Chapter 362: Bai Yuxian's Arrival
Half a day later, a few sword lights fell from the sky above Black Stone Valley, and the Carefree Sect crowd who went to chase the demonic cultivators returned to Black Stone Valley again.
Li Yungong chased the man in red clothes and the other person for hundreds of miles, but because the other party had some extraordinary means of escaping, he returned here without success. His face was still in a somewhat gloomy expression until now.
Seeing that this Senior Brother Li still seemed somewhat unhappy, Bai Yunhua could only smile and comfort him: "Senior Brother Li, 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 task."
"Hmph! It's 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 demonic cultivators escape from my hands."
The other Carefree Sect cultivators who were traveling together stood on the side and heard Li Yungong's confident words, but they didn't dare to say anything more, and could only nod and echo a few words with a smile.
"Strange, how could the restriction we set at the cave entrance be destroyed? Everyone be careful, it seems that someone has gone in here again." Just as the crowd walked to the entrance of that underground cave, a tall and thin man walking in the front suddenly shouted loudly to the crowd behind him.
Before chasing those few demonic cultivators, Bai Yunhua and the others didn't have time to repair the formation at the cave entrance, so they could only set a restriction at the cave entrance first to prevent other low-level cultivators or demon beasts from entering by mistake.
Hearing the tall and thin man shout like this, the people behind hurriedly stepped forward to check it together and found that it was exactly as he said, the restriction at the cave entrance had already been broken by someone. Seeing this situation, the crowd's faces changed one after another, and they couldn't help but start to worry.
"This restriction being broken seems to have been 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 scanned the few people who were still somewhat afraid on the side, followed closely behind Bai Yunhua, and walked toward the inside with big strides. The others saw that the two senior brothers had already expressed their stance, and no one dared to desert in this situation, so they all plucked up their courage and followed.
After arriving at the underground cave, Bai Yunhua, who was walking in the front, saw a somewhat familiar white figure standing in front of the Demon-Suppressing Tower from afar. After recognizing this person, his tight expression immediately relaxed, and he quickly came to this person's side and bowed to salute.
"Disciple greets Senior Uncle Bai!"
Li Yungong and the others behind also recognized this white figure and hurriedly followed up to bow and salute quickly.
Bai Yuxian, who was in plain white clothes, turned around and scanned the few people, then immediately waved her hand to signal them to get up, and then her gaze fell on Li Yungong, who had the highest cultivation base among the few.
"Are you Senior Brother Jin's closing disciple?"
"Disciple Li Yungong, the master is Golden Origin True Person."
Facing Bai Yuxian's inquiry, Li Yungong, who had been very arrogant in front of the crowd before, now had a great change in attitude, lowering his head and respectfully answering her question.
Li Yungong's variant spiritual root talent, although it was already among the top-tier talents in the Carefree Sect, in front of this only heavenly spiritual root genius cultivator in the sect, he still carefully put away his arrogance.
Bai Yuxian looked at Li Yungong calmly and said: "I heard earlier that Senior Brother Jin accepted a thunder spiritual root disciple. It should be you. Looking at your cultivation base, it has already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. I think you should also be preparing for Golden Core formation soon. You don't stay in the sect honestly, why did you come here to execute the mission?"
"Senior Brother Ye and the others received Junior Brother Xu's request for help a few days ago. It happened that Senior Uncle Li was in seclusion and not there, and there was a shortage of manpower in the Law Enforcement Hall now. I was invited by Senior Brother Ye and the others to help, and I just happened to have time, so I came over."
"There is a shortage of manpower in the Law Enforcement Hall, that is also a matter for the Law Enforcement Hall to worry about. What is most important for you now is to prepare for Golden Core formation as soon as possible. Other matters of the sect have us elders to manage."
"Senior Uncle Bai's reprimand is correct, Yun Gong has been taught. In the future, I will strictly restrain myself when I return to the sect, and I will not go out at will before Golden 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 didn't 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 look of doubt: "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, looked up and checked carefully, and only then noticed that the changes around the Demon-Suppressing Tower were earth-shaking compared to before.
Now this piece of land is everywhere in a scene of broken walls and ruins. Although the stone tower that sealed the demon Xiao Huang is still there, it is no longer its original appearance. There is also something somewhat blackish crawling on the top of the stone tower, and it is not clear what it is.
After Bai Yunhua approached the Demon-Suppressing Tower, he recognized that this was a half-body corpse that looked somewhat ugly as if it had 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 cave entrance was Bai Yuxian who had arrived here. Until now, he knew that after they left here, a lot of things seemed to have happened in the underground cave, at least there had been a very fierce fight, otherwise the surroundings of the Demon-Suppressing Tower would not have been beaten into such a broken state.
"Senior Uncle Bai, before we left here to go and track those few demonic cultivators, I checked the Demon-Suppressing Tower here and there was nothing unusual. As for what happened later, we are not clear either."
"Judging from the situation at the scene, it seems that other demonic cultivators entered here, destroyed the seal and released the Old Demon Xiao, but I don't know what happened, Old Demon Xiao seemed to have fought a fierce battle with this demon, and in the end, he still didn't escape from here."
Bai Yunhua first told Bai Yuxian about the encounter between them and Du Yucheng and the few demonic cultivators in red clothes, and then combined with some situations he saw after returning, he said some of his own guesses.
"According to what you said, there are two groups of people who entered here, and they are also fighting each other. It seems that not only Xiao Huang's sect members came, but also his old rivals. This can also be considered a coincidence that helped us prevent Xiao Huang from getting out of trouble."
"Although the physical body of this demon has already sat down and can't make much trouble, his primordial spirit is still very likely to have escaped. Next, your Law Enforcement Hall should pay attention to see if there are any possessed cultivators nearby. Once discovered, notify the sect to investigate thoroughly immediately."
