Chapter 96: Enter through the main gate

Dingfeng Cliff.

The so-called Dingfeng Cliff is at the end of a ridge.

This ridge extends from the distance along the mountain range, and on a large plain it seems to have been flattened by a sword, forming a cliff that is hundreds of meters wide and as smooth as a mirror.

The mountain wind blowing from afar blows on this cliff, sometimes forming a whirlpool and blowing back, and sometimes splitting into two paths, one to the left and the other to the right. Sometimes the mountain wind disappears without a trace here, so it is named Dingfeng Cliff.

All this is because there is a three-meter-square stone cave on the steep cliff of Dingfeng Cliff, which is a hundred meters above the ground. Whichever direction the wind blows on Dingfeng Cliff is caused by this stone cave, so this stone cave is also called Dingfengkou.

At this time, at the foot of the cliff below Dingfengkou, hundreds of people were fighting frantically. These people came from at least five forces.

Not for anything else, just to see who can enter the trend first.

Whenever someone flies towards the Dingfengkou, there will always be someone who soars into the sky and stops them.

At the same time, in the surrounding woods, there were at least two hundred cultivators from various sects hiding who came to watch the fun, including Xiao San and Zhao Yunlong.

"No wonder they are fighting so fiercely, it turns out they are fighting for the Qilin Fruit. Junior Brother Zhao, do you want to join the battle?" Xiao San stood behind a tree and looked at Zhao Yunlong with a serious face:

"It is said that the Ten Thousand Year Kirin Fruit is a rare treasure that can cleanse the essence and marrow, and change the physique and talent. Even a loser can become a genius after eating it. Do you want to fight for it?"

"Third Senior Sister..." Zhao Yunlong analyzed seriously, "Of course we want to compete, but there are too many masters here, I'm afraid we can't win!"

"How do you know if you don't try?" Xiao San said in a deep voice.

"How can I know if I don't try?" Zhao Yunlong finally understood the meaning of Xiao San's words: "Senior Sister, what you mean is that if I want to fight, I have to fight alone?"

"What else?" Xiao San inadvertently imitated Ye Fei's tone: "I don't want to fight. My physique and talent are good enough. I am already a genius and don't need to change. But you, I think your talent and physique still need to be improved!"

Zhao Yunlong: “…”

"Senior Sister, the tradition of Qianxian Sect is that the master cheats the apprentice, and the senior brothers and sisters cheat the junior brothers and sisters?" Zhao Yunlong said with a serious face.

"Look at what you said, how can this be called a trap?" Xiao San said disdainfully: "I'm doing this for your own good. What I mean is, if you want to fight for it, Senior Sister can help you get it!"

"How can you help me rob it?" Zhao Yunlong asked.

"Like this..." Xiao San pointed to the fixed wind outlet a hundred meters above the ground: "When I find a suitable opportunity later, I will fly directly to that cave entrance. If anyone wants to stop me, you will help me stop him in time!"

Zhao Yunlong: “…”

"Third Senior Sister, I'm worried that my junior brother's ability is limited and he may not be able to stop those masters!" Zhao Yunlong said seriously, "Why don't I go in and get the Qilin Fruit myself? Senior Sister, how about you help me stop them?"

"It is because of your limited ability that the risk of entering the cave to get the Qilin fruit is higher. Qilin fruit is such a rare treasure that there must be some ferocious beasts guarding it. That's why I asked you to stay outside the cave to stop other people. Senior sister, this is for your own good, why don't you appreciate it?" Xiao San said seriously.

"Okay, forget about the Qilin Fruit. This is not something you can think about! Even though the treasure is great, you have to be alive to enjoy it!" At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind the two of them. When they looked carefully, they found it was Wang Ergou.

"Master..." Xiao San and Zhao Yunlong shouted in unison.

"Where are those two idiots?" Wang Ergou turned his head and looked around.

"I heard some fighting here before, so I brought Junior Brother Zhao here to see what was going on. I was afraid they were in danger, so I asked them to wait for us in the distance." Xiao San explained:

"Master, don't worry. I have already told Zheng Dao that if anything happens, I will ask him to call me loudly."

Wang Ergou glared at Xiao San and said, "You just throw those two idiots and Zheng Dao aside. It would be strange if nothing happens to them!"

"I asked them to wait here until I come back. They shouldn't run around, right?" Xiao San said.

