Ling Xiao performed the Cloud Dragon Nine Transformations, and his entire body seemed to transform into clouds and mist. He restrained his aura to the extreme and quickly headed towards the spirit stone mine.
The Lingshi Mine of Changshengmen is located in a valley between two mountains and is also known as the Twin Peaks Lingshi Mine.
There are mountains and ancient trees everywhere, which can be considered a blessed place. However, it is deep in the mountain range of ferocious beasts and is not safe. Therefore, the Changsheng Sect only built a base here to collect spirit stones.
This spiritual stone mine can provide Changshengmen with nearly 100,000 high-quality spiritual stones every year, which is enough to maintain Changshengmen's huge expenses.
If this spirit stone mine fell into the hands of the Hehuan Sect and the Heavenly Demon Palace, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although it is still uncertain what happened to the spirit stone mine, Ling Xiao instinctively felt that it should be related to the Hehuan Sect.
Ling Xiao did not choose to go to the spirit stone mine via the usual road, but instead carefully climbed up the Twin Peaks.
The Twin Peaks are extremely steep, sparsely populated and very difficult to travel. If someone really set an ambush in the spirit stone mine, Ling Xiao would naturally be able to escape unscathed.
Ling Xiao passed through a forest and finally came to a cliff halfway up the mountain.
Below is the spirit stone mine.
Ling Xiao carefully poked his head in to check and found that the spirit stone mine was empty and there were no disciples guarding it. There were only a few deep mine caves without a trace of light.
However, with Ling Xiao's extremely powerful mental strength, he was able to keenly sense a hint of crisis.
"There really is an ambush in the Spirit Stone Mine!"
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, and he began to slowly fall down along the uneven cliff.
His body was extremely nimble, like a monkey. He climbed the cliff as if he were walking on flat ground without making any sound.
The dead pines and vines on the cliff just blocked Ling Xiao's body. Even if there were people in the spirit stone mine below, they would not be able to find Ling Xiao's trace.
When Ling Xiao was still several dozen feet away from the spirit stone mine below, he heard a faint conversation coming from an ancient tree on the left.
"kindness?"
Ling Xiao's eyes moved and he sneaked over quietly.
It was a huge ancient tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, and a dome that reached into the sky. Two young men wearing Yin-Yang Taoist robes stood on the treetop, looking around with sharp eyes.
"Brother Wang, there's no need for us to be so vigilant, right? The people from the Changsheng Sect are all a bunch of rubbish. If they dare to come, the elders will be able to take care of them right away!"
One of the young men at the first level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm spoke in a low voice.
"Junior Brother Zhang, you can't let your guard down. Several elders, the deputy sect master, and the people from the Heavenly Demon Palace have reached a critical moment. It won't take long before they can break the restriction of that cave. You must not make any mistakes at this time. You must be careful of the Changsheng Sect sending people again! After all, there are also masters in the Changsheng Sect!"
Senior Brother Wang has already reached the third level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and was born to remind him.
"oh!"
Junior Brother Zhang nodded, his eyes rolled, and he laughed, "Senior Brother Wang, what do you think is inside that cave? Will there be many precious spiritual weapons, elixirs, and supreme magical skills? I wonder if we can get in and search for treasures after the restriction is broken!"
"I'm not too sure, but I heard from the elders that the cave seems to be the cave of a powerful person in the Heaven Realm. The people of Changsheng Sect are a bunch of idiots, guarding a treasure mountain without knowing it. This is a good thing for us! Don't think too much, just do your own thing, and you and I will benefit from it!"
Senior Brother Wang gave a warning.
On the cliff about ten feet away from them, there was fog and mist everywhere, and ancient pines were knotty. Ling Xiao was hidden in the fog, but when he heard what the two men said, his eyes moved.
"A cave dwelling in the Heavenly Man Realm? I didn't expect that this time the Hehuan Sect and the Heavenly Demon Palace would collude with each other. But how did they find a cave dwelling in the Heavenly Man Realm in the spirit stone mine?"
Ling Xiao's eyes flickered and he sensed that something was wrong.
Judging from what the two Hehuan Sect disciples said, there are quite a few masters dispatched by the Hehuan Sect and the Heavenly Demon Palace this time, and there should probably be more than one Grandmaster-level expert.
As for the treasures in the cave of the Heavenly Realm, Ling Xiao did not take them seriously.
Are you kidding? With his title of Heaven Devouring Supreme, how could he possibly be interested in a treasure from the Heaven Realm? In Ling Xiao's memory, any martial arts he picked out were all supreme and earth-shattering divine skills.
As for elixirs and magic weapons, Ling Xiao himself is the unrivaled supreme master of elixirs and magic weapons. The most that can be found in the cave of the Heaven and Human Realm are some magic weapons and elixirs, which are nothing special.
What Ling Xiao cares most about is finding a way to rescue the disciples of Changsheng Sect.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he quietly flew towards the ancient tree.
It was as if a cloud of mist was passing by and a mountain breeze was blowing. Ling Xiao's figure instantly appeared above the ancient tree. Then he pointed in the air and a sword of energy shot out and instantly hit the disciple who was at the first level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Finger magic, a low-grade earth-level martial art!
This unique skill is to compress the internal energy into a sharp sword of energy, which is then shot out through the ten meridians of both hands. It is extremely powerful and can kill people without them even noticing.
However, Ling Xiao did not kill him. Instead, he used a sword of energy to point at the acupoints of the first-level Spiritual Transformation disciple, immobilizing him.
"who?!"
Senior Brother Wang was very alert. He reacted almost the moment Ling Xiao made his move. A cold light flashed in his eyes and he shouted coldly.
When he turned around and saw that Ling Xiao was only at the True Qi realm, he was stunned for a moment, and a hint of sneer appeared in his eyes.
"People from Changsheng Sect? You dare to come and die in the ninth level of Zhenqi realm?"
He suddenly slapped out with his palm, creating a surge of energy that made the ancient trees tremble, and a huge palm print covered Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao's eyes turned cold, and he did not dodge or evade. He also punched out with a powerful punch, like the angry eyes of a diamond, and suddenly hit Senior Brother Wang.
boom!
Senior Brother Wang spat out a mouthful of blood as if he was struck by lightning, but before he could open his mouth to shout, Ling Xiao punched him in the abdomen again, blasting away all the energy in his body.
Just as he was about to desperately call for help, a cold light hit his chest.
"If you don't want to die, shut up!"
Ling Xiao's cold voice rang in his ears, and Senior Brother Wang shuddered all over and immediately became obedient.
Although the fight between Ling Xiao and Senior Brother Wang ended in just a few breaths, some noise was still heard, alarming the people below.
"Wang Bo, what happened?"
Two young men in black appeared from a huge rock below, each with a cold gaze and a surging demonic aura.
These two people are actually disciples of the Heavenly Demon Palace, and both have reached the third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
