"Martial Uncles, please calm down and listen to me..."
Seeing those Martial Uncles from his sect, along with some fellow disciples, raising their swords, glaring fiercely, their eyes filled with killing intent, Yu Long also became somewhat flustered.
"You brat, youâve even brought the Demon Clan here to the Nether Immortal Cave. Your ambition is as clear as day," an old man said angrily.
"Martial Uncle, he is not of the Demon Clan; he is from the Human Race. And he doesnât mean any harm." Yu Longâs face turned crimson as he frantically waved his hands, trying to explain.
He truly didnât want the disciples of the Nether Immortal Cave to fight the black-robed Demon Clan youth under the seniorâs command. After all, even his father couldnât defeat that black-robed Demon Clan youth. His father, already at the Fourth Level of the Life and Death Realm, ranked among the top ten high-level combatants in the entire Nether Immortal Cave.
ăIn the depths of the Nether Immortal Cave.ă
On a rock wall stood a magnificent golden hall. It was the Sect Leaderâs Main Hall.
At that moment, two elders were standing inside. One of them, dressed in plain green robes, had a simple appearance. His cultivation base had reached the Fifth Level of the Life and Death Realm, and his white hair fluttered in the wind. The other, dressed in a white robe, had a ruddy complexion and a robust physique. His cultivation base had also reached the Fifth Level of the Life and Death Realm.
"Sect Leader Senior Brother, have you noticed? The poison in Yu Longâs body has disappeared, and his Super Divine Dragon Breath is as strong as before," the white-robed elder said in amazement, his hands clasped behind his back as he gazed up at the sky.
"This group is no ordinary one," the green-robed elder said seriously, his brow slightly furrowed. A thought crossed his mind, and he said solemnly, "That black-robed young man from the Demon Clan must be the one who defeated Elder Yu at Xuan Yang Sectâs Peak."
The white-robed elderâs heart stirred. He immediately grabbed a white scroll from a nearby table, opened it, and examined it closely. The scroll depicted a black-robed young man, who was indeed the Demon Clan youth from above.
"It really is him, Sect Leader Senior Brother." The white-robed elder looked towards the sky in astonishment, his brow furrowed. "Why has the Demon Clan come to our Nether Immortal Cave? Could it be theyâre after the Immortalâs Shell buried underground?"
"I have no idea. Our Nether Immortal Cave has stood in the Nether Immortal Dynasty for tens of thousands of years, and no Demon Clan has ever dared to covet the Immortalâs Shell at its bottom," the green-robed elder said slowly. As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he declared firmly, "If these Demon Clan members dare to make a move, we of the Nether Immortal Cave will make them regret ever setting foot here."
ăAbove the Nether Immortal Cave.ă
By this point, Yu Long had no strength left to defend himself. After all, whatever he said now would hold no weight. In the eyes of the people of the Nether Immortal Cave, Yu Long was no longer a member of the sect.
"Xuan bird, these people are too noisy. Tell them to back off," Ye Yun said indifferently.
"Yes, Master." The Xuan bird immediately stepped forward, glanced coldly around, then suddenly thrust an arm outwards and swept it.
WHOOSH!
A fierce gust of wind erupted. The white mist was torn to shreds by the wind, and the cultivators of the Nether Immortal Cave, unable to maintain their footing, were sent tumbling chaotically in all directions.
CRASH! CRASH!
These cultivators slammed into the rock walls of the Nether Immortal Cave, and many impacts created deep pits in the walls.
"So strong."
Inside the Sect Leaderâs Main Hall below, the two elders gasped in disbelief as they witnessed this.
That black-robed Demon Clan youth must also possess a cultivation base at the Fifth Level of the Life and Death Realm.
"Quick, summon all Life and Death Realm disciples of the sect!" the green-robed elder said with a grave expression.
The white-robed elder acknowledged and vanished in a flash.
"This..." Yu Long stared in astonishment at the scene.
This black-robed Demon Clan senior, his cultivation base isnât just at the Fourth Level of the Life and Death Realm. The attack he just launched was at least at the Fifth Level!
Once a cultivator reached the Life and Death Realm, each level was a First Layer Heaven, marking a huge disparity in combat strength.
Having easily dealt with this group of Young monks from the Life and Death and Destiny Realms, the Xuan bird dusted off its hands, chuckling with a hint of nonchalance.
They were just too weak. As an Eternal Realm great demon, dealing with these Young monks was far too easy.
"Letâs go," Ye Yun said with a smile, suddenly increasing his speed of descent.
The Xuan bird and Yu Long quickly followed.
After descending a full hundred miles, a formation suddenly materialized, blocking their path.
"Break!" Ye Yun uttered a single word, and the formation silently vanished.
With the formation gone, the scene below came into clear view.
Below lay a verdant valley, extremely rich in Spiritual Energy, filled with all sorts of colorful Spirit Grass. In the center of the valley, seven black coffins were conspicuously arranged. What startled Ye Yun was that the seven coffins were arranged in the pattern of the Big Dipper.
Why is it the Big Dipper again?
Ye Yun was momentarily taken aback.
He had originally intended to search for the Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon. As for the depths of the Nether Immortal Cave, he was merely curious to take a look.
But he hadnât expected this.
After breaking through the Defense Formation that concealed the caveâs aura, Ye Yun saw a Seven-star formation composed of seven black coffins.
These seven coffins... they seem to resonate with the Big Dipper in the sky.
"Have you seen these seven coffins before?" Ye Yun turned his head and looked indifferently at Yu Long beside him.
Yu Long was also very surprised; this was his first time entering the deepest valley of the Nether Immortal Cave. He hadnât expected seven coffins to be here.
Could it be that the rumors about the Nether Immortal Cave burying an Immortalâs Shell are true?
"Senior, this place is a core secret of the sect. This is also my first time entering," Yu Long said, his voice trembling with excitement, his whole body shaking. "It seems the legends are true! The Nether Immortal Cave truly buries an Immortalâs Shell!"
"What Immortal?" the Xuan bird beside him sneered and said dismissively.
Immortal is just a legend. Based on my senses, the most one could find buried here would be Eternal Realm cultivators. But to have so many Eternal Realm cultivators buried in one place is still quite astounding.
Doubt rose in the Xuan birdâs heart.
Just then, numerous figures suddenly appeared above the trio.
"Set up the formation!"
With a furious roar, the natureâs spiritual energy in the surroundings became chaotic. Streaks of sword light shot into the sky, forming a large formation above them.
Within the large formation, the phantom of an elder in a green robe slowly revealed a colossal face amidst the sword light.
"Yu Long, you damned traitor to the sect! You actually led outsiders into the sectâs most core area! Your crime deserves death!"
As soon as the elderâs voice fell.
"Yu Long deserves death!"
"Deserves death!"
An unknown number of Nether Immortal Cave cultivators roared in unison, their voices like a vast ocean. The sound was earth-shattering, and in that instant, all the dark clouds above the Nether Immortal Cave were swept away. For ten thousand miles around, all demon beasts fled in terror.
As the sound waves descended from mid-air, Yu Long barely managed to steady himself. His face was pale, and he trembled as he looked at the green-robed elder, stammering, "Sect Master, you must have misunderstood. Senior wouldnât..."
Before he could finish his explanation.
"Kill!"
A heaven-shattering Sword Qi plummeted from mid-air, heading straight for Yu Long.
