283 Sacrifice the Demonic Beast to the Lord
The winding path stretched far into the distance, and no one knew where it would lead to. After a moment of hesitation, the three of them chose to continue.

As they ventured deeper into the cave, the strange murals also disappeared. They seemed to have reached a deeper area.

At this moment, a series of footsteps could be heard. Something seemed to be approaching them from the front.

The three of them exchanged a look of tacit understanding. Something was coming!

However, there was no place to hide around them. There was only one path on this winding and narrow road. There were no other branching paths.

Since they didn’t know what kind of creature was coming, Ye Xuan didn’t intend to fight it head-on. He made a prompt decision and said, “Let’s quickly retreat.”

The three of them retreated, but the creature seemed to know what they were thinking. It actually quickened its pace, and the rustling sounds of its footsteps became even more obvious.

In just a moment, a cold sensation swept over them, as if it was going to freeze all their bones and blood into ice. Shen Changling, who had the lowest cultivation, could not help but shiver.

Ye Xuan’s expression darkened and he fell into a state of vigilance. He lowered his voice and said, “We’re not getting away. We’ll act according to the situation.”

Qian Yuan’s pupils narrowed into slits. He was ready to attack at any given moment and tear the unknown enemy to pieces.

They didn’t know if it was an illusion, but the air around was getting colder and colder, so much so that thin ice crystals were forming in the darkness.

Surprisingly, the creatures did not attack immediately. The three of them could feel inexplicable gazes sweeping across them.

Just as Ye Xuan was hesitating as to whether to strike first, a hoarse and low voice suddenly rang out. The creature seemed to have not spoken for a long time. Its voice was a little rusty and unpleasant to the ears.

It inquired, “Is this the demonic beast that is to be sacrificed to the Lord?”

This sentence stunned the three of them. They wondered, “There were actually still living humans in this cave!”

As the voice inquired, a few blurry silhouettes appeared. In the dim environment, their faces could not be seen clearly, but they were barely human figures. Their sinister gazes swept across the faces of Ye Xuan and the others. Ye Xuan’s silence made them a little impatient.

“Hm? Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“Yes!”

Ye Xuan was the first to react. In a flattering manner and tone, he said, “We finally caught this great demonic beast and wanted to offer it to the Lord.”

Qian Yuan was befuddled. Was he the captured great demonic beast?

Those people didn’t seem to doubt the authenticity of Ye Xuan’s words. They nodded in satisfaction, and even their tone became fanatical. Their leader said, “Then come with me. The Lord is waiting.”

A few human-shaped shadows walked in front. As time passed, their figures became more and more solid.

Shen Changling and Qian Yuan were confused. They asked Ye Xuan, “Elder Ye, what are you…”

“Rather than wandering aimlessly, why don’t we follow these things? Who knows? We might be able to make some major discoveries.”

Although these things had human-like limbs, they were more like some form of undead spirits. Ye Xuan noticed that they all floated in the air, with black smoke under their feet.

“By the way, where are we going?”

Ye Xuan tried to get more useful information from these humanoid creatures.

“The Lord’s sacrifice this time will definitely be a success…”

The cold voice echoed. Because the space was too vast, it echoed countless times, as if countless people in the dark were speaking in unison. For Ye Xuan and the others, it could be said to be a sinister sound piercing their ears.

Ye Xuan and Shen Changling had to set up a barrier to resist these words. They were not used to it. No matter what they asked the spirits, the latter only replied with the same sentence, so they had to give up.

It was apparent that although these things could speak, their intelligence wasn’t high. Otherwise, they would have seen through the disguises of Ye Xuan and the others. The latter could lower their guard for the time being.

The humanoid creatures did not continue forward. Instead, they led them back to the murals. The leader seemed to fumble around for something.

Ye Xuan said, “I knew there was something strange about this mural. Let’s be careful.”

The humanoid creature seemed to press something, and the air was filled with a constant clicking sound, like gears turning. It was a sound that gave people goosebumps.

There was another path behind the mural!

A few humanoid creatures took the lead and walked in.

Qian Yuan suddenly grabbed Ye Xuan and frowned as he said, “The aura coming from inside is making me even more uncomfortable. My cultivation has been suppressed by half.”

In other words, Qian Yuan could only use half of his strength. This was a very bad sign for Ye Xuan and the others, but it also meant that they were close to the truth.

In the face of unknown danger, the odds were already against them. With Qian Yuan, who had the highest combat power in their team, in such a state, it was clear that this hidden mystery was not something Ye Xuan could pry into.

“Why aren’t you guys moving?”

A low and gloomy voice sounded. At the same time, Ye Xuan felt the temperature around him drop even lower, and even his breath was about to freeze.

The humanoid creatures also began to exude an ominous aura, as if they were beginning to suspect something. If Ye Xuan and the others made any strange movements, they would be bound to meet their end.

Although these creatures did not have high intelligence, they seemed very powerful. If they were to fight, they would most likely cause a lot of commotion.

On top of that, Ye Xuan was most worried about the background and identity of the so-called “Lord” they spoke of. Would he be drawn here if they started a fight?

He made up his mind and said, “Since we’re already here, let’s go and take a look.”
