Tu Hong and the other Quanjin Mountain Disciples, along with the Dao Sect cultivators, hurriedly charged toward the flickering radiance. Every one of them vanished into it!
Once the disciples had disappeared, the radiance also vanished. This time, unlike the previous occasions, even the faint spiritual energy fluctuations disappeared without a trace!
Yuan Qing and the others swept the area with their divine senses and were startled to discover that Quanjin Mountain's spirit stone mine vein now seemed stripped bare of its garments—everything could be detected by divine sense! Even several deposits of jade essence buried deep underground, along with more than ten clusters of spirit stones, were plainly visible at a glance!
"Haha, excellent! So it was not that our divine senses were restricted by the earth itself, but because of Quanjin Mountain's formation!" Yuan Qing laughed heartily. Looking again at the unremarkable soil layers, he said with a smile, "Let us all go down. Leave only a small number of sword cultivators outside to stand guard! The cultivators' formation from before was probably used for the last time, wasn't it?"
"Brother Yuan!" Ying Zhuo shook his head slightly. "Didn't you see how cunning those Quanjin Mountain cultivators are? We should still leave more sword cultivators behind..."
Before he could finish, Ling Yunwu's expression changed drastically. With a wave of his hand, the dozen or so Illusion Sword Cultivators of the Lingfeng Sword Gate swept their divine senses below. Then they mounted their swords and shot into the black hole! Four other Illusion Sword Swordsmen plunged directly into the earth!
Seeing this, Yuan Qing gave Ying Zhuo a bitter smile. "That was what Yuan had in mind as well. But... now that the spirit stone mine vein has been exposed, how many people can still restrain themselves?"
"Alas, fine!"
