Jiang Qing nodded in satisfaction and said, "You did the right thing. This person called Li Tianji should have a high position in the Lunar Demonic World. He is even stronger than me. Even I do not dare to get close to him. The Demonic Moon Box belongs to him. We should not lose our lives because of greed."
After Jiang Qing said this, Long Chen looked at him with a smile and said, "Indeed, you are right. If we insist on things that do not belong to us, there will not be a good result."
Jiang Qing was stunned. He could see the power of insight in Long Chen's eyes.
Jiang Qing only treated it as an illusion, and changed the topic, saying, "I've actually seen your performance along the way, it's very perfect, even better than Ye Zheng's. When you return this time, there will definitely be a lot of rewards for you, but the prerequisite is that you have to survive the final attack. Right now, Ye Zheng and the others are still trapped there. For you, this is a very big opportunity, and there's also this Li Tianji. It's very likely that he killed the remaining two Cave Masters. Although it wasn't you guys who killed them, this is still considered an external factor that cannot be resisted, and the credit will also be given to you."
"In that case …" Long Chen guessed that if Li Tianji wanted to obtain the Demonic Moon Box, he would definitely come into conflict with the Lunar Demonic Cave Master, Li Qingyue. With Li Tianji's strength, it should not be difficult for him to kill Li Qingyue.
"That's right, I have not seen Senior Han Yunxing in the past few days. Hence, it is possible that he did not come. This fellow always does things beyond the expectations of others. You have to be mentally prepared. If he did not come, all your efforts would have been wasted," Jiang Qing said with a strange expression.
The supervisor did not come. This should be a big matter. However, from Jiang Qing's expression, it did not seem to be a big deal.
Long Chen had a rough idea of what was going on. He said, "Don't worry, I will just focus on doing my part. Furthermore, I can save so many people. Saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda."
"It is good that you have thought things through. It is not appropriate for me to have too much contact with you. You should take care of yourself first. Furthermore, Senior Drunkard is just my guess. He is a peak cultivator of the Martial God Palace. The Soul Suppressing Stone of the Moon Demon Cave will not be able to suppress his Spiritual Sense. With his Spiritual Sense, even if he does not enter the Moon Demon Cave, he will be able to grasp everything."
An expert of this level was what Long Chen truly yearned for.
"Let's go."
After saying that, Jiang Qing moved to the side and followed Long Chen in secret. However, she could not openly make a move. Long Chen did not say anything else. He headed in the direction of the altar. He originally thought that Li Tianji would immediately make a move. However, when he arrived, he discovered that Li Tianji did not. Continuing forward, Long Chen finally saw a bright light in front of him. After passing through a narrow passage, Long Chen discovered that there were people everywhere.
Crouching at the edge of the passage, Long Chen stuck his head out and looked ahead. In front of him was a huge and hollow cave. This was the largest cave that Long Chen had seen so far. Most importantly, the walls of the cave were decorated with magnificent gold and silver bricks. It did not look like a cave, but the interior of a palace.
In this place, everything needed for a palace could be found. This was the true core of the Moon Demon Cave. Long Chen had been completely wrong. Everyone would enjoy it, and the people of the Moon Demon Cave would not like to live in a cave. In front of him was an underground city built in a cave.
Jiang Qing, Li Tianji, and the others were within a mile of the Soul-Devouring Demon Eye's range. They were all on another path not far from Long Chen. Along the way, Long Chen and Li Tianji had killed many of the Moon Demon Cave's people. Now, aside from the people in front of them, there shouldn't be any other Moon Demon Cave's people left.
In the center of the underground city was an altar. On top of the altar was a large incense burner and a table. Below the incense burner was a pit that was more than ten meters deep.
It was a pit with a radius of more than a hundred meters, and it was filled with people. Everyone's faces were deathly pale. There were 999 people in total. From this, Long Chen deduced that these people should be from the nearby small cities. They had been captured and brought here to be sacrificed.
They couldn't escape, because there was a layer of golden light covering the crater. These ordinary people, whose cultivation base hadn't reached the Divine Martial Arts Realm at most, couldn't escape. Seeing that there wasn't much time left until the Moon Devil Sacrifice, the people on the ground knew that death was imminent. They all burst into tears, and some of them were unwilling to give up, pointing in one direction and cursing.
That was the other side of the pit. There were three golden thrones and ten silver thrones. Seven of the silver thrones were occupied, while two of the golden thrones were occupied. One of the seats was empty. There was no doubt that the empty seat was reserved for Xue Yazi.
Three golden thrones were arranged in a triangular formation. In the center of the thrones sat a woman in a long purple dress, her face covered by a veil. Her figure was graceful, and her curves were astonishing. She exuded an alluring aura, but the coldness in her eyes under the veil was terrifying. This was most likely the Great Cave Master of the Moon Devil Cave, Li Qingyue.
