Chapter 433: Chapter 433 Ancient Martial Arts Cave Mansion_1

The night enveloped the Fulong Mountain Range like a ferocious beast that blotted out the sun and the sky.

The last ray of light on the horizon had completely vanished.

The entire camp was shrouded in the cloak of nightfall.

The campfires had been lit, and the Martial Artists were each performing their duties.

Ling Xiao had also rushed back from outside.

Regrettably, he had not found the Ancient Martial Artist’s Cave Mansion. It seemed that Linglong Fairy had not lied; the cave mansion indeed only appeared after nightfall.

Not far away, the formerly flat ground began to slowly rise, forming a hill several dozen meters high.

Atop this hill, there was clearly a cave mansion, located halfway up the slope.

Traces of the ancient martial artist’s aura seeped from within, and Ling Xiao was certain that it was, indeed, an ancient martial artist’s cave mansion, and that there truly were treasures inside.

"Awooo~~"

From afar, a mournful howl of a wolf sent shivers down one’s spine.

"Let’s go, Young Master Ling, the cave mansion has already appeared."

Linglong Fairy, the Cold-faced Martial Artist, and two other Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer Peak Martial Artists came over together.

"The place is quite narrow, and too many people will make it difficult to enter, so just the five of us will do."

"I will only take care of activating the Array Formation, the Fairy can handle the rest," Ling Xiao said indifferently.

"That’s good, let’s set out."

Linglong Fairy and the Cold-faced Martial Artist took the lead, with Ling Xiao positioned in the middle, followed by the two Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer Peak Martial Artists.

These two had longbows strapped to their backs, clearly adept at archery and similar Martial Skills; it was even possible that their Martial Souls were of the bow and arrow type.

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but sneer internally, this was clearly to prevent him from escaping.

But why would he want to flee?

He had no reason to run away, and if these people wanted to deal with him, he would simply kill them all.

Seeking treasures had always been something Ling Xiao enjoyed.

The youthful nature he possessed held a unique fondness for adventure and treasures.

The group of five reached the foot of the mountain.

"We only have half an hour, so we must be cautious, Young Master Ling, we count on you!"

Linglong Fairy said, glancing at Ling Xiao.

The mountain was high, but the cave mansion was only about ten meters above the ground, and there were clearly platforms nearby where people could stand.

Presumably, the ancient martial artist discovered this wonderful place and decided to set up his cultivation haven here.

Ling Xiao said nothing, extended his finger, and a burst of Qi Sword shot out, striking the hard rocks before softening into a rope-like object that wrapped around the stones.

Then, he slowly retracted the Qi Sword as he scaled the cliff face.

He had no choice; carrying the heavy Array Refining Stone, he simply could not fly, and had to resort to this clumsy method instead.

"Fairy, this youngster is not very skilled in body movement techniques, he will be easy to handle," the Cold-faced Martial Artist said through transmitted sound to Linglong Fairy only after Ling Xiao started ascending.

"Mhm, still, wait until we get the items before we make a move, just in case there’s also an Array Formation inside the cave mansion," Linglong Fairy replied, her schemes deep and calculating. She planned to use Ling Xiao before killing him.

Ling Xiao reached the entrance of the cave mansion and withdrew his Qi Sword.

He felt a surge of joy in his heart; learning the Nine Channels Air Sword came at just the right time—if not for this skill, he truly would have had to think of how to climb that high.

The Array Formation of the Ancient Martial Arts Cave Mansion was not very complicated and had already become quite fragile over time.

For those adept at formation arts, breaking it was quite easy, but for those ignorant of such arts, it could be as daunting as a tiger being unable to find a place to set its foot.

Ling Xiao took out his tools, fiddled with the array formation a few times, and suddenly the array flashed with a blinding light.

He didn’t choose to break it, instead he opted for control.

He repaired the nearly shattered array, useful in case anything changed later on.

"How is it going, Young Master Ling, can you break it?"

It was not long before Linglong Fairy and the other three leapt up.

Their body movement techniques were quite exceptional, and they didn’t need ropes or the like.

"It’s a bit difficult, but I can give it a try!"

In fact, Ling Xiao had already cracked the array and made it his own; he said this simply to avoid raising the others’ suspicions.

Standing in front of the cave mansion, he fumbled around for a long time and deliberately squeezed out a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead before saying breathlessly, "Everyone, the array has been broken. Please, come in."

"You go first!"

The cold-faced martial artist suddenly drew his sword and pressed it against Ling Xiao’s back, speaking coldly.

"Fairy, this isn’t what we agreed on. Isn’t it enough that I broke the array?"

Ling Xiao said with an appearance of feigned braveness concealing inner timidity.

"Don’t be afraid. We’re doing this so that we can all get the treasure. If there are still arrays inside, we will need Young Master Ling’s help."

Linglong Fairy was pleased with herself seeing Ling Xiao’s scared expression.

It served him right for challenging her authority; this was the treatment he deserved.

"But what if you don’t keep your promise and kill me?"

Ling Xiao intentionally made his body shiver, looking very afraid.

"If you don’t want to die, then quickly do as I say, or I’ll kill you right now!" the cold-faced martial artist barked harshly. "Hurry up and get in!"

"Fairy! I don’t want anything else, I just hope you’ll spare my life after we find the treasure."

Ling Xiao said in haste.

"Hehe, why would I kill you? Don’t worry. It’s just that Cold Face has a bit of a temper. You’d better listen to him," Linglong Fairy said with a scornful smile.

In his heart, Ling Xiao had already sentenced these people to death.

If they wanted to die, they could wait until he had advanced in his cultivation level; then he would take care of them one by one!

Ling Xiao currently lacked the strength to kill these four people, but escaping should be pretty easy.

After all, in no more than a month, he would go to Sanders Castle to settle accounts with them.

One month was enough for him to advance from the intermediate stage of the Third Layer of the Transcendent Realm to the Fourth Layer.

By that time, even without entering the Human-Dragon Form, and just by taking out the Array Refining Stone, killing these people would pose no problem at all.

For now, of course, the priority was to plunder the contents of the cave mansion first, to leave them empty-handed after all their scheming!

With that thought, he stepped forward and walked inside.

That instant, he suddenly noticed a point of light flying out of the cave.

Only he, with his vision enhanced by the Mountain and River Martial Soul, could see so clearly in the dark as if it were daylight, and could completely capture even the slightest afterimage.

In that moment, Ling Xiao’s head tilted slightly, easily avoiding the light.

As the light flew past his cheek, he realized that it was a "Ghost Firefly."

The Ghost Firefly, similar in appearance to the glowing firefly, was actually a very ferocious beast, typically a Level 3 Ferocious Beast.

In the darkness, it emitted a strange light, but that light should not be stared at.

Because the light released a special kind of soul power that could trap a person in an illusion.

Ling Xiao wasn’t afraid mainly because his soul power was strong enough to ward off such illusions.
