The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun.

There's no room left.

He had brought all the explosives stored inside the door, originally intending to surprise Ren Woxing, but now he was using them here.

Upon hearing Master Chongxu's words, everyone felt a pang of regret. Yue Buqun pondered and said, "It's alright. I will send someone back to Luzhou Prefecture to ask the prefect if there is any explosives. If there are, we will transport them immediately. Even if there aren't, it's fine. It will just take a little more time."

Yue Buqun then sent men back to Luzhou Prefecture. At this time, the smoke attack at the cave entrance continued day and night. If there were no food supplies inside the cave, it would be breached in three days at most.

At this time, groups of martial arts practitioners took turns fanning the smoke into the cave, and many people brought wet firewood and other materials to add to it. The process was almost nonstop, and most of the thick smoke was fanned into the cave, but a small amount of smoke was still outside.

"Oh my god, I can't open my eyes."

A man was vigorously fanning himself while squinting, tears streaming down his face.

"Change players, change players, it's not working."

His eyes were really sore, so the man immediately asked someone to take his place and then went to rest.

The cave was now filled with smoke, and most of the cave was shrouded in smoke. Many members of the demonic sect were coughing incessantly while covering their mouths, and some even had blood seeping from their noses and mouths, with blood seeping from their eyes. They looked quite frightening.

"It's been so long, why hasn't Sang San Niang made a move yet?"

An elder couldn't help but speak up.

Inside the cave, they were unaware of the changing day and night outside, but they estimated that at least a night had passed. However, they still did not hear any sounds of fighting outside. Instead, the poisonous smoke grew thicker and thicker, which made them, who were hiding inside the cave, very irritable.

"Could something have happened to Sang San Niang?"

Elder Qiu remained calm and asked the question.

Something happened?

Everyone looked at each other.

In fact, since Sang San Niang hadn't made any move or come to their rescue for so long, they already had a bad feeling. However, they didn't want to think about it, because if something happened to Sang San Niang, then they would definitely die.

But now that the elder had pointed it out, the hearts of the elders sank to the bottom.

Elder Ge couldn't help but glance around.

They were currently in the deepest part of the cave, a place that was not yet covered by poisonous smoke and was relatively safe. However, the situation was not so good for the other members of the Demonic Cult on the outer perimeter. The area around them was filled with poisonous smoke, and coughing and spitting blood were commonplace. Some had even gone insane and were swinging weapons around, accidentally injuring many people.

Seeing the devastation inside the cave, Elder Ge's spirits sank to the bottom.

Given the current situation, they probably won't be able to hold out until Sang San Niang arrives to provide assistance. Even if they survive, when they return to Ren Woxing, given the mission's failure, Ren Woxing will not let them off the hook.

"Cough, cough, cough."

An elder couldn't help but cough.

The toxic fumes were getting a little closer to them.

……

Outside the cave.

Moonlight descends.

A day passed, and Jiang Ning, who was stationed at the foot of the mountain, did not see any movement from the Demonic Sect; on the contrary, it was very quiet.

"Ning Yanwang" (a derogatory term for a powerful figure).

A man returned and reported to Jiang Ning, "We have thoroughly searched the surrounding area and found no trace of the Demonic Sect."

Jiang Ning frowned upon hearing this, then nodded: "Thank you, brothers. Go and rest."

After the others left, Jiang Ning fell into thought.

He had been on high alert for the sudden appearance of the Demonic Cult and had been sending people to patrol and search for traces of the Demonic Cult at the foot of the mountain, but he had not found the thousands of Demonic Cult members that the three Demonic Cult members had mentioned. They seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Jiangning had no clue about the 'disappearance' of its thousands of people, but it did not let its guard down and continued to maintain its current level of vigilance.

……

"No! We can't just sit here and wait to die!"

Elder Ge raised his eyebrows and said.

The other elders turned to look at him.

"Elder Ge, what you mean is..."

"Charge out!"

Elder Ge's words were firm and resolute.

"Fight their way out?"

Elder Qiu, who was also one of the original ten elders, frowned upon hearing this.

"But the cave entrance is blocked, and there are top righteous experts like Jiang Ning, Yue Buqun, and Fang Zheng outside. Can we defeat them?"

Now their demonic cult members are almost completely afflicted by the poisonous smoke, not to mention they were no match for them to begin with, going out would only mean certain death.

"There's still no word from Sang San Niang outside, we can't count on her anymore."

Elder Ge was very resolute.

