Chapter 354
354 That scene must be soul-stirring!
In the eternally thick black fog, a red light suddenly flashed. It had a strong penetrating power and could be seen from far away.
When he got closer, he saw that it was a man wearing a long robe and a black mask. He was holding a cobblestone-like crystal that was emitting a luster.
“Have you found the little Daoist?” The long-robed man said to the crystal in a hoarse voice.
A hissing sound came from the crystal, and then, echoes came out.
“Hiss hiss hiss hiss, there’s no hiss hiss hiss hiss”
the second secret realm is so vast, and the black mist is limiting my divine sense. It’s quite difficult to find it.
“Whoever finds the little Daoist, remember to quickly inform everyone to kill him.”
“Hiss hiss hiss hiss Black Wolf, in your dreams. Didn’t that young master of the Yan family say that whoever killed the little Daoist and added twenty more golden cores, how could anyone share the money with you? Hahaha.”
“……”
It was a small piece of crystal, but it seemed like there were many people conversing inside.
The long-robed man listened for a while before speaking again, ” “We still have to tell them when we need to. Haven’t we already received thirty golden cores as a reward? If you continue to covet those small profits and end up losing your life, that would be too stupid.”
“Hahaha! We’re all top-notch figures in the underworld of Tiannan. It’d be embarrassing if we couldn’t take care of a little Daoist!”
“Don’t be careless, didn’t you see when you came in? That little Daoist priest is still quite mystical.”
“Are you talking about the transformation technique? It’s quite magical, but what’s the use?”
“It’s an immortal spell after all,”
“……”
The long-robed man stopped listening to their conversation and retracted his zhenqi. The crystal stopped shining and became quiet. He put the crystal back into his sleeve and snorted, ” “A bunch of idiots.”
The long-robed man’s name was Zhang San.
These cultivators who mingled in the underworld grew up in a very different way from those cultivators from the Orthodox immortal sects. They often didn’t have any proper inheritance, nor did they have any good Masters or seniors, let alone a famous name. They had been living in the shadows for their entire lives, doing business that licked blood from the edge of the blade.
There were also many people who called them “underground xiuzhe.”
Compared to the righteous path xiuzhe, they were more unscrupulous. Compared to the demonic sect xiuzhe, they were more profit-minded. In such a precarious environment, those who could survive for a long time were all insidious and cunning executors of the law.
In their view, those xiuzhe of Orthodox origins were as pure as a piece of white paper.
Even if their cultivation was two or three minor realms higher, they would still dare to try to kill them.
Besides, it was impossible to find someone who was one level higher than them in the Huaxu secret realm.
Therefore, when the Yan clan approached them and offered them a price of thirty golden cores, none of them refused.
In their eyes, this was simply a free gift.
Cultivators at this realm would not be tempted by gold and silver, but the temptation of Jindan was still great.
Ten Chi-amassing pills could be exchanged for a small recovery pill, ten small recovery pills could be exchanged for a large recovery pill, and ten large recovery pills could be exchanged for a golden elixir. The Golden pills concocted by danding Pavilion were of the highest grade among the pills that could be sold in the market. And because of its limited production, if one really wanted to obtain it, the exchange price would be several times higher than the above.
If these dozens of golden cores were ready to be consumed, it meant that as long as these peak all creations cultivators had enough cultivation, they no longer needed to accumulate Dao attainment and could directly attack the beheader realm! It could save a few years or even a dozen years of cultivation time.
Its value was self-evident.
Even with the foundation of the seven families of the heavenly South, taking out a few hundred golden cores at once was a considerable investment.
This was also the power of the aristocratic families. Although Yan Ren’s cultivation was ordinary, with his status, he could easily use the power of the family to order these experts to get rid of the thorn in his side.
As for an expert like Zhang San, no matter how much he looked down on Yan Ren, he had no choice but to follow his orders.
Out of worry that these underworld experts would not work hard after receiving their pay, Yan Ren added another condition. Whoever killed the little Taoist would be rewarded with extra rewards, urging these ruthless executors of the law to search for Li Chu.
This was indeed necessary, because these underworld Masters were different from devil cultivators. They were not born bloodthirsty. If there were enough benefits, they could even kill their own father. If there were no benefits to drive them, they would rather hide for the rest of their lives and not take any risks.
but …
This rule led to another problem.
That was, this group of underworld Masters each had their own ulterior motives and wanted to take the extra bounty for themselves.
Although Zhang San had said that they must inform each other after finding the little Taoist priest, that was only to the group of people. He did not intend to do so himself.
In fact, he didn’t reveal that he had another plan in mind.
He had a unique tracking technique called the ” soul-tracking seal “. As long as he put an invisible mark on a person, he would not be able to get rid of it for twenty-four hours, no matter where he went.
