DEMI GODS AND SEMI DEVILS BOOK 4 OF 5 (SONG OF THE CAVE IMMORTAL) by Jin Yong

Enduring Anarchy, or Apocalypse Part 4

They six of them turn around, they walk a few steps but suddenly a faint voice transmit from the ground: "Since you know demonic people are gathering here, you people are a bunch of lousy demons and ghosts, why don't you join in the fun?" the voice is suddenly high-pitch and suddenly low-pitch, it seems to break yet continuous, its extremely uncomfortable when they hear it, but they heard every single word clearly.

Murong Fu snorted, the other party already overheard Bao BuTong when he say 'Demonic people are gathering here', from the voice transmitted, the internal energy of the person is not shallow, but its also not first-class martial arts. Murong Fu wave his left hand and said: "No time to tangle with him just ignore him!" he retrace the route which they took to get here.

The voice said: "Little bastard, you dare to spout nonsense, you think you can simply wag your tail and run away? If you really want to run away you still have to kowtow 300 times before your ancestor before leaving."

Feng BoE cannot restrain himself anymore, he halted and said in a low voice: "Young master, let me go teach that wild person a lesson." Murong Fu shakes his head and said: "They don't know who we are, just ignore them!" Feng BoE said: "Yes!"

The six of them walk another 10 steps, the voice said again: "It doesn't matter if the male wants to run away, but this young chick have to stay and accompany your ancestor and relieve my boredom."

Unexpectedly the person dare to humiliate Wang YuYan, their countenance changed, they stop moving and turn around.

The voice said again: "Why? Obediently offer that chick to avoid your ancestor......." as he said the word 'ancestor', Deng BaiChuan gather his energy into his dantian and shouted: "Ancestor!" both their voice intermix and shook the valley. Everyone felt their eardrum humming, but they heard a miserable cry, its came from around the green light. The night is quiet, Deng BaiChuan's voice still lingered and did not disappear and intermix with the miserable cry, everyone felt absolutely horrified.

This shout from Deng BaiChuan used high-level internal energy to injure the other party. From the person's miserable cry, the injury is not minor, maybe he is about to die. The miserable cry stopped, but they heard a 'Chi' sound, a green fire rocket flew to the sky and exploded, half the sky turn dark green.

Feng BoE said: "Since we started it, we must carry it through, let us wipe out the nest of demons and ghosts!" Murong Fu nod his head and said: "Originally we wanted to maintain peace by yielding to them. But since we started it, let us just finish it till the end." The six of them rush towards the green light.

Murong Fu is worried that Wang YuYan might be at a disadvantage, he slow down and stay beside her, he heard Bao BuTong and FengBoE shouting and cursing, both of them started fighting with the other party.Immediately after, under the glimmer of the green light, three shadow flew up,'Pai Pai Pai' three sound and the shadow smash against the mountain wall,apparently they have been finish off by Bao BuTong and Feng BoE.

Murong Fu rush towards the green light, he saw Deng BaiChuan and GongYe Gan standing beside a huge bronze cauldron, their expression solemn. An elderly man is lying beside the bronze cauldron, smoke is rising from the cauldron, the smoke is fine like a line but straight like an arrow. Wang YuYan said: "Its Western Sichuan Jade Rock Cave, the sect of Mulberry Soil Elder." Deng BaiChuan nod his head and said: "Miss you are indeed extremely knowledgeable." BaoBuTong turn around and said: "How you know? This burning of fire to transmit information, its exists several thousand years ago, it might not be Western Sichuan Jade Rock Cave...." he did not finish as GongYe Gan pointed at the base of the bronze cauldron, hinting him to look closer.

Bao Butong bent his waist and look, the legs of the cauldron is emblazon with the word 'Mulberry', the word is formed by the shape of a few snake and centipede, the bronze is brightly coloured, it seems to be an ancient artefact. Bao BuTong knew that Wang YuYan is correct, but he still want to debate: "Even if this bronze cauldron is from Mulberry Soil Elder and his sect, how you know they didn't borrow it or steal it? Moreover there is a common saying: 'False cauldron, counterfeit and fake', nine out of ten cauldrons are fake."

Murong Fu and the rest thought: "This place is very far from Western Sichuan,don't tell me this is the territory of Mulberry Soil Elder and his sect?" They knew that Western Sichuan Jade Rock Cave Mulberry Soil Elder and his sect are mostly Miao and Qiang ethnic people, their conduct are different from martial artists of Central Plains, they are experts at poison and everyone is rather afraid of them, luckily they are detach from worldly affairs, as long as one do not intrude the borders of Sichuan they will not rashly offend people. MurongFu, Deng BaiChuan and the rest are not afraid of the Mulberry Soil Elder, they just find that its boring to feud with demonic and poisonous freaks, more over its very troublesome to tangle with them.

