"Our senior brother is indeed blessed; he has just arrived at the secret place and has already encountered the ripening of the Yellow Dragon Fungus..."
"With our senior brother emerging from seclusion and arriving at the secret realm, our four major demonic sects have a much better chance of success in our plans. We are confident that we will be able to seize the opportunities within the secret realm and take down those cultivators from the Nine Kingdoms Alliance..."
One person flattered him with a respectful expression.
But before he could finish speaking, the man in black robes turned around and gave him a cold look, a chilling expression appearing on his handsome but pale face.
The man paused, then was immediately startled. He quickly lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother. Disciples have been arranged to patrol the area. No villains will be able to get close."
Upon hearing this, Wu Chengfeng turned back, his gaze returning to Huang Longzhi, and said calmly, "How can this matter be leaked? Any more words, and you'll be trapped in my Ghost Banner."
Upon hearing this, the man shuddered and lowered his head, daring not to say another word.
"People from the Ghost Spirit Sect? What do they mean by those words? They're probably plotting something big!!"
Lin Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a serious expression appearing on his face.
The three people in the room were dressed in black robes, and behind each of them was a pattern of ghosts and gods formed by interwoven white lines.
The pattern only outlines the upper body, the face of the ghost is unclear, but it inexplicably shows a bit of ferocity and horror. It is a thing wearing a wide white robe, with its arms outstretched, holding a ghostly lamp in one hand and a soul-guiding banner in the other...
It is the iconic symbol of the Ghost Spirit Sect, one of the four major demonic sects in the Northwest.
It is said that this sect of demonic cultivators mainly cultivates techniques related to the soul, and their methods are mostly based on this path. They are bizarre and cruel, and they like to extract the souls of cultivators for refining, which is extremely cruel and intolerable to the laws of heaven.
The brief conversation suggested a conspiracy targeting the Nine Kingdoms Alliance cultivators in the secret realm.
Although the details are unknown, we can speculate that the matter is not so simple.
After all, the four top demonic sects were all involved in this joint plot.
Are they planning a surprise attack to seize an opportunity? Or is there another scheme at play?
Lin Xiuyuan guessed.
The former has occurred many times in secret realms. After all, the struggle for opportunities is far more dangerous, and there is no reason for a truce here. The two sides are constantly at odds, and battles frequently break out.
Besides the demonic path, the cultivators of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance also frequently organize raids into enemy camps to plunder opportunities.
But I'm afraid it's the latter; who knows what other arrangements and plans they might have?
Lin Xiuyuan could not understand the situation based on just a few words. He left it to Chen Xue and continued to observe the situation.
"He's actually the senior disciple of the Ghost Spirit Sect! No wonder he can command cultivators on patrol. Such a figure is a prodigy of the Demonic Sect!"
"This person must be very strong. However, there are only three of them... If I can take them down in one fell swoop, leaving this place shouldn't be too difficult?"
"On the way back to the other side of the ridge, only two groups of demonic cultivators reacted quickly enough to intercept me, about four people in total. It would have been difficult for them to stop me..."
Lin Xiuyuan's gaze focused on Huang Longzhi, weighing the options in his mind, and he felt that he still had a certain degree of confidence.
Although he has a senior disciple from the Ghost Spirit Sect, his strength is undoubtedly formidable.
But he's not bad either, and he doesn't linger in battle; he seizes opportunities and runs, so he still has a good chance of success.
At least 60%!
That's enough to put up a fight.
With this thought in mind, Lin Xiuyuan continued to hide carefully, his eyes fixed on the yellow dragon fungus.
As time goes by.
Not only Lin Xiuyuan's gaze was focused on it, but the eyes of the three people in the room were also fixed on Huang Longzhi.
The yellow light in the soil ahead gradually intensified, obscuring the view within.
All I could see were tiny yellow roots, like tentacles, extending outwards and gradually breaking through the soil.
It looked strangely eerie, but it was also filled with an increasingly rich aura of pure spiritual energy.
Before long, a large number of roots had completely broken through the soil.
At this moment, the faint yellow light gradually faded away.
Most Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms are umbrella-shaped, but this Huanglongzhi is quite different; it doesn't look like Ganoderma lucidum at all.
Its base has a large number of roots, while its top is long and flat, forming the shape of a winding Ganoderma lucidum. It is yellow all over.
A more elegant description would be that it resembles a dragon soaring through the air; a more colloquial one would compare it to a small yellow snake...
As the yellow glow faded, a pure and rich spiritual energy emanated, instantly soothing the nerves and refreshing the mind.
Wu Chengfeng immediately reached out and beckoned, a hint of joy in his eyes.
Having broken through the barrier and arrived at the secret realm, they encountered a spiritual object like the Yellow Dragon Fungus, which could be used to refine high-grade cultivation pills for the Foundation Establishment stage. This can hardly be considered a sign of great fortune.
However, the next moment, Wu Chengfeng's expression changed and suddenly turned gloomy.
Three white rays silently streaked past, and the spiritual energy fluctuation was only felt when they got close.
But it was too late.
A white light flashed by in an instant, piercing into the yellow dragon fungus.
Although this action may slightly impair the medicinal properties of the yellow fungus, as long as it is stored properly immediately, the medicinal properties will not be lost too much, which is better than missing this opportunity.
One white feather needle severed its root, while the other two pierced it at lightning speed, carrying the yellow dragon fungus back swiftly.
Wu Chengfeng immediately accelerated the activation of his magic power, but the extended magic power alone was no match for the speed of the white feather needles.
He turned his head, his expression dark and filled with rage. "How dare you! You dare to snatch food from my jaws! You're courting death!"
Instantly, Wu Chengfeng activated his spirit sword, which emitted a faint black light and suddenly slashed towards Lin Xiuyuan's hiding place. At the same time, his entire body was also filled with black and gray aura, which made him transform into a black light and shoot out at high speed in an instant.
But at this moment.
After seizing Huang Longzhi, Lin Xiuyuan immediately fled.
The sword flashed, only causing the grass and trees to scatter.
When Wu Chengfeng caught up, he saw a streak of blue light leaping about at an extremely fast speed, almost disappearing from sight.
"Hmph, trying to escape? Wishful thinking!"
Wu Chengfeng rode his sword and gave chase, taking out a black banner in the back of his hand. As it fluttered in the wind, it seemed as if there were streams of eerie light flowing around it.
But there was something strange and mysterious about it. As Wu Chengfeng poured his magic power into the banner, causing the Ghost Banner to rise, faces that seemed to be in pain, ferocious, or numb appeared faintly on the surface of the black banner.
In an instant, all sorts of extremely eerie sounds rang out, like the wailing of ghosts and howling of wolves. Some people were whispering, some were howling, and some were roaring in pain.
As a large amount of magical power was poured into it, its power was unleashed, and a faint blackish-gray light rapidly spread outwards.
The speed of its spread was extremely fast, seemingly more than twice that of the blue light.
The vegetation along the way trembled as the faint blackish-gray light swept over it, as if it were affected by some inexplicable and terrifying force.
"Bang!"
Before long, the streak of azure light, which had already traveled a great distance, crashed heavily to the ground...
