Inside the ice cave, there was a restriction set up by the Ice Demon Clan, preventing Mind Power from leaving the body.
However, the ice pillars and ice cones reflected the light from the outside world, making it possible to see things despite the darkness in the ice cave.
More than 30 miles into the ice cave, there was a spacious main passage. The surroundings were connected in all directions, crisscrossing with countless large and small passages.
This main passage was practically the only way to go deep into the ice cave.
At this moment, this place was silent, and there was not a single shadow of an Ice Silkworm. Even if martial artists passed by occasionally, they would quickly leave, heading deeper into the ice cave.
However, no one discovered that in an unremarkable fork in the road, there was an aura-concealing restriction, isolating everything inside the fork.
Inside this restriction, Ji Lengye, Ji Tianfeng, Ji Shangyong, and several dozen elite powerhouses of the Ji Family's main bloodline were gathered here, closely monitoring the martial artists passing by outside. Each of them had a sword in hand, fully alert, ready to unleash their most powerful attack at any time, blasting the target that might appear into dregs.
Without a doubt, this was an ambush.
At this very moment, a total of 46 powerhouses of the Ji Family's main bloodline were gathered here, all of them well-known figures in the main bloodline. Among them, the leaders were Ji Lengye and Ji Tianfeng.
In addition, there was another person whose strength was above Ji Lengye and Ji Tianfeng. This person was called Ji Wujiang.
Although he was only a branch disciple of the Ji Family's main bloodline, he won the respect of everyone in the Ji Family with his superb talent and strength, and was also valued by many of the Ji Family's older generation powerhouses.
He was only 76 years old and was already an initial-stage Divine Ability Realm powerhouse. There was a very high possibility that he would break through to the Divine Transformation Realm within 200 years, rising into the ranks of the world's true powerhouses.
In this mystic realm, Ji Wujiang was also the strongest person in the Ji Family's main bloodline.
Ji Wujiang, Ji Lengye, Ji Tianfeng, plus four other perfection Heavenly Transformation Realm powerhouses, as well as close to 40 elite powerhouses of the Ji Family, coupled with all kinds of powerful Dao Soldiers and treasures, this was an incomparably terrifying force.
With this force, it was more or less enough to sweep through half of the Demon Region. Any existence under Tier 5, once they fell into the ambush, it was absolutely difficult to escape death.
In the Ji Family, no one doubted that the damned target could escape this calamity.
"Is Ji Xiaodao's calculation accurate or not? Why hasn't Lin Xuan appeared yet? "
As time passed, Ji Tianfeng raised his sword-like eyebrows. A trace of impatience appeared on his face.
Most of the others also quietly frowned. It had been a while since the battle started, and logically speaking, Lin Xuan should have arrived by now. However, there was still no sign of his target, and this inevitably caused everyone to feel a little restless.
After all, everyone wanted to kill Lin Xuan as soon as possible so that they could catch the Ice Silkworm and snatch the treasure! If they were late and the treasures were already taken, they would have nowhere to cry.
Ji Wujiang said indifferently, "Xiao Dao's Divination Technique can still be trusted, but Lin Xuan has a way to restrain it after all. Xiao Dao doesn't dare to directly scheme against Lin Xuan. He only calculated that our target must pass through this path, and that's enough. Let's wait patiently for a while, Lin Xuan will eventually appear."
Ji Lengye swept his gaze over the surrounding people and said solemnly, "I know that everyone is in a hurry to capture the Ice Silkworms and seize the treasures! However, killing Lin Xuan is also a big matter.
As a person of the True Martial Domain, Lin Xuan was born to be a subordinate of our Ji Family's main bloodline. However, he dared to declare war in front of our Ji Family. This is the greatest provocation and humiliation to our Ji Family. This is slapping our Ji Family's face!
If we continue to let him live freely, where will our Ji Family put our face as a dignified descendant of the Human Emperor? How will the other branches view our main bloodline?
Therefore, Lin Xuan must die! Moreover, our main bloodline must personally take action to intimidate the rascals and subdue the other branches. We must protect the dignity of our Ji Family's main bloodline! "
"Young Master Lengye is right. Killing Lin Xuan is our most important matter right now. We must not lower our guard!" Ji Wujiang agreed.
"Hmph! A mere Lin Xuan dares to provoke our Ji Family. He is simply an ant trying to shake a tree! This young master will definitely chop him into minced meat later! "
"If we can't even deal with a mere Lin Xuan, how can our Ji Family subdue the four seas? Lin Xuan must die! My treasured sword is already unable to endure the thirst! "
"Kill Lin Xuan! Show our Ji Family's might! We will not shirk our responsibilities! "
The morale of the Ji Family's experts was like a rainbow, and their fighting spirit was boundless.
The sense of mission as the Human Emperor's descendant and the clan's honor as the human race's number one clan made them quickly throw away the thoughts of capturing ice silkworms and snatching treasures beyond the nine heavens. Only the thought of killing Lin Xuan remained in their minds.
Ji Lengye nodded his head in satisfaction as he looked at the numerous faces that were filled with boundless battle intent and were filled with an intimidating aura.
This was the attitude that the Ji Family's men should have. With this mindset, the Ji Family would never decline!
Time quietly passed.
Gradually, another five minutes passed. It had already been a long time since anyone passed by.
