Chapter 139: Entering the Death Cave

  The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight caressed the grassland and the first gentle breeze swept over the mountain ridge, Yang Yuxi slowly woke up from his dream.

  He opened his eyes, and the bright sky was a brilliant blue, with white clouds dotted above, beautiful and peaceful.

  He suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of comfort, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up into a slight arc. The wind blew up the hair on his temples, and the black hair fluttered in the wind, as the young man's spirit freely soared between heaven and earth!

  By Yang Yu Xi's side, Chen Hu also woke up. Looking at Yang Yu Xi's handsome face in the morning light, he suddenly felt a bit down and slowly said: "Are you leaving again?"

  The word "again" in the sentence made Yang Yuxi feel a pang of sadness, his body trembled slightly, and then he didn't turn around. A single word seemed to have gone through several struggles before being spat out from the corner of his mouth: "Yes."

  Yang Yu Xi stood up, opened his arms, closed his eyes, and the morning breeze blew across his body. His head slightly lifted, the wind passed through his body, bringing a hint of coolness, yet it was like someone was gently holding back the person who was about to leave.

  "How long will it take to come back this time?" Chen Huo walked shoulder to shoulder with him, his stature growing very fast, much taller than Yang Yuxi, and the bulging muscles made him look majestic.

  Yang Yu Xi shook her head but said firmly, "I don't know, but next time I come back, I will definitely enter the evening city gate with my head held high. This is my dream all along!"

  "Slap"

  Chen Hu's hand heavily patted Yang Yu Xi's shoulder, and Yang Yu Xi turned around to look at him, slightly stunned.

  Chen Hu's face, surprisingly, had a smile on it, a smile full of encouragement and confidence. He said to Yang Yu Xi: "Yu Xi, I believe in you! Yushi City will always be waiting for your return!"

  "Hmm!" Yang Yu Xi was infected by Chen Hu's words, his fists clenched involuntarily as he turned to gaze at the rising sun.

  The sun rises in the east, and the years are just right!

  Yang Yu Xi left, he walked towards the distance, walking into the light curtain of the setting sun in the distance, and his soft chanting voice came from the wind.

  "The morning sun rises high in the sky, unfolding the most magnificent scene under heaven. Having been away for years without a return date, I'll take the moonlight as my hometown!"

  ………………………………

  In the small woods outside the city, Zhou Yu and Huo Qiema were also awakened by the sunlight. The two women woke up from their sleep, with beautiful faces showing some signs of drowsiness, truly stunning, even Huo Qiema had a different kind of beauty.

  In the sunlight, two women vaguely saw a figure seemingly walking out of the light, with a warm and confident smile like the rising sun.

  Zhou Yuxiao and Hu Qiema exchanged a glance, stood up, and Zhou Yuxiao asked tentatively: "Yu Xi?"

  The figure gradually approached, revealing a familiar face, which was Yang Yuxi.

  However, at this time, Yang Yuxi's body had undergone some obvious changes. Zhou Yu and Huo Qi could clearly feel these changes, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what the changes were. It was as if a person who had been feeling very tired suddenly felt relaxed, putting down all their fatigue.

  Yang Yu Xi walked up to the two of them, gave a gentle smile, and her smile had an inexplicable charm: "Let's go."

  "Where are you going?"

  Yang Yu Xi raised her head, and amidst the gaps in the woods, the sunlight was still bright: "Go to where we should go, do what I should do!"

  As soon as the words fell, he suddenly sprang up and turned into a stream of light that disappeared in the southern sky. It seemed that there was still a bright laughter echoing in the air.

  The two women were somewhat perplexed, but both immediately followed up.

  ………………………………

  East Sea, dusk organization.

  In the place where the boundary was inhabited, the two palaces in front almost simultaneously lit up with a glow. At first glance, they were both blue, but upon closer inspection, there were differences. The blue light on the left gave people an intangible feeling, as if it existed right in front of them yet seemed to not exist at all. In contrast, the blue light on the right was as ethereal and gentle as water.

  The attention of the people around was drawn over, but from their expressions, there wasn't much surprise to be seen, as if such things happened often. Some whispers also spread out.

  "Has it broken through again? Do those two have to be so abnormal!?"

  "Don't be out of balance all the time, if you have the ability, break through occasionally!"

  "It's really getting serious, the pressure in this area is being escalated by those two."

  "Stop complaining, it's better to cultivate diligently with this time. Haven't you seen that even Ling Fei Yan has started cultivating all day and is no longer wandering around like before?"

  "Alas... I suppose so, let's go and cultivate then."

  "Rumble!"

  The gates of the two palaces opened almost simultaneously, and two young men walked out from the deep, dark space behind the gates.

  On the left, there was a handsome young man with an indifferent face. He stood there as if he had merged with space, making it difficult to detect even a hint of his spiritual energy fluctuations. However, what was astonishing was that his left sleeve fluttered empty in mid-air.

  On the other side was another young man, with short blue hair like water grass blown to one side in the wind, surrounded by a mist of water vapor, with a lazy smile on his face, full of deadly charm towards the girl.

  "Hey," said the blue-haired youth with an unwavering smile at the corner of his mouth, looking at the armless youth on his left, "Cilan, you've broken through too?"

