Chapter 1653: Mysterious Cave

Boom!

Zhang Ruochen swept his sword forward and hit the left side of Saint King Senyu’s face. His cheekbone caved in, blood flowed out of his mouth, and his spine cracked.

Saint King Senyu felt his saint soul shake and his vision went dark. All his Spiritual Power and Holy Qi were scattered.

This was the God-Naming Platform Conference that the Truth Godly Palace hosted, so Zhang Ruochen didn’t kill Saint King Senyu and Saint King Luoqi. He just tied them up with Saint-binding Chains and tossed them into the Mercury Gourd.

He studied Xiang Chunan and asked curiously, “Chunan, how come you appeared here coincidentally?”

“Coincidence? I have the Thousand-Mile Vision. I saw you and sister-in-law get attacked by five bird men from hundreds of miles away, so I hurried over to help you. I didn’t know that these bird men were so weak. You could flatten them without me even doing anything.” Xiang Chunan looked like he hadn’t had enough fun.

“They’re not bird men,” Zhang Ruochen said seriously. “They’re angels from Heaven Field, one of the four top fields. You should leave quickly and not get involved, or else you’ll bring trouble on yourself.”

Hearing this, Xiang Chunan’s hair was about to stand up in anger. “We said we’ll go through all troubles and joys together. Am I the type to shrink back? I’m a man and I keep my word. So what if they’re angels from Heaven Field? I’m not scared.”

Zhang Ruochen stared deeply at Xiang Chunan. His heartstrings were pulled.

“Go through all troubles and joys together” was such a rare phrase. It was even more precious to hear when trouble was hanging above one’s head.

If Zhang Ruochen had thought becoming sworn brothers with Xiang Chunan and Feng Yan was a play before, he now had to take the relationship seriously.

“Go through all troubles and joys together” was carved into his heart.

“Okay, go through all troubles and joys together.”

Not wanting more time for dangers to arise, Zhang Ruochen put the Mercury Gourd away. He led Mu Lingxi and Xiang Chunan into the cave in the riverbed.

Kaboom.

The saint spring upstream flooded down, filling the dried river with water again.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Many figures flew over from all directions, landing on the riverbank. They all looked hesitant. They wanted to charge into the cave too, but they feared the power of Zhang Ruochen’s trio.

After all, those five Angel Saint Kings had been crushed so easily. Who still dared to fight with them?

In an ancient medicine garden of the Outer East Yard, Lan Sibai saw Nie Zhan, a red angel with four wings.

Nie Zhan was tall with broad shoulders. The two pairs of red wings on his back spread open like two red clouds hugging his body. He was filled with a bloodthirsty aura.

Other than Nie Zhan, there were close to 100 strong beings there. They were all from worlds that were friendly with Heaven Field.

Amongst them, a monk with no facial features stood side by side with Nie Zhan. His saintly might wasn’t any weaker than Nie Zhan’s.

This monk’s name was Faceless.

This group surrounded the ancient medicine garden so people from other worlds couldn’t enter. They monopolized the garden. Other people feared Heaven Field, so they were angry but didn’t dare to say anything.

When Lan Sibai hurried over, most of the medicine there had been picked already.

A beam of red light shot into the sky from Nie Zhan’s body. “He dared to attack prides from Heaven Field. Who is he? Could he be a godly descendant from one of the top 100 worlds?”

Usually, only those from the top 100 worlds dared to go up against Heaven Field. Even then, they were forced to attack instead of proactively attacking.

Proactively attacking was a provocation and had very serious consequences.

Gritting his teeth, Lan Sibai said, “They definitely aren’t from the top 100 worlds. They’re very unfamiliar. They must be the top figures from a weak world.”

A voice came from Faceless’s stomach. “You said earlier that they have a gourd treasure that can suck in Saint Kings?”

“Yes, the gourd must be a top rare treasure that they found at the God-Naming Platform. It’s very strong and emanates a water element Qi that is even heavier than 100-thousand-year-old medicine.” The image of the Mercury Gourd hovering in the air appeared in Lan Sibai’s mind. He had a strong desire for it.

“What is the situation with the cave under the saint spring?” Faceless continued asking.

Lan Sibai’s expression grew furious. “Divine light shone from that cave, along with the fragrance of medicine. There’s probably 100-thousand-year-old medicine in there. We discovered the cave first, but those three were barbaric and shameless. They attacked us secretly without any warning. Otherwise, with how strong the five of us are, how could we be defeated so tragically?”

Nie Zhan could become a red four-winged angel, so he was naturally very wise. He heard some holes in the story and guessed what had happened from Lan Sibai’s subtle expressions.

Lan Sibai’s group took advantage of their strong background and identity as cultivators of Heaven Field. They were used to intimidating and bullying cultivators of weaker worlds.

This time, they must’ve gotten their eyes on the gourd and wanted to steal it but took a hit.

