Chapter 304 – Competition
At some point, the middle-aged cultivator had descended from the sky above the stone forest. The formations and restrictions that could cause even Adept Realm Cultivator’s expression to change did not show any signs of being touched as he casually walked towards the center of the building.
“Humph, they are all ants to the left and right. Killing them would alert the enemy, so we will leave them alive for now. However, junior sister may leave behind her inheritance before she passes on, but regarding the secret of the sect, we cannot reveal it!”
The last protective needle in the center of the stone forest seemed to have no effect on this person, so he rushed straight towards a small stone hall. The stone hall was opened on top of a huge stone pillar, and the entrance to the stone hall was covered by a layer of light that flickered with runes.
There was a spiral stone staircase at the back of the stone palace. The cultivator slowly walked up and at the end of the stone staircase was a closed stone door.
The cultivator suddenly let out a sigh and muttered to himself, “Junior apprentice sister, in a flash, we will meet again in this manner for hundreds of years!”
As the cultivator waved his hand, the stone door suddenly opened on its own amidst the rumbling sound without the slightest trace of momentum.
Behind the stone door was a stone bed. On top of the stone bed, there waall, bun, graceful, and elegant looking woman who was in closed door cultivation. Behind the stone door was a stone bed, on top of the stone bed, there was a tall, bun, with a graceful, graceful, and elegant looking woman in closed door cultivation.
The moment the cultivator saw the girl, he stood there blankly without moving an inch. Only his sleeves were slightly shaking, indicating that his heart was not as calm as it seemed.
After a long while, another long sigh could be heard, “Junior Sister, why did you do that back then? For someone who has been expelled, you would rather leave the sect and die in this desolate place!”
The past events seemed to be swirling in his mind. Not only did he not forget those several hundred years of time, he even sealed the memories hidden deep within his heart, making it so that when this scene appeared again, even those hundred years ago in his heart, were unable to control it.
With junior sister’s potential, if you focus on cultivation, your achievements today might not necessarily be comparable to your brother’s. In the future, you might not even be able to live a carefree life, at least you might have hundreds or even thousands of years to live. It was love that hurt. I deeply regret that I did not grind that person’s bones to dust back then. Even Junior Sister went astray! ”
“Hehe, several hundred years ago, the love you two had for each other has been great. Today, it’s only a cup of yellow soil, but I, your brother, am already an elder of the sect. The glory of a few hundred years ago had now settled in? “I am the one who laughed the last time, you are all wrong, you are all wrong!”
The more the cultivator spoke, the more excited he became, and his expression seemed to become uncontrollable. Following his mood fluctuation, the spirit energy in the stone hall suddenly became chaotic, a huge amount of spirit energy was being absorbed and exhaled from the inside of the stone hall, and even the door of the stone hall was directly flipped open. The two huge stone doors that weighed ovehousand jin fell to the ground, creating a dull sound.
Spiritual Master Chen Ji and Spiritual Master Lang Gu, who had to join hands once again in order to break the formation, were startled by this sudden commotion. The two of them, who were originally on guard against each other, simultaneously looked at each other, but afterwards, no sound came out.
After the middle-aged cultivator finished speaking, he seemed to spit out all the depressed feelings that he had imprinted in his heart for many years, causing his spirit to immediately feel refreshed, his mind immediately calming down. When he looked at the corpse of the female cultivator sitting on the stone bed, there was no sadness left, instead, there was a faint smile on his face, like ridicule.
“You can’t just let your corpse fall into someone else’s hands. Even though you’ve left the sect on your own, the sect still views you as a disciple. Just follow me!”
A jade bottle appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the middle-aged cultivator’s hands, he threw the jade bottle upwards, and the lifelike female cultivator’s corpse suddenly turned into dust, which was absorbed into the jade bottle, leaving only a small golden silk lotus bag on the stone bed. It was obviously a storage bag.
The black bag seemed to once again bring back some memories of the cultivator. With a cold snort, he extended his hand and sucked in the air, and before the black bag could fall into his hands, it was already burnt up. There were a few items scattered inside, but with a sudden flick of his sleeve, the items that fell from the black bag disappeared.
The middle-aged cultivator turned around and glanced back at the stone room before turning around and walking out of the stone hall. As he walked, his back looked more and more illusory, as if he was swaying in the water until the ripples dispersed and he disappeared.
And at this time, in the entire underground cave, whether it was the Martial Realm Cultivator s who had yet to evacuate or the two Adept Realm Cultivator s who were working hard to remove the protection array in the middle of the stone forest, neither of them had yet to see that someone had already quietly entered the core area of the cave before everyone. In fact, even everyone in the cave had walked through the gates of hell without knowing it.
