There were only two explanations for these people to appear in this place. Either they got the news from Ling Tianyou or his master, or they got the news from other channels.
Normally, the latter was more likely to be the case. However, if that was the case, it was worth pondering what kind of channel was behind it.
After all, this place was too well hidden. Perhaps even Marquis Yu, an official steward of Tai She Island, did not know about it. It was fine if Ling Tianyou and his master accidentally sneaked in, but if this kind of coincidence happened to two different people at the same time, just thinking about it made people shudder.
According to Lin Yi's temperament, since he speculated that there might be something fishy behind this, he naturally had to find a way to figure it out. He immediately stayed where he was and watched the changes. At this distance, he could clearly perceive every move of those people in front of him, but the other party could not perceive him, unless they also had the primordial spirit of the Profound Ascension stage.
There were a total of four people. Their strength was not outstanding among the cultivators who came to Tai Snake Island for the trial, but they were not too weak either. One was at the early Gold Core stage, one was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and the other two were at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Such a strength configuration was more than enough in other ordinary trials in the small Jianghu, but in this Tai Snake Island, it could only be regarded as passable, quite passable.
Even Ling Tianyou and his master were treading on thin ice here, let alone these people in front of them. If they encountered a ferocious spirit beast like the Armor Bone Snake, this group of people would be completely annihilated, and it would be difficult for them to escape.
However, to Lin Yi's surprise, these four people with average strength did not seem to be a group. To be precise, they should have been a group, but at this time, they were just fighting among themselves.
The four people were divided into two groups. The early Gold Core stage and the two peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage formed one group, and the remaining people at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage formed the other group. At this moment, the two sides were confronting each other.
"Chu Tianlu, you didn't expect this day to come, did you?" One of the peak late Foundation Establishment stage masters took the lead and sneered. It seemed that he was the core of the group of three. Even the early Gold Core stage master was standing behind him, like a follower.
"Why?" The face of the young man called Chu Tianlu was filled with shock and fury. Obviously, he'd never imagined that he would suddenly fall to such a state. As far as he was concerned, the three people in front of him weren't irreconcilable enemies at all. Even if they occasionally didn't get along, it was far from to the point where they would fight to the death. After all, the three of them were from the same clan and clan!
Especially this Chu Tianliang who was standing in front of him. He had an extremely close blood relationship with him, and they were true cousins. In terms of status, they were both the direct descendants of the Chu Clan's patriarch. Moreover, they had played together since childhood, and their relationship in the past was quite good. It was only in recent years that they had become somewhat estranged. How could they have fallen to such a state?
"Why?" Hearing this, Chu Tianliang immediately laughed, and said with a mocking expression, "My dear cousin, do you really not know why? I remember that you were always very clever when you were young. Every time Grandpa inspected us juniors, you were always the one who was praised. Now that you're in this situation, you can still ask such an idiotic question. Where did your clever brain go? "
Chu Tianlu was silent for a moment, and slowly said, "For the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit?"
As the saying goes, people die for wealth, and birds die for food. Killing and robbing people of their treasures had always been the norm in the cultivation world, especially in front of a legendary rare treasure like the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit. Even brothers falling out and becoming enemies was a very normal thing, not to mention that he and Chu Tianliang were not biological brothers, but only cousins separated by a layer of blood.
"Speaking of this, we still have to thank you. If you hadn't jumped down on a whim, we wouldn't have been able to find such a good place, let alone the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit." Chu Tianliang and the other two looked at each other and smiled. This cave was so hidden that even Lin Yi would find it difficult to find it by searching with his divine sense, let alone them.
Lin Yi's heart moved slightly when he heard this, and his attention fell on Chu Tianlu. A whim …
If it was like last time when Ling Tianyou and the others were chased by the Armored Bone Snake to the point of no return, it would be fine. Which normal person would suddenly have the idea of jumping into the sea? What the hell was this Chu Tianlu?
"But we haven't even found the shadow of the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit yet. Isn't it too early to fall out with me?" Chu Tianlu asked in reply. He was not a fool. If he had truly discovered the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit, he would definitely be on guard against the other party. However, Chu Tianliang was actually impatient to make a move against him at this time. This was truly beyond his expectations.
"Hehe, my dear cousin, you are really naive to ask such a question. Is there really no problem with your brain?" Chu Tianliang continued to ridicule, his face full of a sense of superiority due to his superior IQ. He sneered, "If I find the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit, of course I will fall out with you, but even without the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit, with the relationship between us, aren't we already destined to be irreconcilable enemies?"
"I don't understand." Chu Tianlu shook his head calmly. He asked himself honestly. Ever since he was a child, he had always treated this cousin Chu Tianliang quite well. Even if they became a little cold and estranged because of their different views in the past two years, it was far from becoming enemies. How could they be irreconcilable enemies?
"Hmph, you are really slow. Fine, seeing that you took care of me a little when I was a child, I will be merciful and let you die knowing. Let me give you a hint. Ye Ling Sect's Duanmu Yu." Chu Tianliang snorted coldly.
Duanmu Yu? Hearing this name, Lin Yi could not help but be surprised. He thought that this was a common case of infighting. For the sake of a heavenly treasure like the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit, countless killings would take place every day, whether it was the Heavenly Island or the small Ancient Jianghu. He never thought that there would be Duanmu Yu here!
"What do you mean?" Chu Tianlu still seemed confused.
"Heh, do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know? Our Chu Clan will soon be connected by marriage with the Ye Ling Sect! The old monster of the Ye Ling Sect is seriously injured, and everyone knows that he won't be able to hold on for long. Grandfather just happens to be a new old monster of the Nascent Soul stage, and our Chu Clan's foundation is far from comparable to those traditional sects. If we can't find someone to rely on as soon as possible, not only will Grandfather, a new old monster of the Nascent Soul stage, not be able to lead the Chu Clan to a meteoric rise, he might even bring about a disaster. After all, our Chu Clan has many enemies, and they definitely won't sit by and watch the Chu Clan rise. The Ye Ling Sect is in urgent need of a new old monster of the Nascent Soul stage.
