Chapter 205: Heaven's Way cycles well; good and evil will eventually be repaid; if you doubt it, look up

The yellow-clad youth let out a light sigh:

What my master, mistress, and senior brothers say are truly words of wisdom; the Demonic Sect's people are indeed all treacherous and deceitful.

I actually think my elders are wrong; they say the orthodox sects are all sinister and false, and in the name of subduing demons and eliminating evil, they leave no means untouched, killing anyone they see with ruthless cruelty, not even sparing the old, weak, women, or children.

The green-clad maiden pretended to size him up, then shook her head:

Seeing you today, I find that your renowned reputation is hard to live up to.

"Cut the nonsense; do as you wish, whether to kill or to cut," the yellow-clad youth said blandly.

"What an iron-willed Qing Yun disciple!" the green-clad maiden laughed softly.

"I won't be hypocritical like you orthodox sects; you just told me to leave, didn't you, so you could monopolize the treasure of the Blood Dripping Cave." the green-clad maiden laughed.

"If you tell me the exact location of the Blood Dripping Cave, I'll let you go. How about that?" the green-clad maiden said.

"Demoness, do you think I was deceiving you when I said the sea is dangerous?" the yellow-clad youth coldly uttered two words:

"Ridiculous."

Just then, the sea's waves suddenly surged, and not far away a woman in black clothing with a light veil over her face appeared, her tone carrying a hint of urgency:

"Biyou, retreat!"

Hardly had the words left her lips when the ever more turbulent sea hurled up waves several zhang high; the sea wind riding the waves blew toward the shore, and the green-clad maiden instinctively swept the yellow-clad youth aside, retreating over ten zhang.

Instantly, on the black sea, what looked like two huge lanterns shedding an eerie green light appeared; as the waves' roar intensified, it became clear these were the gigantic eyes of an unknown monster.

"This creature is actually a Black Water Mystic Snake!"

Seeing the monster with a black back, white belly, green eyes, and a serpentine body over four zhang thick, the masked woman could not hide the fear in her voice:

Hearing this, Biyou gazed at the enormous creature in the distance; even with its lower half submerged in seawater, it still towered fifty or sixty zhang high.

Her expression trembled:

"This monster was said to have been killed by the divine beast Yellow Bird; how could it appear in the Ruthless Sea?"

The yellow-clad youth said leisurely:

"As the saying goes, the heavenly way cycles well; good and evil will ultimately be repaid; if you doubt it, look up—heaven spares no one."

"Though I have been ambushed today and my fate is uncertain, having you demonic sect demonesses join me in going to the Yellow Springs is not a loss."

"Shut up, you really want to die!" Biyou said angrily.

"If we weren't in this predicament, it wouldn't be because you, the demoness, acted cleverly and harmed people through scheming."

The yellow-clad youth's face was as calm as a still lake:

"If you had heeded my advice and left the Dead Spirit Abyss, you wouldn't have drawn the Black Water Mystic Snake's gaze, and wouldn't dare to move at all."

Biyou's expression froze, she looked at the distant monster staring at her hungrily, and said softly:

"Even if I left, you would still surely perish in the snake's jaws."

"Since I dare to stay, I certainly have a way to escape." A hint of mockery appeared on the yellow-clad youth's brow:

"Unlike you, a shameless demoness whose only skill is scheming to harm others."

At that moment, five yellow-clad men heard the disturbance and flew over; the masked woman's eyelid twitched, and before she could call for her subordinates to retreat, the Black Water Mystic Snake, upon noticing the movement, suddenly launched an attack:

Yet a sweep of its tail came lashing out, raising a wall of water several zhang high and spanning tens of zhang wide:

Its violent force, like a tsunami, brought a gale that made it hard to keep one's footing:

Biyou and the masked woman attacked in succession; only to see the white small flower on the yellow-clad youth's person float forth, and a yellow round magical artifact attempt to block the Black Water Mystic Snake's attack:

However, the two magical artifacts could only hold for a few breaths; Biyou took the opportunity to retreat with the yellow-clad youth, the masked woman likewise withdrew swiftly, and together with her five subordinates they fled quickly:

"Demoness, you actually kindly brought me along to escape; you wouldn't be hoping that when we face a desperate situation, you'd toss me aside to secure a slim chance for yourself, would you?"

