Under the guidance of the Ten Thousand Spirit Flag, the cultivators followed the black cloud in the sky and rushed in the direction of the Sword Catacomb. From their point of view, the black cloud was released by the little devil's Ten Thousand Spirit Flag. As long as the black cloud was there, the Ten Thousand Spirit Flag and the little devil would naturally be there as well. They had never heard of a profound level weapon that could be controlled by oneself. However, they did not know that Daphne could control the Ten Thousand Spirit Flag at will.
As they rushed towards the Sword Catacomb with great power, Fang Xing had already left the group.
His plan was simple. If he attacked the Sword Catacomb with this group of people, he would definitely be resisted by the three groups of people that the Huangfu Family had left to guard the Sword Catacomb. Although the cultivators' morale was high and there were many experts hidden among them, it was only a matter of time before they broke through the defense of the three groups. However, after breaking into the Sword Catacomb, the cultivators would once again be faced with a fight to the death.
After all, according to the information obtained from Li Ying and the others, there were less than a hundred sword embryos in the Sword Catacomb. Moreover, most of them were inferior sword embryos. The truly good sword embryos would probably not exceed the fingers on one hand. How would they be distributed among so many cultivators?
When the time came, the cultivators would definitely fight to the death. Even with his strength, it would be difficult for him to suppress the crowd. Because of this, Fang Xing had the idea of letting the large group of cultivators attract the attention of the three groups of demons guarding the Sword Catacomb while he quietly sneaked into the Sword Catacomb to steal the sword embryos. When he formed an alliance with Li Ying and the others, he had already obtained enough detailed information and knew the general layout of the Sword Catacomb.
The Sword Catacomb was located in a barren grave a hundred miles away from Stony Mountain. There was a dilapidated main hall that descended from the sky and landed in the middle of the barren grave. In that main hall, the highest quality sword embryos were being nurtured. Outside the main hall, there were many broken sword embryos. Outside the barren grave, there were three intersecting mountain ranges that left three entrances to the barren grave.
After the Huangfu Clan occupied the Sword Catacomb, they set up a formation along the mountain and sealed off the entire valley. As a result, all three entrances were under the Huangfu Clan's control. The Fire Cloud Clan, the Dang You Clan, and the Black Marsh Clan each guarded one entrance. Originally, the Jiuqu Clan was in the middle to provide support. However, Lei Jiu was later sent to hunt down the "Little Devil", so there were only three clans left guarding the entrance.
Originally, these three groups were already enough. After all, they represented the Huangfu Clan in guarding this place. Who would dare to cause trouble in front of them? Taking a step back, with the strength of these three divisions and their junior division leaders, there really weren't many in the younger generation of Nan Zhan who had the guts to provoke them, whether it was in terms of influence or strength. That was because doing so was no different from courting death.
However, there were a lot of Nan Zhan cultivators who had been tempted by the sword embryo. Moreover, there were also many experts with astonishing strength hidden among them. This kind of strength wasn't something that the demons of the three clans could withstand. When the cultivators attacked, they would definitely mobilize all their strength to defend. In this way, the defense of the other two entrances would definitely be weaker. Fang Xing planned to sneak in through these two entrances.
In any case, he, who had met the Golden Crow, really didn't care about ordinary formations.
And this "ordinary formation" actually referred to all the formations that the two of them had encountered.
"Too bad, too bad …"
After hearing Fang Xing's plan, the Golden Crow cried out in shock. Then, it winked at Fang Xing and said, "But I like …"
Fang Xing rolled his eyes at it and said, "Get lost. I don't like men, and I especially don't like people like you …"
The Golden Crow laughed and said, "That's okay. I have a cousin sister. She's very pretty, but a little talkative …"
Fang Xing was quite speechless. "Do you know that this is the sixth time you've betrothed your cousin sister to me?"
The Golden Crow said, "Don't stand on ceremony with me. Don't stand on ceremony!"
Fang Xing: "…"
The two of them quarreled and flew rapidly toward the sword catacomb. In order not to be discovered by other cultivators, they even took a detour in the air. However, the Golden Crow's current speed was much faster than that of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators. In the Mysterious Domain, the Cloud Condensing Technique had been banned, so cultivators could only rely on the Sky Sweeping Technique or the Sword Kinesis Technique to travel. Not only did it consume spiritual energy, but it was also slow.
Not long after, they arrived at the sword catacomb. Looking from afar, they saw that the sword catacomb was filled with flags and cultivators were flying in the air.
Fang Xing chose an entrance located in the northwest. There were many dangerous peaks here, and the path was hard and strange. Moreover, there was greyish-white mist lingering around it, making it difficult to see far. This was the easiest place to sneak in. At first, Li Ying and the others allied with Fang Xing because they wanted his Thousand Spirit Flag. They planned to use it as a cover to launch a surprise attack and break into the sword catacomb to steal the sword embryo.
