Chapter 610: Great Elder of the Evil Cult
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Happy had indeed made a lot of arrangements and preparations for Sky Demon Secret Cave!
All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s skills with mechanisms and traps, Wind Chimes’ divination skills and assistance with her zither notes, Silver Wolf’s individual combat abilities, Momo’s long-distance attacks, and Little North’s poison skills were all within his considerations!
It could be said that all the people who came with him had extremely great skills in different domains, and they could not be replaced by anyone else .
Those people, of course, did not expect that they would be able to perform in various ways in Sky Demon Secret Cave .
When Wind Chimes heard Happy’s orders, she pursed her lips, lowered her sword casket, brought out her eight trigrams chart and oracle bones, and threw them on the chart three times before she slowly stood up and pointed northeast .
“Song Yuanqiao is not far from us . He should be 656 feet away!”
“Let’s not waste time! We’ll head there now!”
Once he obtained the precise location, Happy took the position of vanguard without hesitation .
However, what caused Happy to be slightly gloomy was that they had only traveled a short distance before the area in front of them became wider and clearer . They arrived at a large cave, and there were five forks ahead of them . All of them had all sorts of bends and curves inside, so no one could tell where they led to .
The party stopped again .
“We didn’t run into a single person, and all we see are Confusion Tunnels . If a person came here alone, they would definitely be walking around in circles until their death . ”
The people from Wind Assault Tower lamented in an incredibly somber manner .
“Wind Chimes . ”
This time, without needing Happy to say anything, Wind Chimes had already taken the initiative to move in front of the tunnels . She threw her oracle bones a few times and pointed at the second tunnel from the left .
“I saw Song Yuanqiao this way . The leftmost, rightmost, and center tunnels are all paths that will lead to our deaths . If you go in there, don’t even think about coming out . ”
“Is it a matrix?” Silver Wolf asked with a frown .
Wind Chimes nodded . “It’s similar, but they should be more complicated than matrices . They’re very dangerous .

Phantasmal Shadow’s party all felt chills go down their spine .
Three out of the five tunnels led to death . Did that not mean that there was a 60% chance that they would die?
“Are the other two paths safe?”
When Wind Chimes heard Wu Kuo asking for verification, she rolled her eyes in annoyance . “I didn’t say that they’re safe, I only said that I saw Song Yuanqiao in the second tunnel on the left . I can’t make a reading about the second tunnel on the right . The variables are too great . If I have to explain it using words… our survival there is uncertain . ”
Silence fell among the group .
None of them had anything to say about it .
‘This girl! Don’t scare us like that!’
“Tower Master Shadow, what do you think?” Happy looked at Phantasmal Shadow with an indifferent expression . For the first time ever, perplexity and hesitation appeared in her eyes . “I’m going to save Song Yuanqiao, so why don’t we split up and gather here later?”
“Okay . ”
No one knew what Phantasmal Shadow was thinking about, but she nodded and watched as Happy and his party walked into the second tunnel on the left . She did not move even after a long while .
The people from Wind Assault Tower knew that Wind Chimes would not have told any lies to frighten them .
‘Where should we go?’
Phantasmal Shadow thought about it for a long time before she gritted her teeth and brought her party to the second tunnel on the right!
*****
Not long after they entered the second tunnel on the left, Happy and his group came out from a tunnel situated behind a fake mountain . There was a blue sky above their heads, and a rather simple palace that gave off a luxurious air was built in the heart of the mountain . A few evil cult disciples and children were practicing in the training ground outside it .
It was quite a surprise…
Happy remembered that in his previous life, four out of the five tunnels led to certain death, and the people said that the chances of survival in those tunnels were slim! They were commonly known as Sky Demon Illusion!
But due to Song Yuanqiao’s quest, an extra path of survival seemed to have appeared .
