Cultivation: I can see the proficiency level

Deep within the Thousand Caves.

"Judging from his slowed escape speed, this boy's magical power should be difficult to sustain, and he is gradually showing signs of decline." Lü Xingzhuang, who was holding the array plate and firmly locking Wang Mian's aura, spoke.

The distance between the group and Wang Mian gradually decreased from over a hundred zhang to over fifty zhang, then over thirty zhang, and now it was only about ten zhang away.

After a long chase, the opponent's speed has gradually slowed down, and he is showing signs of exhaustion of his magical power.

It won't be long before we capture the enemy.

"If the other party hadn't been piloting the Azure Fish Shuttle and was merely a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator, we wouldn't have had to pursue them for so long." Lü Xingyun inwardly blamed the deceased Lü Xingshan.

A dignified cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining, possessing excellent magical artifacts and a puppet by his side, actually perished at the hands of a cultivator at the fourth level of Weapon Refining. It is truly a ridiculous farce and a disgrace to the Immortal Clan.

Looking at the present, even as they pursued him, they held back, wanting to capture him but also worried about taking his life. They still chased him so frantically that he fled in a panic, running around aimlessly and in a very sorry state.

They were powerless to fight back or defend themselves.

If it weren't for the fact that Lü Xingshan's blue fish shuttle was in the opponent's hands, adding an element of uncertainty to their escape speed, the group would have already smashed the man's bones and captured him to take him back to their clan.

"This cave is indeed complex and varied, but unfortunately, Fellow Daoist Xingzhuang has already locked his aura, so no matter how he moves around, he will have difficulty escaping," said Bian Zening, who was leading the way.

Seeing that Wang Mian was about to be captured and his biggest threat was about to be eliminated, Bian Zening even relaxed his tone a bit.

Bian Zening wasn't the only one who thought Wang Mian was doomed; the other pursuers shared the same thought: first, their auras were locked on; second, there was a difference in their cultivation levels; and third, they outnumbered him.

How did the other party escape?

What variables does the other side have?

Now all that's left is to capture this person. The Bian family has made a contribution and has also boarded the Lü family's big ship. Although three members of the family have lost their lives this time, they have not gained nothing in the end.

If handled properly, the Bian family might be able to reach even greater heights.

"You all, stop talking. Take advantage of his weakened state and catch up with him with all your might. Once you capture him, leave this place immediately," Lu Xingshui shouted at the group.

For some reason, without knowing why, a persistent sense of danger kept surfacing in Lü Xingshui's heart.

This made him secretly wary.

Upon closer inspection, the cave contained neither spiritual energy nor demonic beasts. The cave was either dry or damp, with no dangerous spots or potential threats. Yet, the spiritual senses stirred a feeling of danger within.

Could it be true, as Xingyi said before parting, that the other side has other methods?

"Be careful and on guard. I have a feeling something is wrong. These rogue cultivators are insidious, despicable, treacherous, and shameless. They will stop at nothing. Perhaps they have some other insidious methods that we don't know about," Lu Xingshui reminded the group.

He immediately activated his protective magic artifact, shielding himself within its spiritual light.

Although the others didn't understand why their highly skilled cousin was being so cautious, they dared not disobey and followed suit, setting up their protective magical artifacts as well.

Several beams of light dispelled the darkness inside the cave, revealing the dry stone walls.

Several gray insects, which are afraid of light, hurriedly avoided the radiance.

"Something is amiss, Fellow Daoist Xing Shui. My spiritual sense is also warning me, as if I've detected a threat," said Bian Zeyan, who was also at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

He also began to vaguely sense that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

Cultivators all believe in spiritual intuition, and these few were no exception.

Upon hearing this, Lü Xingshui frowned. Even Bian Zening felt the same way. If this happened once or twice, then it wasn't that his intuition was wrong, but that there was a real hidden threat.

After racking his brains, he couldn't figure out any problem. However, he was getting closer and closer to Wang Mian, so Lü Xingshui had no choice but to focus his attention on the pursuit. He quickly spurred his horse to capture the other party and then left the place immediately.

The change occurred a few breaths later.

Lu Xingshui, who was pursuing Wang Mian at full speed, could already see the spiritual light ahead. The man was very close, but suddenly he heard two shrill screams in his ears.

"Ah~"

"Ah~"

As Lü Xingshui hurriedly turned his head, he saw his two cousins, Lü Xingzhuang and Lü Xingyun, with their faces contorted in pain, uttering heart-wrenching cries of agony.

The two remained suspended in place, unable to even maintain the spiritual light of their protective magical artifacts.

