Ling Xiao walked at the back of the group, making it easier for him to observe the situation of the group.
Fairy Ling Long walked in the middle of the group, the stern-faced cultivator standing guard beside her.
Not only that, but this woman was also surrounded by cultivators at the Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer or above, like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon.
Fairy Ling Long did not seem to feel that this was inappropriate.
In Sha Family Castle, she had always been the high and mighty Queen, so these people willing to protect her and follow her was a very normal thing in her eyes.
She was beautiful, and even a smile from her was enough to drive many men crazy.
She had a special ability that could easily heal the injuries of cultivators, causing them to respect her greatly.
She was also strong, a peak Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer cultivator, and although she was not very strong, she was still one of the strongest cultivators in Sha Family Castle.
In addition, she also had an extremely powerful Martial Spirit, and if she wanted to, she could easily defeat a Transcendent Realm Fifth Layer cultivator.
All of this made her feel high and mighty, that others should kneel before her and lick her boots.
What was even more hateful was that this guy surnamed Ling actually dared to refuse her request in front of so many people.
If she did not teach this little brat a lesson, she would not be able to swallow this resentment in her heart.
There was nothing wrong with being arrogant in itself, but thinking that all men in the world should kneel before her was troublesome.
Meeting someone like Ling Xiao, she really deserved to be unlucky.
The stern-faced cultivator seemed to be discussing something with Fairy Ling Long, but the two of them were speaking very softly and were deliberately using their True Qi to block their voices, so unless Ling Xiao paid the price of exposing his strength, he really could not hear what they were saying.
"Leng Mian, what do you think?"
"That little brat is indeed a little tricky, he actually knows Spirit Arrays, but it doesn't matter, his cultivation is too low, as long as we can seize the opportunity, subduing him will be easy."
"It's good that you are confident, but don't be in a hurry to act. The place we discovered this time is most likely the cultivation place of an ancient cultivator. There are many good things inside, but the troublesome thing is that it is protected by a Spirit Array. It just so happens that this little brat understands Spirit Arrays, so let's let him break it first."
Fairy Linglong's original intention was to attack by force. The reason why she had brought so many people with her was that she wanted to dig open the cave abode of the ancient martial artist and avoid the array formation.
However, this method was not only crude, but it might not succeed. The most troublesome thing was that it might require something like a thunderbolt bomb. It would cause too much of a commotion, and it would be troublesome if it attracted a powerful beast.
Therefore, after learning that Ling Xiao knew about arrays, she changed her mind.
Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to kill Ling Xiao on the way, but now he changed his plan to wait for Ling Xiao to break the Immortal's Cave's Array Formation before killing him.
"Understood!"
The cold-faced cultivator also had the same idea. Since there was someone who understood Array Formations, how could they not make use of him?
"Brace yourselves. The deeper we go, the more dangerous it will be. Although we've walked this path more than once, it's best not to play with fire. Otherwise, if we fail miserably, we'll be wiped out!"
The cold-faced martial artist suddenly released a loud voice, which spread to the ears of all the martial artists.
"Understood!"
The other martial artists responded one after another.
Although Ling Xiao did not know what this cold-faced martial artist discussed with Fairy Linglong, he could guess some things in his heart when he saw the changes in their expressions.
"Looks like this woman really won't shed tears until she sees the coffin. She won't turn back until she hits a wall! Since that's the case, then I won't be polite either! "
…
At the beginning, the team did not suffer any attacks. Probably because the auras of the 30 martial artists were more powerful, the fierce beasts hiding in the Dragon Submitting Mountain Range did not attack rashly.
However, as they walked deeper and deeper, powerful fierce beasts also started appearing.
Some were just observing, while some already launched attacks brazenly.
This was not Ling Xiao's first time encountering fierce beasts. But each time he saw the scene of fighting with fierce beasts, he still could not help furrowing his brows slightly.
Fierce beasts did not have any mercy to speak of. They killed people completely instinctively, ruthlessly and straightforwardly, absolutely not sloppily.
The one who attacked the team was an Ice Sparrow.
Although it was just a third-level fierce beast and its strength was not considered strong, the problem was that it could fly!
The Ice Sparrow's size was very small, about the same size as a sparrow. Its entire body was dark blue and emitted an incomparably cold intent. It could release a very terrifying cold poison.
Making use of high-speed flight, the Ice Sparrow only needed to scratch or peck its target, and it could inject the cold poison into the other party's body.
Even if the target was several times larger than its size, or even dozens of times larger, once it was hit by the cold poison, it would also gradually stiffen and finally die due to all the blood in its body freezing, becoming its delicacy.
The Ice Sparrow lay in ambush between the leaves.
Because it was seriously too small, the martial artists did not detect its existence at all.
All the way until it suddenly attacked and scratched four to five martial artists in an instant, did everyone realize the danger.
Those four to five martial artists who were scratched fell to the ground after an instant, their entire bodies trembling, as if they were lying naked in a world of ice and snow.
After discovering the Ice Sparrow's attack, the martial artists started attacking in an organized manner and formed a tight protective net.
It was a pity that the Ice Sparrow was too cunning. The moment it saw that it could not attack again, it disappeared into the dense forest. The martial artists had no way of chasing after it at all.
Ling Xiao might have been able to kill the Ice Sparrow if he had removed the Array Refinement Stone or used the Sword Control Technique. However, he did not do so.
He had not forgotten the Yuan Venerate's instructions. After entering the depths of the Dragon Submission Mountain Range, he had to bring the Array Refinement Stone with him when possible.
As for the Sword Control Technique, it was a lethal weapon that he would not use easily.
"Huh?"
Ling Xiao suddenly saw Fairy Linglong helping the cultivators who had been poisoned by the cold poison. This was actually nothing to be surprised about. However, the problem was that he could faintly see the faint shadow of a dragon behind Fairy Linglong's back.
There was also the extremely familiar aura of a dragon.
"Do you want it?"
Ling Xiao could even feel the Primordial Golden Dragon within his body letting out a low roar.
If his guess was right, Fairy Linglong probably possessed a dragon-type Martial Soul. This was an extremely rare Martial Soul.
Without using any medicine, Fairy Linglong was able to expel the cold poison from their bodies easily. The martial artists naturally thanked her and expressed their loyalty. They said a bunch of useless things that Ling Xiao could not be bothered to listen to.
After suffering the probing attack of the Ice Sparrow, the team became even more cautious.
However, it was simply impossible to avoid the attacks of the ferocious beasts after entering the depths of the Dragon Submission Mountain Range. After all, it was absolutely impossible to do so unless one could completely restrain one's aura and conceal oneself.
Ling Xiao could naturally do this. His Blood Shadow Martial Soul had been fused with the Primordial Golden Dragon and its abilities had also been absorbed by the Primordial Golden Dragon. Therefore, as long as Ling Xiao could completely control the Primordial Golden Dragon, it would be very easy to do this.
Even though it was a little difficult, it was still doable.
