Chapter 668: Chapter 662: Enemies on a Narrow Path
“Let’s go!”
As his voice fell, the man waved his hand, leading his imposing troops to retreat and rapidly vanish from Ye Xuan and the others’ sight.
Seeing these people withdraw, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zuo Lingyun then turned to Ye Xuan with a glint in her beautiful eyes, “Ye Xuan, your strength now must be no less than mine, right?”
Zuo Lingyun had always been suspicious of Ye Xuan’s strength, wondering if it had reached a level beyond her expectations, and suspecting that Ye Xuan had been hiding his true power. She could no longer see through him.
“Senior sister’s skills, I have yet to witness. If you don’t use your trump card, I should still be able to exchange a few moves with you,” Ye Xuan said with a light smile.
Not sure whether Ye Xuan was telling the truth or not, Zuo Lingyun didn’t ask further. She knew that even if she asked, Ye Xuan wouldn’t easily reveal anything.
Everyone has their secrets and trump cards that they don’t easily expose.
“We should also set off, it seems we’ll soon reach the depths of this mountain range.” Ye Xuan didn’t want to dwell on the topic and looked ahead, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. He was extrely interested in the so-called “Demon Cache.”
After all, the Earth Emperor Book might be here. It was possible to find so clues in this Demon Cache.
Zuo Lingyun nodded slightly, saying no more. Her delicate body moved, and she quickly darted forward.
On the remainder of their journey, they encountered no significant obstacles. Even when powerful Demon Beasts appeared, Ye Xuan and his companions quickly dealt with them. After about an hour, they finally entered the deepest part of the vast mountain range.
In the deepest part of the mountain range, dense Demonic Qi twisted around the sky, making it appear gloomy. After reaching this deep into the mountains, they could occasionally hear mysterious cries that directly penetrated their souls.
Ye Xuan and his companions ascended a crimson mountain peak and scanned the surroundings, only to see silhouettes scattered all over the mountains. Farther away, countless figures were sweeping through the skies. The scale of their gathering was imnse.
“So many people have co,” Zuo Shi muttered, unable to help herself. Judging from the situation, it seed that all the sowhat capable forces and powerhouses within thousands of miles had rushed here. In Demon City, there were many permanent powerhouses who waited for news of these treasures. At the slightest disturbance, they would move out en masse.
Ye Xuan’s gaze shifted and he saw a cave, steeped in Demonic Qi, in the valley below. Sharp howls sporadically emitted from the cave.
“It is said that countless powerful beings have fallen here, whether from the Human Clan, the Demon Clan, or the Alien Clan. It’s still unknown to which race this Demon Cache truly belongs.”
Zuo Lingyun pointed her slender finger ahead, where mountain peaks sharp as blades surrounded the cave. These peaks, like mighty Alien Clan warriors, were dark as though stained by the sinister energy of the place.
“Oh? Looks like this cave must be the necessary passageway to that Demon Cache,” Ye Xuan remarked, his expression shifting slightly, though he did not notice anything else peculiar.
“This cave is just an outlet for Demonic Qi. Even with my cultivation, I can’t enter it,” Zuo Lingyun said with a smile: “Over the past few centuries, countless experts have co here to explore, but without any gains. It seems the ti has not yet co. If a powerhouse of that level wished to conceal sothing, it would be extrely difficult to find the Demon Cache they left behind.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. Such beings, even if slightly inferior to the Three Emperors, were still Saints of ancient tis with formidable strength.
To covet their belongings, one would likely have to pay with their life.
“This thing is rumored to be a demonic treasury, its owner is likely a prominent figure from the Alien Clan.”
“Next, we’ll just wait quietly for the ergence of the demonic treasury. I think it should be happening soon,” Zuo Lingyun said softly, her beautiful eyes fixated on the abyss-like demonic hole.
In the ti that followed, Ye Xuan and the others sat quietly on the crimson mountain peak. As ti passed, more and more powerful figures and forces arrived in the area, with the clamor and commotion making the deep recesses of the mountains exceptionally noisy.
Whoosh.
Ye Xuan, seated at the mountain’s summit, squinted and suddenly stirred, opening his eyes to look in the direction to his right, where a flurry of whooshing sounds suddenly erged along with strong currents of True Yuan fluctuations rippling continuously.
Within Ye Xuan’s line of sight, a dozen figures were seen hurtling through the air, eventually landing on a nearby mountain peak.
Those people were no strangers to Ye Xuan; they were indeed the leader of the second squad, Mu Yan, and those accompanying him, including Liu Qing, Song Ling, and Leng Qianxing.
“It’s Mu Yan and the others…”
Zuo Lingyun glanced at Mu Yan and his group, and a wave of emotion rippled through her eyes, clearly surprised that these people had also arrived here.
“A few annoying fellows,” Zuo Shi comnted with a look of disgust upon seeing Liu Qing, Song Ling, and the others.
“Linger, it seems the chance to stand up for you is coming,” Ye Xuan said, as they spotted Mu Yan, who in turn cast their gaze over, a sowhat sinister and eerie smile appearing on his face, with a hint of chill flashing in his eyes.
“These people, they’re lucky we didn’t kill them in yesterday’s attack,” Song Ling said with an icy expression.
Thanks to the tily rescue by the Diancang Sword Saint, they hadn’t suffered much harm, but Ye Xuan’s group hadn’t had such help. Unlike Xiao Lin’s team, which had been decimated, they could only be said to have been lucky.
“Don’t worry, previously because Master Diancang was there, it was troubleso to touch this kid, but now we are outside the demonic treasury, even if he dies here, I doubt anyone would suspect,” Mu Yan said, a glint of cold light in his eyes.
“It looks like Mu Yan is planning sothing sneaky. We need to be careful,” Zuo Lingyun advised, sensing a killing intent emanating from the other party.
“Those guys, after all, are from the sa sect, do they really intend to put us in mortal danger?” asked Zuo Shi, biting her silver teeth.
“In their eyes, there’s no such thing as brotherhood among sect mbers. This is the Demon Ruins, not a holy land; they will act without any hesitation.”
Ye Xuan shook his head. Although the Heavenly Martial Holy Land strictly forbade fratricide among fellow disciples, as long as there was no proof, a murder would remain unknown, naturally avoiding punishnt.
However, these were the Demon Ruins, filled with danger and a mix of forces everywhere. Since they had already seen through their intentions, Mu Yan and his group wouldn’t find it so easy to make a covert move. When the ti ca, who would kill whom was still an open question.
