This nameless reef island was located fifty kilometers south of Huang Li Island. Three days later, three streaks of light flew over from the west and landed on the reef. The newcomers were two women and one man, all wearing the robes of Zhenling's disciples.
Lu Ping actually recognized all three of them. The red-clothed woman was Hu Lili, who had traded a large number of top-grade blood talismans with Lu Ping after the trade fair. The green-clothed woman was the outer sect disciple Lu Ping had traded a low-grade magic tool, the copper mirror, with the copper mirror. At the time, she was still a third-rank Zhenling disciple. The honest-looking man with the lowest cultivation was the one who had traded a piece of black iron for Lu Ping's wolf tooth club magic tool at the trade fair.
The three of them had actually come together. Lu Ping, who had been lying in ambush for almost two days with an Invisibility Talisman and Spirit-Sealing Talisman, was slightly surprised.
The green-clothed woman looked around and said to the red-clothed woman, "Sister Lili, this should be correct. We've already been searching the sea for two months."
Hu Lili smiled and said, "It should be correct. Before this, I spent several months looking through many jade slips before I was able to confirm that it was in this region of the sea."
The honest-looking man behind her said, "Hehe, it would be great if it really was Cultivator Sheng Tao's cave. A hundred years ago, he was a somewhat famous alchemist in the Northern Sea. It would be best if there were Blood Condensing Pills inside."
Hu Lili glared at him and said, "Niu Dazhuang, don't always think of good things. A hundred years have passed. Who knows what's left inside? Who knows, someone might have already taken it."
Niu Dazhuang chuckled and said no more. The green-clothed woman said, "Brother Dazhuang, there might be a protective formation in front of the cave. Later, we might have to use brother Dazhuang's magic tool to break the formation."
Niu Dazhuang thumped his chest loudly and said, "No problem. It's not like you haven't seen my magic tool before. Although it's a low-grade magic tool, its attack power is definitely not below that of a mid-grade magic tool. I exchanged a piece of Darksteel for it."
When Hu Lili heard Niu Dazhuang mention the matter of the trade fair, she also said, "Speaking of that Lu Ping, I also exchanged dozens of best quality talismans with him after the trade fair for the sake of this adventure. This person's skill in crafting talismans is very high, and he's also an expert among the third-grade disciples. If it weren't for the fact that we don't know his background, inviting him to join us would also be a good idea."
Hu Lili suddenly thought of something and said to the green-clothed woman, "Zheng Jie, didn't you also make a deal with him?"
The green-clothed woman, Zheng Jie, pursed her lips and said, "That guy is a miser. He took advantage of the magic tool we traded with him."
As Hu Lili walked, she looked at the surrounding terrain. Hearing this, she smiled and didn't say anything. However, she suddenly stopped and took out a shabby map from her storage pouch to compare with the surrounding environment.
"It's here. The group of rocks on the east side is actually an illusion of an array formation. Behind the array formation is Cultivator Sheng Tao's cave abode," Hu Lili said with certainty. "Da Zhuang, go up and use your Dharma artefact to hit this reef."
Hearing this, Niu Dazhuang said, "Okay!" He spat on his palm and rubbed his hands together. He took out a mace from his storage pouch and waved it. With a loud shout, he smashed it on a reef.
Strangely, although the reef was smashed, there was no sound. The whole group of rocks suddenly trembled and then quieted down. After a while, the reef that was smashed by Niu Dazhuang flashed and was restored to its original state.
"It really is a rock formation. The formation is intact, which means that no one has entered it. Later, everyone listen to my command. We'll break this formation. "Hu Lili unexpectedly had a good understanding of formations.
Hearing that the cave mansion was intact, Zheng Jie and Niu Dazhuang were very excited.
Hu Lili carefully observed the group of rocks in front of her, and her face suddenly lit up. She raised her hands, and eight top-quality blood talismans flew towards eight rocks of different sizes. "Rumble, rumble, rumble." Several loud noises resounded, and the eight rocks exploded into pieces. The group of rocks shook for a while. Hu Lili carefully observed, and sure enough, she found four rocks that didn't shake. She raised her hands again, and four more blood talismans appeared.
