Seeing this, Liu Ming sighed in his heart and didn't say anything else.
He had some thoughts about the Heavenweeping Demon Venerable's tomb. With his strength, even if he was discovered, he would have no problem escaping.
With this in mind, he calmed down and glanced at the bead in Zhao Qianying's hand. He could vaguely feel that the bead seemed to contain some kind of strange life force.
Zhao Qianying softly chanted an incantation and formed several mysterious hand signs with her other hand.
The runes on the surface of the yellow bead brightly lit up. With a tremble, it turned into a ball of yellow light.
The yellow light quickly faded away, and the bead in Zhao Qianying's hand had already disappeared. In its place was a small yellow beast that looked like a leopard cat. Its shiny yellow fur seemed unusually soft, and its pair of big eyes, which almost took up half of its face, were shining brightly. It looked extremely clever.
Zhao Qianying's beautiful eyes revealed a doting gaze. She used her hand to gently stroke the soft fur of the small beast and softly said something.
The leopard cat immediately jumped into the air with its hind legs. Its nose moved slightly, and it sniffed around. Wisps of seemingly invisible and colorless fluctuations emitted from where Gao Heyan and the Jackdaw Elder were originally standing. The little beast inhaled them through its nose.
Immediately after, the small beast flashed and landed in Zhao Qianying's palm. Its body looked extremely light and it let out a low whine at Zhao Qianying, as if it was saying something.
Zhao Qianying listened attentively. It seemed that she could really understand the words of the leopard cat.
After a while, the woman raised her head slightly and glanced at Liu Ming. Seeing Liu Ming's puzzled look, she chuckled proudly and said, "Don't worry.
"I know what you want to ask. This is a Nine Net Raccoon. Although its cultivation is only at the Liquid Level, it is extremely sensitive to demonic Qi. It can smell even the slightest trace of demonic Qi in the air. As long as it is here, even if those people run to the ends of the earth, we can follow them from afar without worrying about being noticed. "
"I see!" Liu Ming nodded and said.
"It's normal that you don't know. Don't be fooled by this beast's cute appearance. In fact, its personality is extremely unyielding. It is impossible to tame or plant a soul contract with it, so you don't have to think about it. Alright, according to their speed, they should be at least several hundred kilometers away from us. Let's go. " As Zhao Qianying spoke, she placed the raccoon back into her collar, revealing only its furry head. Purple light flashed from her body, and she flew off into the distance in a streak of light.
"Looks like the talent of this [Listening Cry] is truly amazing. It can even have such a wonderful use." Liu Ming shook his head and didn't say anything else. He also transformed into a streak of black light and followed after Zhao Qianying.
In the following time, Liu Ming and Zhao Qianying chased after Gao Heyan and the others under the leadership of the Nine Silk Fox in his arms.
Because all the dangers ahead had been dealt with by Gao He Yan and the others, and the other party seemed to be in a hurry, they didn't seem to be interested in the natural treasures along the way. This was a good thing for Liu Ming and Zhao Qianying. The two of them walked and stopped along the way, and the harvest was quite plentiful, so they were happy and free.
Seven or eight days later, at the bottom of a valley on the outskirts of the Demonic Abyss, Gao Heyan, Jackdaw Old Man, and the others stopped.
In front of them was a huge cavern.
The cavern was twenty to thirty meters tall, and its walls were pitch-black. From time to time, gusts of black, chilly wind would blow out, scattering the nearby fog.
Gao Heyan removed the Jade Slips from his forehead and slowly said, "According to the map, this should be the place."
He and Jackdaw Old Man stood at the front of the group and gazed into the depths of the cavern.
They saw that the cavern led underground. It was pitch-black and bottomless, and gusts of black, chilly wind surged, forming vortexes of various sizes. Faint ghostly wails and wolf howls could be heard coming from inside, causing one's head to spin.
Jackdaw Old Man's eyes flickered. "It seems this place isn't simple. The chilly wind inside seems to be the Impermanent Wind recorded in the ancient records."
"Impermanent Wind! Could it be the kind of wind that only appears in places where yin and yang intersects? The kind that's extremely harmful to the soul? "Gao Heyan's eyes flashed, and he spread out his divine sense, extending it into the cavern.
His divine sense had only extended for a few kilometers when the chilly wind blew past it. It immediately began to dissipate. He hastily withdrew his divine sense, and his expression changed.
Gao Heyan solemnly warned, "Sure enough. If my divine sense extends for a few kilometers, it'll be in danger of being crushed by the chilly wind. In that case, I won't be able to use my divine sense to investigate the surrounding dangers. It's said that this Heavencry Demon Sovereign is naturally paranoid. Since he built his tomb here, there must be other dangers inside. After entering, everyone must be careful."
The members of the illustrious aristocratic families behind him agreed. The four Celestial Phenomenon Demon Cultivators that Jackdaw Old Man had brought with him also nodded solemnly, their bodies glowing with various colors.
Just now, they'd each released a strand of their divine sense to probe the situation. As Gao Heyan said, this was a matter of life and death. No one dared to be careless.
