The Soul Subduing Cave was located in a remote area, and there were no signs of human activity within a radius of 3,000 miles. Usually, due to the murky demonic aura rising from the cave, the surrounding demonic beasts would stay far away to avoid being infected.
However, there were exceptions to everything. When Yi Tian's Sky-Patrolling Battleship approached the Soul Subduing Cave, his Divine Telekinesis detected that there were still many demonic mutated beasts remaining in the area.
The closer they were to the entrance of the Soul Subduing Cave, the higher the level of the demonic mutated beasts. Yi Tian, who was sitting in the main cabin, was discussing with the others about the next task assignment. Suddenly, he used his Divine Telekinesis and interrupted everyone, "There's something strange 2,500 miles ahead and 300 miles to the left. Shall we turn around and take a look?"
Everyone present immediately revealed a look of suspicion. Obviously, they had some doubts about these words. Qing Lianyun, who was sitting on the side, said, "Do as he says. I believe Junior Brother Yi."
Deng Ru and the others, who wanted to argue, shut their mouths obediently.
The Sky-Patrolling Battleship in the air immediately deviated from its course and headed toward the direction Yi Tian pointed out. Soon, they arrived above the predetermined location.
Then, the six of them got out of the cabin and steadied themselves in the air. Xiang Donghui put away the Sky-Patrolling Battleship and asked, "Where is it?"
Yi Tian pointed below and said, "There's something going on there. Shall we go down and take a look?"
Without waiting for the others to respond, he descended vertically with Hua Yuxin and arrived nearby in ten breaths. He glanced at the ground and found that it was the corpse of an adult Kui Bull.
Blood was splattered all over the ground. Obviously, it was beaten to death. There was a big hole in its forehead, and the demonic core had been taken out. Judging from the aura of its body, it was about the beginning of Level Eight.
Gong Tengfei came up from behind and quickly checked the corpse. He said with a hint of joy on his face, "The fatal injury was caused by Murong Zhenghong's Natal Spiritual Weapon, the Flying Star Shuttle. The preliminary judgment is that this Kui Bull died less than six hours ago. The demonic core was taken away. It must be collected as a medicinal ingredient for refining elixirs. "
Xiang Donghui's expression also changed slightly. He motioned to Gong Teng and turned to look at Yi Tian with a different look. After calming himself down, he asked, "Junior Brother Yi, if that's the case, let's speed up. I reckon that Murong Zhenghong has already entered the Soul Suppressing Devil Cave."
Hearing this, Yi Tian replied with a solemn expression, "This matter should not be delayed. This place is only three to four hundred li away from the entrance of the Soul Suppressing Devil Cave. Everyone, please follow me."
After saying that, he reached out and picked up Hua Yuxin and flew in that direction. The other four didn't say anything and hurriedly followed behind him.
After arriving at the entrance of the Soul Suppressing Devil Cave, he found that the surroundings were a bit messy and there were slight spiritual pressure fluctuations near the entrance.
Yi Tian immediately raised his hand to stop everyone from advancing. Then, he formed a seal in the air with his hands and used his Eye Sorcery to stare at the entrance. He said, "There is indeed something strange. Murong Zhenghong set up a warning formation at the entrance. If we force our way in, the people inside will immediately receive the signal and prepare to retreat. "
"As expected of a ruthless woman. She is so careful about everything. No wonder she can control the Murong family so tightly," Deng Ru said.
"Cut the crap. You are a formation expert. Do you have a way to break it?" Xiang Donghui said impatiently.
"Let's give it a try." Yi Tian didn't say anything else. He flipped his hand and took out four formation breaking awls. Then, he found a few nodes of the warning formation and threw the awls in his hand.
He muttered, "Open." The four formation breaking awls suddenly hit the void near the entrance of the cave, creating a series of ripples.
Following that, the four Law Awls flashed with spiritual light and connected to each other, forming a one-foot-long opening. Yi Tian jumped down and said, "Follow me." Then, he rushed into the opening.
Everyone behind him was delighted when they saw this and hurriedly rushed into the opening. Hua Yuxin followed Qing Lianyun's arrangement. At least Yi Tian seemed to be getting along well with Hua Yuxin, so he felt more at ease.
Yi Tian pointed at the cave in front of him and said, "Let's go in. We need someone who is good at tracking to lead the way."
Xiang Donghui nodded slightly and was the first to enter. He said, "Junior Brother Yi, follow me and see if there is a hidden formation in front. Junior Brother Gong and Junior Brother Deng, stay in the middle and be ready to support at any time. Senior Sister Qing, take care of Hua Yuxin. "
Although Xiang Donghui's cultivation was not the strongest, he was good at dispatching people. Yi Tian couldn't help but have a good impression of him.
After entering the cave, they could clearly sense that someone had been here before. Xiang Donghui didn't look happy, but his eyes were full of excitement. He walked in the first position and slowly explored the cave. The width of the cave's passage was good enough for two people to walk side by side.
However, if they encountered danger like this, they would be limited by the terrain and unable to use their strength. Xiang Donghui walked in front for a while before arriving at a large stone room. At this time, his divine sense was blocked by the Demonic Qi and couldn't explore too far. Under these circumstances, he had no choice but to face the many forks in the path at the other end of the stone room.
Fortunately, Yi Tian pointed to the right place based on his memory of the past and said, "Walk a few miles from that path and you will reach the Crystal Blight Butterfly's nest."
Just as he was about to take a step forward, he heard Xiang Donghui's voice. "They've split up. Murong Zhenghong took one path with two attendants, while the other three demon children took the other three paths."
"Is that so? Senior Brother Xiang, can you be sure which path Murong Zhenghong took?" Yi Tian said in surprise.
"You don't know, Senior Brother Xiang is the best tracking expert in the Discipline Department. In this aspect, only Duan Yi of the Feiyu Sword Sect can exchange blows with him," Deng Ru said.
Hearing this, Xiang Donghui revealed a proud expression, but in the blink of an eye, he saw Yi Tian's expression become more and more serious. Just as he was about to speak, Yi Tian asked, "You said Duan Yi is also good at tracking?"
"Yes, his aura tracking technique is similar to my secret technique," Xiang Donghui said.
"Oh no, we overlooked him," Yi Tian said in a low voice, "Let's speed up. Duan Yi and his men might arrive soon."
At this moment, Xiang Donghui's expression changed as if he had thought of something. He hurriedly replied, "Are you saying that Duan Yi might be able to detect our whereabouts?"
"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty. If I knew about his background, I wouldn't have chosen to go to Feiyu City. For people like us, once we show our faces in Feiyu City's teleportation hall, Duan Yi will catch up to us, "Yi Tian replied.
Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed something. He took out a formation plate and gently activated it. A blurry image appeared on it. Everyone present looked over and found that it was the image of the mountain where the Kui Bull died. At this moment, there were ten cultivators searching the Kui Bull's corpse. The ones in the lead were Jian Shaoqing and Duan Yi, as well as Murong Longcheng, who they had just met not long ago.
