Chapter 915: Infiltration and Precautions

Lou Mu Yan three successfully arrived at Qi Yan Mountain two days later.

At this time, there were demon cultivators of the Nine-Headed Hydra Clan hidden around the periphery of Qi Yan Mountain. They monitored and controlled Qi Yan Mountain under the orders of the Nine-Headed Hydra King.

Seeing Jiu You appear, they were all very excited.

How fantastic that their Young Lord didn’t die!

“Greetings to Young Lord.” The demon cultivators who were lurking came out to greet Jiu You one after another.

Jiu You nodded to the demon cultivators, then asked with an easy-going smile: “Has there been any unusual movements in Qi Yan Mountain recently?”

“Before, demon cultivators from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan would come over from time to time, but we sent them all away.” A commander guard stood up and replied.

The Young Lord of the Nine-Headed Hydra Clan was attacked by an unknown demonic beast here, so there was good reason to monitor this place. Unless the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan wanted to start a war right now, then they could only temporarily retreat.

“Mm, you’ve done a good job.” Jiu You encouraged.

“Young Lord, are you going to go into the mountain?” The commander guard asked.

Jiu You nodded, with a bit of sharpness in his voice: “This Young Lord was accidentally attacked by those demonic beasts before, this time I must find it and tear it to pieces.”

The demon cultivators of the Nine-Headed Hydra Clan all agreed with Jiu You’s decision—the demonic beasts who dared attack their Young Lord deserved to die.

“We are willing to follow Young Lord to capture those demonic beasts.” The guards of the Nine-Headed Hydra Clan said in unison with indignancy and passion.

Jiu You said with a smile: “If there are too many demon cultivators entering, it will be easy to startle the snake. Stay on the periphery, that way, if those demonic beasts rush out, you can all intercept it.”

They had an important responsibility entering here, and it was also very dangerous. Naturally, he wouldn’t bring these loyal demon cultivators of his clan in to die.

“As ordered!”

Jiu You instructed the Nine-Headed Hydra Clan demon cultivators a few more things, then took Lou Mu Yan two to the cave where he was attacked before.

This time, their main purpose was to investigate, so Lou Mu Yan didn’t call Lou Mu Bai and the others together.

When they were about to reach the cave, Lou Mu Yan suddenly felt faint heart palpitations.

She furrowed her brows and said: “I have a bad feeling. Let’s sneak in with the Invisibility Talisman.”

She guessed that this feeling should’ve come from the threat of the mutated beasts in the cave.

Although the three of them and good cultivation base and strength, but they weren’t considered as peak existences on this continent. If there were more than three mutated beasts with cultivation base half-step to Immortal, then they would definitely bring them trouble and danger.

“That’s good, we should focus on safety.” Ming Xiu nodded in agreement.

So the three of them snuck into the vicinity of the cave that Jiu You had discovered before, sticking on the Invisibility Talisman.

As soon as they approached the cave, Ming Xiu and Lou Mu Yan noticed something unusual.

Right now, there was a layer of a defence array and a layer of an attack array arranged at the entrance of the cave.

“A bit troublesome.” Ming Xiu and Lou Mu Yan exchanged a look.

Lou Mu Yan’s eyes darkened, “This should be their deliberate cautionary procedure against us.”

If the Queen of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan guessed that they had stolen the supreme treasure of the Fox Clan, then the Invisibility Talisman wouldn’t be a secret. After all, she not only used it, but also sold a lot of it in the Foreign Battlefield.

“Should we break the array and restriction to enter and take a look.” Jiu You asked with a grim expression.

He wouldn’t forget about those mutated beasts attacking him and poisoning him. Now that the other party was on guard, it would be difficult for them to investigate or destroy the other party.

“Wait. Let’s wait for a while right now.” Lou Mu Yan said after a moment of thought.

Ming Xiu nodded and said: “We know too little about the situation inside. Rushing in rashly will not only startle the snake, but we may also be too deeply trapped, so we can only wait.”

The three didn’t move and kept hiding around the cave with the Invisibility Talisman.

This wait took three days. During this time, there was nothing unusual about the cave.

Until three days later, a burly man in a red shirt flew over from the distance.

When he landed outside the cave, he looked around vigilantly, then shot out several sword auras towards the periphery of the cave.

After a while, when the sword auras dissipated, he discovered that there were no abnormal fluctuations in the surroundings, so he took out an array compass on him and fused it into the restriction at the entrance of the cave.

The cave’s restriction fluctuated, then automatically dissipated.

The burly man in red immediately entered, and Lou Mu Yan three also took the opportunity to follow closely into the cave.

As soon as they stepped into the cave, the restriction behind them instantly closed, and the surrounding air became hot, giving people a very suffocating feeling.

The three also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Lou Mu Yan improved her Invisibility Talisman again after she advanced to grade 10 talisman master. After activation, a grade 10 defensive restriction would be automatically formed on the periphery, which was difficult to break through in a short time.

That mutated beast demon cultivator was also just trying to test things out before, so he didn’t attack for very long, otherwise they might be exposed.

After entering the cave, the three began to observe the situation inside.

One saw that the area inside the cave was very large. The cave was covered by a layer of magma, and the magma kept surging.

When the magma surged, the backs of huge demonic beasts were also exposed.

Lou Mu Yan counted carefully—there were seven or eight hundred Unification Realm mutated beasts in the cave outside alone.

The burly man in red didn’t remain in the first cave after entering but went straight into the deepest part.

In the deepest part of the cave, there was also a cave within a cave, on which arrays and restrictions were also arranged.

Lou Mu Yan three still followed the burly man in red and quickly stepped in.

As soon as they entered the cave within the cave, Lou Mu Yan three felt suppressed.

The surrounding heat gushed towards them together with the magma. This cave was within a geothermal magma sea.

Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu were strong and had high physical strength. Such heat and pressure didn’t have much impact on them, but Jiu You couldn’t stand it much.

Lou Mu Yan immediately activated a layer of protection from the Invisibility Talisman, which blocked out more than half of the magma heat pressure for him, and only then did his pale complexion improve a lot.

The three followed the burly man in red, moving ahead.

Huge demonic beasts lurked under the magma. Some were cultivating, some were devouring and refining raw souls, and some were chasing and competing.

Lou Mu Yan three’s expressions darkened as they felt the auras coming from these huge demonic beasts.

This magma sea was very wide, and there were about two to three hundred mutated beasts in it, and the worst of their cultivation base was Celestial Unification Realm.

In a relatively deep area below the magma sea, there were more than a dozen mutated beasts whose auras had reached half-step Immortal cultivation base.

Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu’s mental energy was very strong, and they also discovered a powerful aura emanating from the deepest part of the magma seabed from time to time.

Judging from the aura emanating from it, the cultivation base of that mutated beast was probably only one step away from stepping into the cultivation base of an Immortal.

What made the expressions of Lou Mu Yan three even more serious was that they saw many mutated beasts devouring and refining raw souls.

And those raw souls were of Yin Soul Beasts and Sea Soul Beasts who had been cultivated to Unification Realm.

They dived towards the bottom, and the further down they went, the closer the aura of the mutated beast at half-step to Immortal was.

When approaching the more than a dozen half-step to Immortal mutated beasts, the three of them saw countless black, blue, and white floating light balls on the entire magma seabed.

Imprisoned in the balls of light were the souls of Yin Soul Beasts, Sea Soul Beasts, and Sword Masters at Unification Realm of all Four Major Realms.