"Should?" Wang Ergou said coldly, "Do you think they are the kind of obedient people? Let's go and find them. Let's go deep into the demon realm to search for treasures. The spiritual energy inside has actually revived. If we go in a day earlier, we will definitely find a lot of rare spiritual medicines. This time, the kid's illness will definitely be cured."

"Really?" Xiao San said excitedly, "Congratulations, Master. I can finally fulfill my wish."

Xiao San knew that his master had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder and had something on his mind. If he didn't do things well, he would never have peace.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao San took Wang Ergou to the place where they had separated from Ye Fei and the others.

However, when they got there, they didn't see a single person.

Wang Ergou looked at Xiao San with a stern face: "Where is he? Where is he?"

"Zhi, they were clearly here before. I told them not to run around and wait for me to come back." Xiao San pouted, looking aggrieved: "Where did these two idiots go again? They are not going to run away now, are they?"

"Impossible! Even if we ask them to go back, they don't have the guts to do it!" Wang Ergou said in a deep voice: "Something must have happened. How long have you been separated from them?"

"About half an hour, right?" Xiao San said weakly. While speaking, she also stole a glance at Zhao Yunlong, fearing that Zhao Yunlong would expose her.

Because she knew very well that at least an hour and a half had passed since they separated.

She is a martial arts fanatic who loves to delve into the advanced martial arts of various schools. She is also a martial arts genius. Except for those advanced spells that require mental skills and cannot be imitated, she can learn ordinary martial arts to be 70% or 80% similar just by watching others perform them once.

Therefore, when she hid in the woods to watch those people fighting, she was so fascinated that she watched for an hour or two.

“Hey…” Wang Ergou shook his head: “You damn girl, what can I say to you? With their cultivation levels, half an hour is enough for them to die dozens or even hundreds of times.”

"Master..." Xiao San pouted: "Didn't you give him the ancient divine bracelet? Can't you find him based on the soul mark inside? Besides, if he is in danger, he will definitely call you. That kid is not stupid enough to do that, right?"

"Do you know how much soul power I need to consume to use the soul tracking technique?" Wang Ergou said disdainfully.

Xiao San stuck out her tongue and dared not say another word.

"Woof woof woof..." At this moment, a few familiar dog barking sounds came from a distance.

"Proof of the truth?" Xiao San was surprised and ran quickly towards the source of the sound.

Soon, Xiao San, Wang Ergou and Zhao Yunlong met Zheng Dao in the woods a hundred meters away.

“Woof woof woof…” Zheng Dao barked at Xiao San several times in a row, then turned around and ran away.

"What did it say?" Wang Ergou frowned and looked at Xiao San coldly.

"Zheng, Zhengdao told us to go rescue Junior Brother Ye, and also said Junior Brother Ding was stuck." Xiao San looked confused: "Let's go and take a look!"

Then, when Xiao San, Wang Ergou and Zhao Yunlong followed Zheng Dao and ran to a pile of rocks under a cliff, they were all dumbfounded.

But it was seen that the front half of Ding Dashan had already crawled out of a narrow cave, but the back half was stuck in the cave.

Ding Dashan stretched out his hands to Wang Ergou: "Master, hurry up and pull me out..."

Snapped!

Wang Ergou slapped Ding Dashan on the head one by one: "I'm going to pull you out, I'm going to pull your head out, where's your senior brother?"

"Hehe..." Hearing Wang Ergou's question, Ding Dashan's face instantly turned red: "Master, my brother and I found the Qilin Fruit, but my brother is trapped there. I am not good at Qinggong, so I can't fly far. You have to go in and save him!"

"What?" Wang Ergou, Xiao San and Zhao Yunlong were all so shocked that their jaws dropped.

"What's going on? Tell me quickly!" Wang Ergou shouted coldly.

“It’s like this…”

Then, Ding Dashan told Wang Ergou and the others everything that had happened before. After listening, Wang Ergou suddenly staggered a few steps and then sat down on the ground.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Xiao San grabbed Wang Ergou's arm with a worried look on his face.

Wang Ergou shook his head, glanced at Xiao San, and said weakly through voice transmission: "I saw that Qilin grass three thousand years ago. Three thousand years ago, it only had seven leaves, and the fruit was only the size of a little finger. Back then, I and some friends tried to seize the Qilin grass, but the result was..."

"What's the result?" Xiao San asked curiously.