Of course, no matter the reason, Saint King Luoqi and Jiya had extraordinary statuses. As the top figure of Heaven Field guarding the outer four yards, Nie Zhan couldn’t just sit and watch.

Whether they were right or wrong, Heaven Field was one of the ruling fields and couldn’t take any losses.

Plus, Nie Zhan was quite interested in the gourd and mysterious cave too.

Nie Zhan huffed. “He dared to be so violent toward Heaven Field cultivators. No matter who they are, we must make them pay for this. Otherwise, what will become of our reputation? Lan Sibai, lead the way.”

Lan Sibai was overjoyed. With Nie Zhan there, that human scholar and Dark Fool would definitely be dead! The gourd would probably fall into the hands of Nie Zhan, but he could take the opportunity to take over that pretty phoenix girl.

Earlier, that phoenix girl had almost hurt him with a strike and Lan Sibai still hated that. He’d have to make her beg for forgiveness later.

Thinking of this, Lan Sibai’s lips curled up in an evil smirk.

With Lan Sibai leading the way, Nie Zhan and Faceless led a dozen Saint Kings quickly toward the saint spring.

Zhang Ruochen was the first to enter the cave. The thick fragrance was almost liquid. When he breathed, his organs seemed to have been cleansed.

“Could there really be a 100-thousand-year-old medicine?” Zhang Ruochen’s heart pounded.

The deeper he went, the wider the space. Divine light flowed on all the walls around him. Perhaps due to being under the divine Qi, the stone walls were harder than metal.

Mu Lingxi was confused. “Was this cave made naturally or is it man-made?”

Slam!

Zhang Ruochen hit the wall with his sword.

A three-foot-deep gash appeared on the wall. Then purple Qi flowed out of the gash and it disappeared quickly.

“It can heal itself.”

Xiang Chunan pursed his thick lips, growing cautious. This cave felt too strange. They might run into unpredictable danger.

The cave was filled with purple, red, and blue haze that kept growing heavier.

The thick haze could block a cultivator’s vision and Spiritual Power. Even with Zhang Ruochen’s Heavenly Eye, he could only see smoke before him.

The more this was so, the more possible danger was.

Just then, Xiang Chunan cried out behind him. “Saint medicine! Ten-thousand-year-old medicine!”

Then the Dark Fool rushed past Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingxi.

“Is his Thousand-Mile Vision that amazing?”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t see a bit of saint medicine, but he trusted Xiang Chunan’s eyes, so he also sped up and followed him.

In the front, the cave grew wider until it was more than 50 meters wide. A lot of purple, red, and blue specks of light shimmered in the fog.

Each speck was a saint medicine.

Xiang Chunan kept howling in ecstasy. “This is such a paradise! Brother Ruochen, Sister-in-law, hurry and start picking! We hit a fortune this time!”

Xiang Chunan turned around and was shocked. He saw that 64 Zhang Ruochens had appeared in the cave and were picking the medicine crazily.

“You can use Spiritual Power clones to pick medicine. This isn’t fair.”

Xiang Chunan was sweating from anxiety. He hurriedly went to pick the medicine, afraid that he would be slower than Zhang Ruochen. However, his two hands couldn’t compete with 128 hands. Zhang Ruochen was way too fast for him.

“Don’t worry,” Zhang Ruochen said. “The three of us will share the medicine from the cave equally.”

Hearing this, Xiang Chunan was overjoyed. “Brother Ruochen, you’re a great brother. This is what ‘sharing troubles and joys’ means.”

Mu Lingxi didn’t pick the medicine. Instead, she stood on the side and pressed her ear to the stone wall. Suddenly, her expression changed drastically. “A large group of cultivators entered the cave and are hurrying over.”

Xiang Chunan picked up his metal hammer and yelled, “So many people who don’t want their lives. I’ll go crush them.”

Zhang Ruochen was picking the medicine. Frowning, he said, “Come back. Earlier, the three of us easily defeated five Saint Kings of Heaven Field. Regular cultivators wouldn’t dare to come in. I believe the ones who entered are most likely top figures of Heaven Field invited by Lan Sibai.”

Heaven Field and their supporting fields were filled with strong figures. No matter how strong Xiang Chunan was, he couldn’t fight an entire group by himself.

“Okay, I’ll let them go for now.”

Xiang Chunan’s muscles swelled and shone with black light. He swung his metal hammer onto the stone wall and actually made the sturdy stone collapse. He quickly blocked the tunnel.

Seeing this, Zhang Ruochen was stunned. This Dark Fool’s power is a bit crazy. I underestimated him earlier.

Mu Lingxi’s brows creased. “Brother Xiang, if you blocked the tunnel, how will we get out?”

“Huh?”

Xiang Chunan froze. Clearly, he didn’t even think about this problem.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen’s voice traveled into their ears with shock and joy. “There really is 100-thousand-year-old medicine.”
