The man who came was none other than the great cultivator of Feijian Palace, Wang Yong, who had led his disciples to Yanlai Village to pursue Master Lu. Feijian Palace was the largest sect and was famous for its swordsmanship. This man was an Inner Alchemy cultivator, and even though his cultivation was suppressed, he was still a great threat.
"Trouble." Shi Ling said to himself.
On the stone platform, Wang Yong bowed to the two Yuan clan monks and said, "Brothers, how are you?"
"So it's Master Wang. I mistaken you for someone else. Please don't blame me." The two Yuan cultivators also politely returned the greeting, as if the person who had just attacked was not them.
Wang Yong looked at the stone box and said with a smile, "It seems that you haven't succeeded yet."
The two Yuan clan monks cursed in their hearts, but put on a fake smile: "Shame on us, we are not as skilled as you, brother Wang, you came just in time."
Feijian Palace and the Yuan family are both nominally righteous, but the Kuxue Sect is a demonic sect, so the Kuxue Sect monk did not dare to act rashly and stood aside without saying a word.
Wang Yong did not refuse after hearing this: "You two are too modest. I will give it a try."
Apparently he had been watching in secret for a long time and had an idea in mind. He walked towards the stone table, and when the sword intent in the box was activated, he quickly took out a talisman from his sleeve and threw it towards the sword intent coming from the opposite side. The talisman was stimulated by the sword intent and suddenly burst out with a powerful sword move!
Sword Talisman.
In the passage, Gu Pinglin nodded secretly.
The sword talisman was refined in advance by the cultivator, and it can contain a sword move that can save lives at critical moments. The cultivation suppression here is aimed at people, and the power of this move from the sword talisman will not be affected. It is rare that he can think of this method in a short time.
The sword intent was broken, so the other three people on the stone platform would not be polite and rushed towards the stone box at the same time!
Unexpectedly, several more people appeared from the surrounding passages and rushed towards the stone platform along the chains. They seemed to be the ones who had been waiting for a long time. Due to the obstruction of the earth's energy, they could not catch them in mid-air, so they had to show up to snatch them.
"The Yugui Sect, the Ji Clan, the Lihen Palace, the Duan Clan... eh?" Gu Pinglin turned to look at the people around him, "Your father is here too."
Duan Qingming sighed: "I really want to change my mind. If he had obtained the inheritance, he would not force me to go back."
Gu Pinglin sneered: "Yes, he only knows how to clean up the house."
Wang Yong on the other side was well prepared. He took the scroll in his hand at the first moment, rushed towards the chains, and used his sword energy to clear a path. He mercilessly cut down the Ghost-Controlling Sect monk who was rushing towards him. The man was instantly swallowed up by the earth's energy, and turned to ashes before he could even scream.
Even so, everyone still came up to surround them regardless. How tempting was the god-level martial arts.
Under extreme tension and excitement, Wang Yong's eyes turned red and he rushed out like a devil. His cultivation was suppressed here, but the power of his swordsmanship was magnified. The swordsmanship of Feijian Palace was extraordinary. At this moment, he tried his best to fight for his life and successfully rushed out of the stone platform. It was also a coincidence that he happened to escape into the passage where Shi Ling and Qi Yanfeng were hiding.
The sound of a flute suddenly arose.
Wang Yong had just rushed out of the encirclement and had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief when he was attacked head-on. Fortunately, he was experienced and avoided the attack. However, this delay allowed Duan Pin and others to catch up with him. In a rage, he slashed at Shi Ling with a sword: "Whoever stands in my way will die!"
Shi Ling did not expect to succeed, he just wanted to stop him and retreat once his goal was achieved, but the passage was narrow and the sword energy swept through, leaving him with almost no place to hide. Shi Ling practiced the Way of Happy Heaven, so he did not have much advantage in the battle, but he was well prepared and rushed straight towards Qi Yanfeng.
Qi Yanfeng is very talented in swordsmanship, so the position she chose must be one where there is a gap in sword energy.
The seasonal bet was right.
The two of them squeezed into the narrow gap. Qi Yanfeng was forcibly hugged by him, and his face turned red with shame. However, his true energy was sealed, so how could he break free? Fortunately, everyone's attention was on Wang Yong and the "Creation Art" at the moment, including the two Yuan family monks, and no one had time to greet her.
Shi Ling took the opportunity to shout: "The Art of Creation is in Wang Yong's hands!"
Wang Yong was extremely angry. He blocked the attacks of everyone and then another sword came at him.
"Now you can only survive by following me." Shi Ling whispered.
Qi Yanfeng cried as he helped him avoid the fatal attack.
