C131 (1/2)
Accompanied by the Daoist's voice, a series of tight explosions resounded in the cave along with a gust of wind. The sound should still be more than twenty miles away. It was unknown how many Explosive Talismans had been used to clear the way, resulting in such a loud vibration.
The speed at which they were advancing towards those people was extremely fast. In just a few breaths of time, they had already approached a distance of three hundred meters. It seemed that they would be able to find this place in less than an hour.
Qin Lie's expression changed slightly, but he still maintained his calm, and waited slowly for the Dark Epiphyllum before him to wither. Even the last petal was withered and withered. In the center of the flower, there were finally three strawberry like black fruits that stuck out bit by bit. Just as the three Black Ephemeral Fruits were about to fall to the ground, Qin Lie caught them.
According to the ancient records, the outer leaves of the Dark Epiphyllum contained a strong poison that could kill anyone who touched it. However, the spirit fruit that it had formed naturally did not contain any trace of poison. On the contrary, it was fragrant and the color was alluring.
Qin Lie swiftly received it, immediately took out his spatial pouch, and carefully placed it into a jade bottle. Then, without hesitation, he used two spirit techniques specifically to eliminate the sound and smell, and turned around and left with Duan Yun. It was just that they had only walked five or six miles, and they were not even close to the deep pit he had opened. The voices from before were already close at hand. Another branch of the underground river came rushing out. It was only two miles away.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Qin Lie raised his eyebrows, then felt helpless.
With the speed of these people, it was impossible to avoid them. If he continued like this, he would be discovered sooner or later.
None of the auras that were approaching had been hidden. There were many experts amongst them. Other than a few Sky-high Fighter s, there were even Soul Mirror Realm s and Profound Arts Master s.
It was obviously even more unwise for him to come into contact with such a treasure now that he possessed it.
Looking around, Qin Lie suddenly had a thought. Looking up, there was a natural depression in the ceiling.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Lie once again used a [Absolute Sound Technique] and a [Terminator Spirit Rune]. It caused the ripples and sounds of the Spiritual Energy to temporarily die down. Then, he grabbed Duan Yun up and down the dome. As for the three stone puppets, they were climbing upwards. He inserted his hands and feet into the soil and rocks at the top. After that, their bodies changed. In just a short moment, they were no different from ordinary granite, firmly covering their figures.
The two of them had just finished concealing their presence. He saw a group of people coming from another corner through the hidden gap that had been deliberately set aside.
The two people at the forefront wore heavy iron armor all over their bodies, as if they were martial generals. Their steps were extremely heavy, but they carried Heavenly Completion Stage.
After the two of them, there was another middle-aged man. Dressed in a green robe, there were faint black Spirit Patterns on both his hands and neck. Looking at the pattern, it seemed to be a Spiritual Array that extended all the way to his face.
A blue-colored flame was suspended above his head, illuminating the entire cave as though it was daytime. However, it also emitted a gloomy and sinister aura.
Beside this person was an old man in his fifties. His hair was dark red, and his eyes seemed to be filled with electricity, giving off a valiant aura.
Behind these people, there were twenty ninth stage Black Tortoise cultivators. Another group of people, who looked to be in a sorry state, were being dragged along by chains.
Most of them had Demon Beast characteristics on their bodies, which varied in degree. Some had beast ears, others had beast tails, and some had thick fur. However, all of them were riddled with wounds, and only had some broken steps to cover their bodies. Her hands and feet were shackled. Some of the taller ones even had steel nails that pierced through the joints and tendons of their hands and feet.
Most of them could only be kept up to the point that they could barely keep up. If their speed were to be slightly slower, they would be forcefully whipped by the Martial Cultivator s.
Duan Yun's body tensed up immediately. Qin Lie also frowned, the people who were shackled were all at Demon Clan.
Then, his gaze shifted to the few people in front of him. The two Sky-high Fighter s didn't have anything worth noting.
Not only could he not compare to Li Xieling, even compared to 'Sly Sword' Jiang Yichen and the rest, he was still far inferior.
At most, he would be on the same level as that old man Zhu from the Demon Corpse Mountain of the Blood Spirit Valley.
Only that Nirvana Stage and Profound Arts Master needed to be paid a little attention. The former's qi and blood was fierce and stable, and his martial arts had reached a certain level.
The Spiritual Array on his body evidently originated from the hands of the Profound Arts Master above the Sun Tour. If the Heavenly Talisman was drawn on the body, once it entered the realm of nocturnal travel, one could grasp a certain amount of Immortal Talisman spirit arts in advance.
This was similar to the Immortal Talisman spirit seed that Ancestor Ling Yun had left behind, but the latter's methods were much more profound.
The two of them were not easy to deal with. The twenty Myriad Profound Stage Cultivator s behind them moved in unison.
That day, he was able to kill Li Xieling, but he did not have much confidence to deal with the encirclement of these people.
The middle-aged Profound Arts Master had just walked out of the fork in the road, when he suddenly stopped and looked around in confusion.
That old man also stopped right after, his face full of expectation: ”Why did Mr. Mingshu stop? Did he discover something?”
Ming Jue shook his head and continued to observe closely. After a while, he shook his head and said: ”It might be my misconception. The change in the Spiritual Energy here seems a little unnatural. ”At this fork in the road, where the air currents meet, it is truly too quiet …”
The old man was slightly disappointed, but he continued to think: ”Speaking of which, when I sensed the Spiritual Sense, I also felt that there was something wrong here. After that, when he used his spiritual will to scan the place, other than the silence of the Spiritual Energy, there was nothing else abnormal. Most likely it was formed naturally, looking at the distribution of Spiritual Stone here, it seems to be a little sparse. ”
That resolution did not fully dispel the doubts in his heart. His brows were still tightly knitted, as if he was stretching out his consciousness and sweeping around in all directions. Following that, he heard the old man's tone change as he sighed, ”However, this time, it was truly Mr Jue's fault. If it wasn't for Mister using the Blood Yuan Finger technique. I, Han Yan, was almost kept in the dark, and almost thought that this place really only had a small-scale rank 1 mine. Hehe, no wonder that Huangfu Cheng would put so much capital in order to compete with me. With the combined force of more than five hundred thousand soldiers, several dozen The Mighty Ones of The Sky s were invited to attack my True Sun City! ”This time, I really have to thank Mr. Ming Deng--”
After hearing that, Ming Yi became more relaxed and smiled reservedly: ”There is no need to thank me. Our Devil Flag Sect is not helping Mayor for nothing. As long as Mayor Dou is still able to remember the discussions from before! ”
