Mythical Cultivation

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Zhou Ling's mouth curled up slightly, and he secretly thought about his next move.

He took a deep breath, then his expression tightened and he instantly activated his powerful spiritual sense.

In an instant, there was a crisp "clang" sound, and the sharp sword that had been slung across his side suddenly unsheathed like a flash of lightning! Under the cold moonlight, the sword body drew a silver-white light in the air, and rushed towards the target with a sharp sword energy and endless murderous intent.

In just a few breaths, the long sword crossed a distance of nearly two hundred meters like a ghost and appeared silently beside the two sentries.

At this moment, the two secret sentries just noticed something was wrong, but it was too late.

Their eyes were wide open, their faces filled with terror, and they tried their best to send a signal before they died to inform their companions on the mountain that an enemy was attacking.

However, how could Zhou Ling let them do what they wanted? Just as the two were about to make a move, Zhou Ling's long sword danced like a spirit snake and quickly wrapped around their necks.

Then, accompanied by two slight muffled thuds, two massive heads tumbled down from the tree like ripe fruit. Scarlet blood gushed out, splattering the surrounding vegetation and emitting a strong, pungent smell of blood.

It must be said that these two secret guards were chosen to be on guard duty here, so their strength must be extraordinary. They were both fierce bandits who had cultivated to perfection in the Body Refining Realm and achieved the state of Vajra Indestructibility. Under normal circumstances, even facing a powerful enemy, they would not be unable to send a distress signal.

Unfortunately, Zhou Ling is a top master in the realm of driving objects. His spiritual power to drive objects is not only incredibly fast, but he can also launch a surprise attack under the cover of the inky black night.

As a result, the two secret sentries had no power to fight back at all, and they didn't even have time to perform a simple action like sending a signal before they died.

From this, it can be seen that the terrifying strength of this master in the realm of driving objects is truly frightening.

After successfully getting rid of the two men, Zhou Ling waved his hand casually, and he and Wu Ming rushed up the mountain along the winding path silently like ghosts.

The remaining four people quickly and skillfully hid the bodies of the two sentries and quietly hid in the place where the sentries were originally located.

At that moment, the mountain was completely silent, as if everything in the world had fallen into a deep sleep. The stillness was so intense that it made one's heart palpitate. Under the sparse, scattered starlight, Zhou Ling and Wu Ming flew past at lightning speed, clinging closely to the treetops.

They moved forward along the winding bluestone path, being extremely cautious and not daring to be careless for fear of being discovered by other sentries hiding in the dark.

Strangely enough, the defenses on this mountain seemed unusually weak. Perhaps it was because the bandits in Black Dragon Village were too arrogant, convinced that they were incredibly powerful and that no one around them could pose a threat.

Or for other unknown reasons, in short, they only arranged two secret sentries at the foot of the mountain.

Wu Ming and the other two, who were completely unaware of this, were secretly glad that their trip had gone so smoothly. However, they had no idea that the Black Dragon Village's power had already infiltrated the entire Blackwater Town at the foot of the mountain.

In that seemingly peaceful and tranquil town, there are spies from the Black Dragon Village lurking everywhere, and these spies are closely monitoring everyone coming and going in the town at all times.

As soon as they spotted a cultivator with ill intentions entering the town, the town's undercover agents would react quickly. Well-trained and agile, they would immediately dispatch personnel to capture or kill the target once they had locked onto them.

This decisive and efficient response method has successfully identified the vast majority of people with ulterior motives, greatly reducing potential threats.

Because of this, they did not need to deploy too many secret sentries on the road leading to the mountain, so as to avoid unnecessary waste of manpower and material resources.

Just as Wu Ming and others were taking action, Qinglang, who was responsible for investigating the situation of Wu Ming and others, had actually already lurked in the inn in the town.

He waited quietly, hoping that when night fell and Wu Ming and his group fell into a deep sleep, it would be time for him to take action.

However, as time passed, the night grew darker, and the second watch was about to end, but the lights in the room where Wu Ming and others lived were still on, showing no signs of being extinguished.

Qinglang hid in the dark, his heart burning with anxiety, cursing in his heart: "These guys, they are not sleeping in the middle of the night, they must have some hidden secrets!"

Finally, after a long wait, the sound of the night watch could be heard. At that moment, Wu Ming and the others left the room, extinguishing the lights. Seeing this, Qinglang, who had been waiting patiently, felt a glimmer of hope.

However, he did not act rashly, but continued to wait patiently. After more than half an hour, Qinglang estimated that Wu Ming and the others should have fallen asleep, so he quietly gathered a few of his men and, taking advantage of the darkness, carefully approached Wu Ming and the others' residence.

However, when they tiptoed into the room and searched it carefully, they were surprised to find that there was no one inside!

"Boss, I've searched this place carefully, but there's not a single person!" One of the younger brothers hurriedly ran to Qinglang and reported.

Then, the other two brothers came running over breathlessly and shouted, "Boss, we've searched every corner, but there's really no one here!"

After hearing the three brothers' unanimous report, Qinglang's face instantly turned gloomy. He thought to himself that this situation was clearly not right, and it was completely beyond his original expectations and control.

At this moment, Qinglang's mind raced with thoughts. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that these people were not kind. Perhaps they had ulterior motives from the beginning, deliberately turning on the lights to create the illusion that someone was inside the house, thereby misleading everyone.

If these people were here to deal with the mountain stronghold, they would have already quietly crept up the mountain by now.

Thinking of this, Qinglang did not dare to delay any longer and ran towards the crow's location as fast as the wind. A moment later, he arrived in front of the crow.

The crow was standing there leisurely. Seeing Blue Wolf rushing over, a playful smile appeared on his face, and he said jokingly, "Hey, brother Blue Wolf, you are in such a hurry. Have you discovered some shocking secret?

"Tell me, brother, who are those mysterious figures? What is their purpose? Should we take decisive action to capture them, or turn a blind eye and let them do whatever they want?"
