Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning-Chapter 195 - Causing a Big Stir Again
Chapter 195: Causing a Big Stir Again
The group waited outside the ruins for most of the day.
In the end, Jiang Hao saw Jin Long leading people inside while another Foundation Establishment completion Senior Brother temporarily took charge outside.
However, among the hundreds of people, there were quite a few at the completion level of the Foundation Establishment, and it was difficult for the other party to command respect.
Jiang Hao didn’t care much about it.
They were still far from the hiding place of the short demon, so there shouldn’t be any Golden Core level demons around.
Otherwise, he would be in trouble.
If he couldn’t handle the situation with force, escaping would also make him an easy target.
Over these days, he had realized one thing: the source of the orders was what he had shattered.
It seemed that even if Senior Sister Ye Ji and the others found the source, entering it would be a death sentence.
Not to mention the Nascent Soul level guards, just the short demon alone were of Nascent Soul cultivation.
Therefore, to stop them, Nascent Soul cultivators would need to go.
“Senior Brother, have you heard of this place?” Xin Yuyue asked Zheng Shijiu.
“I’ve never heard of it,” Zheng Shijiu shook his head.
“I’ve read many records about the Demon Cavern, and none mentioned any strange structures. But many records do say that the Demon Cavern holds many opportunities, and anything could be encountered.”
It was well known that the Demon Cavern offered opportunities, and many present had gained something from it, more or less.
Spiritual herbs and treasures could almost always be found.
Jiang Hao had also come across some spiritual herbs in these days.
Although they weren’t very good, all of them could still sell for over a thousand spirit stones once they matured.
However, maturation required a lot of time, and transplantation often led to death.
In the end, he gave up.
His only regret was that in the two months of clearing out demons, he had only gathered some white bubbles, occasionally picking up one or two blue bubbles along the way.
Everything seemed to have returned to the time when he had just started cultivating, accumulating cultivation and vital energy all down to luck.
“I wonder what’s inside,” Le You said, looking at the ruins with great curiosity.
“It’s probably not very safe,” Jiang Hao commented indifferently.
However, before they could discuss for long, Jiang Hao suddenly looked to the side.
“Someone is coming,” he warned.
Many already knew about his keen senses, so there was no need to hide it.
As long as he didn’t show off too much, it was fine.
Sure enough, a group of people was heading their way.
The one leading them was Ning Xuan, Senior Sister from their Duanqing Cliff, at the early stage of Nascent Soul.
Their arrival indicated that the two parties were in communication.
The others also realized this and became somewhat nervous.
Ning Xuan announced her name and released her pressure before saying, “Who is in charge? Come out and explain the situation.”
At this point, the previous Foundation Establishment completion stepped forward while trembling.
“Things are getting lively now, but also safer,” Zheng Shijiu commented with a bit of schadenfreude.
The arrival of the strong also meant increased safety for them.
“Did they go in?” Ning Xuan frowned and then ordered several Golden Core cultivators to surround the ruins.
Just when others thought they were going to enter, they heard an unbelievable command.
“If anyone comes out with something red, don’t hesitate and kill them on the spot. Make sure to kill them before they fully emerge. If any red light appears, do not hold back.”
Zheng Shijiu and the others were shocked, having no idea why the other party would issue such an order.
Jiang Hao’s brow furrowed slightly; Senior Sister Ning Xuan actually knew what was inside.
But he was puzzled.
If the existence of the ruins was known, why wasn’t this area under control?
Soon he noticed that Senior Sister Ning Xuan was sending a message back, seemingly surprised by the appearance of the ruins.
‘Could it be that the ruins have just surfaced?’
Jiang Hao thought it highly likely.
Otherwise, why would it be so easy to enter?
As for why they surfaced, it was naturally the work of those demons. And it was possible that the ruins were also something that the sect’s seniors had suppressed along with the core.
If this speculation held true, then there might be more ruins in the Demon Cavern.
At this moment, Golden Core Senior Brothers and Sisters began to disperse the crowd.
Many noticed that Senior Sister Ning Xuan was treating the entrance to the ruins as if facing a formidable enemy.
