After my Daoist partners broke off their engagement, they pledged their loyalty to me!

At this very moment, dozens of cultivators arrived at the tallest building closest to the Mountain and Water Pavilion.

After these people arrived, without saying a word, they used their spiritual power to attack the light shield outside the building.

As more and more cultivators arrived at the scene, their attacks caused energy ripples to appear on the light shield outside the building.

Swords flashed and shadows danced, crisscrossing the battlefield.

"Keep up the good work, everyone!"

"If we successfully shatter this energy ripple, we're sure to find the treasure we need inside!"

"Okay! Keep it up!"

"Let's work together to break this protective light shield. After it's broken, we'll have to rely on our own abilities to fight for the treasure."

"Don't worry, I know the rules."

Dozens of Qi Gathering Realm cultivators continued their attacks.

The reason is simply because the building has the three characters "Lingbaolou" on its top.

Lingbao Tower, as the name suggests, is a building that this sect used to store spiritual treasures.

Elixirs may decay and turn to ashes over time, but spiritual treasures can endure and withstand the test of time.

The protective light shield outside the Lingbao Tower should be a kind of protective spirit array. It only has protective capabilities, but even the strongest protective capabilities require power to maintain their operation.

Now, the energy of this protective spirit array is almost exhausted, which is why the entrance to the sect's ruins has been discovered.

Suddenly, upon hearing a crack, the frantically attacking crowd simultaneously stopped their assault and looked at the protective light shield.

The light shield is slowly dimming.

Energy ripples appeared on the light shield from time to time, making it look shaky and as if it would break at any moment.

Everyone knew that there was no need to intervene further.

Next, we just wait for the light barrier to shatter, then prepare to seize the spiritual treasures that are likely to exist inside the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion!

The people on site were divided into three groups.

Wangyue Sect, Feiyan Sect, and independent cultivators.

There is only one outer disciple of the Misty Holy Land!

Because the light shield could shatter at any moment, the atmosphere on the scene instantly became strange. At this moment, the people around could become enemies who would try to seize the spiritual treasure!

Therefore, everyone appeared to be doing normally.

In reality, he was secretly wary of others.

A cultivator at the Qi Gathering Realm is lucky if they can snatch a low-grade mortal-level spiritual treasure. If they can snatch a mid-grade mortal-level spiritual treasure, they will not only make a huge profit, but their strength will also increase significantly!

Among the crowd, Zhou Long was the only outer disciple of the Misty Holy Land present. This guy did not look down on others just because he was an outer disciple of the Misty Holy Land.

He even changed his clothes from those of an outer disciple of the Misty Holy Land to ordinary clothes, making him look like a rogue cultivator.

"A spiritual treasure! I must snatch one!" Zhou Long gritted his teeth, his eyes sinister.

Ever since Jiang Lin kicked his balls and crushed them, his voice has become much higher-pitched.

He had seen Jiang Lin participate in the trip to the ruins before, but he didn't approach him. Instead, he hid and paid a heavy price of two eggs, which made him realize that he couldn't afford to mess with Jiang Lin now.

But he was determined to make Jiang Lin pay for this humiliation!

Lingbao is hope!

He believed that if he could seize a powerful spiritual treasure, he could repay Jiang Lin for all the humiliation he had suffered.

He completely forgot that it was he who first sought trouble with Jiang Lin, which led to his current predicament.

Just as Zhou Long and the others were silently waiting for the light barrier to shatter, what no one noticed was that a figure was watching them from not far from Lingbao Tower.

"Lingbao Tower, huh? I thought it was some kind of fancy place." Jiang Lin, who had rushed over, curled his lip. He wasn't short of spiritual treasures.

However, the more Lingbao (spiritual treasures) the better.

It all depends on the grade of the spiritual treasure inside.

Thinking it over, he concealed himself.

At this moment, the protective array of Lingbao Tower could no longer withstand the strain and finally shattered after countless years.

