Chapter 759: Chapter 755: Tracing Clues Chapter 759: Chapter 755: Tracing Clues “That Black Feather dared to attack you, our Captain. We can't just let it go!” another Demon Soldier growled through gritted teeth.

“Of course we can't let it go. Let's go. Immediately find Uncle! We'll tell him that Black Feather failed to capture Huo San. This time, we must ensure he suffers the Pillar of Fire Punishment, when he's dead, the Fire Separation Knife will be mine!” Jin Lin said ferociously, pushing away the Demon Soldier who was trying to steady him, and left with long strides.

…

Black Feather ignored the commotion behind him and went straight to his residence, a cave inside the Middle Layer of the Suspended Cave.

“…The bottom of the Suspended Cave has a large Fire Spirit Vein. The closer you get to the bottom, the more concentrated the spiritual power. The distribution of the cave dwellings is that the stronger the individual's strength, the closer their residence is to the lower section. The Sheng Ying King and some of the True Immortal Period Demons all live on the very bottom floor,” Black Feather detailed the situation of the Suspended Cave to Shen Luo.

To be clear, he even drew a simplified map of the Suspended Cave.

“I see, so where is that Refining Treasure Secret Room you mentioned before?” Shen Luo nodded slightly, then asked.

“It's deeper down in the dwelling of the Sheng Ying King. It is close to the magma area at the bottom, where the temperature is too high for habitation, but it is quite suitable for treasure refinement,” Black Feather pointed at a location on the map.

“Where are those Fire Charm Clan members imprisoned?” Shen Luo remembered something and asked again.

“Below the Refining Treasure Secret Room, there is a naturally formed Magma Melt Cave. The entire Fire Charm Clan is imprisoned there,” Black Feather pointed at an area below the Refining Treasure Secret Room.

“That's even closer to the bottom of the earth. Can the Fire Charm Clan survive in such a scorching environment?” Shen Luo frowned.

“The Fire Charm Clan are different. Unlike ordinary Demon Races, the hotter it is, the more they thrive,” Black Feather explained.

Shen Luo marveled and then further questioned Black Feather about the Magma Melt Cave. However, since the Magma Melt Cave was located at the underworld, Black Feather never been there and didn't know its exact conditions.

Seeing this, Shen Luo didn't ask him further. His Divine Sense entered into the Heavenly Book Space, and he began to question Huo San.

“Great Immortal, have you already entered the Suspended Cave? That Magma Melt Cave is hundreds of feet large and sits adjacent to the Underground Fire Spirit Vein Lake. It is connected to the Refining Treasure Secret Room by a Nine Flames Returning to the Origin Array. On normal days, we, the Fire Charm Clan, refined Fire Essence in the Magma Melt Cave and transmitted it to the Refining Treasure Secret Room using the Array,” Huo San meticulously described the conditions inside the Magma Melt Cave.

Shen Luo nodded upon hearing this and then asked, “Since the Fire Charm Clan was imprisoned inside the Magma Melt Cave, which is located at the bottom of the earth, how did you escape?”

“Great Immortal, even if you didn't ask this question, I intended to tell you. In fact, before the arrival of the Sheng Ying King at the Fire-spreading Mountain, our Fire Charm Clan had already discovered the Magma Melt Cave. At the very bottom of the Melt Cave, there is a narrow passage that connects to the outside world. As we needed to traverse several magma areas, the Sheng Ying King and others were unaware of it. I used that narrow passageway to escape,” Huo San explained.

Shen Luo's eyes slightly brightened. If Huo San could escape through that passage, he should be able to infiltrate through there. Beside the Magma Melt Cave was the Refining Treasure Secret Room, if he could sneak in without anyone noticing, many things would become a lot easier.

As for crossing several lava areas, although it was not easy, it was not impossible either.

