“How can that be fake? If they hadn’t been caught, they would have come to rescue you. But where are they? Not a single one of them can be seen.”
The person shouting continued to use words to break down Wang Longyu and the others’ fighting spirit.
Silence returned to the cave, as if the people inside were temporarily engrossed in an ideological struggle, or perhaps their injuries had improved.
The expressions on the faces of the Shengling Sect Disciples at the cave entrance and below constantly changed.
They used their Spiritual Awareness to discuss whether to attack forcefully or continue waiting.
The three Shengling Sect Disciples who had not reached Foundation Establishment seemed unwilling to attack forcefully, never stepping onto their Flying Swords to fly to the cave entrance.
If they attacked forcefully, the three of them, without Foundation Establishment, would surely be cannon fodder.
But who would be willing to be cannon fodder?
After more than a quarter of an hour, “clinking and clanking” sounds came from inside the cave, as if the people inside were digging a passage or building a defensive line.
The Shengling Sect Disciples outside the cave stopped to discuss, pressing against the rock wall to listen carefully.
After a while, the sounds from inside the cave stopped again.
This act was quite good!
It left the Shengling Sect Disciples in a dilemma, neither able to attack nor retreat.
Qian Duoduo quietly packed away the tent and slipped to a hillside half a mile down the mountain.
There were a few bare trees here, making it a good spot…
Three hours passed in a flash.
Qian Duoduo appeared on the mountain, swaggering down, deliberately letting the Shengling Sect Disciples notice him.
His sudden appearance caused the six Shengling Sect members to hastily hide, not wanting Qian Duoduo to see them.
Qian Duoduo walked directly above the cave.
“Boom!”
As agreed, Wang Longyu and the two others rushed out of the cave!
As soon as they emerged, the three Shengling Sect Disciples at the entrance immediately moved to block them.
Wang Longyu and the two others raised their hands, shooting three Yin Yang Spring Breeze Scissors at the Shengling Sect Disciples.
Using this moment, Wang Longyu pretended to just happen to see Qian Duoduo, and with surprised delight, he shouted:
“Senior Brother Bu Huan, save us!”
After shouting, the three of them unleashed a full-strength attack on the Shengling Sect Disciples and shot out another Yin Yang Spring Breeze Scissors.
Qian Duoduo took out a Flying Sword and flew towards Wang Longyu and the two others. Halfway there, seeing the Shengling Sect Disciples suddenly appear, he feigned fear, turned, and flew down the mountain.
As he flew down, he shouted to Wang Longyu and the others, “Run!”
Qian Duoduo’s cry of “Run!” made the Shengling Sect Disciples laugh.
The Refining Spirit Sect’s number one Xiong Jun was truly brave!
The three Disciples below the cave who hadn’t reached Foundation Establishment also leaped onto their Flying Swords, chasing after the Foundation Establishment Disciples.
“Run, run!” Qian Duoduo deliberately swayed in the air, falling behind to block the pursuers’ Spells for Wang Longyu and the two others.
Watching Wang Longyu and the two others rush past the hillside, Qian Duoduo failed to dodge in time and was struck on the back by a blade light from behind, falling from the air. He rolled a few times on the ground and leaned against a bare tree.
The six Shengling Sect Disciples surrounded him with sinister smiles.
One of them laughed loudly and said:
“The number one Xiong Jun of the Fleeing Sect, is this bear—”
Before he could finish speaking, the bare branches of the tree seemed to suddenly come alive, shooting dozens of Yin Yang Spring Breeze Scissors at the Shengling Sect Disciples.
Behind the three Shengling Sect Disciples who hadn’t reached Foundation Establishment, Wang Longyu and the two others flashed out.
Wang Longyu and the two others unleashed their strongest Spells, each targeting one enemy, and simultaneously struck.
Dozens of Yin Yang Spring Breeze Scissors, shot out so suddenly at such close range, hit every one of the six Shengling Sect Disciples; none were spared.
The Disciple who had rushed to the very front, the one who called the Refining Spirit Sect the Fleeing Sect, was hit the most, and most bizarrely, one struck him in the mouth, instantly rendering him mute.
These Yin Yang Spring Breeze Scissors were laid out by Qian Duoduo three hours earlier.
To prevent the enemy from discovering them, a shielding Formation was also set up on the bare tree.
As soon as the enemy entered the ambush circle, these high-grade artisan artifacts would immediately trigger.
They planned an ambush, but were ambushed instead.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, the Shengling Sect Disciples dared not retaliate at all and scattered without hesitation.
At the same time the hidden weapons triggered, Qian Duoduo’s Golden Rooster Sword also slashed out.
A Foundation Establishment Shengling Sect Disciple was struck in the back by the sword and fell unconscious from the air. He was then finished off by another hidden weapon from Qian Duoduo, silenced forever.
The fastest fleeing Foundation Establishment Disciple of the Shengling Sect suddenly had a copper coin on his neck.
