Chapter 174 - 171: Secret Cave
Ye Xuan, who was nearby, found the whole situation rather amusing. Although he didn’t say anything, he couldn’t help thinking that Ouyang Lie was truly shameless. The actions of the Wildfire Sect probably always reflected this attitude, but Ye Xuan couldn’t help but admire the ingenuity of such a method.
Despite Ling Qianxue wanting to retort to Ouyang Lie’s explanation, she couldn’t find a weak point to argue against, since Ouyang Lie claimed that he had become an external Elder and his arrival didn’t violate any rules.
Even Song Ming from Xingyun Pavilion seemed a bit uncomfortable coming face to face with Ouyang Lie. He thought he had thick skin, but Ouyang Lie was even thicker. Originally, Xingyun Pavilion held the strongest influence in Wanxiang Mountain, but now with Ouyang Lie, an inner Elder from Wildfire Sect suddenly appearing, the situation had become unpredictable.
Ouyang Lie was a Third Grade Martial Sect. Even the power of Xingyun Pavilion’s Great Elder was slightly inferior.
"Since there’s nothing else," Ouyang Lie said, "let’s join forces early and break through the Prohibition of this secret cave. The simple Prohibition at the entrance of the cave has been broken, and only a final powerful Sealing is left. None of our forces can break it alone; only by combining our efforts do we stand a chance to open it. We should act immediately while it’s still early."
Ouyang Lie’s expression didn’t change. If the Prohibition in the cave had not been so strong, they would have already broken in rather than waiting until now.
The longer they delayed, the higher the chance it would be nighttime when the demons from the Black Demon Sect became active, potentially leading to trouble. It was best to find the Heavenly Origin Ancient Seed during the daytime.
"Alright."
Ling Qianxue understood Ouyang Lie’s point and aimed to break the Prohibition sooner rather than later.
"We have no objections either."
