C40 The Twists and Turns of the Road
"Ice Soul Arts, Blood Refining Sword Arts, Spirit Controlling Seal... Three superior martial arts, hahaha! How can my Hong family not thrive!" Hong Qingyun was so excited that he could not control himself.
"Young Patriarch, what should we do? Just watch as the Hong family gets all the benefits? Why don't we fight them to the death! "
The disciples of the Xu family were unwilling to accept this. Some of them couldn't bear it any longer and suggested to Xu Feng in a low voice.
Xu Feng shook his head and surveyed his surroundings. However, he didn't see any Medicine Pill or martial arts that were worth an inestimable amount of money.
"They can't take away the things here..."
Xu Lei stood there with two of his trusted aides. It was not awkward at all.
They were also jealous of the wealth in this cave, but they didn't dare to fight with the people of Hong family for it. They were afraid that Hong Qingyun would turn against them, and they would take care of them as well.
"Young master Xu Lei, what should we do?"
"We have given the Hong family so many benefits. We won't be able to pay for it once we leave this place!"
Xu Lang and Xu Yan had betrayed Xu Feng, this Young Patriarch. Compared to Xu Lei, they still treated him as a member of the Xu family. When they saw this scene, they started to complain in their hearts.
"We have let them off easy! We just need to make sure that Xu Feng dies here, and that the news won't spread out. That will be the greatest harvest of this trip. As for the report, can't we just blame it all on Xu Feng?"
Xu Lei said with a cold smile.
On Hong Qingyun's side, many disciples of Hong family were even worried about the things they had obtained in the cave. They were all worrying about how to transfer them all at once.
"Hong Qingyun, this isn't the end of the secret realm. The great fortune should still be ahead of us. The inheritance of this fallen almighty expert won't be easily obtained by anyone."
Xu Feng reminded.
There were actually three 'superior martial arts' here. Although Xu Feng didn't show anything unusual on the surface, he was secretly speechless in his heart.
"That Flaming Palm is also a 'superior martial art', but that senior kept it close to his body even until his death. It should be more valuable than the three superior martial arts here." Xu Feng comforted himself in his heart.
Hong Qingyun kept the three superior martial arts close to his body, then he gathered the disciples of the Hong family and told them to stay here and watch the disciples of the Xu family.
Hong Qingyun didn't want the disciples of the Hong family to continue moving forward, so it was reasonable for him to do so.
After obtaining so many benefits in the cave, these disciples of the Hong family could be considered to have completed their trip.
If they were discovered by another lucky chance, the disciples of the Hong family wouldn't have enough manpower, and it would be difficult for them to move out in one go.
It would be better to let them guard this place. He was the strongest amongst them, and he would carry Xu Feng and continue forward.
In fact, Hong Qingyun had his own selfish motives for making this arrangement.
He would definitely hand these three superior martial arts over to his family. However, if there were other great opportunities in the future, and there were not many people watching, he could take them in privately.
Hong Qingyun glanced at Xu Lei, and his heart skipped a beat. He suggested that he follow Xu Lei.
Xu Feng was no longer a threat to Hong Qingyun. If this Xu Lei stayed here, he was afraid that something unexpected would happen, so it would be best to let him continue forward. This arrangement could not be any better.
Xu Lei was delighted. He had never thought that Hong Qingyun would be willing to let him continue to search for opportunities. Perhaps he would be able to gain something from it.
There was actually a pool of spring water in the innermost part of the cave.
The spring water was emitting hot steam, and it even gurgled and gurgled.
The spring water was not deep and one could see a door at the bottom.
"Xu Feng, as usual, you go first!"
Hong Qingyun and Xu Lei blocked the way and forced Xu Feng to say.
Whether there was any danger in the spring or not, he would let someone check it out first.
Xu Feng did not hesitate and jumped into the spring, swimming towards the stone door at the bottom.
The hot air in the spring drilled into Xu Feng's body, it was very hot. Even with Xu Feng's physique, he could not bear it.
Xu Feng was prepared for this. He circulated his Yuan Qi and unleashed the Flaming Palm Heart. The hot air turned into a warm current and flowed into his Qi Sea.
After exchanging a few moves with Hong Qingyun, Xu Feng had used the Flaming Palm many times. At that time, he had sensed that the Flaming Palm was even more powerful in this secret realm.
The Yuan Qi in this place was actually very compatible with him.
The key to unlocking the seal and the Flaming Palm mental cultivation method had been discovered at the same time. That skeleton powerhouse must have made some arrangements when he was alive.
Xu Feng, who cultivated the Flaming Palm, in a sense, was the successor of that skeleton powerhouse.
Xu Feng's senses were magnified, and he even had a premonition of danger.
This was where Xu Feng's confidence lay. The deeper he went, the more compatible the Yuan Qi attribute was with him. Although he didn't know what was ahead, with this trump card in hand, Xu Feng had a certain amount of confidence.
Furthermore, he was bound to have a fight with Hong Qingyun. The deeper he went, the greater Xu Feng's advantage would be.
Sure enough, after circulating the Flaming Palm mental cultivation method, Xu Feng felt like a fish in water. The burning sensation immediately disappeared. Furthermore, the damaged martial meridians were being nourished by some kind of power in the spring, slowly recovering.
The Yuan Qi that he had lost was also recovering.
Xu Feng touched the stone door at the bottom of the spring water. The moment his palm touched it, the Yuan Qi in his body surged and was absorbed by the stone door.
After a while of spinning and stabilizing his body, Xu Feng found that he had arrived at an unfamiliar place.
His body was still wet, but he was no longer in the spring.
This kind of mysterious shift was unbelievable to Xu Feng.