Only when his head saw his body run more than ten feet away did he realize he had lost his life.
After eliminating the three Foundation Establishment Shengling Sect Disciples, Qian Duoduo did not go to help Wang Longyu and the others.
Watching them roar and destroy the enemies before them, the pent-up anger in his chest finally turned into hearty laughter.
After completely annihilating the enemy and cleaning up the battlefield, Qian Duoduo stepped onto his Golden Rooster Sword, waved a hand to Wang Longyu and the others, and said, “Let’s go.”
Returning to the mountain cave where Wang Longyu and the others were hiding, Qian Duoduo strengthened several Formations at the cave entrance and took out three bottles of Earthly Path Power, handing them over.
“Quick, Foundation Establishment. I’ll be your Protector!”
Wang Longyu took the golden bottle with a playful smile, hugged Qian Duoduo tightly, and said, “This brother is truly a super warm man.”
Having just escaped from danger and eliminated a powerful enemy, Qi Bingsheng and Lan Xiangxiu already had a belly full of gratitude to express.
The sudden appearance of these golden bottles filled with Earthly Path Power immediately made their eyes red with emotion.
“This—”
Qi Bingsheng and Lan Xiangxiu exchanged glances, “Senior Brother Bu Huan…”
“What’s with the politeness? Quick, Foundation Establishment!”
Wang Longyu said casually, tilted his head back, drank the silver-white Spirit Liquid, and sat down cross-legged.
Actually, the question he should have asked was how Qian Duoduo could store Earthly Path Power in his Storage Pouch.
Because Earthly Path Power is Soul Power and cannot be put into a Storage Pouch.
And since Qian Duoduo could casually take out three bottles, it must mean he could store it in a Storage Pouch.
He thought it was a Storage Pouch, but Qian Duoduo actually stored it in his Golden Toad.
Qian Duoduo only realized this issue later.
But Wang Longyu didn’t ask, because there was no need to ask.
He could so casually accept Earthly Path Power, but Qi Bingsheng and Lan Xiangxiu could not.
“Great kindness needs no words of thanks! Senior Brother Bu Huan will see our performance from now on.”
Qi Bingsheng cupped his hands towards Qian Duoduo.
Lan Xiangxiu bowed deeply, “From now on, I will obey Senior Brother’s every command.”
After they finished speaking, they didn’t delay, drank the Spirit Liquid, and began their advancement.
As the three in the cave began their Foundation Establishment, Qian Duoduo guarded the entrance, examining the mountain cave that had saved Wang Longyu and the others’ lives.
The cave entrance was extremely narrow; one had to be careful even to squeeze in. The passage also had a curve, and the space inside the cave was slightly small, able to hide three to five people.
At the cave’s passage entrance, there was a Formation of their sect, set up by Lan Xiangxiu.
If it weren’t for this natural cave, easy to defend but hard to attack, Wang Longyu and the two others would not have survived until now.
Having experienced his own three Foundation Establishments, watching Wang Longyu and the others’ Foundation Establishment was equally thrilling.
Wang Longyu was opening his Lower Spirit Sea.
Before his Foundation Establishment, he had also taken a Foundation Establishment Medicinal Pill refined by the Wang family, but he was still sweating profusely from the pain.
If anyone were to disturb him during his Foundation Establishment, he would absolutely not be able to succeed.
When consuming Earthly Path Power, its effectiveness lasts for one hour.
If one cannot reach Foundation Establishment within one hour, the Earthly Path Power will turn into ordinary Spiritual Qi, losing its effect of opening a Spirit Sea.
And when encountering an enemy sect Disciple undergoing Foundation Establishment, one can kill them and plunder the Earthly Path Power within their Spiritual Vein.
The danger in the Secret Realm’s struggle for Earthly Path Power lies precisely in this.
“Boom.”
There was a muffled sound in the cave, and Wang Longyu successfully entered the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Qian Duoduo had been closely monitoring him with his Spiritual Awareness, and the moment he succeeded, he immediately sealed off his aura.
There were two others still advancing nearby. If they were disturbed, it would be troublesome.
Before long, Qi Bingsheng and Lan Xiangxiu also successfully advanced.
The two stood up, their excitement hard to conceal.
This was The Righteous Foundation Establishment; in sixty years, few in the Refining Spirit Sect had achieved it.
“For saving our lives, plus the grace of advancement, I, Qi, hereby swear that from now on, wherever Senior Brother Bu Huan points, I will strike. Should I violate this oath, my cultivation will scatter and I will perish.”
Qi Bingsheng solemnly swore. Lan Xiangxiu also followed with an oath.
“You’re too much.” Qian Duoduo hadn’t expected them to be so moved.
He didn’t have much ability to make them follow him.
Just as they were about to leave the cave, Qi Bingsheng’s Jade Slip vibrated.
Wang Longyu asked, “Is it your cousin again? How are they doing?”
