After listening to Zhang Xuanhe's words, Ni Yongruo suddenly felt deep regret in her heart.
If she hadn't used Li Chuan before to deal with Three-blade Hall, maybe he wouldn't have such hatred towards her.
Once you enter the Jianghu, you can no longer control your fate, and she had changed this young man's life!
Now, it seed she had the last laugh, but the price she paid was enormous!
But if she hadn't done that at the beginning, and instead helped Li Chuan when he was in trouble with Three-blade Hall, becoming friends with him, would the outco have been completely different?
It's a pity, there are no "ifs" in this world.
...
The wind on Nine-Headed Mountain grew stronger, shadows flickered on the mountain path, and many saplings were uprooted by the sinister wind, falling onto the road ahead.
"Mr. Li, if this continues, we won't be able to climb the mountain." Lan Zhengxing glanced at the wildly swaying trees around him and couldn't help but say.
Although they were already very close to the valley, in this situation, it was impossible to get any closer.
Because the sinister wind was biting, it was so strong that they couldn't even open their eyes!
"No problem, give a knife."
Li Chuan casually took a knife handed to him by Lan Zhengxing, then once again forced out fingertip blood, drawing a simple talisman on the blade!
He then circulated True Qi and threw the Flying Knife towards the valley entrance!
"Swish!"
The knife burst into a brilliant light in the air, and then landed firmly on the ground in the center of the valley!
Soon after, the sinister wind quickly cald down, and the strange snakes in the surroundings disappeared.
The dark clouds dispersed, and sunlight shone down again!
The entire group from the Lan Family was stunned by Li Chuan's prowess!
The Flying Knife exorcised evil, astonishing everyone!
Finally, they successfully entered the valley.
As they just stepped into the valley, Li Chuan took Lan Xiaobao to the outside of the cave.
The huge rock that was blocking the cave entrance was still there, with the talisman on it clearly visible, occasionally flowing with red light.
Li Chuan went to the side of the giant rock, sat down casually, then patted the rock: "I know you're inside. I won't say more unnecessary words. Do you rember Lan Xiaobao? You took his Human Soul and Spiritual Wisdom Soul, which helped you gain Spiritual Wisdom. Now it's ti to return them to their rightful owner, isn't it?"
"If you don't agree, I don't mind performing an exorcism on you today."
From various signs before, it showed that the Evil Spirit inside the Dragon Earth Cave had already gained Spiritual Wisdom.
However, after Li Chuan finished speaking, there was no movent inside the cave, but there seed to be a force repeatedly impacting the giant rock at the cave entrance.
"Refusing the toast only to drink the penalty wine!"
Li Chuan chuckled coldly, then wrote an even more intricate talisman on the huge rock!
The mont the talisman was completed, golden light radiated!
A piercing wail echoed from within the Dragon Earth Cave!
This sound was extrely eerie, and Lan Yubo and Lan Zhengxing, standing beside it, broke out in a cold sweat!
Was it unfolding like a scene from "A Chinese Ghost Story"?
They never imagined that such a sound would co from the Dragon Earth Cave—was it possible that what had been trapped there for hundreds of years was a ghost?
Not only Lan Yubo and Lan Zhengxing heard it, even the people at the foot of Nine-Headed Mountain seed to hear the shriek.
However, because it was blocked by the trees in the forest, the sound they heard wasn't as clear!
As ti passed, the sound from the Dragon Earth Cave gradually weakened.
Li Chuan said calmly, "Listen here, you'd better behave and do as I say, or I have ways to deal with you."
"I... I can listen to you! But can you really set free?" A vague voice ca from inside the Dragon Earth Cave, as if it was coming from a very distant place, giving a surreal feeling.
Li Chuan: "Of course, you and I have no grievances, I surely won't trouble you."
"Then I shall agree." The voice sounded again, "I will release the person's soul and spirit now, please move aside the rock at the cave entrance, sir."
Li Chuan perked up, ready to remove the giant rock blocking the cave entrance, but Lan Zhengxing was startled: "Mr. Li, that thing inside, might it be a trick?"
The thing inside had been there for at least hundreds of years, it was undoubtedly very cunning, and the possibility of deceit was high!
Although he also wanted his son to return to normal, the thing inside was too enigmatic. If it seized the chance to escape or harm Li Chuan, that would be bad!
"Don't worry, with here, it can't cause much trouble." Li Chuan smiled slightly, then reached out to move the stone.
At the instant the stone was moved, a chill surged out from the Dragon Earth Cave.
Fortunately, the sunlight outside was strong, so the chill dissipated quickly under the sunlight. Otherwise, while Lan Xiaobao might withstand it, Lan Yubo and Lan Zhengxing wouldn't be able to bear it.
But as Lan Yubo and Lan Zhengxing were staring intently at the dark Dragon Earth Cave, Lan Xiaobao, after being struck by the chill, was first stunned, then his dazed eyes slowly regained clarity!
"Dad! Grandpa! I can finally co out!"
With that, Lan Xiaobao rushed forward and embraced Lan Zhengxing and Lan Yubo.
Lan Yubo was in tears: "Xiaobao! You're finally back! It's good to have you back, it's good to have you back!"
Lan Xiaobao's Human Soul and Spiritual Wisdom Root were taken into the Dragon Earth Cave, and he had been accompanying the Evil Spirit inside all these years. He was aware of what was happening outside, and now being able to return to his body, he was filled with emotions: "It's all my fault, being mischievous as a child, sneaking into the Dragon Earth Cave alone!"
Lan Zhengxing was also moved to tears: "Bao, quickly kneel to Mr. Li! Without Mr. Li, you couldn't have co back!"
But just as the three of them turned around, they found Li Chuan was gone!
"Where's Mr. Li?"
"It seems... he went into the Dragon Earth Cave..."
"This... the Dragon Earth Cave is a forbidden area for our Lan Clan... we can't go in!" Lan Yubo sighed, "We can only wait here for Mr. Li to co out."
At this mont, Li Chuan, holding a large rooster, had already entered the Dragon Earth Cave.
However, this cave was only flat for about ten ters at the entrance, beyond which it was almost vertical.
In Li Chuan's perception, this downward cave was very deep. To explore how deep it was, Li Chuan brought a rooster along.
In Feng Shui, this technique is called "Golden Rooster Exorcism," as the rooster is a yang creature capable of dispelling Evil Qi and suppressing Yin Evil.
This thod is actually used in many scenarios, like exploring caves, or on construction sites for water wells, coal mines, etc.
Li Chuan didn't rashly go down. Instead, he tied a rope to the rooster's leg to test the depth of this cave, as he wanted to know so specific data about the Dragon Earth Cave. Jumping down directly might leave him in utter darkness.
According to Liu of the Lan Clan, this cave doesn't go straight down. It has many twisting branches after a certain depth.
As the Lan Clan's inherited geomancer, Liu's understanding of the Dragon Earth Cave was surely beyond that of ordinary mbers of the Lan Clan.
Soon, the rope beca taut, and Li Chuan looked at its length, which was as much as five hundred and eighty ters.
Though not extrely deep, it had already penetrated underground!
"Tsk tsk, it's this deep!"
Now that he knew the depth, the next step was simple: descend into the cave to see what kind of Evil Spirit was hidden inside this Dragon Earth Cave that had troubled the Lan Clan for hundreds of years!
