Chapter 466: I have been waiting for you for a long time
Pan Lin’s wife didn’t need to speak of her husband’s “great achievements.” Just by looking at the bloodstains on the torture instruments, Yaoyao knew what crimes this man had committed against her clansmen.
Yaoyao wished she could rush over and tear Pan Lin to shreds, but thinking of her clansmen, she suppressed the anger in her heart with all her might, and the red glow in her eyes gradually faded.
‘Letting you live one more night is considered repaying the favor of your wife.’
Yaoyao murmured, biting her cherry lips.
Nothing happened overnight. The next day, Yaoyao woke up unusually early and deliberately washed up in the courtyard, not even wearing her veil.
Pan’s wife also woke up quickly. As soon as she came out of the main hall, she saw Yaoyao’s delicate face. She was stunned on the spot, not out of surprise, but purely out of shock.
Yaoyao deliberately showed a look of panic, then clumsily put on her veil. Her exquisite acting skills were deeply learned from Qi Huang’s true teachings.
Pan’s wife’s expression quickly turned gloomy. She questioned Yaoyao with murderous intent: “Didn’t my husband say you had a birthmark on your face? Where is the birthmark?”
“Uh…”
Yaoyao didn’t argue but instead feigned guilt and fiddled with her sleeves.
“Speak, why did he bring you home?”
Pan’s wife relentlessly pressed.
“That… that… Madam… I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to deceive you… but I really had no choice!”
Yaoyao then “tearfully” told the truth. She did this naturally to make the woman in front of her recognize Pan Lin’s true face.
Pan’s wife’s face turned redder and redder, and her breathing became unusually heavy. She never dreamed that her husband would be so shameless, keeping a mistress right under her nose. How ridiculous that she had been showing concern for this little fox spirit.
“Madam, I really don’t want to be the master’s concubine, nor do I want to ruin your relationship, but if I don’t obey him, I can only end up on the streets. In this world today, there are evil spirits everywhere, and I can’t survive at all.”
Yaoyao continued to complain.
“Hoo…”
Pan’s wife was gradually reaching the breaking point, but in the end, she inexplicably suppressed her anger and turned to leave silently, as if nothing had happened.
“She can tolerate this?”
Yaoyao was a little surprised, but she had done all she could and had no more burdens in her heart.
Not long after, Pan Lin also woke up. He had no idea what had happened and had a smirk on his face the whole time.
Pan’s wife did not expose him. Although this seemed very demeaning, she couldn’t help it. There were already more women than men in the Immortal Sect. If she revealed the truth, she would be the one at a disadvantage, not the little fox spirit.
After breakfast, Pan Lin set off with a travel bag. Judging by his eager look, he was clearly ready to make a big effort.
Yaoyao knew what was in the travel bag without even looking, so she immediately used her spiritual sense to monitor him. She would not allow this beast to harm her clansmen any further.
Pan Lin went straight to a stone cave in the back mountain, then took out his Immortal Elder’s waist token and showed it to the guards. He then entered without any obstruction.
The space inside the stone cave was very large. There were guards posted every three steps and sentries every five steps, and there were many mechanisms. Along the passageway were cells enclosed by bars, in which many grotesque evil spirits were imprisoned. They struggled and roared unwillingly, but were suppressed by the dense talismans on the walls and could not lift their heads.
Even so, the entire dungeon was still filled with yin energy and was dark and lightless, giving people a sense of oppression.
Seeing this scene, Yaoyao couldn’t help but think of the dungeon she was imprisoned in at the Yuxiao Sect. How similar they were.
Pan Lin seemed accustomed to such scenes. He walked in without changing his expression until he reached the end. There was a tall stone door on the wall, and four disciples were stationed at the entrance for exclusive guarding. This showed that the things inside must be very important.
Yaoyao prepared to investigate with her spiritual sense but was surprised to find that a body-protection talisman was pasted on the stone door, emitting a spiritual sense shield that enveloped the entire stone chamber.
Yaoyao increased the output of her spiritual sense, preparing to break through by force. However, even when it reached the peak of the Huashen Realm, she could not shake it. It was clearly a body-protection talisman of the Shentong Realm.
At this moment, Yaoyao already knew who had created this talisman. To avoid alarming the snake, she gave up the idea of peeking into the stone chamber.
“Senior Brother Pan, you’re so early. It’s not time for the handover yet.”
A young disciple stepped forward and saluted.
“It’s okay. You’ve been guarding for a few days. Even cultivators get tired from staying up day and night. You should go back and rest early.”
Pan Lin said considerately.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Pan!”
The disciple cupped his fists and saluted again, then left happily.
Pan Lin placed his travel bag in a corner and then took over the disciple’s guard duty.
Seeing this, Yaoyao already knew that her clansmen were imprisoned in the stone chamber.
