Chapter 1308
Raise Your Head
She never imagined that the scene of her pushing her stepmother into the water was clearly witnessed by her eight-year-old sister, Guo Mengyun, who was hiding behind a tree! And Guo Mengyun kept this secret for more than ten years!
She couldn't even imagine that the younger sister she wanted to make amends to and protect was actually inhabited by the soul of an old monster who had reincarnated for over five hundred years and had a crazy obsession with cultivating immortality!
However, she knew none of this.
At this moment, she only believed her sister's words and was willing to sacrifice herself to make up for her past sins and to escape this painful and desperate world, so as to fulfill her sister's dream of "becoming an immortal".
If... if we could truly ascend together to that ethereal immortal realm, perhaps that would be a kind of liberation?
……
Just as Guo Qian was driving Guo Mengyun to the Yin-Yang Cave in Fengdu, Luo Fei had already boarded the fastest plane to Jiangcheng.
On the plane, he made contacts and arrangements without stopping for a moment. Although Fengdu is nominally under the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng, it is about 150 kilometers away from the main urban area of Jiangcheng, which takes more than an hour by car at the fastest.
He contacted the "Ghost" team's technical support staff in advance—Tianji Meimei.
"Tianji, it's me, Luo Fei. Immediately drive the team's modified Mercedes-Benz G-Class to Jiangcheng Airport, fill it up with gas, and wait for me."
Luo Fei's orders were concise and direct.
"Understood, boss! I'll be there on time!"
Tianji's sister's clear voice came from the other end of the phone, without asking any further questions.
More than an hour later, the plane landed at Jiangcheng Airport.
Luo Fei practically rushed down the gangway and, sure enough, saw the familiar, sharply styled black Mercedes-Benz G-Class at the exit, along with Tianji, who was standing next to the car, dressed in a neat tracksuit, with her hair in a ponytail and a face full of curiosity.
"Boss!"
here!"
Tianji Sister waves.
Without saying a word, Luo Fei opened the driver's side door and got in.
Tianji's younger sister quickly climbed into the passenger seat.
"Boss, what's the rush? What serious incident has happened? In Haizhu..."
After fastening her seatbelt, Tianji couldn't help but ask.
She was unaware of the series of shocking events that followed in Haizhu City.
"No time to explain! Give me directions to the Yin-Yang Cave in Fengdu! Go as fast as you can!"
As Luo Fei fastened his seatbelt, he decisively started the car. The powerful engine let out a deep roar, the tires screeched against the ground, and the car shot off like an arrow.
Luo Fei floored the accelerator, and the modified Mercedes-Benz G-Class unleashed its powerful performance, speeding along the road to Fengdu.
His superb driving skills, coupled with the vehicle's excellent performance, allowed him to compress a 150-kilometer journey that would normally take more than an hour into less than an hour.
Yin Yang Cave is located in a rather remote town on the outskirts of Fengdu Ancient City. It is not even a proper tourist attraction, and navigation cannot directly reach the cave entrance.
Sure enough, Gaode Maps ended its navigation at the end of a country road, indicating that the destination was nearby.
Luo Fei and Tianji quickly got out of the car and looked around. In front of them was a barren hillside, and in the distance were steep cliffs.
An old farmer working in a nearby field looked at the two uninvited guests with curiosity.
"Uncle, could you tell me how to get to the Yin-Yang Cave?"
Luo Fei stepped forward, trying to make his tone sound calm.
The old farmer wiped his sweat with the towel hanging around his neck and pointed to the cliff in front of him.
"Look, it's right below that cliff."
Two young girls just came by asking for directions, saying they were doing some kind of live stream, and they went that way too.
He glanced at Luo Fei and Tianji, and kindly offered a reminder.
"That cave entrance is difficult to descend; it's very steep. You didn't bring any ropes or anything, so you might not be able to get down."
"Thank you, uncle!"
Luo Fei thanked her and immediately walked quickly towards the cliff with Tianji.
Upon reaching the edge of the cliff, sure enough, next to a large protruding rock, they found a professional rappelling rope securely tied to it, with the other end of the rope dangling down into the unfathomable darkness.
"It seems those two 'live streamers' have already left."
Luo Fei's eyes sharpened. He checked the rope's sturdiness, grabbed it without hesitation, and skillfully slid down.
Tianji Sister was not to be outdone, following closely behind.
The two quickly descended to a dark cave entrance halfway down the mountain.
