C271 Sunset
"At first, people thought that this was just a spell formation master's Immortal's cave. However, from the news that came today, the owner of this cave was most likely a cultivator of the Cultivation Realm. Furthermore, he was also a formation master!"
Formation master, of course!
Ouyang Xu Lin was still talking, but Yang Junshan was almost certain that the cave in the Sunset Mountains belonged to an array master.
Perhaps it would be difficult for an array master to use an array to hide the spirit materials mine beneath the Sunset Mountains, but Yang Junshan knew that this Daoist Master Sunset was perhaps the mysterious cultivator who had the 'Inset Array' secret technique. If he could use this kind of secret technique on a large-scale array, then he could borrow the array's scale to set up a powerful array that was two to three times stronger than the original array's.
"Where is senior brother Liu Zhifei now? I will first meet up with the third squad and then plan on the next step!" Yang Junshan casually said.
The third squad was also one of the first border guard teams to discover the appearance of the cave. However, when they attacked the Tan Xi Sect, they still failed and lost two cultivators to enter the cave. Then, as the battle for the cave became more intense, yesterday, senior brother Liu Zhifei and a few other inner sect disciples joined hands and charged into the cave.
Speaking of which, Ouyang Xulin slapped her forehead and said, "Oh right, there's one more thing. When Brother Liu was entrusted by you to deliver those strange bone artifacts, he even made me afraid of death. She said that it was a battle at the Sunset Mountains Pass, and he gave you her battle achievements!"
Yang Junshan was slightly startled, and opened the nameplate on his body. Indeed, there were more than ten meritorious deeds for the human head, two more and they would be able to exchange for a mid-grade magic tool from the Heaven Shaking Sect.
After bidding farewell to Ouyang Xuling, Yang Junshan was about to leave when Ouyang Xuling caught up to him from behind and said, "I forgot to tell you, according to the news from the sect, the cave in the Sunset Mountains has already caught the attention of Martial Uncle Chen Ji. Right now, the cave is not only terrifying because of the trap arrays, but also because cultivators of the Daoist Master Stage can come in at any time."
After leaving Shaotian Village, Yang Junshan thought for a while, but didn't rush to the Sunset Mountains immediately. Instead, he released two sound transmission talismans and waited outside the village for about ten minutes. Finally, only one talisman came back to the horizon.
An hour later, Wu Shuo's coarse voice rang out. "Your cultivation has advanced?"
Yang Junshan nodded and smiled, "I thought I couldn't get in touch with you, but I didn't expect you to be nearby. You can actually find the sound transmission talisman."
"My team is passing by," Wu Shuo said. "Are you planning to go to the cave in the Sunset Mountains?"
"That's right, I've already heard the general information about that place, but I still plan on asking for your opinion. From what I see, that cave should be the resting place of a formation master, and there should be some inheritance there. I want to try my luck."
"That place is very dangerous," Wu Shuo's expression became serious immediately and he said, "My cultivation may have only recovered to the second stage of the Power Wu Realm, but I still have the fourth stage of vision and feeling. Even when my cultivation is at its peak, I won't dare to barge into that cave."
Yang Junshan knew that the Witch Clan had a natural instinct for danger. When Wu Shuo's cultivation was at its peak, he could imprison a cultivator at the Rebirth Realm for an instant with the power of a curse, and even he felt danger. This made Yang Junshan even more cautious in his heart, but from the beginning to the end, he didn't waver in his determination to explore the cave.
Yang Junshan changed the topic and said with a smile, "Brother Wu is emitting a strong aura. It seems that it will be soon time for you to return to the third layer."
Wu Shuo knew that Yang Junshan had made his decision, so he didn't try to persuade him anymore. Instead, he praised Yang Junshan a little and smiled, "I can recover to the third stage anytime I want, but this natural increase in cultivation is too shocking, I'm afraid my identity will be exposed, I'll also take a long vacation and go back to the Western Mountain Village to cultivate."
Yang Junshan nodded, and said, "Increasing cultivation level is a big deal. By the way, what's the situation with Jiu Li now?"
Wu Shuo smiled and said, "Not bad, that crazy girl. If it weren't for the fact that she was recently about to succeed in refining her Origin Mage Tool and focused all of her energy on it, his human head battle achievements would have exceeded five. Her team is quite wise and didn't bring anyone to participate in the exploration of the cave at the Duskfall Ridge. They should be patrolling at the border right now."
"That's good!"