"It alarmed the Fire Qilin in the Qilin Cave below the Dingfengkou!" Wang Ergou looked frightened.

"What happened next?" Xiao San asked again.

"We were more than ten Soul Origin Realm experts who went down together. Later, they all stayed there and were buried in the belly of the Qilin. Only your master's wife and I were the last to go down. When we saw that the situation was not right, we ran away immediately, so we were lucky enough to save our lives." Wang Ergou shook his head with fear on his face:

"Now, you should understand why I said that the Qilin Fruit is not something you should think about, right? It is not something that ordinary people can get. Even a Soul Yuan Realm expert would die if he went down there, let alone you.

Besides, in the woods where you were before, there were at least ten Dan Yuan realm masters nearby. Not to mention that you couldn't reach the Dingfengkou at all, even if you were lucky enough to reach it, these Dan Yuan realm masters could easily kill you in seconds."

"Gululu..." Xiao San swallowed his saliva and said, "Have all these experts arrived?"

"Hmph, one ripe thousand-year-old Qilin fruit can completely change one's physique. Even a loser can become a genius overnight. Three Qilin fruits are enough to make all the major families in the Wuyuan Star Region fight over them." Wang Ergou curled his lips in disdain.

"But who can get it alive in the end? I'm afraid no one can get it. Even if you get it, you can't walk out of Qilin Cave alive. Humph, what are you fighting for? No matter how hard you fight, in the end it's all in vain. Everything is in vain."

"Then, is that Fire Kirin so powerful?" Xiao San looked fearful.

"Hmph, it's more than powerful! When we saw it three thousand years ago, it was already a mid-stage Heavenly Rank monster. Back then, it could already speak human language. Now, another three thousand years have passed. I guess it must be at least a late-stage Heavenly Rank monster. This is enough to be called the number one monster on land. Do you think it's powerful?" Wang Ergou said slowly.

"Ah?" Xiao San almost dropped his jaw in shock. "But, aren't we still in the outer reaches of the demon realm? Are there such powerful demon beasts in the outer reaches?"

“It is said that it was once a demon general sent by the Demon King to guard the southern gate of the Demon Realm. In the battle between the ancient gods, it was seriously injured. After fleeing here, it hid deep in the magma underground and luckily escaped.” Wang Ergou let out a long sigh: “Ah…”

"Master, then... if you say so, Junior Brother Thirteen is doomed!" Xiao San blamed himself: "Master, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I hadn't abandoned Junior Brother Thirteen, they wouldn't have run around without permission..."

"What's the point of saying this now!" Wang Ergou interrupted Xiao San: "Now that things have come to this, you don't have to blame yourself too much."

"Master, Senior Sister, Junior Brother Zhao, please help me pull it out and let me catch my breath!" At this moment, Ding Dashan shouted again.

Wang Ergou turned around and looked at Ding Dashan who was stuck at the entrance of the cave. He stood up and walked over, kicking Ding Dashan's head continuously.

"Hey, Master, what are you doing..."

"Oh, Master..."

"Wang Ergou, don't go too far..."

"what……"

……

Wang Ergou kicked Ding Dashan six or seven times in a row and kicked him back in.

Half an hour later.

In a passage inside the cave, Wang Ergou, Xiao San, Ding Dashan, Zhao Yunlong, and Zhengdao, four people and one dog, stared blankly at the passage that was filled with magma, and everyone's faces looked very unhappy.

The temperature of the magma has not completely subsided, but it is not difficult to see that the magma flowed into this channel not long ago.

"Zheng Dao, are you sure this is really the way?" Wang Ergou asked again. This was the third time he asked about Zheng Dao.

“Woof woof woof…” Zheng Dao barked again.

Xiao San looked at Wang Ergou weakly and explained, "Master, it, it said yes, it said it must be correct."

"Okay!" Wang Ergou nodded: "This is the only way!"

"Master, I'm sorry..." Xiao San suddenly cried, "Wuwu, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have left my fellow apprentices. If I had stayed with them, they wouldn't have come here..."

"Why are you crying? Your junior brother won't die so soon!" Wang Ergou suddenly said in a cold voice: "Until now, the soul mark of the ancient divine bracelet has not disappeared, which means that at least he is not dead yet!"

Wang Ergou suddenly changed the subject and said coldly, "Let's go! Since this road is blocked, let's go in through the main gate and rescue him!"
