Chapter 36: The Demon Cave

Yet, seeing their miserable forms locked inside, the rabbit demon continuously shrank closer into Bai He’s embrace.

Bai He ignored her entirely and continued walking.

Further ahead were higher-level demons.

Between them existed suppression based on bloodlines!

So when the white rabbit followed Bai He to this area, she clearly had a fear that made her not dare to move at all.

"I... I cannot be locked in here."

The rabbit demon accepted her fate.

Even if it meant dying, she would absolutely not die in this place.

Even if she was destined to be confined in the Demon Cave, she could not allow herself to be locked here.

Even if she survived, sooner or later, she would die of fright.

"No, no, no... don’t go any further."

"I’ve heard that ahead are some demons with unparalleled strength, even including a thousand-year-old demon. I’ve never seen them before. Today, taking this opportunity, I’ll bring you forward so you can open your eyes."

Bai He was driven by curiosity and interest.

But for the rabbit demon...

The presence of the higher-level demons ahead brought an extreme sense of oppression and unmatched in intensity, where even breathing felt like a luxury.

"What are you afraid of? You’re in my hands. Besides, those higher-level demons are all sealed. At most, they’re fierce, but they can’t escape, and they won’t harm you."

"Little Elder Bai, I really know I was wrong," the rabbit demon cried so hard she couldn’t stop, "I beg you, please don’t torment me like this. I am willing to be confined in the Demon Cave. Please, don’t go any further. I... I’ll die."

Die? Would that really happen?

Bai He felt somewhat speechless.

Wasn’t this a little exaggerated?

"You’re not lying to me, are you?"

The rabbit demon shivered uncontrollably.

Her trembling form was truly strange.

"I really am not lying to you."

"Little Elder Bai..."

Bai He was still wondering whether the rabbit demon was trying to deceive him or not when a voice came from behind.

He turned around. "What are you doing here?"

"I heard that Little Elder Bai had come, so I came to find you. How did you end up here? This is dangerous," Ye Shiyuan said.

Ye Shiyuan originally was not allowed to enter here, but Yao Xiangli’s first disciple token had not yet been reclaimed from him.

Bai He had already been inside for some time.

Ye Shiyuan feared that he might be in danger, so he had no choice but to come and check.

The place where the rabbit demon was confined was outside the demon’s cage.

He only needed to find an empty cage.

There was no need to walk all the way this far in.

Ye Shiyuan had been here before as well.

If he continued moving further, the immense pressure would make it difficult to breathe.

Bai He gave a speechless smile. "Then I’ll come again next time."

Bai He did not understand why both Ye Shiyuan and the rabbit demon had reacted so strangely.

Was the deeper part of the Demon Cave really that terrifying?

Why was it that along the way, aside from those demons that did not look very pleasing to the eye, he felt nothing at all?

If anything, what he felt was mostly curiosity.

Ye Shiyuan found a cage and locked the rabbit demon inside.

This time, she was very obedient and no longer shouted about wanting to leave.

After all, everything depended on comparison.

After being taken deeper inside by Bai He and making a round through the area, she finally realized that this place was actually much, much better.

Leaving the Demon Cave, Bai He could not help but ask, "Ye Shiyuan, you’ve been here before. Did you see the great demons inside the Demon Cave, or those extremely ferocious fiends?"

Ye Shiyuan frowned slightly.

Everyone knew that throughout the entire cultivation world, the Lingguang Sect that was recognized as the number one cultivation sect under heaven possessed a Demon Cave.

Within the Demon Cave were imprisoned countless powerful experts from the demon and devil realms.

Because of this, the Lingguang Sect was also the cultivation sect most feared by the demon and devil realms.

Unfortunately, Bai He had entered the sect too recently, so he did not know exactly what kind of beings were imprisoned inside.

Moreover, in the original text, there were actually very few descriptions of the Demon Cave.

It was precisely because of this that Bai He was so curious.

"It is said that when the founding ancestor established the sect, he captured many demons and devils who committed all kinds of evil acts, and thus used formations to create the Demon Cave. Although this disciple entered the sect a little earlier than Little Elder Bai, I also do not know whether there are extremely powerful demons and devils inside. However, judging from my own feelings, there should be," Ye Shiyuan replied.

"Why do you say that?"

Ye Shiyuan thought for a moment. "Back then, after I obtained the First Disciple Token, I was once ordered to escort a demon into the Demon Cave for confinement. Just like Little Elder Bai earlier, I was very curious about what was inside and wanted to see whether there were some demons or devils I had never seen before."

"And then?"

Bai He looked full of anticipation as if he were listening to a story and eager to hear what the ending would be.

Ye Shiyuan seemed to recall something unpleasant, his brows knitting together.

"Perhaps my strength was insufficient at that time, so I did not have the courage to advance even half a step further."

That was precisely the spot where Bai He had stopped earlier.

However, what surprised Ye Shiyuan greatly was that Bai He’s expression at that time had been relaxed and at ease, as if he had not been affected in the slightest.

Only those with greater strength could advance farther.

Yet Little Elder Bai...

Ye Shiyuan knew better than anyone exactly how capable Bai He currently was.
