Urban All-Round Master

Demon Ancestor Cave, legend has it that this is where the first hero defeated the Demon Ancestor and perished a thousand years ago!

The rumors and disputes about the Demon Ancestor have been endless, yet most people think it’s merely a legend without real evidence. Who can truly say this is where the Demon Ancestor met his end?

However, the older generation of strong fighters knows there is a reclusive Eastern King guarding the Demon Ancestor Cave here. For years, no one has set foot in the Demon Ancestor Cave, as delving into it is no trivial matter. You might even risk your life here; it’s a place where cries for help go unanswered.

"Damn it!" Taihuang Demon was furious, her body trembling with anger, especially her full bosom quivering wildly. How dare they intrude into the Demon Ancestor Cave, forcing her onto a desperate path, truly leaving her with no intention to survive.

Thinking about it, Taihuang Demon couldn’t help but grit her teeth and walk further in, as a terrifying thought surfaced in her mind.

Isn’t the Holy Hall intent on my death? Fine, then I’ll go deep into the Demon Ancestor Cave and die there, but I’ll drag all these damned people into the cave too. Even if I die, they’ll be the ones buried with me.

Now, Taihuang Demon cannot help but lament her sad fate. Once, the Taishang Sect was highly esteemed, claiming supremacy among Huaxia’s one sect, two schools, three Holy Lands. Who would dare challenge the Taishang Sect?

Even as a minor Holy Daughter, under the weighty name of the Taishang Sect, who wouldn’t show it some respect?

But now? An unknown little Holy Hall has developed to such an extent, seriously threatening the Taishang Sect’s position. Now, even the Sect Hierarch’s life is uncertain, and the Holy Daughter herself is pursued by the Holy Hall’s people...

It truly echoes what Lin Zifeng once told Taihuang Demon: "Three years East, three years West, fortunes change in turn."

"Chen Bubai, go back and inform Lin Shao that we’re in the Demon Ancestor Cave. If we remain trapped inside the cave for a long time, ask Lin Shao to come rescue us!" Zhan Long dragged Chen Bubai and urged him to return.

"You want me to go back now? Zhan Long, you really hold me in high regard. The one who should go back is you!" Chen Bubai knew the Demon Ancestor Cave was no ordinary place, but he understood they were all brothers who had endured life and death together.

Even in life and death, one shouldn’t go back alone, as that’s just surviving. If anyone returns, it should be all of us returning together.

"At such a time, the Demon Ancestor Cave is full of dangers. If we get trapped, at least Lin Shao can rescue us. If you don’t go back, how will Lin Shao know we’ve entered the Demon Ancestor Cave?"

Zhan Long stared and pushed Chen Bubai, grabbing his collar and lowering his voice as he pleaded, "We’ve spent quite a bit of time together now. Just do this favor for your brother."

Chen Bubai stayed silent for a moment, not speaking, but he grabbed Zhan Long’s collar in turn and said coldly, "Zhan Long, listen to me. I’m returning not because I’m cowardly. Remember, you better stay alive for me.

In the Ability Group, we’ve always been targets in each other’s pursuit. You’re my rival for improving, don’t you dare die!"

"Haha, I’ve survived so many hardships and still live well, haven’t I? Many have wanted me dead, but here I am, alive and well. I’m not that easy to kill." Zhan Long laughed heartily, pushed Chen Bubai aside, his dark eyes glinting, as he continued to follow the group’s steps deeper into the Demon Ancestor Cave.

Watching everyone risk their lives by venturing into the Demon Ancestor Cave, unable to accompany them, Chen Bubai felt uneasy. Yet, at this moment, he could only let Lin Zifeng come himself; otherwise, those inside the Demon Ancestor Cave today might not make it out.

On the surface, the Demon Ancestor Cave looked calm, but only those deeper inside could feel that the further they went, the more unsettling it became.

Just like Taihuang Demon now, the deeper she went inside, the more she felt a creepy sensation rising. Beneath her feet, the ground was almost barren, charred black as if by ruthless flames.

With each step forward, it felt as though her heart received a harsh blow.

Yet she had no choice but to move forward because those demons behind her were advancing step by step, ready to devour her. Any pause could cost her life.

Neither moving forward nor retreating seemed viable now. Helpless, she could only grit her teeth and move further into the Demon Ancestor Cave. Even in death, she intended to drag those wicked people with her into the cave.

If they die, they’ll all die together!

In the deep mountains, Taihuang Demon moved further and further away, till she had no idea where she was, surrounded by the unfamiliar, with no return path.

"What kind of infernal place is this?" Taihuang Demon frowned, as she already lost her sense of direction.

And before her was a dense, complex, winding mountain path, with no changes behind her either.

Taihuang Demon was utterly bewildered.

Lest she fail to lead the Holy Hall’s people inside, while she herself gets trapped here, that would spell disaster.

"Ahead lies an unknown path, where does the esteemed person intend?" Suddenly, an unfamiliar old man’s voice echoed around Taihuang Demon, ethereal and distant, impossible to tell where he was located, leaving Taihuang Demon slightly panicked.

"Who! Who’s there? Show yourself! No need to play tricks here. My fate now is a nine deaths and one life situation, no one can change it, you won’t scare me!"

Despite her words, trying to bolster herself, Taihuang Demon’s heart felt in turmoil, unpleasantly churning. Just escaped the tiger’s mouth, and now into the wolf’s lair, could this be the guardian of the Demon Ancestor Cave, the reclusive Eastern King?

If it truly was the reclusive Eastern King, hadn’t she stumbled into his forbidden land, would he slay her on the spot?

The chilling fear surged from her head to her soles, and cold sweats kept pouring.

"There’s no need to search, as I’m right beside you. Why has this lady forced her way into my Demon Ancestor Cave?" The ethereal aged voice continued to wander around.

This left Taihuang Demon unable to see him, nor discern the origin of the voice, so cold sweat streamed down her forehead.

"Are you the reclusive Eastern King who guards the Demon Ancestor Cave?" Taihuang Demon asked loudly.

"Yes." The ethereal voice confirmed, "Lady, you haven’t answered my question yet."

"I was chased till here," Taihuang Demon replied coldly. "Hunted by a group of shameless miscreants, I mistakenly entered the Demon Ancestor Cave. If I’ve done anything wrong, I hope the elder will forgive me."
