Chapter 209 - Induction
A giant purple fern leaf swayed not far away, and a gentle, smiling voice echoed, "What a path to sustainable development! Thank you, my friend! Your sect's treasure-hunting method is truly eye-opening for me."
The stars flashed, and Mo Chen, wearing a star-blue robe, walked out calmly.
Behind him followed two Xingyun Pavilion Divine Transformation cultivators with solemn auras. Looking at the scene in front of them where a layer of soil had been scraped off by the Guixu Sect disciples, even Mo Chen's gentle smile showed a slight stiffness on his face.
"Mo Chen!" Xie Zhao's eyes lit up, and he immediately put on a warm smile. "What a coincidence! You're lost too? Want to travel with me? Although our place is a bit clean, it's safer!"
Mo Chen laughed and shook his head, his eyes sweeping over the hardworking outer disciples. His tone was filled with admiration, "It seems the rise of the Guixu Sect is no accident. With disciples so... diligent, there's no need to worry about the sect's thriving."
He paused, then said seriously, "I just sensed the spatial fluctuations here, and came here specifically. We can't stay here for long. The spatial rupture just now might have alarmed some ancient beings in the secret realm. If you, Mr. Xie, don't have a clear destination for the time being, why not join me for a while? Xingyun Pavilion has studied the star map of this ruins a little, and perhaps we can avoid some dangerous areas."
Xie Zhao was calculating rapidly in his mind.
Traveling with Mo Chen had more advantages than disadvantages. Safety was guaranteed, and we could share star map information, making it easier to find our brothers.
He nodded readily, "That's great! I'll trouble Senior Mo Chen to lead the way! Brothers! Pack your things! Let's go drink soup with the big boss of Xingyun Pavilion!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples immediately swept up the last bit of spoils at an astonishing speed, quickly forming a team and looking eagerly at Mo Chen—this was a big shot who could hold a conversation with the eldest brother on an equal footing! Following him, they would definitely find better treasures!
Mo Chen looked at this group of Guixu Sect disciples who had instantly transformed from locusts to elites, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch again.
He smiled gently, starlight swirling on his fingertips, unfolding an illusory star map: "Then let's set off. According to the star map, there seems to be a large building complex in the southeast. Perhaps..."
Before he could finish his words, Xie Zhao interrupted him: "Maybe there's something good here! Brothers! Head southeast! Let's go!"
The Guixu Sect team immediately followed with high morale.
Mo Chen: "..." He smiled and shook his head, looking at the two elders, and saw some helplessness and surprise in each other's eyes.
This Guixu Sect is really not polite at all.
At the same time, in another Gobi desert in the secret realm, it was filled with fierce golden evil energy.
Chu Linyuan expressionlessly pulled the Frost Sword out of the body of a monster formed from an ancient golden evil spirit that was trying to launch a sneak attack.
The monster wailed and turned into pure golden evil energy and dissipated, leaving behind a sharp golden crystal core.
Tie Niu crushed another monster's head with his massive paw and said in a deep voice, "Big Brother! There are so many monsters in this damn place!"
Luo Hongyi's fingertips released a wisp of poisonous mist, corroding several evil spirits in the distance. Impatience was on her beautiful face: "They are nothing but useless garbage. They are not even qualified to test the medicine."
Their team is large in number. In addition to Chu Linyuan, Tie Niu, Luo Hongyi, there are more than a dozen outer disciples.
At this moment, these new disciples were nervously forming a circle according to the formation they had practiced before, resisting the sporadic attacks of evil spirits. Although they were in a mess, they were growing rapidly in actual combat.
Chu Linyuan put away the golden crystal core without even looking at the traces of battle on the ground.
His eyes were fixed in one direction, his brows slightly furrowed.
The dark golden dragon pattern on his left cheek was slightly warm, which was the direction of the subtle connection between him and Xie Zhao.
"Brother, are you worried about Second Brother?" Luo Hongyi finished dealing with the evil spirit and walked over to him, her red lips curled slightly. "That evildoer is very cunning, and with that girl Su Tang live-streaming beside him, he can't die. He might be leading his team of little locusts to plunder the land somewhere right now."