Jackdaw Old Man gravely said, "Everyone, there's no need to worry too much. The Impermanent Wind here isn't very strong. As long as you don't extend your divine sense out of your body and guard your sea of consciousness, the wind won't cause too much harm."
When everyone heard this, their expressions relaxed slightly.
As for the fact that they couldn't use their divine sense to investigate their surroundings, they were all at the Celestial Phenomenon realm or higher. Moreover, they were the cream of the crop in their respective clans. They'd experienced countless hardships and dangers in their cultivation, so it wasn't like they hadn't encountered similar situations before. Each of them had a way to sense their surroundings without relying on their divine sense.
"Alright, there's no time to lose. Let's go in." Seeing that everyone was ready, Gao Heyan moved to fly into the cavern.
Jackdaw Old Man suddenly thought of something and said, "Fellow Daoist Gao Heyan, wait a moment. I think we should arrange for someone to guard the entrance. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if someone else comes in while we're inside."
Gao Heyan slapped his forehead, somewhat vexed. "That's right, Fellow Daoist Jackdaw. I was too careless."
Under the two's arrangements, the Gao Heyan and Jackdaw Families each left a Celestial Phenomenon Demon to guard the cavern entrance.
Immediately afterward, Gao Heyan and the others released various protective treasures and flew into the cavern. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the black, chilling wind.
The two remaining Celestial Phenomenon Demon Cultivators glanced at each other, then stood on either side of the cavern and vigilantly scanned their surroundings.
At this moment, in the grayish-white mist several dozen kilometers away from the cave, a faintly discernible green shadow emerged. Within the green shadow, the figures of Liu Ming and Zhao Qianying appeared.
The Ninefold Raccoon on Zhao Qianying's shoulder had long since disappeared. She must've stored it away.
With their eyesight, it only took a moment for them to clearly see the situation outside the cavern.
Zhao Qianying beamed, "It seems this is the place. Gao Heyan and the others have already entered. They left two guards behind."
Liu Ming's eyes twinkled as he looked at the tall cavern and spread out his divine sense.
His divine sense far surpassed that of ordinary Celestial Phenomenon cultivators, so he wasn't afraid of being discovered. He quickly spread his divine sense into the cavern.
At this moment, his expression changed slightly.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Qianying saw the change in Liu Ming's expression and hurriedly whispered. At the same time, a speck of purple light lit up beside her ear as she listened to their surroundings.
"It's nothing," Liu Ming said. "It's not an enemy. It's just that the chilling wind in the cavern is a bit strange. It can actually scatter divine sense."
"There's such a strange thing? What kind of strange wind is that? " Zhao Qianying might want to probe, but she wasn't confident that her divine sense would be stronger than the two Celestial Phenomenon Devils by the side of the cavern. Thus, she didn't dare to act rashly.
"To be able to scatter divine sense … it seems like the wind in the cavern should be the Impermanent Wind." Mo Tian's voice echoed again.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed. A moment later, he transmitted a message to Mo Tian and asked, "Impermanent Wind? How much do you understand about the Impermanent Wind? "
"I can't say that I understand it. I just know a little. This wind has the power of yin and yang. Thus, it is extremely lethal to the divine spirit. However, the Impermanent Wind only appears at the intersection of the Nine Netherworlds and the outside world. It is rather strange for it to appear in the Devil Abyss. "Mo Tian spoke with a strange tone.
After Liu Ming heard it, he muttered to himself and looked at the direction of the cavern without saying a word.
"Brother Liu, Gao Heyan and the others have already entered the cavern. How are we going to enter? Do you have a good plan?" Zhao Qianying couldn't help but feel anxious when she saw Liu Ming muttering to himself for a long time.
Liu Ming frowned, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Since he had already followed them here, he naturally wasn't willing to leave. However, the two Celestial Phenomenon Devils at the entrance of the cavern were troublesome. Even if Liu Ming could kill the two of them in an instant, there was no guarantee that Gao Heyan and the Frost Crow Elder wouldn't be able to detect their deaths and expose their whereabouts.
"Master, Scorpion has an idea that might allow Master to enter." Right at this moment, Scorpion's voice sounded in Liu Ming's ears.
When Liu Ming heard this, his heart was moved.
…
Next to the cavern in the valley, the person left behind by Gao Heyan was wearing a black robe. His eyebrows were like swords, and his appearance was somewhat handsome. His cultivation had also reached the middle stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. He was cautiously observing the movements around him.
Although he couldn't enter the cavern with Gao Heyan, the man with sword-like eyebrows didn't feel regretful.
This person was conservative. The cavern was full of dangers, and he might die inexplicably. It was good to be on standby outside. Anyway, if Gao Heyan obtained benefits inside, he would never forget his share.
Just as the man with sword-like eyebrows was muttering in his heart, a faint hiss came from the gray fog in the distance. It seemed to be the roar of a magical beast, and it was quickly approaching.
The man with sword-like eyebrows' expression changed, and a muffled sound came from the ground around him. Then, the fog not far in front of him suddenly split in two, and countless large and small rocks shot out, covering the sky and the earth, shooting towards the two people at the entrance of the cavern.
The Celestial Phenomenon Realm demon on the Frost Crow Elder's side was also shocked. So far, the two had not seen what the intruders were.
