Evil Master and Disciple

The underground world is nothing but darkness.

The underground creatures that were occasionally encountered, whether they were water pythons in the water or earth spirit beasts clinging to the rock walls, were immediately frightened and fled in panic under the shock of Su Xiaoli's terrifying demonic power.

Of course, in addition to those monsters with strange shapes and ferocious looks, there are many bizarre creatures in this underground world.

This world is so wonderful. No matter how dangerous the living environment is, life can always find its way out.

In this underground world that never sees the sun, the diversity of species is astonishing.

There are swarms of spiritual moths emitting faint light, unknown beetles that flash like fireflies, transparent fish, and exotic flowers and plants unique to the darkness.

This underground world seems to be no less wonderful than the surface world.

The long fleet of bamboo rafts kept changing direction in the spider-web-like maze of the underground world.

Fortunately, there was Sanzhier, the local badger, otherwise Ye Feng and others would not be able to get out of this dense underground water network even if they spent a hundred years.

The journey was quite boring.

Ye Feng did not lie in Shen Tianqi's warm and comfortable arms and sleep. Shortly after leaving the Baiwu tribe's altar, Ye Feng continued to sit cross-legged in meditation, practicing the Hundred Refinements of Soul and restoring his severely damaged soul power.

In the dark world, you can't see the sunrise or sunset, nor can you see the stars change.

Everyone can only judge the passage of time by feeling.

Of course this does not include Ye Feng.

He has been meditating and practicing to restore his spiritual power.

While meditating, it is difficult to feel the changes of time outside.

When Ye Feng's spiritual power had fully recovered, this unforgettable adventure came to an end.

When he woke up, Shen Tianqi told him that Yun Shuang'er had contacted her several times using the Lingyin Mirror.

Ye Feng asked, "What time is it outside now? Has anything happened? Is Liu Yinshui's progress going smoothly?"

Shen Tianqi said, "Well, Shuang'er said that Qi Yao went back yesterday and told them that she had found a location. It's at the foot of a mountain about 20 miles west of the meeting point we agreed on in advance. It's a very secret cave. Liu Yinshui has already started setting up an illusion array near the cave to hide the entrance.

As for the time now, it should be September 23rd, the competition from top five to top three.

Tomorrow is the final day of this competition, the first place competition."

Ye Feng nodded and said, "Time flies so fast. Four days have passed without me noticing. We should be getting out of this damn place soon."

Shen Tianqi asked, "Do you regret it?"

"Regret? Regret for what?"

"Based on your performance in the previous rounds, you could definitely advance to a few more rounds, or even win first place. You gave up so easily. Don't you regret it?"

Ye Feng grinned and said, "What's there to regret? A person should be content with what they know. As the saying goes, only when you are content can you be happy.

I'm not a competitive person, I think this is good enough. If I can make it into the top ten and go to Lingshan next year, I'll be satisfied."

Su Xiaoli, who was sitting on the bamboo raft in front, smiled and said, "You are quite carefree. If I had been as carefree as you when I was young, I wouldn't have ended up a lonely woman."

Ye Feng said, "Sister Fairy, I'm not being carefree. I'm being self-aware. I'm only sixteen, and I've already made a name for myself in this competition. If I were to win first place, I'd probably die young!"

Su Xiaoli smiled and nodded, saying, "That's true. Too much wisdom can lead to premature death. One should not be too prominent. Being number one in the world is too tiring. Being number two is more comfortable and relaxed."

"Sister Fairy, please ask Sanzhier how long it will take us to get out."

"At this rate, we should still have more than half a day. We've already entered the outskirts of the Tianyun Mountain underground water network. The terrain here is no longer as complex as before. The underground river is also wider, and the water flows smoothly. You must be tired these past few days, so take a rest."

September 23rd.

night.

Today, the top three places have been decided, namely Yun Shuang'er, Hong Jiu and Yue Yinling.

Tomorrow the first place will be decided among these three people.

Among them, Yun Shuang'er's victory was the most popular, and most people believed that Yun Shuang'er could win the first place in this year's young disciples' battle.

