Within the Sky Demon Marten Clan.
"What?"
Wu Zhong, standing nearby, had a look of shock on his face, clearly startled by Little Marten's deduction.
Lin Dong's expression remained unchanged, evidently aware of Little Marten's plan.
"Normally, some of the old geezers in the Sky Demon Marten Clan often go into seclusion for hundreds of years at a time. Looking at it that way, my father's seclusion doesn't seem to have any issues, which is why even some of the other elders didn't think much of it. But after I returned, I tried to approach the Sky Cave, only to be stopped by two elders."
"Those two elders belong to Hao Jiuyou's faction."
"Not allowing entry into the Sky Cave, perhaps they don't want you to disturb the people inside who are in seclusion," Wu Zhong said hesitantly.
"That makes sense, but not long ago, the Natal Blood Feather my father left me gradually changed," Little Marten said, extending his slender palm. In his palm lay a blood-colored feather.
That feather had become extremely dim, and the vital energy fluctuations swirling around it were also weakening.
As the blood light surged, two extremely obscure characters formed: "Demon Prison."
Seeing those two words, Wu Zhong, who was nearby, looked somewhat bewildered, while Lin Yun narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It seems you, like Lin Dong, know what this is," Little Marten said, looking at Lin Yun's expression.
Lin Yun nodded and said, "Yes, the Demon Prison is a mysterious organization formed by Otherworldly Demons. They are the most terrifying force in this world."
"There should be more than just Hao Jiuyou colluding with them within your Sky Demon Marten Clan, otherwise it would be impossible to achieve this level without anyone knowing."
Hearing his words, Wu Zhong immediately said with a face full of killing intent, "I'll go kill those bastards!"
Just as he stood up, he was stopped by Little Marten's reprimand. "What we're saying now are just deductions. How are you going to kill him? And besides Hao Jiuyou, do you know who else to kill?"
"But... what do we do now?" Wu Zhong asked, clenching his fists.
Little Marten's gaze turned towards Lin Yun, "We can only rely on you."
Lin Yun nodded, then said to Little Marten, "You help me create a diversion, and I'll go in and investigate. As long as we rescue your father, the current situation can be reversed."
After speaking, he looked at Lin Dong again, "During this time, observe who among Hao Jiuyou's people has an aura that you feel is problematic. Record them and prepare in advance."
Lin Dong nodded upon hearing this.
Then he turned his gaze back to Little Marten, "Without further delay, let's go now."
Little Marten nodded and immediately disappeared from the spot with Lin Yun.
The Sky Cave of the Sky Demon Marten Clan is generally strictly forbidden for clan members to enter. To enter, one must also obtain approval from the Elder Council.
For Lin Yun to enter, taking this path was definitely not feasible.
In the deepest part of the mountain range, a vast mountain range of ten thousand ren stood tall, and at the convergence of these mountain ranges, there was a dark, bottomless giant cave, about a thousand zhang wide.
Looking from afar, it resembled a dark, ferocious mouth, and any living being that entered would be swallowed by that darkness.
At this moment, above the dark giant cave, some ancient light runes were floating. These runes were connected together, like a barrier, sealing off this dark giant cave.
And on some of the peaks outside this dark giant cave, several aged figures were seated.
Their eyes were tightly closed, like old monks in meditation, but on their bodies, there were Origin Power fluctuations as turbulent as the sea. These were the guardians of the Sky Cave of the Sky Demon Marten Clan.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a figure flashed like lightning, instantly breaking the original stillness.
The seated figures all opened their eyes, frowning slightly as they looked at the somewhat familiar figure.
"A'Diao, the area near the Sky Cave is forbidden. You should leave quickly," an old man with white eyebrows on that mountain peak said to the figure.
"My father hasn't come out of seclusion for a hundred years. I need to go in and find out what's going on!" Little Marten said, his sharp gaze fixed on the bottomless Sky Cave.
After speaking, his figure moved, directly transforming into a ray of light and sweeping towards the Sky Cave.
"Stop him!" The white-browed old man's face turned slightly angry upon seeing this, and he immediately shouted.
"Boom!"
Five figures simultaneously shot out, vast Origin Power surging, sweeping towards Little Marten without hesitation.
"Hmph!"
Seeing the fierce offensive coming, Little Marten's eyes darkened slightly. He extended his palm, and a thousand-zhang crescent moon condensed from purple-black light in his palm. Then, the crescent moon swept across, actually splitting the surging waves apart.
Seeing their attack forced back, the five guardians didn't hesitate. Their figures moved, appearing in front of Little Marten, forming a formation. Vast Origin Power surged out, transforming into a light array that directly enveloped Little Marten.
Little Marten also held nothing back at this moment, erupting with full force.
The violent Origin Power caused gusts of wind, making this quiet mountain range extremely chaotic.
"A'Diao, stop messing around. If the Elder Council finds out about this, you'll likely be reprimanded. Go back. Not only is the old clan leader in seclusion in this Sky Cave, but there are also some extremely old figures from the clan. If you disturb them, it could be troublesome."
As they were speaking, a crack appeared at the edge of the Sky Cave, and then a figure instantly swept into it.
Just as this figure swept into it, Little Marten's tense body relaxed, and the Origin Power that had been surging also retracted into his body.
Seeing his appearance, the white-browed old man also breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand.
"A'Diao, go back."
Little Marten took a deep look at the dark Sky Cave, said no more, turned around and swept out, quickly disappearing.
Lin Yun, who had entered the Sky Cave, was surveying his surroundings, this unfamiliar scene.
Earlier, using the chaos created by Little Marten, he had seized the opportunity to sneak into the sealed Sky Cave.
This was the best way to get in. Although with his current strength, the guys outside couldn't stop him either, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble and make Little Marten more passive, which was not what he wanted to see.
Looking at the completely dark Sky Cave, Lin Yun frowned slightly, "The darkness in this Sky Cave actually makes it impossible to sense direction."
After a moment of thought, he found a method. He activated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, took out the Natal Blood Feather of Little Marten's father, and began sensing.
After about ten breaths, a smile appeared on Lin Yun's face.
"It should be in that direction."
After muttering to himself, he wrapped his entire body in the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art and headed into the cave.
There was no light at all in the darkness, but under the effect of the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, Lin Yun was able to perceive the surrounding scene.
Thus, it lasted for a full quarter of an hour before his footsteps suddenly paused.
"The blood feather has a little light, it should be here."
