Kangnan, on the west bank of Qionghai.

Cheng Xinzhan and Zhou Qingyun stood side by side.

Zhou Qingyun flipped her hand, and the azure Moon Soul Flying Sword, only three inches long, appeared in her palm.

Like Tao Du, this sword is in the style of a pre-Qin sword. Yue Po is a Yue Kingdom women's sword, which is more delicate and beautiful than Tao Du.

Cheng Xinzhan was quite familiar with this sword.

He also turned his hand over.

With a flick of her wrist, Zhou Qingyun sent the Moon Soul Sword into Cheng Xinzhan's hand.

The moon spirit seemed to recognize Cheng Xinzhan, and did not resist the change of hands, lying quietly in his palm.

He then flipped his left hand over, and Taodu appeared in his palm.

"Bah!"

Upon seeing Tao Du, Yue Po let out a clear, melodious sword cry, and flew from Cheng Xinzhan's right palm to his left, transforming into a jade rabbit that circled around Tao Du. Tao Du was also delighted, responding with her sword cry, transforming into a celestial rooster, and intertwining her neck with the jade rabbit's, nuzzling against it.

"Moon Spirit still recognizes you, and Peach Capital doesn't blame Moon Spirit either."

As Zhou Qingyun watched this scene, she couldn't help but think of the day she first met Huangshan and the day the peach tree was broken. Her nose tingled, and she almost burst into tears.

Cheng Xinzhan flipped his hand, and both flying swords were stored inside his body. He chuckled softly.
"What's past is past."

Zhou Qingyun smiled and nodded vigorously.

"Ok!"

Then, she awkwardly took something out of her bosom and quickly stuffed it into Cheng Xinzhan's hand. The two were close at this moment, and Cheng Xinzhan couldn't dodge in time. Before she knew it, she felt something in her hand.

He looked down and saw it was a sachet, only half the size of Zhou Qingyun's palm. The sachet was white with black spots, quite beautiful, seemingly leopard spots, and appeared to be made of snow leopard skin. The sachet's drawstring and tassels were also white, giving it a very simple and elegant look.

"This is?"

Zhou Qingyun lowered her head.
"This is a leopard pouch, which can hold a vast expanse of space within a mustard seed. However, unlike ordinary cave stone talismans, this pouch can hold living creatures. Brother, you have a lion mount, which is fine for traveling to and from the immortal mountains on ordinary days. But now that you need to infiltrate the demon's lair, it's inconvenient to bring the lion along. However, if you don't bring it, you'll be missing a capable helper. At this time, you can put the lion into the leopard pouch, which is convenient to carry."

Cheng Xinzhan looked at the object in his hand, surprised that it was a treasure capable of containing living creatures, and said...
"Is this item too valuable?"

Zhou Qingyun shook her head repeatedly and said,

"It's not valuable at all. I obtained the leopard skin through a trade and then sewed it myself. Besides, as the old saying goes, 'A gentleman's appearance changes like a leopard's, its patterns are magnificent,' this item perfectly suits your refined character. Brother Dao, this is merely a storage container. You have helped me greatly; how can a mere magical treasure repay you? Please accept it."

The leopard-shaped pouch emitted a delicate fragrance. Cheng Xinzhan hesitated slightly. He wasn't a Taoist raised in the immortal mountains; he had lived in the mortal realm for over a decade before cultivating, so he naturally knew what a woman giving him a pouch meant. However, she repeatedly said it was just a storage device, and refusing it would seem like he was overthinking things. Besides, the gift was indeed quite useful. After considering it, Cheng Xinzhan accepted it.
"Then I'll shamelessly accept it."

Zhou Qingyun nodded with a smile, appearing extremely happy. However, this was quickly followed by a pang of sadness at parting. She said...
"Brother, please be careful on your journey. Do not force anything. Preserving your life is more important than anything else."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded.

"The current situation is one of great contention, with bloodshed on the horizon. The Xuanmen sect is caught in the vortex. You are seeking the Dao at Emei, so please be careful in everything you do."

"Brother Dao, I know."

"treasure."

"treasure."

