Yu Long's face suddenly turned ashen.

He had just been expelled from the Sect, and his father, an Elder of Enforcement Hall in the Nether Immortal Cave, had offended many people in the past.

This time, to save his son's life, he had abused the Sect's Void Transmission Array, committed a major crime, and been thrown into prison.

Although the severe poison in his body had been neutralized, if he rashly took this Senior to the Nether Immortal Cave, it might prove disadvantageous to the Senior.

He himself wasn't afraid of death.

But if this Senior were to be ensnared by the immense power of the Nether Immortal Cave, and if anything went wrong, he, as the guide, would feel utterly ashamed for failing to repay the Senior's life-saving grace.

However, remembering that the Senior had saved his life and now put forth such a request, Yu Long found that he couldn't refuse in his heart.

While he was anxiously contemplating, undergoing a fierce internal struggle, he suddenly heard a familiar voice booming in his ears like thunder.

"You're being far too hesitant! What are you dawdling for? Do you intend to refuse the old man's request?"

Following the voice, Yu Long saw that the speaker was actually a black cat lying on the carriage.

He was taken aback. Only then did he realize that there were four cats of different colors lying on the carriage.

The white cat was at the First Level of Nirvana Realm.

The black cat was at the Fourth Level of Destiny Realm.

As for the other red and blue cats, he couldn't discern their cultivation base.

Looking up at the carriage roof, a black bird stood there, proudly tilting its head towards the sky.

Yu Long couldn't discern this black bird's cultivation base either.

That made him quite embarrassed.

This carriage... It's filled with demon beasts?

Yu Long was somewhat dumbfounded.

Could it be a senior from the Demon Clan within the carriage? But why would a senior from the Demon Clan save me?

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

However, Yu Long quickly dismissed these thoughts.

He knew very well in his heart that he owed his life, his very resurrection, to the Senior in the carriage.

"Senior, if you wish to go to the Nether Immortal Cave, then I will lead the way now," Yu Long said respectfully, bowing low.

"Let's go. You don't need to worry about anything."

Ye Yun looked at Yu Long's conflicted expression and gave a faint smile.

Ye Yun mused. This child has a decent nature. He's worried that I'll encounter some misfortune if I go into the Nether Immortal Cave.

After all, in Yu Long's mind, the Nether Immortal Cave was the foremost power in the Nether Immortal Dynasty. It possessed formidable and terrifying strength; no one dared to challenge it.

Seeing the certainty and encouragement from the Senior within the carriage, Yu Long had nothing more to say.

"Kid!"

The Big Black Cat glanced askance at Yu Long, chuckling. "Don't hesitate anymore. Hurry up and lead the way."

Yu Long was taken aback. He looked at the black cat before him, and a look of sudden realization flashed in his eyes.

This voice... didn't I hear it on the mountain peak of the Xuanyang Sect in the Heavenly Moon Dynasty? Wasn't that the black-robed youth? A black coffin materialized in his thoughts...

A wave of inexplicable shock washed over Yu Long, and he blurted out, "You... didn't you enter the Covert Dragon Coffin? How did you get out so quickly?"

Seeing this white-robed young man suddenly trying to pry into the Sect's core secrets, the Big Black Cat snapped irritably, "Stop your incessant nonsense and lead the way!"

"Alright! Alright!"

Yu Long instantly broke into a cold sweat.

He suddenly realized his question had been rather impolite. After all, it was their secret; blurting it out like that was truly improper. Perhaps his recent resurrection had stirred his emotions, causing him to overlook the proper etiquette.

Yu Long turned around, too afraid to say anything more, and immediately headed towards the top of the mountain.

The Big Black Horse pulled the carriage along slowly.

When they reached halfway up the mountain, Ye Yun saw a towering gate guarded by two disciples of Destiny Realm.

"Yu Long, you've been expelled from the Sect! How dare you return?" a disciple stepped forward to block the path, questioning coldly.

