Chapter 1218 The Cave of Divine Underworld
Lin Xun clapped him on the shoulder, reassuring, “When the time comes, I will help you get justice.”
Wang Xuanyu was a leading figure of the younger generation of the Great One Sect who had made a name for himself years ago in the Ancient Wasteland Domain. He was on an equal level with Mi Hengzhen and Ye Mohe.
But Lin Xun was not afraid of him.
Though where was Wang Xuanyu now?
“Brother Lin, what are you guys talking about?” asked Mo Tianhe.
“We are talking about Wang Xuanyu.” Then, a thought struck Lin Xun and he asked, “Guys, where do you think that guy is right now?”
Ji Xingyao, Mo Tianhe, Zhen Yunfeng and the others felt a chill down their backs. It seemed like Demon God Lin was not willing to let go of the matter that Wang Xuanyu had snatched Toady’s fortune!
“Since he showed up in the Blood Underworld like us, I believe his ultimate goal must be the same as ours—the Cave of Divine Underworld,” Ji Xingyao speculated after a thought.
Lin Xun’s black eyes flashed coldly. “In that case, we should set off right away.”
The others did not try to dissuade him. Given Demon God Lin’s current strength, he should not have to worry about making enemies with the successors from the Great One Sect.
Under the leadership of Ji Xingyao, everyone marched on.
……
The world was cold, bleak and barren.
Although they encountered no danger along the way, the atmosphere grew increasingly eerie and forbidding.
It felt as though they were wandering through an underworld deprived of life.
But soon, Lin Xun and the others spotted several rays of light piercing the sky, all speeding away in the same direction.
Those were cultivators just like them!
“It seems like quite a few forces have entered the Underworld River Forbidden Zone,” Zhen Yunfeng remarked with a serious frown.
Along the way, they had already run into Wu Lingdao, the Thirteenth Prince of the Golden Crow, Clan, and his group of people, and they also learned that Wang Xuanyu from the Great One Sect had appeared.
Now, they bumped into many cultivators one after another. Obviously, quite a few sects and clans had come to search for fortune this time.
Sure enough, in the following time, they repeatedly noticed cultivators coming in groups.
Among them were extremely powerful experts!
Moreover, Zhen Yunfeng and Mo Tianhe, who were both from formidable forces, recognized some fierce characters who were on par with them.
“It’s getting a bit troublesome. More and more forces are eyeing the Cave of Divine Underworld, which means the competition will be extremely intense.”
Mo Tianhe looked grave.
“What are you afraid of? With our strengths combined, we can cope with anything. What’s more, we have Brother Lin with us! Others should be afraid of us instead!” Zhen Yunfeng smiled confidently.
Of course, he slickly flattered Lin Xun as he spoke.
Even an idiot would know that Zhen Yunfeng hoped that Lin Xun could lend a helping hand if they were to encounter a tricky opponent.
Lin Xun chuckled without saying anything.
After the time to burn an incense stick, a tremendous and majestic blood-colored mountain loomed ahead in the distance, stretching thousands of miles like a blood-red dragon meandering across the world.
“The Cave of Divine Underworld is right there!” Ji Xingyao’s clear eyes brightened, gazing into the distance.
Everyone perked up.
In the Underworld River Forbidden Zone, the greatest fortune was suspected to be hidden in the Cave of Divine Underworld!
The fortune had been sealed for eternity, but through this great age, it would be unsealed and presented to the world.
As Lin Xun and the others approached the mountain, they noticed a huge crack across the center and a thick layer of blood-colored light covering it.
It was as though a blood-colored wall was blocking the crack.
At that moment, many figures were taking action.
“Charge!” A roar echoed like thunder, followed by a burly and imposing figure speeding towards the mountain crack.
Buzz—
The bloody wall produced an eerie, demonic glow and shot out bizarre, twisting symbols to envelop the burly figure.
Suddenly, the burly figure was bathed in blood-red light, slipped into the crack, and disappeared.
“Let’s go too!”
“The seal here has long been lifted, leaving the heaven-defying fortunes within our reach.”
“Quick!”
Seeing this, the other cultivators also quickly acted.
Streams of light rained down and raced towards the crack of the blood-colored mountain.
Undoubtedly, the crack was the entrance to the Cave of Divine Underworld!
Zhen Yunfeng and the others felt their chests tighten. They had arrived one step too late and failed to be the first to enter the Cave of Divine Underworld.
They lost the head start!
“It’s that guy!” Toady cried out, all riled up as he pointed to the distance.
Lin Xun looked up to see a black-robed youngster rising into the sky on a mysterious rainbow.
When Toady screamed, the youngster jerked his head around.
Lin Xun saw the man’s face very clearly. He had rosy-red lips, pearly white teeth, thick sword-shaped eyebrows, and bright star-like eyes. His figure was as slim and tall as a pine tree, and he exuded an air of elegance.
A pair of mysterious and obscure symbols emerged in his eyes, one black and one white like yin and yang, glowing with a menacing light. What an astonishing appearance!
