At the end of the day, the Lion Crocodile was much weaker than Lu Xiaotian. After the Earth Puppet stopped the bone claws, the Blazing Flame Sword cut off the Lion Crocodile's tail with a destructive aura. Lu Xiaotian stretched out his hand and the grey box containing the Seven Nights Ancient Flower was sucked into his hand. He could feel a strong suction force from the box. It came from the black mirror. However, Lu Xiaotian sneered. The grey box flashed and disappeared into his storage pouch, completely cutting off the mysterious connection between the grey box and the black mirror.
On the other side of the black mirror, the green-armored skeleton was infuriated. It was wearing a green armor and a long green cloak. Deep in its eye sockets, a purple flame was flickering. It reached out its hand and slapped. Next, a hundred-meter tall hill beside it was crushed into powder. However, this was still not enough to show its anger. Although the speed of improvement of the kid in front of it every time they met surprised it, compared to the green armored skeleton, the kid was still pitifully weak. However, it was this weak human in front of it that always ruined its plans. This Seven Nights Ancient Flower was different from the ordinary ones. It was also very useful to the green armored skeleton. It had discovered it by chance and arranged for the Lion Crocodile, Lu Heng, and the three skulls to act as backup. It could also absorb a part of the Seven Nights Ancient Flower's power. Its strength was much stronger than the five peak Foundation Establishment cultivators. However, who would have thought that the six Foundation Establishment cultivators who arrived here, although their cultivation was not high, three of them actually had Jindan magical items. Could it be that precious items like Jindan magical items were already rampant in the human race? Because the tunnel was not stable enough, it could only send a small part of its power over. It could not send it to the other side. The green armored skeleton had a lot of power, but it could only watch as the thing it wanted fell into the hands of the other party. However, it was not that it did not have a chance. The smoke formed by the skulls had already touched Lu Xiaotian's body. At such a close distance, it was impossible to guard against it. As long as the skulls killed this annoying Lu Xiaotian and that troublesome thunder cultivator was injured again, it would still have a chance to deal with these guys in front of it.
"What?" Soon, the green skeleton in the black mirror lost its color. The smoke from the skull had already invaded Lu Xiaotian's body, but Lu Xiaotian's body faintly emitted a red light with a hint of gold. The red scales under his clothes were faintly visible, blocking the smoke outside his body.
The skull was extremely greedy for the powerful flesh and blood in Lu Xiaotian's body, but it was also extremely anxious. The other party's defense was too strong, and there was no way it could enter.
Lu Xiaotian wasn't too sure about this change. In short, he attributed it to the defensive power of the Vast Battle Physique. It seemed like the Limitless Battle Physique's defense wasn't limited to magical weapons and swords. It also had a miraculous effect against attacks from ghosts.
At this moment, Su Qing had recovered to this extent with Luo Qian's help. She expelled the grey smoke that had invaded her body. At the same time, she and Luo Qian saw the grey smoke that Lu Xiaotian had forced back. While they were shocked, they were unable to discover the abnormalities on Lu Xiaotian's body. Naturally, they had no way of knowing how powerful it was.
The smoke formed by the skulls couldn't do anything to him. Lu Xiaotian was overjoyed. At the same time, he no longer had any misgivings. He activated the power of the Blazing Flame Sword to the extreme. The raging flames were the flames of extreme Yang that were activated using transcendence energy. They also had a certain restraining effect on evil ghosts. Moreover, they were activated from a Jindan magical weapon. The smoke skulls that were burned by the flames of the Blazing Flame Sword cried out in pain. In the blink of an eye, the grey smoke had become much thinner.
The grey smoke skulls didn't seem as ferocious as before. Could it be because the Seven Night Hell Ancient Flower had been put away? Lu Xiaotian had some guesses in his heart. Only then would it make sense. Although ghosts were more difficult to deal with and were far more powerful than ordinary cultivators of the same level, it didn't make sense for them to be able to easily crush them who were wielding Jindan magical weapons.
"These damned skeletons have become weaker!" Very soon, Su Qing and Luo Qian, who were both very experienced in battle, noticed the changes in front of them. They pulled themselves together and attacked the skeletons together with Lu Xiaotian. Because they had already turned into incorporeal bodies and didn't have the Seven Night Hell Ancient Flower, the three of them wielding Jindan magical weapons, and Luo Qian's power of thunder and lightning, it didn't take long for Luo Qian to kill one of the grey smoke skulls with his Lightning Spear. Lu Xiaotian also killed another with his Blazing Flame Sword. The remaining one was also killed by Su Qing's Golden Fish Scale Whip.
