Chapter 1569 Coward



Under the lead of Song Ji and the others, the cultivators worked together and quickly sealed the barrier.

Seeing that the Divine Worship Cave was sealed by the barrier, Old Madam Jing secretly heaved a sigh of relief. After she wiped the sweat off her forehead, she thought to herself, 'This is really the most thrilling birthday I've ever had in my life.'

She glanced at Song Ji and Yu Huang, who had brought the 'surprise' to her. She felt immense resentment, but she couldn't fall out with them directly. "Prime Emperor Divine Miracle, this ice flood dragon is indeed difficult to tame. I think you must have spent some effort to catch it. I'm really lucky to have received such a rare and precious gift."

Old Madam Jing spoke through gritted teeth. Everyone could feel her resentment.

However, Song Ji said, "Madam, the ice flood dragon is indeed wild and unruly, but the ice flood dragon we caught is not an irritable demon beast. We didn't spend much effort to successfully capture it. I heard that the ice flood dragon is a kind of demon beast with spirituality. Strong resentment can awaken the wildness in their bodies. Perhaps there is something with deep resentment hidden in this demon beast forest that made them lose control."

With that said, Song Ji glanced at the devastated Demonic Beast Forest below and asked Old Madam Jing, "Old Madam, I wonder if there are evil demon beasts reared in the demon beast forest?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the VIP guests changed.

Evil demon beasts were publicly acknowledged as demon beasts that must be killed. The Succubus Witch Clan belonged to the range of evil demon beasts. However, Succubus Witches could only be considered the lowest level of evil demon beasts.

Typically, when cultivators encountered evil demon beasts, they would kill them.

Who would rear evil demon beasts?

If a family or a big shot privately reared evil demon beasts, they were most likely up to no good.

If the Jing family really reared evil demon beasts in the demon beast forest, their motive was worth investigating.

When Old Madam Jing heard Song Ji's words, she immediately retorted angrily, "Be careful with your words! The Jing family never associates with evil, nor do we rear evil demon beasts in the demon beast forest."

"Oh really, is that so?" Yu Huang suddenly said, "I heard that the Jing family's Demonic Beast Forest is a Forbidden Ground and disciples beneath the Prime Master cultivation levels aren't allowed to enter the Demonic Beast Forest. Even Miss Jing, the successor, has to abide by this rule. They all say that the reason the Jing family set such a rule is to prevent weak cultivators from being injured by super demon beasts and great demons. Originally, I believed this, but…"

Yu Huang suddenly lowered her eyes and looked at the Divine Worship Cave below her. Then, she frowned and said, "I'm a Level 8 Purifying Spirit Master and can sense all evil and filthy existences. Previously, I didn't sense anything wrong in this demon beast forest, but after the Divine Worship Cave was destroyed by the ice flood dragon, I felt a powerful resentment that made me feel afraid."

"According to what I know, the super demon beast suppressed by the Jing family in this Divine Worship Cave is a carnivorous demon beast called a Moon Witch. Although this kind of demon beast has powerful destructive power and is ferocious by nature, they don't have human intelligence, so the resentment they can produce is very limited. The resentment that can produce resentment that even I fear can only be a divine demon or a real human!"

Yu Huang's gaze suddenly turned cold and she questioned Old Madam Jing, "May I ask what terrifying thing you are hiding in the Divine Worship Cave?!"

Upon hearing this, the VIPs led by Sr. Song revealed stunned and suspicious gazes.

Jing Jiaren stared at the Divine Worship Cave in a daze.

After Jing Ruge, who was saved by Mo Xiao, heard Yu Huang's words, he couldn't help but think of Zhang Zhanyi's reaction earlier. Could it be that his wife really secretly raised something terrifying in the Divine Worship Cave?

Could it be that his wife secretly raised an evil demon beast?

After Sr. Song heard Yu Huang's words, he realized Prime Emperor Divine Miracle and the others' true motive for tonight. From the looks of it, there must be something hidden in the Divine Worship Cave, and what Prime Emperor Divine Miracle and the others wanted to do was release that thing from the Divine Worship Cave.

Or, save it.

Realizing that this was a good opportunity to perform in front of Prime Emperor Divine Miracle, Sr. Song put on a serious expression and pressured Old Madam Jing. "Old Madam, Yu Huang is a Level 8 Purifying Spirit Master. Her senses have never been wrong. You also insisted that there's nothing abnormal in the Divine Worship Cave. Now, we can only send someone into the Divine Worship Cave to investigate and verify if what Yu Huang said is true or not."

"Grand Master Song!" Old Madam Jing sneered and retorted Sr. Song, "This is a forbidden area of the Jing family. How can we break the rules just because of Yu Huang's words? If we let her enter the Divine Worship Cave and wake up that super demon beast, will you be able to bear the consequences?"

Old Madam Jing glanced at Yu Huang meaningfully and said, "Besides, she's the only Purifying Spirit Master present. Who knows if what she said is true or not? Everyone, don't forget that Yu Huang's mother was expelled from the Jing family by me, so Yu Huang has a grudge against the Jing family. We don't know what her motives are."

Upon hearing this, Sr. Song could only chuckle and didn't say anything else.

At this moment, Yu Huang laughed sinisterly. "Old Madam, don't be angry. If you're afraid that someone will trespass into the Divine Worship Cave and be accidentally injured by that super demon beast, I'm willing to enter the tiger's den and investigate." With that said, Yu Huang didn't give Old Madam Jing a chance to object. She turned around and bowed to Song Ji and the others. "Mentor, Godfather, Second Uncle, I'm willing to go to the Divine Worship Cave to investigate. Whether I end up dead or alive will have nothing to do with the Jing family."

Song Ji nodded and said to Yu Huang, "Be careful."

"Okay."

Under the flustered and uneasy gazes of Old Madam Jing, Jing Ruge, and the others, Yu Huang jumped down without hesitation.

The people outside could easily jump into the barrier, so Yu Huang easily passed through the barrier and arrived at the ruins of the Divine Worship Cave. She suddenly looked up at Jing Jiaren, who was standing behind Jing Ruge. After she touched the golden hairpin on her head and said something to Jing Jiaren, she took out her spirit sword and cut open a crack before entering the Divine Worship Cave through the crack.

Others didn't see what Yu Huang was saying clearly, but Jing Jiaren could read Yu Huang's lips clearly.

She was saying—

Coward.

The blood in Jing Jiaren's body churned, and a suffocating sensation rushed from her chest to her throat.

"Pfft!" Jing Jiaren suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Everyone looked at Jing Jiaren in shock.

Jing Ruge asked her worriedly, "Jiaren, are you injured?"

After Jing Jiaren wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, she touched the golden hairpin on her head and suddenly said, "Grand Master Song is right. This matter concerns the innocence of the Jing family. Regardless of whether Yu Huang is telling the truth or not, we should verify it. Since Yu Huang dared to enter the lion's den, as the successor of the Jing family, I should go with her."

With that, Jing Jiaren also jumped into the seal barrier and followed Yu Huang into the Divine Worship Cave.
