Chapter 46: The Evil Spirit Cave
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Four shadows approached the Evil Spirit Valley, all covered in claw marks and blood.
“That Ye Mo sure is vicious! We would’ve had a hard time if you hadn’t used that Attack Charm in time, Brother Tianqiao,” Ye Dalong said.
“That charm was given to me by the clan head, but it was intended for the Yin Poison Snake. Now Ye Mo has forced me to use it for other purposes. I’ll never forgive him!” Ye Tianqiao said in a cold tone while recalling what they had been through.
Even though there were three Charm Masters in all of Limestone City, all of them were only a Phase 1 Charm Master. They would only create charms for their own clan and would never sell them to other clans.
To martial artists of Limestone City, charms were considered treasures.
“Ye Mo just went into this creepy valley. Should we follow him?” The Spirit Cultivating Fifth Realm disciple asked. Ye Zhantian used to lead a team of martial artists to this particular valley, but the party never entered it, except for Ye Zhantian. Yet it was not long before Ye Zhantian retreated with a disturbed expression.
Ye Tianqiao and his teammates had heard the stories, and they understood that the Evil Energy lurking around the valley could penetrate a person’s body and consume their Spiritual Energy. Most martial artists that entered this valley never returned.
“This might be a threat, but that doesn’t mean I can’t do anything about it,” Ye Tianqiao said and waved the iron fan in his hand, creating a ma.s.sive green-colored Fan Projection that could cover the ground and block the sunlight. The Fan Projection swung down and blew a wind on everything on the ground. The red Evil Energy was blown away by the force.
It was like the whole place was struck by a typhoon, blowing everything in its vicinity away.
This was what a Spirit Cultivating Seventh Realm was capable of.
“What power! Brother Tianqiao, you must’ve held back when you fought Ye Mo just now, am I right?”
“The young master could never defeat you! It was only bad luck that you did not enter one of the Three Major Alliances back then.”
“This valley is covered by mountains in four directions, and this is the only exit. Let’s go after Ye Mo. We’ll get him this time!”
The four disciples went straight into the valley searching for Ye Mo.
“That must be the Evil Spirit Cave. The previous owner of the Formation-Breaking Spear must’ve left some treasures here,” Ye Mo said as he saw the cave and ran towards it. Even though the cave looked normal, it was filled with Evil Energy. All of the Evil Energy in the valley originated from this cave.
“This valley is filled with Evil Energy. Even if it’s not very ominous, normal people still wouldn’t dare to enter here. Well, I suppose those disciples from the Ye Clan wouldn’t do anything even if they caught up.”
The Rising Dragon Pillar inside Ye Mo could absorb every kind of energy there was. Even though the Evil Energy was the energy of death, it was still powerful energy to master. Some of the most powerful martial artists would choose to train with this energy instead, merging the Evil Energy with their Spirit Energy. There were no records of where the Evil Energy came from, but it was still a type of energy the could be used.
All of the Evil Energy that had penetrated into Ye Mo’s body was instantly absorbed by the Rising Dragon Pillar.
“I wonder how many Dragon Energies I could awaken if I were to absorb all of the Evil Energy in this cave…” Ye Mo murmured. He quickened his pace and stopped in front of the cave’s entrance. The cave was filled with red Evil Energy and a huge pile of white bones was scattered around the entrance. Only lights as red as blood could be seen inside the cave as Ye Mo stood at the entrance, his blood pumping from excitement.
What treasure is lurking inside this cave? Why would it emit such an evil aura? I could feel the death, the evil, the killing intent from it! Ye Mo thought.
“Ye Mo! You’ve no place to hide now!” Ye Tianqiao shouted just as Ye Mo was about to enter the cave. Raging winds rampaged throughout the valley and blew away all the Evil Energy.
“How was my present?” Ye Mo asked as he scanned the four disciples coldly, his eyes stopping on the strongest in the party, Ye Tianqiao.
Ye Tianqiao closed his fan and said coldly, “What can a group of Wind Wolves do? There’s no place for you to run anymore, don’t even think of fleeing!”
All four of them started to close in on Ye Mo. With Ye Tianqiao who had reached the Spirit Cultivating Seventh Realm on their side, they were sure that they could kill Ye Mo right on the spot. If they could get their hands on the Formation-Breaking Spear, they could easily defeat the Yin Poison Snake and take the Yin Poison Gra.s.s.
“Follow me if you dare!” Ye Mo challenged and ran straight into the Evil Spirit Cave, disappearing into the red light.
“Is he stupid?!” The Fourth Realm disciple shouted.
“Brother Tianqiao, should we follow him? He’s not afraid of the Evil Energy in the cave,” the Fifth Realm disciple asked.
Ye Tianqiao slapped the Fifth Realm disciple and scolded, “Even the Martial Arts Division head Ye Zhantian would not even dare enter the cave. Are you that eager to meet death?”
“He’s on death’s row now. This cave is the source of the Evil Energy around here. Even True Energy Realm martial artist wouldn’t even dare to step into this cave.” Ye Tianqiao smirked. He thought that Ye Mo had ran into the cave because he had no other choices.
For thousands of years, people have come to this valley only to return empty-handed.
“It’s a pity that we can never get the Formation-Breaking Spear ever again,” the Fourth Realm disciple said.
Ye Tianqiao scanned the surroundings and noticed that the Evil Energy began to cover the whole valley again. “We’re still not sure if Ye Mo will die in there or not. Let’s retreat to the entrance and wait. We’ll go back if he still hasn’t come out after a day,” Ye Tianqiao said.
The Evil Energy began to cover the whole valley, forcing the four disciples to retreat.
They believed that Ye Mo would probably die inside the cave, but Ye Tianqiao suggested waiting a one day, just in case Ye Mo actually made it out alive.
They could tend to their injuries and return to their original states. They could also prevent Ye Mo from escaping if he miraculously survived. They still had their eyes on the Formation-Breaking Spear in Ye Mo’s possession.