As soon as you get close, you feel a chilling, biting wind rushing out of the cave, and the temperature around you drops several degrees, as if you have instantly gone from early summer to late autumn.
Luo Fei immediately activated his [Super God-level Physique], and the chill instantly became insignificant to him.
He looked at Tianji.
"how do you feel?"
Tianji rubbed her arms, exhaled a puff of white breath, but her eyes were unusually firm.
"It's a bit cold, but I can handle it, boss!"
"Stay close to me!"
Without further hesitation, Luo Fei turned on his powerful flashlight and bent down to crawl into the gloomy cave entrance.
The cave was spacious at first, but after walking only a dozen meters, the path ended, revealing a bottomless, vertical black abyss that exuded an even stronger chill! A rappelling rope hung down from above, sinking into the darkness below.
"I'll go down, you stay upstairs and keep watch..."
Before Luo Fei could finish speaking, he saw Tianji Sister had already nimbly grabbed the rope, her eyes indicating that she would stand with him through thick and thin.
Luo Fei said no more, nodded, grabbed the rope, and slid down first.
The vertical cave was deeper than I had imagined, with slippery, cold rock walls all around. After sliding down about twenty or thirty meters, my feet finally touched solid ground.
Tianji Sister followed closely behind, sliding down with light and graceful movements.
With a powerful flashlight, about the thickness of an eggplant, in her mouth, her hands were freed.
Be careful.
Luo Fei took the flashlight from her mouth, gave her some instructions, and then began to look around.
As the flashlight beam swept across the ground, I discovered a natural platform of about a hundred square meters beneath my feet, with an even deeper and darker passage leading to an unknown destination.
An indescribable sense of antiquity and chill permeated the air.
"Stay close to me."
Luo Fei lowered his voice and took the lead towards the dark passage.
Tianji took a deep breath, tightly gripped Luo Fei's clothes, and followed him step by step.
The passage wound its way through the tunnel, becoming increasingly narrow and colder as one went deeper, until one's breath turned to frost. After walking about a hundred meters, signs of a landslide appeared ahead, with rubble blocking the main passage.
"Boss, there seems to be a small hole over here!"
Tianji, with her sharp eyes, pointed to an inconspicuous crevice on the right rock wall that required bending over to squeeze through.
Luo Fei shone his flashlight in the room and, without hesitation, ducked down and crawled inside.
Tianji Sister followed closely behind.
The passage on this side is even more difficult to navigate; the space is so cramped that in the end, it's almost only wide enough for one person to crawl through.
"Boss... have we reached the end of the road?"
Tianji tugged at Luo Fei's sleeve, her voice muffled in the confined space.
Just then, Luo Fei suddenly stopped what he was doing and whispered.
"Turn off the flashlight."
Tianji Sister did as she was told and turned off the flashlight. In an instant, absolute darkness descended, but in the distance, a faint, firefly-like light shone through!
There's light! There's an exit ahead!
Luo Fei perked up and gestured for Tianji to follow.
The two struggled forward a few more meters, clearing away some vines and rubble blocking the exit, and Luo Fei was the first to squeeze out through a crack.
Suddenly, everything became clear!
He was actually under the dome of an enormous underground space! At a glance, this underground space was even larger than the one under Crane Spring Manor!
In the very center of the space, with the help of the cool white light emitted by a few camping LED energy-saving lamps, one can clearly see an ancient and dilapidated building with blue bricks and gray tiles—a small Taoist temple!
This Taoist temple bears a striking resemblance in structure and style to the Feixian Temple, which was relocated from the underground of Hequan Mountain Villa! It is only older and more dilapidated, as if it has been eroded by countless years!
Luo Fei instantly understood what Master Li meant! Guo Mengyun had indeed imitated this place!
She used the real ancient Taoist temple in the Yin-Yang Cave of Fengdu, located in the most Yin place, as a model, and spent a lot of money and three years to replicate it in the underground of Hequan Mountain Villa!
"My God...where...where is this place?"
The Heavenly Mystery Sister, who emerged afterward, was utterly shocked by the sight before her. She opened her mouth wide, staring in disbelief at the vast underground space and the eerie Taoist temple.
"No time to be surprised, keep up!"
Luo Fei pulled up Tianji, who was still in a daze, and rushed quickly towards the Taoist temple in the center along the steep rock face.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Taoist temple, the mottled wooden door was ajar.
Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Fei kicked it away!
"boom!"
