With a muffled thud, the ground around him trembled. Gao Luoyang was jolted awake by the punch, clutching his stomach and curling up like a shrimp, while coughing up a mouthful of blood.
Li Mohai showed no pity. He grabbed Gao Luoyang's hair, waved his right hand in the air to draw a golden rune, and then placed the rune into Gao Luoyang's forehead.
A dull thud sounded, and Gao Luoyang's eyes gradually lost their color.
At that moment, Changsun Youyou suddenly heard her master's soliloquy.
"This is... a mantra... Could this Holy Spirit Mountain truly possess the lineage of a Taoist temple...?"
After inserting the rune into Gao Luoyang's forehead, Li Mohai released him.
"Xiao Li, what's wrong with you...?"
"Oh, this is just a little trick. It's my first time trying it, and I didn't expect it to work."
Li Mohai clapped his hands, stood up, and got straight to the point without any hesitation.
"Where is Blood Asura recuperating? How many people are with him? What is their strength?"
"He was in the Desolate Graveyard, at the foot of Blood Spirit Cliff. To avoid causing any disturbances in the Desolate Graveyard, he was accompanied only by two Mahayana-stage protectors."
Zhao Li looked thoughtful.
"The desolate grave... This Blood Asura is really bold, actually recuperating in that desolate place. That place is surrounded by yin energy all year round, nourishing a group of powerful yin spirits. If it accidentally causes a riot and stirs up a yin spirit tide, even a cultivator who has undergone tribulation will die there."
"As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest. If we hadn't caught this kid, probably no one would have known he was hiding there healing his wounds."
As he spoke, Li Mohai stepped aside.
“Young Master Qin, I have obtained the information I needed. As agreed, this kid is now yours. You’d better ask me whatever you need quickly, as the effects of the mantra are almost gone.”
Qin Yangjun pondered for a moment and realized that his hesitation earlier was actually a bit of overthinking.
Li Mohai knew that the Seven-Leaf Immortal Lotus was in Ying Xiuluo's hands, so there was no need for him to hide it from him.
Thinking of this, Qin Yangjun snapped shut the golden scale fan in his hand and walked up to Gao Luoyang.
Where is the Seven-Leaf Lotus?
"In the treasure vault beneath the Yin Huai Tree Demon, a hundred meters behind the Shadow Palace in Shura Valley..."
Upon hearing this, Li Mohai frowned. He had originally thought that Qin Yangjun was looking for Gao Luoyang to avenge his junior sister, but he hadn't expected that he was actually after the Seven-Leaf Immortal Lotus.
However, the seven-leaf lotus has now become a five-leaf lotus. Although it is still a treasure, it will take at least a thousand years to nurture it into a nine-leaf lotus. Moreover, nurturing it requires many rare and precious materials. Considering that it takes a thousand years, the cost is undoubtedly enormous.
Therefore, its value doesn't seem to be that great, at least not worth them going to the Shura Palace headquarters to steal that thing.
Upon receiving this news, Qin Yangjun's expression did not change much; instead, he nodded thoughtfully.
Qin Yangjun's attitude surprised both Li Mohai and Zhao Li.
Then, as if he had just thought of something, Li Mohai's eyes widened.
"Young Master Qin, you wouldn't be thinking of stealing the things back from the Asura Palace's lair, would you?"
“Young Master Qin, I advise you not to have such thoughts. In the Asura Valley, there is an ancient Spirit-Severing Death Array, which is not much worse than your Yuqian Sect’s Extreme Yang Great Harmony Burning Heaven Array.”
"Not to mention the Asura King is also there. Even your sister would have to think twice before going. If you go and are discovered, you might not be able to come back."
Qin Yangjun smiled.
"Thank you both for the reminder. I will act within my capabilities. Let's get down to business first."
As he spoke, Qin Yangjun gestured with one hand towards Gao Luoyang, and a storage bag floated out of Gao Luoyang's arms.
Qin Yangjun didn't even look at what was inside, and simply tossed the storage bag to Changsun Youyou.
Gao Luoyang and Zhao Li didn't think much of it, because they knew this person had cheated their junior sister out of her spirit stones.
Furthermore, they didn't believe that a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator would possess anything of value that they cared about.
"Alright, what do we do with this kid now?"
Qin Yangjun looked at Gao Luoyang, and Li Mohai glanced at him sideways.
"Just leave him here. The person who was hit by the Mantra will lose his memory for a period of time, and he won't remember us."
"Without further ado, let's go!"
The four figures quickly disappeared into the horizon, and Gao Luoyang seemed to lose consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
About an hour later, a slightly disheveled figure appeared not far away. This person was Sha Yang. He was covered in blood and his clothes were tattered.
Of the two people who were originally with him, only one remained, and the remaining one was missing an arm, indicating that they had experienced a fierce battle.
Upon seeing Gao Luoyang unconscious on the ground, Sha Yang's expression changed drastically, and he quickly went to Gao Luoyang's side.
Gao Luoyang was shaken awake in two quick movements, but he looked completely bewildered.
"Senior Brother Sha Yang..."
"Where's the stuff?"
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Sha Yang's face turned extremely ugly.
I fought two of you single-handedly to let you escape with the items, and you actually ask me what those items are?!
He took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to strangle the person in front of him, and gritted his teeth, saying:
"The Boundary Essence Orb! Where is the Boundary Essence Orb?!"
