That sound spread out along with the slight wind in the tunnel and should be 20 miles away. Who knows how many explosive talismans were used to open up the path to give out such a huge sound.
The speed at which they moved over was also really quick. In just an instant, they were close to a thousand feet.
Zong Shou's expression didn't change, he was still calm as he quietly waited for the Darkness Blooming Cereus in front of him to wither.
The last bit of petals also withered. Within the heart of the flower, there were finally 3 strawberry-like black fruits that slowly reached out.
Just as these 3 fruits were about to fall to the ground, Zong Shou caught them.
The Darkness Blooming Cereus was poisonous, but these spiritual fruits weren't. Instead, they were fragrant and the color was tempting.
When Zong Shou received them, he immediately placed them into a porcelain bottle. Then, without hesitation, he used 2 spells to reduce the sound and smell, bringing Chu Xue to turn around and leave.
However, just as they walked 5-6 miles, before they even got close to the deep hole that he opened up, the voices from before were already inches away. Another branch of the tunnel that had been washed out by the underground stream was rapidly approaching. It was less than two li away from them.
Hearing the footsteps get closer and closer, Zong Shou's brows furrowed. Then, he felt helpless.
With the speed of these people, they wouldn't be able to avoid them even if they wanted to. If they continued like this, they would be noticed sooner or later.
Those auras that were getting closer didn't try to hide at all. There were many experts amongst them. Apart from a few Xiantian Realm experts, there were even Out of Body Realm spirit masters and martial ancestors.
At this moment, he had such a huge treasure on him, so coming into contact with them wasn't a wise choice.
Looking around, Zong Shou had an idea. He looked up and saw that there was a natural depression in the dome.
Thinking about it seriously, Zong Shou once again used a Sound Ending Technique and a Spirit Silencing Talisman. It caused the spiritual energy fluctuations and sounds to be temporarily silent. Then, he grabbed Chu Xue and headed towards the dome. As for the three stone puppets, they were climbing up the mountain. He inserted his hands and feet into the soil above him. 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 hidden themselves and concealed their auras. From the hidden gap that was purposely left open, he saw a group of people walking over from the other side.
The two people at the front were clad in heavy armor and looked like generals. Their footsteps were heavy, but they were both Innate Experts.
After the two of them, there was another middle-aged man. He wore a green robe, and there were faint black spirit tattoos on his hands and neck. Looking at the pattern, it seemed to be a spirit array that extended all the way to his cheeks.
A blue flame hung above his head, illuminating the cave as if it was daytime, but it also gave off a gloomy aura.
Beside him was an old man in his fifties. His hair was dark red, and his eyes seemed to contain electricity. He gave off a valiant bandit aura.
Behind them were twenty nine meridian Mythic Masters. There was also a group of people who looked to be in a sorry state being dragged along by these Martial Masters with chains.
Most of them had the characteristics of beasts, to varying degrees. Some had beast ears, some had beast tails, and some had thick hair. However, all of them were covered in wounds, and only had some broken footprints to cover their bodies. Their hands and feet were all shackled. Some of the more muscular ones had steel nails that pierced through their joints and bones, and some directly broke their tendons and tendons.
Most of them could only use their hands and feet to barely keep up. If they were slightly slower, they would be whipped by the Mythic Masters.
Chu Xue's body instantly tensed up. Zong Shou's brows also furrowed. These people who were shackled were all from the Monster Race.
Following which he turned his gaze to the few people in front of him. Those two Xiantian Masters weren't worth paying attention to.
Not only could they not compare to Hundred Thousand Blood Killer Li Yaling, but they were also far from Deceitful Sword Ren Qianchou and the others.
At most, they were on the same level as that old man surnamed Mi from Blood Spirit Valley Demon Corpse Mountain.
Only that martial ancestor expert and the spirit master needed to pay attention to them. The former's aura was intense and stable, and his vital energy was strong. His martial path had obviously reached a certain level.
As for that spirit master, he definitely came from a famous sect, or his teacher was an expert in the world.
The spiritual formation on his body obviously came from a spirit master above the Day Wandering Realm. Drawing the God Talisman on his body, once he reached the Night Wandering Realm, he would be able to grasp a certain amount of God Talisman spells.
This was similar to the God Talisman Spirit Seed left by the Lingyun Ancestor. However, the latter's methods were much better.
As for drawing the God Talisman on his body, unless it was someone he trusted and close to, he definitely couldn't do it! If it wasn't his teacher, it would be his family.
These two people weren't easy to deal with. The twenty Mythic Masters behind them all moved as one, and their weapons and armor were all elite.
That day he was able to kill Li Yaling, but he didn't have much confidence in dealing with these people.
The middle-aged spirit master had just walked out of the fork in the road when he suddenly stopped and looked around suspiciously.
That old man also stopped, his face filled with anticipation, "Mister Mingjue, why did you stop? Did you notice something?"
