Chapter 1267
When Su Xuan left Xiang Yutian's place of retreat and stepped back into the Skull Cave.
A faint sound immediately entered his ears. Vaguely, he could tell it was Shi Qingxuan's voice. Besides her, there was another person by her side. The two were walking cautiously in this Bat Cave. Su Xuan sensed carefully again and discovered that, apart from these two, there were four people chasing them from behind.
Not long after, those four people caught up to these two.
These four were three men and one woman. After catching up to Shi Qingxuan and the other person, one of them spoke: "Little slut, you actually dared to use a fake relic to trick us. Where exactly is the real relic?"
Facing the other party's interrogation, Shi Qingxuan did not show any signs of nervousness.
"The real Evil Emperor Relic is of course with me. If you have the ability, come down and take it! I'm leaving!"
While saying this, she whispered to the person beside her, and then headed toward the deeper part of the cave.
Seeing that Shi Qingxuan was about to escape, the four immediately pursued relentlessly.
In the process, Shi Qingxuan used the sound of her flute to incite the many bats in the cave, and with the help of the person beside her, finally succeeded in killing one person.
However, the death of one of them only further incited the ferocity of the remaining three.
They knew that after being led into this cave by that little slut, they had become turtles in a jar. At this point, there was only one way to go: find a way to capture that little slut and torture the whereabouts of the Evil Emperor Relic out of her.
The three continuously exerted their power, dealing with the swarms of bats while killing their way toward Shi Qingxuan.
Seeing the three were so fierce, the middle-aged man beside Shi Qingxuan immediately took action. Unfortunately, his strength was inferior to these three; being able to kill one earlier was entirely due to catching him off guard.
At this moment, facing the three who were going all out, he immediately fell into a disadvantage.
Seeing this situation, Shi Qingxuan secretly lamented. After the accident happened, she had ultimately decided to set up a chess game in this Evil Emperor Temple to find a way to eradicate these four evil villains. In the process, she had even waited for her helper.
As a result, she had not expected these four to be more difficult to deal with than imagined.
They were worthy of being the disciples of the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian.
After setting a trap to kill Ding Jiuzhong, the "Great Emperor," it instead further incited the ferocity of the remaining three: You Niaojuan, Zhou Laotan, and Jin Huanzhen.
Seeing this, Shi Qingxuan decided to trigger the mechanism to seal the cave. She decided to call her helper over first.
Just at this moment, a calm voice sounded.
"It really is lively!"
This voice was not very loud, but it possessed an extraordinary penetrating power, immediately entering the ears of the five people who were still alive.
"Who is it? Get out here!"
The leader of Xiang Yutian's four great disciples, "Going Against the Current" You Niaojuan, immediately spoke sharply. Because he had been attacked by bats, he had some injuries on his body, and now that he learned there were others hiding here, he immediately spoke angrily.
In the Demonic Sect, You Niaojuan's strength was not the strongest, but he could barely rank in the bottom of the Demonic Sect's eight great experts, possessing a place. After he spoke angrily, the man who had retreated to Shi Qingxuan's side immediately felt a deep chill. He could not help but have a feeling that if he had attacked this person earlier instead of Ding Jiuzhong, wanting to kill the other party would likely not have been so easy.
Just after You Niaojuan's voice came out, the voice of the person in the dark also sounded suddenly: "I will give you one chance to reorganize your words!"
You Niaojuan immediately became even more furious: "A person playing god, do you think I can't find you?"
While saying this, one hand held his weapon, a single-legged bronze man weighing a hundred jin, killing all the bats attacking him, while the other hand formed a palm and struck out. In an instant, a massive palm force swept toward where the voice came from.
However, before it could get close to the other party, the palm force suddenly disappeared.
The sigh of the person in the dark sounded again, with a sense of nostalgia and emotion in the words.
"Meeting the Emperor without bowing, the true life is already lost; on the reincarnation stele, your name is inscribed. One step, one kowtow on the road to rebirth, sins are halved to protect your true spirit!"
"I can give you one more chance!"
"Seeking death!" You Niaojuan only felt that the other party's words were somewhat inexplicable. He looked at Zhou Laotan and Jin Huanzhen on the side and spoke in a deep voice: "Let's join forces!"
Zhou Laotan and Jin Huanzhen also understood that after falling into this Bat Cave, only by joining forces with the other party would they have a chance to get out.
The two immediately took action, helping You Niaojuan block the bat attacks, while Zhou Laotan held the single-legged bronze man, his figure leaping out rapidly, smashing toward where the voice came from.
"Those who seek their own death, even Heaven cannot save!"
The person in the dark sighed. The next instant, You Niaojuan's body flew horizontally like a kite with a broken string. By the time he landed beside Zhou Laotan and Jin Huanzhen, his breath had already ceased; he was clearly dead.
This scene shocked Zhou Laotan and Jin Huanzhen, who were struggling to block the bat attacks, to the extreme.
The next instant, an invisible ripple seemed to spread out.
The many bats manipulated by Shi Qingxuan's flute sound simultaneously gave up attacking them and scurried back into the many caves, disappearing just like that. Only the many bat corpses on the ground proved the existence of the attack earlier.
Zhou Laotan and Jin Huanzhen were horrified by this scene.
Just at this moment, another faint sound of footsteps rang out.
With the help of the faint light, the few saw a figure walking over slowly.
After seeing this figure, Shi Qingxuan did not have any surprise. She had known all along that Su Xuan was in seclusion in this Evil Emperor Temple, and had thought earlier about leading these four people to Su Xuan's place of seclusion. Su Xuan was unfathomable and might be able to easily resolve these four people.
But in the end, she did not do so. She had not expected that Su Xuan would take the initiative to appear.
The middle-aged man beside Shi Qingxuan was also somewhat shocked after seeing this figure, only because he was very familiar with this person. The day this person gave him and Kou Zhong a stroke of fortune, he had disappeared. He had not expected to see the other party again here.
That's right, the middle-aged man was exactly Xu Ziling.
At this moment, he was like he was at the Jingnian Zen Temple that day, using a human skin mask made by Lu Miaoji to cover his true face.
After seeing Su Xuan, Xu Ziling wanted to speak but hesitated.
Su Xuan did not pay him any mind, but instead looked at Zhou Laotan and Jin Huanzhen.
Feeling Su Xuan's gaze landing on them, these two were somewhat nervous.
