The Black Lotus Reborn: The Entire Sect Kneels and Begs for My Forgiveness

Not long ago, Ye Yunong used a sky lantern to send a message to her father, Emperor Tianlong, informing him that she was in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor's expression tightened, and he hurriedly instructed her to be careful and always pay attention to her safety.

He also stated that he would work with the new Emperor of Annihilation to thoroughly investigate all teleportation arrays to prevent potential crises.

Immediately afterwards, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor mentioned something, his tone full of solemnity.

"Yun Nong, if you are to act in the Earthly Immortal Realm, you must keep an eye on the whereabouts of Tianlong Jiushi."

Ye Yunong had long heard of the Ninth Generation of the Heavenly Dragon. This ancestor was arguably the most outstanding cultivator in the history of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, unmatched by anyone.

Back then, Tianlong Jiushi, with his unparalleled talent, suppressed the Demon God under the Cloud City. Soon after, he successfully ascended to the Earth Immortal realm, becoming the only powerhouse in the Tianlong Dynasty to receive this honor.

In the first few years, Tianlong IX and the Tianlong Dynasty still corresponded, but after about twenty years, they suddenly lost contact.

It was from that time that the Holy Dynasty of Annihilation rose rapidly, and the political landscape changed dramatically.

The Heavenly Dragon Emperor's voice carried a hint of solemnity and contemplation: "Regarding the disappearance of the Nine Heavenly Dragons, I have always suspected that it is inextricably linked to the Ancestor of Annihilation."

Not long ago, I inquired with the new emperor and carefully reviewed the relevant records of the Holy Ancestor of the Holy Dynasty, but I found nothing and no trace of anything related to the Ninth Generation of the Heavenly Dragon.

All I remember is that the ancient records of the Tianlong Dynasty state that the last place Tianlong Jiushi went to was called the Nine Hells Demon Cave.

That was an extremely dangerous cultivation ground in the Immortal Realm. Many powerful individuals flocked there, but many others never returned, facing death almost every time they went.

If you can find out any information about the Nine Hells Demon Cave, then do your best.

If we could find traces of the Ninth Generation, that would be the best outcome.

If you cannot, do not act recklessly; your safety must be the top priority.

The Heavenly Dragon Emperor's words of advice still echoed in Ye Yunong's ears.

She hadn't taken the matter seriously before, but on a whim, she mentioned it, and unexpectedly, she actually guessed the key to it.

Elder Pang returned, his turbid gaze fixed on Ye Yunong like that of a hawk.

"Little girl, you still haven't told me how you knew about this?"

Doubts churned in his mind. The secret of the old palace master's disappearance had been sealed for many years, and Wuliang Palace had kept it completely secret. Even most of the earth immortals in the palace might not know about it. Yet this girl had hit the nail on the head.

Ye Yunong lowered her eyes to conceal her thoughts, then suddenly looked up.

"To be honest, my ancestor disappeared after going to the Nine Hells Demon Cave."

A few days ago, she appeared to me in a dream and mentioned the Wuliang Palace.

Ye Yunong silently apologized to Tianlong Jiushi in her heart, but her face remained perfectly sincere.

Elder Pang's brows twitched violently as he looked her up and down at her slender figure. No wonder this girl with such low cultivation could venture into the Earthly Immortal Realm; she must have a powerful backer.

Who was your ancestor?

"Nine Incarnations of Tianlong, Ye Guxue."

Ye Yunong's words were clear and legible.

"You really are her descendant!"

Elder Pang paused, stroking his beard, and a half-sigh escaped his throat.

"Does the elder recognize my ancestors?"

Ye Yunong's pupils contracted slightly. She had originally thought that the ancestor's prestige was limited to the Tianlong Dynasty, but she did not expect it to cause such a stir in the Wuliang Palace as well.

"Ye Guxue is the number one rogue cultivator in the Earthly Immortal Realm."

Elder Pang coughed twice, as if to shake off the dust of the past.

"Back then, Wuliang Palace visited her three times to seek her out, and now they are inviting her to join us as an elder."

She, on the contrary, broke the betrothal letter in front of the palace master.