Right, now that Jiu Li has four human heads for meritorious service, I also have three. The meritorious service of the human heads from the Heaven Shaking Sect is of no use to us, I heard that there are people who can secretly walk the path of cultivation and pool together the meritorious service of each of us.
Individuals could only use their own battle achievements to exchange items from the Heaven Shaking Sect. If their battle achievements could match up against other people, then it would be fine with some magical equipment, but if seven or eight people had enough battle achievements to exchange for a set of spiritual arts and inheritances and then teach it to each other, wouldn't that mean that a set of spiritual arts would be passed down to seven or eight people?!
However, the three military exploits that Yang Junshan had obtained from Liu Zhifei were different. That was because he had transferred his own military exploits to Yang Junshan before Liu Zhifei had even reported his military exploits. However, as an inner disciple of the Heaven Shaking Sect, he had almost confirmed the choice of a direct disciple.
Wumianzhe's team also had a mission, so the two left quickly. Yang Junshan headed towards the Sunset Mountains.
The low hills, the chaotic spiritual energy, the heavy fog, the occasional explosions of spells and divine abilities coming from who knows where, the clashing of magic tools, the sound of metal clashing against metal, as well as the hastily rushing martial artists guarding against each other, and the sound of one or two miserable shrieks rang out, causing the cultivators entering the Sunset Mountains to be on tenterhooks.
When Yang Junshan arrived at the Sunset Mountains, it was already in the afternoon. The area of the Sunset Mountains was very wide, but the atmosphere in the area made Yang Junshan wary.
However, Yang Junshan didn't rush over to the cave at Sunset Mountains from the start. Instead, he frowned and looked at the light fog that was covering the Sunset Mountains. It was a fog, a thin fog that came out of the formation after he lost control.
Moreover, the chaotic spiritual energy in the Sunset Mountains was not only because of the cultivators' secret battles, but also because of the uncontrollable formation.
Under the situation where the array was out of control, the array mist could cover more than half of the Sunset Mountains and the spiritual energy could affect the cultivators' spiritual awareness. If the array formation hadn't been out of control, then how powerful would it be?
Yang Junshan became even more fearful. During this time when they were deep inside the Sunset Mountains, Yang Junshan encountered three to four cultivators who were in a hurry, each of them looking at him with vigilance and greed. The experiences from two lifetimes told Yang Junshan that even if he showed a trace of relief, these people would probably kill immediately!0
Yang Junshan's expression froze as he saw the two sides in combat. One side was clearly struggling to hold on to the two cultivators, while the other four martial artists were obviously from Ling Zhang County. There was a cultivator on the ground who was on the verge of death, similarly from Meng Yu County.
Seeing Yang Junshan suddenly turn around from behind the hill, both sides' attacks slowed down. The two cultivators of Mengyu County were overjoyed and immediately shouted for help. On the other side, Ling Zhang County's cultivators immediately sent out one of their men to guard Yang Junshan.
Yang Junshan stretched out his hand and grasped, and the Snake Kiss Bow flew into his palm. The bowstring was wide open, and a golden arrow of spiritual light was condensed. Compared to before his cultivation had advanced, the power of the Snake Kiss Bow had increased in Yang Junshan's hand.
The bowstring startled, the Spiritual Light Arrow was already right in front of him. The Ling Zhang County cultivator who was on guard was obviously shocked, she did not expect that the magical equipment in Yang Junshan's hand could attack so quickly, and that the attacking range was also far beyond the range of an ordinary cultivator's magical equipment master.
All of a sudden, this cultivator used almost all his strength to defend against this spiritual light arrow, but unexpectedly, it exploded the moment it came into contact with the spiritual light arrow. Although the power of this spiritual light arrow was not weak, it was far from what he could imagine.
The confidence of the cultivators in Ling Zhang County was boosted, and they couldn't help but look down on Yang Junshan. They were greedy for his life, so they rushed forward, thinking that if they could kill Yang Junshan, they could at least get a magical equipment!
Unexpectedly, before he could even take a step forward, another spiritual light arrow had already come whistling towards him, along with a soul-stirring howl.
The cultivators of Ling Zhang County thought to themselves, "Fast," and once again shot the spiritual light arrow, but the fierce whistling in their ears did not stop, when they raised their eyes to look, they were immediately filled with courage, they saw the Snake-Kiss Bow in Yang Junshan's hands unceasingly drawing closer, and the spiritual light arrows flew over one after another, not even giving him the time to catch his breath.
This cultivator from Ling Zhang County quickly retreated, but did not dare to turn around. She could only defend against Yang Junshan's continuous Spiritual Lights arrows while shouting for his comrades to help.
