106: You go in alone
As for Yang Yi.
Everyone knew very little about him.
They only knew that his cultivation was powerful.
He killed without blinking an eye.
That smile just nowβ
Everyone felt a trace of Killing Intent.
Yang Yi entered the cave entrance.
The others still didn't enter.
Because Yang Yi's smile from just moments ago had made everyone vigilant.
They were afraid that Yang Yi was hiding on the edge of the cave entrance, waiting to ambush them.
Therefore.
The second person to enter was also in quite a bit of danger.
No one was willing to go in.
"Aren't you on good terms with Yang Yi?"
"Why don't you go in first?"
The Elder of the Diancang Sect looked at the people from the Luoyue Sect.
He said with a cold laugh.
The Sect Leader of Luo Yue saw that there was no unusual movement coming from inside the cave.
And Yang Yi hadn't sent out any signals of danger.
He felt that going in wouldn't be a big deal.
So, he led the group from the Luoyue Sect and intended to go in.
However, just as half the people had entered.
The people from the Diancang Sect blocked the remaining half.
An Elder stretched out a long arm.
And blocked the group.
The Sect Leader of Luo Yue had a cold face.
He impatiently asked what he was trying to do.
The Elder of the Diancang Sect chuckled.
His eyes carried a hint of cunning.
"Quite a few people have already gone in."
"It should be our turn now."
"You guys stay in the back."
The Sect Leader of Luo Yue truly could not endure the shameless behavior of the Diancang Sect.
"You all are truly shameless."
"You're afraid there's danger inside."
"So you let others go in first."
"But when too many people go in."
"You're afraid they'll steal the items inside."
"So you stop others from entering."
"To think that an Elder of a dignified Yunzhou Sect would act like this."
"To be so petty."
"It's truly laughable."
At this moment.
The Elder of the Diancang Sect didn't care about the mockery.
He gave a slight smile to his companions.
And directly shoved the people of the Luoyue Sect aside.
Forcing his way in.
The others were also afraid that if they entered too late.
They wouldn't get any benefits.
They all rushed to get inside.
The last batch to enter were the people from the Luoyue Sect and the Duobao Pavilion.
The cave was pitch black.
One couldn't see what was inside.
But everyone could clearly smell a trace of blood.
Perhaps because of how long it had been.
The smell of blood also emitted a slight stench.
Someone lit a fire starter.
Illuminating a part of the cave.
The cave was smaller than everyone had imagined.
It could only accommodate four people walking forward at a time.
It wasn't very high either.
Only about three meters.
However, the cave walls were very smooth.
And there were traces of blades and axes.
Clearly, this cave was not naturally formed.
But created by human hands.
After walking for about half an hour.
Everyone was still within the narrow, long cave.
The people in the back were getting a bit anxious.
They couldn't help but shout at the people in front.
"Can those in front walk a bit faster?"
"At this speed, when will we ever reach the end?"
The person walking at the very front was Yang Yi.
Hearing the chaotic noise from behind.
Complaining that he was walking too slowly.
Yang Yi's face darkened, and he let out a strange chuckle.
"If you think I'm walking too slowly."
"Then you come and walk in front."
"The reason I'm walking so slowly."
"Is to prevent us from hitting any mechanisms or traps ahead."
"If you don't understand, shut your stinking mouth."
The people behind fell silent.
No one dared to take the risk of rushing to the front.
Having someone to scout the path for them.
They had no choice but to hold their tongues.
After walking for another half hour.
Everyone discovered that there was a faint glow drifting into the darkness ahead.
At this moment.
Everyone's hearts began to race with excitement.
A few people couldn't help but rush from the back to the front.
Shoving Yang Yi aside.
And flying toward where the light was coming from.
There was a slight commotion behind Yang Yi.
But most people did not rush over.
They still silently followed behind Yang Yi.
When they finally stood fully under the light.
They heard a few screams coming from not far away.
Because they had been in the darkness of the cave for so long.
Upon suddenly encountering the light.
Everyone couldn't help but close their eyes.
After adapting to this environment.
Everyone slowly opened their eyes.
And saw a huge hall appearing in front of them.
The hall was inlaid with various night-luminescent pearls.
Resulting in a brilliant radiance.
Under the light, four people were lying there.
These four people were the exact ones who had just rushed out.
At this moment, their bodies were riddled with arrows.
Three of them had already passed away.
And one person was still twitching.
Trying to call for help from the crowd.
Everyone observed their surroundings.
No one went to attend to the person on the verge of death.
Some even mocked and jeered.
"Haste makes waste."
"Why did you run over there so early?"
"Do you want to die?"
"Now your wish has come true."
Yue Lingxin was also gloating.
She didn't know when she had stood beside Yang Yi.
Standing up for Yang Yi.
"Yang Yi, isn't that the person who bumped into you earlier?"
"Why is he reaching out to you?"
"Is he saying hello to you?"
Yang Yi had no intention of saving anyone.
But he also didn't mock them.
He observed his surroundings.
The walls of the hall were painted with various bizarre patterns.
Some showed people wearing tree bark from the ancient era.
Holding a hammer in their hands.
Howling at the sky.
A bolt of lightning struck not far from him.
As if it were some kind of sacrificial ceremony.
Opposite this pattern.
Was a woman wearing animal skins.
Kneeling on the ground, holding a dead child in her arms.
"Do you know the origin of these patterns?"
Someone asked.
Some remained silent.
Some replied that they didn't know.
Some were knowledgeable and talented.
And could discuss them for a few sentences.
Saying that the paintings on the walls were all very ancient.
Like some kind of story.
Others pretended to understand when they didn't.
Analyzing what a certain painting actually meant.
Many people's gazes fell upon a few pillars.
One person stared at the pillars.
His eyes gleaming with light.
"There are a few pillars here for no apparent reason."
"I don't think these pillars are simple."
"Perhaps there's some mechanism."
Saying this.
He suddenly looked at Yang Yi.
"Yang Yi, you go over and take a look."
Yang Yi turned to look at the speaker.
He rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Letting him scout the path first earlier was one thing.
Because it was impossible for there to be danger the moment one stepped into the cave.
So Yang Yi was willing to try.
But now, he absolutely could not go first.
Because the four people who had rushed over earlier were already dead.
The person who was calling for help earlier had also stopped breathing.
Clearly.
There were mechanisms and traps inside the hall.
Even if it meant starting a fight with this group.
He would absolutely not go over.
Seeing that Yang Yi had no reaction.
The speaker shouted again.
"I'm talking to you."
"Did you hear me?"
Yue Lingxin, who was on the side, couldn't take it anymore.
She put her hands on her hips and glared angrily at the speaker.
"How can you be so shameless?"
"Why don't you go first?"
"Yang Yi already helped us scout the path earlier."
"Now, if we're taking turns, it should be someone else's turn."
"Why should he be the one to go?"
"That's true."
"If we're taking turns, it should be someone else's turn."
"I think it would be better if you, little girl, went instead."
The speaker laughed sinisterly.
