Chapter 393: Three Hundred and Ninety-Two, Thousand-year-old Stone Bamboo Pith

Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen nodded slightly to each other.

"Do you know each other?" Yuan Yixiu looked at Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen with surprise. Since they knew each other, why hadn’t they teamed up before?

"We have met once." Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen sat down on the spot. Once Wei Lingfeng’s injuries had healed, they had questions to ask him.

Wei Lingfeng closed his eyes and began to circulate his cultivation technique to recover from his injuries. He truly hadn’t expected to encounter Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen again.

Feeling that his injuries had mostly healed, Wei Lingfeng opened his eyes to look at Song Yan Ning and the others, "Weren’t you taking a different path? How did you end up here?" He had seen Song Yan Ning and her group heading down a small path before; could it be that the path was a dead end, and that was why they had returned?

"How did you get injured?" Song Yan Ning did not answer Wei Lingfeng’s question; she was more interested in knowing the reason he was injured. Wei Lingfeng’s cultivation was not weaker than that of Qin Yushen. During this trip into the Spiritual Realm, she had used her divine sense to scan most of the people present, and there were almost none whose cultivation was higher than Wei Lingfeng’s or Qin Yushen’s. Originally, she didn’t plan to use divine sense to scan those people, but since she discovered others were doing it, she naturally did not hesitate.

"My partner and I found a cave up ahead, and inside there was a Level 6 Resounding Spirit Snake. We were no match for it, and if I hadn’t had an Instant Transfer Talisman, I would have perished," Wei Lingfeng said, still somewhat frightened by the memory.

"Take us to have a look," Qin Yushen stood up, stretching out his hand to help Song Yan Ning up from the ground.

Wei Lingfeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I can take you there, but you must not go inside. That Resounding Spirit Snake is truly terrifying."

"We’ll see after we have a look," Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen started walking forward.

Yuan Yixiu hurriedly followed them.

Wei Lingfeng shook his head and sighed, then followed along as well.

Half an hour later, Song Yan Ning and the others arrived at the cave Wei Lingfeng had mentioned.

"We’ll go inside and take a look; you two wait for us outside," said Song Yan Ning to Yuan Yixiu and Wei Lingfeng before she and Qin Yushen stepped into the cave.

Yuan Yixiu wanted to follow, but was held back by Wei Lingfeng, "Don’t go in, your strength will only be a burden to them." If he, with similar cultivation to Qin Yushen, was injured like that, how could Yuan Yixiu going in be any different from courting death?

The cave was pitch black, and the air was filled with a thick stench of blood that made one feel nauseous.

Qin Yushen pulled Song Yan Ning behind him, holding her hand as they slowly moved forward step by step.

A rustling sound started up, as if something was dragging on the ground.

Qin Yushen shielded Song Yan Ning behind him, drew his longsword, and swept his sharp and cold gaze over the dark green Resounding Spirit Snake in front of them. This snake was a Level 6 Demonic Beast, with strength equivalent to a human cultivator in the Mahayana Stage, and he was just short of reaching the Divine Separation Stage; he naturally couldn’t be a match for the Level 6 Resounding Spirit Snake.

The Resounding Spirit Snake looked at Song Yan Ning, its gaze flickering with a hint of surprise.

Song Yan Ning made a contractual hand gesture. With her current strength, she could at most make a contract with a Level 5 Demonic Beast. However, they had to deal with this Resounding Spirit Snake; otherwise, she and Qin Yushen wouldn’t be able to complete their mission. The Thousand-year-old Stone Bamboo Pith they were seeking was inside this cave; she already smelled the aroma mixed in the air.

"You are also a demon beast?" the Resounding Spirit Snake suddenly spoke.

Song Yan Ning gave a slight start, "Yes." When she used the Demon World’s Contractual Technique, the aura of her bloodline would emanate from her body; otherwise, she couldn’t suppress demon beasts stronger than herself.

"Are you a demon beast from the Demon World?" The Resounding Spirit Snake’s malicious aura receded, and it looked at Song Yan Ning with eyes filled with joy.

"Mm," Song Yan Ning nodded.

"Can you take me back to the Demon World?" the Resounding Spirit Snake looked at Song Yan Ning with a face full of expectation.

"Are you also from the Demon World?" Song Yan Ning sized up the Resounding Spirit Snake but didn’t sense the aura of the Demon World on it.

"I am the sixth prince of the Snake Clan. I was stolen by a cultivator before I hatched and was brought here. To which clan do you belong?" The Resounding Spirit Snake had been unable to discern Song Yan Ning’s true form after looking for a long time.

"Nine-tailed Spirit Fox Clan," Song Yan Ning said calmly. There were Ten Great Clans in the Demon World; the Nine-tailed Fox Clan was king, with the Dragon Clan and the Snake Clan as the left and right protectors. Although the two clans were of the same ancestry, the Family Heads of the two clans did not submit to each other.

Besides them, there were also the Tiger Clan, Phoenix Clan, Qilin Clan, Taowu Clan, Chongming Bird Clan, Bifang Clan, and Taotie Clan.

"Then what position do you hold within the Jiuwei Clan?" the Resounding Spirit Snake naturally knew what the Nine-tailed Fox Clan represented in the Demon World.

"I am the Young Prince of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan." Song Yan Ning did not tell the Resounding Spirit Snake about the current situation in the Demon World. Since the other was the sixth prince of the Snake Clan, he could still be useful to her. Perhaps she could use him to return to the Demon World. She didn’t know whether the Snake Clan had also switched sides, but she had to keep the Resounding Spirit Snake under her control.

"Greetings, Young Prince!" The Resounding Spirit Snake released a green glow from its body and transformed into a graceful, handsome young man.

Song Yan Ning stepped forward, her finger lightly touching the Resounding Spirit Snake’s forehead. The light of the contract slowly expanded from between the brows, enveloping the entire being of the Resounding Spirit Snake. She used a life-bound contract; if it had any thoughts of betrayal, its soul would disperse immediately.

"Greetings, Master!" After the contract was completed, the Resounding Spirit Snake kneeled on one knee, offering Song Yan Ning a respectful salute. Only now did it realize that Song Yan Ning’s Divine Soul was a demon soul, but her body was human. If Song Yan Ning hadn’t used the Contractual Technique and leaked her bloodline’s aura, it would have never known that she was a demon beast.

Song Yan Ning smiled and nodded, "Do you have a name?"

"My name is She Tan." His name had been given to him by his mother at birth, but before she could even call him by it, he had been stolen. If he ever encountered the person who stole him, he would surely flay them alive.

Song Yan Ning nodded, tucked She Tan away, and together with Qin Yushen, they walked deeper into the cave.

Yuan Yixiu, seeing no movement inside the cave for a long time, grew increasingly anxious. "No, I have to go in and check."

Wei Lingfeng wanted to stop Yuan Yixiu, but Yuan Yixiu had already entered the cave. Wei Lingfeng could only helplessly shake his head and follow. After all, his life was saved by them as well; if he was to die, they would die together.

Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen reached the bottom of the cave and immediately saw the Thousand-year-old Stone Bamboo Pith. Underneath the Stone Bamboo Pith, in a large stone trough, was already a trough’s worth accumulated.

Song Yan Ning waved her hand, bringing the Stone Bamboo Pith and the stone trough into her space, letting She Tan take out two small portions from the Stone Bamboo Pith. She planned to give them to Wei Lingfeng and Yuan Yixiu. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Yuan Yixiu and Wei Lingfeng walked into the cave, and they were immediately assailed by a strong smell of blood.
