Chapter 1181 The Nine People and Nine Sects of the Fallen Candle Cave
There are nine palaces in Luowu Ancient City, and nine rivers flow into them. The place where the nine rivers converge is the Dragon Pool below the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion.
There are actually nine tombs of loyal souls in the ancient city of Luowu. Unlike the river, very few people would notice these tombs!
What's amazing is that the nine tombs of loyal souls are located within the nine palaces. The tombs of loyal souls in Xianzhong Tower are relatively conspicuous, while the others are relatively hidden. Some of them are just stone tablets that protrude from the ground, without names or words!
What the world doesn't know is that, like the nine rivers, the nine tombs of loyal souls are interconnected, eventually converging in one place near the Dragon Pool, called the Fallen Candle Cave.
The world is unaware of the name Fallen Candle Cave, let alone its existence, but it is known by another name—Wisteria Mansion!
The Tengluo Mansion is the residence of the Lord of Luowu, and the Fallen Candle Cave is located underground in the Tengluo Mansion.
In reality, the Fallen Candle Cave existed first within the ancient city of Luowu, followed by the Tengluo Mansion. The Tengluo Mansion's purpose was to conceal the existence of the Fallen Candle Cave.
Only one person knows all this: the Lord of Luowu. Even the Northern Meng Ghost Capital is unaware of the existence of the Fallen Candle Cave.
The rain poured down on Luowu Ancient City, and the night was dark and gloomy.
Since nightfall, the Lord of Luowu has been sitting alone in the Fallen Candle Cave, hesitating and pondering whether she should kill the Chosen One tomorrow!
Of all the sorrows in my heart, the hardest to bear is to remain silent!
The Lord of Luowu sat on the rattan chair, staring blankly at the dim candlelight. Although she was Shui Sheng from the Dark Realm, she had two kinds of memories. Strangely, she only had one heart!
"I thought you would come to my birthday banquet so we could meet. I really didn't expect that the young master of the Ji family would also be getting married on the eighth day of the month. Could it be that our princess has already appeared in the world?"
After pondering for half the night, this was the answer she came to: the only possibility that the Ji family's Supreme Elder did not come to Luowu Ancient City to celebrate her birthday, but instead attended the wedding of the Ji family's young master, was that the Ji family's Supreme Elder had something more important to do!
The only thing Lord Luowu could think of was that the Dark Realm Princess, who had been sealed away by the Qingwei Xuannv Sect, had seen the light of day again, but Lord Luowu was really not sure!
Firstly, a thousand years have passed, and she has lost confidence!
Secondly, the letter from the Supreme Elder of the Ji family did not mention the Princess of the Dark Realm at all. Instead, it asked her to kill the Chosen One. This killing intent is really inexplicable!
In reality, the Lord of Luowu herself did not want to kill Shen Yichen; she did not want to disrupt the nearly five-hundred-year-old peace of Luowu Ancient City.
Five hundred years ago, during the storms of Luowu, Ji Xuanfeng broke both of her legs. Now, Ji Xuanfeng's successor has reappeared in the ancient city of Luowu. The Lord of Luowu wants to hide, and she is truly feeling uneasy!
There was another reason why the Lord of Luowu hesitated.
She was tired, weary, and fed up with the struggle between the Dark Realm and the mortal world. Or rather, she had grown accustomed to the peaceful and harmonious life of ruling a city by herself alone.
The Lord of Luowu has been living in seclusion in the world of immortals and heroes for nearly a thousand years. Not only has she become accustomed to everything here, but she has also developed a strange fear in her heart. The strength of the Dark Realm is truly no match for the power of the world of immortals and heroes.
The lifespan of those in the Netherworld is eternal, but this does not equate to their immense power.
Lord Luowu leaned back in his wicker chair, murmuring:
"The chosen one comes from Mount Guanxing, my king. Is he related to you? Are you still alive?"
Lord Luowu truly cannot see what lies behind the Ji family's Supreme Elder's order to kill the Chosen One. A thousand years have passed, and Shen Yichen is the only one who might be related to the King of the Dark Realm!
Lord Luowu even suspected that the Ji Clan Ancestral Hall had a secret weapon after the Shadow Emperor, but since the Shadow Emperor entered the ancient city of Luowu, no one else from the Ji Clan Ancestral Hall has entered the ancient city.
This means that she will be in charge of everything in Luowu Ancient City. The Ji family's Supreme Elder will not be involved in how the Chosen One is killed, but will the Ji family's Supreme Elder really not care whether Shen Yichen lives or dies?
Lord Luowu pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
Inside the Fallen Candle Cave, Lord Luowu pondered for a long time before suddenly opening his eyes.
"Luowu Ancient City belongs to me, and its fate should not be decided by others!"
In the candlelight, Lord Luowu's eyes revealed a mixture of ruthlessness and determination, with nothing but confusion.
The rattan chair moved out of thin air, and the Lord of Luowu entered a secret passage inside the Fallen Candle Cave.
The Fallen Candle Cave has nine secret passages, all leading to the nine tombs of loyal souls within the ancient city of Luowu, which were acquired by the Lord of Luowu over nearly five hundred years.
After the Lord of Luowu had her legs broken by Ji Xuanfeng, she realized that she needed to have her own powerful strength, a strength that could contend with Ji Xuanfeng, and of course, a strength that could protect her ancient city of Luowu!
Within the nine tombs of loyal souls are nine people imprisoned by the Lord of Luowu over nearly five hundred years, people who were completely obedient to her!
All of this was achieved through the Dark Realm Heart within Luo Wu's body.
