Record of a Demon's Cultivation

Chapter 341: Rong Jingyun’s Peculiar Behaviour



Translator: Cinder Translations

"There's no time to lose; let's set off immediately to rescue Elder Heng," Song Wen said.

Rong Jingyun looked at Song Wen with gratitude.

"Thank you, Elder Wu. Please follow me."

Rong Jingyun used her sword to fly ahead, leading the way.

The two of them followed the river downstream, flying several miles.

Then, Rong Jingyun leaped into the rushing river.

Song Wen didn't hesitate to follow; he let the Sacred Gu dive into the water first before jumping in himself.

The current was swift, but Song Wen moved through the water like a fish, easily navigating through.

After diving for over ten meters, Song Wen followed Rong Jingyun into an underwater cave.

Rong Jingyun walked ahead cautiously, fearing that there might be monsters lurking in the water.

The underwater cave twisted and turned, and after moving forward for over ten miles, they came across two forks in the cave.

One fork wound forward, while the other slanted upward.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Rong Jingyun chose the upward path.

After moving forward for a bit longer, Rong Jingyun suddenly stopped and communicated with Song Wen through sound transmission.

"We are less than a mile from the water's surface. Above the surface is an underground cave where my husband is located."

"The Burrowing Beast should still be guarding the cave. Once we enter, Elder Wu, please hold off the Burrowing Beast while I seize back the Flame Light Cauldron. If we can slay the Burrowing Beast, that would be even better."

Song Wen nodded, restraining his aura, and moved ahead of Rong Jingyun.

He slowly floated upward and, as they neared the water's surface, he sent the Sacred Gu to probe the surface first.

The cave above was roughly the size of several acres.

In one corner of the cave lay a large Flame Light Cauldron, tipped over onto the ground.

The one-eyed Burrowing Beast was striking the cauldron with its claws, producing loud clanging noises.

It would occasionally bite the cauldron with its sharp teeth but could not harm it in the slightest.

After several failed attempts, the Burrowing Beast grew annoyed and swung its massive tail, striking the cauldron fiercely.

The Flame Light Cauldron was immediately knocked into the air, crashing against the rock wall.

The wall was dented from the impact, with stone debris flying everywhere as rocks tumbled down.

Seeing this scene from underwater, Song Wen activated his spiritual energy and used the Lightning Spear Technique.

With all his strength, three spear-like bolts of lightning shot out of the water.

At the same time, Song Wen leaped out of the water, charging toward the Burrowing Beast.

When enemies meet, there is nothing but enmity.

Upon seeing the incoming figure, the Burrowing Beast, with its remaining eye, flashed with a bloodthirsty red light.

Previously, it was this person's lightning magic that had disrupted it, allowing that woman to ambush and injure one of its eyes.

The human in front of it was mediocre in strength; its lightning magic could only give it a tickle.

How dare this human come chasing after it alone? It was simply looking for death.

The Burrowing Beast exerted its limbs, leaping high into the air and pouncing toward Song

Wen.

At the same time, a layer of earthen yellow light glowed around it, like a thick armor that

protected it.

"Beast, die!" Song Wen roared.

He formed a hand sign for the lightning technique.

A bolt of lightning as thick as a water barrel condensed at the cave's ceiling.

At that moment, the three lightning spears struck the Burrowing Beast.

The lightning erupted, illuminating the entire cave.

The earthen yellow armor on the Burrowing Beast was instantly shattered.

The residual force of the lightning spears slammed the Burrowing Beast down to the ground.

Anger flashed in the eyes of the Burrowing Beast.

Humans are truly despicable and cunning; they hide their true strength.

The power of this lightning spear was several times stronger than before.

At that moment, the large cave's divine thunder had already coalesced.

Feeling the terrifying pressure from the divine thunder, deep fear appeared in the eyes of the Burrowing Beast.

A denser earthen yellow light surged forth from its body.

At the same time, its four limbs began to dig into the ground simultaneously.

Rocks were thrown aside, and in an instant, it had dug a large pit.

The stones that were dug out seemed to be attracted by the earthen yellow glow, automatically wrapping around its body.

From a distance, it looked like a massive stone beast lying on the ground.

At that moment, the divine thunder descended upon the cave.

"Boom!"

Debris shot everywhere.

The surrounding rock walls echoed with loud thuds.

The rock armor on the Burrowing Beast was instantly shattered.

However, the Burrowing Beast itself was nowhere to be seen; only a pit remained in the

ground.

In such a short time, it had already burrowed underground.

"Beast, don't you dare run away!"

Song Wen flashed to the top of the cave entrance.

He could still see half of the Burrowing Beast's tail.

It was desperately digging to escape.

The rock armor hadn't completely blocked the divine thunder; many of the scales on the

Burrowing Beast were shattered.

With its scales broken, blood flowed profusely, making it look extremely miserable.

Song Wen raised his hand to summon a short spear, which crackled with lightning.

"Go!"

He threw the short spear into the underground cave.

The spear pierced through the damaged scales, embedding itself into the Burrowing Beast's

body.

Lightning raged within the Burrowing Beast, causing it to lose its breath instantly.

At this moment, Rong Jingyun, who had just emerged from the water and was preparing to retrieve the Flame Light Cauldron, suddenly stopped.

She turned to look at Song Wen, her face filled with shock, mixed with a hint of vigilance.

The Burrowing Beast was known for its strong defensive capabilities.

Yet, Song Wen had easily dispatched it with just a few moves.

Even at her peak, she would have found it extremely difficult to slay this Burrowing Beast so

easily.

"Elder Rong, shouldn't you hurry to check on Elder Heng?"

Rong Jingyun withdrew her gaze and turned to the side of the Flame Light Cauldron.

The Flame Light Cauldron was a high-grade spirit tool, containing mysterious formations

that had prevented the lid from being opened despite the Burrowing Beast's repeated attacks.

Rong Jingyun channeled her spiritual energy and activated the cauldron, prying open the lid.

With a flick, she only opened a small gap.

As her spiritual sense probed into the cauldron, her face changed drastically, becoming filled

with panic.

Elder Heng's condition seemed dire, so bad that she couldn't be as discreet as before and

pushed the lid wide open.

She used her spiritual energy to lift Elder Heng from within the cauldron.

Or rather, she lifted Elder Heng's lifeless body from inside.

Elder Heng was already dead, his body devoid of any breath, and no deity could save him.

He must have died not long ago, as his soul hadn't yet dispersed.

Rong Jingyun swiftly formed several hand seals and directed them at Elder Heng's body.

Then, she took out a jade vial from her storage ring, preparing to do something.

Suddenly, her movements froze, and she looked up at Song Wen, her expression wavering.

It seemed that upon seeing Elder Heng's death, she had lost her composure and momentarily

forgotten that Song Wen was still beside her.

After pondering for a moment, Rong Jingyun said,

"Elder Wu, what you see and hear from here on out, I implore you, do not disclose a word

outside. Otherwise, I will have no place to stand within the Beast Control Sect."

Song Wen frowned, looking at Rong Jingyun with suspicion.

Earlier, the hand seals that Rong Jingyun cast on Elder Heng's corpse were soul-binding

spells.

This was a common technique among demonic cultivators, intended to bind the soul of the

deceased, preventing it from dissipating and moving on to its rightful place.
