Chapter 298 - Dangerous Fighting

Since they could not see the person in front of them, then naturally, the person in front of them could not see them either. Without’s instruction, everyone stopped and kept their silence, while the sound of the person in front of them grew closer and closer, and their voices also gradually became clearer.

“Brother Xi Ying, isn’t our speed a little too fast? We’ve been through a lot of places in the Stone Woods, and I’m afraid we’ve missed out on quite a few opportunities!”

Xiong Xiying, it’s actually him. If she walked so quickly, then this person should be the Opening Spirit School, Sun Si, who was accompanying him earlier!

Everyone was shocked at first, but when they thought that Xiong Xiying also had a brother from the same clan who was an array master, especially when Xiong Xiying had entered the Great Stone Forest Formation earlier than them, they felt that it was natural.

However, thinking back to the two consecutive attacks on the group and how Xiong Xiying was behind it, everyone including Zhang Yueming chose to remain silent. It was as if they wanted to know more from their conversation.

“Hehe …”

Yang Junshan, Zhang Yueming and the others all recognized Xiong Xiying’s voice, “Brother Sun, don’t make such a small mistake, we both know that the most important treasure in this cave is at the center of the Five Elements Great Array. Even though there are a lot of good things in the stone forest, most of them are old people, and the cave is filled with spirit energy.

Xiong Xiying’s voice paused for a bit, before a slightly younger voice sounded out, “Don’t forget, there’s also an array master amongst them!”

This voice was very familiar to Yang Junshan. It belonged to Xiong Xiying’s brother who was also from the same clan, the array master, Xiong Xizhe.

After Xiong Xizhe’s voice fell, the three of them stopped for a moment, leaving behind only the sound of footsteps lingering about. After a while, they would take a few steps forward, and it was obvious that although Xiong Xiying said that he wanted to be the first one to take action, in reality, the other party was being extremely cautious in every step within the fog.

After a while, when they were only about thirty meters away from the group, Sun Si’s voice once again became softer, “Hehe, Brother Xi Ying, there’s no need to be so anxious. Anyway, you have already released the news about their great gain, the treasure is a crime, you still don’t know about it …”

“Brother Sun!”

Xiong Xiying interrupted Sun Si’s words and said: “Please be cautious!”

Yang Junshan and Yan Qinxi turned to look at the two of them, Zhang Yueming’s face was flushed red, obviously he was restraining his anger, but Liu Zhifei’s face was pale white, his eyes filled with killing intent.

“What are you afraid of, Brother Xi Ying? We have already done it, you really think that someone will run in front of us, and in the midst of all these fog, how could we just happen to bump into each other?”

Sun Si’s voice was full of disapproval, and there was even a hint of ridicule hidden in her tone.

Only a low mumbling sound could be heard, and this voice was not unfamiliar to the other people. Previously, when Yang Junshan was calculating the path everyone was taking within the fog, he had also been muttering to himself like this, but now, he was naturally calculating the path Xiong Xizhe was taking.

Soon after, the sound of footsteps could be heard again. The person was already within a distance of seven to eight Zhang. Sun Si’s voice changed once again, “Brother Xi Ying, you must be worried not because you’re afraid of your fellow disciples from your sect seizing the initiative, right?”

“Oh?” Xiong Xiying’s voice once again sounded, “In Brother Sun’s opinion, what else could be the reason?”

“Brother Sun, I’m afraid that you want to reap as much benefits as possible before your noble sect’s Adept Realm Cultivator arrives. After all, once your noble sect’s Adept Realm Cultivator arrives, your true disciple’s reputation will become very bad, so when the time comes, I’m afraid you’ll have to hand over all the benefits you’ve reaped?”

Xiong Xiying seemed to have been hit on the heart, as she let out two “hehe” and did not speak anymore.

On the other hand, Sun Si continued: “But don’t worry Brother Xi Ying, the first one to arrive in your sect should be the Mengyu County. Without a doubt, Master Chen Ji will be the first one to arrive, but I’m afraid he won’t be able to gather and order your sect’s cultivators to come.”

“What did you do?”

Xiong Xiying’s slightly nervous voice came out, and even Xiong Xizhe’s muttering of the array formation could no longer be heard. Zhang Yueming and Liu Zhifei also stood up, but the two of them knew the severity of the situation, and did not make too much noise.

“Brother Xi Ying, there’s no need to be so nervous. The news was revealed to me by you. In any case, the two of us are in an alliance. It would be beneficial for our two families if the two Heaven-Shaken Sect s were to suffer a little loss!”

“You leaked the news to the Opening Spirit School?”

