AWB Chapter 35 Visitors from Outside the Cave
Chapter 35 Visitors from Outside the Cave
Just as Ye Xiaobai was preparing to happily break the formation, a group of uninvited guests arrived outside the cave.
Before anyone could even see what was happening, a young voice rang out: "Fellow Daoist, aren't you going a bit too far by causing such a ruckus in someone else's cave?"
Upon hearing the sound, Ye Xiaobai immediately ran out of the cave. He saw a richly dressed young man standing respectfully beside him, along with two ordinary-looking cultivators of similar age. Ye Xiaobai guessed that the two were probably the young man's servants or underlings.
Upon seeing the person, Ye Xiaobai calmly said, "Fellow Daoist, you must be joking. This is clearly just this dilapidated cave."
Upon closer inspection, Ye Xiaobai noticed that the young man's cultivation had reached the tenth level of Qi Refining, while the two beside him had lower cultivation levels, both at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Therefore, Ye Xiaobai's focus was on dealing with the young man.
"Fellow Daoist, you should leave quickly now, and I'll pretend nothing happened, okay?" the young man said with a smile.
"What if I don't leave?" Knowing there was treasure inside, Ye Xiaobai didn't want to give it up for nothing.
"Well then, to tell you the truth, my master is Liu Qingxuan, an inner sect elder of the Qingyun Sect. How about it? Will you leave now for my master's sake?" the young man said proudly.
"do not know."
"Alright, fellow Daoist, since you refuse to listen to reason and are forced to drink the penalty cup, don't blame me for being impolite!" After saying that, the young man controlled his flying sword to attack Ye Xiaobai.
Ye Xiaobai immediately controlled his flying sword to counterattack.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
After only a few rounds of fighting, Ye Xiaobai clearly realized that the power of his flying sword had been greatly reduced. At the same time, he also saw clearly the quality of the opponent's flying sword—a high-grade magic weapon level flying sword, while his own flying sword was only a mid-grade magic weapon level flying sword.
Ye Xiaobai stopped hiding and launched a rapid attack with his second flying sword. Seeing this, the young man calmly took out a dark black shield and held it up in front of him.
After all, controlling two or three magic weapons is easy for someone at the tenth level of Qi Refining, and the two young men next to them knew that they were not strong enough to get involved, so they stayed far away as soon as the fight started.
Seeing that the flying sword attack had no effect, Ye Xiaobai casually threw out some spirit talismans. The boy didn't even glance at them, focusing only on controlling the flying sword to increase the force of the attack on Ye Xiaobai's flying sword.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The talisman exploded on the shield, but after the smoke cleared, the shield remained intact, and the boy smiled slightly. Ye Xiaobai gritted his teeth in anger, wondering when he could have a shield with such defensive power.
Seeing that his flying sword was getting more and more damaged, Ye Xiaobai could not wait any longer. This time, he directly summoned two new flying swords to attack the boy from different angles.
Four planes were already the limit of Ye Xiaobai's control, which was also thanks to his cultivation of the Nine Heavens Divine Travel Technique, whose divine sense far surpassed that of other cultivators of the same period.
The boy, seeing two flying swords suddenly appear, was at a loss for what to do. He usually only controlled two magical artifacts in battle; although he could barely control a third, it would quickly deplete his spiritual energy. Not wanting to resort to such a tactic unless absolutely necessary, he shouted to his underlings in the distance, "Little Five, Little Six, come help me!"
Upon hearing their leader's plea for help, the henchmen immediately rushed over and attacked with their magical weapons. One used a low-grade throwing knife-shaped weapon, and the other used a low-grade bell-shaped weapon.
Ye Xiaobai didn't waste any time. He directly controlled his mid-grade magic weapon flying sword to kill two birds with one stone. His subordinate's magic weapon was severely damaged by the flying sword and was unable to organize another attack.
"Idiot!" the boy cursed.
Seeing that he could not rely on his younger brother, the boy had to rely on himself. While using his shield and flying sword to defend against Ye Xiaobai's four flying swords' relentless attacks, he decided to take a gamble. Subsequently, the boy controlled a new aircraft to fly out of the storage bag and attack Ye Xiaobai.
When Ye Xiaobai saw the boy attacking with his new flying sword, he was first startled, but quickly regained his composure and focused on dealing with the boy's two flying swords.
At first, Ye Xiaobai was at a disadvantage, after all, he lacked a defensive shield. However, as time went by, the boy's divine sense was slowly exhausted.
The boy's attack speed naturally slowed down. At this moment, the boy realized that he would definitely lose if he continued like this. So, he slowly moved away while attacking. Just as Ye Xiaobai retrieved his flying sword and prepared for the next attack, the boy flashed away from the battlefield.
"You brat, you wait and see, my master is coming soon!" the boy said as he sent a voice transmission talisman, while also telling his underlings to leave quickly.
In a short while, the boy and his followers disappeared without a trace.
Ye Xiaobai didn't have much spiritual power left to pursue. At the same time, considering that the boy's master might come, he needed to quickly take the spiritual herbs from the cave, otherwise his trip would have been in vain.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Xiaobai entered the cave again, arriving at the inner wall and inhaling the fragrance of spiritual herbs.
"Here." Ye Xiaobai quickly identified the flow path of the spiritual herb's fragrance. He continued to attack the formation along the path, and as expected, the formation was soon broken.
With a final "bang!", the formation completely disappeared, and a familiar fragrance of spiritual herbs wafted over, the same scent as that from the alchemy furnace.
Ye Xiaobai looked up and saw that a pale purple fruit had grown on a green spiritual herb not far away. He had originally thought that the special spiritual herb was just smelling the fragrance of that fruit.
Although Ye Xiaobai didn't know what the fruit was called, he could clearly sense that it contained a large amount of spiritual energy, so it must be a treasure. Ye Xiaobai immediately put the fruit away. He was about to take the entire spiritual herb with him when the herb withered immediately after the fruit was taken away. Ye Xiaobai was quite aggrieved, but he still dug it up by the roots.
Ye Xiaobai looked around and found a storage bag not far away, but he couldn't open it with his divine sense for the time being. Ye Xiaobai wasn't in a hurry and put it away anyway.
Then, after searching around again, but finding nothing else, Ye Xiaobai didn't have much time to continue checking. After confirming that there was nothing there, he immediately left the cave. Ye Xiaobai didn't know when the young man from the Qingyun Sect would return.
Ye Xiaobai didn't care about consuming spiritual energy, and ran for hundreds of miles before stopping to recover his spiritual energy. At the same time, he sighed that he must buy a flying magic artifact next time.
After his spiritual energy recovered, Ye Xiaobai ran frantically again, fearing that he would be caught up. Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and Ye Xiaobai returned safely to the White Tiger Sect that night. Upon seeing the White Tiger Sect's emblem, Ye Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to put his mind at ease.
Ye Xiaobai returned to his cave and, ignoring everything else, went to sleep.
Meanwhile, the boy who had fought Ye Xiaobai that afternoon arrived at the hermitage of the rogue cultivator with a middle-aged man, only to find that Ye Xiaobai had already fled. The boy could only mutter to himself, "You brat, don't let me run into you again next time. If I do, you'll be in big trouble!"
The middle-aged cultivator scolded the boy and told him to go back and cultivate diligently to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible, and that he would take revenge when they met again in the future.