The top three elite disciples have also come out.

They are Tu Qianchi, Jin He, and Yun Yiyu.

The support for Tu Qianchi and Jin He was almost evenly split, while almost no one was optimistic about Yun Yiyun.

Late at night, in Master Yun Yi’s study.

The shadow leader Futu is reporting to Master Yun Yi about what happened today.

There are three main things.

The first thing is that four earth spirit beasts were discovered in the Tianyun Mountains at the same time today, and they have all been killed.

The second thing is that today Fu Jinghong's men forcibly broke through the barrier on the giant tree and entered the tree hole.

The third thing is that the identities of the dozens of people who attacked Tu Qianchi three nights ago have been found out.

Master Yun Yi said, "The world below the tree hole should be deserted, right?"

Fu Tu nodded and said, "Master, you have a keen eye. Yes, the shadow sneaked in secretly. There is no trace of living people in the world under the tree hole. However, deep down, under an abyss, there are piles of women's corpses."

Master Yun Yi frowned slightly and said, "Did Ye Feng and the others fail?"

"No, their operation must have been successful. Although there are many bodies of women, they are from different periods of time, not many recent ones."

"Oh, it seems that place has existed for quite some time."

"Judging from the remains of those women, they've been there for at least ten years."

"Ten years? What has Shadow been doing all these years?"

Master Yun Yi seemed a little annoyed.

As the head of Yunhai Sect, he was unable to grasp all the situations of Yunhai Sect, which made him very dissatisfied.

The Buddha lowered his head and dared not say anything more.

After Yun Yi calmed down his anger, he asked, "Who were the people who attacked Tu Qianchi three days ago?"

Fu Tu said, "Reporting to the headmaster, according to Shadow's secret investigation over the past few days, the clues point to the disciples of the Jade Maiden Sect."

"Jade Maiden Sect?"

Yun Yi's expression froze, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He could tolerate this group of people stealing the spiritual energy from the earth's veins, and he could also tolerate this group of people taking yin to replenish yang and using the girl's body as a furnace.

But he absolutely could not tolerate this group of people colluding with foreign missions.

This is an act of disrespecting one's teachers and ancestors.

What all righteous sects value most is respecting teachers and honoring virtues. The first rule of the Yunhai Sect is that anyone who bullies his teacher and destroys his ancestors will be put to death.

Compared with colluding with the Jade Maiden Sect, everything else this group of people did is simply not worth mentioning.

"What a courage!"

Master Yun Yi slammed the table in front of him.

The air temperature in the entire study dropped by dozens of degrees in an instant.

Futu knew that this had touched Master Yun Yi's sore spot.

He said, "Master, please calm down. It's just that the clues point to a disciple of the Jade Maiden Sect, but we can't confirm it yet."

Master Yun Yi looked at him coldly and said, "How sure are you that he is a disciple of the Jade Maiden Sect?"

The Buddha seemed to be choosing his words carefully.

After a moment, he said, "Based on the clues we have, we're about 70% to 80% sure. Those people were masked that night, so I couldn't see their faces clearly."

Master Yun Yi said coldly, "Seventy to eighty percent is already very high."

Fu Tu said, "It's very high. The duel will end tomorrow, Master. What should we do next? They should have known something must have happened in Giant Tree Valley. I'm worried that these people will... become desperate and flee en masse."

Master Yun Yi shook his head slightly and said, "They don't have the courage to do anything desperate, but a collective escape is possible. How many names do we have on their list now?"

"Less than thirty people."

"The list in Ye Feng's hand is very important. Hasn't he returned to the mountain yet?"

"No. They walked underground and could only come out from the spiritual vein connection point. The place where they came out must be in the Tianyun Mountains. Do you want me to send someone to investigate? It would be difficult for hundreds of mortal women to hide in the mountains."

"No need. I promised Lao Liu that I would let Ye Feng handle this matter first. I will not take action against those girls for the time being. Send someone to continue to monitor all the elders until all the outbound disciples have left."
