The Hanjing's words caused the dirty Daoist's brows to furrow slightly. His sly look, which was usually inauspicious, began to show some solemnity.
For a moment, he didn't answer Hanjin.
"If you don't have the ability or you want to be greedy and afraid of death, then go ahead and inform the Iron Pagoda Mountain, and send more suitable people to come over immediately." Hanjin replied again, effectively countering the dirty Daoist's words with a light stroke.
The atmosphere inside had become extremely quiet for a moment.
To us, however, this is not a bad thing.
In an unconscious way, they gained a bit more leverage. As the White Wolf Cave was also part of the Iron Pagoda Mountain, even if the dirty Daoist was unable to do anything, they would only send more high-level practitioners because of Hanjin's words!
"Having dispatched me from the doorway already took into account all possible scenarios," the dirty Daoist finally spoke up.
I couldn't help but cast a glance at him.
In this case, at least the dirty Daoist can handle the situations that Hanjin mentioned?
His strength is absolutely not something to be underestimated!
"Haha, several years ago, after leaving the Jiuding Mountain, Master Han returned to the Shigu School and entered a state of exorcism. Upon waking up, his first thing was to come here. The past events are not just a thorn in his heart but seem like they happened yesterday. He may also have some grievances with the Iron Pagoda Mountain. Please understand, your honor."
"I, Ma Sanzui, don't know your highness' surname and family name?" Ma Sanzui stepped forward, smiling and trying to make a round.
"I am Wu Jinluan, the field master of Shengxian Daoist. These are my subordinates." Wu Jinluan also bowed and introduced his identity.
The dirty Daoist responded simply with three characters: "Liu Taixuan."
As if he only cared about Hanjin and didn't care about the rest of us, or even felt that we couldn't catch his eye.
"My name is very good, Maowu is a businessman, perhaps there will be an opportunity, can make business with you." Ma Sanzui smiled and answered.
Liu Taixuan glanced at Ma Sanzui and didn't say a word, but clearly showed that he had no interest in this at all.
"We still have six people trapped outside the White Wolf Cave," Wu Jinluan finally touched on the main topic.
"Everyone will leave later. I'll go with Hanjin to solve the unfinished business in the White Wolf Cave, clear up the family affairs, and you gentlemen will accompany Master Daoist Ma of Yuanshen Daoist Temple to save your own people." Liu Taixuan spoke up, making arrangements for everyone.
"You, you killed a spirit medium who could take on the spirit of two immortals. Not so young, with some skill, following them will basically ensure your safety." Liu Taixuan finally looked at me.
Frankly speaking, apart from his acknowledged strength, at least after he spoke so many words to Hanjin, he still looked confident, which can be seen that he has some skills and cultivation.
But it was just that his eyes and hearts were far from what they needed to be.
He was too dismissive of us, and he truly believed Hanjin's words!
This matter is not just about achieving success, but also about learning from Hanjin's behavior and practices. I can't miss this opportunity.
"Mr. Wu, please go and save your people first, and then come to find us. Mr. Ma, how about we two follow Master Han uncle first?" I spoke up, revealing my intention.
Ma Sanzui nodded in agreement with my arrangement.
Hanjin had nothing else to say on this matter.
Liu Taixuan glanced at me again and said in a light tone: "Not too young, still like a newborn calf, do as you wish."
Wu Jinluan wanted to speak but then stopped, and in the end, he didn't voice any objections, which meant he agreed with my decision.
The junior Taoist master of Yuanxian Daoist Temple made some final preparations, and we set off in a big group, forming a swarm of people.
Soon, the sky became completely dark.
Lao Gong did not appear.
During our actions, we didn't encounter any unexpected events or any other cultivators from the celestial world trying to hinder us.
Since Lao Gong's expansion of the hellish realm earlier seemed to be a futile effort in observing the entire Jiuding Mountain, Hanjin could lead the way, and the dirty Daoist Liu Taixuan could do so as well.
The Jiuding Mountain isn't very large, and without taking detours on the mountain, we reached the entrance to the White Wolf Cave within two or three hours.
There is no trace of the five temples worshipping the divine light that Hanjin mentioned earlier.
Information gap, this is the most crucial point.
If there were any, then the people from the Jiuding Iron Pagoda Mountain would definitely know, and the problem is not just with the external five elements but also with the internal ones.
I can definitely say that Hanjin and the others who entered this place and sealed this cave, indeed had left a fish in the net, erasing all obvious signs of Daoist entities associated with the internal five elements.
Therefore, the traitor from the Iron Pagoda Mountain, along with the other two elements, have made up a complete internal five elements!
Hanjin didn't directly tell Liu Taixuan that, allowing him to figure it out himself. Therefore, I don't have to mention it, or maybe he will even criticize me and accuse him of betraying the Iron Pagoda Mountain if I reveal it.
Everyone's gaze was focused on the White Wolf Cave.
This place is rarely visited by people all year round. On the exposed rocks outside the cave mouth, there are many thick roots of large trees that have climbed up. They insert themselves wherever they can, absorbing the nutrients within the mountain. Above the cave, a giant ficus tree has grown, with its roots swaying in the wind.
The entrance itself is not very large, at most three to four meters wide, but it does have an indescribable aura.
Because of the huge and dense canopy of the ficus tree, moonlight cannot reach this place, making everything very dark.
Especially inside the cave, mist is swirling, making it even harder to see.
Hanjin's gaze was complicated, with a hint of dark red in it. The middle white corpse worm kept wandering, but he controlled his emotions well, preventing the corpse worm from appearing.
A thought and caution flashed across Liu Taixuan's sly and rat-eyed face.
Ma Sanzui couldn't help but show a hint of eagerness and a desire to try.
This operation, even though it was an affair of Shigu Mountain, was also Ma Sanzui's business. Here, there were the true human corpse bones that he had been wanting the most in the end!
As for Wu Jinluan and others, they were analyzing the geomancy of the scene. The level of the masters was insufficient, and they seemed quite apprehensive.
Furthermore, the Daoists from Yuanxian Daoist Temple, their level and skills were even lower. The more they looked at it, the more uneasy they seemed to be on their faces.
"Let's go and save the people first, and then come here to support!" Wu Jinluan said in a deep voice.
The masters nodded in agreement, and the people from Yuanxian Daoist Temple seemed to be greatly relieved, saying "good" repeatedly.
"Lao Gong, you follow them and avoid any unexpected people from appearing." I spoke up.
Lao Gong emerged from my shoulder and made two grunting sounds, without any other objections, he went to sit on Wu Jinluan's shoulder.
At this moment, Liu Taixuan gave Lao Gong a second look, and his eyes finally showed a bit of seriousness.
"As for external matters, it's probably not necessary to let this ghost follow us. He can come along without causing any trouble," Liu Taixuan said.
"How about it, you with the mouse head? Are you afraid? Do you lack the ability?"
"Zet, it's a pity you're neither a young miss nor an old miss. If you get into trouble and call out to Lao Gong, he won't pay any attention to you." Lao Gong has never catered to others, and his words were delivered with rhythm and contained a hint of sarcasm.
Liu Taixuan's face turned serious, waving his long sleeves and giving a cold snort.
He walked straight towards the White Wolf Cave!
However, his speed wasn't too fast. It wasn't until Hanjin led him by a head that he slightly accelerated, keeping up with Hanjin.
"Acting so high and mighty, you still have to wait for Shigu Mountain to come and handle everything together. I don't know what you're boasting about. Old Gong is still rolling his eyes, then he reminded Wu Jinluan: "Come on, little wu, ignore him. Wait a while and quickly find the master."
