One person established a clan

Chapter 189 Senior Su

Boom——!
The rock wall suddenly shattered, and amidst the flying debris, the demons surged into the cave like a tidal wave.

The zombies gathered there turned around at the sound, but before they could react, a mountain-sized python tail slammed down on them.

The cave suddenly trembled, and the dozens of wandering corpses were instantly smashed into pieces.

"Let's stop here for a while."

Shi Xuan's ethereal voice echoed in his mind: "The spiritual energy fluctuations here are quite extraordinary, and there must be some top-grade spiritual materials hidden here."

Su Cheng raised his hand to signal, and several illusory figures immediately scattered in all directions, carefully searching various parts of the cave.

The Nine-Bend Python skillfully transformed the corpses scattered on the ground into clumps of spiritual energy, which it then coiled and delivered to its master.

"Xuan'er's spiritual sense seems to be more acute than before?"

While absorbing spiritual energy, Su Cheng asked with great interest, "You can even sense rare and precious materials hidden hundreds of feet away?"

Shi Xuan smiled gently from inside the jade hairpin: "Thanks to your meticulous care, my soul power is naturally recovering day by day."

As she spoke, she subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, a hint of shyness appearing in her eyes.

That night, I was driven to the brink of ecstasy by that absurd supernatural power, and I almost cried out loud.

However, afterwards, not only was the soul deeply nourished, but the spirit also improved, so it wasn't a complete waste of the bullying.
[Absorption of pure spiritual energy: 20 years] [Seven-star profound energy: 5 years]

Just as Su Cheng finished absorbing the spiritual energy, he heard Flora whisper beside him:

"Uncle, there are cultivators following us from behind."

"Were they the people we met when we passed by earlier?"

“Hmm.” Flo turned her head to look at the dust-shrouded, broken tunnel. “They stopped two hundred feet away, perhaps afraid of causing a misunderstanding, and dared not make any rash moves.”

Su Cheng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you recognize their background?"

“It seems to be the Mingxiao Sect in the southern part of the Five Desolations.” Flora pondered for a moment: “However, this sect has long been in decline and is now barely maintaining its reputation.”

As she spoke, her eyes, hidden beneath the veil, narrowed slightly: "But what's strange is why only they are here."

Su Cheng pondered, "It seems that not only us, but others also encountered problems when entering the secret realm?"

"That's certainly possible."

Flora said softly, "Uncle, should we call them over and ask them what's going on?"

"No need." Su Cheng waved his hand: "All the forces entered the country together, but judging from their miserable appearance, they must have entered this place by mistake without knowing anything. Even if we question them, it will be a waste of breath."

"Too."

During the conversation, several illusory figures had already finished looting the cave and were returning one after another.

[Seven-Star Spirit Ore, Elixir-Grade Materials]

Looking at the four new glowing ores in the warehouse, Su Cheng nodded in satisfaction.

This place is not only rich in spiritual energy, but also contains hidden mystical energy, so you can probably find even more rare materials here.

After a moment's thought, Su Cheng glanced at the passageways of the grotto and ordered the fifteen illusory figures to be divided into five groups to explore different grottoes.

He simultaneously mounted his sword and led the demons onward.

This arrangement maximizes the scope of exploration, allowing for the discovery of rare materials while also enabling the collection of them at any time.

Even in emergencies, these scattered phantoms can serve as anchor points for the Xuan Tian Escape Technique, allowing for free movement in and out.

Boom——

The demonic tide surged once more, rushing and crushing into the distance.

Zhong Feixuan and his group hurriedly emerged from the tunnel, their expressions varying as they gazed at the churning black tide in the distance.

"Those terrifying demons are indeed being controlled and commanded by someone."

"Senior Brother, do you recognize that senior?"

A young cultivator couldn't help but ask, "To be able to control such a demon, one must be a figure renowned throughout the world."

"I have never seen that man."

Zhong Feixuan said with embarrassment, "I felt that his aura was unfathomable, even more terrifying than those demons."

"Hiss!" All the cultivators gasped inwardly. Could it be that some mysterious old monster, Lingxuan, had been reborn?
"Senior Brother, what should we do now?"

"Let's keep following them."

Zhong Feixuan clenched his fists, his tone growing increasingly somber as he said, "With that senior's cultivation level, he should have discovered our presence long ago. Since he didn't stop us, he must have tacitly allowed us to follow."

As for the rare and precious materials along the way
Everyone knew perfectly well that they were already incredibly lucky to have survived, so they dared not harbor any improper thoughts. "The Seven Star Secret Realm is fraught with danger, and our only option now is to rely on this senior."

