Ouyang Shaohua rushed forward and saw four black, shiny eyes clearly glimmering in the darkness. However, these four bright eyes were only about a meter off the ground, clearly belonging to some kind of animal.
With a startled scream from Ouyang Feixue, the four eyes immediately lunged toward her. The scene was quite bizarre.
From the moment Ouyang Shaohua entered the cave, she had activated the Yuli Huanfu Technique. Now, she hurried forward, using her hands to create her domain, intending to trap the two animals with Spatial Power.
However, to Ouyang Shaohua's astonishment, the four ghostly eyes were not hindered by her efforts and continued to charge at Ouyang Feixue. At that moment, Ouyang Feixue was in a state of panic, flailing her arms wildly. Although she couldn't harm the two animals, it was enough for self-defense.
It turned out that those two animals only possessed the attack power of spirit beasts. Once they faced retaliation, they were unable to cope. Realizing they could not harm these two people, they decided to flee instead. Ouyang Shaohua and Ouyang Feixue followed closely behind the two animals as they moved forward.
Suddenly, there was a loud crunch under Ouyang Feixue's feet as if she had stepped on something. Startled, she quickly pulled out her fire fan and looked ahead, only to find a scene of white bones before them. Not far ahead lay layers upon layers of bones blocking their path—there were at least a hundred corpses piled up at the entrance.
Ouyang Feixue couldn't hold back a scream and immediately crouched down to start vomiting.
Although Ouyang Shaohua felt extremely uncomfortable as well, she managed to control her emotions; after all, she had seen many dead bodies in battles for survival before.
Just as she was about to help Ouyang Feixue, she suddenly noticed a group of ferocious beasts charging toward Ouyang Feixue. The bright fire she had just used had attracted their attention.
Crack! Crack!
The ferocious beasts stomped over the bones and headed straight for them. With their appearance came a strong stench of decay that hit them head-on.
Before the ferocious beasts could reach her, Ouyang Feixue collapsed.
With a loud thud, Ouyang Shaohua realized something was wrong; something must have happened to Ouyang Feixue. Just as she was about to leap over, someone suddenly lunged at her, grabbing her clothes tightly while shouting repeatedly, "There are ghosts! There are ghosts!"
Ouyang Shaohua recognized the smell and knew this person was the one who had stolen her Spirit Void Liquid. But saving Ouyang Feixue was more urgent. So, she kicked this person away and picked up Ouyang Feixue to run back the way they came. Ouyang Feixue sensed her own peril and softly murmured, "Auntie, is there really a ghost? How did I get so confused?"
Ouyang Shaohua could only hold her and say, "Ouyang Feixue, you have been poisoned. Once we get further away, just take some medicine and you'll be fine."
"Then why are you okay?" At this point, Ouyang Feixue's curiosity remained strong. Ouyang Shaohua could only reply, "My body is strong; no poison can harm me."
However, a voice suddenly rang out behind Ouyang Shaohua. Realizing the danger, she immediately set Ouyang Feixue down and was about to turn around when a dagger was thrust into her back!
Sito Leidong had long planned this ambush. Five hundred meters into the cave, he had set up a simple formation that gathered over a hundred corpses while simultaneously using hallucinogenic drugs. The formation could trap people, and the drugs would incapacitate them, even affecting the Disciple.
But Ouyang Feixue's ignition triggered the early movement of fierce beasts, causing corrosive gas to spread. Unable to endure it any longer, Sito Leidong charged at Ouyang Shaohua, intending to take them both down.
Yet Ouyang Shaohua safely carried Ouyang Feixue away and even claimed to be immune to all poisons, which infuriated Sito Leidong. Overwhelmed with disappointment, he could no longer restrain himself and attacked Ouyang Shaohua. However, in his state of panic, he had already lost control of his Origin Energy and did not expect Ouyang Shaohua's body to be so resilient; the dagger lodged in her was impossible to remove, and not even a drop of blood flowed out.
At this moment, Ouyang Shaohua felt a strange force drawing her deeper into the Flying Dragon Cave. Her body involuntarily began to slide toward its depths. When she looked back, Sito Leidong stood there in shock, unable to comprehend why she was sliding naturally into the cave.
Ouyang Shaohua was both frightened by what was happening to her and worried that Sito Leidong would kill Ouyang Feixue. Therefore, she exerted all her strength to let out a thunderous roar: "No!---------."
This roar echoed powerfully throughout the Flying Dragon Cave, resonating for hundreds of miles inside. It startled a creature that had lived in the cave for ages.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Shaohua continued sliding deeper into the Flying Dragon Cave. Chaos erupted within as various hidden creatures were disturbed, and countless shining eyes surged toward the cave entrance.
Seeing this, Sito Leidong was terrified and ran desperately toward the cave exit, shouting repeatedly, "There's a ghost! There's a ghost!"
It wasn't until three days later that Ouyang Feixue emerged from the Flying Dragon Cave covered in wounds.
At this time, the Tournament in the Mixed Residential Area had already concluded.
