The high-grade ancient ginseng grew by the side of the pool, emitting a dense amount of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy. Everyone within ten miles could clearly feel it.
Long Yu and Ling Han had been attracted by this burst of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy.
On the shore of the pool, in addition to Feng Yao, there were two other female disciples of the Ice Sect and three disciples of the Zhentian Clan. A total of six people were confronting each other.
Even the three female disciples of the Ice Sect and the three male disciples of the Zhentian Clan were on guard against each other!
After all, there was only one high-grade ancient ginseng. Whoever could obtain it would be able to take that step forward and advance a level in the Martial Dao, greatly increasing their strength!
Even if they were from the same sect, they had to fight for this kind of opportunity.
But before that, of course, they had to join forces to deal with outsiders.
Those three male disciples of the Heaven Suppressing Sect just happened to be three of those who had gone out with Ling Han and Long Yu that night. It seemed like they had just entered the Ancient Ginseng Forest, and they had been moving together all the way until now.
The three of them didn't look too good because they were all at the sixth level of the Martial Dao. Even if they joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for Feng Yao, not to mention the other two female disciples of the Ice Sect.
However, in the face of the temptation of the high-grade ancient ginseng, the three of them naturally wouldn't retreat without fighting.
"It's my junior brothers, I'm going to help them!"
Ling Han and Long Yu rushed over together. When they saw the situation, their blood immediately boiled and they wanted to rush out to help.
"Wait, senior brother!"
Long Yu grabbed him. "Look at the edge of the pool. There are only disciples of the Ice Sect and our Zhentian Clan, but no disciples of the Thousand Thread Sect. This is abnormal. It's very likely that the people of the Thousand Thread Sect are hiding there, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack at any time!"
When Ling Han heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
That's right, the people of the Thousand Thread Sect could control shadows to fight, so of course they wouldn't appear openly. If he rushed out like this, wouldn't he become the target of the people of the Thousand Thread Sect?
Just as Ling Han was thinking about that, the six of them had already started fighting at the edge of the pool!
Feng Yao took the lead. Facing the Zhentian Clan disciple, she did not show any mercy. She used her Upper Grade Martial Technique, Frost Dragon Break!
It was the same Frost Dragon Break, but Feng Yao's Frost Dragon Break was clearly stronger than Liu Mingxuan's. It was clear that Feng Yao's strength surpassed Liu Mingxuan's. Not to mention, Feng Yao hadn't even used the Ancient Bronze Sword at her waist.
That was a high-ranked combat weapon, its power was unimaginable!
The Frost Dragon Break had condensed into three frost dragon Qi, which surged towards the three disciples of the Zhentian Clan, causing the three Zhentian Clan disciples to panic. They used their movement skills and retreated one by one.
"Where are you going?"
The other two female disciples of the Frost Sect let out soft exclamations and flew out to block the path of the three Zhentian Clan disciples.
"Mountain-shattering Fist!"
Qi spread out, and with a few punches, the two Zhentian Clan disciples were instantly defeated, falling heavily to the ground.
The remaining person did not dare to stay any longer after seeing the situation. His figure flashed and he jumped into the bushes at the side.
"Ah!"
A scream came from the bushes. Obviously, the Zhentian Clan disciple had met with a mishap as soon as he entered the bushes, which made Feng Yao and the others' expressions change slightly.
"The people of the Thousand Thread Sect are lying in ambush."
Feng Yao said in a low voice, "We'll take the Upper Grade Ancient Ginseng and leave immediately."
The other two female disciples of the Frost Sect also wanted the Upper Grade Ancient Ginseng, but with Feng Yao there, they had no chance at all. Now, they could only leave with Feng Yao.
While the three of them were discussing, a black shadow suddenly flashed to the edge of the pool and was about to take the Upper Grade Ancient Ginseng away.
"No way!"
Feng Yao's expression changed. She could tell that it was a shadow controlled by the Thousand Thread Sect disciple!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Feng Yao waved her hand, and two streams of Qi condensed and directly attacked the shadow. However, the shadow directly stuck to the ground and dodged her energy attack!
The Upper Grade Ancient Ginseng was grabbed by the shadow and uprooted!
After the black shadow succeeded, it immediately fled into the bushes at an extremely fast speed!
"Go after it!"
Feng Yao's expression darkened. She waved her hand and took the lead to chase.
The two female disciples of the Frost Sect behind her looked at each other when they saw this. They did not follow Feng Yao closely, but after a while, they began to catch up. Obviously, they had their own plans.
If Feng Yao caught up and fought with the people of the Thousand Thread Sect, both sides would be injured, and the two of them would be able to reap the benefits!
Apart from that, they had no hope of getting the Upper Grade Ancient Ginseng.
Feng Yao chased alone, and quickly followed the black shadow into the bushes.
Although she understood that the shadow controlled by Thousand Thread Sect could easily hide in the shadows of the forest, making it impossible for her to find the other party's trail, the other party had a high-grade ancient ginseng. As long as she followed the dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth, she definitely wouldn't lose track of them.
However, she did not expect that the moment she entered the bushes, a strong force would immediately entangle her legs!
"It's the martial technique of the Thousand Thread Sect!"
Feng Yao's heart trembled. Looking down, she saw that two black shadows with arms were entangling her legs like ropes. They contained tens of thousands of kilograms of strength, as if they wanted to crush her legs into pieces!
"You've been tricked."
A gloomy voice came from the shadows nearby, making it impossible to pinpoint its location. However, immediately after, all the black shadows around Feng Yao moved at the same time.
The Thousand Thread Sect cultivated the Thousand Thread Shadow Manipulation Art, and had the ability to control shadows. Moreover, the martial techniques of this sect were also related to shadows.
