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

Just as Elder Pang had said, the soul lamp flickered unpredictably, as if blinking mysteriously in the darkness.

"Young friend Ye, this is the young palace master's soul lamp."

Alas, if what you say is true, Wuliang Palace is now truly in a desperate situation, caught between a rock and a hard place.

Elder Pang recalled the terrifying appearance of the female elder after she was controlled by the Soul Lamp, and his scalp tingled, a chill running down his spine.

Ye Yunong stared intently at the soul lamp, her expression solemn.

"This is just the beginning; so far, only one elder has been affected."

In the future, it is likely that more people will be controlled by the Soul Lamp.

If the situation gets out of control, the entire Immortal Realm will descend into chaos.

Her voice was low and her words were full of worry.

Because in another world, a similar disaster had already occurred, she knew all too well the terrible consequences if things worsened.

At this moment, not only Elder Pang and Wuliang Palace felt helpless, but Ye Yunong also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

She placed her hopes of breaking the control method of the Soul Lamp on Elder Pang.

However, this hope was soon dashed.

Elder Pang looked helpless and explained with a wry smile,

"Young friend Ye, this time it was absolutely not my intention to hide anything."

The method of making the Soul Lamp has always been known only to successive palace masters.

The young palace master only learned of this in advance because the old palace master went to the Nine Hells Demon Cave.

We ordinary elders are truly unaware of this.

"So, only Luo Shuixian knows how to break the control of the Soul Lamp?"

Ye Yunong pressed for an answer. Elder Pang's expression darkened, and he slowly nodded.

Ye Yunong pondered for a moment, then said firmly,

"Therefore, I have no choice but to make a trip to the Nine Hells Demon Cave."

"Absolutely not! Young friend Ye, with your current cultivation level, going to the Nine Hells Demon Cave would be tantamount to courting death."

Besides, with your current physical strength, you're simply not capable of stepping into that dangerous place!

Elder Pang waved his hands anxiously, earnestly trying to dissuade him.

Seeing that Ye Yunong still had some insistence, he then revealed all the secrets of the Nine Hells Demon Cave.

"When you asked me about how to get to the Demon Cave, I didn't tell you the truth. Firstly, I was worried that you would take risks rashly, and secondly, the Nine Hells Demon Cave is located at the junction of heaven and earth, and only powerful people at the Earth Immortal level are qualified to go there."

The entrance to the Demon Cave may only appear when a hurricane rages.

To enter, one must withstand the terrifying power of the time-space hurricane.

Look at all the Earth Immortals in our Boundless Palace; apart from the Young Palace Master who was willing to risk his life to save his mother, none of the others dared to set foot there.

As he spoke, Elder Pang's gaze swept over Ye Yunong's slender figure, filled with worry.

In his view, with Ye Yunong's strength, let alone entering the Demon Cave, she would probably be torn to pieces by the spacetime hurricane before she even got close.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yunong's heart sank.

Is there really no way to find Luo Shuixian and break the spell of this Soul Lamp?

"What if I could find a way to increase my physical strength?"

Ye Yunong's eyes brightened slightly as she stared intently at Elder Pang, pressing him for answers, her tone still holding a glimmer of hope.

Elder Pang sighed helplessly and slowly shook his head.

"It is theoretically feasible, but we are both cultivators, so we naturally understand that although there are many methods to improve the strength of the physical body, none of them require a long period of time to accumulate and consume a huge amount of resources."

"To raise one's physical strength to the level of an Earth Immortal, capable of withstanding spacetime hurricanes, in a short period of time..."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes were full of denial, as if to say that this was nothing short of a pipe dream.

Ye Yunong lowered her eyes, suppressing the resentment surging within them, and bowed respectfully to Elder Pang.

"Thank you for your explanation, Elder Pang."

Ye Yunong stepped out of the Wuliang Palace gate, and twilight enveloped the surrounding area like a veil.

Dragon Armor and Phoenix, who had been waiting outside, immediately stepped forward. Dragon Armor's imposing figure strode to their side in a few steps, his anxiety barely concealed.

"Boss, have you found a way to save them?"

"I must go to the Nine Hells Demon Cave."

Ye Yunong pondered for a moment.

Elder Pang's warning still echoed in her ears, but when she thought of her parents being shrouded in the shadow of the Soul Lamp and Xuanji's near-death state, her heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, and she could hardly breathe from the pain.

Only by finding Luo Shuixian can the source of this disaster be cut off.

"Boss, I'll go with you!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Yunong raised her hand to stop his impulsive act.

