Demon King/The Parting of the Orchid and Cang Chapter 11 part2

Gosh I’ve worked on this late at night so there might be errors. Since a cave is not a popular subject of many watercolor brush (digital or traditional), ancient-style Chinese artworks, let’s just go with winter theme images 😁 I’m not sure if readers notice but I’ve included a time schedule on the sidebar for readers from different areas of the world with the geographic of my readers according to wordpress.

Using power with his soul in a place with an opposing element, Dong Fang Qing Cang was really strong. If today she dealt with Dong Fang Qing Cang in his actual body, Little Orchid was certain— before she can touch Dong Fang Qing Cang's face, she would have been burnt by the flames on his fingers into ashes.

It's fortunate at such a mysterious place she can take a risk with him. Little Orchid was tired and out of breath. She lowered her head to look at her hand that was frozen by the crystal. Enduring the pain, she used her mouth to blow. After blowing on it for quite a while, she suddenly realized a strange matter. Following logic, right now she was only a soul, and cannot touch things in the mortal realm ah. Even if it's a place filled with mysterious energy, it's still a place in the mortal realm. How can she grabbed the two crystals in her hands before…

Little Orchid thought for a bit, had no solution, and so she threw this matter out from her head.

The top priority now was to find Dong Fang Qing Cang's body and crawl back inside it.

Little Orchid went forward for distance, and felt the surroundings dropped several degrees of temperature. She saw a fork and the two paths were scattered with ice crystals she had seen before. Yet, inside one path was purely black. Going two to three steps one can already see the entire darkness and cannot see anything.

Little Orchid was a little unease, but remembered along the way the scenery was like this. There's a saying— if not destroyed cannot build; does not go to a different path then the situation will not move forward.

Little Orchid gritted her teeth, and rubbed her hands as she carefully and solemnly stepped into the darkness.

By only stepping in a dark cave within two steps, Little Orchid has already felt the cold air from inside following outward, howling as if wanting to freeze her.

Rather not go in, Little Orchid secretly wanted to bang the drums to retreat the army*, but if turned back she will meet the big devil who she has angered.

Remembering the fiery flames burning on the back, Little Orchid suddenly felt the cold wind in front was not cold to the bones and the darkness was no longer scary.

After all, ahead is a opportunity to live ah while behind is a path of death.

Little Orchid with courage continued to move forward. Each step has to use the toes to investigate three rounds and then dared to actually step forward. Little Orchid felt that she has went quite far, but looking back, the brilliant frozen crystals were only distant from her by 4-5 zhang (one zhang is 3.33 meters).

Suddenly, Little Orchid heard really far from inside the cave carried the sounds of explosion at this strange place. Besides her and the big devil there was no one here! Such movement must be the big devil trying to destroy! Little Orchid's soul immediately quickened the pace and no longer use the feet to investigate as she headed straight toward the front.

In the cave it was so dark that one cannot see any forks/turns/winding roads. Little Orchid felt that wherever she went she would bump against a wall. After crashing a bit, she completely lost her sense of direction within the darkness. Right now the path to return cannot be seen. The endpoint of this cave was pitch-black to the point of not knowing.

Little Orchid was nervous and scared; helplessly not knowing what to do.

At that time, within the darkness, a sudden surge of extremely strange energy came.

Very faint and very gentle. But Little Orchid was very sure that she did not smell wrong. In a situation where one cannot see and cannot hear, such energy was especially distinct.

Little Orchid attempted to stabilize her mental state, and followed the energy.

Did not know how long, there was light suddenly, and Little Orchid was overjoyed. She quickly followed the direction of the light and went out of the dark cave. The eyes were starting to ache due to the glaring light of the reflected blue crystals. Little Orchid narrowed her eyes a bit to adapt and at that time clearly saw the scenery in the front.

This is a large cave, and was high for at least 20 zhang. The dimensions were even bigger than the palace of Dong Fang Qing Cang's in the demon realm. In the middle position, did not know who used the blue crystals to erect a statue. Little Orchid stepped forward and soon discovered, this is a statue of woman, body wore an armor, held a double-edged sword, and had a valiant and formidable demeanor.

As if she stood here for quite a while, the face was somewhat vague, but the posture of hers was still straight, Drawing in gazes was the icy sword in her hand. Even though the sword was frozen, Little Orchid still felt the assiduous energy of it, as if it can slice the sun and moon, crack mountains and rivers.

Who is that?

Little Orchid did not know this person. Not waiting for her to think of the answer, the cold energy from all four directions aggregate and a white shadow of a person appeared in the air.

"Who has come?"

The heavy tone caused Little Orchid to feel uncomfortable, "I… I am a little flower immortal under Siming Xingjun, and was forced by Dong Fang Qing Cang to come here. I have no intention of disobliging, but the situation between he and I is a bit complicated. Currently, I am trying to find the body of Dong Fang Qing Cang."

The white shadow heard this and was silent for a while, "Dong Fang Qing Cang." It whispered these four words, and then asked, "You want to find this body?"

When it finished speaking, Little Orchid suddenly saw the body of Dong Fang Qing Cang being pulled out from a rock by the white energy. Mountain rocks falling to the ground vibrated heavy sounds. Little Orchid immediately nodded, "Yes yes, it's him."

The white shadow was silent for a bit, "Finally has come in search, now I cannot stop him, but will not allow him to easily mess with General's rest."

Little Orchid heard and mind became confused. Saw the body of Dong Fang Qing Cang bounced up high and Little Orchid became startled. When the body fell down, Little Orchid felt the ground shook and within a blink of the eyes, many Dong Fang Qing Cang's stood up!

Little Orchid was horrified with widen eyes and gaping mouth, "This this this…situation.. what is this situation!"

How how how… how are there so many Dong Fang Qing Cangs!
