Chapter 738: Shi Tianming!
Li Yun arrived in front of a light gate that bore the symbol of a pitch-black cave.
This was the gate leading to the Endless Demon Cave.
In front of this light gate stood a black-robed deacon. Coincidentally, this black-robed deacon was the same person who had brought Li Yun to his Independent Island that day.
"Junior Brother Li, it is you?"
Seeing Li Yun’s arrival, the black-robed deacon was clearly pleasantly surprised and quickly greeted him.
"Senior Brother Chen, why are you here?"
Seeing this black-robed deacon, Li Yun was also a little surprised.
"This is my primary duty. If I am not here, where else would I be?"
The black-robed deacon, Chen Feng, smiled and said, "Normally, I am responsible for guarding the Endless Demon Cave secret realm. Going to pick you up that day was only a side task."
"I see."
Li Yun nodded and said, "Senior Brother Chen, I want to enter the Endless Demon Cave. I wonder if there are still slots available?"
"Of course there are."
Chen Feng smiled and said, "As an elite disciple, you can enter the Endless Demon Cave at any time, so why even ask? However, the Endless Demon Cave was opened once just a short while ago. If you want to enter, you might have to wait for a while."
"Alright."
Li Yun nodded.
He also knew that for the sake of maintenance and long-term use, every cultivation secret realm of the Profound Origin Immortal Sect would only open once within a certain period.
Even elite disciples had no right to change this.
Immediately, he found a spot and waited for the opening of the Endless Demon Cave with his eyes half-closed.
As time passed, more cultivators arrived one after another. Clearly, they were disciples who also wanted to enter the Endless Demon Cave.
"What did you say?"
Suddenly, a roar reached Li Yun’s ears.
He saw a sturdy young man with a full beard staring at Chen Feng with eyes as large as a bull’s. The young man roared angrily, "The quota for this batch is full? Are you kidding me? I already reserved two slots a month ago."
"That is indeed the case."
Chen Feng’s indifferent voice sounded. "However, for this batch of the Endless Demon Cave, an elite disciple will be participating. Therefore, between you and your brother, only one person can enter the Endless Demon Cave."
"Elite disciple?"
The bearded young man’s expression changed abruptly.
He scanned the area, and his gaze finally landed on Li Yun. At that moment, his entire body relaxed.
Immediately, a look of disdain appeared on his face.
He strode over to Li Yun, looked down at him from above, and said indifferently, "If I am not mistaken, you are that Li Yun who ranked first on the Candidate Elite List this time, right?"
"Ranking first on the Candidate Elite List is indeed quite a good result, but it only means you have some potential. Right now, you are only at the 1st level of Heavenly Core Realm. You are weak and not worth mentioning."
"A mere 1st level Heavenly Core Realm cultivator entering the Endless Demon Cave is not only a waste, but also an act of seeking death."
He sneered and continued, "As your senior, I advise you to gracefully withdraw from the Endless Demon Cave. Otherwise, a dead elite disciple is no longer an elite disciple."
"Hm?"
Hearing this, Li Yun’s eyebrows rose slightly as he glanced at the bearded young man.
Originally, because he had cut in line and caused the other party’s quota to be taken, Li Yun had felt a small trace of guilt. However, the other party’s attitude caused that guilt to vanish completely.
He said indifferently, "Are you finished? If you are finished, you can shut up now."
"You!"
The bearded young man’s face immediately turned ugly. He snorted coldly and said, "Good. Very good. You have some guts, kid. However, I hope you still have this kind of courage after entering the Endless Demon Cave."
After speaking, he strode back to his younger brother’s side, patted his shoulder, and lowered his voice.
"Little brother, you will have to endure it this time. But do not worry, I will definitely vent your anger for you."
Although he seemed to lower his voice, he was clearly only putting on an act. His words could be heard clearly by everyone present.
"Presumptuous."
Chen Feng’s face finally darkened as he said coldly, "To dare openly threaten an elite disciple in front of everyone, you really have quite the nerve. I think neither of you brothers needs to enter the Endless Demon Cave."
"Forget it."
Unexpectedly, after Chen Feng spoke, Li Yun spoke up.
He said indifferently, "Senior Brother Chen, since he reserved a slot, you cannot just strip it away arbitrarily. If he wants to enter, then let him enter."
"This..."
Chen Feng was stunned.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "In that case, Li Yun, be careful yourself. If you encounter any danger, leave the Endless Demon Cave immediately."
Then, he looked at the bearded man again and said coldly, "Shi Tianming, remember this. If anything happens to Li Yun inside the Endless Demon Cave, I will definitely report it to the sect and replay the scenes from within the cave."
"If you dare pull any tricks or harbor any ill intentions, you should know the consequences."
As he spoke, he took out a purple token and pressed it against the light gate.
Suddenly, with a rumbling sound, a passage emerged from the location of the light gate. It was the passage leading to the Endless Demon Cave.
"Alright, you may enter."
He withdrew the purple token and spoke indifferently.
Swoosh!
As the only elite disciple present, Li Yun was the first to step out. With a flicker of his body, he directly entered the Endless Demon Cave.
Afterward, the other outer sect disciples also entered one after another.
Finally, the bearded young man gave a cold snort and stepped inside as well.
