Almost at the same time when the eleven shadows disappeared into the Nine Nether Cave, Yan Liqiang, who had been maintaining a mysterious connection with the Fiery-Eyed Golden Eagle, opened his eyes. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and a strange smile appeared on his face. He seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered to himself, "Is it finally here?"
At this moment, Yan Liqiang was in the deepest part of Jiuyou Cave, in an underground cave about the size of a football field, sitting cross-legged on a lotus-shaped stalactite.
The terrain of this place is relatively flat. Among the rocks around the cave, there are a large number of fine fluorite crystals and blue and purple crystals. They are sparkling and emit a faint light in the darkness, turning this place into a magnificent and mysterious world of purple and blue interwoven together.
If one wants to go into seclusion, this is indeed a good place to do so. Doing so in such a place will make one feel that one's brain is more ethereal and it is easier to enter a state of concentration. Yan Liqiang has been practicing in seclusion here these days, while waiting for the fish to be hooked. However, upon closer inspection, one can find that the terrain in this cave is somewhat similar to the terrain of the nine-headed giant snake that Yan Liqiang encountered underground in the Snake God Tribe of the Black Jie people - both are huge underground spaces shaped like gourds, and both have only one very narrow entrance that can accommodate only three or four people at a time. However, there is also an underground lake in the huge underground space of the Snake God Tribe, and there is another entrance in the underground lake. Here is the ground, and there are no extra entrances.
It was the near-death experience in the Snake God Tribe that gave Yan Liqiang the inspiration to lure the enemy into a trap this time. He set up a killing array in a similar place and waited for the powerful enemy to come to him...
The Sha Yan team entered the cave. The Fiery Golden Eagle soaring in the sky circled twice in the sky, then swooped down directly towards a place more than ten miles away from Wangtian Peak, landed steadily on the top of a mountain, and roared twice.
Also on this mountain, Cui Lichen looked at the golden eagle with golden feathers that was not stained by rain at all, and turned to Li Hongtu and Ji Xiaoyao and said, "Let's go, Li Qiang has given us a signal, those people have entered the cave!"
"Li Qiang is taking too much of a risk this time. I told you before that I could pretend to be him in the cave, but he still didn't want to do it because he was afraid of making mistakes. Let's go, I want to see what those bastards are capable of. Where can the White Lotus Sect find so many powerful masters? Damn it, where can there be so many martial kings and emperors in this world..." Li Hongtu, who was holding a bright silver spear, muttered, and without waiting for the two of them, he stepped out from the peak of the mountain and fell down the mountain like a meteor.
Ji Xiaoyao, who was carrying a large bow on his back, didn't say anything, but just smiled, then took the same step out from the mountain peak. Cui Lichen followed closely behind him. In the blink of an eye, the three of them were like three meteors, disappearing into the heavy rain and rapidly approaching Wangtian Peak.
…
The Jiuyou Cave is deep and rugged. After entering the cave, the entire cave goes deep into the mountain, winding all the way down.
The ceiling of the entire cave is covered with huge stalactites hanging down from everywhere. Water is dripping from many of the stalactites, and the dripping sound is particularly crisp and loud in the cave. The further you go into the cave, the more stalactites there are, and they are bigger and more varied. There are 10,000 Dragon Tooth soldiers stationed outside the cave to guard it, but inside the cave, there is no one. Except for some bats and insects that live in the cave, there are almost no other living creatures here.
The cave was not completely dark. A few hundred meters into the cave, on the rock walls on both sides of the cave and on the Zhongruo stones, there were things like fluorite powder that could glow in the dark. They were scattered among the stones, bringing a faint light to the entire cave. Occasionally, if one had good eyesight, one could see some vague images of people and animals and messy text on the rock walls on both sides of the cave. Those things were all messy cultivation methods, like someone's draft. After seeing these things in the cave, the group of people became more determined.
The eleven members of the Killing Team who entered the cave ran as fast as lightning, scaring the bats in the cave and making them fly up, making bursts of screams. However, it was raining heavily outside at the moment, with lightning and thunder, and the startled bats did not fly out of the cave, but circled in the cave. After one person left, they hung upside down again in the rock walls and crevices of the cave.
The sound of the bats obviously startled the eleven people, causing them to rush into the cave even faster. After going more than four or five thousand meters deep into the cave, they saw that the terrain of the cave suddenly extended downwards, and the entrance of the cave became much narrower. The old man with dead eyes who was the leader of the eleven people in the Killing Team spoke in a deep voice while running, "No. 3, No. 7, No. 9, No. 10, you stay here and block the entrance and exit here. Don't let anyone in or out..."
"Yes!" The four running black shadows responded at the same time and stopped suddenly. Two of them flew to the top of the cave and hid behind two huge stalactites. The other two found a place on the ground to hide their bodies and stopped moving forward.
This is the most secure and comprehensive arrangement. The four people who stay here can not only watch the movements outside the cave and guard the retreat of everyone, but also prevent the target in the cave from escaping. In the old man's opinion, four Martial Kings guarding here are enough.
After leaving four members of the eleven-man Killing Yan Team here, the remaining seven had all drawn their swords and other weapons, and continued to rush into the cave under the leadership of the old man.
There are not many branch roads in the Jiuyou Cave. Even if there are two, they are blocked and they can only turn back. The seven people walked inside and searched at the same time. In less than twenty minutes, they rushed directly into the underground space where Yan Liqiang was. The seven people walked in with murderous intent and saw Yan Liqiang sitting cross-legged on a stone lotus at a glance.
"Are you finally here?" Yan Liqiang looked at the seven people who rushed in calmly with a smile on his face.
Seeing that Yan Liqiang was not panicked at all, the old man who led the way in was slightly startled. His eyes fixed and he looked around, thinking that there was an ambush here. After finding that Yan Liqiang was the only one here, the old man was relieved. A ferocious smile appeared on his face, and he continued to approach Yan Liqiang with his men, "Do you know who we are?"
Yan Liqiang shook his head, "I don't know who you are, but I guess you are not human..."
The old man who was talking to Yan Liqiang suddenly fixed his eyes, and then he shouted, "Kill him..." Then seven people rushed towards Yan Liqiang together. Their speed and momentum could only be described as overwhelming. In an instant, the entire cave was filled with the sound of the seven people's energy exploding into the air and the sound of the ground shattering under their feet...
Yan Liqiang retreated violently, and as he did so, he snapped his fingers loudly, "Click..."
The sound of snapping fingers was heard and echoed in the cave. At the same time, the roots of more than ten huge stalactites hanging upside down at the entrance of this space burst into violent and smooth sound. More than ten huge stalactites, weighing dozens of tons and hundreds of tons, fell from the height of the cave with a bang and hit the entrance of the cave. With a loud bang, the rocks shattered and directly caused the cave entrance to collapse, blocking it.
This sudden scene made the faces of those who rushed towards Yan Liqiang change suddenly...
“Do you want to die with us? You are too naive. I will kill you first…” When the old man rushed towards Yan Liqiang, he punched the air with a surge of energy, which caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the cave to resonate, showing the true nature of a powerful Martial Emperor.
"Haha, who would want to die together with you guys who are nothing? I'm just closing the door to beat the dog!" Yan Liqiang laughed, his body still flying backwards. At the same time, he swung his right hand violently, and a colorful light suddenly appeared in front of him.
In the midst of the colorful light, a row of bronze soldiers and iron horses with red eyes suddenly jumped out from the colorful light and rushed towards the seven people...
"Nine Dragon Seal..." The old man finally screamed in shock.