"The dealer's luck... how could this happen so suddenly?"

After casting a light spell, Lü Xingshui saw that they were in excruciating pain, with bulging veins and drenched in cold sweat. The slight sense of vigilance in his heart spread wildly and filled his mind in an instant.

Despite all precautions, it's still impossible to completely prevent it.

Unbeknownst to them, they had already fallen victim to the other party's schemes.

"It hurts so much!"

"Brother... my head is throbbing, it feels like my soul is being torn apart... my spirit is being shattered... I'm in unbearable pain." Lu Xingzhuang finished speaking in fits and starts, then let out a miserable howl from the intense pain, almost dropping the array plate in his hand.

Lu Xingyun felt the same way; the excruciating pain of his soul splitting apart was exactly the same as Xingzhuang's. The sudden pain almost made him fall off the magic weapon.

"Ah~"

"Ah~"

The two fell off their magical artifacts, curled up with their hands covering their heads, rolled on the ground, and crashed into the stone wall, banging their heads against it until they were bleeding profusely.

This bizarre turn of events left Bian Zening, who was standing to the side, completely dumbfounded.

Without warning, catching everyone off guard.

The two members of the Lü family suddenly went mad.

"Good luck, good fortune..." Lu Xingshui, no longer caring about the fleeing Wang Mian, quickly took out the pills and prepared to feed them to the two of them.

As soon as he moved, he realized something was wrong with him. As if he were drunk, he was not only dizzy, but also unable to control his hands and feet.

Even he was targeted?

He felt dizzy and fell to the ground, feeling nauseous. Although he felt no pain, it made it difficult for him to move and hindered his magic, causing him great discomfort.

Bang!

Another thud was heard, and Bian Zening, the only one still standing, also fell to the ground with a look of terror on his face. The Changming Pearl in his hand rolled to the side, clearly illuminating the situation inside the cave.

Lu Xingzhuang and Lu Xingyun slammed their heads against the stone wall. The continuous impacts alleviated the excruciating pain, but they caused their flesh to break open, revealing their bones. Their screams echoed throughout the cave.

Lu Xingshui and Bian Zeyan's hands and feet twitched and trembled, white foam appeared at the corners of their mouths, and they felt dizzy and unable to control their bodies. They could not even speak a complete sentence and could only make hoarse sounds.

It is already a sign of mental and spiritual disorder.

At the corner of the cave, a figure quietly appeared, holding a jade jar, from which smoke was emitted. The faint smoke was then blown by a gust of demonic wind towards the group of people who had fallen to the ground.

Lu Xingshui caught a glimpse of it and was immediately overwhelmed with dizziness and torment. He tried to cast a spell, but even his hands and feet were out of his control.

The blue and purple scissors floated in the air, splitting into two sharp blades. After hovering in the air for a moment, they suddenly pierced through the necks of Lü Xingyun and Lü Xingzhuang.

The agonizing sounds abruptly ceased, and blood slowly spread, soaking the perpetually dry cave, leaving only the twitching corpse that was not quite dead.

The purple and green blades spun around, snatching up two storage bags and magical artifacts, which flew back into the hands of the figure standing in place.

"No~ Xingzhuang... Xingyun... You vicious bastard... I'll kill you." Seeing his two cousins ​​being killed, Lü Xingshui, ignoring his dizziness and fainting, suddenly propped himself up.

He held several small knives in his hand, then raised his hand and stabbed them into his thigh. A flash of blood appeared, and only the hilts remained outside.

The pain briefly suppressed the rest of his emotions, and he shakily took out the magical artifact, still managing to activate it with some difficulty.

The ever-shining pearl rolled under his feet, illuminating the standing figure in the dim light.

It was Wang Mian who remained silent, holding his breath.

He originally intended to kill the remaining two as well, but he noticed that Lü Xingshui's condition was improving and he was gradually developing the ability to resist.

Driven by a desire for revenge, he knew he couldn't linger any longer. The blue fish shuttle beneath his feet glowed with spiritual light and vanished instantly.

"Come back~ Go back to your mother, you cowardly scum, you plague-ridden beast, you killed three members of my Lü family, to the ends of the earth, my Lü family will never let you go!"

Leaning against the stone wall and wielding his magical implement, Lü Xingshui cursed angrily, exuding a sense of impotent rage.

Wang Mian, ignoring the curses, transformed into a streak of light and fled into the distance. Inside the cave, he veered left and right, and after flying for a long time, he rushed straight out of the huge entrance of the Thousand Caves Cave.
