"Lu Daoyou, you're finally back. I couldn't see you before, and I was so worried." Lü Hui waited for a long time before he saw Lu Xiaotian return. He said anxiously.
"I encountered two Winter Ghost Spiders just now, and it took me some effort to escape. You guys are so worried, but did something happen again? Where did Fellow Daoist Lü Feng go? "Lu Xiaotian asked.
"It's not just something that happened, it's a big matter, a matter of life and death. The Foundation Establishment seniors outside are transferring people here again. I'm guessing that they must have encountered some problems elsewhere. Fortunately, Lu Daoyou went so deep into the cave. Otherwise, we would have been conscripted. "Lü Feng ran over, his expression not looking good. "But I'm afraid we can't hide for long. We'll be conscripted too."
"Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. What's there to be afraid of? It's not like they're relying on us." Although Lu Xiaotian said this, he remembered that Lü Jinrong seemed to have sent a Sound-Transmitting Talisman before his death. Presumably, the other Foundation Establishment cultivators thought that the Winter Ghost Spiders' nest was almost completely searched, so they transferred people here. However, since they transferred people batch after batch, it was obvious that Lü Feng's guess was right. They must have encountered a big problem. But a problem that even the three Clan Heads couldn't solve, and there were more than twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators from the three clans. Even these people couldn't handle it, and a large number of Aura Refining cultivators had to be used as cannon fodder. He really didn't know what kind of danger it was. Although Lu Xiaotian said this, he felt a rare sense of anxiety in his heart.
Inwardly, he was contemplating whether he should continue to stay in this dangerous reef cave or secretly leave. After all, he had already gained a lot of benefits. But when he thought of the Hunyuan Taoist Scripture, he gave up the idea. Now he was at the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm and had been practicing the Hunyuan Scripture. He had also compared the other cultivation methods of the Divine Cloud Palace. For his poor aptitude, he really couldn't find a more suitable one. Not to mention the Chance of Bearing Essence that might be hidden in the Hunyuan Taoist Scripture, he would continue to take the risk for the rest of the Hunyuan Scripture.
Just as Lü Feng had said, two Foundation Establishment cultivators soon arrived to dispatch the Aura Refining cultivators. Perhaps they were somewhat puzzled by Lv Jinrong's lack of response after such a long time, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators entered the depths of the nest. However, not long after, they ran out with flustered expressions. The two of them only saw a few corpses from afar and retreated in panic. Even Lv Jinrong and the other four Foundation Establishment cultivators had died, not to mention the two of them, who were only in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. The first thing the two of them thought of was to inform the three Patriarchs.
Not long after, Lü Tianlin rushed over in a fit of rage.
"Rong 'er, my Rong' er!" Lü Tianlin hugged Lv Jinrong's corpse. His grief-stricken voice shook the entire Frost Scorpion Spider's nest.
Several Ice Wasp Scorpions once again flew out of the cold pond and circled around Lü Tianlin in a flurry.
"You're courting death!" Lü Tianlin was so angry that his heart was attacked. He waved his black cane in the air, leaving afterimages behind. Occasionally, a few thick bursts of energy would hit the nearby cave walls, shattering large chunks of rock like tofu. It was clear to see how terrifying Lü Tianlin's attacks were when he was enraged.
However, although Lü Tianlin's attacks were frightening, they always hit empty air. He couldn't even hit a few Ice Wasp Scorpions. Instead, he wasted a large amount of magic power for nothing. The three Ice Wasp Scorpions were also exceptionally angry. First, five human cultivators had come and disturbed their peace. They had all been stung to death. Then, a large centipede had come. No matter how it stung them, it had no effect. It had even stolen the spirit herbs that they had been guarding for who knows how many years, as well as a dozen or so spirit stones. Now, another vicious fellow had come. Not only had he stolen their things, he had even caused them to be unable to rest in peace. The anger of the Ice Wasp Scorpions wasn't any less than Lü Tianlin's. However, Lü Tianlin was already an expert in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. He was far stronger than the enemies they had encountered before. Even with their speed, they still couldn't get close to him.
However, softness couldn't be defended, and hardness couldn't be maintained for long. Although Lü Tianlin's attacks were forceful when he attacked in anger, it was inevitable that his magic power would run out after a long time. The black cane in his hand paused for a moment. Although the Ice Wasp Scorpions were demonic beasts, they were already comparable to Foundation Establishment cultivators. They were extremely accurate at seizing opportunities. Seeing Lü Tianlin's movements slow down, the three Ice Wasp Scorpions pounced from different directions at the same time. The ice needles on the scorpions' tails stung Lü Tianlin's protective spiritual barrier a few times, causing it to dissipate. Lü Tianlin was shocked. In a moment of desperation, he brandished the black cane to its limit. Although he managed to force back two Ice Wasp Scorpions, he still gave the remaining one an opportunity.
