“However, it’s useless!”
“Damn it, it’s inevitable! I boldly guess that the second expedition team will still be wiped out!”
Xiao Heng was stunned, “No way, didn’t you say this is the Golden Core
Sanctum? How could even the Nascent Soul cultivators die in there?”
Ye Feipeng snorted coldly, “That’s because the seventeen mechanism puppets in Tianyang Cave Mansion possess an unusual trait!”
“They’re weak when they face the weak, and strong when they face the strong!” He uttered each word with gravity.
Xiao Heng narrowed his eyes, pondering the implications of these eight words.
Suddenly, he eyed Ye Feipeng suspiciously, “How do you know all of this so clearly?”
Ye Feipeng waved his hand, “Born with this knowledge, remember?”
“That’s not the point, the point is, we have to sneak into the cave mansion before the second expedition team is formed and snatch the opportunities inside!” Ye Feipeng stated adamantly.
“Otherwise, once the Immortal Alliance’s team is wiped out again, causing a huge stir, it will be impossible for us to seize the opportunity unnoticed!”
Looking at Xiao Heng’s skeptical gaze, Ye Feipeng grew anxious and blurted out, “You don’t trust me?
“Would I harm you?!”
“We are from the same realm, both members of [Immortal Revival], and we’ve signed the Contract Scroll.” “United we stand, united we fall.” “There’s no way I might harm you!”
Eventually, Xiao Heng was persuaded.
The two quietly approached the Tianyang Cave Mansion, near the seabed volcano.
The news about Tianyang Cave Mansion had not yet spread widely, and the surroundings were quiet with no cultivators lurking around.
“You go in first and deal with those puppets for a while. See how long you can last.”
“Puppets at the Energy Refining Stage don’t have strong attacks. Even if you get hit, it won’t matter.” “I’ll be on the lookout outside.”
Ye Feipeng instructed.
Xiao Heng slowly nodded, his expression serious, as he flew into the Tianyang Cave Mansion.
After about twenty bits of time, Xiao Heng came out looking slightly disheveled.
He didn’t say a word, just closed his eyes and thought in silence.
A while later, he flew back in again.
This time, Xiao Heng lasted twice as long.
The third time…
Half a day later, Xiao Heng tiredly told Ye Feipeng, “I’ve pretty much figured out the puppets’ attack methods.”
“But my spiritual energy is limited, and even like this, I can’t hold on for too long.”
Ye Feipeng, acting as if he had everything under control, passed a storage ring to Xiao Heng.
Upon inspection, Xiao Heng saw that the ring was filled with spirit stones.
“Where did you get all these from?” He couldn’t help but ask.
Ye Feipeng said proudly, “Young Master, of course, has his methods, don’t worry about it.”
“So, with these spirit stones, how long can you roughly last?”
Xiao Heng took out a spirit stone and sensed the concentration of spiritual energy inside it.
After a while, he confidently replied, “With sufficient spiritual energy support, though those puppets are in great numbers, they should not be able to beat me.”
Ye Feipeng quickly said, “No, no, you can’t do that. You have to be at a disadvantage but can’t lose. Hold on as long as you can until I come out.”
Xiao Heng furrowed his brows, “Are you messing with me? What kind of strange request is this?”
He carefully surveyed Ye Feipeng, “Are you hiding something from me?”
“Don’t be so suspicious! I’m not telling you because I fear it’ll affect your mentality and lower your combat power,” Ye Feipeng said somewhat helplessly, “If we’re talking danger, isn’t it even more dangerous for me inside the cave mansion?”
“If something really goes wrong, you still have the chance to escape through the exit. I wouldn’t even be able to slip away.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Heng slowly nodded.
“All right, let’s not delay any longer. After some minor preparations, we’ll act immediately. Young Master’s life will be in your hands!”
Ye Feipeng was somewhat nervous, but he took a deep breath, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
“Let’s go!”
After a while, the two charged into Tianyang Cave Mansion one after the other.
Seventeen puppets stood in their way.
Ye Feipeng’s feet glowed as he teleported, evading them and appearing behind the puppets.
As the furious puppets were about to chase, they were blocked by a blue water sword.
Swords of water filled the sky, resembling flying dragons, all erupted at once.
Xiao Heng immediately and the seventeen puppets, stood together as a group.
The besieged Xiao Heng looked very embarrassed.
The puppets’ attack almost brushed against his body.
Any carelessness could result in severe injury.
But strangely enough, he seemed to be extremely lucky and was able to avoid the attacks at just the right moment every time.
It seemed fraught with danger, but in reality, it was all under control.
The battle between the two sides lasted some time.
The puppets, unable to break through after a long time, seemed to be undergoing some sort of transformation.
The power of their moves gradually exceeded the range of the Energy Refining
Stage.
On Red Silk’s body, there was even a faint shimmer of dark light.
Xiao Heng suddenly felt a sense of foreboding in his heart.
He took out another Spirit Stone to replenish the spiritual energy in his body.
He shouted into the cave: “Fatty, are you done yet!” The echo lingered but there was no response.
Xiao Heng had no choice but to grit his teeth and persist.
The puppet’s attacks grew fiercer, and Xiao Heng gradually grew weary.
Just as he was about to be hit by the puppet, he bellowed.
“Water Dragon Chant!”
A multitude of Water Sword, double the quantity, suddenly emerged on the court.
The dense Ocean Command Rapier suddenly dispersed the puppet.
The seventeen puppets paused for a moment.
Then, cracks began to appear gradually on their bodies.
“Fatty! Something’s wrong!”
Xiao Heng shouted.
“Tian…”
In the cave, an old and mechanical voice suddenly rang out.
“Damn it! There’s nothing here!” Ye Feipeng’s frustrated voice also rang out simultaneously.
He was seen turning into a thin line, rushing out of the cave without looking back.
“Run!”
As he fled, he shouted.
Xiao Heng had never seen Fatty this scared before.
A shudder ran through his heart, and he burst out with all the spiritual energy in his body without hesitation.
The Ocean Command Rapier was like a torrential downpour, driving back the seventeen puppets.
Xiao Heng followed Ye Feipeng closely and managed to slip away from the
Tianyang Cave Mansion.
“Yang…”
Before leaving, Xiao Heng heard something shattering.
“Keep running, as far as you can!” he heard the panicky voice of Ye Feipeng in his ear.
Xiao Heng’s heart tightened, and following the fat but extremely agile figure, he retreated in disarray.
Not long after Xiao Heng and Ye Feipeng left, a small team of about ten people arrived at the Tianyang Cave Mansion.
“With Master Guoxuan leading the team this time, exploring a small Golden Core Sanctum, we are bound to succeed.” one of the Golden Core Cultivators in the team flattered.
“Hahahaha, let’s go! I want to see for myself if the puppets in this sanctuary are really that amazing!” Master Guoxuan laughed heartily and took the lead in entering.
What greeted him was a giant Black Palm full of cracks.
“Tianyang’s lifetime…”
“Is not inferior to humans!
Thick smoke billowed up into the sky, and the seabed volcanoes erupted one after another.
In the face of the terrifying power of Heaven and Earth, the Golden Core Cultivators had absolutely no power to resist.
This exploration team, just a second ago their faces were filled with smiles.
The next second, they mysteriously and inexplicably disappeared from this world.
The imposing Tianyang Puppet stood tall, roaring in anger.
It identified the direction in a daze, and strode towards Ten Thousand
Immortals Island..
