Demon Cave Mountain.

The Asura army, like a dark cloud, shrouded the entire mountain range, stretching for thousands of miles, seemingly endless.

Both the heavens and the earth have been occupied by the Asura army.

These Asuras were not the ragtag Heavenly Demons who initially rushed out; they were the elite of the elite, generally possessing formidable strength, in no way inferior to the white-robed man and the other sect disciples who entered the Demon Cave, and perhaps even stronger.

Even a Shura at the beginner level of supernatural powers is only a minor leader in this army, let alone the commanders and generals above them. Their strength is probably even greater than that of the white-robed man and the others.

At this moment, the middle section of Demon Cave Mountain was unusually quiet, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

“Father, Thirteenth Brother was the first to arrive at the Demon Cave, followed by Ninth Sister. Unfortunately, neither of them sent out the news. If we hadn’t noticed something amiss, we might not have known about Thirteenth Brother and Ninth Sister’s actions.”

A magnificently dressed, imposing figure bathed in demonic light stepped forward; he was the seventh son of the Asura King.

"Does Seventh Brother mean that Thirteenth Brother and Ninth Sister want to monopolize the Demon Cave?" Fifth Prince asked with a forced smile.

Since everyone was an adult Asura, they naturally understood the Seventh Prince's implied meaning, but they did not speak as frankly as the Fifth Prince.

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince shook his head slightly: "Of course I didn't mean that, it's just that the actions of the Thirteenth Brother and the Ninth Sister..."

He didn't continue speaking, and no one responded; the atmosphere in the room became solemn.

All eyes turned to the Asura King on the high throne.

Unlike other Asuras who are ugly men and beautiful women, the Asura King seems to have broken this rule. Time has not left any marks on him, nor has his appearance left any flaws. He is perfect without any imperfections, and he also has an aura of high status. Wherever he is, in any occasion, he will become the focus of everyone's attention.

"Reporting, His Highness the Ninth Prince has arrived!"

At this moment, a guard's report broke the silence.

"Let her in," the Asura King's calm voice rang out.

Soon, Ayana strode in, her previous allure gone, replaced by a striking and heroic air thanks to her red armor.

"Greetings, Father!" Ayena stepped forward to the Asura King, her eyes fixed straight ahead, and bowed in respect.

The Asura King, seated on the high platform, slowly opened his eyes, which were as deep as an abyss, and looked at Ayana, asking, "Where is Almo?"

His voice was neither sad nor happy, calm as still water, yet no one dared to ignore the authority it carried.

Ayana was no exception. She took a deep breath and respectfully replied, "Reporting to Father, Almo is dead. He died at the hands of a human warrior."

Although Almo died before she arrived at the Demon Cave, she did not immediately explain.

"died?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the royal disciples changed.

Almo not only died, but he also died at the hands of human warriors, something they had not anticipated.

The hot-tempered Seventh Prince said in a deep voice, "Human warriors, how dare they kill my thirteenth brother!"

"Ninth Sister, where are the human warriors? I need to lead troops to wipe them out!" another prince said.

Soon, the other princes also declared that they would avenge Almo, and the scene suddenly became noisy.

Ayana did not reply, but waited quietly for the Asura King to speak.

The Asura King's voice quickly rang out: "There is no longer any trace of humans in the Demon Cave. Have they left?"

These words caused Ayana's eyes to flicker slightly, but she quickly recovered and replied, "Reporting to Father, this is precisely why I am late. After my thirteenth brother died, I led troops to track down the human warriors, but unfortunately they escaped. I suppose the human warriors of the Ten Directions World already know that we have occupied the Demon Cave, and I'm afraid they will blockade the Demon Cave and expel us."

"It's alright. Human warriors can't expel the Demon Cave. The Demon Cave was imprisoned by them themselves. It's not so easy to expel it unless a human martial arts immortal is dispatched. Otherwise, those supernatural-level warriors have no chance at all."

"Even if Martial Immortal dares to make a move, he'll have to ask my opinion first. You needn't worry about that. The most urgent task is to clear out the demons in the Demon Cave. I intend to use the Demon Cave as a base to rally the Heavenly Demons and conquer the Ten Directions World!"

The Asura King did not care that news of their occupation of the Demon Cave had spread, because when he arrived at the Demon Cave, he had already noticed the methods left behind by the Human Martial Immortal. The changes here had already been transmitted and reached the ears of the Martial Immortal, who then noticed them.

Upon hearing the Asura King's words, all the princes responded in unison, "Yes, Father!"

……

outside world.

The situation is more serious than imagined.

The white-clad man and his companions seized their last chance to escape the guiding array and met the crowd waiting outside.

The group had already learned about what had happened inside the Demon Cave from others, and their faces were now grave.

"How are things going?"

Upon seeing the man in white, Wu Mo transmitted his voice and asked.

