Chapter 1747 Two-Headed Spider Demon

"Why so many questions? Can't I just help you?" Ruan Yu's answer left Huo Yun speechless.

"You have sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao to serve me. Your increased strength will only benefit me, not harm me. Given this, what reason do I have not to help you?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yun looked up and gave Ruan Yu a deep look.

Although this sounded very believable, he always felt that Ruan Yu wasn't helping him entirely for that reason.

"There is a powerful guardian demon within the secret realm, whose strength far surpasses mine."

Ruan Yu was a little dizzy: "If you're far superior to me, then can we still get this fire-attribute treasure?"

"It's difficult with just the two of us," Huo Yun said frankly, "but with the soul beasts in your space..."

"Don't even think about targeting them. I can't let them rush to their deaths." Ruan Yu interrupted Huo Yun: "The high-level soul beasts have already given me clones. Right now, there are only some low-level soul beasts in the space. Even you can't handle the great demons. If the soul beasts rush out, they'll just die."

"You're quite loyal," Huo Yun said, gesturing with his lips.

But his mind was elsewhere.

Perhaps, following such a person is not a bad thing for him.

"Of course." Ruan Yu nodded affirmatively.

The spirit beasts are all on our side. If we don't treat our own people well, why should we treat outsiders well?

"Then we'll just have to wait for those idiots from the human race to go first," Huo Yun said, revealing his plan.

"You won't refuse this, will you?" He glanced at Ruan Yu.

"No, these people are evil cultivators. It would be better if they all died here!" the latter replied.

"Go and wait outside the great demon's lair first."

To avoid alerting the great demon, they did not use their divine power, but instead walked along the path.

However, the secret realm is not very large.

After walking about two or three miles, Ruan Yu discovered several evil cultivators who had fallen into the secret realm before them.

Their faces were beaming with smiles, and they looked like they had made a great harvest.

"Those idiots up there would never have imagined that there's a secret realm down there!"

"Yes, we've already acquired quite a few treasures since we just arrived. Although we don't need them, we can sell them for money and still live a comfortable life for the rest of our days!"

"Since no one has come to join us, they probably won't dare to come down. In that case, this treasure is ours!"

"I can feel the aura of the treasure growing stronger, it's just ahead!" Several evil cultivators flew towards the great demon's lair with shining eyes.

They had no idea what awaited them.

Huo Yun transmitted his voice to Ruan Yu: "Follow them, and remember to conceal your presence."

"Hmm!" Ruan Yu nodded solemnly, channeling her dark divine power to strengthen herself. Still feeling it wasn't enough, she activated all the concealment artifacts she currently possessed.

Now, not only the great demon, but even the fire cloud beside her could no longer sense her presence: "Did you hide in the space?"

No, I'm right next to you.

Huoyun: "..."

If I had known you were so good at hiding, I would have stayed with you.

The two followed the evil cultivators and arrived at the great demon's lair one after the other.

"During the day, the great demon will slumber, but if anyone covets its treasures, it will immediately awaken and annihilate them!"

"After all that talk, you still haven't said what kind of demon it is!" Ruan Yu asked.

"Can you guess what kind of demon lives in such a huge cave?"

"I don't want to guess."

"That boring woman is a spider demon, and a two-headed one at that. She's incredibly powerful. I only exchanged a few dozen blows with her before I was knocked out." Although he was very reluctant to admit it, Huo Yun had to say these words.

This serves as a warning.

Ruan Yu wondered if coming here was the right decision: "So strong?" It sounds like we have no chance of winning!

"It's alright, those evil cultivators upstairs couldn't wait any longer and have already come down."

Ruan Yu also sensed what Huo Yun said.

The group of evil cultivators will reach their lair in no time.

At that time, they will distract the spider demons' firepower, allowing them to take away the treasures.

"Aaaaaah!!" Several broken screams echoed from deep within the lair.

Huo Yun's tone remained unchanged: "It seems that those who went to scout ahead are already dead."

"Let's wait for the main force."

The two did not rush into the nest.

Facing the two-headed spider demon head-on, they were no match at all; they could only use a feint.

Before long, the main force of the evil cultivators arrived: "The screams are coming from this cave! Could there be something terrifying inside?"

Many evil cultivators sensed the immense pressure and dared not enter the cave for a moment.

Many others were blinded by greed, thinking, "Cowards! With so many of us, we can overcome any danger as long as we work together!"

"The treasure is right in front of us, are we just going to let it slip away?"

"Well... alright! We're almost there, let's go in!"

The hesitant evil cultivators gritted their teeth and went inside one after another.

No one noticed that there were two little tails at the very end of the line.

"Once they start fighting, you go open the box."

"Open the box?"

“Yes, the ultimate artifact is in the box,” Huo Yun said. “I’ve already tried, but I can’t open the box. There’s a special restriction left by a great demon on it.”

He paused for a moment, then added, "It would be best if the box could be opened, but if it can't, we'll just have to carry it and run."

Ruan Yu was stunned; the more she listened, the less reliable it seemed.

Can we really trust Huoyun?

The nest wasn't deep, and the group lit a fire and quickly reached the bottom.

Apart from a few mangled corpses, there was nothing on the ground.

"It's them! They're actually dead!" The evil cultivators' eyes widened.

"There were no signs of a struggle around, which means they were ambushed! And it was a single, decisive blow!"

These words caused widespread panic!

"Who is it? Show yourself!"

"Ahhh! Look up!" a female evil cultivator shouted, pointing sharply at the top of her head.

Everyone followed the sound.

On the cave ceiling, a massive, purplish-black spider with two heads was crawling about! Its heads were covered in countless eyes! The sight sent chills down one's spine!

Those people died in the mouth of this spider beast!

"It's just a spider beast that killed a few people by sneaking up. What's there to be alarmed about!" The speaker said dismissively, brandishing his long sword as he jumped up.

"Bang!" The long sword was a divine weapon.

The attack struck the two-headed spider's head, yet failed to cause any damage!

Moreover, the edge of his blade was curled!

"This is a divine weapon!" The evil cultivator, wielding the long sword, could barely stand after landing.

He used all his strength in that last strike.

"I don't want the treasure anymore, you can divide it among yourselves!" This spider beast is very strong! He doesn't want to die here!

After saying that, he took off running at the fastest speed he had ever run.

But... he slashed the spider demon with his sword, how could the spider demon let him leave so easily?

"Whoosh!" A thin, white spider silk shot out and pierced his heart! Pinning him hard to the wall!
