336: Entering the cave
Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was startled.
"An Immortal Cave left by a Martial Saint Expert must contain many good things!"
"But, Senior Sister, aren't you coming in with us?"
Liu Ruyan smiled faintly and said softly, "The Righteous Path Alliance has a rule that only the five Eighth-Rank Sects from the Western Zhongzhou can send people in, and Sect Masters are not allowed to go."
"So this time, it's all up to you three."
Lu Xingchen nodded lightly and chuckled, "Since it's a requirement from the Righteous Path Alliance, there's nothing more to say. Senior Sister, don't worry, the three of us will definitely return with a full harvest."
Liu Ruyan nodded lightly, then looked at Li Changbai and said softly, "Li Changbai, among the three of you, you are the strongest and the most Senior. You'll lead the team this time!"
"No problem!" Li Changbai said with a smile.
"Since that's the case, you all go back and prepare. Three days from now, gather at the Mountain Gate, and I will take you to the Martial Saints Cave Mansion."
"As you command!" The three replied in unison.
Three days passed quickly.
During these three days, Lu Xingchen explained a lot of Archery Skill and Soul Cultivation knowledge to Mu Ruxue.
It was uncertain how long this trip to the Martial Saints Cave Mansion would last, so it was better to give her more things to do!
Three days later, at the Lingyun Sect's Mountain Gate, the four Personal Disciples of Jiang Taishen gathered.
The four then unfurled their Dou Qi Wings and flew towards the depths of the Wangshu Mountain Range.
After an hour and a half of flying, the four landed on a mountain peak.
There, experts from the other four Eighth-Rank Sects had already been waiting for a long time.
Li Chuang, the Sect Master of Qingnang Sect, was the first to greet Liu Ruyan.
"Sect Master Liu, it's truly been a long time!"
Liu Ruyan chuckled, "Indeed, the last time we met was the last time."
Li Chuang said with a smile, "Although Sect Master Liu snatched the soul refining pill, it doesn't affect the relationship between our two Sects. Inside this Martial Saints Cave Mansion, the experts from our two Sects can still cooperate."
Liu Ruyan chuckled, "As long as Sect Master Li Chuang doesn't mind, we will definitely have another Opportunity to cooperate."
Lu Xingchen, who was following behind Liu Ruyan, frowned slightly.
Li Chuang seemed calm and composed, but it was truly unclear whether he held a grudge against Senior Sister.
In any case, no matter what, they would need to be wary of the Qingnang Sect's people inside that Martial Saints Cave Mansion.
Lin Junyi, on the other hand, showed no Face at all.
"Liu Ruyan, it's truly regrettable to see your Lingyun Sect barely clinging to existence until now."
Liu Ruyan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she said in a deep voice, "What's wrong? Lin Junyi, do you want to get beaten?"
Lin Junyi snorted coldly, "If it weren't for Jiang Taishen's Face, I would have annihilated your Lingyun Sect long ago. Liu Ruyan, Jiang Taishen and I are of the same generation. Can you speak to me with a little more respect?"
Liu Ruyan snorted coldly, "I have no respect to offer a dying person."
"Good, I hope the people from your Lingyun Sect who enter the Martial Saints Cave Mansion this time can come out alive!"
Both sides exchanged harsh words, then returned to their respective positions.
The people from the five great Sects who intended to enter the Martial Saints Cave Mansion stepped forward.
On the Lingyun Sect's side were Lu Xingchen, Li Changbai, and Xu Qing.
On the Qingnang Sect's side were the two old men, who were the two Eighth-Grade Alchemists who had made a move last time.
Although their Realm was only Two-Star Martial Venerable, both of them were Spirit Realm Great Perfection Experts.
On the Yinkui Sect's side were three middle-aged men, one Five-Star Martial Venerable and two Four-star Martial Venerables.
On the Chiyan Sect's side were Li Zong and another Four-star Martial Venerable.
On the Liang Yi Sect's side were Li Fa and another Three-Star Martial Venerable.
Once everyone was present, the five Sect Masters simultaneously raised their right hands, and streams of pure Dou Qi surged from their palms, then converged and shattered the Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation protecting the Immortal Cave.
All five Sect Masters present possessed the combat power of high-star Martial Venerable, and working together, shattering an Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation was very easy.
A stone door appeared before everyone.
Li Chuang said with a smile, "Since the entrance has appeared, everyone, please hurry and go in! I hope you all have some gains."
The two Grand Elders of the Qingnang Sect were the first to step forward, opening the stone door, and then the two transformed into streaks of light, disappearing from their original spot.
Lu Xingchen and the other two also followed closely.
Li Changbai held Lu Xingchen's left hand and Xu Qing's right hand, and followed them into the stone door.
After all, this Immortal Cave was left by a Martial Saint Expert; there would be no shortage of treasures inside, but there would also certainly be many mechanisms and defenses.
It was still safer to go together as much as possible.
A white light flashed before his eyes, and after a dizzying sensation, he fell to the ground again.
The three of them were still holding hands, not separated.
Lu Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed this Martial Saint Expert was still kind-hearted and didn't employ random teleportation.
Lu Xingchen then looked around and found that the surroundings were a vast plain, and the two old men from the Qingnang Sect were already gone.
Li Changbai then released their hands and said with a smile, "It seems that the starting points for people from each Sect are different, but thankfully, the three of us are together. Since that's the case, let's walk forward together and see if we can find anything good!"
"As you command!" Lu Xingchen and Xu Qing said in unison.
The three flew forward for a quarter of an hour before leaving the plain.
But this was normal.
A Martial Venerable Expert could already control the power of space, and the Cave Mansion Owner, being a Martial Saint, would certainly be even more skilled in the application of spatial power.
This Immortal Cave was left specifically to provide Opportunity for future generations; otherwise, it would not be so complete.
He frequently used the power of space to create many independent spaces within the Immortal Cave, used to test latecomers and store treasures.
A quarter of an hour later, the three arrived at a huge pavilion.
From its appearance, it should be the Cave Mansion Owner's Library Pavilion.
And outside the Library Pavilion, there were also the two old men from the Qingnang Sect.
Seeing the three flying towards them, both old men were delighted and greeted them.
"This old man is Li Qian of the Qingnang Sect, and this is my Junior Brother, Wang Li. Greetings to the Fellow Daoists of the Lingyun Sect."
Li Changbai also bowed and said with a smile, "Li Changbai of the Lingyun Sect, this is my Junior Brother Lu Dazhuang, and Junior Sister Xu Qing. Greetings to the two Seniors. Since the Library Pavilion is already before us, why haven't the two of you entered?"
Li Qian said with a bitter smile, "It's not that simple. There are two Puppets guarding the outside of this Library Pavilion, both with the strength of a Five-Star Martial Venerable. Our Qingnang Sect specializes in Alchemy and has strong Soul Power, but unfortunately, we are not good at close combat."
"But your Lingyun Sect is different; you possess Word Spirit Power, which can convert Soul Power into spiritual power for combat. To defeat these two Puppets, you'll have to rely on yourselves!"
Li Changbai nodded slightly and chuckled, "Indeed, that's the case. Then Xu Qing and I will go together! The two Fellow Daoists from the Qingnang Sect wait here, and Junior Brother will provide support for us."
