Chapter 248
After solving the problem of the grey-haired man and the female cultivator, the four cultivators who had been watching for a long time, finally came up and got close to Xiao Jingting.
From the mouths of these people, Xiao Jingting knew that they were also cultivators who entered this secret realm but not long after they came in, they were detained one by one by the cultivators just now. They confiscated their magic weapons and space rings and gave them some poison, so these four cultivators could only listen to the words of those three people just now.
Xiao Jingting estimated that the space rings he got just now should belong to these people. However, Xiao Jingting did not want to return them. There was no reason to return what was his and it was already good that he saved these people’s lives by accident.
Xiao Jingting had recently cultivated a variety of spiritual plants in his space and the spirit stones found in the mining area were used as clamor.
Xiao Jingting took the things and left the original place quickly. The beautiful looking man escaped and Xiao Jingting felt that this guy might have accomplices. When this guy’s accomplices came knocking on his door, he would not get away with it easily.
Before, because of the grey-haired man discovering him and almost putting him in the gutter, Xiao Jingting suddenly became more cautious.
From those four unlucky people, Xiao Jingting knew that the gray-haired man had a magic weapon in his hand that could know the general location of the nearby cultivators. Because of this, his position might not have been exposed because of the gray-haired man’s excellent detection ability but because of this magic weapon.
In the gray-haired man’s space ring, Xiao Jingting found a golden lamp with red dots floating above the four petals, which seemed to indicate the position of nearby cultivators.
Xiao Jingting also found that the concealment technique could not be hidden from this golden lamp. Xiao Jingting used one more concealment talisman record before the red dots representing him on the golden lamp disappeared.
Thanks to the golden lamp, Xiao Jingting found a gathering area of nearly twenty cultivators.
Xiao Jingting walked toward the medicinal garden under the guidance of the golden lamp. Outside the garden, there were seven or eight cultivators who were all dressed in the same robe as the one-eyed men Xiao Jingting had initially met. They should all be from the same sect. The weirdly good-looking man who escaped before was also among them.
Xiao Jingting frowned. Lei Xuan said that the Cloud Continent did not have the means to let the cultivators come together. However, people from other continents seemed to have such skills, so that’s why people from the Cloud Continent who entered the secret realm suffered such a great loss.
Xiao Jingting thought: Together with the three people who already died, there were ten people from the same sect in this place alone. Xiao Jingting was almost sure that this group of people had a way to find their companions.
“Brother Jin, you said that both elder martial brother Zhao and younger martial sister Lu are dead?” The red-haired man asked.
Jin Jue nodded and said with lingering fear, “Yes.”
“You’ve got to be kidding me. Elder martial brother Zhao’s umbrella is very powerful and it’s bone is made from Jiao bone and the surface of the umbrella is made from Jiao skin. Even all skeletons hanging under the umbrella brim were made from Foundation Building cultivators. How could such a magic weapon be broken so easily? What is that person’s magic weapon?” A red-haired man asked.
“That person’s magic weapon was a set of flying swords. If I guess correctly, this set of flying swords should be made from thousand years old spirit wood,” Jin Jue said
The red-haired man rolled his eyes and said, “Younger martial brother Jin, you must be joking! Thousand-year spirit wood is not cabbage. Even Golden Core cultivators could rarely have thousand-year-old spirit wood to make their swords. It would already be considered rare, but you are saying that a Foundation Building cultivator had such a set.”
“That cultivator had a lot of money. Not only he had a spiritual sword, there were also talisman records, and talisman treasures. It looked like he had a Nascent Soul cultivator’s backing,” Jin Jue pondered for a moment and said.
The red-haired man stroked his chin and said, “Elder martial brother Zhao and younger martial sister Lu are dead. Both of them had space rings that are now in the hands of that person, right?”
Jin Jue nodded and said, “Yes!”
The red haired man said regretfully, “He got away with it.”
“Hmph, he killed someone from our Yin Ghost Sect, we shouldn’t let him off. Elder martial brother Jin, do you remember that man’s appearance? Draw it and give it to others, if we encounter him, we will kill him on sight.” A young man wearing a gold crown said.
“What elder martial brother Bai said is true,” Jin Jue said.
The golden-crowned teenager looked at Jin Jue in disdain and said, “Younger martial brother Jin, elder martial brother Zhao is dead but you escaped with your life, you are so lucky!”
Hearing this, Jin Jue smiled awkwardly.
…………
Xiao Jingting hid on the side as he listened to the conversation of several people. When he heard that some people suspected he had a Nascent Soul’s backing, he could not help feeling confused. He always wished to have a Nascent Soul ancestor. Unfortunately, the strongest person in the Xiao family was at the Foundation Building realm.
Thousand-year-old spirit trees were indeed rare things, so in order to cultivate a Blue Cloud tree, Xiao Jingting burned 20% of spirit stones he stole earlier.
Not long after, three cultivators came over with several new captives.
Xiao Jingting looked at the captives brought over and rolled his eyes. Earlier, he let those four cultivators go but unexpectedly in the blink of an eye, they were caught again. These guys were really unlucky.
“Be honest, or else, without the antidote, you will die.” The red-haired man said to the newly arrived prisoners.
When Jin Jue saw these four cultivators, his gaze became complicated.
“What’s wrong, elder martial brother Jin?”
“It’s nothing. Those four cultivators were just the ones I caught with elder martial brother Zhao and younger martial sister Lu before. I thought these guys would escape, but I didn’t expect them to be caught so soon. Be honest, all of you.” Jin Jue glanced at the four men, his gaze full of warning.