The lion waited not far away, watching the two bid each other a reluctant farewell, yawned widely, and became even more convinced that his thoughts were correct.

But when Cheng Xinzhan arrived, the lion quickly put on a meek and obedient act.

Cheng Xinzhan patted the lion and said,

"You blockhead, you're so lucky. When you're sleepy, someone brings you a fragrant nest."

The lion was puzzled by these words.

Cheng Xinzhan then took out the sachet and opened the binding.
“You usually only care about sleeping and being lazy, and you don’t think about cultivating. Even now, your transformation skills are still not up to par. The smallest you can be is the size of an ordinary lion. I was planning to transform you into a dung beetle and sneak you in, but now Qingyun has done us a great favor. This bag can hold living things, so you can come in directly with me into the Demon Cave.”

The lion was overjoyed upon hearing this. As a majestic lion and mountain king, he would rather die than be transformed into a dung beetle. Now that he had the sachet to live in, why not? Moreover, with the sachet, he would no longer need to cultivate the art of transformation, since his master would take him everywhere he went.

"Please perform the spell, sir!"

Cheng Xinzhan made a hand seal, pointed at the lion, and the lion soared into the air, then gradually shrank and fell into the pouch.

After capturing the lion, he tightened the opening of the pouch and then hung the leopard pouch around his waist.

Lu Linqing was waiting at the foot of Lion Mountain. When he saw Cheng Xinzhan coming over, he smiled and said,
"Is Yunlai going to become the son-in-law of my Emei Sect?"

Cheng Xinzhan smiled bitterly upon hearing this.

"Linqing, please don't tease me. It was just Fellow Daoist Zhou who lent me his sword and verbally taught me the techniques."

Lu Linqing laughed. He was just saying it casually. There weren't many people in Emei that he liked. Zhou Qingyun with the Green Chain Sword was one of them. There were even fewer outside Emei. Yun Lai was one of them. If these two could get together, he would be very happy to see it.

Lu Linqing's jokes were meant to relax him, but after he finished laughing, he spoke solemnly.

"If things are impossible, there's no need to force them. We both have bright futures ahead and hope for immortality. There's no need to fight this demon to the death."

Cheng Xinzhan showed no sign of nervousness, and replied with a smile.
"That's for sure. I'll add one more thing: if it comes to that, everyone should run for their own lives. Don't miss your chance to escape while trying to save each other. If someone is truly destined to die, the one who escapes should live well, cultivate diligently, and avenge their friend in the future."

Lu Linqing nodded, but in his heart he wished his joke could come true. He sighed and said,
"Someone like you isn't a disciple of Emei?"

Cheng Xinzhan smiled.

"Fellow Daoist, what you say is about seeking the Great Dao, not about your lineage or social standing."

"well said!"

Lu Linqing's face revealed genuine emotion and excitement. Having fought this battle, the two could be considered friends who had gone through thick and thin together. He felt that in nearly a hundred years, he had never met such a kindred spirit.

At the same time, he was also somewhat worried about this confidant. If the demon-slaying attempt failed, he was quite confident he could escape by using his primordial spirit sword escape technique and manipulating the "Lieque Hook" to tear through the void. He just didn't know what other tricks this confidant had up his sleeve. But such matters were best left unsaid; saying too much would only make him seem timid and hesitant. Lu Linqing thought for a moment, then refrained from asking. All sorts of thoughts welled up in his mouth, but only four words came out…
"See you at the Dragon Cave."

"See you at the Dragon Cave."

The two then parted ways.

According to the plan, Cheng Xinzhan will enter from the North and West gates, while Lu Linqing will enter from the South and Rat gates.

Lu Linqing went to a farther place, and Cheng Xinzhan watched him transform into a white sword light and disappear into the sky.

Cheng Xinzhan also summoned his bamboo body and separated a wisp of his primordial spirit to reside within it. After thinking for a moment, he hung the leopard pouch on his avatar. No one knew the situation inside the cave, and the avatar had not yet undergone the tribulation of lightning. If anything unexpected happened when sealing the cave entrance, the lion could also lend a hand.

