From the wind cave, an Earth Immortal Realm warrior walked out, carrying Leng Buji’s body in one hand and a Quasi Relic armor in another.
Jun Mengchen had stepped away earlier. Seeing the Earth Immortal Realm warrior coming out, he went forward and asked, “Uncle Nine, where are the others?”
The man referred to as Uncle Nine shook his head and said, “The Feather Wind in the cave is too heavy. I cannot go deeper. But it is weird… they have a Noble Lord Realm warrior among them, and that guy is not afraid of Feather Wind. He has taken Leng Wushang and the others into the cave.”
“That Noble Lord Realm warrior?”
Jun Mengchen and the others were taken aback. They had found it strange that Leng Wushang took a Noble Lord Real warrior on his team. That warrior had such impressive abilities. That explained it.
“Smash the mountain open!”
Jun Mengchen took out a Quasi Relic axe and said ferociously, “Let us work together and cut the mountain open. Today, I swear I will cut off Leng Wushang’s limbs. I will make him pray for death.”
The two Earth Immortal Realm warriors shook their heads with a bitter smile, but the other two young masters and the young lady were more than excited. They had already taken actions.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
But as they blasted the mountain, they realized that the best they could do was to stir up some dust. The mountain only trembled for a bit. The black rock that formed the mountain was indestructible.
“How…”
Jun Mengchen stopped after a while. He thought for a bit and said, “The cave must contain valuables or else the mountain wouldn’t have been so stiff. Besides, the cave houses Feather Wind. I think… the Relic weapons and armors are here. Judging past experiences, the more dangerous a place is, the more likely it will have treasures.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. But none of them could go in, not with such strong Feather Wind. Even if they could be sure that there were Relic weapons and armors in there, what could they do?
“Uncle Eleven, I remember you understand a Profound Meaning in the category of earth. Can you try to blast the mountain? If you can make the mountain tumble down, we can dig to the cave bit by bit.”
Jun Mengchen asked the other Earth Immortal Realm warrior on their team with apparent anticipation in his eyes. The Earth Immortal Realm warrior gave it much thought. Then, he generated many hand prints. Xuan Qi began to gather together. Next, he took out a dueling sword that was glowing in a yellowish color. Around the blade, the glare was becoming brighter and brighter.
“Hoy!”
Uncle Eleven swung the dueling sword and hacked into the ground. It trembled violently. Following that, as if tides were surging out from underneath, the ground burst open piece by piece. The terrifying strength spread across the mountain, shaking it. Rocks were falling down from above the wind cave.
“That is very nice!”
They all felt excited. The mountain didn’t come tumbling down at once, but at the very least, it was shaking. At this rate, the mountain would give away to constant attack.
Once the mountain collapsed, the rocks in the cave would be cracked as well. By that time, anyone of them could rip through the wind cave. They could dig their way in, and sooner or later, they would reach the depth of the cave.
“Uncle Elven, I appreciate your help.”
Jun Mengchen had made up his mind. He wanted the wind cave broken open even if meant they had to spend months here. He wanted to show Leng Wushang what it was like to feel living was no better than dying. Of course, the fact that there likely to be valuables at the bottom of the wind cave was also a driver for Jun Mengchen to make this decision.
Uncle Eleven and Uncle Nine looked at each other speechlessly. Since Jun Mengchen was determined, they couldn’t say otherwise. Jun Mengchen was the future Family Patriarch. In the Jun Family, his status was higher than Leng Wushang’s in the Leng Family. They couldn’t have disobeyed Jun Mengchen in this circumstance.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
Uncle Eleven kept smashing the mountain. Though made of strange rocks, it was not an iron plate. Cracks would appear under incessant attacks. By that time, the mountain could be broken open.
That being said, judging by the state of the mountain, it would take him at least half a month before the mountain could crumble down.
What was more, the wind cave was a meandering one. If they wanted to dig their way to where Lu Li was, they would have to spend two months.
However, Jun Mengchen had made up his mind. Last time, he was disgraced, being tortured by Leng Wushang in the Purgatory of Primordial Chaos. That was the worst humiliation he had ever experienced in his entire life. If he couldn’t take the chance to get revenge and vent his anger, that incident would become a demon in his heart, affecting his future cultivation.
Merely over four months had passed since they entered the Forbidden Ground of Elder God. They had another more than seven months left. Jun Mengchen decided to spend three months here, and he would not rest until he had felt avenged.
…
“Boom, boom, boom~”
In the cave, Lu Li could feel the vibration clearly. The sound echoed in the cave, loud enough to wake the dead. Accompanying that, there were dusts falling down.
“Someone is smashing at the mountain? Are they trying to make the cave tumble down?”
Lu Li opened his eyes and frowned. But he was not entirely worried. Even after the mountain collapsed, merely two miles of cave tunnel would tumble down. He was at the bottom and would not be affected.
The stone cave was stiff.
When Leng Buji was killed by the Jun Family Earth Immortal Realm warrior killed, a huge explosion went off. But that didn’t incur serious damage to the stone cave. Lu Li was confident about his safety here.
He thought he might just as well cut off his senses to the outside. He focused solely on cultivation. If the enemies could enter, they would kill Leng Wushang first.
As for Leng Wushang and the other two, Lu Li was not worried at all that they would escape. Under the influence of this strong Feather Wind, the three of them couldn’t even walk. They could only roll around and endure the biting pain should they wake up.
Time moved on as the Jun Family Uncle Elven was attacking at the mountain. Soon, 10 days passed. Leng Wushang, Leng Wumi and Leng Wuxin woke up on several occasions but they soon passed out because of the pain again.
The three of them were smart enough to take soul-nurturing pellets as soon as they were conscious. In this way, their soul would be nurtured by constant supplies of energy. Their souls wouldn’t collapse after being severely damaged.
Leng Wuxin yelled Lu Li’s name after she woke up but he couldn’t hear her. Even if he could, he would have pretended otherwise…
His entire mind was on learning the Soul Snatching Skill!
He realized this cave was a perfect place for cultivation, better than all the treasured land he had been previously. He felt he could move very fast in learning arcane skills. He could tell his mind was becoming particularly organized and active. He could comprehend many matters soon.
In merely 10 days, he had gained a comprehensive grasp of the Soul Snatching Skill’s connotation. He set about to create soul seed.
Two steps were involved in the Soul Snatching Skill. The first was to create soul seed and the second was to plant the soul seed. After the two steps were completely, the target that had soul seed planted would be taken into complete control when the soul seed took root and grew unless the target dissolved the soul seed somehow.
The creation of soul seed was critical. One careless move and it could backfire. Lu Li took a rest and checked his conditions before he attended to the creation of soul seed.
It was pitch dark in the cave. On the contrary, Lu Li’s head was glowing, flickering like fireflies in the dark. It was both frightening and mysterious.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
The tunnel passed down the deafening noise and the sound echoed again and again. Dust was falling down. But the Feather Wind kept on blowing, as if it never knew when to end.
One day later, Leng Wuxin woke up again. She had lost the strength to scream. She took great effort to swallow down some soul nurturing pellets and energy pellets. She then yelled with all the power she could gather, “Lu Li, get out here. If I die, you will not be able to survive. Get out of there~”
Her voice resounded in the cave. It was like Lu Li had vanished. He didn’t show up nor answer. Finally, there was a trace of terror in Leng Wuxin’s eyes.
She had aspired to kill Leng Wushang and had never expected that she…seemed to have fallen into Lu Li’s trap as well.