From what Li Tianji had said, she was originally from the Supreme Shadow Demon Realm.
As for the Second Cave Master, he was a tall and burly man. Even though he was sitting on a chair, one could see that his body was extremely sturdy, just like a lion. Especially that head of messy golden hair, as well as that disdainful and unrestrained gaze, it was exactly the same as a lion that surveyed its territory in the grasslands.
This was the Second Cave Master of the Moon Demon Cave. His name was Qin Shi, and he had the Royal Lion Bloodline. According to the information, he cultivated the World-Shaking Royal Lion Fist. This was a cultivation method with extremely strong offensive and destructive power. Just like Qin Shi's body, it was filled with power.
Apart from these two, the other seven were the Vice Cave Masters of the Moon Demon Cave. Each of their strength was about the same as Wu Yang, or the previous Yang Xiong. The highest level that Long Chen could handle was people of this level. If there were more, he would not be able to handle them.
The Divine Sense Realm was equivalent to the God Martial Spirit growing eyes. Apart from the amplification of Divine Origin, there was no other effect in battle. However, as long as Long Chen entered the Celestial Being Realm, his battle strength would definitely increase greatly.
The reason why he was able to fight so many experts above his level was because of the heaven-defying Ancestral Dragon Martial Artist, the amplification of the Sword Martial Artist, and the power of the Scarlet Blood Sacred Art.
However, he knew that as his level increased, the martial artists above the sixth level of the Divine Martial Realm were all at a heaven-defying level. Against such martial artists, Long Chen's advantage would not be so obvious.
Under the effect of the Soul Suppressing Stone, even Li Qingyue, who was in the Moon Demon Cave, did not know that someone had actually entered, let alone that someone was watching their every move. Long Chen had originally thought that Li Tianji would make a move as soon as he entered, but he did not expect that he would remain motionless and wait to watch the show.
"Could it be that he is waiting for Li Qingyue to take out the Moonlight Cache Box, which is also known as the Magic Moon Box, when the full moon falls?" Long Chen thought in his heart.
The stronger the expert, the less they valued the lives of the weak. Li Tianji was not necessarily a bad person, but he would not necessarily make a move in advance because he felt pity for those weak people.
However, when Li Qingyue took out the Magic Moon Box, who could be sure that at that time, she did not give the order to kill first?
Long Chen could only wait silently.
Ye Zheng and the others probably would not be able to find this place at all. Everything depended on Long Chen himself. Moreover, Long Chen had put the Devouring Fire on Ye Zheng. If he met Ye Zheng again, it would definitely be a battle of life and death.
For the current Long Chen, the sixth level of the Divine Martial Realm was a big threshold.
Time passed slowly. The night of the full moon was probably coming soon. The moon could not be seen in this cave, but the full moon probably had a great impact on the Magic Moon Box.
Long Chen held his breath and watched. At this time, Li Qingyue and the others estimated that the time was up, and their faces revealed a happy expression. As for the 999 people in the pit, they all revealed a terrified expression. Panicked shouts and cries resounded in the pit.
Li Qingyue did not take out the Magic Moon Box. Instead, she ordered, "Kill them all."
Long Chen looked at Li Tianji again. There was no movement. He should still be waiting for Li Qingyue to take out the Magic Moon Box.
With the strength of the warriors of the Moon Devil Cave, it was very easy to kill these commoners. At this time, Long Chen had no other choice. Without saying anything, he suddenly appeared, turned into a golden lightning, and instantly landed in front of the seven deputy cave masters. Behind Long Chen were the trapped commoners.
"Who is it?"
The people of the Moon Devil Cave were all shocked. They looked at Long Chen in a daze. They had absolute faith in Xue Yazi's mechanisms, so they did not believe that someone could actually come to this place. Moreover, it was a young man. So the appearance of Long Chen was really unexpected.
"Who are you?" Li Qingyue asked calmly.
In front of her, the seven deputy cave masters looked at each other. One of them stood up and walked towards Long Chen. No matter who Long Chen was, he had to take care of Long Chen. The Moon Devil Sacrificial Ceremony was a big event, and it was a good opportunity for them to cultivate. They could not let this unknown person disturb them.
"Don't kill him first. Ask him where he came from," Qin Shi said in a low voice.
Qin Shi said in a low voice. The moment he spoke, the surrounding air vibrated and buzzed.
This was the power of his voice.
Long Chen's appearance interrupted Li Qingyue's progress in the Moon Devil Sacrificial Ceremony. At this time, one of the deputy cave masters walked towards Long Chen. This was a gloomy man, and the pressure he exerted on Long Chen was no less than that of Su Xiaodie. The only difference was that he was not a genius like Su Xiaodie.