“Finally found you!”
Yaoyao slightly raised the corner of her mouth, then walked out of the door without a sound. However, she still planned to reconfirm Ye Donglai’s whereabouts with Qi Huang, who was far away in Yongning Prefecture, on the way.
When Qi Huang found Yaoyao contacting her, her first reaction was that something had happened to the HongHua Sect, so she quickly took out the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device to answer.
“Don’t worry, the HongHua Sect is fine! I just want to confirm with you, is that Ye Donglai still in Yongning Prefecture?”
Yaoyao inquired.
“Yes, his personal disciple was seriously injured and will probably not be able to return for a while.”
Qi Huang answered subconsciously, but then felt something was wrong and asked vigilantly, “Why are you asking this? You’re not thinking of targeting those Nine Nether Demonic Cats from the Donglai Sect, are you?”
“You guessed right. I’m at the Donglai Sect now and am about to make a move!”
Yaoyao readily admitted.
“What are you doing? Didn’t you promise me you would protect the HongHua Sect? If you really want to save those clansmen, can’t you wait until I get back?”
Qi Huang immediately complained. She knew that the Evergreen Convention was at a critical juncture, and she couldn’t get away.
“Don’t worry, isn’t my sister here? Don’t forget, she is also a master of the Huashen Realm. Protecting the mere HongHua Sect is more than enough.”
Yaoyao said reassuringly, then impatiently added, “I won’t waste any more time with you. I’m going to make my move.”
Yaoyao ended the conversation there and then walked towards the dungeon in the back mountain with firm steps. Because she was wearing a veil, she didn’t attract much attention along the way.
Yaoyao soon arrived in front of the stone cave and ignored the guards, preparing to charge in.
“Stop! This is a heavily guarded dungeon. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter, or we won’t be polite.”
A disciple warned, holding the hilt of his sword. If he hadn’t seen that the other party was a little girl, he would have attacked immediately.
Yaoyao acted as if she hadn’t heard anything, her footsteps didn’t stop, and she walked straight through the guards.
The guards’ bodies inexplicably began to tremble. Their eyes widened, and blood vessels bulged out, as if they had seen a ghost. But in the next moment, their bodies exploded like fireworks, turning into a few wisps of blood mist that scattered with the wind.
Yaoyao walked inside leisurely, without emitting even a trace of yin energy from her body, like an ordinary little girl. However, everywhere she went, be it guards, mechanisms, or even those talismans, they were all crushed into powder by her mid-stage Shentong Realm spiritual sense.
Of course, if the mid-stage Shentong Realm of a cultivator were classified by the level of a ghost, it would be “mid-stage Demon Realm.”
Because of Yaoyao’s entry, the entire dungeon quickly fell silent. The guards were all dead. As for the evil spirits, although the suppression of the talismans was gone, they sensed the immense pressure and did not even dare to escape. They could only hide in the corners and tremble.
Thus, Yaoyao leisurely arrived at the end of the dungeon.
“Who’s there?”
The three guard disciples beside Pan Lin saw that Yaoyao was a stranger and stepped forward cautiously, holding their long swords, to question her.
Pan Lin’s face showed surprise. He couldn’t understand why Yaoyao would appear here. However, blinded by lust, he didn’t think much about it and prepared to explain to his fellow disciples first.
But at this moment, something terrifying happened to Pan Lin. His three junior brothers exploded without warning, turning into a few wisps of blood mist and dissipating into the air, not even their clothes were spared.
Pan Lin’s eyes widened in terror, and he retreated repeatedly. At this moment, he finally realized that something was wrong. This was a heavily guarded dungeon, and not just anyone could enter.
“Yo-you, who exactly are you?”
Pan Lin stammered.
“So you can die knowing whom you angered!”
Yaoyao took off her veil. Sharp fangs protruded from the corners of her mouth, and a pair of furry cat ears quickly grew on her head. Her eyes turned into scarlet vertical pupils.
“Cat… Cat demon… You’re a cat demon!”
Pan Lin said indistinctly, his back pressed against the stone door as he trembled, and his long sword dropped to the ground.
Yaoyao’s pupils contracted slightly. Pan Lin’s body immediately exploded like a watermelon, turning into blood mist and dissipating. Because he was only at the Body Refining Realm, his life soul naturally could not survive.
Yaoyao moved her spiritual sense, and a torch on the wall flew over, accurately igniting the body-protection talisman on the stone door.
As the talisman burned, the spiritual sense shield around the stone chamber gradually dissipated.
Yaoyao kicked open the stone door calmly and walked in. But the next second, she was stunned because there was no trace of her clansmen in the stone chamber. There was only an old man with white hair and beard sitting on a futon in the middle.
“I have been waiting for you for a long time!”
The figure slowly spoke.