His face was very pale and ashen. The great losses suffered during this trip to the Demon Cave were causing him great distress.

Not only did they lose He Qiu, but even his nephew Wu Yun died at the hands of demons. Of the hundreds of people he brought in, only about a hundred remained.

Such a huge loss is quite difficult for even the powerful and wealthy Shengyuan Sect to bear.

Moreover, He Qiu did not die at the hands of demons or heavenly demons, but at the hands of Su Chen.

Adding to the fact that his projection had also been killed by Su Chen, Wu Mo was both angry and shocked.

Su Chen was naturally furious, wishing he could tear him to pieces.

Su Chen was also surprised, not understanding what he had experienced during his trip to the Demon Cave and why his strength had become so formidable.

However powerful they are, they cannot escape death.

When activating the guiding array, he specifically instructed the man in white to kill Su Chen, and if he could not kill Su Chen, to at least prevent Su Chen from escaping the demon cave.

The formation is now closed, but Su Chen is nowhere to be seen. He must have died under the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger.

This made him feel a little better.

However, before he could catch his breath, Wu Mo learned the latest news from the man in white.

The man in white transmitted his voice, "Elder Wu Mo, Su Chen is not dead. He is trapped in the Demon Cave!" He dared not tell Wu Mo that it was the Heavenly Demoness who saved Su Chen, so he could only bite the bullet and tell the truth.

"Not dead?" Wu Mo's eyes surged, flashing with cold light.

Just as he was about to ask about the details, a voice rang out: "Feng Bai, why didn't Su Chen come out?"

The speaker was Yun Xi, whose face was solemn as she frowned and questioned Feng Bai.

Before Feng Bai could speak, Wu Mo snorted coldly and said, "What right does a traitor who colludes with the Heavenly Demon have to come out? How dare he come out? It would have been better if you hadn't mentioned him. Now that you've brought him up, I want to ask how your Ziyang Sect recruits disciples. You've recruited a comrade of the Heavenly Demon who not only killed many disciples from various sects but also released the Heavenly Demon from the Demon Cave."

I now suspect that your Ziyang Sect wasn't unaware of this, but rather that it was premeditated. Perhaps Su Chen was merely bait you used, and the mastermind behind it all is your Ziyang Sect!

"Wu Mo, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Do you have any evidence to prove that Su Chen is an accomplice of the Heavenly Demon?"

It's nothing more than your sect's one-sided story. It's nothing more than Su Chen killing He Qiu, and you want to avenge him. But the Demon Cave training is a training, and there will inevitably be life-and-death struggles.

This point has existed since the beginning of their training in the Demon Cave. How can you consider Su Chen an accomplice of the Heavenly Demons just because he killed He Qiu and someone from your Holy Origin Sect?

Furthermore, even the sect leaders of the major sects might not know about the Heavenly Demon. How did Su Chen know about it? And how did he release the Heavenly Demon?

I already knew this from Yunxi. It was not Su Chen who released the Heavenly Demon, but a dragon trapped in Demon Cave Mountain.

The dragon had been plotting for thousands of years, managing to deceive the Martial Immortal's investigation, which gave him the opportunity to release the Heavenly Demon.

This matter has absolutely nothing to do with Su Chen, or with my Ziyang Sect!

As soon as Wu Mo finished speaking, Lu Hai stood up and retorted without any politeness.

Colluding with the Heavenly Demons is a crime that neither Su Chen nor the Ziyang Sect can bear.

Moreover, Su Chen did not collude with the Heavenly Demon, so he would never admit to Wu Mo's framing and malicious words.

Unexpectedly, Wu Mo sneered after hearing this: "Yun Xi has already been subdued by Su Chen. How can you believe what she says? My disciples saw Su Chen chatting and laughing with the Heavenly Demoness and joining forces to kill sect disciples. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiang Cheng of your sect and see if he will be biased towards Su Chen like Yun Xi!"

Lu Hai didn't speak, but looked at Xiang Cheng.

All eyes then fell on Xiang Cheng.

Xiang Cheng remained calm and answered the crowd's gazes, "I did see Su Chen and the Heavenly Demoness chatting happily. As for whether Su Chen colluded with the Heavenly Demoness, I have no way of knowing. But Su Chen lured the Heavenly Demoness to the Ruins City."

He spoke calmly, stating the facts without any bias, but his words made everyone present look solemn.

"You..." Yun Xi looked at Xiang Cheng with a cold face after hearing this, but Xiang Cheng ignored her.

At this moment, Feng Bai spoke up: "Yun Xi, you'd better stop making excuses. Everyone saw that the Heavenly Demoness appeared after Su Chen arrived at the Ruins City. Moreover, the Heavenly Demoness herself admitted that Su Chen brought her there. Shortly after the Heavenly Demoness appeared, the Heavenly Demon Army also appeared. If this matter has nothing to do with Su Chen, who do you think would believe it? On the contrary, you have been protecting Su Chen at every turn. I have reason to suspect that you have already been corrupted by the Heavenly Demons."

