Ji Wushi immediately asked, "Does Master Jiang mean we should continue exploring the other entrances to that cave?"
Ji Wushi was indeed a clever man; he immediately understood Jiang Ning's intentions.
"good."
Jiang Ning nodded.
"I need a few skilled brothers to go and investigate."
As soon as Jiang Ning finished speaking, no one responded, but after a while, several people squeezed forward.
“King Ning, let’s go with you.”
The moment these people came out, they attracted everyone's attention.
They didn't step forward because they were afraid of being a burden to Jiang Ning due to their lack of skills. Now that these people have stepped forward, it's clear they are very confident in their abilities.
"Alright, you may come with me."
Jiang Ning didn't waste any time or words, and immediately left with his group.
When they arrived at the cave entrance again, Jiang Ning made a gesture to the others. They nodded in understanding and dispersed to search for other cave entrances nearby. Jiang Ning was not idle either; he was also looking for other cave entrances.
After a while, Jiang Ning returned to his original spot, and soon after, the others also groped their way back.
“Ning Yanwang, I’ve found a cave entrance.”
One of them spoke in a low voice.
"I found one too."
"I found two!"
The others also spoke up.
Jiang Ning gathered information from the group's investigation. They found five cave entrances within a few hundred meters of each other. Adding the one they were currently at, and the other cave entrance Jiang Ning had just found, there were a total of seven cave entrances.
Of these seven entrances, one is extremely wide, much larger than the others, and should be the main entrance; the rest are secondary entrances.
Without exception, all of these cave entrances were guarded by members of the Demonic Cult.
"Okay, go back."
Jiang Ning spoke to them, and then the group left.
Back at the original spot, Ji Wushi and the others were still waiting. When they saw Jiang Ning and the others return, before Ji Wushi could speak, Jiang Ning said, "That cave has seven entrances, one of which is the main entrance, and there are six smaller entrances."
After telling Ji Wushi the approximate locations of the seven cave entrances, Ji Wushi frowned slightly and analyzed.
"Based on the findings of Master Jiang and his brothers, the underground cave must be extremely spacious, easily accommodating thousands of people. There are probably thousands of members of the Demonic Cult hiding inside."
"correct."
As he spoke, Ji Wushi seemed to remember something and said to Jiang Ning.
“Master Jiang, there’s something I haven’t told you yet. Other brothers have also discovered several caves ahead, and those caves are also hiding members of the Demonic Cult. However, those caves can’t hold many people, at least a few dozen, at most a few hundred. In addition, the Demonic Cult here has probably ambushed no less than four thousand people this time.”
Ji Wushi frowned. If so many people were really lying in ambush, it would be a tough battle for them.
Unlike Ji Wushi, the other three hundred people were somewhat excited.
"Ning Yanwang, shall we charge over there now?"
One person couldn't wait to speak.
Everyone looked at Jiang Ning with eager anticipation.
Despite their small number, none of them showed any fear or hesitation, especially with Jiang Ning still present.
They deeply admired and respected Jiang Ning for his many deeds, and being able to fight alongside him was something they had never dared to imagine before.
Now, if Jiang Ning gives the order, they would dare to send hundreds of men into the cave that houses thousands of members of the Demonic Cult.
Chapter 706: Cleansing the Demonic Cult Inside the Cave
"Don't panic, everyone."
Jiang Ning remained calm; he hadn't forgotten that his purpose this time was to explore the mountains.
“Mr. Ji, you have seen the situation here. Please go down the mountain now and inform my master and the others.”
Jiang Ning turned to look at Ji Wushi.
Ji Wushi nodded, then asked, "Then you..."
"We'll wait here."
Jiang Ning said calmly.
Ji Wushi was taken aback by what he heard, but he didn't say anything and just nodded.
"Hero Jiang, brothers, be careful. I will report this matter to Alliance Leader Yue as soon as possible."
Without delay, he turned around and used his lightness skill to quickly disappear from sight.
Having failed to find a solution, Jiang Ning left and looked at the crowd.
Jiang Ning spoke.
"Does anyone have any thoughts?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, one person stepped forward and said, "King Ning, just give your orders. We will all listen to you."
"Yes."
"Whatever King Ning says, the brothers will do."
The others echoed in agreement.
"Since that's the case, I won't say any more."
Jiang Ning didn't say anything more and went straight to the point: "Where are those dozen or so caves located?"
Immediately someone stepped forward to report the news.
After learning of these locations, Jiang Ning marked them out on the ground.
"Based on our reconnaissance, the number of members of the Demonic Cult hidden in these dozen or so caves varies, ranging from several hundred to several dozen. We can defeat them one by one."
