Chapter 644: Demanding Life
Ye Chunyang was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that the old man could actually refine his own talisman. He could cast the Qi Talisman with just a wave of his hand. The speed of casting was hard to guard against.
"Junior brother, cast your Yang Talisman as well. You and I can practice Yin-Yang Mysterious Talisman together. As long as we work together to destroy this place, the demon girl will naturally come out without a hiding place."
After drawing the Qi Talisman out of thin air, the old man turned his head and said to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man thought for a while and nodded, saying: "I am also planning to do so, but the demon girl of the Demon Cult has always been cunning. Shouldn't we investigate first to prevent her from escaping from other places?"
"Junior brother, you are worrying too much. The demon girl's cultivation is not high. Even if she has any tricks, it will be useless in front of you and me. But since junior brother said so, let's investigate." The old man looked like he didn't care at all.
He temporarily put away the Qi Talisman, looked at Ye Chunyang and said in an imperative tone: "Fellow Daoist Ye, why don't you go down and explore, if you find the whereabouts of the witch, immediately inform the two of us."
Ye Chunyang's eyes flashed, and he did not take the old man's attitude to heart. After responding, he set off to the bottom of the island.
The island's veins are crisscrossed, and there are caves on all sides. It is unknown whether they are connected together. Ye Chunyang released his spiritual sense to explore, and after a little contemplation, he flashed into a cave and disappeared.
"Brother, the witch has the Tianjue Blade in her hand. With this boy's cultivation, let him go down to investigate. If he really meets this girl..." Watching Ye Chunyang's back disappear, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and looked strange.
"Brother, are you worried about this boy's life?" The old man laughed strangely.
"Not really, this boy is just an unknown person, and he will die if he dies. I am worried that he will not be able to pass on information to us in time after being killed by the witch, that's all." The middle-aged man shook his head expressionlessly.
To them, Ye Chunyang was just a worshiper invited by several family heads of Luoyun Island, insignificant. This time, he was just a tool for exploring the way. The middle-aged man naturally didn't care about his life or death.
"Brother, don't worry. The demon cult witch's cultivation is only in the early stage of magic power. If the boy can find her whereabouts, it will naturally save us some effort. If not, at most we will flatten this place, and the result will be the same." The old man smiled and said.
"In this case, you and I will wait for a while. If there is no news after half an hour, it means that the boy has been solved by the witch. It won't be too late for us to take action then."
The middle-aged man deeply agreed with this and fell silent with his hands behind his back.
...
The cave on the island was dark, without any light. After entering it, Ye Chunyang released his spiritual sense to explore it and walked slowly into it.
This cave is actually connected in all directions, with many forks. If you are not careful, it is very easy to get lost. Although this may be dangerous for others, it is naturally no obstacle for him who has reached the late stage of magic power. He quickly walked deep into the cave, and with a little exploration of his spiritual sense, he knew all the branching veins clearly.
However, what surprised Ye Chunyang was that the cave was filled with amazing evil spirits from time to time. If it were not for his extraordinary skills, even if his cultivation level increased greatly, he would probably be affected when walking here.
Of course, Ye Chunyang did not take these to heart. With his current cultivation level, it was a bit ridiculous to use a butcher knife to kill a chicken to deal with a demon cult witch in the early stage of magic power. The so-called exploration was just a matter of passing the time. He was more concerned about finishing this matter as soon as possible, and then looking for ancient treasures everywhere to replenish the spiritual energy for the spirit spoon.
Just as he was thinking this, his mind suddenly moved, and he stretched out his hand to touch the stone wall next to him. Then he seemed to have discovered something, and a trace of hesitation flashed across his face.
At this moment, there was a loud "bang" and the demonic energy on the stone wall was surging. A black light broke through the wall in front of him without warning and shot straight at his throat like lightning. However, Ye Chunyang seemed to have expected this. He rolled up his sleeves without any surprise. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the surrounding stone walls moved autonomously as if they were possessed by spiritual consciousness, completely offsetting the black light.
After advancing to the late stage of magic power, Ye Chunyang's cultivation was incomparable to the past. He could drive objects into tools with a thought, and his casting speed was increased several times. This black light seemed to come very fast, but it did not pose any threat to him.
After the black light dissipated, a round blade was seen spinning in the air, the whole body was dark red like a blood wheel, releasing an astonishing evil spirit. It was actually a powerful magic weapon. At the same time, a vague figure appeared in the dark tunnel, looking at Ye Chunyang with unbelievable doubts.
But after the sound fell, the blood blade did not stop at all, and it circled again, releasing fierce demonic energy and attacked Ye Chunyang again.
Ye Chunyang snorted coldly, opened and closed his mouth slightly, and a ball of spiritual energy sprayed out, which quickly rolled towards the blade. After a few muffled sounds, the blood blade retreated back as if it encountered a strong wind, and embedded in the stone wall without any fluctuations.
The figure in the dark was shocked. He immediately recalled the blood blade without hesitation, and then quickly sacrificed a talisman, and was about to escape underground with yellow light flashing all over his body.
"Since you are ambushing here, why don't you show up before leaving?" Ye Chunyang sneered and stomped his feet lightly on the ground.