The Great One Precious Eye!
The man had to be Wang Xuanyu.
Want Xuanyu was a little taken aback to see Toady, but he still gave a smile and a cupped fist salute, seeming extremely polite.
However, he did not pause at all and vanished without a trace.
Toady was so mad that he almost jumped up. Even if he had forgotten the fact that Wang Xuanyu snatched his treasure, the way he greeted him with an arrogant smile was already infuriating!
“Is he Wang Xuanyu? He looks very graceful,” Mo Tianhe remarked.
Toady fumed, “What do you know? He is just putting on an act. He is actually extremely despicable and shameless!”
Towards this, Lin Xun did not agree.
Opportunities were naturally open to competition, so Wang Xuanyu’s approach was justifiable.
His only mistake was he chose the wrong target!
Toady was Lin Xun’s brother. Since Wang Xuanyu did that to him, Lin Xun dared to give him a taste of his own medicine!
“The Great One Precious Eye is a superb talent. In ancient times, it was hailed as the feature of a Saint. This means that as long as he does not neglect his training, he would be able to embark on the Saint Path sooner or later.”
Zhen Yunfeng clearly knew a lot. “Now, he has reached the Supreme King Stage. If you face him, be careful of his eye technique. I heard that once the Great One Precious Eye is activated, it can shoot out rays of light that can sever yin and yang and divide clear and turbid. It is an abnormal skill.”
Ji Xingyao nodded. “Years ago, when I came out of closed-door cultivation, I had visited the Great One Sect, hoping to challenge Wang Xuanyu. Unfortunately, I was ignored, but I had heard that Wang Xuanyu is regarded as one of a kind supreme talent. He is born with great luck and is blessed by the heavens. His strength must not be underestimated.”
Lin Xun nodded, his expression calm and relaxed as ever.
He had known for a long time that Wang Xuanyu was amazing and powerful, but nothing could affect his determination to deal with him!
Without delay, Lin Xun and the others also took action.
“Did I see it right? Demon God Lin is traveling with people from the North God Holy District and Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms?”
“The situation doesn’t look good! Demon God Lin is also taking part! That means there is bound to be a bloodbath in the Cave of Divine Underworld!”
Many cultivators gasped when they discovered Lin Xun.
“Brother Lin, take us with you!”
“We are willing to serve you and obey your orders.”
Some quick-thinking people shouted out.
If they could follow the powerful Demon God Lin who was accompanied by cultivators from the North God Holy District and the Unsolved Mystery Sword Alms, they would have a higher chance of harvesting fortunes.
Lin Xun and the others ignored them.
“Go! Follow them!”
Some people ground their teeth and rushed up to them. They believed that even if Lin Xun disagreed with them following them, he would not make things too difficult for them.
But if they could follow Lin Xun and the others, then many problems and dangers could be resolved!
Once they rushed through the blood-colored wall and entered the huge mountain crack, an entirely different scenery greeted them.
It was a deep, winding cave tunnel filled with wisps of mysterious blood-colored light, seeming extremely mysterious and leading to an unknown place.
Lin Xun and the others hadn’t traveled far when they reached a forked road leading to a series of winding caves.
Which way should they go?
Everyone dithered.
Ji Xingyao and Zhen Yunfeng quickly took out a tattered map and studied it, but found nothing.
It made sense. The Cave of Divine Underworld had been sealed for eternity, and no one had ever entered it.
It would be an unfamiliar place to anyone now that the seal was removed.
“How about we split up?” Zhen Yunfeng suggested. “That way we all have a better chance of finding treasures.”
If they worked together, even if they discovered a fortune, it was bound to be not enough to satisfy every single one of them.
Moreover, who could guarantee it would be distributed fairly?
In particular, Lin Xun seemed to have become the leader of their group, and he undeniably had an advantage over them!
Anyone would realize the difference between them.
The others exchanged glances with one another before finally shifting their gazes onto Lin Xun.
Lin Xun smiled. “That’s fine. From the way I see it, even if we each choose a different path now does not mean we won’t meet again. It’s just that the path you choose now is different.”
Zhen Yunfeng, Yin Xue, Zhan Luxiu and the others chose a path and left the area first.
“Fellow Cultivator Zhen seems a little wary of you,” Ji Xingyao whispered to Lin Xun
“It’s understandable. Everyone is here to find fortunes. It’s not a bad idea to split up and fight with our own abilities,” Lin Xun said with a smile.
Seeing that Lin Xun did not mind, Ji Xingyao also did not care.
“By the way, do you guys want to join us?” asked Lin Xun.
Ji Xingyao thought for a moment and nodded.
Mo Tianhe bit his tongue, but in the end, he did not decline the offer.
As for what he was thinking, Lin Xun had no time to speculate.
Once this matter was settled, Lin Xun turned to a particular cave path and led the way without any hesitation.
When the others saw this, they instantly realized that...from the very start, Lin Xun had already planned to go down that path!
