Chapter 224 The Unknown Fate
Zhang Yunyan recalled the horrible experience last night, and she could not help but think of that terrible piece of jade. She was still frightened. The evil stone not only flew like a bird, but also attacked Shikong madly, and entangled and tortured her desperately. She was extremely painful but she couldn’t get rid of it.

After Yunyan escaped to the cave with stream water, she used the magical power of the jade to give a serious blow to Jiuyou Sage and the devils, seriously hitting Green Hair King Ghost and Yellow Hair King Ghost, making it difficult for them to move.

What’s more, when they were about to be injured by Jiuyou Sage, the jade slipped out of her hand, destroying the entire cave with shocking power and severely punishing those devils.

Fortunately, Yunyan, Shikong and Turtle Elf escaped by water. Of course, she was not as lucky as her two friends. After she died, it was her soul that escaped from there.

Anyway, her soul returned to the mortal world, and she could continue to avenge her families, to find her brother Yuntian and sister Yunxia, and to fight for her mission.

Last night, the Devil’s Cave had completely collapsed. Zhang Yunyan was convinced of the existence of the master a thousand years ago, and no longer doubted about the millennium message.

It was amazing and puzzling that the master could figure out what would happen a thousand years later, know what her name was, and know that after a thousand years, she would enter the Cave of Fate last night, which was so magical that it was somewhat weird and incredible.

Zhang Yunyan increasingly believed that the Cave of Fate was sealed by the master, and he intentionally prevented outsiders from entering.

That jade, as well as those mysterious things in the cave, belonged to that master. It was carefully planned and elaborately designed. It was deliberately kept until last night after a thousand years and then destroyed with the entire cave.

Zhang Yunyan still had a lot of puzzles. In addition to going to Tianyue Country and becoming good friends with Xiao Tianlong and Samuume, she had never been to other ancient times. She never knew any person who lived thousands of years ago, let alone having a friendship of life and death. It was impossible for such strange things to happen.

To say the least, even if what the master said was true, she had a millennium covenant with him, and had a friendship of life and death between generations. Why did he hurt her so bad? Why did he endlessly torture a so-called friend between generations and make her so painful that she wished to die?

Zhang Yunyan never knew that ancient person who had lived a thousand years ago, let alone having enmity between each other.

Yunyan was an unknown and ordinary person, but the master was so vicious that he must destroy her with the entire cave. Why?

Thinking of the reclusive master, Yunyan couldn’t help but think of two previous encounters, once at Jade Dragon Lake in her hometown, and once when encountering demon deer and demon monkey. On those two occasions, she was enclosed in the cave and heard the “millennium message”.

Judging from the voice, the way of speech, the things said, and the same words, the three people could be considered as the same person.

Zhang Yunyan was still puzzled. There were so many people in the world, and she was just an ordinary woman among them. Why did that man pay much attention to her? Why did he follow her to Qinglong Mountain again, and not give up until he could hurt her?

She was very puzzled and terrified. Even the enemy who hurt her became a mystery. It was terrible.

Speaking of the contact thousands of years ago, and a friendship of life and death, Zhang Yunyan naturally thought of the old woman who claimed to be half an immortal.

The old witch, like the reclusive master, claimed that she had contacts with her thousands of years ago, and that they were friends of different generation, which was weird.

Yunyan remembered another encounter in the past and was suspicious.

At that time, after escaping from the cave sealed by the demon monkey, she also encountered a mysterious old woman who also claimed to be a close friend of life and death with her. She also said that they had contacts thousands of years ago. Could they be the same person?

Judging from the words of two people and their voices, it seemed that they were the same person, but it couldn’t be certain yet.

What made Zhang Yunyan puzzled was that why the old witch lied like the “millennium covenanter”, and deliberately deceived her. She claimed to have been entrusted to come to Qinglong Mountain, and she came for her. Who was she entrusted by? Was she really the companion of Jiuyou Sage?

Whether or not, Jiuyou Sage and the devils had been buried deep underground.

It was unknown that where the old witch went. She hoped that she did not escape the disaster of last night, and was buried underground, so that she could no longer harm people.

Zhang Yunyan remembered that terrible piece of jade again. The reason why it had the power to destroy the cave must be the result of the master’s refining.

That master set up secret traps in the cave in advance, including those mysterious words of fate, the chess game, and those mysteries that could only be felt but not be detected, thus the extremely terrible consequence happened last night.

In the Devil’s Cave, the inexplicable mysteries that happened again and again were preinstalled by that master. The entire cave was eventually destroyed in accordance with the procedures arranged by the master.

However, if the master wanted to use the jade to destroy the cave, why did he badger with Zhang Yunyan? Why did he have to wait for her to come to destroy the cave, and bury the “friend between generations” from thousands of years later underground?

