Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 97 has another secret
Li Yunjing clearly saw the emotional changes of the three burly men!

"Did we really miss something?"

"Steward Li, the Fu family has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and two top experts have entered the cave. Is there anything that can be hidden from their divine sense?"

Li Yunjing thought to himself, if it were Steward Li, the Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Fu family hadn't checked the things inside the cave, Li Yunjing would never believe it even if he were beaten to death!

"Kill this man! Let's go back and get our things!"

The burly man gave another order, and the other two laughed strangely. Two black spears, filled with intense killing intent, were thrust at Li Yunjing's body!
The burly man himself held a dark longsword in his hand. With a flash of light, he met Li Yunjing's attack head-on and deflected it!

With a loud "boom," Li Yunjing's weapon collided with his opponent's. The burly man remained unmoved, while Li Yunjing took three steps back, clearly having suffered a slight loss in strength.

Furthermore, the opponent's longsword seemed somewhat strange, causing Li Yunjing's blood to surge and making him extremely uncomfortable.

"Good lad! You're pretty good!"

The burly man was shocked, not expecting that his attack had only managed to push his opponent back!

In the burly man's mind, this attack would surely leave the opponent severely injured, and then the two experts beside him, one on the left and one on the right, would each attack with a black spear, and they would surely be able to kill this outer disciple of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" in an instant!
The result was completely different from what he had expected!
Is an outer disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" really that powerful?

This seems somewhat different from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" disciple he killed in the forest!

"Hehe! You guys hid treasures in the cave? But don't even think about it. Someone already went in and searched it, but they found nothing. I was just unlucky and wasted my time."

Li Yunjing suppressed his surprise and retreated to the cave entrance. He tentatively asked.

"What? Other people went in?"

The burly man was startled, and his movements slowed down for a moment.

"Big brother! Don't let this kid scare you!"

"The place where we hid our treasure is extremely well-hidden; even a Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't be able to find it!"

"Let's kill this man quickly and escape with the treasure! If that Young Master Si retreats, we'll all be killed by the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'!"

The man on the left let out a cold shout, and with his spear still in the air, he slammed it down toward Li Yunjing's chest!

"Whoosh!"

On the other side, their companion, another person, also aimed a spear at Li Yunjing's forehead!

The two were ruthless and incredibly fast!

The spearheads were like venomous snakes flicking their tongues, dazzling Li Yunjing and forcing him to continue retreating deeper into the cave!
"That's right! They have no way of knowing our secret!"

Upon hearing this, the burly man's spirits lifted, and he gained great confidence in the location of his hidden treasure!

Once he calmed down, the burly leader began slashing at Li Yunjing with his sword.

Its speed and power were so great that it created a whooshing sound, forcing Li Yunjing to retreat repeatedly, unable to resist.

"Is there really still a secret?"

While dealing with the enemy's attacks, Li Yunjing was secretly alarmed.

He didn't intend to call back Fu Chao and Manager Li.

These three enemies are not weak, but they are not necessarily impossible to kill. In Li Yunjing's view, all Qi Refining Realm cultivators are still Qi Refining Realm cultivators!

There is a possibility of killing a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage!

A madman like Li Yunjing is prepared to risk everything when faced with a potential treasure!

He has many more tricks up his sleeve; I don't believe he can't outmaneuver them!

Besides, if there's really no other way, he can still call Fu Chao and the others in time!

Having figured this out, Li Yunjing continued to retreat into the passage while parrying the opponent's attacks.

With the "Swift Boots" activated, Li Yunjing's speed reached its limit, and he quickly entered the passage on the left.

"Stop! Don't chase them! The people from the Divine Firmament Dao Sect will be here soon! Let's go to the other side!"

Seeing Li Yunjing escape, the three were somewhat disappointed. The big man sighed and ordered the two beside him to head towards the passage on the right!

Seeing this, Li Yunjing realized that they were not chasing him, and he knew that the secret hiding place was the passage on the right!

This made him stop immediately, rush out of the passage, and enter the right side to continue following the three burly men.

Li Yunjing's divine sense was incredibly powerful, tracking the three people from afar without making a sound.

The passage on the right was incredibly deep, rushing for a full ten miles before a fork in the road appeared in front of Li Yunjing.

This area splits into two passages again.

"I never imagined this place was so deep!"

Li Yunjing was slightly surprised, but quickly entered the passage on the right and continued to hang behind the three of them.

Before long, a cool breeze swept over us.

Inside the cave, the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees Celsius.

Li Yunjing rushed forward a few steps, only to find that there was no road ahead and he seemed to have come to a cliff.

"What a wonderful illusion array!"

Following the records in the "Array Diagram Record", Li Yunjing examined it and probed it with his spiritual sense. Instantly, the entire cave became clear at a glance.

The bottom of the cave is very large, and the stone walls are incredibly cool, even covered with some ice crystals.

At the far end of the cave, in a corner, there was a pool of water. The pool was pitch black, and gusts of cold air emanated from it.

It was because of this pool that the temperature in the vicinity suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees.

Having seen through the illusion, Li Yunjing smiled.

The three burly men disappeared right here. There seems to be some kind of mystery in this pool.

Did they hide the treasure underwater?

The pool is very deep and contains many aquatic animals.

Li Yunjing took a quick look around and, with his eyesight, he couldn't see the end at all; it was at least a thousand feet deep.

It was precisely because of its depth that Li Yunjing could see a dark, eerie light reflected on the surface of the pool.

