The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!
Chapter 44 The Taoist Priest in the Cave
As the night deepened, the sound of stringed instruments and bamboo instruments filled the ears in the Misty Rain Tower.
Yun Che and Xu Wan were led by two beautiful women to the number one room. The room was decorated very elegantly, with flickering candlelight and a fragrant aroma.
The two women saw Yun Che's extraordinary temperament. Although they were reluctant to leave, they knew that they couldn't force it. They could only respectfully ask them to rest early and quietly leave.
As soon as Xu Wan entered the room, she lay down on the bed without any hesitation and said in a tired voice, "Master, I'm so tired. Let me rest for a while."
Yun Che stood aside, scanning every corner of the room with sharp eyes, as if searching for something.
Just as the master and disciple were each preoccupied with their own thoughts, soft footsteps were heard outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes and with a stunning appearance pushed the door open and walked in. It was Wanyue, the top performer in Yanyu Tower.
She walked lightly with lotus steps to Yun Che, bowed slowly, and said in a soft and moving voice: "I am sorry to have kept you two waiting for so long. I hope you will forgive me for being late."
Yun Che raised his eyes and saw Wan Yue's eyes were deep, as if flowing with autumn water, but within those eyes, there was a subtle and strange aura hidden.
Yun Che’s heart trembled, and he instantly saw through her true form—a fox demon that had cultivated for a thousand years.
He was about to exorcise the demon, but Xu Wan got in the way and stopped him.
"Master, wait a minute," Xu Wan looked at Wanyue with a smile, "This sister's dance is so charming, I want to learn it."
There was a hint of mischief in her words, but they also revealed her insight into Wanyue's identity.
It turned out that although Xu Wan's cultivation was not as high as Yun Che's, she could still sense the demonic energy, but she had other plans in mind.
Upon hearing this, Wan Yue curled up the corners of her mouth into a meaningful smile. She didn't seem surprised that Xu Wan had seen through her plan. Instead, she became even more curious about the origins of this master-disciple pair.
She opened her red lips slightly, her voice becoming even more charming: "Oh? You want to learn my dance? That depends on whether you have the ability."
Seeing this, Yun Che felt doubtful but did not act rashly.
He knew that since this fox demon dared to show up, it must have something to rely on. So he decided to wait and see what Xu Wan had in mind.
Xu Wan looked excited, as if she was really interested in Wanyue's dance.
She took Wanyue's hand and begged, "Sister, please teach me. I promise to learn well."
Wanyue was left in a state of confusion by her coquettish behavior, but she had no choice but to agree.
So, in the room, the two demons actually started discussing the essence of dance.
Yun Che, on the other hand, was observing all this silently from the side, secretly on guard.
Just as the atmosphere was gradually relaxing, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, several masked men in night clothes burst into the room, holding sharp blades and heading straight for Yun Che.
It turned out that these people were minions of a certain force in the capital. After they learned of Yun Che's whereabouts, they wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate him.
Yun Che snorted coldly and dodged the attack with a flash of his body. He swung his sword with a backhand, and the sword light flashed like a dragon, instantly killing those people.
Blood spilled on Wanyue's face and gorgeous clothes.
Wan Yue's face turned pale for a moment, then she smiled apologetically and said, "Young Master is really amazing. He can actually kill the enemy so easily.
But why are these people chasing after you?"
Yun Che looked at the corpse on the ground with cold eyes and said in a deep voice, "I have no grudge against them. I guess someone hired them to kill me."
Wan Yue frowned and said, "It seems that the young master has made many enemies. Why don't you rest here for a while and make plans after dawn."
Yun Che nodded. He knew that it was not advisable to stay here for long and he had to leave as soon as possible.
However, at this moment, there was another noisy sound outside, and it seemed that more people were rushing here.
Yun Che frowned, secretly sighing at his bad luck. Wan Yue, however, smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, sir. I have a way to get you out."
As she spoke, she gently waved her sleeves, and a strange fragrance filled the air. In the blink of an eye, the three of them disappeared from the room.
As night falls, the stars hide behind thick clouds, and the mountain path seems particularly deep and secluded.
Xu Wan tightly grasped her master Yun Che's hand, feeling uneasy.
Behind them are the relentless assassins and unknown dangers, and in front of them is the "refuge" pointed out by Wanyue - a mysterious cave hidden deep in the jungle.
“Master, is this cave really safe?” Xu Wan’s voice trembled slightly. She looked up at Yun Che, her eyes gleaming with a mixture of anticipation and fear.