The little Taoist priest was obviously very inexperienced. Zhang San just bumped his shoulder when he passed by and easily planted the magic seal on him.
The little Daoist even said “sorry” to him.
Hehe.
Zhang San still wanted to laugh coldly when he thought of the word “sorry.” Such a polite xiuzhe would not even survive three days in their underground.
She was like a little lamb.
And it was a very valuable little sheep.
“Eh?”
Zhang San suddenly lifted his mask.
He placed his left thumb on his middle finger and gently pinched it. His eyes were bright as he muttered, ” “That’s fast.”
He could clearly sense that the dharmic seal was not far ahead, and it was coming in his direction!
Zhang San waved his hands and 12 small black flags flew out from his sleeves. They were inserted into the ground far away and disappeared into the darkness.
Then, his body floated and he retreated into the dark.
The Yan clan had already made thorough preparations for them before they had made their move. They had put on a mask that could block all forms of prying eyes. He had also taken a pill that could change his aura, making it no different from an evil spirit.
In this way, even if the little Daoist had a master with great cultivation and could see the current scene with the heavenly eye, he would not be able to find any clues and would only think that he was killed by an evil.
But now, he only needed to hide in the dark and wait for the little Daoist to step into the array. Then, he would brazenly kill him and escape.
Hehe.
Zhang San smiled again.
It had been a long time since he had received such a simple mission.
While waiting for the target to arrive, he was a little lost in thought. Thinking of the Enlightenment he had gained a few days ago, he had faintly touched the threshold of cutting down the decay. This time, he had obtained fifty golden cores, which was completely enough to support him in breaking through to the void severing stage. At that time, he could completely change his identity and go ashore. He could start his own sect in the pugilistic world and bid farewell to his life as an illegal fanatic.
In other words …
After this order, he could stop.
……
Li Chu took a step forward and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The ground beneath his feet suddenly turned into a swamp-like existence.
A trap?
This thought flashed through his mind.
Then, he felt an extremely powerful aura burst out from the side. A mass of black light filled with evil Qi suddenly appeared. It seemed to be some powerful magical treasure.
Li Chu was not in a hurry to break free. Instead, he let go of the pure yang sword that he had been holding upside down in his palm and pushed it gently.
Boom–
The best defense was offense.
The pure yang sword transformed into a fiery meteor, instantly smashing through the ball of black light. At the same time, it flew out and destroyed the person behind the black light.
After a short moment of noise, it fell silent again.
After placing the koi back to a safe spot, Li Chu’s operation was much smoother. He met many evils along the way and collected many blood magic crystals.
There were also some who had suddenly appeared from the side, so he was very vigilant.
However, it was a little awkward.
After a slightly stronger amount of experience points entered his body, Li Chu was a little puzzled.”Do the evils now know how to use magic treasures? And why didn’t Yingying drop a blood mana crystal?”
He looked around carefully, and there was indeed nothing on the ground.
He could only shake his head and say, ” “I’m a little unlucky.”
……
“It seems like Zhang San hasn’t spoken for a long time.”
“He doesn’t talk much to begin with.”
“Hiss, hiss, hiss, could it be that you met the little Daoist and ate all of it for yourself?”
“Who knows,”
“No, I can’t. I don’t want to waste time with you guys. I have to search harder. I can’t let you guys get there first.”
“……”
Venerable Black Wolf heard the voice coming from the crystal and sneered.
His figure was rapidly advancing, the wind constantly whistling past his ears. The crystal in his right hand was held up to his shoulder.
On his shoulder, there was a huge wolf head!
The wolf head’s eyeballs rolled around, and it was extremely vivid. It was clearly a living Wolf! At this moment, the wolf head kept on mumbling, ” don’t go, Yingluo. Let’s chat for a while. Yingluo, this thing is based on luck. Whoever meets it will own it. Why waste so much effort to find it? we’re all in the underworld, why do we need to get involved? Yingluo.
Venerable Black Wolf’s eyes and nostrils were wide open, not letting go of any suspicious smell as he advanced.
That’s right.
Summoning the wolf head to chat in the crystal was one of venerable Black Wolf’s tactics. His goal was to waste as much time as possible and prevent them from finding the little Taoist priest.
Venerable Black Wolf himself was similar to the assassin Long Gang in the North. He had also cultivated the Super nose skill, Dragon Jade, and had a strong sense of smell.
Before he entered the secret realm, he had specially come to the little Daoist’s side and fiercely sucked in a deep breath, firmly memorizing the little Daoist’s smell in his mind.
The little Daoist obviously lacked Jianghu experience and didn’t notice anything wrong. He only looked at him as if he was a pervert.
Hehe.
Thinking of that look, venerable Black Wolf sneered.
Is there such a handsome pervert like me in this world?
I did it to kill you!
Venerable Black Wolf’s eyes suddenly lit up. He had finally caught a faint scent.