Mingjue shook his head, still looking around carefully. A moment later, he shook his head, "Maybe it's just my imagination, but the spiritual energy changes here seem a little unnatural. At this fork, where the energy flow intersects, it's a little too silent … "
That old man was slightly disappointed, following which he was deep in thought, "Speaking of which, I used my spiritual sense to sense and felt that this place wasn't right. Then, I used my spiritual sense to sense it. Apart from the silence of spiritual energy, there wasn't anything abnormal. It most likely formed naturally. Looking at the distribution of the mind stones here, it seems a little rare. "
Mingjue didn't clear up his doubts, his brows still tightly furrowed, like he was stretching out his spiritual sense to sweep around. Then, the old man's tone changed, and he said emotionally, "But this time, it's all thanks to Mister Mingjue. If it wasn't for Mister Mingjue's Blood Origin Finger Spirit Technique, I would have died. If you didn't use the God Talisman Spirit Qi Technique, I would have been fooled and thought that this place really only had a small Grade One Mine. Hehe, no wonder that Shi Lianhai would spend so much effort to fight with me. They have mobilized more than five hundred thousand soldiers and invited dozens of Innate Masters to attack my Fenghua City! This time I really have to thank Mister Mingjue … "
Hearing those words, Mingjue was a little distracted, smiling reservedly, "There's no need to thank me. Our Demon Flag Sect isn't helping the city lord for nothing. As long as city lord Dou remembers the agreement from before! "
Sōmorime's eyes flashed. Since this old man who called himself Dou Lingzhen was the city lord of Fenghua City, then the Shi Lianhai he spoke of was definitely the city lord of Lianhai City.
This Demon Flag Sect had some background. Although it wasn't as strong as the ten shrines and nineteen spiritual houses, its sect strength wasn't weak. The few spiritual lands it occupied added together were no weaker than the last few out of the nineteen spiritual houses. The sect also had a few body forming spirit masters and grandmaster level experts.
However, this sect was one of the most authentic demon sects.
Dou Lingzhen laughed out loud, showing a forthright and straightforward intent, "Of course! This mind stone mine should be above grade 2, a medium grade mine. In the future, all the production will be split 80: 20. Fenghua City will take 20, your Demon Flag Sect will take 80! We won't go back on our words. However, that Lianhai City and the Hidden Sword Villa behind it still need your sect to help me force them back. "
The last few sentences were obviously filled with probing intent. Mingjue scoffed coldly, not knowing whether to agree or disagree. He suddenly grabbed out with his hand, grabbing a few monster race members with tiger stripes in front of him. A few claw chains shot out from his sleeves, grabbing and lifting, breaking open their skulls. Within their brains, there seemed to be blood-colored bugs twisting and turning.
Mingjue used a spell and the heads of these few monster race members instantly burned with blood flames. All of a sudden, the entire hole was filled with painful cries.
In just a moment, the blood flames spread all over their bodies. In Ming Jue's hand, there was a ball of blood light that circled around his palm.
A few breaths later, Mingjue's eyes were filled with disappointment, "Weird, I checked before and the ore core was nearby. However, after using the Blood Essence Finger Spirit Technique several times, I still can't determine the direction. "
He looked behind him, worry flashed across his brows, "There aren't many materials left, at most I can cast it twice. If I can't find it, I can only give up. "
Dou Lingzhen's brows furrowed, "If mister needs blood spirits, there are many starving people outside of Fenghua City who have no way to survive. Just let mister use them … "
"I will accept City Lord Dou's good intentions! However, my Blood Essence Finger Spirit Technique isn't so simple. "
Mingjue shook his head expressionlessly, "The blood spirit sacrifices this technique requires must have a certain cultivation. The stronger the spiritual nature of the material, the more effective it is. This is why these monster race members are the best. These people have merged with the bloodline of ancient god beasts and are preserved perfectly. Using them to cast the technique is the best choice! "
"So that's the case!" Dou Lingzhen was enlightened, and then broke out into a laugh, "Speaking of which, these monster race members are really amusing. They don't want to be good people, but they want to work with those beasts and merge with the essence blood of god beasts. Aren't they no different from animals? Even their personalities are similar to those beasts, violent and barbaric. Speaking of which, I have always found it weird why the sects don't work together to wipe out these monsters … "
Before he finished, the Mythic Masters around all burst out into laughter, filled with mocking intent.
Chu Xue's body was already trembling when she heard that, unable to control herself, and at this moment she nearly exploded from rage. Her eyes were filled with flames, but also some sadness and helplessness.
Zong Shou was also silent. Based on the records, during the Cloud Desolate Era, the ancient human race didn't have an advantage. Numerous beasts roamed the Cloud Desolate Era, and there were also alien races that invaded.
During the early stages of the Cloud Desolate Era, the human race was nearly wiped out. Some of the human experts weren't willing to die, so they merged with the essence blood of various god beasts, barely turning the situation around.
After tens of generations, the descendants of these people, as well as the experts that joined in, had billions of casualties. Only then did the human race become the ruler. (To be continued.
