章節 17: Devil's Cave

Because it was late at night, everyone at the sect was either busy cultivating or asleep. So, not many people noticed Lily's arrival.

After walking for a while, Lily and Yu Jing arrived deep inside the sect. In front of Yu Jing was a small, spacious hall. This is where the sect master of Devil's Cave, Lily's father, resides.

Entering the hall, they saw an old man sitting cross legged on a futon. Even if he looked harmless, Yu Jing knew this man was a 9th Stage Gold Core Realm demon.

"Father, I am back." Lily cupped her hands and greeted her father respectfully.

The old man opened his eyes, revealing his colorless pair of eyes. He gave Yu Jing a quick glance before resting his eyes on his daughter.

Yu Jing's heart froze for a bit, as if he had fallen in a cave made of ice. Fortunately, that feeling left quickly. 'That gaze… He really had the thought of killing me. Did he guess my identity? I think not. If he had, I would have already died. Maybe that is how he sees everyone.'

While Yu Jing was drifting along in his own wave of thoughts, Lily and her father were having their own conversation.

"Lily, why are you here? Did something happen inside the sect?"

"No, father. We were sent on a mission in a small town by the sect..."

Lily began to explain everything that occurred in the sect ruin, except for the parts where Yu Jing was involved and all the information they got from the Mist Valley sect master. She also said that all of her guards died in the hands of an evil cultivator except Yu Jing. Without any help, they could find out why there was such a phenomenon in the sect ruin.

"I see. You go to rest now. I will solve the matter of the sect ruins later."

"Thank you, father." After saying her goodbye, Lily was about to leave with Yu Jing when suddenly her father stopped her.

"What is wrong, father?"

"You can leave, but I have to ask your guard a few things."

Giving a quick glance at Yu Jing, Lily left with a smirk.

After Lily left the hall, the entire place fell into a strange silence.

The Devil's Cave sect master asked with a calm face. "Is everything she said true? Or is she omitting something?"

Yu Jing instantly knelt and said it with reverence. "Everything the miss said was true, Lord. Lord, please forgive this subordinate's incompetence. I wasn't able to do anything against that evil cultivator. The most I could do was run away with the miss."

"Well, what you did is right. Lily's life is far more precious than any of yours. If you arrived safely without her, then you would be as good as dead."

"Thank you, Lord, for forgiving me."

"You can leave now. Go join a squad. We will start our plan very soon."

"Yes lord." Yu Jing left in calm steps, but the heart inside his chest was beating rapidly. He had never felt this close to death. 'I was so close to getting discovered. How can those cunning protagonists do it so easily? Nope, I should never do anything like this in the future. I have to finish this event fast and find a good spot to lay leisurely and enjoy my life.'

As Yu Jing's silhouette disappeared from the hall, there were only a few words reverberating inside it.

"Who are you? And what is the goal of the person behind you?"

…

Yu Jing didn't know the Devil's Cave sect master had already seen through his petty disguise. The only reason he was alive was because the sect master wanted to catch the person behind him. Because a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator like him could not have the power to do anything against his sect.

If Yu Jing now knew all of this, he would just laugh. Because Yu Jing's goal was just to stay in this sect for a few days at least.

Right now, Yu Jing is inside one of Lily's guard rooms. The whole room was organized, so Yu Jing didn't have to waste time fixing it just for a few days' stay.

Yu Jing had thought of many ways to spread the news of inheritance as a credible source of news, but all of them felt like a hassle for him.

Finding no other easy solution, Yu Jing set his eyes on his system, especially on the pulls he got from the event.

Yu Jing told the system to give him all four pulls he has. Looking at the relatively small four Extreme Destiny Pulls in front of him, Yu Jing prayed silently. 'Please, if there is any deity in this world, bless me with luck. Give me a prop.'

Yu Jing pulled all the strings simultaneously and waited patiently to see what he got. Not having much trust in his luck, he didn't want to get disappointed by every pull.

[ You got 1x Random Dragon Egg ]

[ You got 4x Random Blue Grade Sword ]

[ You got 7x Global Mic ]

[ You got 122x Spirit Grass Seed ]

Yu Jing didn't look at other rewards, even if they were some godly items. The only rewards that caught his eye were the Global Mic.

He quickly clicked on it to affirm what he had on his mind.

[ Global Mic - You can send a 250 word massage to the entire world. (To add special effects, check the settings) ]

After finishing reading it, Yu Jing wanted to laugh out loud, letting everyone know how happy he was.

'Hahaha… who can say they are luckier than me? The thing I want manifests itself! Now, I don't have to do anything. Goodbye Lily. I hope you can find peace in hell with your father in the afterlife.'

Yu Jing laid down on the bed with a big smile on his face as he praised himself arrogantly. With such excitement, Yu Jing wouldn't be able to sleep tonight at all, yet he also couldn't cultivate properly with such a mind.

So the only thing he could do was stare at the rotten wooden ceiling with a grin.
