Chapter 785: Playing Tough
Ye Kang collected all the utensils along the way, whether they were pots and pans, books and ornaments, he didn't leave anything behind and stuffed them all into the Ink Jade Realm.
He would also set up a few instant-cast formations to make things difficult for the four people following behind.
They continued on their way until a pavilion and tower finally appeared ahead.
It appears to be a cave world, consisting of a deep pool with a magnificent pavilion in the middle. There are wooden bridges on the east and west sides leading to the pavilion.
Clearly, this is Yan Wuque's true cave dwelling, and also the place where the real treasures are hidden.
"Uncle!"
Suddenly, Mei Niannian cried out in surprise and ran straight to the edge of the deep pool.
But there they saw Mei Luoting and Su Hongxiu, along with other Nirvana experts, confronting each other by the pool.
The three Nirvana sword cultivators of the White Moon Sword Sect drew their swords simultaneously, their auras rising.
"Fellow Daoist Canye, what is the meaning of this?"
"It's nothing. This place originally belonged to our White Moon Sword Sect. You've already taken advantage of this opportunity, do you want more? We must go first into this pavilion."
The corners of Canye Zhenren's mouth curled up, his words brimming with confidence.
With three against two, he has the advantage.
That attic looks like a great place to hide treasures, how could we let others go in first?
Su Hongxiu was furious, and her aura immediately surged: "Are you looking for a beating?!"
"Hold on."
Meloding quickly stopped the enraged Su Hongxiu, then quietly transmitted his voice, "Let them go first."
"Why?"
"Trust me."
Melotting shook his head solemnly, and Su Hongxiu's pupils shifted, but she did not continue her rampage.
If they were to actually fight, they would definitely win, but it would take some effort and they would inevitably get injured.
But there must be a reason why Melodin said that. Since he was skilled in divination, he might have foreseen that there was some danger in the attic.
Thinking of this, Su Hongxiu snorted coldly, turned her head away, and said no more.
Melodin nodded, then gave Ye Kang and the other man a look, signaling them to come over.
Ye Kang and Mei Niannian quickly came up behind the two elders.
Merlotting extended his hand and said generously, "What Fellow Daoist Canye said makes sense, so you may go first."
The three sword cultivators exchanged a glance and began to transmit their voices.
"Senior brother, Mei Luoting is meticulous. He gave way so easily. There must be a trap."
"Could it be that they knew there was danger ahead?"
Canye didn't care at all: "Don't overthink it. This is their first time here too. They don't know as much as we do. The important thing is to go over there and seize the best opportunity."
"it is good!"
The two junior disciples nodded in agreement with Master Canye's idea.
This wasn't the first time the three of them had gone on an adventure; if they had always been hesitant and timid, they wouldn't have achieved their current status.
Without further ado, the three of them walked side by side, taking the lead towards the wooden bridge.
As they stepped onto the wooden bridge, it swayed slightly. The three of them calmed themselves and tried to be as cautious as possible in their surroundings.
Like all cave dwellings, this place is also subject to a no-fly zone, making it impossible to fly directly there.
The fact that Yan Wuque could suppress them to such an extent shows that he is at least a Dao Integration Realm expert.
The cave dwelling left behind by a Dao-merging master is exciting to even think about.
Melodin quietly observed the road ahead, and as expected, when the three had gone halfway, a sudden change occurred.
Suddenly, two black-scaled monster fish leaped out of the deep pool, their rows of sharp, serrated teeth making them look extremely ferocious.
Without hesitation, the strange fish opened its mouth and rammed into the three of them, clearly intending to swallow them all in one gulp.
The remnant night master's eyes turned cold, and in an instant, he unleashed countless sword strikes, the sword light forming meteors that violently bombarded the monster fish's belly.
True Immortal Canye lived up to his reputation as a powerful sword cultivator in the Nirvana Realm. With just one strike, the strange fish jumped away in pain, and many of its hard scales were also cut off.
The three sword cultivators breathed a sigh of relief. In the deep pool, countless bubbles rose, and then one by one, ferocious blood-red eyes emerged from the water.
Canye Zhenren's scalp tingled instantly: "Not good! Retreat!"
The three men's expressions changed drastically, and without hesitation, they ran backward, each transforming into a beam of sword light, and returned to the shore.
"Ha, even if I give you a chance, it won't be of any use."
Upon seeing this, Su Hongxiu immediately made sarcastic remarks.
The three sword cultivators' faces instantly turned ashen: "Meloting! You knew all along that there was a guardian beast inside!"
Meloding shook his head: "I didn't know. Even if I knew there was danger, I didn't know there were so many ferocious fish. If the three of you had been even slightly greedy and rushed towards the pavilion, you would probably have been torn to pieces by those ferocious fish."
The three sword cultivators were furious, but they couldn't show it, so they could only grit their teeth and say, "Then what do we do now? If we can't get through, neither can you."
Melodin's eyes flickered: "I just took a look. These ferocious fish appear to be ferocious beasts, but they are composed of pure death energy. I suspect that these fish are actually evil spirits, not living beings."
"so what?"
"If I remember correctly, one of us happens to possess a magical treasure that can deal with evil spirits."
Upon hearing this, both Canye Zhenren and Su Hongxiu widened their eyes and looked at Ye Kang at the same time.
That's right, Ye Kang clearly used that exorcising magic treasure once in the Unforgivable Secret Realm.
Ye Kang was also stunned for a moment. Good heavens, they managed to get this all onto him!
The Soul-Binding Bell is indeed a magical artifact for dealing with evil spirits, but it's uncertain whether it will be effective against these strange fish.
Master Canye immediately roared, "Boy! Hand over your bell now!"
Ye Kang didn't speak; someone else would speak for him.
Su Hongxiu stepped forward: "Dream on! If you want to use Ye Kang's treasure to pave the way, then we'll have to go first!"
"Su Hongxiu, this guy is just a mere Xingluo, don't let him make a mistake."
The tone of the remnant night master turned cold, and his words were filled with murderous intent.
Su Hongxiu, however, was not intimidated at all. Instead, she said, "Fine, you dare to lay a hand on my students? Then I'll wipe out your Ten Heroes of the White Moon and see who feels more sorry for them. Trying to act tough with me? Your grandma was the least afraid of tough people in her past life!"
Su Hongxiu's words were extremely harsh, but very effective.
The two sword cultivators beside him quickly looked at True Person Canye and shook their heads at him.
This is not something to gamble on. Su Hongxiu is truly capable of such outrageous acts. The Ten Heroes of Baiyue have been cultivated at great expense, and they absolutely cannot be allowed to perish prematurely.
Ye Kang didn't expect his head student to be so helpful, but these words sounded like he was going to trade his life for someone else's.
With a dark expression, Master Canye could only grit his teeth and say, "Fine, you can go first."
He's a little scared now; it wouldn't be good if he ended up at the front again and got attacked by the strange fish.
Following behind ensures that these people don't try anything funny.
Su Hongxiu nodded and winked at Ye Kang.
The latter immediately understood, took out the Soul-Binding Bell, poured in his true energy, and the bell shook to suppress the soul!
The atmosphere around him instantly turned cold. He took a deep breath and strode onto the wooden bridge, with Su Hongxiu and Meiluoting following behind.
Mei Niannian was in fourth place, followed closely by three Nirvana Sword Cultivators, while the remaining Ten Heroes of the White Moon could only be ranked last.
