Chapter 709: Chapter 711: Crisis, Bai Ze (6)
The crowd surged forward once again, shattering the tranquility of the quiet valley with their footsteps…
For some reason, after entering this place, the familiar sensation that overwhelmed Mu Ruyue grew stronger, nearly causing her heart to burst out.
“My God, Spirit Stones!”
Suddenly, everyone’s gaze fixed on a pile of Spirit Stones not far away, their eyes sparking with excitement.
“There are actually Spirit Stones, which can help Martial Artists in their cultivation. If we can obtain so many Spirit Stones, it will undoubtedly be of great help on our journey of cultivation.”
In that moment, the crowd could no longer contain themselves and collectively charged toward the pile of Spirit Stones, but before they could reach it, there was a loud bang as the Spirit Stones exploded. Those who were in the front didn’t even have time to react before they were obliterated in the blast…
Witnessing the rising smoke, no one dared to make another rash move, the valley fraught with danger…
Fu Qing bit her lip as she looked towards Mu Ruyue, a complex light flickering in her eyes.
The moment she saw so many Spirit Stones, even her heart raced; of all the people present, only this woman seemed indifferent, seemingly not interested in the stones…
“Damn it!”
Wu Xin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, thankful he had run quickly; otherwise, if things had gone worse, he would have ended up with broken limbs or dead.
“I don’t know which idiot disguised explosives as Spirit Stones, leading us on a wild goose chase!”
And even more grievous, it had cost many people their lives!
A cold light flickered in Wu Xin’s eyes as a silent smile curled up at the corner of his mouth. Standing beside him, He Shaoyuan had a cold expression, obviously deep in thought.
For some reason, Mu Ruyue detected a certain feeling from He Shaoyuan, a feeling that made her uneasy…
This man, he was not as simple as he seemed on the surface; perhaps his secrets were the deepest among them!
As if sensing Mu Ruyue’s gaze, He Shaoyuan turned his head to look at her, his deep eyes darkening, like an unfathomable abyss…
The secret chamber was sealed on all four sides, no sliver of light penetrating the darkness.
Shangguan Lan raised her brows as she looked at the woman before her, a glimmer of light passing through her eyes, “Feng’er, are you really confident about it?”
Shangguan Feng’s eyes lowered, hiding the coldness within, “Mother, rest assured, I’m familiar with the Heavenly Doctor Array. This means I can completely destroy the core Spirit Stone of the Array, burying those people here. Moreover, I’ve placed agents within the three major forces. When the time comes, I will ensure that all the geniuses of the three forces are wiped out, allowing no one to surpass the Immortal Medicine Sect. My only worry is if Young Master Murong finds out…”
At these words, Shangguan Lan laughed, “Young Master Murong doesn’t care about Formations. Even if there’s an issue with a Formation, we can claim ignorance about the cause. Regardless of how powerful Young Master Murong is, he can’t predict the future, so how would he know that we were behind it? Today, the geniuses within these three forces are growing in number. If we don’t kill them, I genuinely cannot rest easy. Even though the Immortal Medicine Sect belongs to ‘him’, except for when annihilation looms, he would normally not appear! And without him, the Immortal Medicine Sect isn’t much different from the other major forces…”
Thus, she would never allow any force to surpass her!
However, it was quite clear that Murong Qingchu indeed could predict the future; alas, this was something Shangguan Lan absolutely didn’t know…