"You guard the Immortal Realm well."

She knew all too well the dangers of the Demon Cave; if Long Jia went, it would only mean another death.

"The female boss! Before she left, she gave me countless instructions..."

But then Ye Yunong lightly touched the ground with her toes and landed on the phoenix's back, as graceful as a butterfly.

The divine bird let out a long cry, its wings spreading out to cover half the sky. After the dragon armor chased after it for a few steps, only a dark red afterimage remained on the horizon.

He gazed at the empty sky, stamping his feet and letting out a long sigh as he poured out his unspoken worries.

Ye Yunong rode steadily on the broad back of the phoenix, but the howling wind seemed to be tearing her apart.

Her clothes billowed in the wind, and her hair flew wildly in the wind, like black ribbons swaying freely.

The phoenix, this divine bird, radiates intense light and has dazzlingly bright feathers. Yet, it is struggling to move forward in this hurricane that feels like a knife cutting through the ground. Several times, it is blown about and its body sways precariously.

Ye Yunong gently patted Phoenix's head with tenderness, her eyes full of comfort, and said softly,

"Hang in there, we can do it."

Her voice was instantly drowned out by the gale, but the phoenix seemed to sense her feelings and flapped its wings with all its might.

After an unknown amount of time, the once somewhat bright sky suddenly turned pitch black, as if someone had splashed thick ink on it.

Ye Yunong's expression instantly turned serious, her eyes fixed on her surroundings, not daring to relax in the slightest.

She clearly remembered what Elder Pang had said: the spacetime hurricane was likely about to appear, and the mysterious and dangerous Nine Hells Demon Cave would only open its entrance when the spacetime hurricane appeared.

Just when she thought she would have to wait a while longer, suddenly, a strong wind arose, as if a ferocious beast was roaring wildly, the sound deafening.

Before Ye Yunong could react, she and Phoenix were swept into the raging hurricane.

In that chaotic moment, Ye Yunong's ears were filled with the howling wind and the painful cries of the phoenix.

She tried desperately to grab the phoenix's feathers with both hands, but the powerful force still pulled her away from the phoenix's back.

She felt everything go black before her eyes, and soon lost consciousness...

The instant Ye Yunong lost consciousness, her body was thrown downwards by a merciless force, like a light, floating leaf.

At this moment, a strange black hole suddenly appeared in the originally dark and oppressive sky.

The edge of the black hole shimmered with a cold, dark light, like the gaping maw of a beast, slowly opening as if to devour everything around it.

Almost at the same moment, a fierce wind arose inside the Nine Hells Demon Cave.

The wind was far more fierce than a steel blade, carrying a chilling howl that instantly filled the entire demon's lair.

The Nine Hells Demon Cave is vast and boundless, covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles.

It is said that in its deepest, most profound depths, a terrifying demon from ancient times is imprisoned.

No one has ever truly seen the true face of this Heavenly Demon. Countless Earth Immortals have rushed to enter the Demon Cave, hoping to slay this terrifying Heavenly Demon.

According to legend, once it is successfully killed, one can obtain the true divine power left behind by the ancient creator god.

However, throughout history, countless attempts have failed, and no one has succeeded.

Moreover, over the years, the Nine Hells Demon Cave has become a breeding ground for evil, giving birth to countless demonic species of all sizes, making the place increasingly dangerous and terrifying.

"Are you even listening to me?"

Why are you so wooden?

The entrance to the demon's lair has opened; we must seize this opportunity to leave.

A slightly angry voice sounded somewhat shrill amidst the howling wind.

The woman's eyebrows furrowed, and she glared angrily at the man who was meditating in front of her.

The man was incredibly handsome, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and slightly upturned lips. His features were so beautiful that even the most exquisite words in the world would not be an exaggeration to describe his appearance.

Standing in front of the man was a woman.

The woman had a graceful figure and a very attractive face. Her large, bright eyes were full of life, and she wore a light pink dress that fluttered gently in the wind.

Luo Shuixian was so angry she jumped up and down, her face turning bright red.

"Long Jiuqing! Are you even listening to me?"

She stomped her feet hard, kicking up the pebbles on the ground.

But the man sitting cross-legged on the rock seemed not to hear, his eyes still closed and motionless, his long black hair cascading over his shoulders, obscuring half of his handsome face.

No one has ever dared to ignore her like this before.

As the most precious young master of Wuliang Palace, everyone used to revolve around her. But this man, ever since he saved her, has become a completely different person.

