Golden Spear Unyielding
After the Spiritual Qi within the formation was completely drained, a hole more than three meters long and wide appeared before everyone's eyes. Two people immediately slipped into the hole to observe for a moment, then nodded to the others. Most of the group of old men cautiously went inside, while the remaining dozen or so guarded the entrance.
Damn it! Yue Qianchou cursed inwardly. If everyone went in, he could follow them in and sneak in to see what kind of place it was.
Before long, the sounds of fighting erupted from inside. Then, Dongfang Changao's voice boomed, "You audacious fiend!"
The dozen or so people outside the cave changed their expressions, nodded to each other, and all slipped inside. The fighting inside grew even more intense, and even Yue Qianchou, who was hiding in the opposite mountain, could feel the ground trembling.
"A demon?" Yue Qianchou muttered to himself, pulling down the black veil from his head, revealing only his eyes. He was about to get up and sneak in to see what was going on when he was suddenly drawn to something. From his angle, the scene at the bend in the valley suddenly shifted, and another cave entrance appeared on the mountainside.
Two old men in white robes suddenly appeared, looked around, nodded into the cave, and then one of them flashed out, gave some instructions to the two old men, and flew away alone.
"It really is you!" Yue Qianchou sneered inwardly. The person who flew away was none other than Yan Zhuixing from the Hundred Flower Palace, and the direction he went was the direction of Hundred Flower Valley.
After the abruptly appearing cave entrance returned to normal, the two white-robed elders flashed to the entrance where the people from Fu Xian Island had entered. Standing guard, they each pulled a gleaming silver chain from their Storage Bag, holding it horizontally in their hands. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the two ends of the chain seemed to be bound with two sharp claws. Yue Qianchou pondered the origins of the two men; judging from their clothing and weapons alone, he seemed to have never seen or heard of them in the Cultivation World.
The sounds of fierce fighting echoed from inside the cave, interspersed with occasional screams, making it impossible to tell who had won. However, the people inside were clearly not to be trifled with; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to fight for so long against fifty Tribulation Transcendence stage experts from Fu Xian Island. The Fu Xian Island group was probably in no better shape, judging from Dongfang Changao's frequent roars, which sounded like those of a wounded lion.
Yue Qianchou shook his head inwardly. This Fu Xian Island was probably used to being arrogant in the Cultivation World. They dared to rashly break into other people's lair without leaving any backup plans. They didn't even realize that the guys who could wipe out the Qingguang Sect were not so easy to mess with. They deserved to learn their lesson.
The sounds of fighting grew clearer and closer towards the cave entrance. Just as several elders from Fu Xian Island launched themselves forward, they were met with two sharp claws that shot out from the sky. The silver claws danced, their light and shadow chilling, echoing throughout the valley with a series of loud "whoosh" sounds. Several violent clashes of metal forced the charging elders back.
It's over! They've been caught in a pincer movement, and Fu Xian Island has suffered a huge loss this time. Yue Qianchou clearly saw that the men who had just shot out of the cave were already wounded.
"Hey!" A loud shout came from inside the cave, and suddenly a dazzling golden light shot out from the cave entrance. "Boom!" With a deafening roar, the cave entrance suddenly collapsed. Yue Qianchou, who was hiding on the opposite mountainside, was dumbfounded. Good heavens! What was that thing? It actually caused half of the mountain to collapse?
Immediately afterward, a beam of golden light shot out from the collapsed area, causing earth and rocks to fly, and a new exit appeared in the sky. A figure shot out into the sky, none other than Dongfang Changao.
The two white-robed elders outside immediately rushed over, their two silver dragons clawing at them from the left and right. At this Dongfang Changao, Dongfang Chang'ao was not holding a sword, but a golden spear. With a flick of his wrist, the spearhead suddenly grew a thousand times larger, the spearhead, nearly half the size of a door, swept across the incoming chain claws with dazzling golden light. "Clang..." The two silver dragons were swept away in several pieces by the sharp golden light.
"A top-grade offensive Law Treasure!" the two exclaimed in surprise. But this was only the first strike; Dongfang Changao's second strike swept in with a whoosh.
"Go!" one of them shouted, quickly dodging the attack. Without a weapon, how could one possibly withstand the attack of a high-grade Law Treasure weapon with bare hands? The other person seemed to react a little slower, and was struck squarely in the waist by the golden light emanating from the spearhead. "Ah!" With a scream, he was torn in two and fell to the ground.
Dongfang Changao brandished his spear like a god of death, standing in mid-air. He glanced at the hole he had opened, and as soon as more than ten of his fellow disciples flew out, a silver chain claw shot out from the hole and grabbed at the last person to fly out.
Dongfang Changao brandished his golden spear, deflecting the flying claw for his fellow disciple. The chain claw wrapped around the spear shaft where it met the spearhead. With a flick of his spear, the owner of the chain claw flew out of the cave along with the chain.
"Whoosh..." A golden light swept in. The man, realizing what was happening, was nearly scared out of his wits. He immediately released the chains, trying to escape, but he was too slow. The golden light flashed, and shattered chain claws rained down with a spray of blood.
"Return to the sect immediately! You all go first! I'll cover the rear!" Dongfang Changao shouted with grief and indignation. Of the fifty men who had come out, only a dozen or so remained. How could he not be heartbroken? Without a word, the remaining dozen or so people from Fu Xian Island vanished without a trace.
He was left alone, wielding his spear to guard the cave entrance, his shots almost never missing their mark, killing anyone who came out. The white-robed old man who survived under his spear watched with bloodshot eyes, yet dared not underestimate the sharpness of a top-grade offensive Law Treasure.
"What a treasure! What a treasure!" Yue Qianchou's eyes lit up as he stared intently at the golden spear in Dongfang Changao's hand.
Those below the cave entrance seemed to know that forcing their way out from there would be too difficult, so no one came out from there anymore. Dongfang Changao, however, remained there, Yue Qianchou secretly sensed something was wrong and looked towards the cave entrance from which Yan Zhuixing had emerged.
Sure enough, the cave entrance was wide open, and "whoosh, whoosh..." dozens of men in white flew out, immediately surrounding Dongfang Changao. The latter was startled, not expecting a back door in the cave. Not one to be inflexible, he moved swiftly, slicing through the encirclement with a few shots, and soared away at high speed. A group of men gave chase.
Seeing that Dongfang Changao was flying towards Hundred Flower Valley, Yue Qianchou pondered that if he could escape to Hundred Flower Valley, it wouldn't be a bad way to save his life. Yan Zhuixing always did things secretly, so he figured these people wouldn't dare to break into Hundred Flower Valley, especially with the Cultivation Alliance there.
The valley instantly became empty. Yue Qianchou stared at the open cave entrance, wanting to run in and see what was inside, but unsure if anyone was there. He also thought that regardless of whether those people caught up with Dongfang Changao, they would surely return, so he abandoned the idea of taking the risk. He thought to himself, "Fu Xian Island has lost over thirty Tribulation Transcendence stage elders this time. I wonder what their reaction will be. I'll just continue watching the show! I'll just lend a hand when the time is right."
"Uh..." Yue Qianchou glanced at the corpses in the valley and froze on the spot. Coming to his senses, he rubbed his eyes and hurriedly jumped to the scene of the battle. The white-clad men who had been killed by Dongfang Changao were all gone, replaced by the carcasses of animals—more precisely, the carcasses of white foxes. This immediately made him think of something...
