Ji Tianxing, Yun Yao, Feng Min, and the others gathered at the grassland outside the entrance of the Demon's Cave.
Everyone looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that they were only slightly injured.
"I wonder if the four teams of disciples have completed their mission?"
"This is a great opportunity. Let's join forces to chase after the High Priest and the Demoness. Perhaps we can kill them today!"
"Let's go in and take a look. We can't let them escape!"
Hao Meng, Feng Min, and Wu Yu discussed for a while. They were all eager to rush into the Demon's Cave to chase after the High Priest and the Demoness.
Right at this moment, in the sky above the forest that was a thousand meters away from them, two signal arrows suddenly whistled.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the sky. When they saw the two signal arrows rising into the sky, they all revealed gratified smiles.
"That's great!"
"They have completed their mission and evacuated from the Demon's Cave through the other exits!"
"The four teams have evacuated from the Demon's Cave and returned to the rendezvous point."
Feng Min, Wu Yu, and the others' spirits shook as they revealed joyful expressions.
Yun Yao frowned and thought for a while. She ordered in a deep voice, "Let's not chase after the High Priest and the Demoness. Let's meet up with the disciples of the various sects and understand the situation in the Demon's Cave!"
No one had any objections. They followed her through the forest and rushed to the rendezvous point.
After a while, Ji Tianxing and the others arrived at an open space at the foot of the mountain.
The disciples of the four sects were waiting in the open space. When they saw Yun Yao and the others, two of them quickly came forward and reported the situation.
"Senior Sister Yun Yao, we have completed our mission and successfully evacuated!"
"Fortunately, we did not disappoint. We have killed all the Demon Clan guards in the Demon's Cave. Even if there were a few that escaped, they were either severely injured or severely injured …"
After hearing the news from the two disciples, Ji Tianxing, Hao Meng, and the others were excited and smiled.
However, the two disciples continued to report, "Senior Sister Yun Yao, we fought a bloody battle and killed hundreds of Demon Clan guards."
"However, we also suffered heavy casualties. Almost everyone suffered heavy injuries."
"There are also six junior brothers and sisters who sacrificed themselves in this battle. We brought their bodies out as well."
The expressions of Ji Tianxing, Yun Yao, and the others changed slightly as they hurriedly looked towards the disciples of the four sects.
The thirty or so surviving disciples were all covered in blood and had disheveled hair.
Many people's white robes were in tatters, dyed dark red by blood.
Every disciple suffered heavy injuries. A few disciples had their arms or legs chopped off. Their injuries were very miserable, and they constantly groaned in pain.
On the grass behind the disciples, there were six cold corpses lying side by side. They were the disciples who had sacrificed themselves in this operation.
Among the six dead disciples, one was from the Sky Pillar Sect, one was from the Heartmoon Sect, and two were from the Six Unity Sect and the Pill Cauldron Sect.
Seeing this scene, Yun Yao, Ji Tianxing, and the others' hearts became heavy, and the joy in their hearts was diluted.
However, the disciples of the four sects had annihilated hundreds of Demon Clan guards in the Demon Cave at the cost of such heavy casualties.
This was definitely an exhilarating victory. It was a real victory!
Seeing that everyone was severely injured and urgently needed to find a place to heal, Yun Yao said with a solemn expression, "Junior brothers and sisters, thank you for your help!"
"Everyone is seriously injured, and we can't waste time here. Everyone, hurry back to the foothold on the opposite mountain and treat your injuries as soon as possible!"
"Leave the rest to the five of us."
The two leading disciples cupped their fists and bowed to Yun Yao. Then, following her orders, they quickly left with the thirty or so disciples.
Everyone helped each other and carried the six corpses of the disciples across the canyon between the two mountains. They returned to the opposite mountain.
After the disciples left, Yun Yao, Ji Tianxing, and the others hurriedly rushed into the entrance of the Demon Cave and continued to chase after the High Priest and the Blood Moon Infanta.
After a few minutes, everyone passed through the pitch-black twisting passageway and entered the Demon Cave.
As soon as they entered the Demon Cave, they saw a spacious and gloomy cave.
Everyone held their swords and cautiously passed through the cave. They looked around with keen eyes and searched for traces of the High Priest and the Blood Moon Infanta.
The cave was filled with a thick smell of blood. There were many corpses of Demon Clan guards lying on the ground.
Ji Tianxing counted silently. There were more than eighty corpses of Demon Clan guards in the cave.
However, after looking around the cave, they still couldn't find the High Priest and the Blood Moon Infanta.
Yun Yao frowned and looked at the stone doors around the cave. She said in a deep voice, "There are several stone doors. There are many passageways and secret rooms behind them."
"We will split into two groups and search. Once we find traces of the High Priest and the Witch, we will immediately send a signal to inform them."
Everyone nodded in agreement and split into two groups to search.
Yun Yao and Feng Min moved together. Ji Tianxing, Hao Meng, and Wu Yu moved together.
Everyone opened the stone doors around the cave and entered the passageways and secret rooms behind them. They searched carefully.
After forty-five minutes, Ji Tianxing, Yun Yao, and the others carefully searched the passageways and rooms behind the stone doors.
Everyone returned to the cave and gathered. They exchanged information with each other.
Hao Meng said to everyone, "Junior Martial Brother Ji and I have already checked the two stone doors on the left. We didn't find the High Priest and the Witch. We killed a few of them."
Feng Min followed up and said, "We also checked the right door. We didn't find the High Priest and the Witch."
Yun Yao frowned slightly. She looked at the largest stone door in front of them and said, "Only that stone door hasn't been checked."
"If I remember correctly, only the High Priest and the Witch can enter and exit that door. That should be a secret area of the Demon Cave."
After saying this, she led Ji Tianxing and the others to the largest stone door.
The stone door was tightly shut. It flickered with a dark red light.
There were array patterns and symbols carved on the door frame. It was obvious that there was an array formation protecting it.
Yun Yao, Feng Min, and Wu Yu worked together. It only took them a hundred breaths to break the array formation on the stone door.
After opening the stone door, everyone held their swords tightly and carefully stepped over the stone door. They carefully searched every room and secret room.
Soon, fifteen minutes passed.
Everyone searched six rooms and secret rooms in a row. They didn't find the High Priest and the Witch.
Yun Yao led everyone into the last secret room.
This secret room was relatively large. It looked like an important place for sacrificial ceremonies.
There was a sacrificial altar in the room. There was also a huge blood pool.
A Demon God statue stood in the middle of the blood pool. It looked extremely ferocious and terrifying under the bloody light.
There were stone tables, stools, and cabinets in the secret room. There were also secret compartments for storage in the walls.
However, the High Priest and the Witch were not in this secret room.