"Brother Lü, be careful." When Hu Qianshan heard of the battle, he immediately rushed over. He just happened to see Lü Tianlin in danger. He waved his hand and shot out a fire pearl, patching up the opening that Lü Tianlin had exposed.
"That was close! These beasts are very powerful! "Lü Tianlin was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. He took advantage of the situation to escape from the battle.
When the three Ice Wasp Scorpions saw that another powerful human cultivator had arrived, they saw that the situation was bad and hid in the cold pond.
Hu Qianshan pulled back Lü Tianlin, who wanted to turn the cold pond upside down, and advised, "Brother Lü, since we've already found what we want, why waste time here? There's only an hour left until the tide returns. We don't have much time left."
"Although that's the case, the enmity of my son's death must be avenged." Lü Tianlin's tone was gloomy.
"Jin Rong's death pained me greatly. Moreover, my Hu Clan also lost two clansmen. However, their deaths might not have been caused by these Ice Wasp Scorpions."
"Brother Hu, what do you mean?" Lü Tianlin asked doubtfully.
"Did you notice that Jin Rong and the others' storage pouches have disappeared? Moreover, Hu Bin's cause of death was a sword wound to his throat. He didn't die at the hands of the Ice Wasp Scorpions." Hu Qianshan said.
Lü Tianlin was shocked. He was so angry that he overlooked such an obvious flaw. Now that Hu Qianshan reminded him, he realized that there were indeed many areas that were wrong. However, he wasn't a three-year-old child that could be easily fooled. He quickly shook his head and said, "Even if Hu Bin died at the hands of others, it's a fact that Jin Rong and the other three were poisoned by the Ice Wasp Scorpions."
"Apart from Hu Bin, it's true that Jin Rong and the others died at the hands of the Ice Wasp Scorpions. However, this may not be a trap set up by others. They used the Ice Wasp Scorpions to kill them and then seized the opportunity to steal their belongings. Moreover, this cold pond is bottomless. Even if I stay here for too long, the circulation of my Fa Li will be greatly restricted. I'm afraid that I won't be able to do anything to these Ice Wasp Scorpions even if I stay here for more than half an hour. Instead of wasting time on this meaningless matter, it's better to focus on dealing with the Tiger-Striped Demon Turtle. Could it be that in Brother Lü's eyes, Jin Dan's Dao is not worth mentioning compared to revenge? If so, I won't accompany you. "Hu Qianshan said with an angry face.
"Fine, let's put this matter aside for now. When this matter is over, I'll definitely find the person with bad intentions and crush his bones to ashes!" Lü Tianlin hesitated for a moment. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally made a decision.
"Okay, after the most important matter is settled, I'll definitely catch the culprit with Brother Lü!"
In order to calm Lü Tianlin's mind, Hu Qianshan said as he laid an ambush. In his eyes, only the Dao of Jin Dan was the most important matter. Even if Hu Bin and his sister were his nephews, they were not worth mentioning.
On the other hand, the enemy who deliberately sneaked into the group was actually able to freely advance and retreat under their noses. Moreover, he was able to kill Hu Bin without batting an eyelid and take away their storage pouches. This ability really couldn't be underestimated. Perhaps he was a cultivator from some sect. In order to avoid any more trouble, after obtaining the key to open the Immemorial Dao Scripture, he immediately rushed to open the scripture. Otherwise, if the large sects really reacted, not to mention eating meat, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to drink soup. As for avenging the several dead juniors, he simply didn't think about it for the time being. However, the methods of the person who hid his strength were not simple. In private, he still had to be a little careful.
Under the lead of Lv Tianlin and Hu Qianshan, the rest of the Qi Practitioners were brought to a cave in the stone forest. This place was probably the lowest point in the entire reef cave. Even when the tide rushed to the bottom of the sea, there was still a huge amount of water that was tens of feet deep. There were many spirit stones scattered at the bottom of the water, as well as some shining shells, fish, prawns, and crabs. However, there were even more low-level demon turtles with tiger stripes on their backs and sharp teeth under their mouths. They looked quite fierce. These demon turtles swam in the water, vigilantly looking at the large number of human cultivators who were about to enter the water. A fierce battle had already broken out before, so there were many turtle corpses floating in the water, as well as a large number of human cultivators' corpses.
"Motherf * cker, no wonder all of us were gathered here. It turns out that they want to enter the water and fight with these tiger-striped demon turtles. These demon turtles don't seem to have a high rank, but with their turtle shells and in the water, they are not easy to deal with." Lü Feng looked at the black mass of turtles in the water and felt a chill in his heart.