He also had an avatar and a primordial spirit placed in Dianwen Tengchong, which was his final trump card. Even if his main body and bamboo body failed to escape, he could still rebuild his cultivation with just his primordial spirit. Moreover, he had now clearly defined his Dharma form and Dao will, and his understanding of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements and other laws was deeply imprinted in his primordial spirit, so rebuilding his cultivation would not be difficult.

Of course, Cheng Xinzhan was still confident. With so many preparations and so many magical treasures at his disposal, he shouldn't need to resort to such a backup plan. What Cheng Xinzhan was worried about was Lu Linqing, this truly passionate man. Having been invited into the demon's lair, he wondered what foolproof backup plan Lu Linqing might have.

But it's not appropriate to ask about such things in detail, since it's someone else's secret. Besides, if I were to open my mouth, it would make me, the one who took the initiative to eliminate the demon, seem defeated before even starting the battle and lose my edge.

However, good and evil cannot coexist, and my heart is not at peace; I have no choice but to slay the demon.

So, one body went south and the other west, transforming into a rainbow and flying away.

Cheng Xinzhan was heading to the North Gate when he arrived at the Luoji Mountain area and landed on a pile of rocks on the shady side of the mountain.

Having fought against Longdong for a long time, Qionghai Jiange had a good understanding of the terrain and had made a very thorough plan. They had marked out the routes from the outer perimeter of the tunnel to the four gates of Longdong for Cheng Xinzhan and Lu Linqing.

Cheng Xinzhan made a sword incantation with his hands, pointed to the ground, and a sword aura burst forth, shooting straight into the ground and creating a deep hole about two fingers thick.

"Change!"

He made hand gestures and chanted incantations, transforming himself into a yellow cicada, its color similar to earth.

He has seventeen years of past dreams of cicadas, and with the [Change] spell, even without the "Mysterious and Leak-Free Talisman," it is likely that people in the same realm would not be able to see through him.

As Huang Chan flew down the small hole, the underground world felt strangely familiar. He felt no discomfort in breathing; on the contrary, he felt as if he were in his own water. Cheng Xinzhan guessed that this might also be related to the "Huangji Zhengwu Sha".

After flying down for about twenty feet, the view suddenly opened up, and they found themselves in the tunnel dug by the demon.

The underground was noisy, filled with the shouts of various demons, the footsteps of various insects, and the sounds of insects chewing sand, all echoing endlessly in the tunnel.

Cheng Xinzhan knew that the Xuanmen were filling the tunnel with sand to lure out the demons to clean it up. Not far from where he was, a group of termites were gnawing on the sand.

He ignored the warnings and flew south without a care in the world, and no one noticed him along the way.

After flying for a good quarter of an hour, the tunnel suddenly widened, and a huge round hole appeared before them. The tunnel beyond this round hole was clearly different from the one Cheng Xinzhan had come through; it was not damp earthen walls, but rather gleamed with a jade-like luster. Moreover, no fluorite was used for lighting; the jade walls emitted their own light, a soft white glow.

Above the cave entrance are four large ancient seal characters:

Zhuanxu Dragon Cave.

The journey was uneventful, and we arrived at the North Gate.

He could clearly see that there was an entry and exit restriction on the huge doorway, a thin, foamy membrane that shimmered with moisture. But Cheng Xinzhan knew that this was the entrance restriction of the demon's lair, and naturally it wouldn't be as fragile as it appeared on the surface.

In fact, Qionghai Sword Pavilion had already captured many demonic cultivators and interrogated them thoroughly. The spiritual energy inside the Dragon Cave was incomparable to that of the outer tunnels. Demons below the third realm could not enter the Dragon Cave and cultivated in the outer tunnels. Only the confidants of the Five Poisons Heavenly King were allowed to enter the cave to cultivate among demons above the third realm.

The four most trusted demon generals of the Five Poisons King served as gatekeepers of the four gates, holding the gate tokens that allowed free entry and exit from the Dragon Cave. Others who wanted to enter or exit had to have the gatekeepers open the restrictions to allow them to pass.

Cheng Xinzhan looked to the side of the doorway, where an empty stone chamber was nestled. A person sat at the entrance of the chamber, meditating with his eyes closed. His gaze fell on the demon's waist, where a waist tag was tied.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I've arrived at the door."

