I am a swordsman in a strange city

Chapter 129 Huangxian Mansion

The Huang family knew the moment Pei Ju entered the Netherworld with the document to communicate with the spirits.

Because the document communicating with the underworld was originally issued by the beings in the Five Immortals Cave at their request, and as soon as the document entered the Netherworld Cave, the Yellow Immortal in the Five Immortals Cave notified them.

When they heard the news, they were very surprised, but they were quickly enraged, because at that moment they realized that Yu Daoren's visit to them was not for negotiation, but a veiled threat.

If she really wants to reconcile, then she should follow the rules and first find a mediator to explain to the Huang family that she needs to go to the Five Immortals Cave.

And it should be clearly stated that it is a visit.

Now, the Taoist Yu, along with Pei Ju, silently headed straight for the Five Immortals Cave. They weren't there to settle old scores, but to break into the cave and dig up the Huang family's roots.

Moreover, Huang Xian from the Huang family also said in his message that he sensed danger approaching.

So the Huang family members rushed into the Five Immortals Cave, led by the Huang family elders, totaling more than ten people, including Huang Di's son.

Pei Ju walked on, moving forward, the map he had seen appearing in his mind, making choices time and time again, avoiding danger time and time again.

He felt cold, as if he were walking deep underground, and he had a hard time breathing.

However, I stood there with my eyes closed.

This feeling is terrible, like the darkness is a quagmire and I'm sinking deeper and deeper, like I'm under some kind of spell.

He suddenly drew his sword, its light piercing the darkness like a streak of silver.

The suffocating feeling vanished instantly, and everything returned to normal.

Keep going.

Suddenly, he saw something standing there in front of him.

The reason he didn't say it was a person was because at first glance it didn't look like a person. Although it looked like a person, his intuition told him that it wasn't.

As he got closer, he could see clearly that it was a 'person' with a hairy face, a hunched back, and clothes on its body, but no shoes on its feet, and its paws looked like rat paws.

Wearing a small yellow hat, it looked at Pei Ju and asked, "Where did the swordsman come from?"

The rat-man actually spoke.

“It came from Haishi,” Pei Ju said.

"Is it Qingdai Tower?" the rat-man continued to ask.

"Yes," Pei Ju replied once again.

"Where do you wish to go?" the rat-man asked once more.

Its way of speaking is quite like that of the ancients.

"Five Immortals Cave." Pei Ju didn't try to hide anything.

"There are five immortals in the Five Immortals Cave. Which immortal do you wish to pay your respects to?" the rat-man asked once again.

Its eyes glow in the dark, giving off an eerie feeling.

Pei Ju took a few steps forward, but the other person retreated.

“This isn’t a visit; it’s a prelude to a feud,” Pei Ju said.

"What grudge?" the rat-man asked.

“A feud involving family, elders, and life and death,” Pei Ju said coldly.

"Who and who?" the rat-man asked again.

"Do you still remember the Pei family of Qingyi Lane, Shentu Community, Haishi?" Pei Ju had barely finished speaking.

The other person didn't seem particularly surprised, as if he had just confirmed something. He then slowly backed away and said, "So many people have tried to enter the Five Immortals Cave, but countless people have perished here. You will be no exception."

Pei Ju ignored him; he never enjoyed verbal disputes. He continued forward, heading in the direction the rat-man had retreated. Before long, he discovered that the cave walls on both sides were full of small holes, each seemingly inhabited by a weasel.

When he looked closely, there was nothing in those small holes. However, when he looked closely, he could see weasels peeking out from those small holes, and some of them were making chirping noises.

The chirping sounds merged into one, suddenly surging in like a torrent. In his perception, countless weasels appeared, approaching him step by step.

At this moment, he felt a sudden inability to concentrate, and a sense of panic rose in his heart.

He stood there without moving, looking deeper into the distance, where it seemed as if someone was standing, but no matter how hard he tried to concentrate, he couldn't make out who it was.

As a swordsman, what I dislike most is this kind of group attack, because it is difficult for a single person with only a sword to deal with so many small things.

Swordsmen love nothing more than one-on-one duels.

However, he felt that this was not true, or rather, even if there were countless weasels, it could be broken.

So he turned sideways, straddled the stance, landed on the post, sword in his left hand, and with his right hand gripping the hilt, he drew the sword.

The Demon-Slaying Sword-Drawing Style.

A sword light flashed across the darkness, as if slicing through the entire darkness.

The sound of the sword also cut off the cries of the weasels.

The weasel in his mind's eye actually disappeared at that moment.

But his sword didn't stop at all; it suddenly retracted and then thrust out again.

A lunge and thrust.

The sword seemed to pierce through more than ten meters. In the darkness, a bullet-shaped ball of light could be seen, piercing the darkness. However, the figure that had just been standing there had vanished.

Everything disappeared. He looked around and found that there was only an empty space. Then he looked up and saw a few words written in yellow on the cave wall above him: "Huang Xian Fu".

Suddenly, someone crawled out of the darkness. This person lay on the ground and slowly appeared. His long hair trailed on the ground, making him look like a wild beast or a strange person.

The moment she appeared, Pei Ju actually saw her eyes.

Those were cold, cruel eyes, and in that instant, a vision surged in Pei Ju's eyes.

He suddenly felt hair growing all over his body, and the hair grew wildly, so much so that he couldn't tell if it was real or not.

Suddenly, my body felt heavy, and I couldn't move my feet at all.

An invisible weight pressed down, almost penetrating every crevice, and the sword in his hand suddenly became very heavy, so heavy that he couldn't lift it.

Suddenly, the hair on his body seemed to come alive, becoming eerily enveloping him.

His body was instantly paralyzed.

His consciousness sank deeper, and his sword intent began to shrink, but at this moment, he heard a voice in his ear saying, "Don't move yet."

Pei Ju recognized her voice as that of his senior sister, who had been by his side the whole time.

Just then, a laugh echoed from the darkness, a laugh that sounded both human and beast.

The voice said, "A mere swordsman dares to trespass into the Five Immortals Cave; he truly doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

The voice was neither male nor female, but came from the darkness. It was a person dressed in a yellow robe, with a huge and conspicuous rat head. The yellow robe trailed on the ground, and the person wore a tall crown, making them look like a mythical creature.

The instant he appeared, a brilliant golden light suddenly appeared in the darkness, as if sunlight had suddenly appeared there.

"what……"

In just a moment, the light dispelled the darkness.

And those beings in the darkness screamed in agony.
