Chapter 218 The Calm Before the Storm
Shen Yue's hands were still clenched into fists, the light of the shadow stone had dimmed, but the emotions in her eyes were surging like the tide.
She had just witnessed Uncle Yun's thrilling past, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings, including admiration for Uncle Yun's indomitable spirit and deep sympathy for the suffering he had endured.
Shen Yue's lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something, but in the end it just turned into a low sigh.
He Zhiyao stood beside Shen Yue, her eyes were deep and calm, as if she could see into people's hearts.
She looked at Shen Yue quietly, without saying a word, but conveyed her understanding and support with her eyes.
However, when the heavy and powerful footsteps of several elders were heard in the distance, his eyes instantly became alert.
"Hurry, we have to hide."
He Zhiyao said in a low voice, his voice calm and decisive.
Shen Yue came to her senses immediately after hearing this. She nodded, and the two of them quickly took action.
They moved quietly to a secluded corner of the house. Shen Yue hid behind a screen, sticking close to the wall, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.
He Zhiyao hid behind a tall bookshelf. She leaned her head out slightly, looked through the gaps in the bookshelf, and vigilantly observed the movements outside the house.
The elders' voices gradually became clearer, and their conversation echoed outside the door with an unquestionable majesty.
Shen Yue and He Zhiyao both held their breath, afraid of making the slightest sound and attracting the attention of the elders.
"I heard there's been some progress with the demon clan?"
The voice of an elder was deep and powerful, and there was a sense of urgency in his words.
"Yes, we have found possible clues."
Another elder replied, a hint of excitement in his voice.
Shen Yue's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up. She clenched her fists tightly, digging her nails into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
She knew that the clues the elders mentioned were likely related to Uncle Yun's return, and she and He Zhiyao might be the key.
However, at this moment, the elders' voices suddenly stopped, as if they had noticed something.
The moment the elders' voices suddenly stopped, Shen Yue and He Zhiyao's hearts were in their throats.
They looked at each other nervously, thinking that their whereabouts had been discovered.
However, at this moment, a black cat with shiny fur suddenly jumped lightly from the bookcase, making a soft "meow" sound, which instantly attracted the attention of the elders.
"Huh? Where did the cat come from?"
An elder said in surprise, with a hint of doubt in his voice.
"Maybe he ran out from some room. Never mind. Let's continue."
Another elder replied disapprovingly, his voice regaining its previous authority.
Shen Yue and He Zhiyao listened to the conversation between the elders and felt secretly relieved.
They knew that the sudden appearance of the cat had successfully covered their tracks, allowing them to continue eavesdropping.
Then, the elders turned their topic back to Uncle Yun.
"Uncle Yun, is he really the key to destroying the demon world?"
There was a hint of uncertainty in the voice of one of the elders.
"That's right. According to the intelligence we received, the demon world holds a secret that can destroy the demon world's power. Being captured by the demons and thrown into the black mire can be considered a blessing in disguise."
Another elder answered affirmatively, with a hint of determination in his voice.
Shen Yue and He Zhiyao couldn't help but feel surprised when they heard what the elders said.
"So what should we do now?"
An elder asked, a hint of urgency in his voice.
"We need to find Uncle Yun and make sure he returns to us safely. Only then can we use what he knows to completely destroy the Demon World."