“What exactly is inside? What makes Senior Sister Ning Xuan so nervous? I remember she is a Nascent Soul stage powerhouse,” Zheng Shijiu was puzzled.
Jiang Hao shook his head; he knew but couldn’t speak out.
After all, the thing that Senior Sister Ning Xuan was guarding against was on him.
If discovered, he didn’t know what he would face.
At night, under the starlight, everyone was watching the entrance to the ruins.
Thump. Thump.
Footsteps emerged from the entrance. The number of people was not small.
Everyone tensed up at once, and Ning Xuan, with a movement of her beautiful eyes, said coldly,
“Everyone inside, stop where you are. The first one, walk out towards us and stand at the entrance without moving, or you will be killed on the spot.”
“Have you all gone mad? It’s me, Jin Long,” Jin Long shouted loudly, seemingly angry and quickening his pace instead of slowing down.
“I said stop,” Fairy Ning Xuan’s voice was ice cold, like a blizzard.
Boom!
In an instant, the power of an early-stage Nascent Soul swept across in all directions.
Bang!
The formidable force severely injured everyone inside.
Cries of pain and terror echoed out.
“Crawl out one by one, submit to interrogation and inspection. Anyone who doesn’t cooperate will be treated as a traitor and killed on the spot,” Ning Xuan’s voice was deep and serious.
In a moment, Jin Long, who was injured inside, was scared witless and quickly agreed to comply.
He was the first to crawl to the entrance, only to be stunned as he found himself surrounded by dozens of Golden Core cultivators.
This left him somewhat bewildered.
“What did you find inside? What did you see?” Fairy Ning Xuan asked directly.
“We only saw a floating stone platform and pathways, along with a few corpses. We didn’t see anything else, nor did we obtain anything,” Jin Long replied.
“Did you see any red light?” Fairy Ning Xuan inquired.
“No,” Jin Long quickly shook his head.
Indeed, he had not seen any red light.
“Did you explore every place?” Fairy Ning Xuan continued.
“We should have, but we don’t know if there are any hidden areas,” Jin Long answered truthfully.
He had indeed traversed all known areas, but he had not found Ye Ji nor any treasures.
“Empty your storage bag, leave nothing behind,” Fairy Ning Xuan commanded.
Although Jin Long was reluctant, he had to obey; he realized that if he dared to refuse, he would die right there.
He regretted entering this place—what was the point?
Soon, everyone was inspected, and no red light or related items were found.
Ning Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, killing all these people inside would have been the most suitable action.
But even if they were killed, it was necessary to ensure that nothing had been taken out, so killing them was not very meaningful unless something was indeed found.
Then, everything would be irreparable, and the only option would be to kill and then wait for the sect to handle it.
In truth, she didn’t know what was inside.
She was just following orders, orders that no one could defy.
However, it was good that nothing was found; if there had been, whether she could survive was another matter.
According to the map, this place should have been a lawn, not a building.
The order she received was to check the situation here; it was best not to see any buildings, but if one was found, she had to guard it and wait for further instructions, forbidding anyone from entering.
If someone did enter, she had to thoroughly investigate.
The warning in the order was clear: if the red light appeared outside the building, no one would survive.
So when she arrived and saw a group of people gathered here, she knew something was wrong.
Fortunately, there was no immediate danger.
“Take them into custody and wait for the Hall of Enforcement to interrogate them,” Fairy Ning Xuan instructed.
She couldn’t make decisions about this matter, so she could only temporarily control the situation.
Watching all this, Jiang Hao sighed inwardly.

The impact was indeed significant.
Fortunately, no one was planning to go in and investigate further.
This way, they were uncertain whether anything had been taken away.
He wondered if the people from the Hall of Enforcement would go mad and check everyone’s storage treasures.
Logically, they shouldn’t; even when he was captured, Liu Xingchen didn’t have the authority to inspect them—only the person in charge could.
But if the higher-ups in the sect knew about the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead, who knew if they would really check.
After all, if the Heavenly Extreme Calamity Bead appeared within the sect, the entire Tianyin Sect would be doomed.
Jiang Hao remained calm, waiting for the Hall of Enforcement to arrive.