Pausing, Xiong Xiying continued: “Do you know that my Xiong Family still needs to look up to the Heaven-Shaken Sect to breathe, now the news of you teaming up with me in the stone forest has already spread to Liu Zhifei and the others, the moment your Opening Spirit School appears, the first to be suspected of leaking the information would be me and the Xiong Family behind me, do you think that your sect will overturn the bridge and let my Xiong Family experience eternal damnation?”

Sun Si’s indifferent voice came over again, and said: “Brother Xi Ying, why are you so nervous, we have already released the news that Liu Zhifei and the rest have allied with the Tan Xi Sect, they have already become the target of public criticism, whether they will survive or not is a question!”

“Even if they were able to survive under the sneak attacks of other cultivators, when the time comes, the Adept Realm Cultivator would naturally come to clean up the grotto. Unless they leave the Five Elements Great Array and the stone forest, under the might of the Adept Realm Cultivator, they would at most be destroyed in spirit and body!”

“Oh, right.” Sun Si’s complacent voice seemed to have thought of something, and he added, “Not only did my Opening Spirit School get this news, at that time, Sirius Gate should also have sent Adept Realm Cultivator over. At that time …. Hehe, Brother Xi Ying should be more assured that the news will not leak out … Who and who? Not good… “Aiya!”

Just when Sun Si had said that the Sirius Gate and the Opening Spirit School would join hands to deal with the Heaven-Shaken Sect, Spiritual Master Chen Ji, who was standing behind Yan Zhong, suddenly twitched his imperceptible lips. Yan Zhong’s expression changed, but in the end, he still followed the voice and made his move.

“What are you doing!”

Yan Zhong not only did not expect Yan Zhong to suddenly make a move, but even the two from Heaven-Shaken Sect were stunned. Liu Zhifei even asked with a low voice.

Originally, the Xiong Clan colluding with the Opening Spirit School in secret was a betrayal to the Heaven-Shaken Sect. Before the matter was revealed, the problem was whether Zhang Yueming and Liu Zhifei would report them to the sect; but once Yan Zhong made a move, if Xiong Xiying realized their existence, the problem was whether or not Xiong Xiying was going to kill them!

It was also because of this that Liu Zhifei did not dare to ask loudly when he was angry at the start. He was afraid that Xiong Xiying would be able to recognize them.

Since Yan Zhong wanted to make a move, then he would have to make this matter clear. Right now, they were not blocking him, but trying to avoid him, and as long as they hide inside the formation, they would not be able to find any traces of him.

Zhang Yueming tugged on Liu Zhifei’s arm and was about to leave, but just at that moment, a copper mirror appeared in Yang Junshan’s hand, and with a flash of the mirror, the fog in front of him disappeared, as if it had reappeared in front of the cave in the pill house, isolating both parties. Xiong Xiying’s gaze swept over, and was just about to see Zhang Yueming and Liu Zhifei get up to leave.

The distance between the two parties was less than ten Zhang, but when they met, they were both stunned. They did not know what to do next.

“Brother Yang, you …”

However, what made Zhang Yueming even more confused was that, could it be that Yang Junshan really did not see any tricks behind it? Did he not know that doing so would potentially offend the Heaven-Shaken Sect and bring about a calamity upon his family village?

Yang Junshan was startled, he raised both his hands and said innocently: “What, what, is something wrong, Senior Yan has already made his move!”

Before Yang Junshan even finished speaking, Sun Si, who was on the other side, had already made his move. Previously, when Yan Zhong had sneak attacked him unexpectedly, he was caught off guard by the opponent’s ability and cut a bloody wound under the ribs, and it was under the influence of the fog. Yan Zhong’s consciousness and vision were blocked, he could only estimate from the direction of the voice, if not, with Yan Zhong’s experience, it would be difficult for Sun Si to survive the attack.

The moment Yang Junshan dispersed the fog with his mirror, he counterattacked. Both of them were only able to move thirty meters away from each other, and in a blink of an eye, sparks flew in all directions.

However, Sun Si’s counterattack was only directed at Yan Zhong. Whether it was intentional or not, Sun Si, Yan Zhong, and Yang Junshan, had all left the three people from Heaven-Shaken Sect behind.

Since they had already seen it, there was no need for Zhang Yueming and Liu Zhifei to avoid it. Xiong Xiying swirled his short halberd around him, although he did not make any moves, he only looked at the two of them with an increasingly colder gaze.

Zhang Yueming and Liu Zhifei could also feel the killing intent from Xiong Xiying’s body, and the two of them looked at each other, and started to use their respective tools at the same time, but they did not panic at all in their hearts. Xiong Xiying might be a Perfection of the cultivator, but he did not know that Liu Zhifei had just passed through this threshold.