The formation was still the effect of the formation!
The stone door looked solid, but it was actually a layer of restriction. Xu Feng had touched the restriction, so he was transferred here.
This was the bottom of the spring. Xu Feng looked over and saw that it was a stone room with a winding passage leading to the outside.
There were intense Yuan Qi fluctuations behind him. It was probably Hong Qingyun and Xu Lei who had attacked and tried to force their way in.
Xu Feng's Flaming Palm could activate the seal and teleport them here, but Hong Qingyun and Xu Lei didn't have the ability to do so.
Xu Feng was surprised to find that the Yuan energy here was very active, it could be called a paradise.
"Eh? What is that?"
Xu Feng discovered that there was a futon not far from him. There was a small booklet placed on the futon.
Xu Feng picked up the small booklet and was slightly disappointed.
This small book was not a martial arts book. Xu Feng had risked his life to come here, and he was actually looking forward to the opportunity to obtain the skeleton.
After casually flipping through a few pages, Xu Feng was attracted by the contents of the small book, and his expression became serious.
"As expected... This place is not a secret realm. That senior never thought of leaving behind opportunities for those who came later."
This was only the cultivation place of that skeleton expert. The restrictions placed on the first few levels were just to prevent those who discovered this place from entering recklessly.
However, the eye of the formation was left behind to leave behind relics for the 'fated person'.
Xu Feng, who had cultivated the Flaming Palm, was the fated person.
The contents of the booklet were the scribbles left behind by the skeleton.
"Underground is volcanic lava. Cultivating the Flaming Palm here will allow you to improve at a rapid pace. However, it will also be extremely dangerous. Once the volcano erupts, even a Martial Essence Stage or even stronger existence will be trapped in the depths of the earth. There's only one ending here: a graveless grave!"
Although it was said that the pinnacle of warriors could change the heavens and earth, that was only a legend.
Xu Feng put away the small booklet. At any rate, it could be considered a thought. Then he sat down cross-legged and swallowed two Essence Cultivating Pills to treat his injuries.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xu Feng slowly got up.
His injuries had not fully recovered, but time was tight. Xu Feng could not feel at ease.
Although Hong Qingyun and Xu Lei couldn't enter this place, if they couldn't, it was very likely that they would kill the disciples of Xu family.
"Explosive Yuan Pill, looks like I have to use it!"
Xu Feng sighed and returned to the place where the restriction was placed. He circulated the Flaming Palm mental cultivation method and broke the restriction of the stone door.
Two figures suddenly appeared. Hong Annshi and Xu Lei passed through the restriction at the same time and appeared in front of Xu Feng.
Two sharp attacks were launched at Xu Feng at the same time. Xu Feng had been prepared for this. He struck out the Flaming Palm and retreated, landing at the entrance of the tunnel.
"Xu Feng, you really did hide something! Tell me honestly, what benefits did you get?"
After Hong Qingyun and Xu Lei observed the environment, they both stared at Xu Feng at the same time, eyeing him covetously.
Xu Feng's aura soared, his Qi Sea boiled, and his Yuan Qi was like fire. Hong Qingyun and Xu Lei were shocked to find that Xu Feng was actually breaking through a realm!
"Explosive Yuan Pill, you ate that Explosive Yuan Pill!" Xu Lei's expression changed dramatically as he said.
Hong Qingyun was first shocked, then he sneered, "So what if I broke through one realm at the last minute? You are still not my match! Xu Feng, oh Xu Feng, you think you are very smart, so you should show weakness to me first. However, it is useless. Strength determines everything!"
Hong Qingyun attacked Xu Feng. His movement technique and martial arts were both more powerful than Xu Feng's.
Although Xu Feng's left arm was recovering, it was not that fast. It was a big weakness.
The Explosive Yuan Pill allowed Xu Feng to break through to the Martial Arts Eighth Layer. If it was just Xu Lei alone, Xu Feng would win. However, when it came to Hong Qingyun, there was still a gap between them.
Although Xu Feng's rise was fast, he was at a disadvantage because he had only been cultivating for a short period of time, and his realm was much lower than Hong Qingyun's.
"Xu Feng, you will die here today!" Xu Lei also attacked.
They realized that there was no way forward, and the secret realm had come to an end. They suspected that Xu Feng had already obtained the greatest 'opportunity' in this place, so they killed him.
Xu Feng and the two of them fought as they retreated. They were no match for him.
After exchanging a few blows, blood flowed out from the corner of Xu Feng's mouth. He had completely fallen into a disadvantageous position, but at this moment, Xu Feng had already retreated out of the passageway.
Bang!
Xu Feng suddenly smashed his Prison Suppressing Fist into the stone wall. With a loud bang, a large hole actually appeared in the stone wall!
0
Outside the big hole was the entrance of the cave.
The tunnel below was hidden. If Xu Feng had not seen the contents of the booklet, he would not have known that it was designed in such a way.
Xu Feng looked at the few huge statues in front of the cave. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then sneered at Hong Qingyun and Xu Lei.
Xu Feng's palms were pressed against a statue, and the eyes of the statue, which were as big as copper bells, turned orange.
Boom! The statue seemed to have come alive. It strode forward and 'walked' behind Xu Feng.
These statues were indeed inanimate objects, but they were extremely rare 'puppets'!
Puppets were the guardians of the cave left behind by the skeleton expert. They were powerful weapons.
The most valuable thing that Xu Feng obtained in the last stage was the method to activate the puppets that was recorded in the booklet.
This method was the key that Xu Feng could turn the situation around!
"Now is the time to kill. All of you... go to hell!" Xu Feng's smile was cold, but it was wild and unrestrained.
