When Ji Tianxing was locked up in the Dark Wind Cave, he had fought with the black-robed woman of the Demon Clan. He knew how powerful the Demon Clan was.
Therefore, when he was searching for clues in the forest, he was always vigilant and did not dare to let his guard down.
Not long after, Bai Wuchen suddenly made a new discovery.
He lowered his voice and said to Yun Yao, "Eldest Senior Sister, according to the Xuan Ji Pagoda's investigation, Ji Ling's body is very close to us. It's in this mountain!"
Yun Yao frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. Then, she said in a low voice, "Master once said that the Demon Clan is cruel and vicious. They are not tolerated by any race in the world. Therefore, they hide in the depths of the earth to survive until now."
"If that's the case, it's very likely that the Demon Clan is hiding in this mountain!"
Bai Wuchen nodded in agreement. "Eldest Senior Sister, your analysis is very reasonable. We must find a way to enter the mountain. I guess the Demon Clan is hiding in the cave."
Yun Yao lowered her voice and said, "Look carefully. See if there's an entrance to the cave."
Therefore, the three of them continued to search carefully in the forest, looking for a crack or a cave that could lead them into the mountain.
About two hours later, the three of them searched around the mountain.
Finally, Ji Tianxing found a dark cave in the forest at the foot of the mountain.
The cave was about two meters wide and was covered by a cluster of extremely lush thorns.
If one did not look closely, one would not be able to find it.
Moreover, Ji Tianxing could clearly sense that there was a formation at the entrance of the seemingly ordinary cave.
He waved at Yun Yao and Bai Wuchen, who were not far away, and the two of them hurried over.
After looking around for a while, Bai Wuchen pulled out his sword and slashed all the thorns at the entrance of the cave.
The entrance of the cave was clearly exposed in front of the three of them. The light in the cave was dim, so they could not see the depth of the cave.
Yun Yao frowned and observed for a while. Then, she came to a conclusion. "There's a defensive formation at the entrance of the cave. There's a strong aura of the Demon Clan. It should be one of the entrances to the Demon Clan's stronghold."
"Okay, let me try to break the formation." Bai Wuchen put away his sword and walked to the entrance of the cave. He waved his hands and released Vital Energy to try to break the formation.
He spent a quarter of an hour and tried twice, but failed both times.
Bai Wuchen was a little embarrassed, so he took out the Xuan Ji Pagoda and used its power to break the formation.
The Profound Secrets Treasure Pagoda was indeed miraculous, breaking the defensive array formation at the cave entrance very quickly.
"Shua!"
When the formation collapsed, a black fog flashed before their eyes, and the scene at the entrance of the cave immediately changed.
The originally pitch-black and rough cave had turned into an ancient black-brown stone door.
This stone gate was three meters tall, and its frame was engraved with the characters and strange symbols of the Demon Race. It faintly exuded the chill of blood and death.
"After you go in, try to hide your aura as much as possible. Don't fight the demons head-on."
"Remember, our mission is only to retrieve Ji Ling's soul!"
Yun Yao instructed with a solemn expression. Then, she pushed open the sturdy and heavy stone door and entered the cave first.
Ji Tianxing followed closely behind, while Bai Wuchen walked at the back with his sword in hand.
The three of them slowed down, held their breaths, and tried their best to hide their aura. They didn't make a single sound.
The cave was a little dark and damp. It meandered underground, and there were traces of man-made excavation on both sides of the cave walls.
The three of them walked along the tunnel for about a hundred steps, and the tunnel became as dark as ink. There wasn't a single ray of light.
However, Yun Yao's strength was extraordinary. Even in such a dark environment, she could see the situation in front of her clearly.
Not long after, there were some forks on both sides of the tunnel, and a few narrow passages extended out.
Yun Yao ignored those passages and continued to follow the main path, going deeper into the cave.
After about an hour, the three of them had walked for a total of ten miles, and they were already more than a thousand meters underground.
At this moment, they finally reached the end of the tunnel.
The three of them entered a huge and spacious cave. They stopped and hid in a dark corner, silently observing the situation in the cave.
This cave was at least a hundred meters tall and more than a thousand meters wide. It wouldn't feel crowded even if it accommodated thousands of people.
Dozens of gemstones were inlaid on the ceiling of the cave, emitting sparkling light. Although it was a little weak, it could still disperse part of the darkness.
There were many huge stone sculptures in the middle of the cave. They weren't in the shape of humans, but of demons and gods with three heads and six arms.
At first glance, those stone sculptures of demons and gods all had green faces and fangs under the dim light. They were very ferocious and terrifying.
On the walls of the cave, there were many three-meter-tall stone doors. Behind the doors should be passages or rooms.
Each stone door was dark brown, and the door frame and lintel were engraved with demon words and symbols. They looked ancient, mysterious, and evil.
The cave was dead silent. There was no movement or sound. It was as if it was shrouded in the aura of death, which made people feel depressed.
Yun Yao had the Celestial Spirit Sacred Body bloodline, so she was very sensitive to the aura of other races.
This kind of cave occupied by demons was filled with the aura of blood and death. It made her instinctively feel disgusted and resistant.
The three of them hid in the dark corner for a while. Yun Yao used the power of her Sacred Body bloodline and sensed for a long time. Finally, she got the result.
She looked at the six stone doors around the cave and whispered to Ji Tianxing and Bai Wuchen, "Among the six stone doors, the aura of demons is thicker in the two on the left and the two in the middle. There are also signs of activity. There might be demons hiding there."
"Only the two stone doors on the right have the aura of demons, but it is fixed. We have to start searching from those two doors."
Bai Wuchen secretly sensed the Xuan Ji Pagoda and analyzed the result. He nodded in agreement and said, "Senior Sister is right. I suggest we start searching from the right."
Then, the three of them whispered to each other and discussed a simple plan.
Yun Yao and Ji Tianxing hid in the dark corner and watched for any changes. They supported Bai Wuchen.
Bai Wuchen quietly went to the stone door on the far right and silently cracked the array on the door.
He had good attainments in array formation. With the help of the Xuan Ji Pagoda, he quickly cracked the defensive array on the stone door.
He pushed open the heavy stone door and went into the passage behind it to investigate for a while. Then, he gestured for Yun Yao and Ji Tianxing to follow him.
The three of them walked to the end of the passage behind the door and saw a spacious hall.
There were piles of bones in the dark hall!
Thousands of grayish-white bones were piled up into a small hill!
Most of the bones had been stored for many years. They had long rotted and become a pile of bones.
At the edge of the white bone hill, there was a relatively intact corpse that had not completely rotted yet.
Although the corpse was broken and emitted a strong stench.
However, Ji Tianxing, Yun Yao, and the other two immediately recognized him.
That corpse was Ji Ling's!
