ignited Yun Yi’s fighting spirit. They had just entered the Hundred Spirit Realm for three days, and everything had only just begun. They had yet to truly step into the central part of the Hundred Spirit Realm, and Yun Yi was filled with anticipation for their journey.

“Black Wind, do you see anything unusual about this cave?”

Yun Yi looked at Black Wind.

Black Wind’s pupils shrank as he gazed into the dark cave, and Duan Tianye and Nie Qing looked over at the same time.

This cave was so dark and scary; many Corpse Demons had rushed out from it before. No one knew what was inside the cave, but one thing was certain: this cave was not ordinary and must hold great danger.

“There is great danger inside; we better not go in. This is an unlucky place.”

Black Wind said, his tone very serious.

“It’s too dark and eerie, like a ghostly realm. Senior Brother Yun, we should leave; there might be terrible danger inside.”

Nie Qing said, feeling weak and unable to bear the environment there.

Yun Yi frowned. Since Black Wind said there was danger, it must be true, but curiosity stirred in him, and he became quite interested in the cave. If he just left now, he would surely feel regret.

“I want to go in.”

Just as Black Wind and Nie Qing suggested leaving, Yun Yi hesitated slightly when Duan Tianye suddenly spoke up.

Yun Yi and Nie Qing’s eyes turned to Duan Tianye’s face; Duan Tianye’s eyes were bright and focused, staring intently at the dark Black Mountain cave, as if something inside had a great attraction.

“Tianye, what do you sense?”

Yun Yi asked, knowing that Duan Tianye had the powerful Heavenly Demon Physique. Such divine bodies have great advantages of their own. Even Black Wind said that the cave was extremely dangerous, yet Duan Tianye wanted to go inside and spoke so firmly. It was clear that Duan Tianye sensed something.

“I feel a call; something in this cave is calling to me.”

Duan Tianye said.

“A call?”

Yun Yi was slightly surprised and then looked at Black Wind.

“You don’t need to look at me. I can tell you with certainty that this cave is indeed very dangerous. However, in this world, danger and opportunity always exist together. I cannot say whether the call Duan Tianye sensed is good or bad.”

Black Wind replied.

“Black Wind is right; danger and opportunity coexist. There is a power inside the cave calling to me. I don’t know if it is good or bad, and I know that if I go in, I might not survive, but I still want to take a look. If I don’t go in, it will be my biggest regret on this journey to the Hundred Spirit Realm.”

Duan Tianye said firmly, “Little Yun, Black Wind, Nie Qing, you three do not need to follow me into this adventure. Let’s part ways here. Everyone has their own opportunities and their own thoughts. Whether it’s life or death on this journey, it is my choice, Duan Tianye’s choice.”

“I will go with you; I also want to see what dangers are hidden in this cave,” said Yun Yi.

“You really are fearless.”

Nie Qing looked speechless, but he knew that once Yun Yi and Duan Tianye made a decision, it would not change.

“Hehe, to be honest, Cat Lord is also curious and wants to see what the dangers in the cave are. Maybe we’ll even find some benefits.”

Black Wind said with a laugh. This guy never shies away from trouble, especially now that they are in the Hundred Spirit Realm. If you are afraid of danger, it’s better not to come in at all.

“Alright, since that’s the case, let’s go in and take a look.”

Yun Yi said with determination, then turned to Nie Qing and said, “Nie Qing, you should not come in. The Shadow Evil energy here is too strong and not suitable for you. Moreover, if we run into danger, we might not be able to help you.”

Upon hearing this, Nie Qing shook his head helplessly, but he knew that what Yun Yi said was the truth.

“Well, since that’s the case, you all should be careful.”

Nie Qing said, he was very aware of his own strength; if he insisted on going in, he would only become a burden to Yun Yi and the others.
