Chapter 707 37: Battle Royale in the Mystic Cave? My Turn!

Ah!

A piercing scream echoed from afar.

After Duncan and his companions entered the Bao Xuan Grotto Heaven, some other Southern Border experts from HePu County couldn't resist the temptation and followed them into the cracked grotto heaven portal.

The allure of immortality was simply too great.

After all, it was the immortal family's grotto heaven; who knows, they might casually find some celestial treasures that would be worth decades of their hard practice.

But the guy just now wasn't so lucky.

He landed at a spot some tens of feet away from the cliff edge. With no foothold in the surrounding high air, after exhausting his True Qi, he couldn't maintain his position and we only heard a splat—the young man slept like a log.

Those Jianghu people with poor Qinggong probably won't pass the first test.

"I'll have to learn to fly someday!" Duncan thought to himself.

The mystical portal of this Grotto Heaven Blessed Land was quite peculiar. Unless people entered at the same time, their landing positions would be different. Duncan and Fu Jianhan entered in the same batch, yet still, they were separated by several tens of feet. When Miss Sun came in, she landed on the ancient pine side of the cliff.

It felt like parachuting onto an island map; the real grotto heaven portal should be somewhere in the sky, not on the ground.

"Hey there, let me pull you up."

A crisp female voice came from above, followed by flying vines that whipped out like long whips. Duncan reached out to grab the vine and boosted himself, leaping up to the hundreds of meters-high cliff.

Fu Jianhan stabbed his sword into the cliff, standing below with eyes filled with longing, while the Five Immortals Sect Saintess scoffed coldly, showing her unwillingness to help him.

Duncan didn't mind, grabbed the vine, and with a swing, pulled Fu Jianhan up as well.

"Give me some face."

"Whatever grudges you have, deal with them after we get out."

Duncan the Great activated his 'Give Me Some Face' ability, forcing nearby others into an immunity judgment.

Ping.

The Five Immortals Sect Saintess secretly glanced at him, nodded slightly, but still showed no goodwill toward Fu Jianhan.

Duncan rarely activates his 'Give Me Some Face' ability, but it proved quite effective.

When his expression turns stern, a powerful aura surrounds him, and a hint of sinister blood gleam appears deep in his pitch-black pupils. That was the aura having permeated his entire being, causing the Five Immortals Sect Saintess to subconsciously feel intimidated, like a little sister being forced into submission.

The Five Immortals Sect was indeed a demonic sect; the Saintess they cultivated couldn't be subdued by ordinary people.

Just as Duncan was about to pull Miss Sun up, she shook her head slightly, simply tapping her toe on the smooth cliff, conquering the vertical angle with ease, and flipped herself up.

Miss Sun smiled mildly, holding a large lingzhi in her arms, perhaps two or three hundred years old, she looked up to the young man and said: "I often went into the mountains to collect herbs with my master in the past."

"I'm already used to traversing cliffs."

When the Five Immortals Sect Saintess saw Miss Sun, she surprisingly greeted her: "Miss Sun, did you come with the Celestial Empress?"

Miss Sun glanced at the girl, frowned slightly and said: "Yu Yaonu, why did you also come in?"

This Five Immortals Sect Saintess, named Lan Cailing, was nicknamed Yu Yaonu.

"Book of Songs - Little Elegance", it is said, 'Mingling has a son, carried by the hive wasp.'

The name was given by the Celestial Empress; it's quite peculiar.

All those close to her fondly called her by the nickname, Yu Yaonu.

The two were somewhat acquainted; after all, within the scope of the Southern Border, there weren't many skilled in medicine; Jianghu people usually wouldn't offend doctors, perhaps someday needing their life-saving help, so Miss Sun's reputation was pretty good in the Southern Border.

Although the Five Immortals Sect counted as a demonic faction, they had some connections with the Medicine King's Heir; from the flourishing Tang Dynasty till today, those studying medicine wouldn't disregard Sun Simiao.

"The spiritual energy here is abundant; there should be plenty of celestial treasures."

Miss Sun researched the large lingzhi in her hands for a moment, looking at the young man beside her and said: "The last recorded occurrence of the Bao Xuan grotto heaven was during the Eastern Han Dynasty and Wei Jin period."

"It's been almost seven or eight hundred years."

"If nothing unexpected were to happen, this grotto heaven blessed land has been untouched for several hundred years."

From the hundred-fathom cliff gazing towards the distance, century-old trees could be seen everywhere; the distant gorge was even more lush and verdant. Dense vines intertwined as if forming a canopy, connecting the trunks of ancient trees, completely shading out the botttom, only allowing glimpses of flowers and plants at the gorge's edge.

This had evolved into a primitive jungle.

Yu Yaonu observed the surroundings with her lively eyes and cautioned: "Miss Sun."

"The grass and trees are lush here, yet there's no sign of human habitation."

"I reckon there are many poisonous creatures and ferocious beasts nearby; you all should be extra careful."

At that moment, Fu Jianhan's voice suddenly sounded: "The corpse below the cliff is gone!"

A few people raised their heads to look below; indeed, there was only a pool of blood on the ground, the person who dozed off after landing was nowhere to be seen, seemingly dragged away by something.

Miss Sun turned to glance at the thoughtful young man and softly asked: "Deng, what should we do next?"

In a moment of impulse, she followed them inside, but now she was quite clueless; she didn't know how many Southern Border experts entered, if they encountered them, a confrontation might be inevitable.

The Medicine King's Heir from Yaowang Valley wasn't good at fighting, but when pushed to the limit, would know some lethal tricks.

"Lu Qiongxi went to the gorge."

The young man stood at the cliff and gazed into the distance, actually expanding his God's point of view to the fullest, he said solemnly: "There seem to be several figures to the south."

"As for the others, I don't know where they are."