The wooden door slammed against the wall with a loud bang. The interior of the Taoist temple instantly came into view—the space was small, consisting of only a small courtyard and a main hall.
In the open space in front of the main hall, two girls were sitting cross-legged facing each other, with several working LED rechargeable energy-saving lamps placed around them.
It was Guo Mengyun and Guo Qian!
What made Luo Fei's pupils shrink even more was that, under the beam of the flashlight, he could clearly see that there was a thin stream of energy, like blue mist, connecting Guo Mengyun and Guo Qian between their eyebrows!
The blue mist was slowly flowing out from Guo Qian's brow and continuously flowing into Guo Mengyun's brow!
Guo Mengyun is absorbing Guo Qian's soul!
"stop!"
Luo Fei's eyes were bloodshot as he roared and moved like lightning, instantly rushing between the two and mercilessly kicking Guo Mengyun in the shoulder!
"puff!"
Caught off guard, Guo Mengyun was kicked away by the powerful kick and crashed heavily into the pillar behind her. The blue aura connecting the two of them between their eyebrows also broke off!
"what!"
"Um…"
The two sisters made a sound at the same time.
Guo Qian seemed to wake up suddenly from a dream, her eyes filled with confusion and pain, and her body slumped backward.
Guo Mengyun clutched her shoulder, a trickle of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. She looked up at Luo Fei with eyes full of resentment and gnashing hatred!
"Luo Fei! It's you again! Why do you keep ruining my plans?!"
Guo Mengyun's voice was sharp and distorted with anger, completely devoid of its usual purity and gentleness.
Luo Fei ignored her completely, grabbed the limp Guo Qian and pulled her up, glared at Guo Mengyun and scolded her sharply.
"Guo Mengyun! Or rather, Wang Taozhen! How many people have you killed for your illusory dream of cultivating immortality?! Now you're even going after your own sister! Are you even human?!"
However, Guo Qian, whom he had pulled up, suddenly shook off his hand, struggled to stand in front of Guo Mengyun, opened her arms to protect her, and shouted excitedly to Luo Fei.
No! It's not Mengyun's fault!
This was my own choice!
This is between my sister and me! It's none of your business! I'm willing to do anything to help Mengyun!
Luo Fei was both angry and anxious as he looked at Guo Qian, who remained obstinate.
He knew he couldn't reason with brainwashed people, so he stopped wasting words and prepared to knock them out and take them away.
But just then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that tiny, snowflake-like white crystals were falling down from the gaps in the dome of the underground space!
The poison of the Magic Fairy Grass!
Luo Fei instantly recognized it. Clearly, Guo Mengyun had also prepared a backup plan here! However, possessing the [Immune to All Laws] physique, he was completely unconcerned.
Then, something even more unexpected happened.
Guo Mengyun, who was being protected by Guo Qian, looked at Luo Fei, and the resentful expression on her face suddenly changed, revealing a strange and enchanting smile.
Slowly, in front of Luo Fei, she took off her coat, revealing the thin clothes underneath.
Her eyes were glazed over, and her voice carried a strange, seductive power as she spoke to Luo Fei.
"Officer Luo... Luo Fei... as long as you don't stop me today and let my sister and me go... you can do whatever you want to me... I, and my sister... can satisfy you..."
Her voice seemed to have a hook, making it stand out particularly abruptly and eerily in this gloomy environment.
As she spoke, Guo Qian, who was standing next to her, was stunned for a moment, and then a struggle appeared on her face. But it was quickly replaced by a numbness and obedience, and she actually began to move as well.
Even Tianji, who was standing next to Luo Fei, had a moment of dazedness in her eyes, and her hand unconsciously reached for her clothes button.
Luo Fei was stunned by the sudden and absurd scene before him, and his mind went blank for a moment.
Two of the three girls were clearly under deep hypnosis and their minds were controlled, yet they behaved so disgracefully in front of him!
"What...what are you doing! Put your clothes on! What kind of behavior is this!"
Luo Fei was both shocked and furious. He shouted angrily and subconsciously turned his gaze away.
But in that fleeting glimpse, he had to admit that both Tianji's fit physique honed through years of training and Guo Qian's mature and voluptuous curves were indeed quite attractive.
However, he forcibly extinguished this fleeting thought as soon as it arose.
What chilled him to the bone even more was that Tianji's eyes were glazed over, and she clung to his arm like an octopus, murmuring in a voice tinged with tears and strange passion. (End of Chapter)
