BXBX NOVEL Chapter 135: Perhaps There is Still a Turnaroundi
Qin Wuhun seemed very angry, but he actually was not; he simply enjoyed bantering with Feng Wanli, as they shared a close relationship.
“Use you? What are you thinking about? Qin Wuhun, you think too highly of yourself!” Feng Wanli teased.
Qin Wuhun looked even more disdainful, glancing at Feng Wanli and said indifferently, “So you’re saying that you don’t need our help to clean up Ten Thousand Evils Cave?”
“Of course, I don’t need it!” Feng Wanli said without hesitation.
After a pause, Feng Wanli’s expression became serious, “But the Southern Domain does!”
Qin Wuhun was speechless. This guy had escalated the issue to the scale of the Southern Domain, truly skilled at putting high hats on people!
In that case, how could one refuse?
However, they had no intention of refusing either. Otherwise, why would they have enveloped the Heavenly Mechanism Sect with the Central Galaxy Map?
By doing so, they aimed to prevent news of their plans to strike Ten Thousand Evils Cave from leaking.
“Junior Uncle, it really is you, you’ve finally returned!”
Mu Xingzhi’s voice, filled with surprise, came through, and the next moment, figures flew out from all over the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, heading straight for Li Cheng.
Mu Xingzhi arrived first, greeted Qin Wuhun and Feng Wanli with a bow, then turned to Li Cheng, cupping his fists and said, “Junior Uncle, you’ve returned at just the right time, we need your assistance!”
“Junior Uncle! You’re back!” Elder Seven and others also arrived, each of them bowing and their faces brimming with joy.
Li Cheng nodded at everyone repeatedly; he had only been away for a little over two months, and these folks were a bit overenthusiastic.
“Sect Master, what do you need my help with?” Li Cheng asked.
“Setting up arrays! We’ve located the headquarters of Ten Thousand Evils Cave, so we would like to ask Junior Uncle to set up a Trap Array to prevent the people of Ten Thousand Evils Cave from escaping,” Mu Xingzhi explained.
Li Cheng looked up at the night sky, “Are you guys being silly? With the Central Galaxy Map, there’s no need for me to set up an array, is there?”
“The Central Galaxy Map is indeed powerful at concealing aura and heavenly secrets, but when it comes to trapping and killing enemies, we must rely on the Four-sided Lamp Fire Map,” Qin Wuhun said with a smile.
“It’s a pity we couldn’t find the Four-sided Lamp Fire Map.”
As he spoke the last sentence, Qin Wuhun glanced at Feng Wanli again, as if blaming him for providing false information.
“That’s because you’re not smart enough. Once the matter with Ten Thousand Evils Cave is settled, I’ll invite an expert to accompany me, and we’ll definitely find the Four-sided Lamp Fire Map!” Feng Wanli declared conifdently.
Li Cheng paid no mind to the two jesters, turning to Mu Xingzhi, “Alright, go ahead with your tasks, just let me know when it’s time.”
The day they planned to act was surely a secret, which was why they had sealed the place off with the Central Galaxy Map. Consequently, Li Cheng didn’t ask.
There was no need to know too much; in the end, all he needed to do was set up the array to trap the people from Ten Thousand Evils Cave.
“How come I don’t sense the presence of Shu Wangjuan and Hua Bufan? Don’t tell me they didn’t come again,” Feng Wanli’s voice arose.
Qin Wuhun smiled wryly, “They said they would wait for you to proceed to that dangerous place, so they didn’t come out with me. The Saintess is also still inside.”
Feng Wanli was resigned but not worried. He believed that as long as they could invite Li Cheng to act, they would definitely find the Four-sided Lamp Fire Map in that dangerous place.
But now was not the time to look for the Four-sided Lamp Fire Map. With many powerful individuals from the Southern Domain coming together, they would likely take action in the next day or two.
“There will be no problem, but since you are here and brought the Central Galaxy Map, let’s first help the Southern Domain resolve the issue with Ten Thousand Evils Cave,” Feng Wanli stated.
