Chapter 81: Third-Order Demon Cave

Somewhere in the extraterrestrial battlefield, beneath the Xuantian Sect's distress signal.

Two figures stood in mid-air, looking solemnly at a hole below that was emitting demonic energy.

"Roar!"

A continuous stream of various roars echoed from within the hole!

Just as the two were vigilantly watching the hole emitting demonic energy, the sound of air tearing suddenly came from afar.

A figure was rushing toward this side at an extremely fast speed.

In the blink of an eye, that figure had already arrived beside the two, standing on a sword with hands behind his back.

After the two saw the newcomer's figure clearly, they were pleasantly surprised:

"Senior Brother Wu, you've arrived!"

The newcomer was none other than Wu Hong, the only Golden Core Realm cultivator among the group on this trip.

Wu Hong nodded at the two, then frowned as he looked at the hole below, which was continuously emitting demonic energy.

After sensing the level of the demonic energy, Wu Hong felt slightly relieved and said fortunately: "Fortunately, it's only a third-order demon cave!"

For a third-order demon cave, he was still confident in dealing with the demonic creatures inside; if it were fourth-order, he would only be able to report it.

However, this demonic energy was not easy to handle.

Wu Hong looked at the demonic energy continuously emerging from the demon cave, circulated his spiritual power, and tentatively launched an attack.

The white spiritual power and the black demonic energy instantly intertwined, continuously emitting sizzling sounds.

Although a large amount of third-order demonic energy was extinguished by Wu Hong's spiritual power, under the siege of the continuous demonic energy, Wu Hong's spiritual power was also worn away.

Looking at the demon cave that was completely unaffected, Wu Hong did not act rashly but waited quietly for the others to arrive.

Soon, the crowd who saw the Xuantian Sect's distress signal began to arrive one after another.

Among those who arrived, there were not only those brought into the extraterrestrial battlefield by Wu Hong's team but also other Xuantian Sect disciples.

Those who arrived first were basically Xuantian Sect disciples above the late Purple Mansion Realm, including Long Zhiyun.

Those who arrived later were also basically Purple Mansion Realm or nearby Foundation Establishment Realm Xuantian Sect disciples; Ye Qingxiao, carrying the burden Yu Xueqing, was among them.

After the two entered the scene, they stayed quietly on the side and began to observe the current situation.

Except for Long Zhiyun looking at the two from time to time, it did not attract the attention of others.

Ye Qingxiao ignored Long Zhiyun's gaze and looked thoughtfully at the demon cave below, which was continuously emitting demonic energy.

Time passed, and when the number of people who arrived reached over a hundred, Wu Hong scanned the circle and thought to himself:

"It should be about enough."

Afterward, he finally spoke:

"Junior brothers and sisters of the Foundation Establishment Realm, all retreat to the periphery and protect yourselves well."

"Junior brothers and sisters of the Purple Mansion Realm, follow me to launch an attack on the demon cave later."

"The spoils of war will be divided according to the old rules: whoever kills the demonic creature, the demonic energy source left behind by the creature's fall belongs to them, but it is not allowed to snatch prey from each other."

"As for the source of the demon cave, it will be divided according to the contribution of extinguishing the demonic energy."

After speaking, Wu Hong glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice again: "Junior brothers and sisters, do you have any objections?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other for a few moments, then shook their heads slightly, indicating no objections.

The rules for dividing spoils of war mentioned by Wu Hong were basically the default rules for Xuantian Sect disciples venturing into the extraterrestrial battlefield, which were relatively fair, so everyone could basically accept them.

And those Xuantian Sect disciples of the Foundation Establishment Realm began to consciously retreat backward; after all, a third-order demon cave was not something they could touch. Among the retreating crowd was Yu Xueqing, who was still in the late Foundation Establishment Realm.

However, although she retreated, her gaze remained focused on Ye Qingxiao.

This made Long Yunze, who noticed all this, extremely jealous.

After the Xuantian Sect disciples of the Foundation Establishment Realm retreated, Wu Hong raised a hand and was about to order the attack, but was suddenly interrupted by a voice:

"Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, the seventy or eighty Purple Mansion Realm cultivators in the field looked at the person who spoke in unison.

Ye Qingxiao felt the gaze of so many Purple Mansion Realm cultivators for the first time, swallowed his saliva secretly, and cursed in his heart, but kept a smile on his face and continued:

"Um, senior brothers, if I can solve the demonic energy of the demon cave by myself, does the source of the demon cave belong to me alone?"

Hearing Ye Qingxiao's words and looking at his cultivation base of only the early Purple Mansion Realm.

Some sneered, some looked on coldly; anyway, no one was willing to believe that Ye Qingxiao could solve all the demonic energy of a third-order demon cave by himself.

Long Zhiyun seized the opportunity and even mocked: "Ye Qingxiao, don't go crazy here; we don't have time to play with you."

But Ye Qingxiao ignored Long Zhiyun and just cast his gaze toward Wu Hong.

Wu Hong noticed Ye Qingxiao's gaze, looked at him deeply, and finally spoke:

"According to the regulations, it should be so. If Junior Brother can solve the demonic energy of the demon cave by himself, then the source of the demon cave naturally belongs to Junior Brother, but."

Immediately after, Wu Hong changed the subject and continued: "If Junior Brother cannot solve it in a short time, then don't make trouble unreasonably; we don't have that much time to waste."

The implication was very obvious: if they grinded slowly, everyone could extinguish the demonic energy of the demon cave by themselves, it just required a lot of time and energy.

If Ye Qingxiao was relying on this method, then it was unnecessary.

Ye Qingxiao naturally understood the meaning of Wu Hong's words, but he did not retreat, looked at the demon cave below, and smiled:

"Senior brothers, Junior Brother naturally won't make trouble unreasonably. Please wait a moment, senior brothers; let me, Junior Brother, solve the demonic energy of this demon cave!"

After speaking, Ye Qingxiao squeezed the third-order Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pill in his hand and muttered in his heart:

"Qingxuan, you must not trick me, otherwise I will lose face in a big way!"

Thinking of the scene he would have to face if he failed, Ye Qingxiao felt a sense of shame and anxiety.

At the same time, he secretly regretted in his heart: "If I had known, I should have tested the power of the third-order Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pill in advance after coming to the extraterrestrial battlefield."

But since things had come to this, regret was useless. Ye Qingxiao looked at the third-order demon cave continuously emitting demonic energy and felt that one third-order Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pill was a bit unsafe.

So he took out nine more third-order Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills from his storage ring.

After gathering ten, Ye Qingxiao used his spiritual power to control the trajectory and threw the ten third-order Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills toward the third-order demon cave.

Then he ran away, not forgetting to remind before leaving: "Senior brothers, everyone run!"

The Xuantian Sect disciples present, although they didn't know what Ye Qingxiao threw into the demon cave.

But out of caution, no one was willing to risk their lives, and they fled toward the distance one after another.

Among them, Wu Hong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, ran the fastest; almost as soon as Ye Qingxiao ran, he followed closely behind.

Even Long Zhiyun, who didn't like Ye Qingxiao, was no exception; although he said he didn't believe it, his feet didn't run slowly at all.

These days, those who don't believe in evil and are stubborn basically can't even keep their graves.

Who among those who survived to the end wasn't cautious, cautious, and more cautious to survive in the adventures outside?
