Fairy bestows immortality

The two concealed their presence and, after about ten minutes, finally crossed the cave horizontally. They then hid in the grass outside the cave entrance and saw the outside world.

Ahead, numerous buildings stood out starkly amidst the mountains, appearing out of nowhere and contrasting sharply with the surrounding wasteland.

Moreover, they are scattered in patches, with some ruins stretching for several kilometers, while others are small ruins only a few dozen meters long.

These are all the result of geological movement and cutting, splitting into many parts.

Inside, there were far fewer cultivators than outside.

However, they were all elite soldiers, whose strength far surpassed that of the cultivators outside!

Su Yun glanced around and could see some shadowy figures of cultivators ahead, their auras all at least at the fourth level of the Qi Sea realm.

After scanning around, they found that apart from the outer ring of guards, there weren't many cultivators inside, and they were quite scattered, which put them at ease.

He turned to the fat cultivator and asked, "Where is the Earth Milk Essence located?"

The fat monk pointed and said, "There's a cave entrance leading underground right outside those ruins over there, do you see it?"

Su Yun looked in that direction.

About a hundred meters ahead, there was a ruin standing against the mountain, with four or five buildings, but they were very small and obviously had been explored. There were no cultivators around.

Right next to these ruins, there is a wide opening, about six or seven meters in diameter, leading darkly underground.

"I was referring to someone guarding it, right at the door of one of the houses."

"They were facing the cave entrance, remaining vigilant at all times."

"If we want to get in, we have to get them away or make sure they don't notice us, otherwise we can't get in."

After hearing what the fat cultivator said, Su Yun switched places with him.

Only then did they see two cultivators dressed in Xuanhong Sect robes sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the house directly opposite the underground cave.

However, upon sensing the aura emanating from the two individuals, Su Yun's heart skipped a beat.

"Is this the little guy you were talking about?"

The spiritual energy emanating from both of them indicated that they were both at the fifth level of the Qi Sea realm!

The fat cultivator grinned and said, "Compared to the other Qi Sea Peak cultivators, or even Life Palace cultivators, isn't this just a little guy?"

Su Yun's face darkened slightly.

"We can handle one at the fifth level of the Qi Sea realm, but we definitely can't take down two of them."

He knew very well that the other side had fellow disciples here. If attacked, they could summon their fellow disciples with a communication jade, and then they would be no match for them.

The fat monk nodded and said, "So, we need to find a way to lure them away, trap them, and prevent them from contacting their other fellow disciples."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "You mean, use an array?"

The fat monk nodded and said, "Of course."

"I don't understand this thing, but didn't you know the formation outside the Soul Wood Gate before?"

"That formation can trap cultivators and also interfere with their communication jade energy transmission. It can be used on these two!"

Su Yun then realized that the fat cultivator had planned everything.

The previous formation not only had killing techniques but also methods to trap beasts, and it also had the ability to interfere with the communication jade's connection with the outside world.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to locate the fat cultivator before.

He then looked at the fat monk and asked, "Since you were discovered as soon as you went in, how did you know that the cave contained earth essence?"

Upon hearing this, the fat cultivator blushed and said, "I tried before, but only caught a glimpse of it. Before I could collect it, the people from the Xuanhong Sect discovered it."

"Although these two from the Xuanhong Sect are at the fifth level of the Qi Sea Realm, their combat strength is not that great. They fought with me for a while, and if it weren't for the fact that their senior brother was here, they would have retreated. Otherwise, they would have taken him down directly."

After listening, Su Yun snorted. He knew that if this guy could have monopolized the resources, he definitely wouldn't have called him.
