That voice spread down along the slight wind in the tunnel… they were around twenty miles away. Who knew how many explosive fire talismans they used to open the path and cause such a loud tremor.

Their speed was also extremely quick. In just a short while, they were a thousand feet closer.

Zong Shou’s expression didn’t change. He was still calm and composed, quietly waiting for the Darkness Blooming Cereus to wither.

The final petal withered and fell off. At the heart of the flower, three strawberry-like black fruits were revealed as they did so.

Just as these three Darkness Blooming Cereus fruits were about to drop onto the ground, Zong Shou caught them.

The Darkness Blooming Cereus was poisonous but this spirit fruit was not. Instead it had a nice fragrance and an alluring color.

When Zong Shou got his hands on them, he immediately placed them into porcelain bottles. He didn’t hesitate to use two spells to cover sound and scent, bringing Chuxue and leaving right away.

Just as they travelled five-some miles, before they got close to the deep hole he had opened up, the voice that spread out previously was just inches away. They were in a branch tunnel near this underground stream, and were swiftly closing in, just two miles away.

Listening to the footsteps that were getting closer and closer, Zong Shou frowned, feeling helpless.

With their speed, it was impossible to escape. If they walked on like this, they would be found sooner or later.

The auras that were closing in showed no signs of being hidden or covered. There were many strong people; apart from a few Xiantian masters, there were even Out of Body Realm spirit masters and Martial Ancestors.

He currently had so many heavy treasures on him, coming into contact with them wasn’t a wise decision.

Looking around, Zong Shou had an idea. He looked upwards at the arched ceiling roof, and there was actually a natural caved-in portion.

Slightly focusing, Zong Shou used a noise blocking technique, and a Lonely Spirit talisman, cutting off and extinguis.h.i.+ng the spiritual energy waves and sounds here. He than grabbed Chuxue and climbed towards the roof. The three stone puppets did the same, their hands and legs all stabbing into the dirt and stone. Their bodies changed and in just a short moment they were no different from normal granite, blocking the bodies of the two from sight completely.

Just as the two of them hid themselves and covered their auras, they saw through the cracks a bunch of people turning a corner.

The two in front were dressed in heavy iron armor, like generals. They walked slowly and calmly, but they were both Xiantians.

After the two of them came a middle-aged man. He was wearing a green robe, and there were black spiritual patterns on his hands and his neck. Looking at it, it seemed like an actual spiritual formation covering his face.

Above his hand hung a green-blue coloured flame, illuminating this dark cave, but giving off an intimidating dark aura.

Beside him was a fifty-year-old man. His hair was deep red, his eyes seemed to have electrical currents flowing in them, making him seem courageous and valiant.

Behind these few people were twenty nine-meridian Mythic Masters. There were also a bunch of people badly dressed, being dragged in chains by these martial cultivators.

Most of them showed characteristics of beasts, each of varying degrees. They either had beast ears, or beast tails or fur s.h.i.+ning densely. However all of them were scarred, only covered with some torn cloth. Their hands and legs were cuffed up, some of the more burly ones even had steel nails through their joints and bones, or their tendons and muscles were torn.

Most of them had to use both their hands and legs together to be able to barely keep up. If their speed was too slow, those Mythic Masters would whip them.

Chuxue’s body instantly tensed up. Zong Shou frowned too; the ones being cuffed up were all from the Monster race.

He turned towards the few people in the front. Those two Xiantian Masters didn’t have much worth noticing.

Not only were they not as strong as Hundred Thousand Blood Killer Li Yaling, they were even much weaker than Deceitful Sword Ren Qianchou.

At most they were the same level as that unknown Old Mi in the Blood Valley.

Only that Martial Ancestor and the spirit master were worth him paying some slight attention to. The former gave off an intense but stable aura, his vital energy really strong. It was obvious he had reached a certain Realm in the path of martial arts.

As for that spirit master, he would definitely be from a famous sect, or his master was a famous expert in the world.

The spirit formation drawn on him was obviously from the hands of someone above the Day Wandering Realm. Drawing G.o.d Talisman on one’s body… only once he reached the Night Wandering stage would he be able to grasp some amount of G.o.d Talisman spells in advance.

This was similar to the G.o.d Talisman seeds left by the Lingyun Ancestor, only that the latter was more incredible.

Moreover, unless one trusted the other a lot, he definitely wouldn’t allow it! If it wasn’t his master, it would be someone really close to him.

These two people weren’t easy to deal with. The twenty Mythic Masters behind were also acting as one, and were dressed in decent armor.

Although he was able to kill Li Yaling that day, he didn’t have much confidence of being able to deal with all of these attacking him together.

The moment the middle-aged spirit master walked out of the branch tunnel, he stopped in his tracks and looked around in doubt.