"Oh...yes...um...what happened? Where's my storage bag?"
"you!!"
Just then, a whooshing sound came from afar, a black light flashed, and Sha Yang was instantly sent flying backward. Then, he was pinned to a boulder by a spear formed from black mist.
The next second, the black mist dissipated, turning into a black incantation that directly bound Sha Yang.
Before his attendant could react to what was happening, he felt a sharp pain as a large hole was torn in his chest.
Blood splattered on Gao Luoyang's face, and then a ghostly voice rang in Gao Luoyang's ears.
"Where's the stuff?!"
Chapter 124 Thorough Preparations
Having received accurate information, the four hurried towards the desolate graveyard, passing through several teleportation arrays, and it took them about four hours to reach their destination.
The desolate grave is not a secret realm, but a special area whose age is unknown; no one knows when it was created.
No treasures have ever been found here; only countless evil spirits wander about. So far, no one has ever been to the deepest part of the desolate graveyard.
The desolate graveyard is located in what seems to be a new continent, connected to an ancient wooden bridge built at an unknown age. The bridge is severely corroded, as if it would collapse if one stepped on it.
Looking across the bridge, one can feel a chill in the air. The wooden bridge is like a dividing line, separating the desolate graveyard from the world on this side.
The area where they were located was bathed in sunshine, while the opposite side was shrouded in dark clouds.
However, as cultivators, such things do not frighten them.
The four of them quickly crossed the bridge and entered the desolate graveyard.
As soon as Qin Yangjun stepped into this desolate graveyard, he heard Ming hum, as if it had sensed something, but it did not speak. Qin Yangjun asked it, but it said that it felt a feeling that was hard to describe.
As for the two Huangs, they remained silent. Since Ming was speaking in such a 'stream of consciousness' manner, Qin Yangjun didn't pay any attention to it.
Without hesitation, the four of them rushed directly towards the location of Blood Spirit Cliff.
During this time, Qin Yangjun kept an eye on the condition of the desolate grave.
A desolate grave.
Just like its name suggests, the desolate graveyard is a desolate place, with parched earth, bulging mounds of earth, withered trees, and decaying air.
This is the basic structure of the desolate graveyard. Apart from these things and the spirits, there is nothing else to be seen. The whole world seems to be dead, eerily quiet, with only faint gusts of cold wind emanating from it.
The spirits surrounding this desolate grave weren't very strong; none of them had reached the Golden Core stage. So, the group didn't need to use any special techniques; their mere aura was enough to keep them from getting close.
Perhaps because of the oppressive atmosphere around them, no one spoke. After traveling for about an hour, the group finally arrived at their destination.
Blood Spirit Cliff.
Below the cliff, a blood-red mist swirls, with flashes of light appearing from time to time, like a blood-red fiend flying by, or like an eye suddenly opening, adding an inexplicable sense of eeriness to one's heart.
Moreover, this fog seemed unusual; even Zhao Li's divine sense could not penetrate it, and the group on the cliff could not see anything below.
Zhao Li wanted to get closer to take a look, but at that moment, Changsun Youyou suddenly spoke up.
"and many more!"
Zhao Li suddenly froze, surveying his surroundings. Qin Yangjun and Li Mohai also turned to look, only to see Changsun You...
You walked to Zhao Li's side, slowly squatted down, and a flame ignited at her fingertips. As the flame swept across, a blood-red pattern appeared before everyone's eyes, but quickly disappeared.
"This is... a formation..."
Zhao Lilianshan was taken aback, and his gaze towards Changsun Youyou changed. He hadn't even noticed something, yet this little girl had discovered it.
Li Mohai frowned slightly.
"What a well-hidden formation! I didn't notice anything unusual at all. What was revealed just now was only a corner of the formation. Judging from this, it's a large formation that can cover the entire Blood Spirit Cliff. They really spared no expense."
Despite saying that, Li Mohai showed no pressure whatsoever. On the contrary, he sneered, put two fingers together, and a jade talisman radiating five-colored divine light rose from the top of Li Mohai's head.
Under the divine light, the surrounding yin energy was instantly dispelled. At the same time, Qin Yangjun and Changsun Youyou both felt a chill creep up their heads, and the layer of gloom that had been covering their divine senses was also dispelled.
The previously hidden array patterns were now fully revealed under the divine light.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Li couldn't help but gasp, his tiger-like eyes fixed on the jade talisman above Li Mohai's head.
"The Purifying Spirit and Salvation Talisman! Your sect actually let you bring it out?!"
Li Mohai smiled slightly.
"No way! If it were the real thing, I couldn't drive it at all. This is just a replica, but it can still function at about 50% of its potential. But that's not all!"
With a single gesture, Li Mohai produced a scroll painting. Without a word, he tossed the scroll into the air, where it unfurled.
A burst of white light exploded out instantly, enveloping the entire Blood Spirit Cliff. At the same time, four towering pillars rose from the ground, occupying the four directions, with a stone dragon coiled on each pillar.
"The formation diagram of the Dragon-Locking Heaven Formation... it's truly a grand undertaking."
Qin Yangjun's eyes narrowed slightly. The array formations of Holy Spirit Mountain were arguably unparalleled across the two continents, and the Subduing Dragon Locking Heaven Array was one of Holy Spirit Mountain's signature arrays.