Jiang Ning's plan was to first clear out the other members of the Demonic Cult in the other caves before Yue Buqun and his men came up, and then deal with the large cave where thousands of Demonic Cult members were hiding.
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's idea, everyone became excited and cheered.
"King Yama, we'll all listen to you!"
"Yes! Kill these evil cult members!"
With no objections from the others, Jiang Ning began to formulate a plan and chose the first cave to target.
Jiang Ning looked at the distribution of the caves on the ground and quickly made a decision, pointing to one of the caves.
"First, eliminate this evil cult."
The cave Jiang Ning pointed out was the furthest from the cult's hideout, where about a hundred members of the cult were hiding, making it the most suitable place to take them down.
Jiang Ning left a dozen or so people behind to wait for the main force to come up the mountain to provide support and to monitor any unusual activities of the demonic sect within the cave. Then, he led the rest of his men to begin their operation.
Half an hour later, Jiang Ning arrived at their destination with several dozen people.
The others were secretly monitored by Jiang Ning along the way, keeping track of the movements of those hiding in the caves of the Demonic Sect.
Although only a few dozen people came along, everyone showed excitement.
"Ning Yanwang, it's just ahead."
One of them whispered to Jiang Ning, who looked ahead and saw a cave entrance hidden among the trees. That was one of the caves where the Demonic Sect was hiding.
"Do it."
Without further ado, Jiang Ning gave the order, then leaped into the air and arrived at the cave entrance in the blink of an eye.
"who?!"
A member of the Demonic Cult who was on duty at the gate was suddenly startled to see someone fall from the sky. He tried to shout, but Jiang Ning grabbed him by the neck the next second.
Click!
Jiang Ning remained expressionless, snapped the man's neck, tossed him aside, and then entered the cave.
At this moment, the others also ran over. Seeing how decisive Jiang Ning was, they didn't dare to delay and immediately rushed into the cave.
A fierce battle ensued.
In just a moment, Jiang Ning's figure appeared inside the cave entrance.
Without glancing at the corpse beside the cave entrance, Jiang Ning walked out of the cave with an indifferent expression, and the others followed suit.
"next."
Jiang Ning left those words behind and continued on to his other goals.
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, all showing surprise.
When they entered the cave earlier, they intended to follow Jiang Ning to wipe out the demonic cult members inside, but they were stunned by the strength Jiang Ning displayed.
After Jiang Ning entered the cave, he seemed to stroll leisurely, leaving no survivors in his wake. Everyone was killed with a single blow. Before they could even react, most of the members of the Demonic Cult inside the cave had been slaughtered. The remaining members of the Demonic Cult were terrified and tried to escape, but this cave only had one entrance, which was also the exit. Jiang Ning was killing from the outside in, blocking the exit. Those people couldn't escape even if they wanted to, and it was too late for them to beg for mercy.
Jiang Ning killed people with lightning speed and showed no mercy. In just a few moments, he cleared out the members of the Demonic Cult from the cave. Those who had followed him didn't even have a chance to fight back. Everyone was stunned.
I knew you were good, but I didn't expect you to be this good. How come you killed them as easily as killing chickens?
It makes us feel like we're just there to make up the numbers.
Only then did everyone realize the true value of being ranked third on the righteous path.
Upon hearing that Jiang Ning was preparing to clean the next cave, everyone realized what was happening and quickly followed.
The next cave is not far from here, and it also has only one entrance. The number of people inside is unknown, but it is estimated that there are not many, about the same as the number of the demonic cult members who were wiped out in the previous cave.
"Ning Yama!"
The members of the Demonic Cult who had been secretly monitoring the cave revealed themselves upon seeing Jiang Ning and his group.
"Ning Yanwang, have you already resolved this?"
One of them spoke up and asked.
Those who were asked the question exchanged strange glances.
us?
Sorry, we're just cheerleaders; it was all taken care of by Ning Yanwang (the King of Hell).
The silence of the crowd puzzled the person who had spoken up, but Jiang Ning had already asked, "Is there anything unusual here?"
"No."
The man immediately replied, "King Yama, shall we make our move now?"
"Ah."
Jiang Ning nodded, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards the cave entrance.
Seeing Jiang Ning preparing to leave, the others also intended to follow, but noticing the strange expressions on the faces of the others, they asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you guys?"
The group looked at each other in bewilderment, then one of them said, "You'll find out soon enough."
The group looked completely bewildered.
what do you know?
"who?!"
The demonic cult members at the cave entrance in the distance had already spotted Jiang Ning, but as soon as they tried to leave, Jiang Ning grabbed their necks and killed them instantly.
After a while.
Jiang Ning reappeared from the cave entrance.
"next."
Jiang Ning left those words behind and continued toward the next target. At that moment, the other group of people came out, looking completely bewildered.
"Now you know, right?"
