The bottom of the stone chamber was where the Energy Gathering Formation's core was. Countless amounts of energy were gathering towards the stone chamber.
Now that the Earth Killing Formation was broken, Ning Yue summoned the Phantom Armor and burrowed into the ground after recovering some of his energy.
Ning Yue circulated the Spirit Transformation Technique and absorbed the pure energy to replenish the energy in his sea of consciousness.
As for the Dark Emperor, he was having a great time fighting with the Dark Golden Spirit Corpse. Both sides were exchanging blows.
However, as time passed, the Dark Emperor gradually gained the upper hand and suppressed the Dark Golden Spirit Corpse.
Pa!
Roughly fifteen minutes later, the Dark Emperor found an opportunity and whipped the Dark Golden Spirit Corpse with his tail.
The enormous force caused the dark gold spirit corpse's body to sway in the air before falling to the ground, unable to get up.
Phew!
After defeating the Dark Golden Spirit Corpse, the Dark Emperor heaved a sigh of relief. The stone in his heart was finally lifted.
"Ning Yue, hurry up and come out. Put the Dark Golden Spirit Corpse into the Storage Ring!" The Dark Emperor shouted.
Swoosh!
Ning Yue was paying attention to the situation in the stone chamber. The instant the Dark Golden Spirit Corpse was defeated, he appeared in the stone chamber with a flash.
After wrapping a wisp of his soul force around the Dark Golden Spirit Corpse, Ning Yue put it into the Storage Ring.
"Ning Yue, we shouldn't stay here for long. Let's leave as soon as possible." Seeing Ning Yue put the Dark Golden Spirit Corpse into the Storage Ring, the Dark Emperor said solemnly.
"Understood. But before we leave, we still have one thing to do."
Waving his hand, Ning Yue came to the altar and put a storage pouch into the Storage Ring.
Then, Ning Yue said, "Dark Emperor, you enter the Storage Ring as well. We'll leave underground."
Swoosh!
The Dark Emperor didn't hesitate and leaped into the Storage Ring.
Then, the Phantom Armor appeared around Ning Yue's body. He stepped on the ground and drilled into the ground again.
Whoosh!
Underground, Ning Yue did not leave immediately. Instead, he carefully put away the ten Primordial Gathering Stones.
Yuan Gathering Stones were incomparably precious, even rarer than ordinary sixth-grade medicinal herbs. Ning Yue naturally could not miss out on such a treasure.
"Luckily, I knew how to set up an Energy Gathering Formation in my previous life. Otherwise, the moment I removed the Energy Gathering Stone, the Energy Gathering Formation would immediately collapse." Taking a deep breath, Ning Yue raised his speed to the limit and flew into the distance.
Although the Essence Gathering Formation wouldn't collapse immediately, it wouldn't last long.
Rumble!
Not long after Ning Yue left, the ground where the Yuan Gathering Formation was located collapsed with a loud rumble.
"What happened?"
"Why did the cave collapse? Quickly inform Master Leng!"
"Yes, yes. Quickly inform Master Leng and Master Mu Tuo."
As the Yuan Gathering Formation lost the support of the Yuan Gathering Stones, it quickly collapsed. Affected by the collapse of the Yuan Gathering Formation, the ground under the cave caved in.
The faces of the Corpse Guards in the cave changed drastically when they saw the cave caved in. They panicked and immediately ran toward the stone chamber where Master Leng was at.
Their duty was to protect Master Leng. If anything were to happen to Master Leng, they would not be able to bear the consequences.
Bang!
A dull thud was heard as the stone chamber's door was blasted open.
"Oh no, Master Leng has been killed!"
"What! Quickly seal the cave. We must find the person who killed Master Leng! "
Whoosh!
Not long after the cave caved in, Mu Tuo led a large group of people and appeared in front of the cave.
Mu Tuo's expression turned extremely unpleasant as he looked at the collapsed cave and the dozens of Corpse Guards standing in front of it.
However, when he saw the familiar figure in the middle of the Corpse Guards, his face instantly turned as pale as a pig's liver!
"Who killed Master Leng!?" Mu Tuo quickly came to Master Leng's side and clenched his fists. He scolded in a deep voice, "What the hell are you guys doing? Master Leng was killed not long after I left!"
"Mu Tuo, Master Leng's death is a serious matter. We must inform the Hall Master."
A man in a black robe next to Mu Tuo said in a deep voice, "Also, I suggest that I lead a team to search this forest. As long as we find any suspicious people, we'll kill them immediately."
The man in the black robe who spoke was in his forties or fifties. He was a powerful late-stage True Martial Realm cultivator.
Obviously, the man in the black robe did not know about the Dark Golden Spirit Corpse and the Earth Killing Formation. Otherwise, he would not have said such arrogant words.
"Black Sand King, please." Now that things had come to this, it had completely exceeded Mu Tuo's expectations. He could only pray that the Black Sand King could find the person who killed Master Leng.
Buzz!
However, before the Black Sand King could move, the surrounding space wriggled. Then, a man in white appeared.
Looking at the man in white who had suddenly appeared, the surrounding martial artists, including Mu Tuo, stood on the spot respectfully. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Looking at Master Leng, who had been beaten beyond recognition, the man in white frowned and mumbled, "He was killed by brute force. Judging from the strength of the fist, the person who attacked should be at the late-stage Connate Realm."
"The Earth Killing Formation has been broken, and the Dark Golden Spirit Corpse is nowhere to be found. Looks like this was a premeditated murder."
After thinking about it, the man in white moved and burrowed into the ground in the blink of an eye.
Whoosh!
In just a short while, the man in white leaped out from the ground.
"As I expected, the Yuan Gathering Stone has been taken away." With a slightly gloomy expression, the man in white took out a crystal ball and placed it on Master Leng's body.
Three seconds later, the man in white put the crystal ball away.
He closed his eyes and stood on the spot for a while. Then, the man in white turned into an afterimage and chased after Master Leng in the east.
Ten minutes after the man in white disappeared, Mu Tuo and the rest finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Mu Tuo, what did he mean?" Pointing to the east, the Black Sand King asked in a low voice, "What should we do now?"
After thinking about it, Mu Tuo said, "Mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized and secretly investigate any suspicious characters that have appeared within a hundred-mile radius recently. I want to know all the movements of martial artists who have reached the True Martial Realm in the past month!"
"Also." In the end, Mu Tuo added, "Find a person called Ning Yue and bring him back to see me."
"Ning Yue?"
The Black Sand King was stunned and asked doubtfully, "Is he a True Martial Realm martial artist?"
"He's not a True Martial Realm martial artist. He's an alchemist," Mu Tuo said in a low voice.
"Got it. Let's go!" The Black Sand King nodded and waved his hand. The surrounding martial artists immediately dispersed and flew in all directions.
Rustle!
Ning Yue and the Dark Emperor had no idea what was happening in the cave.
After collecting the ten Yuan Gathering Stones, Ning Yue kept flying underground until the Primordial Qi in his sea of consciousness was depleted. Only then did he emerge from the ground and come to the surface.
As the Primordial Qi in Ning Yue's sea of consciousness was depleted, the Dark Emperor grew slightly larger and carried Ning Yue through the forest.
They did not choose to rest in the city immediately. After all, they were afraid of encountering danger before they left the cave.