Of course, Qin Wuhun would not object; he had rushed back alone precisely because of the words he had left with before. Now that he had learned of such significant events in the Southern Domain, he naturally wanted to offer his help.
“The Ten Thousand Evils Cave hasn’t existed for a long time, but it has suffered multiple sieges, hasn’t it?” Qin Wuhun said. “Despite numerous sieges, it couldn’t be uprooted; there must be some unknown secrets. It’s better to be cautious.”
“That is certain, but with a master at hand, there is no need to take the Ten Thousand Evils Cave seriously,” Feng Wanli said with a smile.
Qin Wuhun looked at Feng Wanli, full of doubt, “The master you mentioned, is it Taoist Friend Li?”
“How did you know?” Feng Wanli was astonished, were his own words so easy to guess?
Qin Wuhun looked at Li Cheng again and smiled, “I felt earlier that there has been a significant change in Taoist Friend Li, unfathomable; now it seems that it will exceed my expectations. Otherwise, Taoist Friend Feng would not be so confident.”
When Li Cheng had just arrived, Qin Wuhun felt that Li Cheng had become unfathomable, but didn’t think too much about it. Now, from Feng Wanli’s words, it wasn’t hard to guess that Li Cheng had made extraordinary progress during this period.
Li Cheng clasped his hands together in greeting, “Elder, let’s go in and talk!”
Li Cheng had always been curious about the methods of a Confucian Immortal; he had intended to ask about them last time but they were in a hurry.
Now the opportunity had arrived!
The three headed towards the Eighteenth Peak, but just as they landed, the bells suddenly sounded within the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.
Qin Wuhun, who was about to speak, shifted his gaze towards the Heaven Secret Peak and frowned, “I’m afraid there has been a change in the situation!”
At that moment, countless experts were rushing towards the Heaven Secret Peak.
Li Cheng and the others did not move, but their Immortal Sense enveloped the Heaven Secret Peak.
They saw Mu Xingzhi gathering the leaders of various power groups, each with a solemn expression on their faces.
Their conversation could not be concealed from the trio’s Immortal Sense; they were discussing that the soul jade slips monitoring the Ten Thousand Evils Cave’s lair had all shattered!
Since the discovery of the lair of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave, various power groups had secretly dispatched numerous people to watch over the movements of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave, both from afar and up close.
This had happened just a few days ago, but who could have expected that at this moment, almost all those scouts would perish at the same time!
The Heaven Secret Peak was in an uproar, all suspecting that even with the Central Galaxy Map covering it and everyone prepared for a joint strike, the plans had still been exposed!
Furthermore, it was unknown by what methods the Ten Thousand Evils Cave had managed to find all the scouts.
Listening to their conversation, Qin Wuhun’s eyebrows knitted together, “The forces of the Southern Domain have gathered, and powerful beings have congregated here. Everyone knows there must be a traitor from the Ten Thousand Evils Cave among us, which is why I cloaked the Heavenly Mechanism Sect with the Central Galaxy Map to prevent any leak of information.”
“I didn’t expect that we were so cautious and yet, the news still leaked!”
Li Cheng shook his head slightly, “Perhaps it’s precisely because of the Central Galaxy Map’s coverage that the Ten Thousand Evils Cave guessed something, leading to the demise of all scouts.”
“Moreover, I suspect that it’s not only the scouts who have perished. Since the Ten Thousand Evils Cave has made a move, they would rather kill the wrong than let anyone go; who knows how many have died near the Ten Thousand Evils Cave.”
Li Cheng’s words plunged Qin Wuhun into silence; indeed, how could the Ten Thousand Evils Cave, having existed for over ten thousand years, be foolish?
In trying to hide, I had instead allowed the enemy to easily guess our moves. “Where is the lair of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave? Let the three of us go and take a look, there might still be a chance!” Feng Wanli said.
Qin Wuhun was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Feng Wanli, “Are you sure? The forces hidden in the lair of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave are extremely terrifying. Without everyone joining hands, relying on the three of us alone, it would be difficult to return alive!”
Feng Wanli looked towards Li Cheng, waiting for him to speak.
Li Cheng nodded slightly, “It’s enough if I go, where is it?”
