Chapter 15: The Wind Stopped (part 2)
At Godly Tomb Palace Hall, inside the Pillfire Grand Formation.
From Hei Ban's rage, Ju Men could roughly guess what's happened as he suddenly laughed out loud heartily. “Hei Ban, you haven't found it, right? Ha haha haha!”
Hei Ban turned his head around, revealing a malevolent expression as he looked at Ju Men. “Humph, as long as it is still within the Godly Tomb Mountain range, it won't be able to escape. Ju Men, you should be more concerned about yourself. I'm going to see how many more days you can still persevere inside of my Pillfire Grand Formation!”
“If I die then I die. I'm only ashamed to face grandfather. Grandfather gave the pill tiger to me for me to care for it, yet I've lost it. Humph, Hei Ban, do you really think that you've obtained a huge opportunity this time? Heh, haha, I'm telling you, you're digging your own grave. My paternal grandfather is going to take your life for sure, have you turned to bones and ashes, and have your body and soul completely extinguished!” Ju Men's face exposed a malevolent expression as he responded.
“Humph!” Hei Ban harrumphed coldly. He couldn't understand Ju Men at all.
At Wind Valley, there were no more gales, so the Godly Tomb Sect disciples occupied a huge advantage. Hei Ban also no longer paid attention to them. The ninth ranked Heaven's Eye closed in a flash, as he continued to hasten the pill fire in his hand. He wanted to thoroughly burn Ju Men's pride** of tigers.
(**TN: Tigers don't usually group together. Sometimes a female and her cubs are referred to as a 'streak' or 'ambush', but Ju Men is male, so I just used 'pride' like for lions.)
“Sect Head? What's happening with Wang Xiong?” An elder who previously sent news asked inquisitively.
“Go find the pill tiger!” Hei Ban responded in a cold voice.
“Huh?”
“If the pill tiger is not found, you guys should bring your own heads in its stead to see me!” Hei Ban shouted furiously.
“Ah! Yes!” several elders answered and left immediately.
Inside the wind tunnel.
Wang Xiong jumped in and was instantly sucked inside by a stream of air into the deep underground.
The pack of wolves howled endlessly in alarm, because all of the tiger and wolves were as if they were riding a roller coaster, unable to control their own bodies as they shuttled inside at high speeds.
At the deepest depths, the wind seemed to branch out even more, and each appearance challenged the wolf pack's nerves.
What was most frightening was that they still couldn't see the interior clearly, because it was too dark inside. Only Ju Que's eyes could glimpse some indistinct images, but the images that Ju Que saw were even more horrendous such that they made him not dare to budge.
Due to the fact that inside the wind tunnel, the stream of air which bordered the mountain walls flowed in the opposite direction as the wind at the center of the tunnel. One could see with one's eyes that countless numbers of wind blades whistled close to the walls. A little bit of carelessness could result in these wind blades slicing a body into mincemeat.
“Save me!” Regional Princess Qinghuan shouted in fear.
Regional Princess Qinghuan felt as if she was going to die. She was flying. Was it possible to fly underground?
She would never have dared to imagine this previously, yet now, she really was flying at high speeds with her body out of control. Under this terrifying speed, it felt as if she was going to ram into a wall time and time again, as if in the next moment, she was going to die.
This was all that Big Monster Wang's fault.
Was she really going to die?
Abruptly, a long whip suddenly wrapped around Regional Princess Qinghuan and pulled at her.
“Woah!” Regional Princess Qinghuan felt herself slowing down somewhat, as she abruptly bumped onto somebody's chest.
“Ah!” Regional Princess Qinghuan shouted in alarm as before.
“Little Lass, it's not good to be so noisy. We're travelling by following the stream of air. It's very safe!” Wang Xiong's voice instantly sounded.
“Ver... very safe?” Disbelief covered Regional Princess Qinghuan's face.
But there was now an additional person by her side, so Regional Princess Qinghuan's fright was reduced a bit.
“Ok, give the little tiger to me!” Wang Xiong stretched his hand towards Regional Princess Qinghuan's bosom to take away the little tiger.
The little tiger withdrew into Qinghuan's bosom as Wang Xiong reached out his hand to grab it. His arm inevitably rubbed against Qinghuan's chest.
“What are you doing!” Regional Princess Qinghuan immediately yelled out in alarm.
Wang Xiong didn't feel at all that he wasn't careful enough. Instead, he felt that Qinghuan was being too squeamish.
“Be quiet!” Wang Xiong knit his brows in reply.
“You........!” Qinghuan's complexion immediately turned red. Her face was filled with indignance as she glared at Wang Xiong.
Ever since she was small, her chest had never been touched by anyone, yet this big monster Wang before her not only touched this forbidden region of hers, he even showed a face full of innocence and yelled at her. How could Regional Princess Qinghuan not get angry. However, nothing would come of it even if she became angrier. She was currently the same as a prisoner.
Regional Princess Qinghuan could only suffer the huge grievance in silence.
“Grrrrr!” Once the little tiger was embraced by Wang Xiong, it actually suddenly felt a burst of security.
Wang Xiong hugged the little tiger and looked towards the pitch-black wind passageway. The tigers and wolves gradually settled down. Although they were as frightened as before, it was useless for them to be alarmed. Their high-speed flying descent alone took them two hours.