Cheng Xinzhan conveyed his innermost thoughts to Lu Linqing.

After a while, Lu Linqing's voice came back.
"I've arrived too."

"Did you see the waist tag?" "Yes, I saw it."

"Shall we make a move?"

Cheng Xinzhan asked, "There's no one here on my side or on my avatar's side right now."

"Wait a moment. I have a squad of demon soldiers here delivering sand to the demon guarding the gate."

Lu Linqing said.

"it is good."

A moment later, Lu Linqing's voice came over.
"Prepare to make your move. Obtain the waist token in ten breaths."

"it is good."

Cheng Xinzhan agreed, and then secretly transmitted his thoughts to the insect.
"Xiao Bao, it's up to you now."

"Don't worry, sir!"

Xiao Bao was clearly very confident.

Then, a wisp of smoke emanated from Huang Chan's body and drifted towards the stone chamber on the opposite high place.

Cheng Xinzhan had also made contingency plans. If the demon unexpectedly possessed some kind of defensive treasure that could detect insects, he would use the [Fix] and [Capture] spells to quickly seize the waist token and enter the cave.

However, one was a celestial insect descended to earth, and the other was a demon general guarding the gate. Cheng Xinzhan was overthinking it. After ten breaths, he saw the guard's head suddenly droop down, and immediately began to snore.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Xinzhan transformed back into human form, and the insect flew back as well.

At that moment, his ears twitched, and he heard a crawling sound coming from afar. Cheng Xinzhan knew that a group of demon soldiers had come, probably to hand over the soil and sand to the demon general.

Cheng Xinzhan immediately released a mirage cloud, which drifted outwards. The pair of demon soldiers who came were only minor demons of the first or second realm, and a mirage cloud was enough to trap them.

He flew into the stone chamber and snatched the doorplate from the demon's waist. At the same time, he saw many cloth bags next to the demon. Some of the bags were not tied tightly. Cheng Xinzhan knew at a glance that they were condensed earth sand, which was a good material for refining earth-elemental magic treasures and could also be used to supplement "Dutian Liuji Sha". So Cheng Xinzhan put them all away.

With the waist token in hand and the demon still fast asleep, Cheng Xinzhan's murderous intent surged. He no longer cared about waking the demon. A glint flashed in his eyes, and the Peach Thorn pierced through, directly into the demon's head. This demon lacked the Purple Palace Treasure to protect its primordial spirit; the flying sword instantly pierced through, shattering its primordial spirit to pieces. In the blink of an eye, sword energy descended from the twelfth floor, breaking through the central palace and striking the Yellow Court. Immediately afterward, a ball of sword energy carrying the demon's golden core burst forth from its abdomen.

A four-fold demon lord died just like that.

Cheng Xinzhan sheathed his flying sword and golden core, leaped out of the stone chamber, and flew directly into the Dragon Cave. As he passed through the Dragon Cave, a black halo shone from the waist token on his hand, illuminating the thin membrane of water. The black light then broke open a gap in the barrier, and Cheng Xinzhan flew inside.

On the other side, the bamboo staff clone also used the sleep mist that the insects had spat out beforehand to incapacitate the gatekeeper demon, obtain the waist token, kill the demon with the Youdu Flying Sword, and has already entered the Dragon Cave.

"We've entered the cave."

Cheng Xinzhan simultaneously transmitted his voice to Lu Linqing and Ye Yuanjing.

About two breaths later, Lu Linqing's voice came over.
"We've entered the cave."

"Okay, take action as soon as you hear the noise."

Ye Yuanjing said.

Cheng Xinzhan waited quietly.

"boom!"

A tremendous sound came from the depths of the Dragon Cave, causing the entire underground to tremble and shake. Immediately afterwards, a flood-like wave of air surged out from the depths of the Dragon Cave, making Cheng Xinzhan's robes flutter wildly.

"Emei! You've ruined me!"

Then, another hoarse roar echoed from the depths of the Dragon Cave. Its sound was like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves, deafening and as if tens of thousands of insects were chirping in unison underground.

