"Kill!"
Bai Xiyue's booming shout made Qin Tian's heart tremble, his whole being shaken.
This woman, so full of murderous intent and cruelty, yet at this mont, she displayed the deanor of a great general, like a female general on the battlefield. Truly admirable!
"Everyone, follow along! Stay sharp!"
Chi Ren closely followed Bai Xiyue's lead, with seven people forming a circle. Weapons in hand, they wildly slashed and hacked at the ghost wolves charging at them desperately! With each blade and sword, waves of fierce sword energy burst forth!
After learning the painful lesson from Luo Ya's tragic death, this ti, everyone safely passed the last three miles—at the end of the forest path stood an iron chain suspension bridge!
This suspension bridge consisted only of iron chains, connecting two mountain cliffs. Below the chains lay an unfathomably deep abyss!
"In the Ghost Mountain range, such a scene actually exists?" Qin Tian was dumbfounded, but he also understood that there must have been wooden planks on this suspension bridge before. Later, to prevent the ghost wolves from crossing, the planks had been removed.
Having battled the ghost wolves, Qin Tian now had a rough idea of the capabilities of Bai Xiyue and the others.
The cultivation of Bai Xiyue and Xue Yao should be at least at the peak of the Primordial Pill stage. This was Qin Tian's conservative estimate. There was a high possibility that these two won had already broken through the peak of the Primordial Pill stage, entering a new realm—the Nascent Soul stage!
The Nascent Soul stage is a true germination phase for cultivating into an immortal—a stage all immortality cultivators aspire to!
When Qin Tian first saw this cultivation level in the Qilin Mountain Sect's ancient texts, he thought it was a mistake, mixing up Primordial Pill with Nascent Soul. Only later did he realize there indeed was such a powerful cultivation level, but no one in the Qilin Mountain Sect had ever reached it.
Besides Bai Xiyue and Xue Yao, the other four, including Chi Ren, had cultivation levels between the middle and late stages of the Primordial Pill stage. Chi Ren seed likely to have reached the peak of the Primordial Pill stage, matching Qin Tian's cultivation level.
"All are strong, goddamn it, even the subordinates are this powerful. Is this Demon Sect trying to dominate the heavens?"
Qin Tian carefully made his way along the iron chains towards the opposite cliff. Though the cliff was high, he was not afraid.
Everyone proceeded in order, and as they neared the opposite cliff, they all leapt simultaneously and landed.
After landing, Bai Xiyue imdiately gestured for silence, and everyone instantly beca cautious.
Unusually cautious, even concentrating in vigilance.
What could be so terrifying to make them this fearful?
Bai Xiyue, who had seen many great battles, didn't even glance at the ghost wolves, yet now, showed a trace of fear?
Qin Tian was stunned, observing from the side, seeing Bai Xiyue fixating on a roughly three-ter-tall dark cave under the dim light ahead of the cliff.
Another cave appeared, yet clearly, facing this naless cave, Bai Xiyue was tens of tis more fearful and concerned than when facing the Ghost Wall. Even Qin Tian could sense it.
Simultaneously, Qin Tian could also feel strange winds coming from the mysterious cave, carrying an evil True Qi pressure!
"Could there be a master residing inside? Then, why did Bai Xiyue and the others risk coming here? To kill? To seize sothing?"
At this mont, Qin Tian was a bit puzzled.
Seeing Bai Xiyue and the others looking prepared and alert, he dared not be idle. However, hesitating for a mont, he quietly approached and asked Bai Xiyue in a low voice, "Miss Bai, are we going in?"
Bai Xiyue glanced at Qin Tian and whispered, "In a mont, when we charge in, I need you to look after Xue Yao. She cannot fall here. If... If we don't make it out, you must, with everything you've got, take Xue Yao out. Will you promise ?"
What?!
Hearing Bai Xiyue's words, Qin Tian suddenly felt a chill run down his spine!
Everything had seed fine and confident just monts ago, yet at the cave entrance, Bai Xiyue was saying such things?
Qin Tian took a deep breath, yet before he could answer, Bai Xiyue pursed in and asked in a low voice, "I helped send your friend Zhou Yang back, this favor you must return."
"Protect Xue Yao? She seems to have a higher cultivation than I do..."
"Her cultivation is high, but even if she goes in, she might not make it out. So... I just need your promise to protect her at all costs."
Seeing Bai Xiyue's earnest eyes, Qin Tian could only nod.
There was no choice, as he had already promised to repay Bai Xiyue for helping with Zhou Yang.
Bai Xiyue took out a compass, carefully observing the pointers. A few seconds later, she seed to have found the mont, whispering, "Now, go in!"
"Hahaha! Hahaha!"
Before they even stepped inside, bursts of laughter erupted within the cave!
This laughter echoed through the heavens and earth, as if shaking the entire mountain range to its core!
Whish! Whish! Whish!
Accompanying the laughter was a gale of True Qi impact rushing from the depths of the cave, like a tornado howling out. Standing at the entrance, Bai Xiyue and the others hurriedly circulated their True Qi to resist!
Yet despite this, they found themselves struggling to remain steady under the bombardnt of the powerful True Qi shock wave.
"Such strong True Qi!"
Qin Tian was inwardly startled. Just now, he clearly heard soone inside the cave laughing wildly, a laughter filled with an overwhelming dominance over the world!
"Could there be soone inside? Who might it be?"
Qin Tian frowned, relating to Bai Xiyue's earlier tension, and suddenly felt he understood, "Could there be a super powerful immortality cultivator inside whom even Bai Xiyue can't handle? If so, why would he reside in this cave?"
"Wondering who dares disturb my rest, turns out it's a bunch of kids!"
From inside the cave ca a deep, imperious voice, "It's you again? Demon Sect's little folks, last ti you returned empty-handed, and now you dare co again? Hahaha, aren't you afraid I'll eat you up!"
Indeed, it seed the person inside the cave knew Bai Xiyue. Qin Tian glanced at her as she stood at the entrance, saying, "Senior, we an no offense, but the item we need, you should know, we cannot leave without it. So, I humbly ask you to hand it over, and I swear we will never disturb you again..."
"You damn brat! Old man needs the Holy Water to sustain life, and you still want to steal my lifeline? Why doesn't that old fart Moon Demon co himself—sending you kids? Hahaha, if you've got the guts, co in, and I'll devour you piece by piece, perfect for a midnight snack!"
"Senior, retrieving the Holy Water is our independent decision, nothing to do with the Sect Hierarch, so..."
Bai Xiyue's words were abruptly cut off by the cave dweller:
"Hahaha, who doesn't know what kind of person Moon Demon is? His promises are nothing but crap! Treacherous wretch! Co now, you little brats, if you're brave enough, co take the Holy Water! Perfect timing for my supper!"