"Junior Brothers, I am guiding a Senior to the Nether Immortal Cave. Please do not obstruct us," Yu Long explained courteously, smiling slightly and cupping his fists.

Even though he had been expelled from the Sect, he wasn't yet mentally prepared to act against these two junior brothers, who were only at the First Level of Destiny Realm.

"Yu Long, just get out of here! Your father has been thrown into the dungeons, and you, a nearly dead man, have been banished from the Sect. Don't come back, or we won't be polite!" another disciple roared, drawing his sword, his face contorted with anger.

Yu Long shook his head with a bitter smile.

His father, as an Elder of the Enforcement Hall, had indeed offended many people over the years. Indeed, the father of this sword-drawing junior brother had once been punished by his own father, Yu Long recalled. That was why this disciple harbored such a grudge against both him and his father.

"Junior Brothers, forgive my offense."

Yu Long's figure swayed slightly, emitting the powerful aura of the Peak of the Tenth Level of Destiny Realm.

His entire demeanor changed, becoming like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, no longer resembling his previously half-dead, languishing appearance.

A powerful oppressive force instantly immobilized the two young men, who were only at the First Level of Destiny Realm.

"Weren't you poisoned? How did you suddenly become so strong?" one of the gatekeeping disciples stared at Yu Long, his face a mask of horror as he spoke.

Yu Long, without a word, darted forward like an arrow, tapped both disciples twice to immobilize their bodies, and then stepped back.

"Senior, please excuse my unseemly display. I will continue to lead the way," Yu Long said awkwardly, turning around and bowing courteously, his face slightly flushed.

"Human kindness and coldness are like drinking water; one knows the temperature for oneself. Let's go."

From within the carriage, Ye Yun merely smiled faintly.

Upon hearing that the Senior did not intend to reprimand him, Yu Long felt invigorated, quickened his pace, and swiftly headed towards the mountaintop.

He didn't fly too fast, naturally afraid that the carriage behind him couldn't keep up.

However, when he reached the top of the mountain, he discovered that the carriage had always been steadily right behind him.

Only then did Yu Long realize that the Big Black Horse pulling the carriage must possess an extraordinary cultivation base.

This Senior... must be a mighty figure from the Demon Clan. I wonder why they wish to visit the Nether Immortal Cave. This is Human Race territory; any conflict could easily trigger a massive war between the Human and Demon Clans, Yu Long thought, feeling somewhat apprehensive.

As a Supreme Level sect, the Nether Immortal Cave is unimaginably powerful. Throughout the entire dynasty, no Demon Clan dares to contend with them. This isn't to say the Demon Clan isn't powerful. It's just that within the territory of the Nether Immortal Dynasty, the Human Race holds absolute dominance.

The Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon and the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon remained prostrate and silent throughout.

After all, it was their Master who wanted to go take a look; it had nothing to do with them, the two dragons thought.

Ever since passing through the mountain gate, they encountered no other disciples of the Nether Immortal Cave on their way to the summit.

It wasn't that there were few disciples in the Nether Immortal Cave; rather, most of the time, the disciples of the Nether Immortal Cave were cultivating in the structures within the cave. They only left when they went out to undertake missions.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Ye Yun stepped out.

"Master," the demon beasts on the carriage hurriedly greeted respectfully.

"Mm," Ye Yun nodded.

He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the mist-wreathed entrance of the Nether Immortal Cave before him. Streaks of colorful light subtly shone through the vapor, creating a myriad of phenomena. It was an extraordinarily magnificent sight.

Ye Yun's eyes glittered, as if he could see into the deepest parts of the Nether Immortal Cave with a single glance.

So this is the Senior, Yu Long thought, his spirit shaken.

At that moment, an illusion overcame him: this white-robed Senior seemed like a Wushang Spirit who had stepped out of a painting. He stood resplendently on the carriage, his entire being radiating countless rays of light.
