Chapter 74 The Cave Opens with Dripping Blood, Incense is Offered to the Stone Statue

Biyao looked at Zhang Xiaofan holding Youji and stood to the side, a smug look in her eyes. She glanced at Lu Xueqi, while Lu Xueqi lowered her eyes and a look of worry flashed in them.

Seeing Lu Xueqi like this, Biyao couldn't help but show a look of pleasure on her face, and then she turned her gaze to the stone wall at the end of the passage.

A curtain of water cascaded down from the cave ceiling, landing on the stone wall below. The water splashed everywhere, sparkling and beautiful under the soft light illuminating the surrounding stone walls, before finally settling into a small pool below.

Such beautiful scenery would normally be something Biyao wouldn't mind appreciating, but now, seeing that there was no way forward, Biyao couldn't help but feel embarrassed and annoyed.

"Damn it, could it be that we've come to the wrong place?"

Lu Xueqi, on the other hand, carefully examined the stone wall in front of her, and soon her gaze fell on the seven palm-sized red stones on the cave ceiling.

As the water dripped from the seven red stones, the color of the stones made it look like drops of blood.

Upon seeing this extraordinary sight, Lu Xueqi suddenly understood, her eyes filled with surprise, and she murmured.

"The Dripping Blood Cave, the Dripping Blood Cave... So this is the Dripping Blood Cave?"

Biyao glanced at Lu Xueqi with a puzzled look, then followed her gaze and looked up. She saw that the seven red stones were crooked and looked like a strange spoon shape.

Seeing the water dripping from the blood-red stone, Biyao was overjoyed and exclaimed with delight.

"So this is the Dripping Blood Cave. That damned, heartless old devil, he actually hid it so well!"

As she spoke, Biyao couldn't help but glance at Lu Xueqi, secretly marveling at how clever Lu Xueqi was, able to find this place.

"Now that we've found this Blood-Dripping Hole, please open it, Fairy Lu."

Biyao stood with her hands behind her back, smiling as she stared at Lu Xueqi. The Heartbreaking Flower in her hand quietly appeared, indicating that she was ready to seize the treasure as soon as the Blood-Dripping Cave opened.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xueqi's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but turn to look at Zhang Xiaofan beside her. She didn't know how to open the Blood Pit, so she could only ask Zhang Xiaofan, who had arrived earlier, for help.

When Youji saw Lu Xueqi's gaze, she wasn't surprised. She even suspected that Zhang Xiaofan was the successor of the Black-Hearted Old Ghost, and that the Hehuan Sect knew very little about him.

"Miss Youji, I'll have to trouble you to help me up."

After Zhang Xiaofan finished speaking, he saw You Ji obediently leaning against him and carefully helping him to the edge of the pool.

After the two squatted down, Youji glanced at Zhang Xiaofan. She saw that Zhang Xiaofan was staring intently at the pool in front of him, carefully searching for the palm print corresponding to the reflection of the red stone above his head, as well as the protruding stones in the water.

Yu Ji stared at the young man before her with complicated emotions, a variety of thoughts flashing through her mind.

If this guy really is a member of their Holy Church, then he's quite remarkable, even perfect.

After all, most people despise cultivators who will stop at nothing to pursue power and even betray their own sects.

Even within their Holy Church, the situation is similar. Although there is constant infighting and power struggles within the Holy Church, the internal relationships within the sect are generally quite harmonious. Even when there are conflicts, the camaraderie among fellow disciples is taken into consideration.

Before long, Zhang Xiaofan found the mechanism to open the Blood-Dripping Cave in the pool. He then turned to look at You Ji. Opening the mechanism required two hands, and Zhang Xiaofan's right hand was still on You Ji's lower abdomen.

When Youji noticed Zhang Xiaofan's gaze, she was stunned for a moment, then blushed slightly and turned her head towards the pool in front of her.

Perhaps it was because of the red stones above her head that the water surface was tinged with a red glow, but all Youji could see in the water was her reflection, her cheeks were so rosy.

"Miss Youji, give me your right hand!"

Seeing the strange expression on You Ji's face, Zhang Xiaofan didn't pay it any mind. As he spoke, he reached out and took You Ji's hand, carefully placing it into the pool and touching the five protruding stones corresponding to her right palm print. At first, You Ji was a little confused, but soon, after touching the protruding stones, her eyes widened, and she subconsciously turned to look at Zhang Xiaofan.

After placing You Ji's right palm on it, Zhang Xiaofan placed his left hand on the two small stones corresponding to it, turned his head and nodded to You Ji, who nodded in understanding.

The next moment, the two of them pressed down on the seven small stones at the same time.

"Crack!!"

Soon, a piercing and heavy sound rang out in the cave, and Lu Xueqi and Biyao both looked at the stone wall in front of them in surprise.

The stone wall that had previously blended perfectly with the surrounding rock walls, seemingly without any flaws, had now completely receded backward, revealing a new opening.

"The Blood-Dripping Cave!"

A hint of excitement flashed in Biyao's eyes. The Blood-Dripping Cave had been circulating within their Holy Sect for a long time, but no one had ever been able to enter it.

Today, however, she has the opportunity to glimpse the legendary Blood-Dripping Cave and even obtain its treasures.

"Let's go in together."

This time, before Zhang Xiaofan could speak, You Ji took the initiative to say that it was better to take the initiative than to be threatened by others.

Zhang Xiaofan nodded and walked with You Ji towards the passage ahead. The journey was peaceful, and they soon arrived at a large stone chamber.

The stone chamber was circular, and the tunnel ran straight through the middle, extending deeper into the chamber.

Inside the stone chamber, there are two enormous stone sculptures. One stands with a kind and benevolent face and a smiling expression. The robe draped over its body looks as if it is being blown by a gentle breeze, somewhat resembling Guanyin Bodhisattva in Buddhism.

The other statue was completely different, ferocious and menacing, with a black face, demonic horns, eight arms, four heads, and even a trace of blood flowing down its mouth, like a hellish demon, making people shudder.

In front of the two stone sculptures, there is a stone table with an incense burner covered in dust.

"Young Master Zhang, may I offer incense before the throne of the Holy Mother Mingwang? Please rest assured, things will proceed as usual."

You Ji whispered softly. Zhang Xiaofan glanced at her and then withdrew his hand from You Ji's abdomen.

Raising her eyes, Youji gave the so-called Qingyun disciple a deep look. She then took three prayer mats from the side, shook off the dust, and placed them on the ground. They were clearly prepared for her, Biyao, and Lu Xueqi, the three disciples of the Holy Sect.

When Biyao and Lu Xueqi arrived at the stone chamber, Youji had already lit incense and candles and was waiting for them.

Upon seeing Lu Xueqi, Youji spoke.

"Fairy Lu, we are both disciples of the Holy Mother King, shall we offer incense together?"

"Xueqi isn't feeling well, I'll take her place."

Zhang Xiaofan took the initiative to speak, saying that Lu Xueqi definitely wouldn't do such a thing, so he didn't care too much about it.

The fact that a demonic cult is a demonic cult does not mean that the two deities worshipped by a demonic cult are evil gods.

Moreover, the image of the Holy Mother of the Underworld resembles that of the Empress Nuwa, so it can be considered as offering incense to the Empress Nuwa.
