Sword Rises in the Blue Lagoon, Why Are All the Sword Cultivation Families Older Than Old Six?

Ye Qiwen saw Lu Ming's eye signal and thought to himself, 'Good.' At this moment, the sky began to turn gloomy, and an invisible pressure enveloped the entire Maple Leaf Valley. The cultivators with profound cultivation around them also felt the abnormality, and they stopped talking, concentrating and preparing.

At this time, the valley was filled with churning clouds and mist, and a huge mountain wall in the distance suddenly collapsed, revealing an ancient and magnificent cave mansion gate, with reliefs inlaid in it, exuding a desolate and long-lasting aura. Stone pillars on both sides of the cave entrance were like giant dragons coiled around them, with strange runes engraved on them, flickering with a faint spiritual light.

A breeze blew, scattering the fallen leaves on the ground, and the world seemed to quiet down, with only the sound of footsteps and whispers.

An old man in a black robe glanced around and said in a hoarse voice: "Everyone, be careful, there may be traps here, don't act rashly."

Ye Qiwen looked up at the cave mansion and said calmly: "Let's go, let's join in the fun too." With a wave of his hand, he led his clansmen slowly forward.

At this time, the other major forces were not willing to be left behind, and each sent elite teams to advance towards the cave mansion. For a time, the scene seemed quite chaotic, but no direct conflict occurred.

Lu Ming quickly followed, nodded to Ye Qiwen, and whispered: "We need to be careful next, they won't let us in to take advantage so easily."

Ye Qiwen smiled slightly: "Naturally, mutual precaution is normal. But now is not the time to fight."

Everyone gradually approached the cave entrance, and the intense sense of oppression became stronger and stronger. Some people with slightly weaker strength even began to gasp for breath and were forced to stop.

Ye Qiwen frowned and said: "It's really not simple, it seems that the owner of this cave mansion is extraordinary."

The Great Elder of the Lu family took a deep breath, turned his head and shouted to everyone: "Maintain the formation, don't move around at will!"

Ye Qiwen and others continued to move forward, stepping into the cave entrance that exuded an ancient aura. Countless glittering spirit stones were embedded in the surrounding stone walls, illuminating the cave brightly. Each step echoed in the empty cave, as if testing their courage.

Lu Haoran walked to Ye Qiwen's side and muttered in a low voice: "There is such a rich spiritual energy here, I feel that my cultivation has improved."

Ye Qiwen nodded and looked at him approvingly, saying: "But it's also more dangerous, be careful and cautious."

At this time, a young cultivator wearing luxurious robes suddenly hurried from behind. His face was pale, he had obviously consumed a lot of spiritual power, and his eyes were full of anxiety.

The young man in fancy clothes, panting, shouted to the crowd in front: "Wait for me! I'm here to deliver a message!"

Everyone stopped and stared at him warily. Ye Qiwen narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man.

Ye Qiwen: "What's the matter?"

The young man in fancy clothes took a few difficult breaths before opening his mouth and said: "In the cave... in the cave, a powerful guardian has appeared, we can't easily enter!"

Before he finished speaking, a low roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave, deafening and shaking the surrounding dust. A huge monster suddenly pounced out, attacking the crowd like lightning, its giant claws waving with terrifying power.

Ye Qiwen: Quickly dodged sideways, condensing spiritual power in his hand to form a sword aura shield to block in front of him.

The Great Elder of the Lu family sacrificed a magic weapon and shouted: "Everyone be careful!" After saying that, he sacrificed a magic weapon, and a black spear shadow slashed towards the monster.

The monster let out a heaven-shaking roar, but was not repelled by this attack, and pounced again. Its body was shrouded in a layer of black mist, making it particularly eerie and terrifying.

Lu Yanran took a few steps back in panic and said with a trembling voice: "What kind of monster is this?"

Lu Ming also sacrificed a magic weapon, and a golden disc floated in the air, saying: "This should be a guardian beast left over from ancient times, be careful!"

At this time, the cultivators all displayed their magical powers, some urging talismans, some sacrificing magic weapons, and various spells intertwined to besiege the monster. But the monster was extremely fierce, not only thick-skinned, but also extremely fast, and each attack brought up a storm of flames.

Ye Qiwen's eyes were cold, and while the monster was entangled with others, he quietly released a subtle spiritual power thread, leading to the depths of the cave. He wanted to explore the internal situation of the cave in this way.

Suddenly, the monster's eyes glowed red, as if it had discovered Ye Qiwen's attempt, and it rushed towards him violently. Its giant claws tore through the air, bringing a sharp whistling sound.

Ye Qiwen hurriedly crossed his arms in front of his chest, and a layer of dazzling blue light emerged from the surface of his body, forcibly receiving this blow, but was lifted out by the huge force and slammed heavily on the stone wall. After coming down, he stubbornly stood firm, without triggering the family jade card self-protection mechanism, Ye Qiwen thought.

Then he said to everyone: "It seems that we can't underestimate this beast." With his second level of Hunyuan Body Tempering Sutra, such physical strength plus the defense of the family clothes, he was almost slightly injured by one blow, thinking that he was still careless. The patriarch said that he could not put himself in danger, let alone with two clansmen around him, so he could not take risks. He immediately transmitted his voice to the Lu family members: "Everyone doesn't need to save their strength anymore. I think this monster has the peak strength of the Dharma Phase. It was this level of monster from the beginning. I don't know what it will be later. This cave is not something we can touch now. I decided that we will withdraw temporarily and report the changes here to the family elders."

The Lu family members also quickly agreed after hearing this, because the strongest Lu family ancestor among them was only the fourth level of the Dharma Phase.

At the moment when Ye Qiwen issued the retreat order, the monster roared again, as if sensing that the prey was about to escape, it pounced angrily. The surrounding air was tense, and the people of the major forces burst out their strongest spells, trying their best to resist this extremely ferocious guardian beast.

Ye Qiwen said anxiously: "Let's go!" A strong spiritual force burst out from his body. He tugged at the remaining two clansmen, and the three spirit clan servants behind them, seeing this, wrapped the three of them with spiritual power and rushed out.

Lu Ming also held a magic weapon to meet the enemy, and together with the other elders, he slightly forced the monster back, but the anxiety in his eyes could not be concealed. "Quick! We can't stay any longer!"

Everyone retreated while continuing to release spells and talismans to block the monster's attack, and the scene became extremely chaotic for a while. Those casual cultivators and disciples of small sects with lower cultivation levels were shocked by the monster's amazing power, and many people chose to flee at this moment.

However, just as everyone was desperately retreating towards the outside of the cave, someone suddenly shouted loudly in the crowd: "Everyone, don't run! This is an opportunity, use the formation to attack it together!"

These words were like a thunderbolt, temporarily stopping the originally panicked crowd. They looked around, only to see that the speaker was a Taoist with white hair and an old beard. He was wearing a purple Taoist robe and had an extraordinary demeanor.

The white-haired Taoist said in a deep voice: "I am Yunxiao Zhenren of the Tiandao Sect. Although this monster is extremely powerful, it is not invincible. If everyone joins forces to set up a formation, we will be able to capture it."

Hearing these words, Ye Qiwen and others rushed out of the cave without looking back. When leaving the cave, Ye Qiwen heard the roar of the beast mixed with the gust of wind in his ears, thinking that another one was coming.

After rushing out of the cave, Ye Qiwen turned around and looked. Except for the Lu family, many small forces also escaped. Everyone who could escape was embarrassed, only the six members of the Ye family were still normal. Standing quietly not far away, watching the embarrassed crowd, because they knew that with these three servants, they also had a bottom line in their hearts.