The swordsmanship of the Duan family is slightly inferior to that of the Feijian Palace, but it is also first-rate. With the siege of the crowd, Wang Yong was at a loss. He barely managed to maneuver for a moment, and was accidentally hit by Duan Pin's sword. Seeing that his life was in danger, he finally woke up, gritted his teeth and threw the scroll into the air: "I have no chance to inherit the legacy, you can rely on your own abilities."
In an instant, everyone rushed forward, sword energy and magic realm collided, and cracks appeared on the walls of the passage and the ground!
Shi Ling was watching the battle closely, trying to find an opportunity to strike, but he suddenly saw cracks on the ground. He was stunned at first, then his face changed: "Not good, let's go!"
"Why?" Qi Yanfeng asked while sobbing.
“Stop talking nonsense,” Shi Ling growled, “This is the place where our ancestors passed down their legacy. The quality of the rocks is obviously different. How can it be shattered by just a few moves?”
It wasn't the passage that was cracked, but the entire cave was collapsing!
He was also decisive. Since the inheritance said no, he gave up. He dragged Qi Yanfeng carefully around the battle circle and retreated outwards.
Once the inheritance is revealed, the cave will be destroyed. Gu Pinglin knew this long ago, so he did not panic. He still stood at the corner, waiting to confirm the final result.
"What's going on!" exclaimed.
In full view of everyone, the scroll exploded on its own!
In an instant, everyone stopped moving, standing still on the spot, including Duan Pin, who had just received the scroll. They could only watch the fragments burning and dissipating in the air, along with the god-level skills on them, turning into nothing.
Gu Pinglin was very satisfied with the result: "Let's go."
The two turned around and followed Shi Ding, intending to leave. However, after they had taken a few steps, a faint fragrance suddenly wafted from the front.
"Hold your breath quickly!" Shi Ding, who was in front, was most familiar with this smell. He immediately covered Qi Yanfeng's mouth and nose with his hands and retreated with her.
Gu Pinglin and the other man also stopped.
"Shi Ding, why are you running away when you see us?" A soft voice sounded, and a graceful figure appeared at the corner.
Shi Ling remained calm and said, "It turns out that the queen has escaped."
Lady Huanxi asked, "You seem disappointed?"
"No," Shi Ling said, "I just want to get the Creation Art for you, so I came here first. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Yes, you are always considerate," Lady Huanxi raised her eyebrows slightly and walked towards him slowly, "You stole the "Short Spring Night" technique for me, too?"
Shi Ling said calmly: "I stole "A Short Spring Night" just for myself."
The Happy Lady was silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "Forget it. Over the years, I believe you also know that you are the person I value the most and the one I am most reluctant to part with. It's just a matter of one thought. If you plead guilty, I will never blame you."
"Now that there is an opportunity, no one wants to give up. I have been controlled by it for many years. If Your Majesty..." Shi Ling was dealing with her while thinking of a countermeasure, but he felt a chill in his chest. He instinctively dodged and pushed the person in his arms away. He looked over with pain and saw a dagger stuck in his chest. If he hadn't reacted in time, the knife would have cut off his heart.
“I… I…” Qi Yanfeng didn’t expect that he could dodge. He was so scared that his face turned pale, his whole body was shaking, and tears kept falling.
Shi Ling was stunned and laughed: "You little girl, you are looking for death!"
Qi Yanfeng's major acupoints were sealed, and she could hardly use her true energy. She was about to be captured, but Gu Pinglin was quick-witted and pulled her to his side first.
"Master Gu, wuuuu--" Qi Yanfeng came to his senses, grabbed his sleeve and burst into tears.
Knowing her temper, Gu Pinglin did not say anything to comfort her and turned behind her.
Duan Pin and others came out one after another, all in a hurry. It was obvious that they had discovered something was wrong. When they saw the situation outside, they were all stunned.
Shi Ling pulled out the dagger from his chest, sealed the acupuncture points to stop the bleeding, without even frowning. Seriously injured, the situation unexpectedly reversed, he knew he was doomed, so without saying a word, he flew forward, pointed his bamboo flute, and three green airs went straight to Empress Huanxi, trying to break out of the situation.
As the leader of Happy Heaven, Lady Huanxi did not dare to take on Shi Ding's killing move head-on: "If you can help me capture our traitor Shi Ding, Happy Heaven will reward you handsomely!"
Huanle Tianming is a sect of demon cultivators, but has no conflict of interest with the righteous path. The righteous people are concerned about their reputation and are reluctant to show interest in her "generous reward", except for Wang Yong - he could have taken the inheritance away smoothly, but failed because of Shi Ding. He had long wanted to tear Shi Ding into pieces, and without the Queen Huanxi's call, he had already swung his sword to kill Shi Ding. Several demon cultivators had no such concerns. Their Creation Art was destroyed, and they were holding their breath. Upon hearing this, they all pressed towards Shi Ding.
Facing the siege, Shi Ling was not panicked: "Good timing!"