At this time, Yang Junshan and Yan Qinxi were hiding behind a stone pillar tens of meters away from the Scarlet Essence Fruit Tree, secretly sizing up the situation around them.
“There has indeed been a chaotic battle here. However, the traces of destruction no longer extend after approaching 30 feet of the Scarlet Essence Fruit Tree. Obviously, the range of the restrictions protecting the fruit tree is 30 feet!”
Yan Qinxi spoke unhappily from behind him: “I asked for your help to find a loyal uncle, and not because of this Scarlet Essence Fruit Tree. Can it be that you and I can break through that seal? Even if it’s broken, the people who are hiding in the vicinity will let us dig up the fruit tree? ”
Yang Junshan chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, Senior Yan is fine. He has already escaped!”
“How do you know?” Yan Qinxi asked, but her expression was joyous.
Yang Junshan also did not explain, but only said: “If you have sufficient experience, you can reach the same conclusion as me.”
Yan Qinxi saw that he had said something and no longer explained. Yan Qinxi could not help but become angry: “What are you pretending to be mysterious for, what’s so great about it. You speak in an aged manner, you’re only a few years older than me!”
Although her tone was filled with dissatisfaction, she no longer held any doubt towards Yang Junshan.
“Then what should we do next?”
Yang Junshan glanced at her, and said: “If I were you, since I have already confirmed that Senior Yan is fine, I would immediately leave the underground cave and meet up with him.”
Yan Qinxi blinked her eyes and said: “Then what about you, don’t tell me you plan on waiting for me to leave before thinking of a way to dig this spirit tree out!”
Yang Junshan’s face turned slightly red, he really had that intention, but he said it out loud: “What a joke, there are at least three Perfection of the cultivator lying in ambush nearby, I want to die!”
Yan Qinxi’s suspicious eyes continued to look around on Yang Junshan’s face, causing her to feel uncomfortable. Just as Yang Junshan was about to get angry from embarrassment, Yan Qinxi suddenly shifted her gaze away and heard her surprised voice: “Look, who is that!”
Yang Junshan carefully peeked his head out from behind the pillar upon hearing the voice. He saw a young man about his own age, holding a Go board in one hand and pointing with the other, both of them walking towards the Scarlet Fruit Tree beside him. Who else could it be other than Xiong Xizhe?
As for the three people beside him, other than Xiong Xiying, there were two other people dressed in clothes. It was also the habit of the Yuxian, so could it be that they were the other cultivators that entered the Five Elements Great Array s in the Heaven-Shaken Sect?
Moreover, with the help of Xiong Xizhe, the formation master, they had the possibility of breaking through the protective barrier and obtaining this spirit tree.
“Were there any of these four people who ambushed you?” Yang Junshan asked in a low voice.
Yan Qinxi gave a low laugh, and said: “No, I’m afraid there’s going to be a good show to watch next!”
“Xiong Xizhe should have discovered it early!”
Just as Yang Junshan’s voice fell, he saw Xiong Xizhe’s feet paused, his face full of panic as he roared. The faces of the three cultivators around him immediately changed, and they all started to move.
Right at that moment, three rays of light suddenly appeared from three different directions.
Xiong Xiying pulled Xiong Xizhe behind him, and then, with a swing of his hand, a cold ray of light shot out from his sleeve, colliding with the ray of light that was shot towards him. An ear-piercing clanging sound of metals clashing rang out, and the two rays of light separated.
At the same time, Xiong Xiying made her move, the other two people who were with him also made their moves, stopping the remaining two beams of light. However, these two people each let out a groan and retreated two steps, obviously not only were they at a disadvantage in the previous strike, they even suffered internal injuries.
“The strength of those two injured people aren’t enough, they only possess the cultivation of the fourth stage of the martial arts realm!”
A pearl that flickered with a faint spirit light flashed in Yan Qinxi’s hand, but still spoke with an extremely assured tone.
However, Yang Junshan did not doubt Yan Qinxi’s judgement. He pondered for a moment and said: “It seems like it’s because after the Five Elements Great Array was weakened, the light barrier outside the stone forest was also weakened by a lot.
At this time, the three Perfection of the cultivator s who were lying in ambush had already come out from their hiding spots, surrounding Xiong Xiying and the other two from different directions. The two cultivators who were with Xiong Xiying tried their best to resist, but Xiong Xiying’s strength was much higher than the person who was fighting him head-on, but she had to split her attention to take care of the other two directions.
Yan Qinxi suddenly whispered: “Then do you think it’s possible for us to be fishermen?”
Yang Junshan glanced at her, then said: “I’m actually worried that they might join hands!”