In this black mist, his nose Divine Art was also greatly affected, and it was far from the power of thousands of miles in a breath outside. At this moment, he suddenly felt a trace of smell. It seemed that some power had temporarily dispersed the black fog, and then penetrated through.
No matter what the reason was, there was no doubt that this smell belonged to the little Daoist priest!
Venerable Black Wolf took out his mask and put it on, covering his cold face. He also retracted his god art and kept the wolf head on his shoulder.
The wolf retracted its head, and his eyes suddenly turned green, as if they were a pair of Wolf Eyes.
And it was a Wolf that was about to be hunted.
“The prey has appeared!!!!!”
“Whoosh-”
In the next second, his figure shot out like an arrow, sprinting in the direction of the little Daoist priest.
When he reached a certain distance, he stopped and half-lay on the ground. He suppressed his aura to the lowest level and stared coldly in front of him.
The faint green light in his eyes was so bright even in the black mist that it made people’s hearts palpitate.
As an experienced Hunter, he knew that the closer he was to his prey, the more he had to keep his composure.
Only a Wolf with patience could eat meat.
Unlike Zhang San, venerable Black Wolf’s cultivation had also reached the peak of all creations, but there was no sign of a breakthrough. From the looks of it, he didn’t have much of an opportunity to break through to the severing stage in his life.
He took these dozens of golden cores for love.
Before this, he was no different from the other underworld cultivators. He paid attention to enjoying the moment and lived a muddled life day by day.
Until a few days ago, he met a woman who moved his heart.
He fell madly in love with that woman, and that woman also fell madly in love with him.
The only obstacle was that Yingluo’s family didn’t agree.
Especially her husband.
Moreover, that woman’s husband wasn’t an ordinary person. He was the chief of the cloud contact cave, one of the most powerful barbarian tribes in the seventy-two caves!
If he was in the underground xiuzhe, he would be called a venerable. In front of a Cave Master, he was just a little Wolf.
Without power, there was nothing to fear.
Fortunately, the cloud contact clan leader was a person who was easy to talk to. He had more than ninety wives and concubines in his family, and they were about to break through the three-digit number, so he didn’t care about this one. If not for that, that woman and venerable Black Wolf would not have been so insistent.
The scourcloud tribe leader had announced that as long as venerable Black Wolf took out two hundred thousand taels of silver, he could take his wife away.
For a peak all creation expert, this was not a huge amount. However, the problem was that venerable Black Wolf never had any savings.
As a xiuzhe with a high cultivation, he had never thought that he would one day have to worry about money.
The Yan family found him at this time and gave him thirty golden cores, inviting him to kill people in the Huaxu secret realm.
This was simply sending charcoal in the snow.
Thirty golden cores, if it was according to the normal market price, it might be a little less. However, if he could get the extra 20 Golden cores, it would definitely be enough.
Therefore, venerable Black Wolf was determined to get it.
He didn’t even mind using some tricks.
However, it was all worth it. In the end, he was the first to discover the traces of the little Daoist priest.
He waited patiently. As long as he waited for the little Daoist to pass by, he would use his most powerful divine ability and kill him in one blow. Then, he would be able to fulfill his promise.
That’s right, before he entered the Huaxu secret realm, he had already made a promise to that woman.
After this, I’ll come back and marry you.
……
Li Chu’s footsteps slowed.
From the beginning, he had a feeling that something was staring at him. However, the black mist around the Tao Wu was too thick. If it had intended to conceal its aura, it really wouldn’t have been able to detect it.
At this moment, a deafening Wolf’s roar came from behind him!
“Owwwwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu
A huge wolf head the size of a city gate tower suddenly descended! It opened its mouth wide as if it was going to swallow the entire world! There was no escape!
However, Li Chu had no intention of running away.
He waved his sword.
“Roar!”
A Dragon’s Roar that wasn’t inferior in any way was released, and the thick red Dragon ruthlessly poured into the Wolf’s mouth!
BOOM!
The fierce Wolf with flashing eyes
With an explosion, it disappeared instantly.
“No blood demon crystals again?” Li Chu frowned, then helplessly said, ” “Unlucky.”
He was too lazy to take another look and walked forward.
……
Outside the Huaxu secret area.
Yan Ren rubbed his hands nervously, ” looking at the time, it’s been quite a while since we entered the second level of the secret realm. I wonder if they have succeeded.
young master, don’t be nervous. Ten peak all creations experts besieged one person. How can they fail? ” A guard at the side said in a flattering manner.
yes, ten peak all creations. I paid a lot of money. It’s impossible to fail! Yan Ren also gritted his teeth.
“Hehe, even if the little Daoist is dead, he should thank the young master.” The guard said excitedly,”how many people in the world can be hunted by the top ten experts?” It must have been a soul-shaking scene!”
