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

It turned out that Qin Nanhuai and the other two were searching everywhere for Long Jiuqing. They had captured so many demons along the way, but Long Jiuqing's reputation was too great, and no matter how they asked, they couldn't get any information out of her.

The cultivation world is so vast, where are they supposed to find Long Jiuqing?

Fortunately, their luck hadn't completely run out yet. They recently captured another demon, which was actually a subordinate of the half-human demon beast. It mentioned that its boss wasn't Long Jiuqing, but the half-human demon beast. Gu Yue immediately thought of that half-human demon beast.

The half-human demon beast is Long Jiuqing's underling!

They followed the demon's lead and found the half-human demon beast, unexpectedly running into Ye Yunong by sheer coincidence.

"There was a woman beside that half-human monster."

Meng Qingchen was very wary and did not dare to approach rashly, but only followed the human and the demon from a distance.

When Ye Yunong came to find the half-human demon beast, she covered her face and changed her clothes. Meng Qingchen and the others did not realize that the person was Ye Yunong for a moment.

"It seems that the other party is also a cultivator."

"How could a cultivator be with a demon?"

Qin Nanhuai and Gu Yue looked puzzled.

Meng Qingchen said in a deep voice,

"We can't worry about that now. If that female cultivator gets in our way later, we'll kill her too."

The three nodded and followed closely behind Ye Yunong and the half-human beast.

The half-human, half-beast led Ye Yunong forward. After a few steps, Ye Yunong suddenly lowered her voice and said in a tone only the two of them could hear,

"Let's not go find Long Jiuqing yet."

The half-human, half-beast's eyes darted around, a ghostly light gleaming within them.

"Your Excellency, you've also noticed that someone is following us."

"Don't worry, I'll go and kill them."

The half-human, half-beast gnashed its teeth, preparing to unleash a massacre.

"There are three of them. If you really start fighting, it won't be that easy."

Ye Yunong didn't need to look back to recognize the familiar footsteps of her junior brothers.

"Then what should we do?"

If they can't kill people, the half-human monsters won't know what to do.

Do you remember Misty Valley?

Ye Yunong asked with a smile.

Judging by the time, Master Qinglian should have already arrived at Misty Valley, but it would be useless for him to rush there. Even if Master Qinglian were to break the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Heaven Formation, he probably wouldn't be able to, unless…

A cold smile flickered across Ye Yunong's lips.

Her spiritual root was ruined, and she wanted others to experience what it was like to have their spiritual root ruined.

"Of course I remember. The Misty Valley isn't far from here, only about ten miles away."

Lady, don't you like that place?

"Don't worry, I've already spoken to my demon subordinates; no one is allowed to approach that area."

The half-human demon beast had no idea about any immortal cave; all he knew was that it was the lady's territory.

"In that case, let me ask you one more thing: do you know how to dig a hole?"

The ground beneath Ye Yunong's feet was muddy.

Upon hearing this, the half-human, half-beast patted its chest.

"My lady, you must be joking."

I used to be a pangolin, and my burrowing skills were top-notch.

"Among the powerful demons in the vicinity, none is stronger than me."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yunong leaned close to its ear and rattled off a string of words. The half-human beast was completely bewildered, but it dared not disobey its mistress's orders.

"My lady, please wait here."

As they spoke, the half-human beast suddenly exuded demonic energy. Hard, rock-like armor plates on its limbs opened up, and it used both hands and feet like a drill. With a whoosh, it transformed into a blur and burrowed into the ground.

"Oh no! That monster is trying to escape."

Gu Yue and the others followed behind, and when they saw the half-human demon beast suddenly burrow underground, they all looked tense. They had finally managed to track down the half-human demon beast, and they couldn't let it escape.

"Don't panic, didn't you see that the woman didn't run away?"

Ye Yunong was still standing there when a new hole appeared in the ground, big enough for one person to enter.

The half-human monster was right; it was incredibly skilled at digging tunnels and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that Ye Yunong hadn't run away, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can run away from the monk but not the temple; we just have to wait for the half-human, half-beast to return."

As Meng Qingchen spoke, he touched the Seven Killings Flags hidden in his sleeve.

He was already impatient to get his Seven Killings Flag.

The half-human monster wasn't exaggerating; it was indeed a master at digging tunnels.

Normally, even a cultivator with an earth elemental root would need one or two days to dig a ten-mile-long tunnel, but with the half-human demon beast, it only took a little over an hour to dig an underground passage.

The half-human monster crawled out of the cave.

"My lady, the hole has been dug as you instructed."

"So what exactly are you up to?"

"Don't ask yet, you'll find out soon enough."

Let's go over there.

Ye Yunong pointed to the cave, and the half-human demon beast went in front, with Ye Yunong following behind, and they entered the underground passage together.

After seeing Ye Yunong and the half-human demon beast enter the cave, Meng Qingchen and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Meng Qingchen waved his hand, about to go up.

Gu Yue was still somewhat hesitant.

"Third Senior Brother, could there be a trap here?"

On the ground, if they can't win a fight, they can use escape techniques. But once underground, if they encounter an enemy attack, they can't escape.

“It’s inconvenient for us underground, and it’s inconvenient for them too.”

Judging from their appearance, they must have gone to look for Long Jiuqing. No wonder we couldn't find Long Jiuqing for so long. They say a cunning rabbit has three burrows; Long Jiuqing must be hiding in some underground lair somewhere.

Meng Qingchen looked completely confident.

The three of them entered the underground passage, which was only wide enough for one person to pass through at a time. They had to use their hands and feet to crawl, their faces covered in dust. They didn't know how long they crawled before they finally emerged from the hole.

Upon emerging from the cave, they found themselves enveloped in a hazy, gray mist.

Upon seeing the mist, the three worried that it might be poisonous, so they quickly took out antidotes and swallowed them.

Gu Yue looked around, vaguely feeling that this place was somewhat familiar. Suddenly, he remembered something.

"I know where I am now, this is Misty Valley."

They had passed through this area on their way to Wanglian Lake.

Gu Yue had some impression of Misty Valley because his junior sister, Lu Jinxin, seemed to want to explore it, but his second senior brother objected, so they only looked at the entrance of Misty Valley and did not go in.

"As expected of the Heavenly Demon Dragon Jiuqing of the Myriad Realms, ordinary people would not dare to come to this place. Only demons like to hide here."

Meng Qingchen was even more certain that Long Jiuqing was hiding nearby.

As for the female cultivator and the half-human demon beast from before, they are gone, presumably having entered the Misty Valley.

"Third Senior Brother, should we press our advantage and charge in?"

Gu Yue was eager to get revenge on Long Jiuqing soon, so he wanted to rush in and have a big fight.

What are you going in for?

Are we just sending ourselves to our deaths?

We set up a Seven Killings Formation at the exit, to lure them into a trap.

Meng Qingchen had a cunning look on his face.