Shen Luo asked Huo San to draw the entrance of that passage in detail, as well as the conditions in between. He then withdrew his Divine Sense from the Heavenly Book Space and continued the negotiation with Black Feather. He began to inquire in detail about the True Immortals under Sheng Ying King, trying to find their weak points.

At that moment, he suddenly turned his head to look outside.

“Jin Li is coming. Proceed as per the plan,” he told Black Feather before turning a yellow silk handkerchief over his body, and soundlessly merged into the ground of the Cave Mansion.

Just as Shen Luo disappeared, the great door of Black Feather's Cave Mansion exploded with a bang and fell into the cave, creating a dust cloud.

Several figures with formidable air strode in. Leading them was a man dressed in a golden robe who had already fully dismissed his demon form, appearing no different from ordinary humans, with the only exception being his somewhat curved nose. His aura was rugged and unrivaled, his eyes sharp as lightning.

Right behind the man in the golden robe was Jin Lin, who we just saw earlier. Beside Jin Lin were a few demon soldiers who came along earlier. One of the demon soldiers was carrying a creature–a small bird demon that was looking for Huo San with Black Feather earlier.

The small bird demon was covered in blood and had already fainted.

“Black Feather, how dare you! You not only lost Huo San, you even attacked your comrade for no reason! This is a complete disregard for laws and regulations. Are you trying to rebel? Kneel down!” The man in the golden robe, packed with an aggressive expression, released a tremendous pressure from his Great Mahayana Stage cultivation, applying it toward Black Feather.

Black Feather reeled in shock; he retreated several steps backwards, but he soon regained stability.

Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed across the man in the golden robe's face.

He had done more than just used his imposing aura to oppress Black Feather. He had utilized Soul-shaking Divine Technique within his shouted words. Even a monk of the same stage would become unstable after taking a hit, yet Black Feather seemed to remain unaffected.

“Could it be that Black Feather has been hiding his real strength? Or perhaps he possesses a certain treasure that helps stabilize his soul?” the man in the golden robe wondered.

In fact, the reason Black Feather could easily withstand the man in the golden robe's soul-shaking technique was because most of his soul had already been imprinted on the Heavenly Book, so of course, the man's attack had no effect on him.

“Commander Jin Li, please stay calm. All I have done earlier was under Lord Yan Luo's secret orders. If I've offended you in any way, I hope you'll overlook it.” said Black Feather, cupping his hands politely.

“Lord Yan Luo!” Jin Li's expression became serious.

Yan Luo was the head of the Five Great Commanders. His cultivation level had already reached the peak of the Great Mahayana stage. He was one step away from Crossing Tribulations and Becoming Immortal, far ahead of Jin Li.

“What secret orders did Lord Yan Luo give you?” Jin Li's stern expression softened a little, he asked.

“Uncle, this Black Feather made me look so bad in public today, we can't just let it go!” Seeing things taking an unexpected turn, Jin Lin hastily interjected.

“Shut up!” Jin Li cast a sidelong glance and coldly commanded.

Jin Lin fell silent, clearly displeased.

“The secret order that Lord Yan Luo gave was for me. Commander Jin Li, you are eager to know as well, are you not afraid Lord Yan Luo will hold it against you?” Black Feather responded.

Jin Li burst out laughing, and his right hand shot out like lightning, aiming for Black Feather's neck.

Feeling great fear, Black Feather's wings flickered black light from his back. He moved sideways to dodge, but Jin Li's cultivation level surpassed him by far. A golden light flashed over his palm, becoming foggy all of a sudden. He caught Black Feather's neck with one grasp.

“I have a technique called Yin Fire Soul Refining, capable of making someone wish they were dead. Would you prefer to speak obediently, or try my Yin Fire Soul Refining before we proceed?” Lifting Black Feather, Jin Li threatened grimly.

Jin Lin was overjoyed when he saw that Black Feather had been captured.

“Fine, I can tell you. But this matter must not be known to a third person.” Choked at the neck, Black Feather struggled to speak, his eyes directed towards the secret chamber deep within the mansion.