“There’s a palace in the heart of the mountain? And it’s even so luxurious? I guess that the materials have been dropped from above . Tsk tsk, it’s such a huge project… They must have used a lot of money . ”

All-powerful Medicinal Stone sighed nonstop . “I wonder which important person from the evil cult is inside . ”
When the group heard All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s sentence, the expressions of Silver Wolf and the others became solemn, and even Happy snapped out of his daze . His thoughts returned to the present from his previous life .
Since a change had occurred among the tunnels, the situation inside instantly became unclear .
Happy did not dare to be inattentive and quickly observed the area .
Fortunately, the layout was not very complicated, and he could understand it with just one glance .
The fake mountains where his party were faced the blue sky above them and were located right at the center . The area in front of them was a training ground, and right next to it was the palace . There was also a row of houses on the other side with a few evil cult disciples with weapons in their hands standing outside . They appeared to be standing in an orderly fashion, and their rankings could be seen clearly .
“Wind Chimes, check and see whether Song Yuanqiao is in the palace or the houses…” Little North requested softly .
But Wind Chimes just rolled her eyes at him in a resigned fashion .
“Do you think I’m Doraemon or something? Since we’re this close, you can only rely on yourself to find him . Look, why don’t I use my zither to buy time while you go look for Song Yuanqiao?” Wind Chimes took the initiative to make a request after giving it some thought .
“No,” Happy rejected her request resolutely . “If someone powerful comes out, you’ll be in a very dangerous situation . Since we’re already in Sky Demon Secret Cave, we’ll cause a ruckus before we leave no matter where we go . ”
“True . Since we don’t know the situation inside, we might as well alarm them and make them reveal their strength themselves . ” Silver Wolf had a praising look on his face .
Clang! Clang, clang!
When the urgent, loud, and murderous sounds rose, the evil cult disciples around the palace and training grounds were instantly alerted! They looked toward the fake mountains .
“Enemy attack!”
“Invasion! Someone hurry up and notify the great elder!”
The people on the training ground noticed Wind Chimes sitting on the fake mountain and playing her zither, and their expressions changed .
The next moment, a loud voice rose from the palace, and soon, a momentum that surged to the air exploded forth . It was accompanied by a shout that kept on echoing in the air . The momentum went pressing toward the fake mountain with the force of an avalanche .
“Don’t need to! Who are you, and what business do you have in Sky Demon Sect!”
“Hmph!” Happy stood up proudly . He stared at the old man in brocade robes, who shot out from the palace, and narrowed his eyes slightly .
When he spoke, he sounded bold and righteous, like he wanted to denounce them . “Sky Demon Sect, you do hide yourselves well . You actually dug inside this cave that sees no light? But since you decided to hide yourselves, don’t come out to cause trouble!”
He stopped talking for a moment, and his voice became lower . “Hand Song Yuanqiao over, or else, we will flatten Sky Demon Sect!”
“Oh…” The old man in brocade robes drawled while he landed sixty-five feet away from Happy . A solemn expression appeared on his face .
“So you came for Song Yuanqiao . Brat, you’re pretty good . I didn’t expect you to chase us all the way to Sky Demon Sect…”
When he said that, his expression changed to one of relief, and his voice became cold . “But since you’re in Sky Demon Sect now, don’t think about leaving alive!”
The moment he finished speaking, he pounced on the fake mountains like a large mountain himself . He looked incredibly proud and arrogant .
The system notification arrived .
“Ding!
“Search for Song Yuanqiao’s whereabouts, kill Sky Demon Sect’s elder, and protect Song Yuanqiao while taking him out of Sky Demon Sect! Then return to Wudang Sect!
“If you succeed, you will gain the favor of Wudang Sect and Ming Cult!
“If you fail, Wudang Sect and Ming Cult will be greatly disappointed in you, and their affection for you will be reduced!”
A voice that sounded like a dull clap of lightning went toward the evil cult elder . “You’re just one evil cult elder, but you sound really arrogant!”
Happy charged forward ahead of the others .
“Are all youngsters in the world of martial artists nowadays so arrogant?”
The evil cult great elder laughed in anger, and two more powerful presences rose from the palace behind him .
The expression of Silver Wolf and the others changed instantly!