"What can we do? There are more than twenty Foundation Establishment seniors eyeing us covetously from behind. We have no choice but to go down." Lü Hui's expression was even more unsightly than when he was in the Frost Nightmare Spider's nest. In any case, he had to fight the spiders on the ground. But now, he had to enter the water to fight the demon beasts. Before he could even make a move, his own strength had already been weakened. Looking at the several hundred corpses floating in the water several feet deep, it was difficult for his mood to improve.
A Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Yan Clan said with a murderous aura, "The hundred people in the front line are to enter the water immediately. All clan members will be treated equally. If there are any delays, they will be executed immediately!"
Although many of the clan's branch family members regretted being born into a few clans, no one dared to disobey the Foundation Establishment cultivator's orders. They could only successively enter the water that was already filled with the stench of blood. The temperature of the water here wasn't low. With the physiques of cultivators, they could completely withstand it. However, the cold brought about by death was even more sinister than in the spider's nest.
As soon as these human cultivators entered the water, groups of Tiger Striped Demonic Turtles immediately pounced on them. The Tiger Striped Demonic Turtles were very clumsy on land, but in the water, their agility wasn't inferior to ordinary human cultivators. Coupled with their sturdy turtle shell, even a top-grade spirit tool wouldn't be able to shatter it in two or three hits. In the water, a single Tiger Striped Demonic Turtle was equivalent to several Aura Refining cultivators. Fortunately, in order to prevent the Aura Refining cultivators from collapsing, the remaining twenty or so Foundation Establishment cultivators each controlled their own magic tools and joined the battle. With the advantage of their magic tools, they were still able to tear apart the Tiger Striped Demonic Turtles' hard shells.
Clang clang … Lu Xiaotian's spirit tool, as well as Lü Feng and Lü Hui's saber and sword, respectively, were all repelled by the Tiger Striped Demonic Turtles' hard shells.
"What a strong defense." Lü Feng was shocked. Seeing two demonic turtles of similar size swimming over, Lü Feng and Lü Hui even wanted to break into a run.
Whoosh whoosh … The Tiger Striped Demonic Turtles spat out a few water spikes that pierced through Lü Hui's thighs. Fresh blood dyed the water even redder. The water here was already incomparably murky. If not for the Spirit Eye Technique, it would be impossible to fight the group of turtles in the water.
"Second Brother, retreat!" Lü Feng shouted in shock.
"Those who retreat will die!" Before Lü Feng's voice even faded, the Foundation Establishment cultivators behind them had already killed more than twenty Aura Refining cultivators who had escaped to the shore in a fit of rage. Regardless of whether they were Loose Cultivators or low-level members of the three great families, they were all forced into a dead end. Lü Feng, who had just caught Lü Hui and was about to retreat to the shore, had a bitter expression on his face as he charged back.
"Let's be careful. Don't be rash." Lu Xiaotian took out two Iron Thorn Seeds. Ever since he entered the Foundation Establishment realm, he hadn't used them. However, since it was a disguise, they could be put to good use.
The two Iron Thorn Vines were incomparably tough even though they were in the water. Under Lu Xiaotian's control, they quickly entangled the two Tiger Striped Demonic Turtles that were swimming over. The Tiger Striped Demonic Turtles were instantly enraged. They stretched out their heads and tried to bite off the Iron Thorn Vines, but they were pierced by the thorns and cried out in pain. Lu Xiaotian took advantage of the Tiger Striped Demonic Turtles' cries to cut off their heads.
Lü Feng and his brother were overjoyed. They followed suit and dealt with the other one. Then, the three of them joined forces to fight the remaining demonic turtle.
The supervising Foundation Establishment female cultivator originally swept her sharp gaze over Lu Feng and Lu Hui, who were about to retreat, but now, she suddenly changed her mind. When she saw that Lu Xiaotian and his two brothers had joined forces to deal with two demonic turtles and entangle the other one, she saw that they were intentionally moving to the back of the group. However, seeing that the three of them had contributed a lot compared to the other cultivators, the Foundation Establishment female cultivator from Yan Clan didn't reprimand them. After all, the other two to three cultivators were only able to entangle one demonic turtle in the water. Lu Xiaotian and his two brothers had already killed two of them.
Feeling the petite female cultivator's gaze move away, Lu Xiaotian heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what, being stared at was not an easy thing. Since the female Foundation Establishment cultivator had tacitly agreed to their actions, the rest of the matter would be much easier to handle.
"Roar!" A loud roar shook many people, causing the nearby Aura Refining cultivators to become dizzy. A mountain-sized Tiger Striped Demonic Turtle emerged from the bottom of the water with its four legs. The waves it created swept the low-level cultivators and the demonic turtles to the side.