In this bizarre encounter, they had lost two people. Apart from Lu Xiaotian who had obtained the Seven Night Hell Ancient Flower, the others had all suffered some losses in the fierce battle.
After the black mirror disappeared and the skeletons were killed, the Baleful Yin Qi in the surroundings actually vanished completely in the blink of an eye. Everyone was astonished. At the place where the black mirror disappeared, a faint light appeared. As they walked closer to take a look, they found that the crack actually led to a rather spacious place, connected to another place. Previously, everyone had thought that this place was a dangerous place. After the black mirror disappeared, this place was revealed, and they could feel the dense spiritual energy rushing towards them.
"Let's go and see what this place is." Su Qing's eyes flashed. Without waiting for anyone to reply, she took a few steps forward and passed through the narrow passage in the crack.
Hu Ruining looked at Lu Xiaotian and Luo Qian with an inquiring gaze. Lu Xiaotian only pretended not to see it. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he followed closely behind.
After passing through the crack, the world before them suddenly opened up. The sky was clear and the air was clear. Blue sky, white clouds, and lush green grass.
"Don't forget that we still have the mission of patrolling the foreign cultivators near Profound Leaf City. We've already spent quite a bit of time on our journey. We're almost at Profound Leaf City now. Should we report to the city first?" Hu Ruining suggested.
"What's there to report? The palace only told us to come to Profound Leaf City. When the time comes, we'll just have to kill a few more foreign cultivators, and that'll be enough to complete the mission. We've come to this mysterious place with great difficulty, so how can we return empty-handed?" Su Qing pursed her lips.
"But?"
"No buts. It's up to you whether you want to go or not. In any case, I'm not going."
After saying that, Su Qing looked at Luo Qian and Lu Xiaotian. Seeing the two of them nod slightly, she smiled happily. Compared to outsiders, having the support of the two of them was more than enough.
"Well, then we'll listen to Senior Sister Su and the two Senior Brothers," Hu Ruining said helplessly.
Although Lu Xiaotian was following Su Qing, he secretly noticed that there was a hint of surprise on Su Qing's face when she saw the scene in front of her. Thinking of what Su Hongtao said before leaving the Divine Firmament Palace, Lu Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat. "Could it be?" Lu Xiaotian was not sure about his guess, but it was useless to think too much about it. Originally, when he came with Su Qing this time, he had already made up his mind to follow her. If he guessed correctly, Su Qing should have found some clues related to the Gold-Condensing Fruit. Thinking of the Gold-Condensing Fruit, Lu Xiaotian felt a burst of excitement for no reason. It seemed that this time, although they had a big fight with a few skulls, they had not gained nothing.
The few of them flew in the air for a while. Occasionally, they could see wild beasts running on the ground, or a few types of low-level spirit beasts. With their current strength, even ordinary fourth-level spirit beasts would not be of much interest to them. However, this place was a bit strange. After wandering around for a few days, they had seen a lot of mountains and rivers. There were also some low-level spirit objects, but they did not find anything too valuable.
As a result, Xia Ruining was the first to become impatient. He said in a deep voice, "This time, we're not out for sightseeing. I'm going to Xuanye City to meet other Senior Brothers of the Immortal Palace. If you want to go back later, please forgive me for not accompanying you."
"So much nonsense. If you want to go, just go. Who would want to keep you?"
Su Qing crossed her arms and was too lazy to pay attention to Xia Ruining. The one who spoke was Lu Qian. Xia Ruining finally looked at Lu Xiaotian and found that Lu Xiaotian was looking at him with a playful expression, as if waiting to see him make a fool of himself. For Lu Xiaotian, as long as he followed Su Qing, it was not important whether he really went to Xuanye City or not. It turned out that he was already an isolated person among these people. Xia Ruining could not help but feel a bit angry. With a livid face, he turned around and flew away without saying anything.
"I knew you two would support me." Seeing Xia Ruining leave in a huff, Su Qing smiled with joy.
"Let's not talk about this. Now that the idlers have left, there is no need to take us around in circles." Lu Xiaotian looked at Su Qing with an inquiring gaze.
"How did you see through it?" Not only did Lu Qian have a trace of doubt on his face, but Su Qing herself was even more surprised. She originally thought that she had done well enough, but she did not expect Lu Xiaotian to have seen through it long ago.
"I guessed it. I didn't think there really was such a thing." Lu Xiaotian shrugged.
