Chapter 1048: Complex Forms

d was exposed after being seen through by his leaving stone. With a little effort, he took Yu Bao's life. However, after Yu Bao's lesson, he did not send anyone into the Blackwater Village mine again...."Lu Senior Brother, you're awake," Luo Qian saw Lu Xiaoteng open his eyes. The first sentence he said wasn't overly concerned, concise and simple, but the trust and protection for Lu Xiaoteng were also like words—concise and clear.

Lu XiaTian nodded to Luo Qian, without saying much. Their friendship didn't need superfluous words.

"My cultivation went a bit awry, I trouble you all to protect me." Lu Xia Tian said to Qiao Lan and the others.

"Brother Lu, you're putting it too strongly. We've been through hardships together, and protecting Brother Lu is just a small favor." Qiao Lan smiled brightly.

"Since that's settled, let's continue. Brother Niu is going to a place where there should be many spiritual herbs. However, since it's Brother Niu's effort, he naturally gets to choose the first one. Of course, if it's too valuable, Brother Niu will have to cough up some blood." Lu Xia tian was satisfied with Qiao Lan's performance just now. If he didn't say a few words now, it would be a bit awkward.

"Brother Lu speaks the truth, at that time we will not let any of you suffer losses." The Eight-legged Demon Ox Beast heard Lu Xia Tian say so, and also relaxed its breath. This can be considered a public statement, allowing him to prioritize choosing a spiritual herb. Based on Lu Xia Tian's character, he shouldn't go back on his word.

Joe nodded, though she knew Lu Xiaoteng and the eight-legged demon bull beast would certainly communicate privately, this arrangement was still fair. After all, she had to put in less effort.

When Lian Yue saw Lu Xiaotian's gaze sweep over, his heart skipped a beat. This silver-haired youth's face was calm, but those seemingly ordinary eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Although he had been threatened by the Zhao clan before, when it came down to it, Lian Yue wasn't entirely willing to submit to Lu Xiaotian. Unexpectedly, however, the other members of the team seemed to have such unwavering faith in Lu Xiaotian.

Now Lu XiaTian is back to normal, and Lian Yue's heart naturally beats a little faster. However, fortunately, he hadn't done anything too out of line before.

A flash of murderous intent crossed Lu Xiaitian's mind. Considering that Lian Yue was still a valuable asset, especially when facing the Golden Horned Demon Bull Niu Qin later on, he could lend a hand. Moreover, his understanding of this secret realm, particularly the Zhao clan, made him almost like a native. He held some value. It wasn't wise to kill him directly for now.

A group of people quickly left, their minds were uneasy, but seeing that Lu Xiaoteng didn't hold them accountable, they temporarily calmed down.

The group of people weren't weak in terms of strength. Even when facing formidable demonic cultivators, as long as they didn't deliberately provoke them, the demonic cultivators wouldn't bother them. They had crossed several territories belonging to beast hordes.

There were also extremely dangerous times. When passing through a grove of blue-leafed trees, they were attacked by a group of demon monkeys. There were many Golden Core level demon monkeys, and a considerable number of Nascent Soul level demon monkeys. The few of them struggled to rush out from inside, and even Lu Xiaoteng was injured. However, Lu Xiaoteng did not use the self-healing ability of the Purple Leaf Zhenwu.

Several others were more seriously injured, and the group had to stop for a while to recuperate. It wasn't until after they recovered that they set off again. Along the way, they encountered many restrictions, but the eight-legged demon ox beast had been here before and used forbidden techniques to track them, allowing them to avoid most of the danger. Occasionally, when they encountered restrictions, they faced various attacks from mechanisms, and with their combined efforts, they managed to overcome them.

"Hao Yuan Ye Cao!"

"Bi Chen Mu!"

At this moment, everyone stood on a precipice, gazing at a magnificent hall in the center of an island floating in a lake far away. In front of the hall was a vast medicinal garden teeming with luxuriant spiritual herbs and several types of spirit stones. Each person’s expression shifted dramatically.

Lu Xiaotian saw the Lingmai crystal, and his eyes also flashed with a strange light. Perhaps the value of Bixichenmu and Haoyuan key grass was above the Lingmai crystal, but spiritual objects were only useful to those who were most suitable and valuable. It wasn't beneficial to him.

However, the crystal barrier surrounding that grand hall made Lu Xiaottian frown. Such a valuable spiritual object had existed for so many years and yet no one had taken it. It must not be without reason.

"Haha, thanks to all of you, we were able to get here safely. Once we get the spirit, we'll thank you properly." Behind him, several familiar figures broke through the air and came toward Niu Qin.

Two groups of people, one in front and the other behind, were clearly separated. They were in a clear state of confrontation.

Another group of people arrived, led by a middle-aged woman in white. This was the same woman who had been injured by Lu Xia Tian earlier. She was accompanied by four others, and they shot towards Lu Xia Tian with hostility in their eyes.

“Unexpectedly, after you outsiders were discovered, you still dare to stay here. You are truly courting death.” The white-clothed middle-aged woman’s eyes turned cold when she saw Lu Xiaoteng. Even her look at Lian Ren was filled with killing intent.

"Xinmei, was it this boy who injured you" The brown-haired, short-browed man named Zhao Tong beside the white-clothed middle-aged woman glared sharply at Lu Xia Tian.

"If any of you have old grievances with them, we would be happy to help."

Niu Qin's eyes rolled, and he already held a deep fear of Lu Xiaoteng in his heart. He reckoned that with his own strength, it was still insufficient to deal with Lu Xiaoteng. The group of people led by the white-clad middle-aged woman before him clearly had a grudge against Lu Xiaoteng and his companions. If he could use these people to eliminate Lu Xiaoteng's gang and remove a threat, it would be a good thing.

Before long, five people and a beast arrived. Among them was Lu Xiaofeng's acquaintance, the one with wings on his back - it was none other than Di Kun, whom he had fought before. There was also a black-robed old man wearing a bone chain. He was short but fierce, an obvious warrior of the Stone Clan above tenth rank. His aura was powerful, between tenth and eleventh rank, and Lu Xiaofeng himself couldn't quite tell. It was certainly not someone to underestimate.

Another one turned out to be a masked, black-clad figure. Lu Xia Tian felt a strange sensation when he saw this masked man, if not for the fact that his gaze was directed at him with no sign of abnormality, Lu Xia Tian would have almost thought that the other party was Fu Xing and Fu Ding, whom he had encountered on Blood Gourd Island.

"Could the other party also be a puppet" Lu Xia Tian secretly mused to himself.

It was hard to tell friend from foe. However, Zhao Tong and the other members of the Zhao clan visibly paled at the sight of the masked figure in black. They were no longer as boisterous as they had been before. The expressions of the others became guarded. As for Di Kun, he looked at Lu Xia Tian with a complex expression. He hadn't expected to run into him again under these circumstances.

When Lu Xia Tian was sizing up these people, the Eight-Legged Demon Ox Beast and Qiao Lan along with others heard Niu Qin's words and their faces changed drastically. Facing any one group of them individually, they would be fearless, but once both sides joined forces, there was no way they could withstand it.

Seeing the spirit creature appear right before his eyes, only to be eliminated prematurely, Qiao Lan felt a surge of resentment. This was a rare opportunity, a treasure of heaven and earth, and he couldn't even obtain it, let alone guarantee his own life. As an eight-legged demonic ox beast, how could he accept this defeate Tong, and Ye Jian's attacks also came rushing in, with a flurry of blades and shadows engulfing everything.>Amidst agonizing screams, the severely wounded dragon soul corpse was directly dismembered...
