As the group went deeper into the cave, it became darker and darker. There seemed to be an endless number of bats on top of the cave. The deeper they went, the more bats there were. Their sharp teeth and low murmurs seemed to be ringing in their ears.
After walking for about half an hour, two forked paths appeared in front of them. They were deep and dark, and they didn't know where they led to. It was like the mouth of a demon.
In the middle of the path, there was a huge stone tablet that was as tall as six people. There were four blood-red words carved on it: "The Heavenly Dao is with me!"
At this moment, Fa Xiang looked at Mu Qingxiao and said, "Senior Brother Mu, this cave is full of dangers. There is a problem in front of us. Which path should we take?"
Mu Qingxiao pondered for a moment and said, "It is said that the Demon Sect's nest is behind both paths during the war between the righteous and demonic paths. Since that is the case, why don't we split up? Xue Qi and I will go to the left, and you guys will go to the right. What do you think?"
Fa Xiang was stunned. The Ten Thousand Bat Cave was full of dangers. No one knew what they would encounter next. Mu Qingxiao actually suggested splitting up at this moment. It was really a bad idea. "What do you guys think?"
"Then let's do as Junior Brother Mu said. We will split up."
After saying that, Zhang Xiaofan took the lead and walked to the right path. He wasn't worried at all. Lin JingYu looked at the two of them and followed. Zeng Shushu saw them leave and quickly chased after them. "Hey, wait for me!"
Mu Qingxiao nodded at Fa Xiang and disappeared into the left path with Lu XueQi.
Li Xun saw Lu XueQi's figure disappear and his face darkened. He snorted and said, "How arrogant. Who is this kid? How can he order us around?"
Fa Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "Almsgiver Li, please consider the big picture. I believe Senior Brother Mu has his reasons. Let's go quickly …"
Lu XueQi couldn't help but ask, "Qingxiao, the Ten Thousand Bat Cave is full of dangers. It is not wise to split up with Junior Brother Mu and the others."
Mu Qingxiao smiled but didn't say anything. It was not wise to bring Li Xun and the others with him. It was a waste of time and he didn't like the atmosphere. Although the Ten Thousand Bat Cave was strange, it was not dangerous to him.
"Don't be afraid."
"… Yes."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Qingxiao raised her right hand under Lu XueQi's shocked gaze. Black flames danced in her palm. "Go."
A wisp of black flame shot out. The moment it touched the ceiling of the cave, it quickly spread out in all directions. It didn't have the temperature of a flame, but the bats that came into contact with the flame didn't even have the chance to scream before they were turned into ashes.
The flames showed no signs of stopping and continued to spread into the depths of the cave. Lu XueQi covered her pink lips and stared at Mu Qingxiao with her beautiful eyes. "What kind of flame is this? I can't feel its temperature, but it gives me a terrifying feeling."
"Your intuition is right. It's called the Nine Heavens Glazed Flame. It's a type of natal flame that can burn everything. Just now, there were outsiders around, so it wasn't convenient for me to use it. Otherwise, you wouldn't have to worry about being afraid."
Hearing Mu Qingxiao say that she wasn't an outsider, Lu XueQi's heart was filled with sweetness. She didn't expect that he chose to separate because of her.
Mu Qingxiao chose to separate from Zhang Xiaofan and the others partly because of Lu XueQi. After all, she was his woman. Secondly, it was because of the Heavenly Book in the Ten Thousand Bat Cave. If others knew about it, it would only add to the trouble.
"Let's slow down for now. After the Nine Heavens Glazed Flame clears up all the bats, we'll speed up."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Lu XueQi naturally had no objections. Without outsiders around, she put away her cold expression and a faint smile appeared on her beautiful face.
"Let's go." After saying that, Mu Qingxiao carried Lu XueQi and with a light tap of her toes, they were already a hundred meters deep.
As the two of them continued to go deeper, Mu Qingxiao had to use her divine sense to explore the path because there were too many tunnels. At this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of fighting in front of her and couldn't help but stop.
"There are people fighting in front of us. Let's go and take a look."
Lu XueQi held Tian Ya tightly. Her beautiful eyes were filled with seriousness as she wondered if it was the demons from the Demonic Sect.
After the two of them passed through several winding tunnels, they finally came to an exit. Looking over, there was indeed a group of people fighting. One of them was Zhang Xiaofan and the others. The other group was the people from Ghost King Sect that they met in Heyang City a few days ago.
The other group of people who were fighting with them were wearing black and red clothes. Their bodies emitted a strong murderous aura. It seemed like they were from the Demonic Sect's Blood Refining Hall.
From Ghost King Sect, the masked woman with the cultivation of Golden Core was fighting with Boss Nian of the Blood Refining Hall. It was hard to tell who was the winner. Zhang Xiaofan and the others dealt with the remaining forces of the Blood Refining Hall rather easily.
"Qingxiao, should we go down and help?"
"No need."
With a flick of Mu Qingxiao's finger, a sharp sword aura pierced toward Elder Nian at lightning speed.
At this moment, Boss Nian was evenly matched with You Qi and had the upper hand. He licked his lips and said, "Vermilion Bird Holy Emissary, we are all from the Saint Sect. We are from the same sect. Why do you have to make things difficult for my Blood Refining Hall? Let me kill these Flirting Men and I'll let you go. How about it?"
"Your Blood Refining Hall has declined. You are just a candle in the wind. What right do you have to order me around?" You Qi panted.
"Humph, you don't know how to appreciate favors."
"Puchi …!"
Boss Nian was about to attack when he felt a sharp pain in his calf. He turned his head and realized that his calf had been pierced. Blood spurted out. He screamed and retreated.
"Who is it? Which bastard sneaked an attack on me!"
Although You Qi didn't know the situation, she knew that Boss Nian was at a disadvantage. How could she let him escape? She unleashed the power of a Golden Core Adept to crush him.
In the dark, Lu XueQi was shocked. She couldn't see through the cultivation of the two people below. They were definitely in the Taiqing State. According to the move just now, Mu Qingxiao could definitely kill them silently. His cultivation was terrifying.
At the very least, it wouldn't be lower than the Taiqing State.
Lu XueQi stared at her lover without blinking. She was a little dazed. She recalled that when they met in the nameless valley, Mu Qingxiao was indeed giving in to her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been injured.
Mu Qingxiao smiled. Although he didn't want to help, he didn't want these people from the Demonic Sect to disturb him. It was enough to buy them some time.
"Let's go. There is something I need in the Blood Dripping Cave."
Lu XueQi nodded obediently. She couldn't see through Mu Qingxiao. Her man was like a mystery. She couldn't see through him. She couldn't help but ask, "Qingxiao, how do you know that there is something you need in the Ancient Bat Cave?"
"Heaven's secret cannot be revealed." Mu Qingxiao smiled mysteriously.