There was no spiritual wave coming out, and the spiritual energy around the dark figure was suddenly shaken and dispersed, and the three feet below the ground instantly became as tough as fine steel. No matter how exquisite the other party's talisman was, he could not find a way out.
"Condense the earth into steel! You are a late-stage cultivator!"
A scream came from the darkness, and it sounded like a woman, who seemed to want to escape in panic.
"You have a good magic weapon, fellow Daoist."
Ye Chunyang sneered lightly. He had just noticed that the magic blade that sneaked up on him was of extraordinary quality. After a brief judgment, he guessed that this treasure was probably the Tian Jue Blade that the old and middle-aged people called it.
Obviously, its owner is the demon sect witch.
"Which sect are you a master of? I ask myself, little girl, I have no grudge against you, so why should I kill them all?" The demon sect witch was frightened and angry, with deep fear in her words.
But after sensing the opponent's aura, Ye Chunyang couldn't help but be surprised. According to the information revealed by the old man and the middle-aged man, this woman seemed to be in the early stage of her magic power, but now the opponent's cultivation level was in the middle stage. It seemed that the information had error.
At this time, she discovered that all the spiritual energy around her was trapped under the opponent's magic power, leaving her with no way out. I originally thought that the opponent was only in the early stage of magic power, but unexpectedly he was in the later stages of cultivation. Facing such great monks, he was still no match for the opponent no matter how hard he tried.
"I have no family and no sect, and I have never met the fairy. I don't want to embarrass the fairy, but I use money to help others eliminate disasters. Since I agreed to others, I have no choice but to suffer the fairy to stay here for a while."
Although the information was somewhat biased, this woman's cultivation was still beyond Ye Chunyang's discernment. She immediately made a seal with both hands, and the area within a few feet around her became as solid as a cage. Then he raised one hand, and the place seemed to be forcibly shrunk, taking in the figure in the darkness.
He only promised to complete the task of exploring the path for several masters, and did not agree to anything else. Naturally, he would not take anyone's life rashly. As long as he was imprisoned here, the two old men would handle the rest.
The demon sect witch was shocked. Even though she struggled hard, she could not resist Ye Chunyang's powerful magic power, and she was caught in front of him in a blink of an eye.
But when they got closer and saw the faces of both parties clearly, they both showed unexpected expressions almost at the same time.
"It's you?"
"Why are you here!"
…
"Senior brother, why haven't you seen that boy come out after such a long time? Could it be that he really met the witch and was killed in the cave?"
Outside the cave, the middle-aged man and the old man stood side by side, looking at the rich demonic energy on the island, with a look of surprise on their faces. It had been more than half an hour since Ye Chunyang entered the cave to investigate, and so far only the slightest movement had been heard, which made him somewhat strange.
"The demon sect witch has the magic treasure Tianjue Blade inherited from the Xuanyue Demon Sect in her hand. The boy has a low cultivation level, so it will be very dangerous if he goes in. We don't have to wait for him. We should cast a spell to force the witch out immediately to avoid the other party. He escaped before he noticed it." The old man frowned deeply, and after a moment of sensing the cave with his spiritual consciousness, he found that there was indeed no Ye Chunyang's aura, and he said expressionlessly.
"Senior brother, what you said makes sense. The demon girl has so many tricks up her sleeves. Although we are fully prepared, we still have to solve it as soon as possible." The middle-aged man nodded in agreement.
As he spoke, he made the seal with the old man, exhaled in his mouth, and moved his hand quickly. In an instant, a bright white Qi Talisman took shape.
Different from the old man's smooth and restrained spirit, the middle-aged man's energy talisman fluctuated extremely strongly, with a violent and domineering aura that destroyed everything. As soon as it appeared, a strong wind swept around, causing the mountains to buzz.
After the Qi Talisman was sacrificed respectively, a look of cruelty flashed across both of their faces, and then they raised their hands to cast the spell at the same time.
A strange scene appeared.
The two qi talismans trembled continuously under the urging of the two, and the two rays of light, one black and one white, quickly merged and turned into a complete talisman, shooting out thousands of feet of brilliant light, doubling in power.
"Do it!"
The two of them looked at each other and activated their mana one after another. The black and white talisman trembled briefly and then fell from below, rolling up a large wave of light and shaking the mountain.
But this time a sudden change occurred.
A ray of light and shadow suddenly appeared outside the cave and rushed into the sky in a flash. The two were surprised and couldn't help but pause. When they looked up, they saw that the light and shadow was actually Ye Chunyang, who had disappeared for a long time.
"Why did the boy come out at this time? Have you discovered the whereabouts of the demon sect woman?" The old man frowned, first surprised, and then hummed with dissatisfaction.
There was clearly questioning in the middle-aged man's eyes.
"Witch?"
Ye Chunyang glanced at the talismans in their hands, remained silent for a moment, and then said: "To be honest with you two fellow Taoists, I have indeed met the demon sect witch."
"So she is indeed hiding in this cave? Where is she? Take me two there quickly. I will do justice for heaven this time and bring down this witch!"
The two of them looked happy when they heard this and hurriedly urged.
Ye Chunyang looked up at the old man, with a strange look on his face, and said, "It's okay to take you two with me, but before that, I wonder if I can ask you for something?"
"What do you want to ask for?" The old man frowned slightly, obviously impatient.
Ye Chunyang smiled and said, "How about begging for life?"