Zhong Feixuan whispered, "Hurry up and catch up, don't fall too far behind."

"Alright!" All the cultivators responded immediately and flew after them.

"Zheng——!"

The sword light was like a rainbow, and the sword energy, like a bolt of lightning, crisscrossed between the grottoes.

Before the green iron corpse could react, its iron-hard remains were shattered into pieces and crashed to the ground.

The Dongling Sect members had just finished slaying the wandering corpses beside them when they heard the clear sound of a sword ringing out. They couldn't help but turn around and look at the tall figure standing on the pile of corpses, their eyes filled with undisguised amazement.

"As expected of a Xiao Clan cultivator, he was able to slay even the Azure Iron Corpse with a single sword strike."

After entering the secret realm, they became separated from other forces, but were fortunate to be helped by this Xiao clan cultivator.

It was thanks to its protection that we were able to overcome all obstacles and pass through several grottoes without any major incidents.

Witnessing the opponent's swordsmanship and profound techniques firsthand, one realizes that the foundation of a great clan in this era is indeed unbelievably strong!
"Fellow Daoist Yang." Soon someone spoke up: "Thank you for your help."

"Easy to do."

Yang Xun sheathed his sword and calmly turned around, saying, "You all might as well quickly search the cave and see if any treasures remain."

"Alright!" The crowd immediately scattered and searched carefully throughout the cave.

A middle-aged cultivator seemed to be deep in thought. After a moment of contemplation, he stepped forward and said, "Young cultivators as approachable as Fellow Daoist Yang are rare these days."

"You flatter me." Yang Xun said calmly, "The situation in the secret realm is still unclear. Rather than fighting alone, it would be better to travel together and help each other."

The middle-aged cultivator nodded repeatedly: "That's exactly right. However..."

Suddenly changing the subject, he tentatively asked, "I heard that the seniors of the Xiao Clan recently clashed with the Duotian Alliance. I wonder what the reason was?"

Yang Xun glanced at him: "The Heaven-Seizing Alliance harmed my people, and they should pay for it in blood."

"Oh?" The middle-aged cultivator looked slightly surprised. "Could you... explain in more detail?"

“Our clan received news that the Heaven-Seizing Alliance set up a trap a thousand years ago, specifically to kill cultivators of all races. Our clan’s Holy Son Nanfeng perished because of this.”

Yang Xun narrowed his eyes slightly: "Such a blood feud, how can my Xiao clan let it go?"

The middle-aged cultivator's expression gradually hardened: "This Heaven-Seizing Alliance is indeed treacherous!"

"You knew about this too?"

"The power of the Heaven-Seizing Alliance has expanded in recent years, and its actions have become increasingly rampant." The middle-aged cultivator said angrily, "Our sect's cultivators were also oppressed by them in the past. The other day, when we saw you fighting against the Heaven-Seizing Alliance, we wished we could go forward to help you."

Yang Xun seemed thoughtful: "It seems that there are quite a few who have grudges against the Alliance of Seizing Heaven."

As the two talked, the monks who had scattered throughout the cave quickly returned, and the two sides soon shared the spoils.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, the entrance is here."

"Please wait, everyone."

Seeing that the Dongling Sect members were about to enter the tunnel, Yang Xun hurriedly stopped them. "This place is protected by hidden restrictions; it may be dangerous to enter rashly."

Having said that, he pointed his fingers like a sword and struck several mysterious seals into the dark tunnel.

The Dongling Sect members around him watched in amazement, and even the middle-aged cultivator couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Yang to be so proficient in array restrictions!"

"I've only dabbled in it a little."

Receiving repeated praise, Yang Xun's lips curled up slightly. "My Xiao clan has been prosperous for a thousand years, producing many outstanding talents. I am but an ordinary person among them, and I am far inferior to the current holy son of the clan."

He activated the final array seal and chuckled, "The restriction is lifted, let's go in—"

Before he could finish speaking, a terrifying gale burst forth from the depths of the tunnel!

Yang Xun's expression changed drastically. Caught off guard, he was forced back several steps, his eyes filled with horror.

The Dongling Sect members behind them cried out in alarm, as they were thrown more than ten feet away by the shockwave and nearly fell to the ground.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, what's going on?!"

Feeling the cave tremble violently, the middle-aged cultivator crossed his arms in front of him and asked urgently, "Could it be that the restrictions have changed?!"

"wrong!"

Yang Xun's clothes and hair danced wildly in the wind as he exclaimed in astonishment, "This is a force clashing with a massive army of wandering corpses!"

Such terrifying fluctuations of spiritual energy—which immortal sect or clan is going all out to fight back?!