All of a sudden, in the distance, a beam of light appeared.
“Beam of light? We can leave now. The Godly Tomb Flower should be near!” Wang Xiong's eyes shined.
However, just at this time, the wind force which had been moving everyone suddenly lessened. Once the wind force was reduced, everyone's flying became slower.
“Can we leave now? I saw a beam of light!” Ju Que was suddenly pleasantly surprised as he yelled out.
“Awoo awoo awoo!” The pack of wolves suddenly howled excitedly.
However, only Wang Xiong, after he felt pleasantly surprised, his complexion suddenly became ugly.
“Not good, without enough wind power, we can't leave!” Wang Xiong's complexion changed.
“What do you mean we can't leave?” Regional Princess Qinghuan held back her anger as she asked.
“Blame Ying Sheng. If it were not for him and his men, we wouldn't have missed the optimal timing. The timing of the airflow inside the wind tunnel changes and we were a little late. We're probably going to be sent by the airstream to another place!” Wang Xiong's complexion became unsightly.
“Another place?” Qinghuan exposed a confused expression.
Sure enough, the speed at which everyone was flying slowed down, so much so that Yu Jin, who was at the very front, already came to a stop.
It's still fine for him to stop. After all, the tunnel entrance wasn't far away, so he could run out. However, the place that Yu Jin stopped at just happened to be a crossroad for the wind tunnels. The original wind current stopped, but a gale at the crossroad coming from another direction was actually whistling and whizzing by.
“Woah!”
Around the bend, Yu Jin was blown into another passageway.
Not only Yu Jin. All of the other wolves also met the same fate. Once they flew to the crossroads, they were suddenly blown towards another turn.
The wolf pack and Ju Que cried out endlessly. With Wang Xiong by her side, Qinghuan actually fared a bit better. Nevertheless, Wang Xiong's complexion turned unsightly as he unceasingly calculated where the wind passageways were sending him.
After flying once more for the amount of time it took to burn an incense, they finally arrived at their destination.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”..............
One after another, the wolves from the wolf pack in front of them fell into a large cave.
“We’ve finally stopped?” Ju Que shouted delightedly.
No matter where they were, at least they’d finally stopped.
They no longer had to continue looking at frightening wind blades around them.
A large, dark cavern.
Totally pitch-black, where nothing was visible.
Wang Xiong hugged the little tiger. Regional Princess Qinghuan also fell into the black underground cavern.
“Ouch!” Regional Princess Qinghuan’s butt felt extremely pained from the fall.
“It’s so dark here, so cold! When I fell earlier, it seems I’ve stepped on a ball and fell. Did the ball roll somewhere?” Regional Princess Qinghuan wondered as she pushed herself to stand up.
“There’s demonic Yin energy here?” Wang Xiong’s complexion suddenly darkened.
“Where’s the group of tigers and wolves? How come I don’t hear any sounds from them? Didn’t they just drop in here earlier?” Regional Princess Qinghuan wondered as she tried to see through the darkness.
Yu Jin, Ju Que suddenly seemed as if they’d become mute and no longer talked. It seemed as if the wolf pack had been devoured by the dark. It was extremely quiet all around them.
“How, how’s that possible. Where are the tigers and wolves? Where are they?” Qinghuan asked in fear.
There wasn’t the slightest bit of sound. It seemed as if all of the tigers and wolves disappeared.
The crucial point was that it was too dark here, completely pitch-black. Nothing was visible. Qinghuan felt incomparably frightened. If it were not for the fact that when she stepped back, she bumped into Wang Xiong’s chest, she would’ve already been scared enough to cry by now.
“Big Devil Wang…….I mean Wang Xiong, are the tigers and wolves gone? How did they disappear? Weren’t they still around just now?” Qinghuan spoke with a trace of fear.
“Don’t move!” Wang Xiong suddenly shouted.
“What?” Qinghuan asked in confusion.
“There’s something abnormal about this place. According to my calculations, the place we’re at right now should be exactly at the center Godly Tomb Mountain and at the deepest area! And right above us should be the Godly Tomb Flower. It’s not cold here. Rather, there is a great amount of demonic Yin energy here. Remember, don’t absorb the demonic yin energy. Otherwise, you won’t be able to resist it!” Wang Xiong lowered his voice as he spoke.
“Oh!” Qinghuan nodded her head.
Regional Princess Qinghuan was a bit grateful for Wang Xiong’s knowledge, but it was quickly drowned by the indignance that was in her heart.
“I have a night pearl here. I’m going to take a look at what’s inside this cavern!” Qinghuan turned her hand and took out a small ball sized pearl.
The pearl radiated a dazzling green light, and the green light instantly illuminated a scene of the two of them standing next to each other in the cavern.
The moment the little tiger saw this scene, it chuffed, then withdrew in alarm into Wang Xiong’s embrace.
Holding the night pearl, Qinghuan also saw everything around her clearly. The moment that she saw, she was so scared that the hair on her head exploded and stood erect.
“AAHHHHHHH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!” She screamed sharply in fear, her scream echoing inside the cavern was similar to the sound of a thunderclap exploding then echoing.
Her scream was enough for Wang Xiong’s eardrums to burst with extreme pain.