  Zan Lan, also known as Nan Gong Cang Jie, glanced at the blue-haired youth with a faint gaze, nodded slightly and said, "Mm, can't lose to you, Lan Qi."

  "Hey." Luo Xuan (Lan Qi) shrugged and smiled, but his smile suddenly froze, his entire expression becoming extremely solemn as he stared straight at Nan Gong Zang Jie.

  Nan Gong Zang's rare relaxed expression on his face instantly disappeared, and his cold, emotionless gaze also locked onto Luo Xuan.

  Luo Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he spat out the words: "Have you heard?"

  "Hmm." Nangong Zuan Jie nodded slightly, his right hand, which never left the Canglan, tightened slightly.

  Luo Xuan's eyes suddenly had a hint of nostalgia, and he let out a soft sigh, saying: "He is still the same, not relaxing in the slightest."

  When he heard "him", Nan Gong Zang Jie's cold eyes actually had some emotions, he nodded and said: "Chen Ming and Leng Hong are not as good as you and me, but they can subdue two people in one round, his cultivation is not below yours and mine."

  "Who says it isn't?" Luo Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "I really don't know how that guy cultivated for a year, to actually make progress so quickly!"

  Nangong Cangjue glanced at him and said lightly: "You've also made rapid progress, if you can do it, he can too."

  Luo Xuan shrugged indifferently and walked away from the boundary.

  "Where are you going?" asked Nan Gong Zuan Jie, his eyes following him as he moved.

  Luo Xuan's lazy voice came from the front: "With your personality, you definitely won't stop cultivating just because of a small breakthrough. Since we're out here, our goals are probably the same. Let's go."

  Nangong Zang's eyes stared at Luo Xuan's back, speechless, but his eyes were surging with a sharp light, and his figure gradually disappeared in this space.

  ………………………………

  Dusk organization, Zhong San's residence.

  "Have you two decided?" Zhong San asked in a low voice, standing with his back to the door. He hadn't changed at all in a year.

  Nangong Zangjiao slightly lowered his head, his tone very firm: "We've decided." Within a year, he had clearly understood the leader of this organization and came to the conclusion that he was unfathomable. Zhong Sanping was usually gentle on the surface, but inside, he was an outstanding underworld leader, ruthless and decisive in his actions, using every means necessary.

  Zhong San slowly turned around and said: "Do you two know the danger of 'Dead Cave'?"

  "I know, isn't it just a narrow escape from death?" Luo Xuan said lazily.

  Zhong San looked at him with a glance, and he was very satisfied with the progress of these two people. At their speed, it would not take more than five years for them to have a place in the Heavenly Realm. But he did not expect that the two were still dissatisfied with their own progress, and actually asked to enter the Dead Cave.

  Dead Hole, as the name suggests, is a place with an extremely high danger coefficient. In fact, it's the most dangerous place in the Dark Organization, but also because of its danger, it's where one's strength can increase the fastest.

  Zhong San looked at Luo Xuan and said, "You're wrong, it's not nine deaths and one life, but a hundred deaths and one life. The difficulties inside the Death Cave are beyond your imagination. Your speed is already very fast, I advise you not to go in."

  His tone was flat, but somehow, both Nan Gong Zuo and Luo Xuan could truly feel the danger of that dead hole.

  The two of them exchanged a glance and smiled. Nan Gong Zuo Jie said, "Even if it's a hundred deaths and one life, there is still hope for survival. As long as there is hope for survival, we have nothing to fear."

  Zhong San's piercing gaze swept over the two of them, furrowed his brow and said in a deep voice: "So you're saying that both of your minds are made up?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Is it because of him?"

  It was the first time in a year that they heard that person's name from Zhong San Kou, and both Nangong Cang Jie and Luo Xuan's bodies trembled slightly. Nangong Cang Jie, after all, had an extremely good temperament, and he replied in a calm tone: "Yes."

  Then there was a long silence. After a while, Zhong San slowly said: "Alas, it's all right, since you two have made up your minds, then go."

  He paused, then continued: "You two go back and prepare. Tomorrow I'll send you into the Dead Cave. Let me repeat, the Dead Cave is a place where one can easily die but also has a chance to survive. Yi Feng has been there before, you can ask him about it. If you change your minds tomorrow, that's for the best."

  Nan Gong Zang Jie and Luo Xuan wanted to say something more, but they saw Zhong San waving his hand, the two of them understood each other and retreated.

  As Nangong Zang and Jie Er's figures disappeared into the distance, a thick male voice suddenly rang out from Zhong San's room: "Do you really want to let them in?"

  Zhong San looked out the window and seemed unsurprised by the voice. He said, "It's not that I wanted them to come in, it's that they wanted to come in themselves. You also said we don't have much time, perhaps the dead tunnel can help us."

  "But the Dead Cave is so dangerous, although they are extremely excellent, but after all, their cultivation is still low, and a slight carelessness will lead to great mistakes, have you thought about it?"

  "So, I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on things and make sure nothing really happens."

  "Hmph!" The male voice seemed somewhat dissatisfied and said, "I knew you'd be plotting against me again."

  "Hey, old friend, now I can only rely on you." Zhong San's expression became somewhat worn and weary at this moment, with a hint of unknown light flickering in his eyes.

  The voice didn't answer him, but there seemed to be a soft sigh in the house.
