"Senior Black Wind, that is where the Old Ancestor's treasure is hidden." Two middle-aged men were talking in the dark light, accompanied by a giggling, silly-looking youth.
It was none other than the middle-aged Confucian scholar of the Ye family and the black-faced Black Wind Hermit.
Black Wind Hermit glanced at the Tianchi pool on the mountain top ahead, revealing a hint of joy.
Originally, he would never have come to such a desolate place. If it weren't for the guidance of these two Ye family cultivators, he would never have thought that Old Ancestor Feng Huo would have placed his secret treasure trove in such a place.
Black Wind Hermit controlled the black light and landed beside the Tianchi pool on the mountain top in an instant.
"Are you sure the treasure is at the bottom of this water?"
"Yes, Senior, this little fellow told me about the treasure trove hidden by the Old Ancestor when he defected to me. However, he doesn't know any details, only that the location is here. His elder brother knows the most details, but that kid escaped before you arrived, otherwise, I would have captured him and interrogated him about this matter."
"You cultivation families are always troublesome, having treasures but not keeping them within the family, hiding them outside. It's such a waste of time." Black Wind Hermit looked around, not finding any danger.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar of the Ye family could only force a smile and dared not express any dissatisfaction upon hearing this. In his heart, he cursed incessantly, thinking that this old monster was really cunning.
If all the treasures were kept within the family, the Ye family would probably have been looted long ago. At the same time, he felt bitter in his heart. The Old Ancestor passed away silently, without even giving any instructions for his funeral. This led outsiders to covet and internal strife within the family.
He also felt quite regretful in his heart. Although he had obtained the position of the head of the family, he had not even enjoyed the resources accumulated by the family before the Ye family reached a critical moment of life and death.
If he had listened to those direct line elders earlier and directly abandoned Dafeng City, the entire Ye family could have hidden for a period of time, perhaps relying on other forces, perhaps they could have avoided so many crises.
But it was too late to say anything now. The survival of the Ye family was now in the hands of this old monster.
"Take good care of this kid, we'll go down. As long as I obtain that ancient treasure, I will naturally protect your Ye family."
"As long as Senior is willing to protect the Ye family, the Ye family will be Senior's power from now on. If Senior needs any treasures or resources, you can order us to do it. The Ye family can collect them for Senior." The middle-aged Confucian scholar said flattering words against his will.
These words were also to prove that their Ye family was still useful, so as to prevent Black Wind Hermit from directly destroying them afterward.
Black Wind Hermit glanced at the middle-aged Confucian scholar and gave a strange smile. He waved his sleeve, and a black wind swept around him, dragging them into the bottom of the water.
What they didn't notice was that behind a large rock in the distance, a pair of eyes were coldly watching all of this. It was Xuan Turtle controlled by the second soul.
Under the induction of the mind, he constantly sensed the state of the main soul.
At this moment, Zhang Ling was wearing the Invisible Spirit Gauze and using the Earth Escape Technique to travel through the earth and rocks at the bottom of the water. Using the Earth Escape Technique to move forward has a high probability of directly avoiding the Nascent Soul cultivator who has already come down.
It's just that the earth and rocks nearby are all hard rocks, and the Earth Escape Technique is very slow in this environment. If he could master the Metal Escape Technique among the Five Elements Escape Techniques, it would be very suitable for this environment.
The Metal Escape Technique is the most difficult to master among the Five Elements Escape Techniques. It is said that when cultivation reaches great success, one can shrink the ground into inches and turn into golden light. It is the most mysterious escape technique. However, it is said that only cultivators with the Metal spiritual root of the Heavenly spiritual root can successfully cultivate it.
Even if he has the relevant secret techniques, he is afraid that he will not be able to cultivate it successfully.
Zhang Ling was both depressed and helpless, wishing he could sacrifice a magic weapon and directly blast a hole in this mountain to escape. But in order to hide his figure, he could only sneak forward slowly like this.
His body was covered with a layer of yellow light, like a swimming fish traveling through the earth and rocks. It seemed like the speed was not slow, but to a Nascent Soul cultivator, it was like a turtle crawling.
After traveling for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Zhang Ling's figure shook, and he jumped out of the yellow light. "Finally out." He looked around and found that he had not escaped far, and behind him was the mountain peak he had just been in.
He patted the dust off his body, immediately used the escape light, soared into the air and flew towards the distance. At the same time, he sensed Xuan Turtle with his mind, so that the second soul would also come together.
Now, naturally, he had to leave this place first.
Within a few breaths, Zhang Ling flew to the horizon, and Xuan Turtle also flew up to follow. He was just about to directly put away Xuan Turtle and cover himself with the Illusionary Mud, adding a layer of hidden protection.
But, with a loud booming sound, a deafening roar came from behind. This sound was like thunder, resounding through the heavens and the earth.
Scanning backward with his divine sense, he immediately discovered that the mountain peak where the Ye family's treasure trove was located had exploded.
The booming and rumbling sounds continued, and countless earth and rocks splashed. A large hole was blasted out in the mountainside, and countless streams of water splashed, instantly forming several waterfalls, and half of the entire mountain collapsed.
"Who robbed the treasure?"
An angry roar came, and a large mass of black mist flew out of the collapsed mountainside, floating into the sky like dark clouds.
"Not good." Zhang Ling cried out in his heart. Immediately, a force of divine sense swept over his body.
Although this divine sense did not seem to have discovered him, he was now only wearing a thin layer of Invisible Spirit Gauze. Moreover, at this moment, he was flying fast, and the hiding effect of the Invisible Spirit Gauze would be greatly reduced.
Sure enough, the divine sense that had just swept past suddenly turned back and scanned in his direction.
Zhang Ling knew that he had been exposed and originally wanted to avoid trouble. He did not expect that this suddenly appearing Nascent Soul old monster would act so quickly.
He had just escaped, and this person followed closely. His furious expression clearly showed that he had discovered that the Ye family's treasure trove was empty.
The black clouds rolled for a while and chased after him. "Who are you, why are you here?" An icy voice also came over.
Hearing this, Zhang Ling also stopped, put away the Invisible Spirit Gauze on his body. Since he had been exposed, this thing was useless. Sure enough, the Invisible Spirit Gauze still could not block the divine sense of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
He also expressionlessly glanced at the cultivator in the black cloud, who was a middle-aged man with a black aura covering his face and a fierce look, obviously not someone easy to get along with.
"Hmph, is fellow Daoist questioning me?" Zhang Ling naturally would not have a good face and also snorted coldly.
Although he did not want to be hostile to other Nascent Soul cultivators, he would not have much fear either.
Moreover, Xuan Turtle was now staying beside him. This black-faced cultivator did not look at the location of Xuan Turtle, obviously he had not yet discovered Xuan Turtle.
Zhang Ling was even less worried, the spiritual power in his body rotated, and he also burst out with a powerful aura.
Looking at this scene, Black Wind Hermit in the dark clouds looked uncertain. He suddenly discovered that this cultivator, who did not seem to be old, was actually a fellow cultivator of the same rank.
This was not strange, some cultivators practiced techniques that had the effect of preserving youth, or had taken elixirs such as the Appearance Preserving Pill, which could maintain their appearance unchanged, but in fact, they were already very old.
Faced with a fellow cultivator of the same rank, Black Wind Hermit did not dare to be careless. He was silent for a moment.
