Chapter 3785: Advantage of Time
“Haha, what Lord? One of his legs was broken by my Founder, and he almost dug out his heart. If Old Geezer Gu dares to come out now, I’ll kill him,” a red-robed man said, his face filled with disdain.
As expected, it had been tricked out.
This was caused by the unequal information that both sides knew. When the other party saw that not only had Ling Han and his group found the place, they had also activated the mechanism, they must have thought that they were the blood sucking Spirit Transformation True Lord’s people. They had never thought that it was actually Ling Han who had killed him and snatched his treasures.
Ling Han continued to bluff, “Humph, Milord’s recovery rate is extremely good. Just a few nobodies like you dare to come here; you’re really courting death!”
Hearing these words, the expressions of the five people changed slightly.
After all, that was a Spirit Transformation True Lord. Even if a tiger died, its might was still there. Moreover, he was not dead yet. What if he really recovered to the strength of Core Formation Tier, or even True Self Tier? Then wouldn’t they just be seeking death?
“Humph, don’t try to trick me!” Among the five of them, the man in black clothing smirked coldly, “Our Founder has returned to the sect, and has a large amount of Celestial medicines to support him. He has just recovered the battle prowess of the Core Formation Tier, and Old Monster Gu has fled into Moonlight Planet. How could it be that he would dare to publicly suck blood to heal his injuries, and is not afraid of being killed by the elites of the Azure Dragon Majestic Empire?”
Ling Han smiled faintly. These words revealed a lot of information.
Firstly, the elite who had competed with the blood sucking Spirit Transformation True Lord for the treasure map was also severely wounded, so he couldn’t take the treasure himself.
But why had only a few Cauldron Forging Tiers been sent?
Because they were not the people of the Azure Dragon Majestic Empire, sending elites over would attract the attention of the Azure Dragon Majestic Empire. It should be known that it was presently the time when the Shadow Moon Majestic Empire was invading, and the Azure Dragon Majestic Empire would definitely not allow unfamiliar elites to come to their base.
There were other considerations as well. Perhaps that so-called Founder was worried about elites of the same cultivation level as him. What if someone really took the treasure and did not hand it over to him?
When it concerned precious cultivation techniques and rare treasures, who would even consider the friendship of fellow sect members?
Moreover, the higher one’s cultivation level was, the higher the teleportation fee would be. This should also be one of the reasons.
“Alright, I won’t trick you,” Ling Han said with a smile. “What do you guys want to do now?” “Needless to say, I’m naturally going to kill you!” The red-robed man laughed loudly. “Since we’ve confirmed that Old Monster Gu isn’t here, the three of you… should just die!”
Ling Han was trying to trick them, and they were also trying to get information out of him. Tang Yan laughed loudly, and crooked a finger, “Come on then!”
“I’ll kill you!” A woman in green leaped over, sword in hand. She directly burst through the doors, and charged towards Tang Yan.
“Sigh!” Tang Yan didn’t dodge, and he remained as calm as could be.
“Junior Sister Wu, be careful!” the red-robed man suddenly shouted.
However, it was already too late.
Though the woman in green had not stepped on the ground in the garden, after she had flown a certain distance in the air, she had also activated the formation. Xiu, a flash of sword light immediately slashed towards her.
It was incredibly fast, and it was equivalent to the attack of a Core Formation Tier elite. How could a Cauldron Forging Tier dodge it?
Pa, a ball of blood exploded, as if a rose had bloomed in fury.
“Ah!” The woman in green screamed in pain. She had already retreated, but her left arm had been severed from the shoulder. Blood was gushing out, and she looked extremely miserable. “Junior Sister!” The other four people all surrounded her, all of them concerned and furious. “You people are so ruthless!” the man in black chided harshly.
Tang Yan shrugged, “Oh, you guys can kill us, and we are ruthless just because we counterattack? Hehe, this has nothing to do with us. We were not the ones who set up the formation.”
“Humph, do you really think that we cannot kill you just because of this?” The man in green robes who had not spoken all this while finally spoke up. He took out a sculpture. It was only about a foot tall, and was as white as jade.
He recited an incantation, and his eyes suddenly burst with silver light. Weng, the eyes of that statue actually turned the same lustre white. Xiu, a pillar of light suddenly shot out, striking out at Tang Yan.
Peng!
Light clashed fiercely, dazzling and brilliant.
Tang Yan was given a fright. This was because the Light of Dao had struck him too quickly, and he had not managed to dodge or block in time at all. Furthermore, it was the rare treasure on him that had automatically activated, saving his life.
What if he delivered another shot?
“Quick, follow me!” Ling Han obviously thought of it as well, and hurriedly shouted.
Moreover, it was fortunate that it was Tang Yan who had been shot. What if it had been him or Jin Yexue?
Jin Yexue hurriedly followed, and Tang Yan also followed closely behind. However, it was clear from this how meticulously Tang Yan was thinking. As he walked, he sent out a palm strike, stimulating the power of heaven and earth, which turned into a dazzling brilliance, blurring the position where they had landed, so that the green-robed man and the others would not remember their route.
The man in green was also astonished. He hadn’t expected that he would still fail to kill Tang Yan even after unleashing his most powerful weapon.
Moreover, this Spirit Tool was actually at the level of the Core Formation Tier. With his strength, he couldn’t activate it continuously, so he hurriedly handed it over to the red-robed
man beside him.
The red-robed man injected his mystical power into the statue. Weng, the eyes of the statue lit up again. Xiu, a pillar of light shot out.
Unfortunately, Ling Han and the others had already made a turn in time, and circled behind a flowerbed. This pillar of light landed on the stones of the flowerbed, and did not hit them.
In this way, Ling Han and the others had already left them far behind. Firstly, it was not easy to aim, and secondly, there were even more obstacles on their way, so it was impossible to hit
them.
“Junior Sister Nangong, it’s up to you now,” the man in green said to the woman at the end.
Her name was Nangong Qian, and aside from being a cultivator, she was also a Formation
Master.
“All right!” She nodded, “I will break through the formation as soon as possible, and make those three pay the price for Junior Sister Wu’s injuries!”
The woman in green held a sword, her face pale, her eyes filled with killing intent.
She had lost an arm, and from now onwards, she had become a cripple!
And all this was because of those three people.
Ling Han led the way, and soon walked through this garden.
“This isn’t good. Not only do they have more Cauldron Forging Tier elites than us, but they also have a rare treasure with astonishing destructive power.” Tang Yan frowned. “I still have the ability to protect myself, but if you guys take a hit, you’ll probably be in trouble.” Ling Han and Jin Yexue both nodded. They did not have a life-saving treasure like Tang Yan. “We still have some advantage in time. Let’s move quickly,” Ling Han said.
“En!”
They hurriedly walked forwards. After passing through the garden, there was a hall ahead of them. Ling Han first observed it, and after confirming that there was no danger, it was still Tang Yan who took the lead. Then, Ling Han and Jin Yexue followed him in. Though there were no treasures here, Jin Yexue was slightly distracted. She looked left and
right, her eyes slightly drifting, as if she was picturing how when the ancestors of the Jin Clan were still alive, this place was filled with guests.
They passed through the Main Hall, and when they came out, three paths appeared at the
same time.
“One leads to the inner courtyard, one leads to the training ground, and one leads to the Cultivation Technique Library,” Jin Yexue said.
This should be a memory left behind by their ancestors. Even in their dreams, they dreamt of returning to their ancestral grounds.