"Click click click~"

Like a chain reaction, the shattered light shield caused the entire Lingbao Building to collapse with a roar, with a meter or two of broken walls rolling down from above. However, this had no impact on cultivators at the Qi Gathering Realm.

The eyes of dozens of cultivators began to turn red, an emotion called greed, everyone wanted to be the first to grab the good stuff!

But nobody wants to be the one to stick their neck out.

Everyone understands the saying, "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down."

But even if you understand, some people still can't resist.

Finally, someone let out a low growl: "What are you all waiting for? Grab the magical treasure! Whoever gets it first keeps it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, six or seven people rushed out at the same time.

The remaining people no longer hesitated.

They rushed towards the collapsed ruins of Lingbao Tower.

Soon someone successfully found the first magical treasure!

This is a shield-like spiritual treasure. The one who found this shield-like spiritual treasure was a male rogue cultivator in his thirties.

He gripped his shield, and before his smile could fully bloom, his teammate beside him smiled slightly and, without hesitation, pierced the man's heart with his dagger.

"Haha, this shield-like magical artifact is mine!"

This person was decisive. After taking a shield-shaped magical treasure, he didn't plan to linger. However, he wanted to retreat, but the others didn't want him to!

A female disciple of the Flying Swallow Sect let out a delicate shout, her long whip swirling like a venomous snake as she lashed out at the man at a tricky angle.

The man hadn't even had time to warm up his shield before it was entangled by a long whip.

The female disciple yanked hard, and the shield treasure slipped from the man's hand in an instant. Seeing that his shield treasure had been snatched away as soon as he got his hands on it, the male rogue cultivator did not hesitate at all. He formed a hand seal with his left hand and took out a talisman from his pocket with his right hand. He activated the talisman with a surge of spiritual power!

"Firelight Shatters the Stone Seal!"

"Fireball Talisman!"

Faced with the two counterattacks from the rogue cultivators, the female disciple of the Flying Swallow Sect did not panic. She stretched out her hand and activated the talisman!

First-tier protective talisman!

"boom!"

The power of the Shattered Stone Seal and the Fireball Talisman was blocked by the protective talisman, and the female disciple of the Flying Swallow Sect breathed a sigh of relief.

The male cultivator had a gloomy face. It seemed that he was not destined to have this shield-like spiritual treasure. He had to hurry up and find other spiritual treasures!

Zhang Zishuang breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness.

That male rogue cultivator was quite strong. It seems my cousin was right; even among rogue cultivators, there are those whose strength is no less than that of disciples from powerful sects.

She didn't even glance at the shield she had just acquired; she put it directly into her storage bag. Her cousin had told her to check on her gains outside.

No one died on Zhang Zishuang's side, but it was a different story elsewhere. Every now and then, you could hear screams and pleas for mercy.

The stench of blood permeated the area outside the collapsed Lingbao Building.

Crimson blood stained the broken walls and ruins.

Originally there were dozens of Qi Gathering Realm cultivators, but in the blink of an eye, less than half remained.

Those who are still alive are the ones who managed to snatch the magical treasure!

Zhou Long was among them.

He managed to snatch a mid-grade mortal-level spiritual treasure, which greatly increased his strength, and he was extremely excited at that moment!

With a mid-level mortal-grade spiritual treasure in hand, even someone at the ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm would be no match for him at the sixth level of the Qi Gathering Realm!

"Hmph!"

Zhou Long fast-forwarded in his mind to the scene where he met Jiang Lin and then successfully sought revenge on Jiang Lin.

Just then, a sharp arrow shot from a distance.

"Pfft!"

The arrow tip pierced Zhou Long's heart with ease.

It entered from behind, shot out from the chest, and finally, to Zhou Long's incredulous gaze, pierced a boulder.

The jet-black arrow cleaved the boulder in two.

Before his consciousness faded into permanent darkness, Zhou Long managed to turn himself around, muttering, "Who...is it..."

Unfortunately, he will never know who it was.

He could only fall down with his eyes open!
