"What's wrong?" Baili Luoxing couldn't help but ask.
Previously, Feng Shenlang had navigated all the routes with great familiarity and without the slightest hesitation, but now he had stopped at a fork in the road. There must be a reason for this.
Feng Shenlang's expression was solemn; the crossroads he had come from had now disappeared.
"There should have been another intersection ahead, but it has been blocked by an unknown force," Feng Shenlang said.
Baili Luoxing also became much more serious upon hearing this, thinking that the current change must have been caused by the creatures from those Dark Demon Cave.
However, since the situation has already occurred, there's nothing that can be done about complaining; all that can be done is try to resolve it as best as possible.
Feng Shenlang closed his eyes, unleashing the power of the Lord of the Firmament, and continuously explored the surrounding Dark Demon Cave.
The internal pathways of this Dark Demon Cave are incredibly intricate and complex. If it weren't for Feng Shenlang's special power, he and Baili Luoxing would likely have taken three to five years to get out using only their spiritual strength.
However, even with the power of the Lord of the Firmament, Feng Shenlang's exploration was quite difficult, and it would take him some time to find a way out.
As if things weren't going to go wrong, just moments later, Baili Luoxing heard the cries of the creatures within the Dark Demon Cave.
"How much longer? Those things will catch up soon!" Baili Luoxing said anxiously.
Seeing that Feng Shenlang had not yet reacted, Baili Luoxing and rushed towards the nearest cave.
In any case, Feng Shenlang's current state seems extremely mysterious. Baili Luoxing has a premonition that it's best not to let anything else disturb his exploration, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Since that's the case, then he'll have to be the one guarding the gate.
By the time Baili Luoxing arrived at the cave entrance, several fast-moving creatures had already rushed over, and they ended up running right into the muzzle of Baili Luoxing's gun.
The first few creatures didn't pose much of a threat to Baili Luoxing, and he dealt with them in no time.
Unfortunately Baili Luoxing had already spent too much time in this Dark Demon Cave, and his strength was not what it used to be. After successively killing several creatures in the Dark Demon Cave, he was already feeling weak all over.
But for now, all we can do is persevere!
Baili Luoxing gritted his teeth; this was only the beginning.
Seeing that the main force of the Dark Demon Cave creatures was about to rush over, Baili Luoxing's face was bitter, and he couldn't help but shout to Feng Shenlang, " Feng Shenlang, how much longer do we need! At most, only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn! Otherwise, I really can't hold on any longer!"
However, Feng Shenlang was still focused on exploring the path and did not reply to Baili Luoxing.
It wasn't that Feng Shenlang didn't want to answer Baili Luoxing; it was simply that he didn't have the means to do so.
Although he is the Lord of the Firmament and has inherited the position of Lord of the Firmament, his strength is still insufficient, and he has only recently acquired his power, so many things are subject to limitations.
Although there was no reply, Feng Shenlang's expression wasn't much better; a bead of cold sweat gradually slid down his forehead, and he looked quite anxious.
He knew something about Baili Luoxing's condition; even if he could hold on, he couldn't hold on for very long.
Another incense stick's worth of time has passed.
Feng Shenlang remained motionless, while Baili Luoxing stubbornly held his position at the cave entrance, his breathing becoming chaotic.
Having finally dealt with another wave of creatures from the Dark Demon Cave, Baili Luoxing finally had a moment to turn around and check on Feng Shenlang's situation.
Seeing that the young man remained as still as a meditating monk, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that this kid really trusted him.
Didn't he ever consider that if he hadn't chosen to persevere, or if he couldn't hold on any longer, he would have died here too?
Thinking of this, Baili Luoxing suddenly laughed.
This is the trust they share as Primordial Sequence Disciple!
If I put myself in someone else's shoes, if it weren't me standing here today, but that kid Feng Shenlang, and I were the one exploring the path, then I would also become Feng Shenlang!
"Are you done yet! Hurry up, we're about to give up!" Seeing another wave of creatures from the Dark Demon Cave rushing over, Baili Luoxing roared and unleashed a fierce attack.
However, compared to the previous attacks, this attack was much weaker.
Clearly, Baili Luoxing wasn't joking.
Finally, Feng Shenlang opened his eyes. "Found it, come with me!"
"Finally found it!" Baili Luoxing breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed.
Then, the two headed straight for the fork in the road on the left.
As for the creatures of the Dark Demon Cave, they continued to follow behind the two, relentlessly pursuing them.
Perhaps influenced by the aura within the Dark Demon Cave, even Feng Shenlang, the Lord of the Firmament of the Azure Weapon Immortal Realm, could not easily restrict their actions.
Along the way, Baili Luoxing and Feng Shenlang kept releasing attacks on the road behind them, causing large sections of the cave to collapse.
However, no one knows what kind of structure those creatures have, yet quite a few of them managed to squeeze through.
After an unknown amount of time, the two finally escaped the Dark Demon Cave in a very dangerous situation.
"Call..."
Now, both Feng Shenlang and Baili Luoxing breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to escape!
"Let's go back to find the Palace Master!" Feng Shenlang said.
Baili Luoxing nodded, his face still somewhat pale, due to the immense power he had just expended.
"So, after all this time, you came to the Dark Demon Cave to find me because you were on the orders of the Palace Master," Baili Luoxing teased Feng Shenlang.
Feng Shenlang could easily tell that the young man was joking, and immediately laughed and said, "That's obvious! If it weren't for the Palace Master's orders, who would bother looking for you!"
Just as the two were about to leave the Weapon Immortal Realm, Baili Luoxing suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong now?" Feng Shenlang turned around and immediately understood the situation.
It turned out that there was a problem with the long spear in Baili Luoxing's hands.
After leaving the Dark Demon Cave, the seemingly ordinary long spear suddenly erupted with terrifying purple flames, looking quite sinister.
Only then did Feng Shenlang finally understand the problem with the long spear.
The Dark Demon Cave continuously provides power to and nurtures the spear, which is why the spear appears so imposing inside the Dark Demon Cave.