Chu Linyuan was silent for a moment, and his cold voice left no room for doubt: "Meet up as soon as possible."
He did not stop, his black robe fluttering, and he walked first in the direction of the sensing.
Tie Niu immediately picked up the heavy hammer and called out to the other disciples in a deep voice, "Quick! Follow the eldest brother!"
Luo Hongyi snorted, but hurried to catch up. The poisonous mist from his fingertips vaguely enveloped the back of the team, quietly dispelling some evil spirits that tried to track them.
This team, like an icy arrow, moved unwaveringly towards the direction where Xie Zhao was, tearing through the heavy evil spirits and rushing away.
Chu Linyuan took the lead, his black clothes fluttering in the violent golden evil wind. The Frost Silence Sword was not even unsheathed, but with just the sharp sword intent emanating from his body, he silently annihilated the golden evil monster that was rushing towards him.
His speed was astonishing, his purpose clear, no detours or explorations intended, only a straight dash towards the point he sensed. Any obstacles in his path, whether terrain or spirits, were destroyed or surmounted in the most direct and efficient manner.
Tie Niu followed closely behind, and the sound of wind and thunder was heard as he swung the Guixu Dragon Spine Hammer.
He didn't need to think, only follow his senior brother's orders to advance, crushing into dust any monsters that rushed in from the side or that Chu Linyuan's sword missed. Star patterns shimmered faintly on his bronze skin, resisting the ubiquitous golden evil's erosion like an indestructible heavy chariot.
Luo Hongyi was located a little later in the middle of the team, with a hint of boredom and disgust on her beautiful face.
She didn't use her full strength, and the poisonous mist that flicked through her fingertips seemed more like she was just clearing away dust.
Her main focus was on the simple defensive formation formed by the dozen or so outer disciples.
Whenever a disciple was struggling or the formation was about to be broken, there would always be a perfect wisp of poison mist or detoxification pill energy quietly arriving, either to weaken the enemy or boost the disciple's condition.
"Zuo San, steady your steps! Do you want to be poked into a sieve?"
"Connect the right wing talisman! Three breaths to midnight! Haven't you eaten yet?"
"Hmph, this evil spirit's toxicity is acceptable, but its intelligence is too low to be of much use."
She controlled the situation with precision and made sarcastic comments, forcing these new disciples to make rapid progress while marching at high speed, making them more proficient in operating the simple defensive formation.
Wherever this team went, they were able to crush everything with ease.
They did not stop for a moment, did not collect any resources, and did not explore any forks in the road. They just took a straight, violent route, brutally crossing the Gobi Desert, leaving behind a track paved with monster debris and broken evil stones. Their efficiency was shockingly high.
Xie Zhao and his team were advancing in an almost sneaky manner.
They moved closely along the huge tree roots and dense bushes, their footsteps extremely light, and the Jinghong Talisman Pen occasionally cast faint stealth runes to conceal the team's presence.
Mo Chen followed Xie Zhao and watched as a Guixu Sect outer disciple carefully dug up a piece of glowing moss along with a large piece of soil, carefully placing it in a specially made jade box.
Another disciple used wooden tongs to pick up a colorful centipede that looked extremely poisonous and excitedly stuffed it into the poison jar;
Further away, two disciples were even working together to saw off a dead branch, but the wood contained strange spiritual power...
The smile on the gentle and jade-like face of the Starfall Pavilion Master once again showed a hint of forced and incomprehensible feeling.
The two Divine Transformation Elders behind him were even more twitching. When they explored the secret realms of the Falling Star Pavilion, they always had clear goals, heading straight for the core ruins or places with rich star power...
"Thank you, young friend..." Mo Chen finally couldn't help himself and spoke gently, "This rainforest is rich in spiritual energy and indeed contains many rare treasures, but won't such a meticulous search delay our progress? The star map shows that the core area of the ruins ahead has quite intense energy fluctuations and may be even more valuable."