For example, the Thousand Thread Sect disciples who were hiding in the shadows controlled the shadows of the nearby ancient trees, causing them to directly entangle Feng Yao.
The shadow of the enormous ancient trees was covered in Qi, and easily covered Feng Yao's body, as if it wanted to suppress and tear her whole body apart!
However, in the next moment, a wave of cold Qi suddenly exploded from Feng Yao's body.
"Ice Moon Sword Art!"
A flash of sword light instantly broke through the shadow, easily dispersing the Qi on it. Immediately after, Feng Yao's figure leaped high into the air and quickly swung her sword in another direction.
"Ice Moon Sword Qi!"
A sword qi that contained an ice-cold aura, like a crescent moon, instantly chopped a thick ancient tree in half.
The thick ancient tree collapsed with a loud bang. However, behind the ancient tree, only a trace of the Thousand Thread Sect disciple's aura remained. His figure had long since disappeared.
"Ancient ginseng, over here!"
Feng Yao did not hesitate. She continued to rely on her perception and chased into the depths of the bushes.
With the high-ranked combat weapon, the Third Copper Ancient Sword, she could even fight against an expert at the eighth level of the Martial Dao. It was because of this that she dared to chase into the forest.
Within the bushes, shadows were everywhere. Suddenly, the shadows of two branches rose from beneath her feet, like sinister snakes, once again wrapping around her ankles.
"Lingering ghosts!"
Feng Yao's face was filled with impatience. Just as she was about to slash down with the Third Copper Ancient Sword in her hand, the shadows suddenly swept towards her from all directions.
Even if the Ice Moon Sword Art was extremely lethal, she could not react in time when faced with the attacks of the shadows from all directions!
"There are so many shadows and such a strong fluctuation of Qi. There's definitely more than one person!"
Feng Yao instantly reacted. She knew that she had stepped into a trap. However, at this moment, the shadows that were about to wrap around her suddenly retreated.
"Hmm?"
Feng Yao frowned slightly. She did not know what had happened. The other party had launched an attack, so why did they retreat so quickly?
However, she quickly understood the reason behind it.
In the forest not far away, there were sounds of fighting and explosions of Qi. It was obvious that the aura of the high-ranked ancient ginseng had attracted others, causing the Thousand Thread Sect disciples to be targeted.
In fact, it was Long Yu and Ling Han who had directly gone to deal with the Thousand Thread Sect disciples.
The two of them had been hiding in the shadows. They had already climbed up high to investigate the situation. This time, the Thousand Thread Sect had sent a total of three disciples to ambush in the bushes. Among them, two were in the seventh stage of the Martial Path, and the other was in the sixth stage.
Taking advantage of the three of them besieging Feng Yao, Long Yu and Ling Han suddenly attacked and killed the Thousand Thread Sect disciple who had obtained the ancient ginseng with lightning speed!
Although the Thousand Thread Sect disciple's fighting style was strange and his martial skills were insidious, he did not have much combat strength when approached. He was easily killed by the two of them together.
"The ancient ginseng is here."
Joy flashed in Long Yu's eyes as he grasped the high-ranked ancient ginseng.
Ling Han was a little excited. "Junior Brother, take the ancient ginseng and leave first. I'll stop these people here!"
He could feel that if Long Yu absorbed the spiritual energy in the high-ranked ancient ginseng, he would very likely advance to the seventh stage of the Martial Path!
Long Yu, who was only in the sixth stage of the Martial Path, could already defeat an expert in the seventh stage of the Martial Path. Then, when he advanced to the seventh stage of the Martial Path, wouldn't he be able to deal with an expert in the eighth stage of the Martial Path?
That way, Long Yu could walk more in the ancient ginseng forest and search for more ancient ginseng for the benefit of the Zhentian Clan disciples!
The reason why Ling Han made such a decision was that he, Ling Han, was still a long way from breaking through to the eighth stage of the Martial Path. Even the high-ranked ancient ginseng could not help him break through.
Handing it over to Long Yu was clearly more effective.
Long Yu had never been an indecisive person. When he confirmed that with Ling Han's strength, his life would not be in danger if he stayed, he decisively took the high-ranked ancient ginseng and turned to leave!
The situation in this place was too complicated. Not only were there two people from the Thousand Thread Sect hiding in the dark, but Feng Yao and the other two female disciples of the Ice Sect were also chasing after him.
Most importantly, Long Yu was afraid that more people would come later. If he encountered an expert in the eighth stage of the Martial Path, the situation would be very bad.
Therefore, the most important thing now was to leave with the high-ranked ancient ginseng, find a safe place to absorb the spiritual energy in it, and try to break through to the seventh stage of the Martial Path!
"Flash Wind Step, Blizzard Boots!"
Long Yu's eyes flashed with determination. He used the peak realm of Flash Wind Step and the Blizzard Boots, and immediately ran into the depths of the forest!
In the shadows of the trees, a shadow was deeply hidden, following him at a speed faster than he could run at full speed.
Pu! Pu! Pu!
A series of black shadows condensed into long needles, shooting out from the shadows at him!
"A martial technique of the Thousand Thread Sect?"
When Long Yu saw this, he did not hesitate to turn into a light breeze. In an instant, he crossed a distance of ten meters, easily dodging the black needles.
Immediately after, the black shadow that chased after him suddenly disappeared.
Long Yu knew that Ling Han had found the true body of the Thousand Thread Sect disciple and entangled him. That was why the other party was not in the mood to continue pestering him.
At this moment, Ling Han had just killed a sixth stage disciple of the Thousand Thread Sect who was hiding at the top of a tree. Immediately after, he saw Feng Yao quickly chasing after him with an ancient bronze sword in her hand.
"If you want to chase after someone, you have to pass through me first!"
