Chapter 613: Chapter 306 I Also Want to Find My Husband

The two women descended the damp staircase cautiously, not daring to make a sound.

There was an intermittent and sometimes pungent odor of blood.

Although there was not a shred of light around for illumination, Qu Hongling and Yelü Miaomiao, being skilled, were not affected in their vision. It was only that occasionally some fog drifted in the air, preventing a better observation of the situation beneath the passageway.

Once they reached the ground, some dark red shadows appeared all around them.

These shadows emanated from moss on the walls.

The moss was dark red, seemingly smeared with a luminous powder, casting the entire cave in a sinister red glow.

Yelü Miaomiao looked around and, upon reaching an open space inside the cave, was startled to see a pile of large skeletons there.

One of the bones was even thicker than an ordinary well mouth.

"What animal’s bones are these?" Yelü Miaomiao asked curiously.

Qu Hongling approached for a closer look and, after careful discernment, said gravely, "These are the bones of an Elephant Demon. The demon energy lingering on the bones is still potent, indicating that this Elephant Demon was no ordinary being..."

While speaking, Qu Hongling suddenly noticed a fractured mark on one of the bones.

She lightly touched it with her finger and felt the residual breath seeping through the crack. Her pretty face instantly changed:

"Something’s not right! This demon has been imprisoned by Taoist techniques before, its breath is very similar to that on the altar."

Yelü Miaomiao first looked puzzled, but then she realized the seriousness of the situation, "Do you mean this ivory belonged to the demon that was imprisoned in the underground palace by the previous dynasty?"

Qu Hongling nodded her head, "Exactly."

Yelü Miaomiao’s expression turned extremely ugly.

If this demon was the one imprisoned in the underground palace, then who had killed it?

And from where did the demon that killed the cultivators outside the great hall come from?

Just then, a rustling sound suddenly came from behind. The two women quickly turned around but saw nothing—only dead silence. However, a red light suddenly flared up not far ahead.

"Be careful."

Qu Hongling’s wrist turned deftly, with the Phoenix Slaying Sword circling around her.

Yelü Miaomiao formed a hand seal, with her dharma semblance flickering in and out of visibility behind her.

Neither woman dared to let their guard down, keeping vigilant while slowly moving toward the firelight.

Upon reaching the source of the firelight, both were shocked by the scene before them.

They saw the woman in black who had entered the nest cave, now tightly cocooned in a layer of densely packed, exceptionally viscous thread-like material.

Her skin was beset with black lines resembling leaf veins, these dark tendrils intertwined, covering her limbs and even her face, as if she were displaying symptoms of a severe poisoning.

At this moment, the woman’s mind was on the brink of chaos, breathing rapidly, with each breath accompanied by a slight shiver of her body.

Next to the woman in black were two dark red eggs.

One egg was cracked and empty inside.

The other egg, as big as a volleyball, was placed in the nest pile, surrounded by some rotten flesh. The flesh, laid upon the eggshell, seemed to be absorbed in a corrosive manner.

Yelü Miaomiao carefully peeled away the thread-like material from the woman’s body, freeing her, and gently slapped her cheeks, calling softly, "Senior... Senior?"

The dark-clad woman slowly opened her eyes, her pupils scattered.

As her consciousness gradually cleared, the bewildered expression on her face turned into one of terror. She grabbed Yelü Miaomiao’s wrist tightly, and said in panic, "Take me away! Quick, take me with you!"

Yelü Miaomiao asked, "Senior, where is the demon?"

The dark-clad woman said urgently, "It’s not here now, but it will be back soon. We need to leave quickly!"

Seeing Yelü Miaomiao hesitating, the woman suddenly thought of something, turned and scraped the ground a few times, and handed a painting to Yelü Miaomiao: "Is this the Divine Ghost Eight Array Diagram you were looking for? I hid it for you, now quickly, take me with you!"

The Divine Ghost Eight Array Diagram?

Yelü Miaomiao was startled, and quickly unfolded the diagram.

In an instant, a surge of spiritual power hit her face; within the painting, clouds seemed to be swirling, with mountains and rivers faintly visible, and the edges of the image contained intertwined lightning...

It was indeed the Divine Ghost Eight Array Diagram!

Yelü Miaomiao was overjoyed.

She had given up hope, but unexpectedly, she found it once again.

At the woman’s urging, Yelü Miaomiao put away the Divine Ghost Eight Array Diagram, helped the dark-clad woman to her feet, and said to Qu Hongling, "Let’s go, we’re leaving this place."

However, Qu Hongling did not move.

Yelü Miaomiao wanted to urge her on but noticed that the other’s gaze was fixed behind her.

Yelü Miaomiao felt a chill running down her spine.

She slowly turned around and saw the pale, beautiful face of a woman staring eerily at her.

At first glance, the face seemed to float in mid-air. But on closer inspection, one could see that its body was snake-like because it was pitch black, making it not very noticeable in the dim cave.

On both sides of the snake body were eight human arms.

At the tail of the snake, there were some small tentacles.

What kind of ghastly demon was this?

Yelü Miaomiao was dumbstruck, standing rooted to the spot.

She had seen many demons, but she had never seen such a bizarre one.

Qu Hongling’s beautiful brows lightly furrowed, and she suddenly thought of the Su Family Master, Su Shanke, who, after consuming demon energy, also transformed into something similar to this creature.

Only, this demon had a familiar feeling about it, even a sense of kinship.

But she couldn’t quite place where this feeling came from.

"Quick...let’s go..."

The voice of the dark-clad woman trembled, almost beyond recognition.

Regaining her senses, Yelü Miaomiao quickly formed hand seals, releasing the power of her Dharma body.

Qu Hongling also gripped the Phoenix Slaying Sword tightly.

But then, an unexpected scene unfolded.

At first, the demon’s eyes were cold, but as it slowly approached, it suddenly sniffed and then turned its gaze towards Qu Hongling, making a hoarse and indistinct voice from its throat: "Master~~"
