Chapter 526: Chapter 183: Poison Mist Cave – A Race Against Time to Save the Children

In the deep and mysterious heart of the Yun-Gui Plateau, the Five Poison Sect Headquarters lurks silently amidst the vast mountain forest, akin to an ancient giant beast hidden in the shadows.

Amongst the mountains, clouds and mist linger all year round, as thick as ink, forming an impenetrable veil that fully conceals the headquarters, adding endless mystery and chilling atmosphere to the land.

Stepping into this area feels like falling into a peculiar world isolated from society, where each breath of air seems to hide unknown deadly dangers, sending shivers down one’s spine.

At the heart of the headquarters is the Snake Cave, undoubtedly the forbidden place within forbidden places, like the entrance to Hell Abyss, emitting a terrifying and eerie aura. The cave mouth is half-hidden by a huge black rock, engraved with bizarre twisted runes silently proclaiming an ancient curse, and silently warning those who dare to enter.

Inside the cave, it is damp and dark, water droplets seeping from the walls slowly slide down the rough stone, and the ticking sound is exceptionally clear in the dead silence, akin to Death God’s relentless and slow countdown.

A choking, intense stench permeates every inch of the air, piercing into the nasal cavity, almost causing nausea.

Countless venomous snakes slither freely across the stone walls and ground, their scales gleaming with a cold, eerie light in the faint yellow glow, resembling ghostly fires flickering in the night, sending chills through people.

They flick their long tongues, emitting hissing sounds that converge into a symphony of death from Hell, striking fear into hearts. At this moment, the Five Poison Sect is conducting the mysterious and solemn ”Ten Thousand Gu Sacrifice.”

On the altar, various strangely-shaped gu insects writhe uneasily in exquisitely crafted vessels, emanating faint and bizarre light.

All the members of the Five Poison Sect wear black robes, their faces stern and solemn, chanting around the altar, in low and mysterious voices, communicating with unknown supernatural forces.

Yet the sudden intrusion of Shi Feiyang with Yili is like a giant stone thrown into a calm, waveless lake, instantly shattering the existing deathly silence and peace. His tall silhouette and Yili’s elegant posture appear, and panic and furious emotions spread rapidly through the crowds like a surging tide.

Amidst the chaos, the sacred artifact of the sect, the ”Five Poison Tripod,” was knocked to the ground with a ”bang,” shattering into pieces. The crisp sound of it breaking echoed throughout the headquarters, like the ominous trumpet heralding disaster.

A thrilling and intense confrontation thus unfolded with a bloody curtain.

Lan Xiaodie, upon learning of Shi Feiyang’s intrusion, felt her long-repressed anger instantly ignite like a super volcano about to erupt, with scorching magma surging within her. Intent on avenging her father, she appeared without hesitation and swiftly approached Shi Feiyang.

She was dressed in plain black nightwear, like a ghost shuttling through the dark night, mysterious and cold.

Her face was covered with a black veil, revealing only her eyes, in which burned the fierce fire of hate, intent on completely consuming Shi Feiyang and turning him to ashes.

She lightly leapt onto the Thousand Snake Altar, glaring down at Shi Feiyang, shouting loudly, ”Shi Feiyang, you dare to intrude into my Five Poison Sect’s forbidden land today and destroy our sacred artifact, bring your life here!”

As soon as her words fell, her hands swiftly began to weave gestures, fingers flying quickly, chanting words with low and eerie voices, as if summoning demons sleeping in the depths of Hell.

In an instant, seven venomous snakes emanating eerie blue light shot forth like lightning from all directions.

They moved with agility and speed, tracing elusive trails of light in the air.

The seven snakes quickly formed the ”Seven Stars Accompanying Moon Snake Array” following the Beidou orientation, their heads raised high, tongues flicking rapidly, eyes blood red with a cruel and bloodthirsty gleam, fiercely attacking Shi Feiyang with utmost ferocity. These venomous snakes moved with agility beyond human imagination, their speed almost making it impossible to capture their actions.

They sprayed lethal venom, tracing arcs in the air like arrows soaked in deadly poison, corroding the ground into dark pits with a ”sizzling” sound, a pungent smell swiftly enveloping the surroundings, nearly causing suffocation.

Yili screamed in fright, her face pale, body trembling uncontrollably. Feeling Yili’s fear, Shi Feiyang unthinkingly reached back, his movements gentle yet full of strength, securing Yili steadily on his back.

He softly whispered in Yili’s ear, ”Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

The voice was deep and firm, like the warm sun of spring, instantly dispelling the fear in Yili’s heart.

His breath gently brushed against Yili’s ear, carrying strands of warmth, gradually calming her panicked heart.

Immediately, Shi Feiyang quickly drew the Celestial Frost Blade, its blade gleaming with cold light, perfectly merging with the surrounding sinister aura in an instant.

His gaze was like a torch, locked tightly onto every move of the seven venomous snakes, not missing any subtle trajectory.

Suddenly, he shouted loudly, voice booming like a bell, causing the surrounding air to tremble violently, seemingly able to shatter the darkness of this space.