The Ji Family members started to suspect that Lin Xuan had taken another route and passed by.
However, at this moment, they didn't realize that a pair of eyes coldly stared at the Ji Family's location from a depth of five kilometers below them.
Without a doubt, the owner of this pair of eyes was Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan had already been here for a while.
He also couldn't release his Spiritual Energy, but he could use the luck observation divine ability to observe the martial fate of the Ji Family members and determine their location.
He could have bypassed the Ji Family's ambush and directly entered the ice cave to begin the treasure hunt.
However, he didn't plan to do so.
Now that he had already fallen out with the Ji Family, the next battle would definitely be a life and death battle.
Since that was the case, it was Lin Xuan's style to attack the enemy with all his might, by hook or by crook, and without holding back.
Therefore, Lin Xuan was waiting for an opportunity.
While he was observing the Ji Family's martial fate, he was also observing his own martial fate. From there, he would find a suitable opportunity to protect himself while killing the enemy as much as possible.
Time passed by slowly.
Unknowingly, 15 minutes had passed. A quarter of the treasure hunt had already passed.
The Ji Family members finally couldn't take it anymore.
"Forget it. Lin Xuan must have entered from another tunnel. We're probably just wasting time waiting here foolishly," Ji Tianfeng said.
Ji Wujiang also frowned. "It's already been so long. It's impossible that Lin Xuan hasn't entered yet! I think we should go in and take a look. After all, we all have a transmission artifact. The moment we find Lin Xuan, we can immediately gather our men and kill him in one fell swoop. If he comes, we can kill him and search for the treasure at the same time!
Ji Lengye nodded helplessly. "Alright, that's the only way! However, to prevent Lin Xuan from killing us one by one, I suggest we split into groups of five and move together. "
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other. Actually, everyone preferred to move alone. However, when they thought of Lin Xuan's powerful strength that severely injured Ji Shangyong with half a move, everyone was wary and finally agreed to Ji Lengye's suggestion.
Time was rather tight. After everyone roughly split into groups, they started to move separately.
Ji Tianfeng's group had one more person, a total of six people. Among them was Ji Shangyong.
Ji Tianfeng was confident that his strength was tyrannical and did not wish to team up with others. Even if he was alone, he also had the confidence to make Lin Xuan die without a burial ground.
However, as a member of the family, he had to contribute. If he only cared about his own interests and personal preferences, he would only be ostracized from the family's upper echelons in the end. This was not what Ji Tianfeng wanted.
He brought the five Ji Family experts and chose a tunnel that led to the depths of the ice cave, gradually going far away.
"Sigh, wasted 15 minutes for nothing. Looks like we have to hurry up. Otherwise, if the calamity transformation stone is obtained by others first, then it would be a waste of time."
"It's all Lin Xuan that little bastard's fault! When we catch him, we'll definitely make him regret coming to this world! "
"I heard that Lin Xuan has many treasures on him, no less than a treasure trove. I think that in this ice cave, other than the calamity transformation stone, only Lin Xuan is valuable!"
"That's right. Lin Xuan does indeed have a few treasures on him. Sword Maste's Seven Slaughter Shao Feng Sword and Ning Shidao's Divine Time Stone have all fallen into this brat's hands. I heard that this brat has some connection with a few treasures that have been passed down since ancient times. When we catch him, we'll definitely torture him out …"
"Hey! Quickly look, isn't that the Vanishing Shadow Ice Silkworm? "
The group of Ji Family members chatted as they walked. Suddenly, someone pointed at a corner a hundred meters away and shouted.
Everyone hurriedly looked over and saw a fat ice silkworm shining with silver light. It was drilling into the ice and gnawing on the ice. Sensing that someone was approaching, it only paused for a moment before continuing to eat heartily.
Ji Tianfeng's face lit up with joy. As the strongest person in this group, this first ice silkworm should naturally be his first.
Thus, he flew forward without hesitation and condensed a lightning claw. He instantly grabbed the one-meter square ice block around the ice silkworm and pulled it over.
Crack!
The ice block shattered, turning into ice shards on the ground.
However, Ji Tianfeng was somewhat dumbfounded because he shockingly discovered that the ice silkworm had disappeared.
"Hey, how is this possible?!"
Ji Tianfeng said in disbelief.
That ice silkworm was merely a Tier 1 desolate beast, but it was actually able to silently escape from the hands of a Perfect Stage Heavenly Transformation Realm expert. This simply made him very surprised.
"Young Master Tianfeng, this is only the periphery. It's nothing if one escapes. There are many more inside. Let's hurry up and leave!" Ji Shangyong seemed to be comforting him, but he was actually urging him.
"Vanishing Shadow Ice Silkworm, hehe. Interesting!"
Ji Tianfeng returned to his senses, smiled proudly, and continued forward.
At the same time, in a passageway less than five hundred meters away from Ji Tianfeng's group, Lin Xuan had already spread out his Dao Net Golden Ruyi and caught the second Vanishing Shadow Ice Silkworm.
Vanishing Shadow Ice Silkworm. The important part was the word 'Vanishing Shadow'. This ice silkworm actually knew the Ice Escape Divine Ability. It could instantly escape far away in the ice block without a trace, making it impossible to capture.
However, others couldn't do it, but that didn't mean that Lin Xuan couldn't do it.