Yun Che smiled faintly, his eyes revealing calmness and confidence: "Wan'er, Master is here, you don't have to be afraid." His tone was gentle yet firm, as if it could dispel all the haze.
However, Wanyue's smile seemed particularly dazzling in this tranquility.
She is a fox demon with little cultivation experience, and she will do anything to improve her cultivation.
At this moment, she was pretending to lead the way in a friendly manner, but in her heart she was thinking about how to lead the master and disciple into the trap she had carefully set.
"Gentlemen, I discovered this cave by chance. Although it's dark inside, it's a good place to escape from the world."
Wanyue's voice was soft and pleasant, but it could not conceal her inner cunning.
As the three of them stepped into the cave, a chilling air hit them in the face. The cave was dark, with only a few fireflies in the distance barely illuminating the way ahead.
As he went deeper, Xu Wan gradually realized that something was wrong. The air around him seemed to be frozen, so oppressive that it made him feel breathless.
"Master..." she called softly, trying to find some comfort.
Yun Che gently patted the back of her hand, reassuring her. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, having already noticed something unusual in the cave.
But he was not in a hurry to reveal Wanyue's true identity, but wanted to see what her real plan was.
Suddenly, the sound of rapid iron chains broke the silence in the cave.
Xu Wan was shocked to find that the area around her was filled with young men chained with iron chains. They had empty eyes and haggard faces, as if they had lost their souls.
"This...what's going on?" Xu Wan was shocked, but more than that, she felt angry and sympathetic.
Seeing this, Wan Yue curled up the corner of her mouth into a cold smile, and she finally revealed her fox tail: "My lord, do you really think I will bring you here for refuge?
To tell you the truth, these are the prey I have imprisoned for cultivation. And you will become one of them."
Before she finished her words, she flashed and transformed into a streak of red light as she pounced towards Yun Che.
However, how could Yun Che's skills be compared to hers? He waved his hand casually, and an invisible barrier was formed, sending Wan Yue flying several feet away.
“How dare a mere fox demon act so presumptuously in front of me?” Yun Che’s voice was as cold as frost. He was an emperor above the nine heavens. How could a mere little demon do anything to him?
Wanyue fell to the ground, her face as pale as paper. Only then did she realize that she was in big trouble.
But she was not willing to give up. She quickly got up and prepared to attack again.
Seeing this, Xu Wan kicked Wan Yue to the ground. Wan Yue spurted blood and Xu Wan stepped on her back and trampled on her.
Wanyue wanted to get up, but she felt weak all over. She felt her cultivation slowly dissipating...
"Stop!" At this moment, a majestic shout came from the entrance of the cave.
Murong Yu hurried over with a young Taoist priest. The Taoist priest was holding a magic sword, and there was an extraordinary aura between his brows.
"Young Master, please wait!" the Taoist priest shouted. "Although this demon is evil, there is still room for redemption. Please listen to me."
Yun Che was slightly stunned, then stopped what he was doing. He looked at the Taoist priest, a hint of curiosity and vigilance flashing in his eyes.
The Taoist priest slowly walked into the cave, scanning the surroundings with his sharp eyes, which finally fell on Wanyue.
"Do you know your sin? You were once a fox spirit in the mountains, but because of greed, you have harmed countless people. If you do not repent today, you will suffer the punishment of heaven."
Wanyue trembled all over. She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into the Taoist's eyes, but she still felt unwilling in her heart.
"I...I was also forced into a corner..."
"You're being forced into a situation?" The Taoist sneered, "Everything in this world has its cause and effect. You'll have to bear the consequences of the evil you've sown."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it. A golden light shot out from the magic sword, instantly enveloping Wanyue.
In the golden light, Wanyue struggled in pain, her body began to change, gradually revealing her true form - a small fox.
"Master, she..." Xu Wan felt mixed emotions upon seeing this.
Although she hated what Wanyue did, she couldn't help but feel some sympathy when she saw her in so much pain.
Yun Che sighed softly, walked over to Xu Wan, and patted her shoulder.
"Wan'er, remember, good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished. It's not that there is no reward, it's just that the time has not come yet.
What we need to do now is to rescue these innocent people."
As he spoke, he used his magical powers to begin untying the chains on the young men one by one.
As the imprisoned souls regained their freedom, the cave seemed to be filled with vitality and hope.
The little fox was taken into the Taoist priest's sleeve, and trembled in the Taoist priest's sleeve. It knew that it had made a big mistake and didn't know what kind of punishment was waiting for it.
