CHAPTER 1353: CHAPTER 595: ASHI LUO’S RESURRECTION! YIN JI’S DESTINY!

"Borrow soldiers? Borrow five thousand Centaur cavalry?" Xie Li Khan wanted to laugh. Who was this lowly Near-Human Tribesman? How dare he think to command a powerful Centaur Khan?

Lanling said, "Does your son not measure up to a battle?"

Xie Li Khan pondered for a long time and said, "Alright, it’s a deal. As long as you help me find my son, I’ll lend you five thousand Centaur cavalry."

This was the promise belonging to the ninety-nine percent, casually said and treated as mere wind.

Lanling said, "It’s a deal!"

Xie Li Khan said, "Now, you should tell me the whereabouts of my son."

Lanling said, "A year ago, your son was training outside and met a woman from the Witch Kingdom!"

"Witch Kingdom?" Xie Li Khan’s eyes grew distant, all the majesty and intimidation on his face were wiped clean, as if he was immersed in some intoxicating memory.

Witch Kingdom!

The smallest and most mysterious among the eight Demon King realms of the Southern Barbaric Lands.

This kingdom only had women, no men!

The women of this kingdom had the most beautiful faces and devilish bodies, their beauty beyond description by any words.

The women of this kingdom only birthed daughters. They did not need men, but only had to consume the magical water of their land’s wells to become pregnant.

Thus, the people of this kingdom were revered as the daughters of the Demon God, gradually gaining the name Witch Kingdom.

The Witch Kingdom kept itself secluded, residing in a mirage within an endless desert. Outsiders could never find their kingdom.

Outsiders could not enter, and the Witch Kingdom’s people would not come out.

Their sole mission in life was to cultivate martial arts.

Therefore, although the population of the Witch Kingdom was not large, they were extraordinarily powerful.

Clearly, this Xie Li Khan had once seen the beauty of women from the Witch Kingdom, and even now could not forget it.

"Continue!" Xie Li Khan said.

Lanling said, "Upon seeing the beauty of the Witch Kingdom, your son was immediately spellbound, forgetting his training and following closely!"

Xie Li Khan’s face flushed red because he too had once had such an experience.

Lanling continued, "At first, the beauty of the Witch Kingdom could bear it, advising kindly to ask the men following her to leave. Many men, unable to bear seeing her sadness, reluctantly left. Only your son continued to pursue relentlessly and was consequently led into the depths of a mystical cave!"

"A mystical cave? Black Ghost Old Demon’s lair?" Xie Li Khan trembled as he spoke.

The Black Ghost Old Demon was arguably the most terrifying demon within a thousand miles.

It had lived for at least several thousand years, once a general under the Ghost King three thousand years ago. After the Ghost King died and the Ghost King Empire turned to dust, many generals from the empire wandered to this place to claim land as kings.

The Black Ghost Old Demon occupied a mystical cave here, lording over it and creating various alluring illusions to trap passersby into entering the cave, where he would then drain them of their essence.

Over the years, the number of Demon Race and Barbarian Tribes who entered the mystical cave and were drained of their essence was countless. Gradually, the cave became the most terrifying area, and the Black Ghost Old Demon the most frightening monster.

It was said that anyone entering the mystical cave would fall into its Spiritual Illusion, doomed to certain death, regardless of their strength in martial arts.

How did Lanling know that Xie Li Khan’s son was taken into the cave by the Witch?

Because a Spiritual Illusion slave of the Mirror Demon King had witnessed everything. He was also one of the many men entranced by the Witch, and after the Witch grew fed up with all these persistent men, she led them into the mystical cave.

This man understood the danger of the mystical cave; fear overcame lust in him, and he escaped narrowly.

Therefore, he was an eyewitness to Xie li the Second following the Witch into the mystical cave.

"Is he dead?" Xie Li Khan asked.

Lanling shook his head and said, "I don’t know. Perhaps he’s dead, perhaps not."

Rumors had it that no one who entered the mystical cave could survive, no matter how strong they were in martial arts, as martial arts were of no use therein.

Xie Li Khan looked coldly at Lanling and said, "You mean I must enter the mystical cave to find my son? How do I know you’re not an enemy trying to ensnare me?"

Lanling lightly replied, "Because I will accompany you into the cave to rescue your son."

Xie Li Khan was stunned, "Why? Why would you do such a thing?"

Lanling said, "This is a guidance from a dream!"

Xie Li Khan fixed his gaze on Lanling for a long while. Though this humble Near-Human Tribesman had decent martial arts, he could easily crush him.

Then he began to hesitate. If his son truly entered the mystical cave, should he go to the rescue?

The legend of the mystical cave was frightfully terrifying.

In the past few years, no one who entered the cave had ever survived, all drained of their blood and essence by the Black Ghost Old Demon.

No matter how high one’s martial prowess was, it was useless, for before one could even see the enemy, they would already be dead.

"I must go and save my son. I, the King of Centaurs, how can I harbor fear?"

"I am the bravest and strongest Xie Li Khan, protected and illuminated in the sky by the great Moon Demon God. How can I retreat? If I backed down, what qualification would I have to be Khan of the Centaurs?"

"How can I be the same as those lowly races? They enter the mystical cave and die, but I have the ability to crush that Black Wind Old Demon!"