Since then, Wuliang Palace has had no further contact with her.

He gazed at the brow bone of Ye Yunong, which bore a striking resemblance to Ye Guxue's, and vaguely recalled the image of the white-clad woman standing with her sword on her back. Everyone in the Earthly Immortal Realm said that Ye Guxue's cultivation techniques were strange and unpredictable, but they did not know that even her temperament was like ice, untouchable and unapproachable.

Ye Yunong felt a surge of respect, thinking to herself that her ancestor truly possessed an unyielding spirit.

Based on this very temperament, she became even more determined to find the person.

Elder Pang's brows relaxed slightly, but his tone remained scrutinizing.

"Since you are a descendant of Ye Guxue, why do you dare to trespass into my Wuliang Palace?"

"I have something very important to tell you."

Ye Yunong collected her thoughts and truthfully recounted the news of the disappearance of the Holy Ancestor of Annihilation and the people of Annihilation Immortal Island.

Upon hearing this, Elder Pang's gaunt face broke into a cold smile, and a glint of cold light seemed to flash in his cloudy eyes.

"When the old palace master disappeared, the Holy Ancestor of Annihilation made many unusual moves."

Now they have broken their own wings.

Are you aware that if these words were false, they could stir up a storm in the Immortal Realm?

Elder Pang's expression was extremely solemn. He frowned and stared intently at Ye Yunong.

What Ye Yunong just said was too bizarre; it was merely hearsay and there was no solid evidence.

As one of the current leaders of Wuliang Palace, he absolutely cannot easily make public statements based on just a few unfounded words.

"Elder Pang, I understand that this matter is of great importance and no small matter, which is why I mustered up the courage to come and inform you."

Ye Yunong did not back down at all. She met Elder Pang's sharp gaze and tone with firmness and composure, without the slightest fear.

Elder Pang narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully examining the young woman before him. He thought to himself, "This girl is so young, yet she has such courage. She is somewhat like her formidable ancestor."

After a moment of silence, he finally spoke.

"This matter is no child's play. If we make a rash announcement without concrete evidence, it may cause trouble."

Do you have any other clues?

Ye Yunong shook her head helplessly, and Elder Pang let out a sigh.

"Young friend Ye, this is a matter of great importance..."

The words were cut off before they could be finished.

"I see."

Ye Yunong nodded.

"However, Elder Pang may wish to keep an eye out for anyone who has gone missing in the palace recently. If no one makes any unusual moves within three days, I will personally visit to apologize."

However, if anyone goes missing, I urge Elder Pang to trust my words and inform the world of this matter.

Elder Pang greatly appreciated Ye Yunong's frankness.

Elder Pang agreed, but then the young woman suddenly stepped forward, "There's one more thing I'd like to ask. How should I approach the Nine Hells Demon Cave...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the temperature inside the barrier plummeted.

Elder Pang's previously smiling, chubby face instantly tightened.

"Why are you asking about that godforsaken place?!"

Ye Yunong smiled faintly, her eyes firm and resolute, and spoke.

"This junior does indeed intend to go to the Nine Hells Demon Cave to find out what's going on. I am determined to find the whereabouts of my ancestor."

She lowered her eyes slightly, a hint of helplessness in her heart. After the phoenix had experienced a transmigration, its divine power was greatly depleted. If it wanted to transmigrate again, it would need to recuperate for at least another month.

Moreover, the threat from the emperor's side has not yet been eliminated, and she cannot leave the Earthly Immortal Realm in the short term. After much thought, she decided to explore the Nine Hells Demon Cave.

Elder Pang frowned deeply, his face full of worry. He looked at Ye Yunong and said earnestly, "The Nine Hells Demon Cave is extremely dangerous. Many Earth Immortal experts have gone in but never returned. You must not take the risk lightly."

Ye Yunong clasped his hands in a fist salute, his expression respectful yet resolute: "I appreciate Elder Pang's kindness, but my ancestor is of great significance to me. No matter how great the danger, I am willing to give it a try. I hope Elder Pang can tell me the path to the Nine Hells Demon Cave."

After saying that, she looked earnestly at Elder Pang, waiting for his response.
