Chapter 2135: Dragon Eye Cave

"Dragon Eye Cave? No way!"

Upon hearing the name, the Dragon Lord's expression changed, and he immediately rejected it.

Long Chi sneered coldly, "Then, according to the Dragon Lord, Hao'er just died in vain? Or should I go kill those humans myself to avenge Hao'er?"

The Dragon Lord's gaze turned icy, and he said in a deep voice, "Dragon Eye Cave is a forbidden area of the dragon race. Even a Heavenly Emperor would find it hard to come out. Sending Ye Yuan in there is sending him to his death!"

"Ridiculous! If I don't send him to a dangerous place, should I send him to a safe one? I've already held back by not slapping him to death. As for Dragon Eye Cave, if he truly has heaven-defying luck and comes out, then I'll have nothing to say!" Long Chi looked at Ye Yuan with a cold sneer.

Dragon Eye Cave was fraught with danger. Not to mention sixth-order cultivators, even seventh-order ones had never come out!

Only those who had reached the Heavenly Emperor realm could barely protect themselves.

Even so, it was extremely perilous.

Long Chi didn't believe that Ye Yuan could actually come out of Dragon Eye Cave.

As for the contract, it would serve perfectly to appease the Holy Ancestor High Priest's wrath—a win-win situation.

It would both kill Ye Yuan and leave the Holy Ancestor High Priest with nothing to say.

Thinking of this, Long Chi couldn't help but feel smug.

Such a brilliant idea could only come from him.

"Fine, I'll go!" Ye Yuan's gaze darkened as he spoke.

The Dragon Lord frowned, "Young man, you don't even know what Dragon Eye Cave is, yet you dare agree? Let me tell you, with your strength, entering there means certain death!"

Ye Yuan understood that the Dragon Lord cared about him, probably because of Long Xiaochun.

But Long Chi was extremely cunning and would never give him a chance.

If he didn't go in, Long Chi might really harm Lü'er and the others.

"Thank you for your concern, Dragon Lord, but I appreciate the sentiment. However, even if it's a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, so what? I, Ye Yuan, have seen all kinds of situations. Old man, I'll go in, but you must swear a Heavenly Dao oath that you will never harm Lü'er and the others!" Ye Yuan looked at Long Chi and said solemnly.

"Haha, how straightforward! Rest assured, once you sign the contract, I will naturally swear a Heavenly Dao oath to put your mind at ease," Long Chi laughed heartily.

...

Coming out of the stone house, Long Xiaochun and Long Xiaohai immediately greeted him.

"Ye Yuan, did they give you a hard time?" Long Xiaochun asked.

Ye Yuan smiled, "I told you, that old man wouldn't dare."

Long Xiaochun finally relaxed and giggled, "Hehe, it seems the title of quasi-saint is quite useful! I've long found Long Hao annoying; killing him was just right! Hmph!"

"Xiaochun!" Long Xiaohai gave her a warning look, and she quickly shut up.

Lü'er still seemed doubtful, "Young master, is it really okay?"

Ye Yuan smiled, "Of course! Don't you trust your young master?"

Hearing this, Lü'er smiled contentedly.

Late at night, Gu Hong appeared in Ye Yuan's room with a grave expression.

The others were simple-minded and didn't suspect anything, but he had lived a long time and couldn't truly be at ease.

After all, this was the dragon race, not the Priest Temple.

Sure enough, Ye Yuan had called him over, which meant there was something to discuss.

Ye Yuan looked at Gu Hong's expression and couldn't help but smile, "Don't make that face. I'm fine, aren't I?"

Gu Hong said solemnly, "What are your orders, Master?"

Ye Yuan said, "Tomorrow morning, I will enter Dragon Eye Cave. It may take a long time. If I come out within ten years, all will be well. If I don't come out within ten years, take them away from the Eastern Town Void Realm and return to the Tianying Imperial City to await news."

Gu Hong's expression changed, "Master, what... what is Dragon Eye Cave?"

Ye Yuan shook his head, "I don't know either, but it's definitely a dangerous place. That old dog threatened me with your lives to make me enter Dragon Eye Cave. Don't look so worried. Your master has been through countless dragon dens and tiger lairs. Does that old dog think he can kill me so easily?"

Gu Hong said gravely, "But..."

Ye Yuan said calmly, "No buts. While I'm away, take good care of Lü'er and the others. That girl won't agree if she knows I'm going to Dragon Eye Cave, so tell her after I leave. Also, you must diligently practice your alchemy. When I come out, I'll test you!"

Gu Hong's expression shifted uncertainly. After a long while, he slowly nodded, "Yes, Master. Master, you must be very careful on this journey!"

...

The next morning, before dawn, Ye Yuan arrived at the stone tower in the center of Yulong Village, where Long Zhi was already waiting.

"Have you really thought this through? Once you go, it may be hard to turn back," Long Zhi said solemnly.

"If I don't go, will that old dog let me off?" Ye Yuan countered.

Long Zhi sighed, "If I had known, I wouldn't have brought you in!"

Ye Yuan smiled, "It's too late to say that now. But that old dog wants my life—it won't be that easy!"

"Dragon Eye Cave is full of demons, extremely ferocious. This Shikun Tower is used to suppress Dragon Eye Cave," Long Zhi said, looking at Ye Yuan with a complex expression.

Ye Yuan was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Dragon Eye Cave to be right in the center of Yulong Village.

The dragon race's settlement was built on such dangerous ground.

It was as if it were specifically constructed to suppress Dragon Eye Cave.

"Come, follow me. Long Chi and the others are already waiting for you. Be careful not to disturb the formation, or even the gods won't be able to save you," Long Zhi warned.

Ye Yuan followed Long Zhi into the stone tower, descending the stairs, going deeper and deeper.

Suddenly, the path opened up, and they arrived at a great hall.

In the center of the hall, purple light swirled, resembling a cave entrance, from which emanated a thick demonic aura.

And this was after it had been sealed.

The demonic aura inside Dragon Eye Cave must be even stronger.

If a cultivator below the Divine Realm were here, they would likely be frozen into ice by this demonic aura.

Ye Yuan squinted, immediately sensing the danger of Dragon Eye Cave.

No wonder the Dragon Lord's expression changed so drastically when he heard about Dragon Eye Cave.

Long Chi and Long Yu were both there. When they saw Ye Yuan, their faces showed undisguised glee.

"Ye Yuan, we've come to see you off!" Long Yu said with double meaning, smugly.

Ye Yuan had already calmed down and smiled faintly, "I'm honored by your trouble. I thought you'd be seeing Long Hao off at this time."

Long Chi's expression darkened, and he sneered, "Don't worry, with you accompanying him on the road to the underworld, Hao'er won't be lonely."

Ye Yuan laughed heartily, "Then you'd better pray I don't die, or when I get there, he'll die a second time."

The father and son gnashed their teeth at Ye Yuan's demeanor.

"Hmph! Sharp-tongued! Let's see if you can still laugh once you're in Dragon Eye Cave! Enough talk, did you bring the contract?" Long Chi snorted coldly.

Ye Yuan took out a jade slip and said calmly, "Swear the oath."