When Yi Xuan first entered Xianzhong Tower, his Tianxianglong reminded him that there was an aura fluctuation inside the Tomb of Loyal Souls, and it was the aura of a powerful person.
This is also why Yixuan asked Ji Wumo to open the Tomb of Loyal Souls tomorrow. Unfortunately, Yixuan will not be able to see what is inside the Tomb of Loyal Souls, and he will have no chance of getting away tomorrow!
The Fallen Candle Cave was empty again, with only the dim candlelight flickering. The faint sound of flowing water could be heard from the nine secret passages, the sound of the nine rivers in Luowu Ancient City flowing into the Dragon Pool.
When the Lord of Luowu reappeared in the Fallen Candle Cave, there was a person standing at each of the nine secret passage entrances.
The Lord of Luowu looked around, a smile appearing on her weathered face. This was her masterpiece, and she was very satisfied!
"I really don't want the conflicts in the world of immortals and heroes to originate from Luowu, but for the sake of Luowu Ancient City, I have no choice but to instigate turmoil!"
The Lord of Luowu is talking to himself!
"The Xuan Tian Eight Sects and the Xuan Tian Sect have been searching for you for hundreds of years. Tomorrow, they will kill the Chosen One, Shen Yichen, at the Floating Dragon Cave Heaven Pavilion. This is a portrait!"
The Lord of Luowu threw a painting on the ground, then walked out of the Fallen Candle Cave, leaving behind only a cryptic statement!
"Is it better for the chosen one to die, or to live? And for the nine of you, is it better to live, or to die?"
Lord Luowu had no answer in his heart. However, no matter who died, tomorrow's murder had nothing to do with Luowu Ancient City. This was just a joint attack by Yanquan Jianghu against the young master of the Ji family!
The reason is simple: these nine people came from the Xuan Tian Eight Sects and the Xuan Tian Sect, and they were all renowned figures in the Yan Quan Jianghu!
The Lord of Luowu will be watching the show from the sidelines again tomorrow, but her heart is truly bleeding. This is her trump card that she has hidden for five hundred years. It's such a waste to use it to kill Shen Yichen!
After the Lord of Luowu returned to the Tengluo Mansion, the dark night and rain had stopped. She sat on a rattan chair, floated out, and landed on the top of the Tengluo Mansion, gazing at the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion in the dark night.
Much later.
"Pass down the order: tomorrow, the Nine Palaces Guards are not to interfere in the chaos at the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion. Outside the Dragon Pool, there are no private fights within the palaces. Anyone who disobeys this order, no matter who they are, will be killed without mercy!"
Lord Luowu looked up at the dark void, a smile playing on his lips.
"Tomorrow will be a beautiful day. Have a safe trip!"
Lord Luowu flew down, intending to return to Tengluo Mansion. Just as he was about to enter the mansion, Lord Luowu suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of Fulong Cave Heaven Pavilion. The smile on his face disappeared, and his brows furrowed in alarm.
After a moment of contemplation, the Lord of Luowu's rattan chair floated into the air and headed towards the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion.
The Lord of Luowu quickly landed on the roof of the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion. Her expression had returned to normal, but she was still somewhat surprised and nervous inside.
"What brings you two fellow Daoists to Fulong Cave Heaven Pavilion so late at night?"
At the very center of the rooftop of the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion stood two girls, the little girls who had been sniffling the whole way.
The two girls stood back to back, simultaneously turning to look at Lord Luowu.
"Water is naturally still, but waves are created by the wind!"
"The mind is inherently at peace, but thoughts create ripples!"
Upon hearing this, Lord Luowu was startled. He surrounded himself with true energy and looked warily at the two young girls in front of him.
With just one glance, the two girls saw through her schemes and her state of mind. Given her cultivation level, Lord Luowu would not believe that the two girls were speaking casually. Moreover, she couldn't even see through the cultivation levels of the two girls!
How should I put it? It's not that I can't see through it, it's that I can't see it clearly!
In the eyes of the Lord of Luoyang, how could the two girls be ordinary people?
Lord Luowu pondered quickly, and after a moment, exclaimed in surprise:
"Nirvana Spirit Body, who are you people?"
"Hey, you shouldn't have known!"
"Sister, how could she possibly know about the Nirvana Spirit Body? Could she be from the Dark Realm?"
Both girls showed surprise and doubt on their faces at the same time!
The Lord of Luowu was even more shocked. With just one sentence, the two girls guessed that she came from the Dark Realm. She had been careless!
Now we're in a bit of a bind; we can't admit it, but it seems we can't deny it either.
The Lord of Luowu quietly watched the two girls. She guessed where they came from, but she could neither ask nor tell them.
"Sister, it seems there's something wrong with the Six Lines divination again!"
"Oh, sister, do you think his fate changed because of the changes in the six lines, or did his fate change and the six lines went awry?"
The two girls also quietly watched Lord Luowu.
The Lord of Luowu remained calm. Her guess was indeed correct, and these two girls should already know that she was one of the Six Yao!
"Have the two young ladies been to Beimeng Mountain and met him?"
"Yes, old woman, don't be nervous, we're not interested in you!"
"Old woman, don't be afraid, we're very tight-lipped, we won't tell anyone your secret!"
After the two snotty-nosed girls finished speaking, their figures vanished into thin air like dust.
Lord Luowu was not surprised. After a long while, he let out a soft sigh:
"The people from Samsara Valley have shown up. Is Liu Yao really going to return to his position? Shen Yichen, you'd better die in the Floating Dragon Cave Pavilion tomorrow!"