However, this plot was turned into an open robbery by Fang Xing, so this plan was naturally abandoned. The Great Roc Raven King had already used Fang Xing's name to attack the southeast entrance, which was the most spacious and could accommodate more people. However, Fang Xing planned to follow the plan and enter from the southeast entrance. This way, he could enter the sword catacomb earlier than the other cultivators.
Inside the entrance array, there were three figures sitting on the stone wall. They were all wearing black robes and their appearances could not be seen. Although they were outside the array, Fang Xing's divine sense was powerful and sensitive. He could faintly feel that their cultivations were all at the peak of Spirit Formation, which was considered quite low. However, this was within Fang Xing's expectations. There was originally a Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding this place, but he had already been transferred away.
At this time, Daphne had already reached the southeast entrance of the sword catacomb and began his attack. The three groups of people guarding the sword catacomb had already rushed to support him. The ones left behind were three Spirit Movement realm disciples, who were only responsible for guarding the array at the valley entrance. Faintly, the sounds of fighting and killing could be heard from the southeast, mixed with the roars of cultivators. One could even see the spiritual light and black mist in the distance.
However, it was quiet here. The three cultivators guarding the array were somewhat absent-mindedly looking towards the southeast direction.
"Old Jin, let's go …"
Fang Xing instructed in a low voice: "Be fast, don't touch the array, don't let them have time to send a message …"
One man and one crow, after quickly communicating, rushed towards the array at the same time.
Fang Xing reported the location, and the Golden Crow deduced the eight gates. One man and one crow, like a ray of golden light, rushed into the entrance of the valley like lightning.
"Who is trespassing into the sword catacomb?"
"Not good, activate the array …"
"Send a message to the young division leader, someone is trespassing …"
Although the cultivation of the three cultivators in the valley was not high, the reason why the three of them stayed behind to guard the array while everyone else went to the valley entrance was because the three of them were extremely vigilant. Once they discovered that someone was trespassing into the valley, they immediately became alert. One of them activated the array to suppress the trespasser, while the other took out a jade talisman and was about to crush it to send a message to the young division leader who was gathered at the southeast entrance of the valley.
Their reaction speed was not slow. Logically speaking, with the three of them guarding and the array at the valley entrance, even a late stage foundation realm expert would need to spend a certain amount of time to break through the valley entrance. Moreover, they would be able to successfully send a message. Unfortunately, the three of them encountered the golden duo of Fang Xing and the Golden Crow. Their speed of breaking through the array was as fast as lightning.
"Go to hell!"
After entering the array, the Golden Crow let out a loud roar and charged towards the cultivator closest to it. Fang Xing also waved his hand and shot out two flying swords. In a blink of an eye, the two cultivators that were seven and fourteen feet away from him were killed. At the same time, the Golden Crow let out a cry and crashed into the body of the cultivator closest to it. With a rumble, the Golden Crow actually crashed into the stone wall.
"Oh my god, I'm dizzy …"
The Golden Crow let out a muffled wail, but its sharp beak directly pierced into the stone wall.
"Damn, Old Golden, you're really sturdy now …"
Even Fang Xing was a little surprised when he saw this. He pulled the Golden Crow's tail with both hands and pulled it out.
He suddenly realized that the Golden Crow's crash not only smashed the Black Marsh Tribe's Dragon Snake Demon into pieces, it even created a large hole in the stone wall. However, the Golden Crow did not suffer any injuries. It was just that it used too much force and was a little dizzy.
This physique was really incredible. Fang Xing even felt that the Golden Crow's current strength was no less than the peak of the early stages of foundation building.
However, the cultivation on its body was clearly still at the Spiritual Movement Realm. It was truly strange!
"Don't touch me, I'm dizzy …"
The Golden Crow shook its head and said dizzily.
Fang Xing looked at it with disdain: "If you know that you're dizzy, why are you still using so much force?"
The Golden Crow said: "Seeing these traitors makes me angry …"
Fang Xing immediately understood. Because of the Huangfu Clan's banishment of the demons three thousand years ago, they had a blood feud with the Demon Clan. Because of this, the eight demon clans that were loyal to the Huangfu Clan were also despised by the Demon Clan. This was a feud that had lasted for thousands of years.
"You pass out first, I have to hurry and see my treasures …"
Fang Xing's eyes lit up. He rubbed his hands and laughed. Without waiting for the Golden Crow, he ran into the sword tomb.
"Oh, wait for me …"
The Golden Crow let out a strange cry and also chased after him. With an opportunity in front of it, it did not care about passing out.
A human and a crow rushed inside. Not long after, they went around a mountain corner and saw a desolate graveyard in front of them. This graveyard had existed for thousands of years. The graveyard was broken and the barren hills were scattered. Under the shroud of yin fog, it was almost impossible to see the end. Some of the barren graves were slanted or straight and there were some damaged weapons stuck in them. The killing intent was faintly discernible.
"This is a sword embryo?"
Fang Xing immediately saw a black iron sword not far away. His eyes revealed an infatuated color as he slowly walked forward.