Guan Yue and Fang West had been cultivating at Sky Peak Tower for some time, but his understanding of the Desolate Yin-Yang Scripture had not made significant progress.
So he let Fang West cultivate within, while he traveled around seeking opportunities.
At this moment, it was inconvenient for him to leave the Ocean Harmony Empire immediately, as the matters concerning Fang West's family had not yet reached a conclusion. Once there was a resolution regarding the Fang Family, he would set off for the Waydao Empire without delay.
Now, Guan Yue was being referred to as Guan Yunfei. Therefore, he had been moving around under the guise of Guan Yunfei. He no longer dared to use his true identity as Guan Yue.
Guan Yue frequently visited taverns and restaurants to gather information. He paid special attention to news about the Fang Family, hoping to learn more about their recent situation.
Indeed, in one tavern, Guan Yue overheard the following conversation:
"Brother, have you heard? The newly appointed patriarch of the Fang Family has been deposed again, and that Tall Elder has taken over as patriarch. The Fang Family is truly in dire straits."
"Isn't the new patriarch a Xuantian Realm Cultivator? Where is he? The Fang Family wouldn't have killed him, would they?"
"As for Fang Hanshan's whereabouts, it's now a mystery. The Fang Family has yet to make an announcement, and Fang Hanshan hasn't shown up either; even his children have not been seen."
"Oh, such things can happen! But as a Xuantian Realm Cultivator, he shouldn't be easily dealt with by the Fang Family, right?"
"Hey, you don't know how that Tall Elder and Fat Elder of the Fang Family are like two peas in a pod. They've always held a grudge against Fang Hanshan; now that they have an excuse, they will surely strike hard."
"Doesn't Fang Hanshan have a daughter who's quite formidable? She broke through to the Disciple stage before turning sixteen. The Fang Family wouldn't go so far as to eliminate her too, would they?"
"I don't know; she hasn't shown her face lately. Even her Great Dao Realm brother hasn't appeared. It seems their family is in grave danger."
Guan Yue realized that Fang Hanshan was indeed in peril and might have been suppressed by the Fat Elder and Tall Elder working together. It seemed necessary for him to visit again.
Thus, Guan Yue entered Sky Peak Tower to discuss matters with Fang West. As soon as Fang West saw him, he joyfully said, "Guan Yunfei, I broke through to the middle stage of the Breaking Heaven Realm yesterday. I want to go home for a visit and see my father and brother."
Guan Yue shared the information she had gathered with Fang West, who said, "I will take you to a place where you can learn the real situation about my father."
Guan Yue followed Fang West to a very inconspicuous restaurant. Fang West told her, "This is an intelligence station run by my brother and me, but it hasn't really taken off yet. Right now, we are only gathering information within the Ocean Harmony Empire."
Guan Yue was delighted to learn that Direction East and Fang West shared this interest; if it became successful, it would indeed be helpful for her. She made a note of this.
Fang West and Guan Yue walked directly into the kitchen and then turned into a small room. Inside sat four people. Upon seeing Fang West enter, the four quickly stood up and greeted her respectfully.
Fang West did not engage in pleasantries and directly asked about the current situation of the Fang Family.
A middle-aged man immediately replied, "Report, Miss. The situation of the Fang Family has suddenly changed. Clan Leader Fang Hanshan has been dismissed and is reportedly under arrest, along with his son. The Fang Family has now been completely occupied by Tai Shun Pavilion. All three Elders of the Fang Family have become members of Tai Shun Pavilion."
Fang West's expression remained unchanged. After asking them a few more questions, she exited with Guan Yue. Fang West let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Now I can rest easy. It seems my father and the others will be fine. The Three Elders are loyal to our Fang Family, and my father is also devoted to the Fang Family; they might just be putting on a show for Tai Shun Pavilion. They would never harm my father or destroy the Fang Family. However, they must have made some concessions; allowing the Three Elders to join Tai Shun Pavilion was likely a requirement from them. It seems my father will also join Tai Shun Pavilion in the future; otherwise, they wouldn't let him go."
Guan Yue thought for a moment and said, "That's good; for the Fang Family, it means they have a backing."
"But Tai Shun Pavilion is hunting you down! Tai Shun Pavilion is our enemy. How can we align ourselves with them?" Fang West looked at Guan Yue in confusion.
Guan Yue smiled and said, "Think about it: Tai Shun Pavilion is after me, and you were taken away by me. So it's only natural for your Fang Family to align with Tai Shun Pavilion. Others won't say anything about your Fang Family. With Tai Shun Pavilion as your support, your Fang Family will at least be safe for now."
Fang West considered this and nodded slightly. She hesitated as she looked at Guan Yue, as if she had something to say. Noticing this, Guan Yue asked, "West, do you have something you want to tell me?"
"Guan Yunfei, I want to go home and take a look—just one glance—and then I'll come with you. I know you can't stay in Ocean Harmony Empire forever; I want to go with you too, but I can't leave my father and brother behind. I must go back and see," Fang West finally mustered the courage to express her thoughts.