As the bamboo flute turned, five-colored air spread.
"Be careful!" The medicines at that time were extremely famous, and everyone knew how powerful they were, so they all retreated.
The poisonous gas did not distinguish between friend and foe, and the righteous people also retreated. The narrow passage fell into chaos again. Gu Pinglin suddenly rose from the ground and floated in the air like a bat, avoiding the sword energy attacking from behind.
"Uncle, wait a minute!" Qi Yanfeng stopped him.
Duan Pin pushed her towards Yuan with a palm and shouted coldly: "Youngsters are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of adults!"
Without conflict of interest, relatives are still relatives, and the two Yuans cooperated to take in Qi Yanfeng.
It goes without saying why Duan Pin suddenly attacked. Gu Pinglin frowned, spun around and landed, but before he could stand firm, another wave of swords came over. Duan Pin was the head of the Duan family, and he was well-informed. Using the Creation Art might only arouse his suspicion, so Gu Pinglin gave up the idea of retaliating and simply flashed to Duan Qingming's side and pushed him out with a palm.
"Oh, so ruthless." Duan Qingming smiled lightly, without any resistance, he went towards Duan Pin's sword.
Duan Pin really drew his sword: "Fool! Let's see how he treats you!"
Gu Pinglin took the opportunity to rush out two meters away and entered the battle circle on Shi Ling's side. Those people naturally would not stop him. Seeing that he was about to escape, a Yuan family cultivator was well prepared and made a gesture with his fingers, and two silver chains appeared out of thin air!
His eyes suddenly turned cold, Gu Pinglin lightly raised his finger, a purple light flashed, and with one move of "March Oriole Flying", he cut off the silver chain.
"Good swordsmanship," Duan Pin was slightly moved, but when he saw Gu Ying's sword clearly, he immediately became furious, "Asshole!"
Some of his feelings of cherishing talent disappeared after seeing the belongings of his first wife. He was determined to clear up this scandal and became more determined to get rid of Gu Pinglin.
Sensing the fatal move, Gu Pinglin did not panic. With the advantage of his cultivation, he drew his sword to block the attack. Unexpectedly, he heard a cry, and when he turned around, he saw Qi Yanfeng flying towards him!
Gu Pinglin immediately drew back his sword and stretched out his hand to catch it, but he not only failed to catch it, but was knocked a dozen feet away by her. Gu Pinglin then realized that he had made a mistake.
This kind of force... She didn't take the initiative to block it!
"Yanfeng!" Duan Pin was shocked.
The sword energy has been released and there is no way to retreat. Qi Yanfeng falls into the sword net, and her major acupoints are sealed. She has no power to resist. This time she will either die or be injured!
"Everyone be careful!" The voice of the Happy Lady came from the other side, "It's poisonous!"
"Despicable!" Amid the sound of the flute, Shi Ling released a large cloud of poisonous fog, forcing Wang Yong and others to retreat. Everyone thought he was going to take the opportunity to escape, but unexpectedly, he suddenly turned back and rushed towards Qi Yanfeng!
As luck would have it, Gu Pinglin was knocked out of the sword net and fell into the battle circle over there!
The accident happened in an instant, and no one expected such a coincidence.
After inhaling the poisonous fog, Gu Pinglin was shocked. He remained calm, used the Creation Technique to suppress the toxicity, and decisively went towards Shi Ling.
Shi Ling barely took Duan Pin's killing move and rescued Qi Yanfeng, but he was injured again. Seeing that he could not escape, he also killed frantically and threw Qi Yanfeng away: "Come on!"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the cracked stones on the ground suddenly trembled up and down, like a dragon turning over. The gaps on the ground and walls quickly widened, and large pieces of rubble above head fell down one after another!
“Go!”
“It’s going to collapse!”
The fire on the wall gradually went out, the light dimmed, and everyone fled in a hurry without caring about the time.
It was not advisable to stay here for long. Gu Pinglin pushed aside some rubble and took advantage of the chaos to rush towards Shi Ling. Shi Ling could no longer hold on and fell to the ground. Unexpectedly, Qi Yanfeng walked a few steps with Duan Pin and others, suddenly flashed back, helped him up and rushed into a passage next to him. It seemed that Shi Ling had just untied her acupoints.
Gu Pinglin never expected this to happen. He hurriedly followed into the passage, but he was still a step too slow. The huge rock above his head suddenly collapsed, blocking the road ahead.
My heart sank.
Gu Pinglin’s face was as cold as ice and he slapped out with all his strength.
Just as Shi Ding said, the stone material of the Creation Cave is extraordinary. Even after being attacked by the Creation Qi, there is not even the slightest crack.
Gu Pinglin clapped his hands several times and confirmed that this road was not feasible. He made a prompt decision and turned back to look for the nearest route.