"You are so cunning." Su Qing did not expect that Lu Xiaotian was actually tricking her. However, there was not a trace of anger on her face. Instead, there was a trace of admiration. What attracted her to Lu Xiaotian was not his strong battle prowess, but his unique temperament of wisdom and calmness. That was what really fascinated people. And among those self-confident cultivators, there was no lack of suave and elegant people. However, she had seen too many people with only gold and jade. Su Qing had a kind of disgust from the bottom of her heart towards those who wanted to get close to her because of their superior appearance.
"It was not convenient to tell you before because there were outsiders present. Now, those who are dead are dead, and those who are gone are gone. I will not hide it from you two. This trip is for the Gold Condensing Fruit. However, after finding the Gold Condensing Fruit, I want to get it first. If there are more than three fruits, the extra ones will be mine. You two will do your best to assist me. Is there a problem? "Su Qing stared at the two and said.
After Luo Qian heard the news about the Gold Condensing Fruit, he was shocked at first, but then he said as a matter of course, "I will do whatever Junior Martial Sister says."
"No problem." Lu Xiaotian secretly thought that it was just as he had expected. It was just that Su Qing actually told the two of them about such an important matter. It was obvious that she had absolute trust in them.
"That's good. Let's go." Su Qing heard this and breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled happily. She was clear about Luo Qian's thoughts. He looked proud and arrogant, but he was also loyal and upright. He was not a person with bad intentions. There was nothing to say to her. On the contrary, in the eyes of most people, the ordinary and low-key Lu Xiaotian had more ideas. However, Su Qing also trusted Lu Xiaotian. As long as Lu Xiaotian agreed, he would not go back on his words. If it was an ordinary small matter, Su Qing naturally did not need the two of them to solemnly guarantee it. However, it was related to the Gold Condensing Fruit. Her grandfather, Su Qing, had repeatedly instructed her. Su Qing also prepared an ambush first.
After Xia Ruining left, the atmosphere between the three of them became much more harmonious. Although Luo Qian still had some conflict with Lu Xiaotian, this could be considered an internal conflict. Once they encountered an external enemy, the three of them had fought side by side several times and were also from the same sect. Naturally, their relationship was incomparably solid. Moreover, their cultivation bases were not low. Each of them had a Jindan magic tool. Even an ordinary ninth layer Foundation Establishment cultivator was far from being their match. Su Qing and Luo Qian also knew that Lu Xiaotian had a peak sixth rank earth puppet in his hands. Its attack power was powerful, and its defensive ability was extremely abnormal. It would be difficult to find a match within the Foundation Establishment realm. Previously, the peak ghost monkey skull had also been chased and beaten by the earth puppet.
Although the number of people was a bit small, Su Qing and Luo Qian were quite confident. Compared to the time when they had just entered the Foundation Establishment realm and received the outer patrol mission, their mentality was completely different.
However, not long after the three of them left, a familiar figure returned to the same spot like a ghost. Feeling the faint fluctuations of transcendence energy in the air, the shadow stood still, revealing the face of Xia Ruining who had found an excuse to leave earlier.
"As soon as I left, this little bitch was talking and laughing with those two brats. Clearly, they were planning something. I'll follow them and see what they're planning. If they're scheming for some treasure, I'll bring people to be the oriole behind. If they're really going on a sightseeing tour, I'll wait for my people to arrive and set up a trap. Then, I'll surround and kill those three and seize their Jindan magic tools. Not only will I return with a great merit, but I'll also get a windfall. " Xia Ruining's face was full of undisguised greed. At this time, there was no one around, so there was simply no need to hide anything. Xia Ruining made an inconspicuous signal. It looked like the footprints left behind by an ordinary wild boar running through the soft grass. Perhaps even if others saw it, it would be difficult to discover anything.
However, what Xia Ruining didn't know was that after Su Qing and the other two left, Lu Xiaotian would occasionally inadvertently glance back.
"Brother Lu, what are you looking back for?" Su Qing had originally been paying attention to Lu Xiaotian, so naturally, she also noticed Lu Xiaotian's actions.
"Nothing. I just felt that Xia Ruining's previous actions were a bit strange," Lu Xiaotian said indifferently.
"What's so strange about that? You just like to be paranoid. Right, I remember a few years ago, during the great battle between us and the foreign cultivators, before you left, you told me to be careful of Senior Brother Xun. After leaving such a strange sentence, you left. After that, I didn't see Senior Brother Xun do anything to us."