"Yue Buqun is still releasing poisonous smoke without stopping. It won't be long before the cave is completely covered by poisonous smoke. At that time, it will be even more impossible for us to fight our way out."

Hesitation will only lead to chaos. Continuing like this will only lead to death. Elder Ge must take a gamble.

"This……"

The other elders, including Elder Qiu, were still somewhat hesitant, so Elder Ge, seeing their expressions, simply spoke frankly.

"Everyone, the leader ordered us to come here to ambush the righteous path, but now we are trapped in the cave. Before the righteous path has even truly attacked, many of us have already died, and we even have to wait for rescue. We may even need the leader to come to rescue us personally. Whether we can be rescued or not is another matter. Even if we survive, how are we supposed to face the leader?"

Elder Ge, observing their expressions, continued, "At that time, I will certainly take full responsibility, but do you all think you'll be alright? Will the sect leader let you off the hook?"

Upon hearing Elder Ge's words, the elders fell silent.

They knew that Ren Woxing, with his personality, would definitely not let them go.

After a while.

"Fight your way out! Fight your way through!"

Elder Qiu gritted his teeth and said.

The other elders echoed this sentiment.

……

"Keep it up!"

The man fanning the air at the cave entrance shouted loudly as he fanned himself.

"Smoke you demonic cultists to death."

Just as the man was fanning himself vigorously, a commotion suddenly came from inside the cave. Before he could react, the wet firewood and other materials blocking the cave entrance were broken through.

"Ok?"

The man was startled, and before he could speak, a shout of killing came from inside.

"kill!"

A figure rushed out swiftly, raised his sword, and slashed, cutting the man in half at the waist. It was one of the elders.

The elder led the charge, and a large group of demonic cultists filed out of the cave, engaging in battle with the surrounding martial arts practitioners.

"Ok?"

Yue Buqun, who was talking with several other sect leaders not far away, was taken aback by what he saw. He did not expect that the demonic sect inside the cave would actually dare to come out and fight.

But Yue Buqun quickly reacted, his expression changed, and he immediately drew his sword, leaped forward with his toes, and shouted.

"Kill the enemy!"

Chapter 713: The Palm-Breaking Style

The two sides quickly engaged in battle.

call out!call out!

The elder, who was engaged in the battle, had a ferocious expression and had killed several more people. Seeing his arrogance, Yue Buqun went straight for him.

At the same time, Tianmen Daoist and Qingzhu Shita and others were also heading towards him.

Upon realizing that several experts were targeting him, the elder's expression changed slightly, and he quickly called for the other elders to return to the cave.

"If you don't make a move now, when will you?"

As soon as the elder finished speaking, several more figures rushed out of the cave. They were Elder Qiu and several other elders, but Elder Ge was nowhere to be seen.

The two sides quickly clashed. Tianmen Daoist fought with one of the elders, while Qingzhu Shita fought two against one. The elder who had rushed out earlier unsurprisingly faced Yue Buqun.

"Humph!"

Yue Buqun snorted coldly and thrust his sword forward, unleashing the deadly Three Immortal Swords Strike.

The elder recognized Yue Buqun and knew that there was a significant difference in their martial arts skills. He was no match for Yue Buqun. His expression changed drastically, and he dared not take the attack head-on. He quickly retreated four or five steps while glancing around.

Where is Elder Ge? Why haven't I seen Elder Ge?

Among them, only Elder Ge's martial arts skills are currently sufficient to temporarily fight Yue Buqun, but Elder Ge is nowhere to be seen at this moment.

Yue Buqun gave him no chance to think. Seeing him retreat, he immediately took a step forward and slashed horizontally at the waist. The intense killing intent made the elder's heart pound wildly. Before he could think about why Elder Ge had not appeared, the elder quickly dodged, but was still nearly disemboweled by Yue Buqun's horizontal slash.

puff!

A sharp pain shot through his abdomen, and the elder's face turned ashen. He looked down at his wound; although Yue Buqun hadn't cleaved him in two with a single sword strike, his abdomen was still cut open, and blood was seeping from the wound.

Just then, a figure rushed out of the cave and fled outside with lightning speed.

This person is none other than Elder Ge!

Elder Ge, save me!

Upon seeing Elder Ge, the elder hurriedly called out, but the next second he saw Elder Ge running away without stopping, ignoring his cries for help. The elder of the demonic sect's eyes widened in disbelief.

At this moment, Yue Buqun had already leaped behind him and killed him with a single sword strike.

This elder of the demonic sect never understood why Elder Ge didn't save him, even until his death.
