Chapter 1765: Chapter 394:
“Four Sha River? Your Fourth Senior Brother and their group are at Four Sha River, you should go find them first.” Upon hearing this, Cao Zhen felt a rush of joy. This way, both sides could reunite, ensuring quite a bit more safety, and then they could go look for Ling Xi and the others.
Cao Zhen also informed Duo Duo about the presence of the Demonic Lord Qing Shi, then severed his connection with her.
“And there’s Xiang Ziyu and Ruo Yun. Those two… never mind, Xiang Ziyu, that brat, his physical strength is as strong as mine, and besides, that kid is tough; even on his own, he should be fine.
As for Ruo Yun, she’s a reincarnated great ability, so there’s no need to worry about her.”
Cao Zhen once again contacted Ling Xi and Bei Yan and others, informing them of everyone’s locations so they could gather first, then he roasted a few skewers of meat in a cave. After eating, with the sky brightening, he stepped out towards the outside.
Having not walked far, soon, the rumbling noise echoed out, and from a nearby peak, large stones were falling down, crashing to the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.
“Someone’s fighting?”
Cao Zhen hesitated slightly but quickly got up and ran towards the peak.
He could have flown directly, but wouldn’t that have exposed him?
Nowadays, everyone can’t use immortal and demonic qi, and naturally can’t fly. If he wanted to disguise himself, flying wasn’t an option.
Although unable to use immortal qi, he still quickly reached the mountain from where the battle sounds originated.
As he trudged up the mountain, the battle sounds grew louder as well.
Soon, the figures engaged in battle came into his view midway up the mountain.
“These people? Aren’t they the three from the All-encompassing Sect? On the opposite side, that’s people from the Demonic Sect of Heaven Inquiry. Quite a few from the Demonic Sect of Heaven Inquiry have entered the ruins. Hmm? Behind, what is that…”
Cao Zhen’s gaze quickly went beyond the people, landing directly on a shining blue-green stone.
This stone had white patterns on it, which from a distance, looked like clouds. Around it, there were scattered greyish stones, and this glowing stone seemed to be more than half buried in the ground, with an unknown total amount.
This glow!
This is the Qingyun-stone-in-stone!
The Qingyun-stone-in-stone is extremely difficult to find because it is hidden within stones, hence its name.
More importantly, the Qingyun-stone-in-stone is a seventh-grade immortal ore!
Apparently, these two groups are in conflict over this seventh-grade immortal ore. The people from the All-encompassing Sect seem to have discovered the ore first, while these Demonic Sect of Heaven Inquiry people came to seize it.
After all, there are only three from the All-encompassing Sect, but the opponents are more than double their number. Although, nowadays, everyone cannot release immortal qi, and even their aura is hardly released, they can still roughly judge the opponent’s cultivation base through physical strength.
These eight people from the Demonic Sect of Heaven Inquiry should all exist within the Immortal Path Domain, and the people from the All-encompassing Sect are clearly on the losing side.
Just as Cao Zhen was observing both sides, people from the All-encompassing Sect and the Demonic Sect of Heaven Inquiry simultaneously noticed the unexpected arrival.
“Hmm? Someone else?” A person from the Demonic Sect of Heaven Inquiry clad in a black robe holding a long staff showed a sinister and cold killing intent on his face. The next moment, he swung his long staff violently forward, forcing back the Sword Immortal in battle with him, then abruptly turned, charging straight at Cao Zhen.
He didn’t care about this person’s background; there was clearly a block of seventh-grade immortal ore over there that any non-blind person could see.
Moreover, this was clearly not just a simple immortal ore, but more like a vein!
A vein, who knows how much seventh-grade immortal ore can be extracted from it!
Although they currently couldn’t deal with the three from the All-encompassing Sect, they already held an absolute advantage, and the vein would ultimately belong to them.
If this person were allowed to leave and spread the news, who knows how many would come after them for the vein they had just secured.
Since this person saw this scene, they must die!
Among them, Double Sword Immortal, while blocking a blade and a spear coming at her, glimpsed the newcomer from the corner of her eyes, showing a hint of delight in her eyes.
Ye Liangchen?
They encountered him again.
This person’s combat power should be exceptionally strong.
If they added him to their side, and counting themselves and the other three, they might not be unable to hold off the eight from the Demonic Sect of Heaven Inquiry. The Demonic Sect of Heaven Inquiry, after all, was currently suppressing them rather than achieving an overwhelming advantage.
Cao Zhen had just arrived at the mountain but had not yet grasped the situation there, when a figure was already rapidly charging towards him, unable to deploy immortal and demonic qi, the opponent couldn’t fly, only rushing straight at him with the long staff dragging along.
The dark long staff scraped along the ground, sparking a string of sparks, and each of the opponent’s steps left a clear footprint on the ground.
Within moments, the opponent was in front of him, the dark long staff swinging down directly at him.
Despite the formidable physical strength of the opponent, even without deploying demonic qi, the opponent’s staff hit still resounded with a deep, muted explosion, and the strike seemed to shatter the surrounding air instantly.