This pool of water is definitely not ordinary clear water; it seems to have some kind of corrosive effect, which greatly restricts one's spiritual sense.

This is indeed a great place to hide things!

Steward Li, the Fu family's Foundation Establishment cultivators considered themselves superior and somewhat looked down on Tribulation Cultivators, which is why they missed this place!

Li Yunjing secretly warned himself that he should be more careful in the future and not make the same mistakes as them!
"Hehe! No matter what's down there! I'll stay here and wait for them to come up!"

At this moment, Li Yunjing made his move, setting up the enhanced "Spirit Gathering Array" by the pool.

Instead of using the spirit stones to gather spiritual energy, Li Yunjing activated the illusion array effect on the "Spirit Gathering Array".

The area around the pool was once again shrouded in mist.

Li Yunjing's aura was extremely low, suppressed to the extreme.

In his hand, there were more than a dozen talismans, and in his right hand, the "Frost Star Sword" was ready to unleash a powerful attack at any moment!
As he prepared to deliver the fatal blow, Li Yunjing emptied his mind, feeling neither sorrow nor joy, and emanating no killing intent whatsoever!
Such concealment techniques are enough to amaze countless cultivators of the same level in the Qi Refining Realm.

"Crash!"

Fifteen minutes later, the water in the pool boiled, as if something was about to emerge.

"Ah! Ah!"

The next moment, water gushed up, and two screams came from the water.

Li Yunjing was startled. What had happened?
"you……"

Immediately afterwards, the sword light suddenly intensified on the water's surface, and the two spears that had just emerged were knocked away.

An even louder sound rang out, and Li Yunjing was so startled by this scene that he was slightly dazed.

The next moment, he realized that the three of them had started fighting amongst themselves!
Without time to think, he remained fully alert, waiting for the victor among the three to emerge completely from the pool.

The situation has changed, and Li Yunjing's plans have been revised, making the situation much more favorable to him!
Maybe it doesn't have to be risking your life!
"I'm so sorry, brothers!"

"It's not that I'm being disloyal as the eldest brother! Our foundation is already destroyed. If I don't escape with the treasure, I probably won't even have a chance to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

The burly man's voice came from underwater.

At the same time, sword energy continuously flew out of the water and shot against the surrounding walls.

"You shameless scoundrel!"

"You have to die!"

The other two cursed angrily, but their voices were much weaker than before.

Clearly, the two men were ambushed by the burly leader and suffered serious injuries.

"Crash!"

Before long, the underwater undercurrents weakened considerably, and the sword energy disappeared, shooting out.

After a while, the pool water parted, and a large head emerged from the water—it was the burly leader!
God-given opportunity!

"laugh!"

Li Yunjing made his move. Holding the "Cold Star Sword," he descended to the center of the pool like a god. With a swift movement, the sword aura, like a rainbow, was already aimed at the strong man's head!

"Huh? Kid, it's you? You trying to ambush me?"

A look of surprise appeared on the burly man's face, but in the next instant, all his panic vanished. He laughed loudly and said, "I, Xianyu Zhengshou, have roamed the world and seen all kinds of storms. You think you can ambush me?"

Before the man finished speaking, he raised his hand and a sword flew out from the water. With a whoosh, it blocked Li Yunjing's "Cold Star Sword". With a "clang", the two swords clashed together again.

Li Yunjing's tiger's mouth went numb, and the "Cold Star Sword" was no match for the opponent, and a gap appeared in it!
The burly man's longsword was clearly a top-grade magic weapon, surpassing the level of Li Yunjing's magic weapon!
"kill!"

The burly man leaped out of the water, his long sword swirling like a dragon in his hand as he continued to slash at Li Yunjing!

At the same time, a black shield appeared on the man's left hand without his knowledge.

Li Yunjing exchanged several blows with him, but each attack was blocked by the man's shield, preventing him from getting hurt.

"Your name is Xianyu Zhengshou? I admit you're powerful, but you can't possibly kill me. How about you split the treasure in half with me, and I'll let you leave?"

Li Yunjing remained calm and hovered around the man, then said, "Think about it, the 'Black Winged Centipede' has already dispersed, and my fellow disciples will be coming in soon. Perhaps they are already exploring this cave. If you don't get away now, you'll miss your chance!"

Upon hearing Li Yunjing's words, Xianyu Zhengshou was furious. This disciple of the Shenxiao Dao Sect was truly shameless!

He roared, "Is this the style of your prestigious sect? If you don't dare to confront me head-on, then get out of here! If you force me to use my ultimate move, you'll die a horrible death!"

Unleash your ultimate move?
If you had any special tricks up your sleeve, I would have been dead long ago!
Li Yunjing smiled disdainfully and said, "You really don't know what's good for you! Since that's the case, I'll fight you for half an hour and see! I don't believe you have any trump card!"

Even so, Li Yunjing moved and was already three zhang away from Xianyu Zhengshou!

"Shameless!"

Xianyu Zhengshou was furious, but Li Yunjing had "Swift Wind Boots," and his figure flashed around him at incredible speed, even surpassing Xianyu Zhengshou's level nine Qi Refining Realm.

Even when he managed to corner Li Yunjing, he couldn't deliver a fatal blow.

After blocking one attack, Li Yunjing continued to harass him, determined not to give him a chance to break through.

Under these circumstances, Xianyu Zhengshou became increasingly anxious. Just as Li Yunjing had said, there were still so many "Shenxiao Daozong" disciples outside. If one of them suddenly appeared, his situation would be dangerous.
