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

As the half-human, half-beast spoke, its gaze fell upon the Misty Valley ahead.

Ahead, a mist swirled, capable of concealing one's presence and hiding the aura of demonic beasts.

Before setting off, the half-human monster sent a group of low- to mid-level monsters under its command to scout ahead.

Just now, the demon beast underling who went to scout ahead sent it a message saying that it had discovered an artificial cave in this Misty Valley.

"Head towards the cave!"

With a flick of its claw, the half-human beast sent the other beasts behind it rushing into the Misty Valley.

After the monsters had all left, Ye Yunong emerged from the bushes, lost in thought.

"It seems that the immortal's cave has been discovered by the demon beasts."

The good thing is, I don't need to search anymore.

The bad thing is, how can I deal with so many demonic beasts by myself?

She thought that once she had Lu Jinxin in check, seizing the Earth Immortal Cave would be easy, but now it seems that she had underestimated the situation.

The Misty Valley is now home to so many demonic beasts, especially that level six half-human demonic beast, whose strength is extraordinary. Ye Yunong is only at the second level of Foundation Establishment. Even if she uses the Langya Sword, she is no match for so many demonic beasts.

"It seems we have no choice but to outsmart them."

From the few words spoken by the half-human demon beast, Ye Yunong could tell that the beast's fear of Long Jiuqing had penetrated to its very bones. As expected of a demon from all realms, it had quickly become somewhat famous in the demon world.

"Maybe I should ask Long Jiuqing for 'help'."

Ye Yunong stroked her chin, lost in thought...

In the Misty Valley, it was pitch black, and mist was everywhere.

These gray mists suspended in the air are toxic.

This also prevented cultivators from entering; ordinary cultivators would find it impossible to move an inch without an antidote pill.

But for demonic beasts, it's much easier.

Beasts are naturally perceptive, and after entering the Misty Valley, they quickly found a way to survive by relying on some medicinal herbs that grow there.

After entering the Misty Valley, the half-human demon beast swallowed some antidote herbs whole.

One of its underlings, a level four demonic beast, was leading the way.

"The hole, the big hole."

The level four demon beast could speak some basic human language. It led the half-human demon beast to the depths of Misty Valley, where a large cave indeed appeared.

Unlike other parts of Misty Valley, this cave is not surrounded by mist.

At the entrance to the cave, there is a defensive array that has long since lost its spiritual power.

If Ye Yunong were to see this now, she would surely recognize that this defensive formation is quite sophisticated, far more complete than the protective formation of Qinglian Peak.

The half-human, half-beast was quite knowledgeable; as soon as it entered the cave, its eyes emitted a ghostly light.

"This is not a cave, it is a grotto, the grotto of an immortal."

The half-human, half-beast excitedly rubbed its paws together.

It once attacked the cave dwelling of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but that cave dwelling was far too simple compared to this one.

"Once this place is repaired, I can rest easy here, just like the cultivators of the human race."

The half-human beast thought to himself that if he hid in his cave and cultivated for a hundred years, he would be able to fully transform into a human and then he would no longer need to fear Long Jiuqing when he reappeared.

"Go and bring over the spirit stones and spirit pouches."

The half-human, half-beast laughed triumphantly and prepared to repair its cave.

But what responded to it was a disdainful laugh drifting from outside the cave.

"Things that don't know whether to live or die."

"who!"

The half-human, half-beast was greatly alarmed.

Then a female cultivator walked in, carrying a sword in her hand.

The monsters guarding the cave entrance swarmed around the intruder like moths to a flame.

The female cultivator showed no fear. She raised her hand and casually waved the spiritual weapon in her hand a few times.

Several fleeting flashes of sword light appeared.

In an instant, more than a dozen monster heads rolled down.

"Earth-grade spiritual weapon".

The half-human, half-beast was greatly surprised.

When did this female cultivator arrive?

She was so quiet that he didn't even notice her presence.

This suggests that either the other party has a very high level of cultivation, or they possess a powerful spiritual treasure.

Upon seeing the spiritual weapon in her hand, the half-human demon beast instantly made a judgment.

The opponent's strength far surpasses its own, and it also possesses a powerful magical treasure.

The female cultivator before them was none other than Ye Yunong.

The Langya Sword in her hand shimmered with spiritual light, blinding the demonic beasts.

The half-human monster was still struggling internally.

This female cultivator is incredibly powerful, but it seems she's all alone.

There are hundreds or even thousands of monsters in Misty Valley now. If a fight were to break out, she might not be a match for them.

But what if she possesses an even more powerful spiritual treasure… After weighing the options, the half-human beast spoke up.

"Fellow Daoist, may we have offended you in some way?"

The half-human monster was somewhat intelligent and didn't confront the enemy head-on.

Ye Yunong noticed that it kept glancing at her Langya Sword, and she knew that it was intimidated by her sword and mistakenly thought that she was some kind of powerful cultivator.

Because of the Chaos True Qi, the opponent couldn't see Ye Yunong's cultivation level at all.

Earth Spirit Weapons are typically used only by elders of mid-level sects or even sect leaders of small sects, and their opponents are usually cultivators at the Core Formation stage or above.

"You didn't offend me, but you offended someone you shouldn't have."

Ye Yunong said coldly.

"Could it be that among those human cultivators I just killed on the road, some of them were your friends?"

During its escape, the half-human demon encountered several minor demon-slaying cultivators, whom it killed casually and stole a large number of spirit stones and spirit bags.

"The person you offended is named Long Jiuqing. I was traveling and happened to pass by this place when I overheard you secretly cursing him behind his back, calling him a bastard."

Ye Yunong's words terrified the half-human, half-beast so much that it nearly extinguished its soul.

The name Long Jiuqing was like a hundred guillotines held to the neck of the half-human, half-beast demon, nearly driving it to the brink of collapse.

The half-human monster wished it could drag its already dead underling out and grind its bones to dust a hundred times over.

Its eyes were filled with fear, and its once tall body suddenly knelt down.

"You, you are Long Jiuqing's woman."
