Chapter 1015: Interrogation (3)
For some unknown reason, uncle Xiang’s body was infected with demonic Qi. It was also because of this trace of demonic Qi that his soul was suppressed by the demonic Qi while his body was severely injured. By chance, he managed to keep his life.
Song qingxiao guessed that it was precisely because of this trace of demonic Qi that was deep in his body and bone marrow that uncle Xiang’s aura was no different from that of a dead person even though he was clearly a living person. He was like a half-dead body, so that when normal people were around him, they would be intimidated by his Yin Qi and not dare to get too close to him.
However, it just so happened that his half-dead characteristic, coupled with the involvement of the demonic Qi, made a certain connection between him and the nine Dragon caves. This was also the reason why he could enter and leave the nine Dragon caves without being harmed.
When uncle Xiang heard what she said, he trembled again.
His lips were tightly pursed, pulling at the tight skin on the left side of his face, making the bone marks on his face even more obvious.
The old man’s single eye flashed with a hint of uneasiness and fear, as well as an indescribable expression.
It was as if a secret that had been hidden for many years had finally been revealed. He avoided his eyes and did not know how to speak for a moment.
Fortunately, song qingxiao did not press the matter. Her question was answered the moment she saw uncle Xiang’s expression.
“Are there really Immortals hiding in the yulun void realm in the nine Dragon cave?” When she stopped asking about the wound, uncle Xiang’s tense expression relaxed a little. But when he heard her continue to ask about the yulun void realm, his breath that had not yet been completely released was instantly held back in his throat.
“Where is the Yu Lun void realm? That’s just a legend spread by the villagers in the countryside.” His voice was dry as he licked his lips and denied it.
“No Yu Lun void realm? What about the people living inside?”
Uncle Xiang’s face grew colder and colder, and the chill from his body seeped out. However, song qingxiao did not seem to care about his cold face or his aura. She asked, ”
“You often enter the nine Dragon cave, so you must be the only one who has had dealings with them, right?”
“There’s no immortal.” Uncle Xiang shook his head again, but when his eyes met song qingxiao’s, he saw that her expression turned cold and murderous intent surged in her eyes.
He had once brushed shoulders with the god of death. At this moment, the feeling of his life hanging by a thread surged up in his heart. It made uncle Xiang shiver all over, as if he had returned to the moment when he had almost lost his life in the nine Dragon cave many years ago. He was once again shrouded in the shadow of death.
His body’s reaction was much faster than his thoughts. Before he could think, he had already said, ”
“The people living inside are just a group of ordinary people who live in seclusion from the world.”
As soon as he finished speaking, song qingxiao’s reaction wasn’t big. Instead, the three young men sitting on the boat took a deep breath.
‘Whoosh!’
Three gasps were heard. After uncle Xiang realized what he had said, a hint of regret flashed in his single eye.
“Uncle Xiang, are there really people living in the nine Dragon cave?” The young man who was talking to song qingxiao earlier shouted in shock.
He was really surprised. The legend of the nine Dragon cave had been circulating for hundreds of years. In the legend, it was a land of vengeful spirits because the Yellow Emperor had killed nine evil Dragons, and ordinary people would die once they entered.
In the past, they had tried to develop it as a tourist destination, but because too many people had died, the matter was put on hold. To this day, the nine Dragon cave was still a mysterious existence in the hearts of the local people.
No one had ever thought that there would be someone living in such a terrifying place!
This news was just too shocking. The young man could almost imagine just how much of a stir it would cause in the Empire if this matter were to spread.
Uncle Xiang’s expression was gloomy. At first, there was a trace of regret in his eyes. Then, that trace of regret turned into confusion, and then into fear. When he looked at song qingxiao again, it was replaced with hatred.
It could be seen that he was originally unwilling to reveal this secret. Now, under song qingxiao’s coercion, he had no choice but to admit that there was someone living in the yulun void realm.
However, after a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind. His expression returned to calmness, and his expression was as wooden as before.
After hearing the young man’s question, he only nodded coldly.
As soon as he nodded in admission, the young men’s reaction became even more intense.
Song qingxiao was not surprised. The nine Dragon cave was related to her mission, so she had expected that there would be ‘people’ inside.
