Chapter 541: The Cave Behind the Waterfall

confusion in their eyes, there was also a hint of familiarity, apparently they only knew that after offering sacrifices, the floating coffin would appear and spit out treasures. But they didn't know...It's common knowledge that Wang Du怪 and Lu Xiaoteng are at odds. The three newly joined Jindan cultivators each glanced at each other, naturally choosing to stand by Xiu as an observer. As newcomers from the same place, they naturally banded together at this time. The team in front of them didn't seem very harmonious either, with each member scheming against the others, no better than their previous group. However, the current situation actually brought a sense of glee to their hearts. If this team were united, the three of them would only be able to lower their heads. Since there was discord, with their three strengths, besides that Jindan late-stage cultivator, the rest of these scattered individuals probably wouldn't rank above them.

Thus, the group of cultivators continuously kept watch for potential dangers while also being wary of each other.

Time passed in this seemingly peaceful, but secretly rather eerie way.

A month later, at the foot of a mountain, numerous cultivators stood in various positions, forming a defensive formation to support each other. The three new Jindan cultivators were disciples from a sect called Qianshanmen in the Lanmo Sea Region. After a month of acclimation, they had temporarily integrated into their ranks.

In the middle of the mountainside, there seemed to be a spring, with clear water constantly flowing from it. It cascaded down halfway up the mountain, like a waterfall curtain blocking a cave behind. The entrance of the cave was covered in moss and, with the constant dripping of spring water, it was difficult even for ordinary cultivators to see. Despite spending time circling this area, no one had discovered it until it was spotted by Chi Yun Sang.

Whether the cave had any forbidden mechanisms, everyone was unsure. At this time, their gazes once again fell on Lu Xia Tian.

Lu XiaTian knew that he had no right to refuse at this time. After all, as an array master, when his strength was not strong, most of the time he fought with monsters, he was also the one who ran faster. This was his only place where others could see him. Once he declined, for these ruthless Jindan cultivators, he would lose his value to be used.

“If you're worried, Senior Brother Lu, I can accompany you on this trip.” To Lu Xiaofeng's surprise, Chi Yun Sang stood up and said難得.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Then I'll take my leave of my friend from the Equator." Lu Xia Tian nodded. Regardless of the other party's motives, at least their actions were beneficial to him right now, and Lu Xia Tian naturally wouldn't politely refuse such a strong reinforcement.

The two of them flew towards the mountainside at roughly the same speed. As the water cascaded down, it stopped a few feet from them, deflected by their invisible protective auras and flowing away elsewhere. The two passed through the clear waterfall without any obstruction.

Amongst the lush green aquatic plants, several multi-colored snakes with triangular heads suddenly burst out. One of them possessed the strength of an eighth rank, while the others were only sixth rank. Unexpectedly, there was a snake den here! After his initial shock, Lu Xia Tian quickly regained composure. With a powerful expert like Chi Yun Sang by his side, he had nothing to fear. If he had come alone, he would have turned around and left without hesitation.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, don't be alarmed, I shall take care of this eighth-rank demonic beast." Xichiyun Sang spoke calmly, a pagoda flew over and pressed against the seventh inch of the eighth-rank demonic beast.

Lu Xia Tian shot out several blades of qi, killing the remaining few sixth-rank demon snakes.

As expected, although the eight-tiered demonic snake was ferocious and spat out a large amount of colorful poisonous mist, a red light flashed on the crimson-black pagoda, and surging flames surged out from inside. The colorful poisonous mist melted as quickly as ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, making a sizzling sound as it burned.

After taking care of several lower-ranked demon snakes, the Split Earth Saber directly slashed towards the eighth-rank demon snake's vital point. Although the demon snake was incredibly powerful, it was struggling to cope with Chi Yun Sang's suppression at this time and had little strength left. With Lu Xiaotian's sudden attack, it was utterly helpless. The Split Earth Saber easily severed the demon snake in two.

A snake-shaped primordial spirit, no more than a foot long, escaped from within.

“Lu Daoist, be quick! This demonic serpent is quite formidable, don’t let that eighth-rank Yuan Shen escape.” Chi Yun Sang reminded.

“No way out.” Lu Xia Tian nodded, a hint of gratitude on his face. He knew that Chi Yun Sang was compensating him for the fact that Wang Tuo Gui had targeted him specifically during the division of war spoils a few days ago. His impression of Chi Yun Sang had improved slightly, it was true, but his vigilance remained undiminished. After all, from beginning to end, throughout these years, although Chi Yun Sang hadn't revealed himself, he occasionally did act a bit too much. He couldn't help but be suspicious, and even other people had their doubts, just that they never quite figured out what Chi Yun Sang was trying to do.

Lu Xia Tian's methods for restraining divine souls were already quite proficient at this time. How could a single eighth-rank monster's soul, without a physical body as its anchor, escape his grasp With a flick of his finger, several Soul Binding Ash Nets solidified and directly enveloped the snake demon's soul. He pulled and dragged it down, trapping the struggling snake demon's soul within a white vial.

In the aquatic plants, there were also several sea bowl-sized demon snake eggs. The eggs of this eighth-order golden elixir demon beast were rare and could be sold for a lot of spirit stones. Lu Xia Tian didn't stand on ceremony and took them all. For something like this, Chi Yun Sang definitely wouldn't look highly upon it, and this time accompanying him was indeed to some extent to make Lu Xiao Tian feel better.

The Qi of the Splitting Earth Blade slashed at the entrance to the cave, shredding the grasses and plants into pieces. With a flick of Lu Xia Tian's hand, they were all blown aside, then washed away by the spring water cascading down the mountainside.

Lu Xiaitian carefully sized up the cave before entering. The entrance was narrow but the interior widened considerably. Hundreds of meters ahead, there was only a space a few dozen meters in diameter. The mountain body was a low-grade spirit rock, incredibly solid. Even a Jindan cultivator using the earth escape technique would likely be unable to burrow out of the mountain.

However, Lu Xia Tian stopped hundreds of meters away, repeatedly examining the surrounding spirit rocks with a contemplative expression.

"What's wrong, Daoist Lu Did you discover anything unusual" Chi Yun Sang asked.

"No, I just feel that something is not quite right here." Lu Xia Tian shook his head. In fact, he hadn't discovered anything peculiar about the place, but the broken boundary insect in his spirit worm bag was becoming agitated. Broken boundary insects instinctively reacted to strange restrictions, and Lu Xia Tian firmly believed this.

“Since you find it not simple, Daoist Lu, you might as well study it here for a while longer. There's no need to rush.” A trace of surprise flashed in Chiyun Sang’s eyes, but it vanished quickly.hrough his body, one could only see the flickering lights on his surface, as if within him was a world of surging demons.Those several sharp fairy swords and the seven great town swords coming in succ...