As soon as the loud noise rang out, Cheng Xinzhan had already summoned the "Bijia Xuan Tie Shield". This shield was round, shaped like a tortoise shell, with neatly arranged tortoise shell patterns on it, but it also shone with a golden and iron luster. Moreover, after it was summoned, the shield was immediately covered with white frost.

He formed the magic seal taught to him by Zhou Qingyun, and the treasure shield grew larger and larger in an instant, exceeding three zhang in size, firmly blocking the cave entrance. Then, the treasure shield emitted a faint white light, and a chill emanated from it. Immediately afterward, thick ice formed on the shield and spread to the inner walls of the Dragon Cave. In just four or five breaths, five feet thick and dozens of zhang of black ice had formed.

Hopefully, this precious shield will not fail to live up to its reputation.

Cheng Xinzhan sighed.

"The south gate is locked."

At this moment, Cheng Xinzhan heard Lu Linqing's telepathic message.

"The north and west gates are locked."

Cheng Xinzhan replied with a sentence.

"Testing the dead."

The two said in unison.

Immediately, Cheng Xinzhan walked deeper into the Dragon Cave, slipped into a side path, and activated the "Dutian Liuji Sha". The evil energy clung to the dragon wall, and in just a few breaths, the white jade-like dragon wall began to melt like ice.

Cheng Xinzhan immediately stopped.

"it works!"

"Can dissolve"

The two spoke in unison, and both could hear the excitement in each other's words. This meant that even if the cave entrance changed and they couldn't get out, they would have another way out.

But at this moment, Cheng Xinzhan's expression changed. He felt a breeze, but it wasn't a real wind; it was a breeze of divine sense!
"Four rats have entered my dragon cave. You lot, go and catch them!"

The voice of the Five Poison King echoed in the cave, but at this moment, the old demon's voice was no longer as manic as before, but rather sinister, like that of a ghost.

"careful!"

Cheng Xinzhan said something and immediately found a side cave, flying westward. His immediate priority was to reunite with his avatar to avoid being defeated one by one. Fortunately, the map of the Dragon Cave provided by Emei was very detailed, so he didn't have to go in circles or get lost. Moreover, Qionghai Sword Pavilion had been using various methods to launch a large-scale attack, luring the demons out of the Dragon Cave, so he didn't immediately encounter any demons coming to surround and intercept him.

"Hiss—hiss—"

But at that moment, Cheng Xinzhan suddenly heard the chirping of insects, and the sound gradually grew louder, accompanied by a foul, fishy stench.

Cheng Xinzhan looked in the direction of the sound, using his pupil technique. His emerald eyes pierced through the stone wall, and his crimson pupils searched for demonic energy. Soon, he saw a huge red shadow, twenty or thirty feet long, rapidly approaching him.

At the same time, he sensed that another demon had gone to the avatar's side. Judging from its speed and the aura it emitted, it was a Golden Core cultivator at around the third level of purification. It should be a confidant of the Five Poisons Heavenly King, and it had stayed in the cave without going out.

"The dragon centipede has come to my side, along with a golden pill that has been washed three times."

Cheng Xinzhan told Lu Linqing about his situation.

"Two demons have also come here to intercept me and my avatar. They both look to be at the fourth or fifth level of the Shattered Realm, but I haven't seen the Five Poisons Heavenly King."

Lu Linqing sent back a message.

"Alright, be careful."

Cheng Xinzhan gave a reply and then stopped being distracted.

The dragon centipede was incredibly fast. After only ten breaths, Cheng Xinzhan saw a red-headed centipede, twenty or thirty feet long, emerge from a side cave behind him, no more than fifty feet away.

This strange insect was entirely black, except for its head, which was covered in bright red scales, and atop its head was a chair made of fine gold. Two golden dragon whiskers grew from the centipede's mouth, and, unlike the day the Five Poison King escaped, this insect had grown red mane on its neck—dragon mane!

It seems that this insect has gained a lot of benefits after the Five Poison Kings occupied the Dragon Cave.

The strange insect opened its blood-red maw, emitting a foul stench, and spat out a long, bright red, three-headed flying fork that shot towards Cheng Xinzhan.

