Although the Xuanming Old Man suffered severe injuries in the realm of heart demons, he was still a cunning and powerful figure, not fundamentally harmed.
He understood that his strength had significantly diminished at this moment. If he rashly revealed himself, it would be difficult to escape the combined attacks of Ye Qiu and Su Mu.
Thus, he chose to remain hidden in the shadows, like a venomous snake, quietly lying in wait for the right moment to strike and seek revenge.
Ye Qiu and Su Mu were both acutely aware that the Xuanming Old Man would not simply give up.
His heart was filled with resentment and murderous intent; as long as there was a glimmer of opportunity, he would undoubtedly return with vengeance, bringing even greater disaster to Yun City.
To completely eliminate the crisis in Yun City, they needed to find the hiding place of the Xuanming Old Man as soon as possible and uproot this menace.
“Su Mu, what should we do next?” Ye Qiu asked with a serious expression.
Su Mu furrowed his brow, pondering for a moment before replying, “The Xuanming Old Man is skilled in dark arts and his movements are unpredictable. Finding him is indeed not an easy task.”
“What should we do then? We can’t just sit here and wait for him to strike again!” Ye Qiu said anxiously.
Su Mu took a deep breath and slowly said, “However, the Xuanming Old Man is seriously injured this time; he will need time to recover his energy. This period is our best opportunity to search for him.”
Ye Qiu nodded in agreement with Su Mu's assessment.
“Let’s split up,” Su Mu suggested. “I will continue to track the Xuanming Old Man's whereabouts while you focus on protecting the safety of Yun City to prevent him from causing further chaos.”
Ye Qiu hesitated for a moment before saying, "But I'm worried that you might be in danger alone."
Su Mu smiled slightly and reassured him, "Don't worry, I'll be careful. Besides, we don't have a better plan right now."
In the end, Ye Qiu agreed to Su Mu's plan. The two of them agreed to stay in touch and immediately inform each other if they discovered anything.
Following the clues he had previously gathered, Su Mu pressed on relentlessly, enduring countless hardships. Finally, he discovered traces of the Xuanming Old Man in a very secluded cave.
This cave was located at the peak of a steep mountain, surrounded by swirling clouds and mist, rarely visited by anyone.
Inside the cave, it was dark and damp, with dim lighting that made it feel like a corner forgotten by time. The air was thick with a nauseating stench, the smell of death and decay.
Su Mu cautiously stepped into the cave, alertly observing his surroundings.
Suddenly, he caught sight of the Xuanming Old Man.
The Xuanming Old Man was sitting cross-legged on a stone platform, his face as pale as paper and his breath weak like a flickering candle in the wind. It was clear that he was gravely injured.
"Su Mu, you finally came!" When the Xuanming Old Man saw Su Mu appear before him, a glimmer of vengeful light flashed in his eyes—a deep hatred directed at Su Mu. "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Unfazed, Su Mu met the Xuanming Old Man's gaze and shouted sternly, "Xuanming Old Man, your schemes have been exposed; you can't escape! Surrender now!"
However, the Xuanming Old Man ignored Su Mu's warning. He let out a furious roar that echoed through the cave, causing debris from the walls to tumble down.
A surge of dark magic erupted from his palm, resembling a fierce beast, clawing and lunging towards Su Mu.
Seeing this, Su Mu swiftly dodged the attack from the Xuanming Old Man.
The long sword in his hand sliced through the air, emitting a cold gleam as it struck like lightning towards the Xuanming Old Man.
In an instant, the sword light intertwined with the magical energy, creating a series of thunderous sounds that reverberated throughout the cave, shaking it to its core.
A breathtaking battle was about to unfold…
