The Bamboo Slip's Sequel, the Hidden Cave

The Red Scorpion Clan was defeated.

Luo Wuchen Uncle Qi naturally wouldn't linger there, and they stepped out of the cave one after the other.

Before leaving, Luo Wuchen gave Chen Ning a deep look, a hint of resentment flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Chen Ning gently stroked the Wind-Chanting Immortal Zither, sensing that this Divine Artifact was indeed extraordinary, even though it was only Lower Divine Artifact.

But it is still incredibly powerful.

Without this Divine Artifact, killing that Great Saint Middle Stage Red Scorpion Clan expert would probably not have been so easy.

It will definitely be a tough battle.

Nalan Yao smiled and said, "Congratulations, my husband! The Wind-Chanting Immortal Zither is like a tiger with wings in your hands."

Chen Ning looked at her and said, "This Wind-Chanting Immortal Zither is Divine Artifact. You also cultivate the Great Dao of Music. Haven't you thought about keeping it for yourself?"

"Everything revolves around my husband."

Nalan Yao hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Chen Ning smiled and said, "Alright, whether it's sincere or not, you've helped me this time and found such a treasure. You should keep this guidance left to you by my ancestor."

Upon hearing this...

Nalan Yao's beautiful eyes lit up, and she quickly took the bamboo slip that Chen Ning handed over.

This bamboo slip was actually the result of Chen Ning's use of his Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils ability when he was watching Nalan Yao copy his legendary musical score.

This allows you to record the information.

Under the cover of the Heaven-Swallowing Bag, it was carved at lightning speed.

Now.

The seal marks were still very fresh, which made Nalan Yao even more convinced that the old leader had not directly engraved his guidance to them on bamboo slips, but had passed it on to the new leader in another form.

Chen Ning then looked at Old Man Yang and said, "Elder Yang, you've worked hard too."

"Serving the leader is my duty!"

The Old Man Yang spoke respectfully.

Nalan Yao did not rush to unfold the bamboo slips, but instead glanced at the Old Man Yang with a faint look.

He secretly harbored resentment.

They'd already gotten what they were supposed to, yet the Old Man Yang was still acting so obsequiously; it was truly baffling why.

The next moment.

Then she saw something that shocked her.

The leader then took out another bamboo scroll and handed it to Old Man Yang, saying with a gentle smile, "Elder Yang, the contents of this scroll can help you repair the physical damage caused by your years of cultivating the Purgatory Fire."

The Old Man Yang was also stunned.

Then.

He took the bamboo slip with trembling hands, unfolded it, and his old eyes immediately welled up with tears.

My body involuntarily became a little excited.

The guidance he received from the leader last time allowed him to wield the Purgatory Fire freely, without any further restrictions, which had driven him to the brink of madness.

However, the damage caused by the Purgatory Fire is irreparable.

But now.

The leader then handed him a bamboo scroll, saying it could repair the damage to his body and internal organs caused by his use of the Purgatory Fire.

This was simply unbelievable to him.

The Old Man Yang knelt on the ground and said, "Chief, my life belongs to you from now on. I will protect you even if it means my death!"

"Elder Yang, please get up. We've been so grateful for your help along the way; you don't need to do this."

Chen Ning helped the Old Man Yang up.

Actually, when I used my Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils, I also caught a glimpse of some of the Old Man Yang's methods when he fought against the Red Scorpion Clan.

Since the Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils can only be used once every three days, Chen Ning decided to kill two birds with one stone this time, otherwise he would have to wait another three days for the cooldown to end.

Nalan Yao was momentarily stunned by what she saw.

She had just decided that she would stop fawning over the leader after receiving that guide, but this scene was quite a shock to her.

If they had just changed their expression or left...

That would be a huge loss!

The key point is... nobody said there would be a sequel to this plot twist!!!!

Then.

Nalan Yao respectfully cupped her hands to Chen Ning and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Yao'er husband. I am willing to serve you faithfully for all eternity."

Chen Ning smiled as well.

It was a bit fake, but it didn't matter much. Chen Ning knew that only the power he truly held in his hands was the most important.

Now.

It's simply a matter of each getting what they need.

Chen Ning needs her help, while she wants to gain benefits from it.

It's actually simpler.

A moment later.

Chen Ning and the others stepped out of the cave.

The original plan was to leave Yellow Dragon Island directly, but a scene not far away caught the attention of Chen Ning and his companions.

Many cultivators had already gathered there.

Occasionally, murmurs could be heard.

"This cave has never existed before; it just appeared out of nowhere—it's truly a wonder!"

"The sheer size of this cave is astonishing, and it's estimated to be fraught with countless dangers."

"But why hasn't this cave been opened yet?"

Everyone looked over.

The entrance to the cave was shrouded in wisps of light, blocking the way. Some tried to break through with their strength but found it futile, and seemed to have no choice but to wait quietly for the light to gradually dissipate.

"This is a special time restriction set up by Yellow Dragon. It cannot be broken by force; we can only wait. It contains a great fortuitous opportunity. Those who came today are all blessed with a bit of good fortune!"

An old man dressed in tattered clothes explained to the crowd.

Some people looked at him with a hint of skepticism. "How could a place like Yellow Dragon Island be a place for a beggar like you?"

Everyone turned their attention to the old man.

Most people didn't believe him.

There are over a hundred caves on Yellow Dragon Island.

Each cave has a time restriction, and many powerful individuals can break the restriction according to the law. However, in this old man's words, it became something that cannot be broken.

So.

Many people continued to try.

Among them were many cultivators whose cultivation had reached the Great Saint Realm.

"Sir, you say we can only wait. In your opinion, how long will we have to wait?"

At this moment.

Chen Ning's gentle voice rang out.

The old man, dressed in tattered clothes, looked at him with surprise, then smiled and said, "It should open in about an hour."

Then, the old man in plain clothes said earnestly, "Young man, don't rush off. Perhaps a great fortuitous opportunity will eventually fall into your lap."

Haha, thank you for your kind words.

Chen Ning truly had no intention of leaving. If there were any great fortuitous opportunity within this hidden cave, he genuinely wanted to compete for them.

While waiting at this moment.

Nalan Yao took out the bamboo slip that Chen Ning had just given her and immersed herself in it.

The Old Man Yang stood guard beside Chen Ning, while the young monk silently meditated and chanted Buddhist scriptures.

Hua Luo, however, was attracted by the butterflies nearby. She transformed her Illusory Annihilation Dark Gold into an insect net and hopped around trying to catch them.

Chen Ning decided to chat with the old man in plain clothes.

This old man's understanding of time restrictions is so clear that perhaps I can gain some new insights into this path.

As time goes by.

An hour has passed.

Many cultivators who attempted to break the restriction failed, and even experts at the Saint King Realm were unable to do so.

Just then...

The radiance that had been lingering at the cave entrance finally dissipated.

Everyone was taken aback.

The old man was right!
