Chapter 160 It Could Be Him
Eventually, the situation turned into a farce. When Elder Qu heard Wu Lan's provocative words, his face became so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
But he couldn't enter the devil's cave. Now that things had come to this, he could only snort coldly and leave with a dark face.
After experiencing a brief period of initial confusion, Cheng Shuang finally adjusted her mood.
She took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and then led the people behind her into the devil's cave.
This magic cave presents a unique canyon terrain, winding and extending all the way down.
There are clearly distinguishable boundaries between each layer, like naturally formed barriers separating different levels.
Before Cheng Shuyan and the others entered, many demon cultivators had already entered.
The first floor of the magic cave has been almost completely cleared out, and the corners that may have lurked danger now seem exceptionally quiet.
Cheng Shuyan and his group passed through this area easily and did not encounter any attacks from monsters along the way.
Although everything seemed calm on the surface, Cheng Shu was always worried about Cheng Shuang's abnormal behavior.
She silently observed Cheng Shuang's every move, trying to find a clue from her expression and movements.
Cheng Shuang concealed it very well, and nothing unusual happened along the way.
Since Xu Maolin and other people were traveling with her, Cheng Shuyan was unable to ask her.
In this way, the group arrived at the second level of the magic cave smoothly.
Compared with the first floor, the atmosphere on this floor became noticeably more tense.
This place is where Foundation Establishment stage monsters frequently appear. There is a faint smell of blood in the air, which makes people feel alert.
Most demon cultivators often choose to stop at this level to hunt demons and search for treasures.
Cheng Shuang's target was the fourth floor, and time was running out, so they didn't stop at all.
After encountering several attacks from monsters, the group killed the monsters blocking the way at an extremely fast speed and finally reached the third level of the magic cave.
……
Wu Lan strolled leisurely in the devil's cave, as leisurely as if he was taking a walk in his own back garden.
Since a year ago, Jin E has been sending people to keep an eye on him, for fear that he would go to Cheng Shuang and cause trouble.
Until the magic cave was opened, there were several more nails around him to prevent him from sneaking into the magic cave.
But so what? Wu Lan came whenever he wanted, and no one could stop him.
Wu Lan looked at the winged monster blocking his way, killed it easily, and continued forward.
He had been in here for several days and walked deeper into the demon cave without any delay. At this time, he could no longer see any other demon cultivators around him.
His target is also on the fourth floor.
He couldn't let Cheng Shuang and his group reach the Holy Spring before him, so Wu Lan didn't dare to slack off for a moment.
The deeper you go in the demon cave, the stronger the monsters become. Even if Wu Lan is very strong, after a long fight, his steps are weak and the demonic energy in his body is almost exhausted.
He stared at another monster that blocked his way, took out several pills from his storage ring, swallowed them in one gulp, and recovered some of his demonic energy.
……
Cheng Shuang looked at the somewhat empty third floor and couldn't help but frowned and asked in confusion:
"Why is this so strange? Logically, the third floor is deserted, so monsters should be rampant.
But we've only encountered three monsters in two days. Could it be that someone has gotten ahead of us?"
After a monster is killed, except for the magic core in its body, its body will turn into magic energy and return to the world.
Therefore, they were unaware that many monsters in the third layer had already been killed.
After sensing the aura of mass death of their own kind, most of the remaining ones hid in their own territories and did not come out, which allowed Cheng Shuyan and his party to have a smooth journey.
Cheng Shuyan had the same doubts about what Cheng Shuang said.
"Wu Lan entered the demon cave before us, but we didn't run into him along the way. Could it be him..."
Cheng Shuyan didn't say anything else, but the others understood what she meant.
Xu Maolin and others also knew Wu Lan's identity. He thought about it and said uncertainly:
"Young Master Wu Lan's strength is indeed not to be underestimated. It is possible that it is him."
"We have to speed up and can't let him arrive before us!" Cheng Shuang said in a cold voice with a stern expression.
Wu Lan does have the ability to accomplish this task. Not to mention his own powerful strength, the terrifying weapons he carries with him are enough for him to have the capital to sweep the third level of the demon cave alone.
Others may not know, but Cheng Shuang knows clearly in his heart that those powerful weapons in his hands were given by the Demon Lord in order to protect him.
If he used all those things, not to mention some Foundation Establishment stage monsters, even if a Nascent Soul stage demon cultivator came, he would have to survive.
At this moment, Cheng Shuyan keenly caught the fleeting panic on Cheng Shuang's face, and his heart tightened. He couldn't help but ask in a hurry:
"Shuang'er, what exactly is the Holy Spring? Could it be that Wu Lan is here for the Holy Spring just like you?"
There is no doubt that the target of Cheng Shuang's action this time is the mysterious holy spring.
However, it now seems that even Wu Lan has a strong interest in this.
Cheng Shuyan couldn't help but speculate in his heart, the reason why Cheng Shuang was so afraid of Elder Qu placing a restriction on her, could it be because she believed that he would take action against her one day?
After all, if there weren't such concerns, how could Cheng Shuang be so frightened?
Thinking about this, Cheng Shuyan felt more and more that this speculation was very likely the truth.
But why would she attack her own sister?
Recalling what Cheng Shuang had said when threatening Elder Qu, Cheng Shuyan suddenly realized that perhaps the key to all the problems was hidden in that mysterious holy spring.
When Cheng Shuang heard her question, her voice became choked and she avoided looking at her.
She forced a smile. "The Holy Spring can cleanse one's bones and marrow, change the constitution of a demon cultivator, and allow them to break free from their shackles. Who wouldn't covet it?"
Xu Maolin and others listened to these words, opened their mouths, but said nothing in the end.
Cheng Shuyan didn't believe her words. During the year in the Demon Realm, she was imprisoned in the Holy King's Palace and had no chance to go out to find out any information.
But based on her understanding of Wu Lan, this person has an extraordinary status in the Holy King Palace. Judging from the attitudes of the few people just now, his strength must be extremely strong.
Would such a person go to the so-called holy spring alone to seek opportunities?
If the Holy Spring is really as Cheng Shuang said, given Wu Lan's status in the Holy King Palace, would Elder Qu do everything he can to prevent him from entering the Demon Cave?
But Cheng Shuang was unwilling to say anything, and Cheng Shuyan could do nothing about her. He could only let things take their course and take things one step at a time.
