Chapter 2424: Chapter 2424: Another Identity

”What happened?”

Ye Haochuan asked urgently.

”She seems to have exposed her Hua Clan identity and was captured and thrown into the Seal Demon Cave early on. At this time, I’m afraid...” Xierui’s expression was gloomy.

”What?”

Ye Haochuan gasped, and a surge of resentment rose in his heart.

Having stayed in the South Sect for such a long time, he had already heard of the infamous reputation of the Seal Demon Cave.

It was a place sealed with numerous types of poisonous demonic qi, and all the demonic qi the South Sect could find would be sealed there.

They weren’t really trying to solve problems for others, but rather because these demonic qi could nurture a certain treasure—Withered Demon Bloodstone.

This bloodstone, nurtured by demonic qi over the years, was said to be able to refine a top-grade divine artifact if collected in sufficient quantity.

It is said that the Demon-Suppressing Kunlun Seal, one of the seven divine artifacts, was refined using this method.

Although refining another one of the seven divine artifacts was unlikely, it was still possible to greatly enhance a magical treasure’s power by adding this bloodstone to its refining process.

Of course, what established the notorious reputation of the Seal Demon Cave were not these artifact-refining treasures, but the various demonic qi within the cave.

Cultivators facing demonic qi are like ordinary people on Earth facing a super-virus; once demonic qi invades a cultivator’s body, it could cause severe illness at best and possession by demonic qi at worst, causing loss of reason and becoming a beast-like walking corpse.

Only those who had attained extremely high levels of cultivation could entirely avoid the effects of demonic qi.

And why would those powerful cultivators do such menial work as collecting treasures?

Therefore, the job of entering the Seal Demon Cave to collect treasures fell into the hands of serious offenders captured by the South Sect.

The Immortal Realm inherently lacked the concept of human rights, let alone for some condemned prisoners.

Although these prisoners would suffer heavy casualties under the torment of demonic qi, for the South Sect, it was a worthwhile trade-off, acquiring Withered Demon Bloodstones without sacrificing their own people.

Xu Linglan was captured there, and her fate was predictable.

”Where is the Seal Demon Cave? Take me there immediately!”

Ye Haochuan gritted his teeth and said to Xierui.

Xierui noted Ye Haochuan’s anger but still advised, ”Don’t act impulsively. The vicinity of the Seal Demon Cave is heavily guarded by South Sect masters. If you try to barge in, it’s definitely a death sentence.”

Jiang Shuying also gently patted Ye Haochuan’s back and advised, ”If it’s really as you say—a major site of the South Sect—then it won’t be easy to infiltrate. Don’t act recklessly. I don’t want to find a son only to lose a husband.”

Jiang Shuying’s words were like a splash of cold water, instantly sobering Ye Haochuan.

He forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to ask, ”Xierui, how much do you know about the Seal Demon Cave?”

”Probably because of my skin color, they didn’t associate me with the Hua Clan. When they first captured me, they just put me in a regular prison for interrogation. My knowledge of the Seal Demon Cave came from other inmates.”

Xierui recalled seriously, ”I heard there’s a South Sect elder stationed there long-term, whose cultivation seems to have reached the Void God Peak. Besides that, it’s likely quite a few Void God Late Stage cultivators are present too.”

”That would be problematic!” Jiang Shuying’s brow furrowed deeply.

Being the strongest among them, yet still only at the Void God Late Stage, trying to rescue someone through such layers of barriers was nothing short of a fool’s dream.

Ye Haochuan had calmed down completely, his mind whirring quickly, and suddenly smiled lightly, ”There’s no need to charge in. Have you forgotten I have another identity?”

”Are you referring to your identity as an ordinary disciple of the South Sect?” Rui’er was the first to react.

Ye Haochuan nodded lightly and said, ”With this identity, slipping inside shouldn’t be an issue. Once I find Xu Linglan, I can bring her into the Minor World, and then walk out with ease.”

”Isn’t it risky? If discovered, it will be like a fish in a barrel!” Xierui worriedly remarked.

”Rest assured, I have several life-preserving techniques. At worst, I can retreat into the Minor World!”

Ye Haochuan casually replied, his expression then turning serious, ”I hope they haven’t harmed Linglan. Otherwise, I’ll make them pay.”

Having made up his mind, Ye Haochuan wasted no time, prepared everything, and left the Minor World.

The location of the Seal Demon Cave was not that secretive; almost everyone in Qiongyuan Mansion knew where it was. Thus, Ye Haochuan easily appeared at the entrance of the Seal Demon Cave.

A vast and magnificent complex stood before him, comparable to some ordinary imperial palaces. From the outside, no one would guess this was one of the notorious places among southern mansions.

”Stop! Daring to trespass in the South Sect’s restricted area, do you have a death wish?”

Ye Haochuan had barely reached the palace gate when a threatening voice reached his ears.

”Please don’t misunderstand, senior brother, I’m from the West Peak. I’ve received a mission to negotiate with a senior brother named Gou Dongxi. Please, senior brother, open the door for me!”

Ye Haochuan’s tone was courteous, holding his token which represented his identity.

”West Peak?”

A middle-aged cultivator with a mole on his right cheek appeared before Ye Haochuan, examining the token carefully.

”The token is real, and so are you!”

The middle-aged cultivator quickly confirmed, sneering, ”Ye Haochuan, right? You folks from West Peak are really pitiable. Already the worst among the four peaks, and now lost the top genius, Du Tianze, in the Four Images Secret Realm.

I think West Peak is beyond saving; it might as well disband and merge with the other peaks!”

His words were drenched in ridicule.

Unfortunately, this attempt to humiliate Ye Haochuan was as futile as winking at the blind.

Being an undercover, why would Ye Haochuan care about such matters?

Not only ridicule, even if other peaks exterminated the entire West Peak, it wouldn’t matter to him in the slightest!

”Senior brother is right. I also feel there’s no hope for West Peak. If it weren’t for South Sect’s rule against easy peak transfer, I’d have joined North Peak for sure.”

Spinning lies and sucking up came naturally to Ye Haochuan, ”You can’t imagine, seeing you senior brothers squander resources makes a junior like me envious to tears, fainting in the restroom several times.”

”Hahaha, blame your bad luck!”

The middle-aged cultivator burst into laughter, feeling superior. He didn’t even bother asking about the Gou Dongxi Ye Haochuan mentioned and opened the door directly, saying, ”Go in, but don’t stay too long, or don’t blame me for being heartless.”

”Certainly, certainly!”

Feigning humility, Ye Haochuan secretly slipped a ring filled with red crystals into the middle-aged cultivator’s hand, worth tens of billions.

This amount was nothing to a True Immortal Peak cultivator, but it was better than nothing. And even if the money meant little, his subservient demeanor would definitely lull him into false security.

However, Ye Haochuan didn’t realize that after he left, the middle-aged cultivator’s expression suddenly hardened.

He called over a subordinate and instructed, ”Follow him, report any anomalies immediately!”
