Yunmeng Immortal Clan

Two white lightning-infused flying swords pierced the shoulder blade of the short, dark-skinned cultivator, and the other pierced the thigh of the monkey cultivator.

The two screamed, and before they knew it, blood gushed out.

"Second brother, third brother! What's wrong with you two!" The scarred-faced cultivator glanced at the two cultivators and shouted loudly.

"Brother, we're alright! This person is no ordinary being. We must quickly assemble a great formation and kill him!" The short, dark-skinned cultivator clutched his shoulder and suggested to the scarred-faced cultivator.

Upon hearing this, the scarred-faced cultivator calmly nodded.

The two sword strikes just now were unleashed hastily by Song Daoxuan and did not kill the two men.

Song Daoxuan couldn't help but secretly lament his disappointment.

Seeing the twenty-seven ink-poison flying knives of the three men hover in mid-air for a while before continuing to fly towards Song Daoxuan.

Song Daoxuan's figure flickered, and he conjured a golden cauldron. The golden cauldron transformed into a golden crocodile phantom, which was then turned upside down and floated in mid-air.

It withstood the attack of twenty-seven ink-poison flying knives.

"Second brother, third brother, form the formation!" As soon as the words were spoken, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators formed a hand seal.

All twenty-seven throwing knives gathered together at the command of the three men.

Twenty throwing knives flashed with light, transforming into a massive, dark green blade that plowed through the ground, causing a howling wind to rage around them.

"What a powerful attack! It's comparable to the power of most low-grade spiritual artifacts. We must break through this attack!" Song Daoxuan patted his storage bag again, and two white ink bamboo flying swords and several top-grade magic weapon flying swords flew out together.

"Break!" As soon as Song Daoxuan finished speaking, the two swords transformed into two sharp white rainbows, directly piercing a gap in the illusory, dark green, giant flying blade.

In an instant, the three rogue cultivators' proud array of twenty flying knives was shattered by two strange flying swords.

The other top-tier flying swords rushed straight towards the three Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The three of them once again conjured defensive magical artifacts to resist, but the two white ink bamboo flying swords spun around in mid-air, and two sharp white rainbows pierced towards two of them.

The speed was so fast that the two people didn't even have time to react before they fell to the ground instantly.

"Second brother, third brother..." The deaths of his two brothers sent a chill down his spine.

But the sadness quickly vanished.

The scarred-faced monk was instantly shocked and pale.

Before he could react, Song Daoxuan manipulated all the flying swords to hover in mid-air, completely surrounding the scarred-faced cultivator in front of him.

Once Song Daoxuan made a thought, these floating swords would instantly slash towards the scarred-faced cultivator in front of him.

"Hehe, just now you said you wanted me to hand over this second-tier spiritual herb, and you attacked me without warning. But now? Are you still as tough as before..." Song Daoxuan's face under his bamboo hat was extremely cold and stern, revealing his killing intent.

"Senior, spare my life! Senior, spare my life! I underestimated you and didn't know your strength. If you spare my life, I'm willing to tell you about an opportunity within the Heavenly Demon Cave..."

Upon hearing these words, Song Daoxuan was slightly taken aback and restrained his killing intent somewhat.

"Oh? I am a righteous man, not a bloodthirsty wretch. If you hadn't attacked me today, I wouldn't have killed your two brothers. Tell me about your opportunity, and I might spare your life!"

Upon hearing this, the scarred cultivator raised his head and gave Song Daoxuan a deep look. After careful consideration, he actually tossed a jade slip to him.

Song Daoxuan took the jade slip and absorbed his divine sense into it.

Song Daoxuan's expression immediately changed.

What shocked Song Daoxuan was that this jade slip contained a complete record of a star mine.

Star ore is considered a relatively rare and precious type of second-tier material, and it is not found in abundance in the cultivation world.

Instead, they are scattered, and having two or three in the same place is already considered a lot.

However, this jade slip records at least ten pieces of star ore.

Song Daoxuan put away the jade slip and asked Scarface for information about the mineral.

Through inquiries, it was learned that Scarface and his two brothers were a group of renowned cultivators in the Chu State.

The three often lurked in the Heavenly Demon Cave and were very familiar with its terrain; however, they were extremely cautious in their actions.

Once they encounter a lone early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, the three of them team up to kill and plunder, gaining cultivation resources.

However, this time the three of them actually set their sights on Song Daoxuan, thinking that Song Daoxuan was just a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. Little did they know that they had kicked a hornet's nest.

Song Daoxuan was no ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. The two Ink Bamboo Flying Swords he carried were already far superior to most low-grade spiritual weapons. Moreover, aside from the two Ink Bamboo Flying Swords, he also had three low-grade spiritual swords: the Golden Crocodile Cauldron, the Azure Sword, and the Purple Lightning Sword.

With these trump cards, even though Song Daoxuan had just entered the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, he was not afraid of cultivators of the same level at all.

However, Song Daoxuan was no match for a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Very well, since you have offered this to me, I will spare your life..." As soon as he finished speaking, Song Daoxuan pointed his finger and a sword light pierced through his head.

The scarred monk collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Song Daoxuan disposed of the body and erased all traces before hastily leaving the place.

After leaving this place, Song Daoxuan found a stone wall in the Heavenly Demon Cave. He used his long sword to carve a hole in the stone wall, just big enough for him to fit through, and then sealed the hole with rocks.

His previous battle had consumed a large amount of his spiritual energy, and he needed to recover some of it.

However, spiritual energy is scarce in the Heavenly Demon Cave, and the rate of spiritual energy consumption in the Heavenly Demon Cave is much faster than in the outside world. It is unrealistic to simply use the Five Hearts Facing the Sky method to inhale and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to recover.

Song Daoxuan had no choice but to move all the mid-grade spirit stones out of his storage bag and set up a simple spirit-gathering array on the ground.

The Spirit Gathering Array concentrates the spiritual energy from the spirit stones onto Song Daoxuan, who is at the center of the array.

A whole day has passed.

Song Daoxuan had just finished recovering the spiritual energy he had previously depleted.

Song Daoxuan took out one of the throwing knives from the three Foundation Establishment cultivators he had previously examined.

Song Daoxuan was stunned again. This flying knife was actually the same as the three ink poison flying knives he had obtained from the Song family in the Qinglian Islands decades ago.

However, according to the clues in the three people's storage bags, their acquisition of these twenty-seven ink poison throwing knives was merely a matter of chance, and by the time they came into their hands, they had been passed on to countless other people.
