Si Lei Zhenjun

After landing, Zhou Xian steadied himself, then randomly chose a direction and walked forward slowly.

After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, a dense bush appeared in front of us.

Zhou Xian reached out and pushed aside the dense branches and leaves, preparing to pass through and continue forward.

However, just as he stepped into the bushes, he suddenly felt as if he had stepped on something soft.

When I looked down, I saw a foot wearing a black boot.

Looking up slowly along the foot, what came into view was a man in a black robe and a hood.

The man was hidden under a dark hood, with only a pair of chilling eyes exposed, staring at him coldly.

Judging from his cultivation level, he is in the late stage of Spirit Refining, one small realm higher than him.

Zhou Xian didn't hesitate at all, and hurriedly smiled and bowed, saying:

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother, I didn't know anyone was here."

"Get out of here! Don't force me to beat you!"

"Yes, yes, I'll go now!" Zhou Xian said as he walked out of the bushes.

Cursing his bad luck in his heart, he walked around the bushes and moved forward a short distance.

Soon, Zhou Xian's eyes locked on a tree hole near the crown of a towering tree, the entrance of which happened to be facing the direction of the cave.

Without thinking much, he flew to the entrance of the cave and crawled in sideways.

But before I got halfway through, I felt like I had touched something soft, and then I heard a polite yet slightly resentful male voice:

"Brother, I was here first..."

Zhou Xian's body stiffened. With the lessons learned from the previous two times, he blurted out subconsciously:

"Sorry, I'm just..."

When he saw that there was only a young man in a blood-red robe in the Nascent Soul Realm, his face suddenly darkened:

"This position is mine now, do you have any objection?"

"I dare not. I'm going out now."

Li Yan hurriedly smiled apologetically and crawled out of the cave.

However, the entrance to the cave was not big, and half of Zhou Xian's body had not yet entered, while Li Yan got stuck after only half of his body came out.

"Brother, can you please lift my stomach? I can't get out!" Li Yan felt like crying but had no tears.

Zhou Xian's forehead was covered with a few dark lines, and he tucked in his stomach a little:

"Okay, hurry up!"

Li Yan tried to move out again.

Then, the two of them were completely stuck at the entrance of the cave.

Zhou Xian's face turned completely dark, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes as he looked at Li Yan approaching.

Can't be angry, can't be angry...

This is in a sect. If you kill someone, you will be investigated. There is no benefit and it is not worth it.

Zhou Xian repeatedly warned himself in his heart and took two deep breaths before his anger subsided a little.

He took out a blood-red sickle-shaped magic weapon and was about to chop the tree trunk when Li Yan raised his hand to stop him:

"Brother, no."

"Why?"

Li Yan moved closer to Zhou Xian and said in a low voice:

"There's a senior brother who has reached the perfection of Spirit Refining above us. If you cut down the tree like this, it might anger him."

Zhou Xian extended his spiritual sense to explore the treetops and found that it was just as the other party said. He then quietly used the end of the blood sickle to gently chisel the trunk of the tree at the edge of the tree hole.

The two fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Li Yan noticed that the atmosphere was a little awkward, looked at Zhou Xian with a smile and asked:

"Brother, are you here to steal spirit stones and treasures too?"

Zhou Xian's heart tightened when he heard this, but his face quickly regained its composure. He pretended to be calm and shook his head slightly:

"No, just out for a stroll."

Li Yan looked disapproving, as if he had already seen through everything, and chuckled:

"Brother, why are you afraid to admit this? We all have the same goal."

Zhou Xian glanced at him and said angrily:

"What do you mean by the same? I already said I just came out to bask in the moonlight, nothing else!"

"Brother, what's there to be afraid of when robbing a mere Jindan cultivator? Look, I'm not even wearing a mask."

Li Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled mysteriously, and stretched out his hands to point in various directions:

"And we're not the only ones here. Look! There's three hiding in that big tree on the right, one hiding in the crevice of that big rock on the left, and two more lying in the grass next to the rock."

"I reckon this woods are full of people hiding everywhere."

Zhou Xian released his spiritual sense and scanned the direction of his finger one by one. He then explored the surroundings and found that there were indeed many cultivators hiding, all of them holding their breath and waiting for an opportunity to move.

"The Jindan cultivator you mentioned is wearing a fox fur coat?"

Zhou Xian vaguely sensed that something was wrong, frowned and looked at Li Yan and asked.

"Yes, that's what I heard." Li Yan nodded.

"what news?"

"Didn't Senior Brother come here just because he heard the news?"

"Don't talk nonsense, just tell me when I ask you."

Li Yan hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly:

"In the afternoon, a female cultivator at the Golden Core stage spread the word throughout the White Bone Palace, claiming that half a month ago, while she and her husband were out, they stumbled upon the remains of a small sect.

Inside, you will find a large number of storage bags, hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, and many spiritual medicines and precious materials.

In order to keep all the property for himself, her husband attacked her when she was not prepared and seriously injured her. He was even going to kill her. Fortunately, she used the Hundred Miles Moving Talisman to escape the disaster. She recuperated for half a month before returning to the sect.

And her husband has been selling those storage bags in front of the cave these days."

"Later, someone spread the news that there was indeed a Jindan cultivator wearing a fox fur coat in front of the cave, stealthily selling storage bags. This news was echoed by many people."

After listening to Li Yan's story, Zhou Xian's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

I didn't know the boy's identity, so I thought of stealing his storage bag, and then he blackmailed me for all my belongings.

These people didn't know the boy's identity and were tempted by the spiritual stones and treasures and wanted to rob him.

How similar!

Thinking of this, Zhou Xian suddenly sped up his movements and looked at Li Yan coldly and said:

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you help chisel it?"

"Brother, it's late at night now. I guess that person will be here soon. Let's just stay here for a while. When that person shows up, the brother above will naturally leave. Then we can just cut down the tree. Why go to so much trouble?"

Li Yan took out a bloody dagger and began to chisel reluctantly.

Zhou Xian snorted coldly:

"Humph, if we wait until he shows up we won't be able to leave!"

"Why?"

"Don't ask so many questions. If you don't want to lose your pants, just be quick!"

A quarter of an hour later, Zhou Xian crawled out of the tree hole, and without even looking at Li Yan, he rushed towards the edge of the Black Wind Forest.

"Why would you become a demon cultivator if you are so timid? I wonder how you managed to reach the Spirit Refining Realm."

Li Yan sneered at the other person's departing back, then went back into the tree hole again.