After a pause, Feng Bai looked at Wu Mo and cupped his hands, saying, "Elder Wu Mo, please examine her primordial spirit to prevent it from being infiltrated by a Heavenly Demon. Otherwise, the consequences could be dire!"

“Alright!” Wu Mo naturally agreed and released his primordial spirit, wanting to forcefully enter Yun Xi’s sea of ​​consciousness.

Sensing this vast and unfathomable primordial spirit power, Yun Xi's expression changed slightly, but she did not retreat; instead, she confronted it head-on.

However, before she could defend herself, a gentle force flew from behind her and blocked Wu Mo's attack for her.

Lu Hai spoke up: "Whether Yun Xi is a Heavenly Demon or not is not something your Holy Origin Sect should investigate. My Zi Yang Sect will handle the investigation itself."

As he spoke, he nodded to Yunxi, signaling her to open her mind so that everyone could examine it.

If Wu Mo were to forcibly open Yun Xi's sea of ​​consciousness, it would inevitably cause irreparable damage to Yun Xi and affect her martial arts.

If Yunxi were to voluntarily open her sea of ​​consciousness, there would be no such concerns.

Yunxi was aware of this, so she readily opened her mind and allowed everyone to examine it.

"There is no trace of being tainted by the Heavenly Demon!"

After the examination, everyone quickly concluded that Yunxi's sea of ​​consciousness showed no signs of being corrupted by the Heavenly Demon, which meant that she was not an accomplice of the Heavenly Demon.

"Since Yun Xi is not an accomplice of the Heavenly Demons, then what she says is naturally credible. As for Su Chen, if you want to know whether he is a member of the Heavenly Demons, you can wait until he comes out and examine his primordial spirit to see if he has sided with the Heavenly Demons!"

Lu Hai waved his hand, erasing the lingering scent left by Wu Mo for Yun Xi, and then looked deeply at Wu Mo.

Wu Mo's expression remained unchanged, showing no sign of abnormality.

Lu Hai withdrew his gaze, turned to Feng Bai, and asked, "Were you the last to leave, and did you see Su Chen?"

"I saw it! He was besieging us with the Heavenly Demoness!"

Under Lu Hai's gaze, Feng Bai's expression became somewhat unnatural, but he still forced himself to remain calm.

Upon hearing this, Lu Hai exclaimed in surprise and frowned, "Do you dare to release your primordial spirit and answer my question again?"

"Lu Hai, that's enough!" Wu Mo spoke up, stopping Lu Hai.

Lu Hai sneered: "What, you don't dare? Are you feeling guilty? Or is it that it wasn't Su Chen who colluded with the Heavenly Demon, but your Holy Origin Sect?"

"Lu Hai, stop spouting nonsense! Even if Su Chen didn't collude with the Heavenly Demon, his relationship with the Heavenly Demon is unclear. Who knows if the Heavenly Demon used some means to help Yun Xi evade our investigation!"

Wu Mo gave a cold shout, naturally unwilling to let Feng Bai release his primordial spirit for Lu Hai and the others to examine.

"Moreover, even if Su Chen didn't kill the Heavenly Demon, so what? Daring to kill a disciple of my Holy Origin Sect, he is doomed to die. He's going to die anyway, but dying in the Demon Cave will at least be more dignified for him!"

"That's a matter for later. Right now, I just want to know why Su Chen didn't come out!" Lu Hai's face darkened, and he said sternly.

He stared at Feng Bai and the others; they were among the last to come out, so they must know the reason.

Moreover, Wu Mo repeatedly prevented him from probing their primordial spirits, making him increasingly suspicious of them. Perhaps it was because of them that Su Chen was unable to come out in time.

Thinking of Su Chen's talent and strength, Lu Hai no longer cared about the relationship between the Ziyang Sect and the Shengyuan Sect, and wanted to forcefully extract the truth from him.

Wu Mo sneered after hearing this: "He has no choice but to blame himself for not being able to get out."

"Stop talking nonsense! Make Feng Bai release his primordial spirit so everyone can see if what happened inside is as you say. Is it that Su Chen couldn't make it in time, or is it that your Holy Origin Sect people are deliberately preventing Su Chen from coming out!" Lu Hai was furious and directly attacked Feng Bai and the others.

Seeing this, Wu Mo's eyes turned cold, and he roared, "Lu Hai, I've let you off the hook time and time again, but you've gone too far! Do you really think the Holy Yuan Sect is easy to bully? Since you dare to make a move, then let me experience your strength and see if you've improved at all over the years!" (End of Chapter)