Yunyan thought hard and couldn’t understand it. Mysteries appeared one after another, and they all stayed in her hearts, leaving profound marks.

She couldn’t help but think, but it was in vain. There was no way to guess, and she was unable to solve these mysteries.

When the cave was destroyed, the momentum was shocking and terrifying. She was still terrified when thinking about it.

Zhang Yunyan was very surprised that when she was about to die, the jade had a sudden magic outburst and buried the devils deep underground. Shikong, Turtle Elf and she escaped from the “hell” unexpectedly.

Why did the three of them survive fortunately in the catastrophic disaster?

Of course, she was dead, and only her soul was preserved.

This was a bigger mystery.

Zhang Yunyan was frightened and deeply puzzled by mystery. She couldn’t help but guess. Analyzing the process from the results, she seemed to realize something.

Yunyan felt that the reason why the jade chose her must be related to the reclusive master.

In the “hell” where they were doomed to die, she died in the destruction, and her soul was preserved. It was arranged by the reclusive master a thousand years ago.

Yunyan knew very well that the master had a very strong ability to foresee, and that he knew accurately about what would happen after a thousand years. What happened last night was completely in his control.

Yunyan had another kind of cognition. Perhaps, the master didn’t want to hurt her, but he couldn’t let her escape, so he saved her soul.

At the moment of crisis, the jade launched an attack on Jiuyou Sage, destroyed the devils together with the entire cave, and pushed her into the stream with Shikong and Turtle Elf. Thus, they swam from the reserved cave entrance to another exit.

Her two friends escaped and her soul also returned to the world. Despite her misfortune, such an ending was acceptable.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunyan smiled bitterly in silence. It was her well-intentioned conjecture, but it was unreasonable to the wicked and was never possible.

If that man didn’t want to hurt her, why didn’t he prevent her from falling into the Devil’s Cave beforehand? After she entered the Devil’s Cave, why didn’t he preinstall the traps to let her escape? She entered the Cave of Fate, then why didn’t he keep the seal and prevent Jiuyou Sage and the devils from hunting down? They encountered Jiuyou Sage and the devils in the cave where there was the stream. Why didn’t the so-called “millennium covenanter” set up another trap to let them escape safely?

The “millennium covenanter” could do it if he wanted to protect her from harm, and it was easy.

Besides, he could arrange another time to destroy the cave. There was no need to wait for her entrance.

The guy was speculative, fierce and vicious, and would not do so. All arrangements were targeted at Zhang Yunyan herself in order to take her life and thus he would be satisfied.

The so-called “millennium covenanter” was ruthless with evil intentions. He inadvertently let her soul survive. Maybe he could hunt her down in the future.

Yunyan was pondering over and over again, feeling that although these speculations were uncertain, they kind of made sense. She was even more afraid of that master, and wished that he would not pursue her soul again, otherwise there would be no hope for her.

Zhang Yunyan was still thinking about this horrible experience, and she still felt terrified. She didn’t want to recall those thrilling encounters. Either way, her soul finally survived, which gave her a little hope.

Her soul was still there, and it had come to the world. She needed to arrange the things in the future, to live the life that had ended, and to fulfill the mission she had when she was alive.

In the sky, the moon had already fallen down, and the stars were few. It was darker and quieter before dawn.

The crow of a rooster came from a distance, adding a bit of vitality to the dark silence.

Zhang Yunyan looked outside. The Qingshan Village was shrouded in darkness and blurred.

Suddenly, she looked nervous and flustered. She looked around without knowing what to do.

It was almost daylight, and the sun was about to rise. Terrible Yang Qi was going to cover the earth, but her soul could not move or even survive in strong Yang Qi. She must find a dark place to hide, otherwise everything would be hopeless.

Where could she avoid the terrible Yang Qi?

Zhang Yunyan was very anxious, and she immediately thought of the Devil’s Cave on Qinglong Mountain. She looked there and only saw darkness. She immediately realized, shaking her head helplessly and sighed. Although it was good there, it had collapsed and there was nowhere to find.

Besides it, where else could she go?

Yunyan was still eagerly inspecting. All she saw was the dark night.

In the dark, although Yunyan couldn’t see clearly, she was familiar with this place. She knew there was Qingshan Village, fields and woods…

However, these places were full of Yang Qi, and her soul couldn’t escape.

She thought hard. Keeping the soul was her only wish at this moment, and there must be a perfect countermeasure.

Soon, the east side of the sky turned into a grayish color, and then it was gradually dyed reddish. Dawn was coming and early morning would follow.

Zhang Yunyan had been thinking hard, still not knowing where to hide. She was extremely anxious.

She looked at the earth that was gradually clear and felt anxious. Her soul experienced a disastrous catastrophe, and escaped from the “hell” to the world, which was already too hard. Was her soul going to be destroyed by the strong Yang Qi?