A few days ago, Luo Shuixian finally managed to find out news of her mother. Just as she was heading deeper into the Demon Cave, she was surrounded by a group of demons.

At the critical moment, Long Jiuqing suddenly appeared and wiped out all the demon seeds with a flash of sword light.

She was injured and unable to walk, so she could only follow her savior.

Unexpectedly, this person only knew how to meditate and cultivate all day long. No matter how she said that she was the young palace master, the other party didn't even raise his head.

Aside from closing his eyes and practicing his internal energy every day, he never said a word to her, acting like a block of wood who only knew how to cultivate.

Luo Shuixian was panting heavily with anger, about to hurl another few more curses, when she saw Long Jiuqing suddenly open his eyes.

Those eyes, which were usually cold and aloof, suddenly became incredibly gentle.

He suddenly stood up from the rock, his movement so fast it created a gust of wind, almost knocking Luo Shuixian away.

"Dense clouds?"

Long Jiuqing muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the distance.

Just now, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura, the aura of his demon core.

But when he tried to look more closely, the scent vanished as quickly as if he were in a dream.

He subconsciously touched his chest, his mind a jumble of thoughts, and he couldn't help but wonder if he was hallucinating because he missed Ye Yunong so much.

"You just said the entrance to the Demon Cave has opened?"

Long Jiuqing suddenly turned his head, staring intently at Luo Shuixian, as if he had just noticed her presence.

Luo Shuixian was startled by his sudden gaze, her heart skipped a beat. This man was handsome enough with his cold face on ordinary days, but now his eyes were filled with a bit of urgency, which made her feel dizzy.

She quickly cleared her throat, straightened her back, and said...

"Good, the entrance is open now. You've finally decided to speak? Are you planning to come out with me?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at the faint crack in the sky. The demonic seed had been causing a lot of trouble in the Demon Cave lately, and she really wasn't confident she could hold on by herself. Besides, the spacetime hurricane only blows once every ten days, and if she missed this one, she would have to endure another ten days.

Long Jiuqing stood up, his black robes fluttering in the wind.

Luo Shuixian then noticed the still-wet bloodstains on his clothes, and remembered that he had been killing demons these past few days, and his cultivation had improved extremely quickly.

Luo Shuixian hurriedly followed, muttering to herself, "It's too late, the entrance will have to close again."

Before he could finish speaking, the entrance to the Demon Cave indeed disappeared.

Long Jiuqing quickly regained her cold expression and quickened her pace to walk back.

Watching his retreating figure, Luo Shuixian suddenly felt that this man harbored too many stories. She shook her head, dismissing her wandering thoughts, and jogged after him.

"Hey, slow down!"

It's not safe for me to be alone, so why don't we share a room...?

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Yunong felt something wet on her face, as if something was touching her.

She struggled to open her heavy eyes, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she swallowed a mouthful of bitter water.

Only then did she realize that she was in a vast ocean. Excruciating pain coursed through her entire body, as if every inch of her skin was being torn apart. Looking down, she saw her skin covered in gruesome wounds, and several bones were broken. The pain made her gasp involuntarily.

Fortunately, the demon core within Ye Yunong's body possessed extremely strong regenerative power. Soft rays of light emanated from her body, continuously repairing her damaged form. Otherwise, under the frenzied tearing of the time-space hurricane, she might have already been reduced to fragments.

Ye Yunong was mercilessly swept to the riverbank by the waves. She struggled to lift her head and looked around, only to find the surroundings strangely familiar. A flicker of surprise crossed her eyes as she murmured to herself, "Isn't this Yunling?" Gazing at the familiar scenery before her, a complex mix of emotions welled up within her. Once, she had led her disciples across Yunling on their journey to Longdu. Unexpectedly, she had returned.

"I'm back again? I'm afraid a time hurricane swept me back to my original world."

Ye Yunong scrambled up the riverbank, digging her fingertips into the moss-covered mud, while salty river water dripped down her chin.

She wiped her face, and the moment she looked up, her pupils suddenly contracted. Before her eyes, the riverbanks were littered with corpses lying haphazardly.

The congealed blood between the severed limbs and severed arms meandered into streams, turning the river water a shocking dark red.

"The Ten Thousand Demons Sect?"

Ye Yunong staggered forward half a step, her boot crushing a hairy demon ear.

The symbol of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect was right in the pile of corpses.

Further away, a cultivator's corpse clutched a broken sword.

Ye Yunong's throat tightened, and she suddenly thought of her good friend Xuanji...

Ye Yunong clenched her fists. She had only been gone for half a month, and this place had turned into a battlefield.