Cheng Xinzhan neither dodged nor evaded, but simply made a hand seal, and suddenly a dazzling light burst forth from his body. Immediately afterwards, purple flames ignited, quickly engulfing him and burning fiercely, filling the entire passage.

"Whoosh!"

The flying fork pierced the air with a sharp screech, striking the ball of fire. However, the next moment, it flew out through the flames, leaving no blood on the fork; it had struck nothing.

"Hey! Hiss!"

The centipede hissed, seemingly not understanding what was happening.

The strange insect controlled the flying fork to turn around and plunge back into the flames.

He passed through the fire again, as if the fire was just fire and the person had disappeared.

At the same time, the flames flew through the cave at an even faster speed than before. Moreover, these flames were strange; as they flew forward at great speed, they did not go out in the places they passed through. The flames continued to burn fiercely in the air, leaving behind an indelible trail, like a long, lingering rainbow of fire.

The dragon centipede pursued relentlessly and plunged headlong into the flames.

The insect thought the flames in the burrow were just a decoy, and the flickering light left behind by its flight was a misleading illusion. It assumed the person was hiding within the flames and went in to search. But once it plunged into the fire, it realized its power. The flames quickly clung to its body, burning fiercely, causing the insect to hiss and scream in pain, and it immediately retreated.

The demonic insects, with their mortal eyes, did not recognize Cheng Xinzhan's magic. This was the Emei secret technique, "Heavenly Light Transformation Rainbow Technique," which he obtained from Tong Yuanqi of Xichuan Sword Pavilion in exchange for his military merits in exorcising demons in Xikang.

This technique originates from the Fire Escape technique within the Five Elements Escape Arts, but it possesses unique and wondrous aspects. After transforming into fire, one can vanish into the void, becoming invisible and impervious to weapons. Furthermore, this technique incorporates the concept of leaving a trace, allowing one to leave a spark in the void upon flight, ensuring the continued burning of the magical fire. The duration and power of this technique's flames in the air depend on the caster's understanding of fire magic and void magic, as well as the magical fire used.

Legend has it that Tong Yuanqi, a master of this technique in the Emei Sect, possesses the "Crimson Rainbow Trapping Void Qi," which allows him to use Qi fire to create a rainbow that can last for a full day and night.

This kind of energy is rare. In fact, this energy fire can be considered as fire in the sky. However, the rainbow fire is born from the true fire of the sun shining on the clouds and water. If we don't consider the energy meaning and only talk about the flame, it is still not as domineering as the solar fire directly refined from the sunlight.

Although Cheng Xinzhan has not studied this method for long, he believes that he has some understanding of fire magic and void magic. If he uses the fire of the sun, he cannot currently keep the rainbow for a whole day and night, but he can do it for half the time without any problem.

However, at this moment, Cheng Xinzhan did not want to use Yang Fire directly to deal with this dragon centipede, lest the Five Poison Heavenly King be on guard. He only used Earthly Fiend Purple Fire, but it was enough to give this long worm a hard time.

Purple Fire was originally the essence of underground flames in the Southern Frontier. At this moment, it was exactly what it wanted in the underground dragon cave, burning brighter and brighter. Cheng Xinzhan left a purple rainbow in the passage and left.

"You stupid bug, go around it!"

Facing the surging purple flames before it, the dragon centipede probed several times, only to be met with pain each time, retreating after each attempt to penetrate less than a hundred feet. Just then, it heard a roar from the Five Poison King, and only then did the insect belatedly realize what was happening. With a hiss, it found a side path and went around it.

But this is understandable. It was originally a strange spirit insect, but after the Five Poisons King obtained it, he insisted on nailing a fine gold chair on the insect's head, which ruined its mind. Now it can only obey orders.

Having temporarily shaken off the dragon centipede, Cheng Xinzhan drew closer and closer to his bamboo staff incarnation. At the same time, he secretly sighed, thinking that the Five Poisons King was too cautious. Four outsiders had entered his lair, yet he was reluctant to personally show himself and instead sent his few remaining subordinates to test the waters.

Furthermore, it's unknown how badly Ye Yuanjing injured the demon with that attack.
