Chapter 362: Bai Yuxian

Half a day later, a few sword lights fell from the sky above Black Stone Valley. The Xiaoyao Sect crowd who went to pursue the demon cultivators returned to Black Stone Valley again.

Li Yungong chased the red-clothed man and the two for hundreds of miles, but because the other party had some extraordinary means of escaping, he finally returned here without success. Until now, his face was still in a somewhat gloomy expression.

Seeing that this Li Mu seemed to still be somewhat unhappy, Bai Yunhua could only smile and comfort him: "Li Mu, although we didn't catch these demon cubs this time, we can at least be considered to have prevented them from destroying the Demon-Suppressing Tower, which can be considered as having already completed the mission."

"Hmph! It is just a pity that I forgot to borrow the Dragon Bone Boat from Master when I went out this time. Otherwise, how could these few demon cultivators escape from my hands."

The other few Xiaoyao Sect cultivators who were traveling together, hearing this confident remark of his, also did not dare to say much and could only smile and nod in agreement.

"Strange, how could the restriction we set at the cave entrance be destroyed? Everyone be careful, it seems that someone else has gone in here." Just as the crowd walked to the entrance of that underground cave, a tall and thin man walking at the very front suddenly shouted loudly to the crowd behind him.

Before going to pursue those few demon cultivators, Bai Yunhua and the others did not have time to repair the formation at the cave entrance and could only set up a restriction at the cave entrance first to prevent other low-tier cultivators or demon beasts from entering by mistake.

Hearing the tall and thin man shout like this, the few people behind hurriedly went forward to check together and discovered that it was indeed as he said; the restriction at the cave entrance had already been broken by someone for a period of time. Seeing this situation, the crowd's faces changed one after another, and they could not help but begin to worry.

"This restriction seems to have been broken for a period of time. Let's go in and see if there is anything wrong with the Demon-Suppressing Tower first. No matter what, we must try our best to prevent that demon from escaping. Otherwise, the sect will be in trouble!"

After Bai Yunhua finished speaking, he took out a silver iron fan and walked into the cave first. Li Yungong glanced at the few people on the side who were still somewhat afraid and followed closely behind Bai Yunhua, walking into it with big strides. The other few people saw that the two senior brothers had already expressed their stance, and no one dared to flee before the battle in this situation, so they all plucked up their courage and followed.

After arriving at the underground cave, Bai Yunhua, who was walking at the very front, saw a somewhat familiar white figure standing in front of the Demon-Suppressing Tower from afar. After recognizing this person, his tense expression immediately relaxed, and he quickly came to this person's side and bowed and saluted.

"Junior greets Uncle Bai!"

Li Yungong and the others behind also recognized this white figure and hurriedly followed and walked forward quickly to salute.

Bai Yuxian, who was in plain white clothes, turned around and glanced at the few people, then her gaze fell on Li Yungong, who had the highest cultivation base among the few.

"Are you Brother Jin's closing disciple?"

"Junior Li Yungong, Master is True Person Jin Yuan."

Facing Bai Yuxian's question, Li Yungong, who had been very arrogant in front of the crowd before, now also had a great change in attitude. With his head lowered, he respectfully answered her question.

Li Yungong's thunder spirit root talent, although it was already among the top-tier talents in the Xiaoyao Sect, in front of this sect's only heavenly spirit root genius cultivator, he still very carefully put away his arrogance.

Bai Yuxian looked at Li Yungong calmly and said: "I heard earlier that Brother Jin accepted a thunder spirit root disciple, it should be you. Seeing that your cultivation base has already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, you should also be preparing for Core Formation soon. You don't stay honestly in the sect, why did you come here to perform the mission?"

"Brother Ye and the others received Brother Xu's request for help letter a few days ago. It happened that Uncle Li was in seclusion and not there, and the manpower in the Law Enforcement Hall was somewhat insufficient now. I was invited by Brother Ye and the others to help, and just happened to be free, so I came over."

"The Law Enforcement Hall is insufficient in manpower, that is also something the Law Enforcement Hall should worry about. What is most important for you now is to prepare for Core Formation as soon as possible. Other matters of the sect will naturally be managed by us elders."

"Uncle Bai's reprimand is correct. Yungong has been taught. From now on, I will strictly restrain myself after returning to the sect and will not go out at will before Core Formation!" Hearing Bai Yuxian's reminder, Li Yungong hurriedly nodded and agreed. Although his personality was somewhat arrogant, he was not a stupid person who did not know what was good for him.

After Bai Yuxian gave Li Yungong a few pointers, she shifted her gaze to Bai Yunhua and asked with a puzzled face: "You should have arrived here before me. What happened? How was the seal of the Demon-Suppressing Tower destroyed? Tell me first!"

"The seal of the Demon-Suppressing Tower was destroyed? How could this be?"

Hearing Bai Yuxian say that there was a problem with the seal of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, Bai Yunhua and the crowd were shocked one after another. They raised their heads and looked carefully, only then noticing that the changes around the Demon-Suppressing Tower were earth-shaking compared to before.

Now this piece of land was full of broken walls and ruins. Although the stone tower that sealed the demon Xiao Huang was still there, it was no longer its original appearance. There was also something somewhat blackish crawling on the top of the stone tower, and it could not be seen clearly what it was.

After Bai Yunhua approached the Demon-Suppressing Tower, he recognized that this was a half-body corpse that looked somewhat ugly and seemed to have been burned by fire. The upper body looked like it had just crawled out of the tower, and the lower body was still sealed in the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

At first, Bai Yunhua thought that the one who destroyed the restriction at the entrance was Bai Yuxian, who had arrived here. Only now did he know that after they left here, quite a few things seemed to have happened in the underground cave. At least there had been a very intense battle, otherwise, the surroundings of the Demon-Suppressing Tower would not have been beaten into such a broken appearance.

"Uncle Bai, before we left here to pursue those few demon cultivators, I checked the Demon-Suppressing Tower here and there was no abnormality. As for what happened later, we are not clear either."

"Judging from the situation at the scene, it seems that other demon cultivators entered here and destroyed the seal to release Old Demon Xiao, but I don't know what happened later. Old Demon Xiao seems to have fought a battle with this demon, and finally still did not escape from here."

Bai Yunhua first told Bai Yuxian everything about the encounter between them and Du Yucheng and the red-clothed man and the few demon cultivators, and then combined with some situations he saw after returning, he said some of his own guesses.

"According to what you said, there were two groups of demon cultivators who entered here, and they also fought each other. It looks like not only Xiao Huang's disciples came, but also his old rivals. This can be considered a coincidence that helped us prevent Xiao Huang from breaking free."

"Although this demon's physical body has already passed away and can't make much of a splash, his primordial spirit is still very likely to have escaped. Next, your Law Enforcement Hall should pay attention and see if there are any possessed cultivators in the vicinity. Once discovered, notify the sect to investigate thoroughly immediately."
