Chapter 613 - 268: Obtaining the Spirit Seed, Severing His Arms
"That’s right! I just discovered that the Gold Spirit Seed is within this mountain peak.
However, when I arrived, the Spirit Seed had already escaped. If it weren’t for your interference, I might have already found the location of that Gold Spirit Seed by now."
Tie Shi, upon hearing this, was immediately half-convinced, half-doubtful.
Ao Langtian snorted again and said:
"If you don’t believe it, you can go into this mountain cave to check.
Even if the Gold Spirit Seed has escaped, with your cultivation, you should be able to sense some clues."
Upon hearing this, Tie Shi’s gaze flickered slightly, then he coldly glanced at Ao Langtian.
"Let’s go, let’s go in and have a look. If you’re lying, this cave will be your burial ground."
Although Tie Shi was indignant about his junior brother’s death at the hands of a Daluo Sect cultivator, he was clearly more concerned about the Gold Spirit Seed.
Ao Langtian, hearing Tie Shi’s obvious threat, had a flash of anger in his eyes.
But thinking of the other’s strength, he had no choice but to endure it.
Immediately, the two of them directly entered the mountain cave.
At this moment, Chu Ning, who had been hiding in the rock wall, secretly lamented upon hearing these words.
When the two were fighting just now, he had thought about escaping again.
But the thought just flashed by and was dismissed by Chu Ning.
With the cultivation of two Late Stage Golden Core cultivators, in such proximity, the mana fluctuations caused by his Earth Escape Technique would definitely be noticed by them.
He originally hoped that the two would fight to the death so that he could find an opportunity to slip away.
But he didn’t expect that the two would stop before reaching that point.
Since both of them entered the cave to investigate carefully, the traces left by his previous Earth Escape Technique were bound to be discovered by the two.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning no longer hesitated. As the two entered the mountain cave, he quickly used the Flying Escape Technique to fly towards the summit.
Although he had learned the Earth Escape Technique after awakening the Earth Spirit Body,
compared to the Divine Wind Escape, it was still somewhat slower.
After entering the mountain cave, Tie Shi only had to sweep over it with his Divine Sense slightly before the light in his eyes flashed brilliantly.
"That’s right, there’s indeed the aura of a Gold Spirit Seed here.
Hmm?"
In the next moment, Tie Shi’s gaze turned towards the direction of the stone wall in front, and his figure flickered, rushing out of the cave again.
Ao Langtian also sensed the unusual mana fluctuations of Chu Ning’s Earth Escape Technique.
At this moment, he followed Tie Shi and also flew out of the cave.
As soon as the two exited the cave, they saw Chu Ning flying from the peak.
Both were slightly taken aback.
They both emitted a surprised "Eh" sound.
"Who are you?"
"Chu Ning? Leave your life behind!"
Chu Ning, who had just flown out, didn’t care to respond at this moment. His figure flickered, using the Divine Wind Escape, he swiftly flew away into the distance.
But just as his figure moved and flickered more than ten feet away,
Chu Ning stopped with a grim expression, sighing inwardly.
He had just been amazed by his luck at obtaining the Gold Spirit Seed so easily.
But now it seemed that luck was not in his favor after all.
For in the direction Chu Ning was flying towards, two people were also flying towards him at this moment.
Chu Ning recognized both of them.
One was the elder Zou from the Black Cloud Sect.
And the other was none other than the peculiar You Jing.
They, too, noticed the three now.
Then, their gazes both fell onto Chu Ning, eyes turning slightly playful.
You Jing at this moment flashed a hint of coldness in his eyes, coupled with a mocking smile.
"Chu, I was lamenting earlier that I hadn’t run into you in the Spirit Realm, and now here you are.
It seems your luck isn’t so great after all!!"
"Brother You, you know him too?" Elder Zou naturally recognized Chu Ning as the one Ao Langtian had mentioned wanting to kill before.
At this moment, upon hearing that You Jing also seemed to have some grievances with Chu Ning, he was greatly surprised.
"Know him?" You Jing’s eyes revealed a sharp glint upon hearing these words.
"This person is indeed one of the cultivators I most want to kill."
Elder Zou, hearing this, let out a dry laugh, gazing at Chu Ning with much curiosity.
"Youngster, I’m quite curious now.
Just what is it about you that makes both Ao Langtian and Brother You eager to kill you?"
Upon hearing elder Zou’s question, even Tie Shi’s gaze flashed with a hint of curiosity.
At this moment, Chu Ning did not answer elder Zou, but slightly turned around.
Tie Shi and Ao Langtian, seeing Chu Ning stop without escaping further, hovered in mid-air not far away.
Chu Ning directed his gaze towards Tie Shi.
"Fellow Daoist Tie, how about we cooperate for a while.
I’ll hold back this Profound Yin Sect Protector, while the other two shouldn’t be a problem for you either."
Upon hearing this, Tie Shi looked at Chu Ning, then at Ao Langtian and the other two, and burst out laughing.
"Interesting! How truly interesting! You must be from the Cloud Peak Alliance, right?
Not only does a fellow Daluo Sect cultivator from the same alliance not support you, but they also want to kill you.
Kid, I’m starting to take an interest in you."
At this point, Tie Shi also revealed a playful smile.
"But why should I cooperate with you?
You think these three can stop me if I decide to leave?
But if I agree to help you, and you die, I’d have to face the three myself—why make such trouble for myself?"