Murong Fu muttered softly to himself: "This is a wrong place to be in, its best to leave as soon as possible." The elderly man lying beside cauldron is breathing faintly but his pair of eyes are staring angrily at them, this man is the person who taunted them. Murong Fu nod his head towards Bao BuTong, the corner of his mouth signalling at the elderly man. Bao BuTong understood his intentions, he grab the bamboo pole with the green lamp, he flip the pole, with a 'Pu' sound he thrust the pole and lamp into the chest of the old man, the green light die out immediately. Wang YuYan cry out in alarm. GongYe Gan said:"The nobleman does not care about trivial matter, a great man have to be ruthless! This is called silencing a person to avoid future disaster." His right foot flew out and toppled the cauldron with a kick. Murong Fu held onto WangYuYan's hand, he dash to the left.

They ran around 10 zhang, suddenly there is two 'Chi Chi' sound, a golden blade split the air, a knife and a sword came out from the bushes and chop towards them. Murong Fu wave his sleeves, his borrowed and redirected the force, the knife held by the person on the left chop towards the head of the person on the right, the sword held by the person on the right pierce the heart of the person on the left, in a split second Murong Fu finish off two person who made the sneak attack, his footsteps did not slow down the slightest bit. GongYe Gan praised: "Young master, excellent skill!"

Murong Fu smiled and continued travelling, he wave his right palm and hit an enemy head-on and send him rolling down the hill, he strike out his left palm,the enemy of his left cry out loudly and spurted fresh blood. Murong Fu suddenly detected a fishy smell, immediately after a fierce wind assaulted him,Murong Fu quickly generate his palm wind and reflected two unknown hidden projectile, he heard an 'Ah' cry, his enemies had been hit by their own vicious hidden projectiles.

They are heavily surrounded in the darkness, they don't know the number of enemies and they simply killed a few people, when they killed the 6th person,Murong Fu was secretly fearful, he thought: "The first three people are most likely from Western SiChuan Mulberry Soil Elder's Sect, but afterwards the other three people came from three different sect, we are making more and more enemies, this is really not good."

He heard Deng BaiChuan shout: "Everyone rush towards the 'Listening Perfume Pavilion'!" the 'Listening Perfume Pavilion' is a manor at Gusu Murong's Basin of Swallow, its located at the west and is the residence of AhZhu. DengBaiChuan asking them to rush towards the 'Listening Perfume Pavilion', its the same as asking them to retreat west, he coded the message to avoid letting the enemy know about their movement.

When Murong Fu listen to his words he immediately understood the meaning, but the surrounding is pitch-black and there is no light from the moon and stars,its difficult to determine direction, he focused his attention, he heard DengBaiChuan's heavy palm wind ringing two times behind him to the right-hand side,immediately he held onto Wang YuYan's hand and retreated three steps and lean against Deng BaiChuan. He heard another two 'Pa Pa' sound, Deng BaiChuan clash palm two times with the enemy again. From the sound generated by the clashing of palm, the enemy is an expert. Immediately afterward, Deng BaiChuan exhale and shouted 'Hei'. Murong Fu knew Deng BaiChuan is using the move [EarthShattering Shock], the enemy will not be able to resist it. Sure enough, the person cry out in surprise, the voice sharp, but the cry seems to be sinking downwards underground, immediately afterward stones roll around and branches snapped. Murong Fu was slightly alarmed: "This person trip and fell into deep ravine. Luckily elder brother Deng hit the person into the ravine, else if we step empty air in this darkness it would be disastrous."

At this moment, a voice floated down from a high slope to the left: "Which experts came to disturb the Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals? You really don't respect the Cave-masters of 36 Cave and Island-masters of 72 Island?"

Murong Fu and the rest gasp softly. They know about 'Cave-masters of 36 Cave and Island-masters of 72 Island', but all these 'Cave-masters' and'Island-masters' are just some heretic groups that don't belong to any sect or school. Some of their martial arts are high, some are low, some are good while some are evil, they keep to themselves and do whatever they please, they don't communicate with each other and thus they can't do anything great, nobody thinks they are important. Some of them are scattered around East Sea, some at islands around Yellow Sea, some at Kunlun and living in seclusion at deep mountains in Qilian, they lie low and did not have any accomplishments, nobody paid any attention to them, unexpectedly they gathered at this place.