The green-clad maiden, gripping the yellow-clad youth as they flew through the air, seemed exasperated and said:

"You really guessed right; shut up now, or I'll tear you to pieces right now."

After the Black Water Mystic Snake's strike missed, it immediately unleashed an even more violent force, making the water wall it raised even more terrifying:

Had it not been for the masked woman shielding Biyou with her magical artifact, Biyou would have already been swept by the giant tail, and even if she didn't die she would have suffered severe injuries:

But after the masked woman, while protecting Biyou, was submerged in the towering waves, the danger of imminent death befell once again:

"There is an old tree on the right side of the cliff ahead; if you destroy it, you may have a chance to escape."

Just as Biyou felt there was no way to escape, the yellow-clad youth suddenly spoke:

"Bang!"

Biyou used the white small flower to shatter the old tree, revealing a modest entrance; she eagerly seized the yellow-clad youth and entered the cliff cave:

Outside, the Black Water Mystic Snake seemed to feel its effort was wasted, and in anger it lashed the cliff with its tail:

"Boom—" it shattered half the mountain, and the cave was instantly buried:

"Demoness, we are temporarily safe; when do you intend to capture me?"

Upon hearing that, Biyou, disgusted, loosened her grip:

"If it weren't for seeing that you, a Qing Yun disciple, still have a bit of conscience, I would have already thrown you to the monster."

"My kindness has been repaid with betrayal." the yellow-clad youth said slowly:

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't now be in danger of being buried alive."

"You"

"What 'you'? Isn't what I said the truth?"

The yellow-clad youth took the lead, stepping deep into the cave to check the situation; Biyou, finding herself at a loss for words, involuntarily followed:

When the two reached the end, they saw a water curtain hanging straight down from the cave ceiling, forming a small pool:

"All right, we can just wait to die." the yellow-clad youth leaned against the stone wall, feigning readiness to die:

Seeing this, Biyou stared blankly and asked:

"You're just giving up like that?"

I still feel some soreness and weakness in my body, the rocks at the cave entrance you still can't move, inside the cave there's no way out everywhere, if I don't give up, what else can I do?

The yellow-clad youth let out a faint sigh:

I never imagined that one day I would actually die alongside a demonic sect enchantress; truly, fate toys with people.

I also never imagined that one day I would again be buried alive. Biyao, not knowing what she was thinking, her expression instantly fell.

After a long silence inside the cave, Biyao couldn't help but speak:

What are you thinking about?

The yellow-clad youth still kept his eyes closed, speaking in a leisurely manner:

I'm thinking that, as my life draws to its final moment, there is a demonic sect enchantress before me, and I wonder whether I should emulate someone's actions and carry out a sneak attack.

Biyao gave a soft chuckle:

You still have at least a few hours before you fully recover; now you can carefully think about how to carry out a sneak attack.

The yellow-clad youth suddenly opened his eyes, speaking without preamble:

You said earlier you were looking for something called the Blood-dripping Cave; do you think the place we're in now might be that Blood-dripping Cave?

Biyao's pupils contracted slightly, and she couldn't help but look around, seeing seven red stones, each about the size of a palm, inlaid in the stone wall above the pool.

She immediately leapt into the air, observing closely while she couldn't help but curse:

You black-hearted old devil, actually building the Blood-dripping Cave in such a place; no wonder we've searched dozens of times over eight hundred years and still couldn't find it.

Soon after, Biyao pulled, struck, lifted, smashed, and tugged at the red stones, but still couldn't open any secret cave.

The yellow-clad youth sighed:

Alas, thinking of my peerless talent, yet being ambushed by a foolish girl like you, makes me want to die even more in this mountain cave.

Biyao suddenly fell down:

You mean, you've already discovered the mechanism to open the secret cave?
