Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 188 The Boundless Cave Master Falls into a Trap

Changping Prefecture, Changye County, Shiwang Cave.

Master Mingyu sat on a large rock in front of the ruins of Shiwang Cave, holding a piece of red paper in one hand and a pair of scissors in the other. In the blink of an eye, he cut out a beautiful paper-cut window decoration.

Holding up the paper-cut window decoration, he carefully admired it in the sunlight, then nodded in satisfaction. Daoist Mingyu smiled and said, "The Lord of Wuliang Cave is also a local overlord of Baishi Prefecture. He can fly through the air and come and go without a trace. Moreover, he has a mastery of poison skills. If he were to attack the common people, he could slaughter a city and destroy a town in the blink of an eye."

If he learns of our background first, knows that we care for the people and collect incense offerings, and therefore avoids direct confrontation but instead acts recklessly in Changping Prefecture, then finding him will be very difficult.

Master Mingyu stroked the paper-cut window decoration and continued, "If he hides back in Wuliang Cave, the only way we can make a move is to go to Baishi Mansion, which will attract the attention of Huangtiantan."

Master Qingyuan understood. "So we took the initiative to tell him that Rong Wen died in Shi Wang Cave, so that he could come to Shi Wang Cave to investigate and we could lead him into the battlefield."

“That’s right.” Daoist Mingyu put down the window lattice and looked into the distance. “The Stone King Cave is now in ruins and is not the main site of the Great Luo Palace, so it won’t arouse his suspicion.”

Master Qingyuan then asked, "Then why are we waiting here? Can't we just lie in ambush with the others?"

“If there’s nothing here, he might just fly away after circling in the sky. If we can’t catch him, there will be endless trouble in the future,” Master Mingyu explained. “Only by luring him down can we be sure to trap him here.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Daoist Yansong's notification came through the minds of both Daoist Mingyu and Daoist Qingyuan: "They've arrived."

The next moment, a streak of emerald light flashed across the sky. Rong Xuan hovered above the Stone King Cave. With a sweep of his divine sense, he saw two old men in blue robes, one sitting and one standing, in front of the ruins of the Stone King Cave.

Master Mingyu and Master Qingyuan only felt a divine thought sweep over them, and their internal magical power reacted accordingly, thus revealing that they were no ordinary people either.

Looking up, the two saw a dwarf less than 1.2 meters tall descend from the sky, casually tossing a two-meter-tall man aside.

The dwarf had a large head and a small body. His messy green hair grew on top of his head and he didn't take care of it. Paired with a slightly tight brownish-yellow short shirt, he looked like a big nail.

Rong Xuan looked at the two old men. One old man had a serene expression and pure, deep eyes. The other old man, although slightly nervous, had a calm and composed demeanor. Although his cultivation was not high, his background was by no means ordinary.

Rong Xuan didn't care at all. He just grinned, reached out and grabbed the two of them, and his magic power surged out.

Daoist Mingyu and Daoist Qingyuan felt a weight on their bodies as a heavy magical force pressed down on their shoulders, seemingly about to force them to their knees.

“I’m not used to talking to people with my head up,” Rong Xuan sneered.

"I'm not used to kneeling either." Master Mingyu snorted and stood up from the stone, his body radiating golden light, as if he had transformed into a god.

Master Qingyuan didn't speak, but with a circulation of his internal energy, the heavy pressure on his shoulders was dispelled by the yin-yang energy flowing within him and channeled into the ground beneath his feet, without even causing his shoulders to sway.

"Ok?"

A fierce glint flashed in Rong Xuan's eyes. He hadn't expected that two so-called mages with only three hundred years of cultivation could withstand his magical suppression. A wisp of colorless, odorless, and barely perceptible poisonous gas spread out along with his magical power.

"laugh--"

Master Mingyu's protective golden light easily neutralized the poisonous gas.

A glint of green flashed across Qingyuan Daoist's face, and he let out a muffled groan. Then, the flowers and plants around his feet withered away, centered on him. Mingyu Daoist praised, "Brother Daoist, you've truly mastered Tai Chi to the core! No magic can touch you!"

Master Qingyuan was a little embarrassed by the praise, saying, "Senior brother, you flatter me. It's just that I've been practicing for a long time."

The two of them talked to themselves, leaving Rong Xuan standing to the side.

Rong Xuan was also shocked. Although he hadn't used his full strength, his opponent had taken the hits far too easily, and each of them had revealed a profound technique. This technique was definitely not from a small, rural sect; it must belong to a major sect.

"Who are you? Who is your master? What brings you here? Is it related to the Stone King Cave?"

Rong Xuan felt that asking the question was already a great honor for the two of them. Then he saw the two of them finally turn to him. The old man with golden light chuckled and said, "Master of Wuliang Cave, your time of death has come. You should be buried here with your brother."

Rong Xuan was startled and immediately realized what was happening. He leaped into the air.

But suddenly a red light appeared in the sky, and boundless wind and fire took shape and descended from the sky. In the center of the wind and fire was a figure wearing a red mask, with a long sword in its hand pointing directly at its face.

"Ding!"

With a crisp sound, the tip of Daoist Yansong's longsword collided with Rong Xuan's fist, producing a metallic clang.

The longsword bent, and Daoist Yansong felt a corrosive aura trying to invade his body along the sword. He turned his internal magic power, water generating wood and wood generating fire, and the water and fire merged, sweeping away the poisonous gas in one fell swoop.

Suddenly, a fiery dragon emerged from the endless wind and fire, pounced from behind Daoist Yansong, swallowed Rong Xuan whole, and crashed onto the land.

"boom!"

Rong Xuan was led downstairs, and just as he dispersed the wind and fire, he saw that four people had gathered around him. In addition to the two old men from before, there was another old man with white hair and beard and an old man with an ugly face.

"Dang-dang-dang--"

A series of heavy thuds echoed as eighteen sandalwood stakes were driven into the surrounding area. Gu Zhao hovered in mid-air, his hand seals changing as he uttered, "Rise!"

A thin curtain of light suddenly formed, covering an area of ​​several hundred feet around it.

“This one has been cultivating for about five or six hundred years. He possesses poison skills and his body is like a zombie. He is also a formidable opponent.” Gu Zhao looked at the old Taoists in the arena. “Everyone be careful. If you are really poisoned, use the Golden Light Mantra or the Heavenly Treasure Light Talisman in time.”

The old Taoist priests nodded in unison, then looked intently at Rong Xuan.

Daoist Yanling stroked his white beard and was about to go first, but Daoist Jingfeng stopped him with a hand, "Senior Brother's divine light is powerful. Wouldn't it be a pity if we killed him directly?"

Although Rong Xuan possessed profound Taoist skills, his unique poison abilities were countered by the true Qi of the Taoist sect. Daoist Yanling, with his profound magical power, might not necessarily be unable to defeat Rong Xuan, even with his restrictions on Rong Xuan's ability to move through the air.

Rong Xuan glanced at the four old Taoists surrounding her, then at Daoist Yansong hovering not far away, and finally looked at Gu Zhao, who was flying at the highest point and had set up an array to trap her. Her expression was extremely ugly.

The next moment, he soared into the sky, and a green bead appeared above his head, enveloping him. Then it transformed into a beam of green light and crashed straight into the Dragon-Locking Light Curtain that surrounded him.