That old man also stopped, filled with excitement, “Mr Mingjue why did we stop, did you find something?”

That Mingjue shook his head, observing the area carefully. After a short while he shook his head, “Maybe I’m wrong, but the nearby spiritual energy changes seem unnatural. In this place where the branch path meets, where the energy currents gathered, it is just too silent…”

That old man was slightly disappointed, following which he said in thoughtfully, “When I used my spiritual sense to feel, I also found this place weird. When I used my soul to observe and found that apart from the spiritual energy being quiet, there wasn’t anything else. Mostly it is formed naturally, the mind stone distribution here is also really low.”

That Mingjue was still filled with doubts, his brow still frowning as he spreading out his senses all around. He heard the old man’s tone change, saying with thanks, “This time it is all thanks to Mr Mingjue. If it wasn’t for you using this Blood Energy Spiritual Leading technique, I, Dou Lingzhen, nearly thought that this was just a small Grade One mine. No wonder that s.h.i.+ Lianhai is spending so much to compete with me. Using five hundred thousand troops and hiring tens of Xiantian experts to attack my Fenghua City! This time I really have to thank you…”

When he heard that, Mingjue was distracted, smiling, “You don’t have to thank us. The Demon Flag Sect isn’t helping you for free, City Lord Dou just has to remember the agreement!”

Zong Shou’s eyes shone slightly. This Dou Lingzhen person was the City Lord of Fenghua City. So the s.h.i.+ Lianhai he talked about would be the City Lord of Lianhai City.

This Demon Flag Sect also has some fame, although they weren’t listed in the Ten Shrines and Nineteen Spirit Houses, but they weren’t weak. They occupied a few spiritual lands whose effects weren’t weaker than those last few Spirit Houses. Their sect also had a few Grandmaster and Body Forming spirit masters.

However, that sect was a true Demon Sect!

Dou Lingzhen laughed out loud in a straightforward tone, “Naturally! This mind stone mine should be above Grade Two; as for what we get, it will be eight to two; we get two, Demon Flag Sect will get eight! I won’t go against my word. However, that Lianhai City as well as the Hidden Sword Villa helping them, I will need your sect to help me out.”

The last few sentences had a sort of probing tone. That Mingjue scoffed coldly, not bothering to answer. He grabbed out with his hands and pulled several tiger-blood Monster race people before him. A few claw chains shot out from his sleeves, tearing and hooking, breaking open their heads. Inside their skulls a blood-colored worm was moving around.

Mingjue used a spell and immediately the heads of these few Monster race people started to burn. All of a sudden this cave was filled with painful screams.

In a short while the flames spread to the entire bodies of the prisoners, and a ball of b.l.o.o.d.y light appeared in Mingjue’s hands, spinning around on his palm.

After a few breaths, Mingjue revealed a disappointed expression, “That’s weird, the mine core should be near here. However, using the Blood Energy Spirit Leading Technique, I can’t determine the direction.”

Looking behind him, a flash of worry appeared upon his brow, “We do have not much raw material left, and at most can use it twice more. If we can’t find it, we can only give up.”

Dou Lingzhen frowned, “If Mr Mingjue needs more blood spirits, outside our Fenghua City are many hungry people with no hope of living. You can just take them and use them if you want…”

“I thank you for your kindness, but my technique isn’t so simple.” Mingjue expressionlessly shook his head. “The blood sacrifice has to be of a certain cultivation level. The stronger the ingredient, the more effective it will be. That is why the Monster race is the best. These people have the blood of Desolate Era G.o.d beasts and have preserved it relatively perfectly. They are the best choice for using this Blood Energy Spirit Leading Technique!”

“So that’s the case!” Dou Lingzhen gave out a enlightened expression, and he couldn’t help but smile, “Speaking of which, these Monster race people are such a joke. Not wanting to live properly as humans and want to be like those beasts, merging with the blood of G.o.d beasts. Aren’t they no different from animals? Even their personalities are similar to those wild beasts, barbaric and violent. I was always curious why the sects didn’t work together and wipe out these monsters…”

When he said that, the Mythic Masters around all burst out in laughter, revealing a mocking tone.

Chuxue’s body was shaking as she heard that, unable to bear it and nearly exploding. Her eyes revealed a flame filled with utmost fury.

Zong Shou kept silent, Based on the historical records, during the Cloud Desolate Era, the people of the ancient races didn’t have an advantage, and numerous beasts roamed the wilderness, there were also invasions of races from other worlds.

In the early periods of the Cloud Desolate Era, humans nearly went extinct. Some human experts weren’t willing to see the fate of the human race end and merged with the Essence blood of G.o.d beasts to barely turn the tides.

The descendants of these people, as well as the new additions of experts, after losing billions, managed to conquer the land and stabilize the position of the human race as the true rulers!