Hu Lili let out a long breath and said, "Alright. Without someone controlling the formation, there are fewer changes. After a hundred years, it has lost most of its power. I've temporarily taken control of the formation. We just need to smash the remaining rocks. "
Niu Dazhuang and Zheng Jie cheered. The two of them used their magic tools and Hu Lili to smash the rocks.
It took the three of them two hours to sweep away all the rocks. At this time, a cave mansion appeared in front of them. The three of them were excited and walked towards the entrance.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred. A silver needle artifact silently pierced towards Hu Lili's back. By the time Hu Lili realized it, she only had time to send out two blood talismans to block the silver needle. However, the needle-shaped artifact was able to restrain the protection of spells and the like.
Hu Lili tried her best to dodge, but she still felt a sharp pain on her shoulder. Blood spurted out from her mouth. Her shoulder was pierced through.
When Zheng Jie and Niu Dazhuang came back to their senses, they were both shocked and furious. They quickly took out their magic tools and protected Hu Lili. Zheng Jie shouted, "Who is it? Come out! "
A burst of arrogant laughter was heard. A few dozen feet behind them, there was a fluctuation of arcane energy. Five cultivators wearing Xuan Ling Sect's robes appeared. Obviously, they also used some kind of invisibility spell. However, the fluctuation of arcane energy just now told Lu Ping that it wasn't an invisibility spell or an invisibility talisman. It should be a magic tool specially used for invisibility.
When the three of them saw that it was Xuan Ling Sect's disciples, their faces changed. They didn't have the time to ask how they were discovered.
The five Xuan Ling Sect disciples obviously didn't want to give them a chance to ask questions. Five Mystic Tools attacked from five different directions. Hu Lili quickly treated her injuries and controlled a low-grade flying sword to defend against the five attacks with the other two disciples.
Whether it was cultivation or numbers, Zhenling, Niu Dazhuang, and Niu Dazhuang were at a disadvantage. Moreover, Hu Lili was seriously injured.
Lu Ping looked at the situation in front of him. He was considering if he should help them secretly so that the three of them could escape. After all, they were all disciples of the same sect and had some friendship with each other.
"En, it would be best if I can injure two or three of the Xuan Ling Sect disciples at the same time. That way, I can reap the benefits."
Just as Lu Ping was looking for an opportunity to strike, a new change occurred on the battlefield.
Knowing that they were in danger, Zhenling, Niu Dazhuang, and Niu Dazhuang even used his injuries to smash Junior Brother Zhou, who had the lowest cultivation, causing him to vomit blood.
Hu Lili was quick-witted. While the Xuan Ling Sect disciples were panicking because of Junior Brother Zhou's injuries, she raised her hand and threw three talismans at the short Junior Brother Yin. Junior Brother Yin was already distracted because of Junior Brother Zhou's injuries. When he saw the three talismans turning into three fireballs flying towards him, he knew that they were top-grade blood talismans and panicked again.
Junior Brother Yin barely managed to block the three fireballs with his magic tool, but before he could catch his breath, a flying sword flew towards him, and one of his arms was detached from his body.
Zheng Jie, who was in charge of defending, was already bleeding from the three Xuan Ling Sect disciples' magic tool attacks. She was barely holding on.
When the Xuan Ling Sect disciples saw that they had the upper hand, but two of their disciples were seriously injured, they were humiliated into anger. They gave up on the game of cat and mouse and attacked frantically. Zhenling, Niu Dazhuang, and Niu Dazhuang tried their best to defend, but they were still seriously injured. They were in a precarious situation!
Just as Lu Ping was about to help them, a frightening sizzling sound came from the sea. Not far away, a huge sea serpent, more than ten zhang long and as thick as a water bucket, slowly rose from the sea.
