"This...you...it's impossible! The Star-Covering Cloak can refine all things. Anything that gets caught in its cover is doomed to die. How could you possibly do this? It's impossible!"
Li Sisui was astonished, not expecting this disheveled man to have such a powerful background. He had underestimated him. However, it could also be due to the sudden surge in his spiritual power. If it were before, things might really be as Boss Qu said:
"Oh, that's amazing. Well, it's nothing special... Bye-bye!"
Whoosh!
"No……"
puff!
Qu Laoda's eyes were unfocused, his limbs hung limply, and a blood hole the thickness of a finger between his eyebrows gushed out red and white substances. The scene was extremely disgusting. The three corpses died in a strangely similar manner. With a swift movement of his knife, he cut the three men down in front of him, expelling a breath of pent-up anger and feeling completely relieved!
"Phew! Strength! This is the benefit of great strength. Phew, simple and straightforward, saves me from wasting brainpower. Not bad, I've learned something!"
Li Sixui's chest heaved, his emotions surging. He had finally grown accustomed to killing, especially those who had hurt him. All he could think of were images of a headshot, and only such clean and swift images could dispel his pent-up frustration. Of course, there was also some guilt towards Leng Rushuang...
Now, the clouds have finally parted and the sun is shining. Thanks to the gift from the ghost immortal, his divine sense has surged once again. Although the three Qu brothers are nothing in the Asura Ridge, they have at least given him a clear understanding. When he encounters other cultivators in the Asura Ridge in the future, he will be more prepared and will no longer think that this place is no different from the Sage's Hill, as he did when he first arrived.
Li Sisui shook his head and chuckled. His previous ignorance was indeed laughable. The eagle was in sync with him and slowly landed on the ground. It glanced at the storage rings of the three Qu brothers, a glint of light flashing in its eyes. With a thought, the three storage rings flew up from the red and white mixture and floated towards Li Sisui!
Bang!
In an instant, Li Si crushed the three storage rings. With a wave of his hand, he stored everything that had exploded into the Mountain Ring. This was, after all, the Asura Ridge. Having learned from his previous experience, he had begun to be more cautious. As for cleaning up the battlefield and counting the spoils, he would do that when he was safe enough...
"Let's find a place to stay first, and then we can make further plans. It would be best to wait until Leng Rushuang wakes up!"
Li Sisu muttered to himself, then took out the treasure map, determined the direction, pointed in one direction, and the eagle flapped its wings, transforming into a streak of black light and shooting away, leaving behind only corpses and a mess!
Half a month later, two dark figures suddenly appeared. One of them glanced at the corpses of the three Qu brothers and said without any emotion:
"The storage ring was stolen, so it shouldn't be here anymore..."
As he spoke, the man suddenly closed his eyes, then abruptly opened his brow, revealing an empty eye socket without an eyeball. He emitted low, whimpering sounds, his nostrils twitching. After a moment, he returned to normal, sighed, and said:
"The scent completely disappeared from here, leaving no trace whatsoever, as if it had vanished from the Asura Ridge..."
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the other person, and he frowned slightly, saying:
"Could it be that we're climbing the mountain in place?"
"..."
"That possibility is too small. Perhaps it was put into some kind of magical artifact that can mask the smell. Once it's taken out, there's no way to escape!"
The two dark figures exchanged a glance, slowly nodded, and then vanished from their spot without warning.
"This treasure map only marks these locations, and we've been to all of them. It doesn't seem to have any connection to the Demon Mountain at all?"
Li Sisui gave a wry smile, then tossed the treasure map to Leng Rushuang. The latter caught it, her face grave, and examined the treasure map in her hand.
"Elder Guang mentioned before that this treasure map not only contains treasure, but also highlights locations that are frequent sites of great events in Shura Ridge. According to his reasoning, the entrance to Demon Mountain is likely to appear in these locations as well. However, our conversation was interrupted, and the matter was put on hold. Who would have thought that after that conversation, I would part ways with Elder Guang..."
Leng Rushuang awoke again after only three days of slumber. Just as Li Siyi had predicted, like Diao Bao, Leng Rushuang's cultivation had also advanced further. He hadn't expected the power of the Ghost Immortal to be so immense. Diao Bao and Leng Rushuang, who had only been touched by a little rain and dew, had both experienced varying degrees of growth in their cultivation and strength!
Given the abundance of natural treasures in Shura Ridge, it's unimaginable how powerful Lingyun is, having stolen his destiny for nearly a thousand years. To be on the safe side, the two discussed it for a long time and finally decided to help Leng Rushuang find the entrance to Demon Mountain before Li Sisui's cultivation level improved further. Perhaps with the help of the Demon Ancestor, he could deal with Lingyun more easily!
In the later episodes of "The Family of the Demons," Leng Rushuang meticulously discovered some strange aspects of the treasure map. Apart from the Green Lake where the ghost immortal hid, which was added later, the other marked locations were all earlier than Green Lake. Upon closer inspection of the treasure map's material, the marked locations appeared to be perfectly natural, except for the Green Lake location, which seemed out of place.
Afterwards, Li Si asked the Ghost Immortal Senior and discovered another shocking secret. It turned out that the treasure map was not drawn by the Ghost Immortal Senior alone. The place marked on the map was a forbidden area for cultivators, even in the Shura Ridge. Anyone without any cultivation strength would basically be sent to their death if they went there!
The reason why this treasure map is marked so clearly is that ancient people discovered the interrelationship between these locations, which are subtly connected to each other, as if it were some kind of secret formation. After the Ghost Immortal obtained the treasure map, he devoted himself to studying it. Just as he was preparing to explore it further, an unexpected event occurred!
In haste, he had no choice but to use these marked locations to cleverly construct the Emerald Lake Formation. He was able to hide in the Emerald Lake and escape disaster thanks to these marked locations. The power generated by their interconnection was completely beyond the imagination of the Ghost Immortal!
