Chapter 230: The Immortal’s Demise

“Is this the Rain Rainbow Cave?”

Lin Nuo was taken aback; he hadn’t paid attention to this question when he first entered. He had considered a few points in coming to investigate the cave:

Were there any people? Were there magic arrays or spiritual awareness? Could it be hidden?

The Immortal Valley cave might indeed have spiritual awareness, after all, if there were treasures hidden inside or formations for cultivation, he needed to be cautious.

Clearly, the result was that none of those things were present.

Meanwhile, Ruo’er was concerned about the cave’s environment and was also paying attention to whether the cave had a poetic name.

She saw it: Rain Rainbow Cave—a name full of poetry, vibrant like a rainbow appearing after rain. The heavenly lotus flowers inside the cave emitted a pleasant fragrance.

Indeed, their thinking had a tiny gap in understanding.

“That’s right! This is Rain Rainbow Cave! This must not be a coincidence; it’s fate! Young Master, why don’t we take the chance to dual cultivate here?”

Ruo’er kept tugging at Lin Nuo’s sleeve, her sparkling eyes filled with anticipation, practically wishing to start an exciting dual cultivation right then and there.

“What are you thinking? We have important matters at hand.”

Lin Nuo quickly interrupted Ruo’er’s thoughts. Even if they were to dual cultivate, there was a White Immortal Tiger here; would they really perform a live show for it?

No wonder there was no spiritual awareness here; after all, in a dual cultivation spot, if you activated spiritual awareness, it would be like setting up a camera—unreasonable. The immortals here were not that foolish.

From the entrance of Rain Rainbow Cave to the end, Lin Nuo and the others took more than ten minutes. If they were to hide, it was best to do so at the end.

“This spot will do.”

Lin Nuo chose a place and drew a circle, asking Ruo’er to tell the White Immortal Tiger to stand inside it.

The circle was quite large, enough for the tiger to move around, and it could sleep if it got tired.

The main concern was that it might run out midway and get captured by other pursuing immortals.

The White Immortal Tiger listened to Ruo’er very well, immediately standing inside. Lin Nuo cast a spell, and the circle turned into an invisible cage, trapping the White Immortal Tiger inside.

“It can’t escape for now.”

Once the spell was complete, Lin Nuo withdrew his hand.

Ruo’er touched her cheek, puzzled:

“Young Master, if an immortal comes in and they find Brother Tiger trapped, won’t they think of us as bad people intentionally imprisoning an immortal beast?”

“They won’t. I’ve placed a spiritual talisman in the entrance passage. It can recognize whether the person entering is you or me. If not, the talisman will be destroyed, and the magic array around it will disappear, allowing it to move freely. That way, the immortals won’t know we hid it here.”

Lin Nuo explained. He had already mastered how to use talismans for automation, but it was a bit expensive in terms of talismans.

“Then Young Master, how will it eat?”

Ruo’er asked innocently and innocently like a little girl.

“There’s a water source here. As for food, I have spirit pills that last a while, and there are external immortal fruits it can eat as well. You can ask it what it usually eats. Forget it, don’t ask random questions. Just listen to my orders; say what I tell you to say, and if anything happens, I’ll cover for you.”

Lin Nuo instructed Ruo’er. After all, little lolis weren’t good at lying, unlike him, who had been drifting in the Jianghu for years, able to weave a good tale.

Lin Nuo felt he could utilize her ability.

The White Immortal Tiger waited comfortably inside, while Lin Nuo led Ruo’er out of Rain Rainbow Cave.

Ruo’er kept looking back, reluctant to leave.

On the one hand, she was worried about the White Immortal Tiger; on the other, it was a rare opportunity to be in such a beautiful cave like Rain Rainbow Cave. It felt wasteful not to dual cultivate with the Young Master.

“Let’s go back.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

Ruo’er followed Lin Nuo’s pace, but it wasn’t long before Lin Nuo stopped.

“By the way, how do we get back…?”

…

“Have you found everything?”

“We found part of it; there are still some we don’t know where they are. We can’t feel their presence, but we haven’t found that they’ve left Zifeng Valley.”

The immortal beasts had escaped, and the immortals were anxious. However, at this moment, the common folk were in trouble, and Zifeng Valley had dispatched a batch of immortals down the valley. Some were in closed-door cultivation, so manpower was insufficient.

Even if they found the immortal beasts, those beasts had turned rebellious and had even fought with the immortals.

Even if they were caught again, they wouldn’t yield, and being trapped by magic arrays now was much fiercer and more rebellious than when they first entered Zifeng Valley.

“What on earth is going on?”

Dong Xiyan and the other immortals were puzzled about why the immortal beasts were acting out. Even their keepers didn’t understand their intentions and could only let Ruo’er, who could communicate with the beasts, try to talk to them.

At that moment, Ruo’er had followed Lin Nuo to the scene. They saw various immortal beasts—wolves, eagles, turtles, and more—all struggling within the magic arrays.

“Ruo’er, you’re here! Quickly, go communicate with them and see what’s happening.”

Dong Xiyan urged Ruo’er to go over, and Ruo’er looked at Lin Nuo, who nodded.

Ruo’er stepped forward and asked them:

“Please don’t be afraid. I mean no harm. I heard you weren’t like this before. Why have you been rebellious lately? Is there something troubling you? Talking about it might make you feel better~”

“We don’t want to be puppets of the immortals!”

“The immortals want us dead!”

“Let us out!”

The immortal beasts all became agitated, gritting their teeth and yelling, desperately wanting to rush out and fight those immortals.

“Um… They seem very angry. They want me to leave quickly and don’t want to talk…”

Ruo’er turned to the immortals, saying that they were denouncing the immortals but didn’t reject Ruo’er, echoing what the White Immortal Tiger had initially said.

But she was lying—words Lin Nuo had taught her.

“Take your time to communicate with them, soothe their anger. We must know what the problem is.”

“Um… I’ll try my best…”

Ruo’er continued to console these immortal beasts. She understood their thoughts, but they were unwilling to tell her.

The immortals had no choice but to let Ruo’er stay behind, trying to communicate with the beasts, hoping to learn their thoughts.

Of course, Lin Nuo stayed as well; after all, he could step in at the right moment to help.

Suddenly, an immortal rushed in, holding another immortal, their faces pale with fear.

“Something terrible happened; Yu Huangxian is dead!”

The immortal quickly set down the motionless Yu Huangxian. Externally, he appeared uninjured, but he had already lost all breath, and his immortal energy and spiritual power were utterly depleted—he had met his demise.

“What happened? When did he die?”

Several immortals quickly surrounded, examining the fallen Yu Huangxian’s condition.

“I don’t know. When I found him near the sealing stone, he was already dead,” the immortal said anxiously.

An immortal had suddenly died in Zifeng Valley. Could it have been due to a backlash from cultivation gone wrong?

Lin Nuo thought, feeling that this matter was not simple.
