Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 105 – Tracking

Yang Junshan carefully walked through the swamp. In the end, he still let his curiosity and greed chase after him in the direction of the two groups of people.

By this time, he could tell from the traces he had left in the swamp that he was very close to the two groups of people chasing each other, so he had no choice but to be more cautious.

On a gentle slope in the middle of the swamp, there walace where the muddy water had not spread out. It was actually a pretty good resting place.

“Senior Martial Brother, we lost a lot of our food and water in the previous two fights. What are you going to do next?” Furthermore, this time, everyone is here with senior brother in the Nanxuan swamp, some of our junior brothers are already guessing senior brother’s intentions. ”

Xu Jing passed a bamboo tube that was filled with water to Zhang Yueming and warned him softly at the same time.

Zhang Yueming was about to open the bamboo tube to drink water, but after hearing that, he twisted the lid off the bamboo tube and said: “I’m not thirsty, just keep the water inside.”

Looking at the dozen or so disciples around him, Zhang Yueming smiled bitterly. He also didn’t know that these people had followed him because they valued his status as an inner disciple of the Heaven-Shaken Sect before he even advanced in martial arts realm, as well as his reputation as a genius that was praised by others.

Now that they were in real danger, these people all had a different idea. Although they wouldn’t publicly oppose the decision, some of them had already started to question their decision. Some of them even suggested running away separately.

In this swamp, one or two people might not be able to deal with the dangers inside, but they were sure that they would be defeated one by one without being able to fight back.

He had to first mobilize everyone’s Qi, and then think about it. This thought flashed through Zhang Yueming’s mind, and then he said seriously: “Everyone here doesn’t know, the reason we are waiting for this time in the Nanxuan swamp is because we found a clue from our own sect’s ancient records, a hundred years ago, a traitor of my Heaven-Shaken Sect had once left a cave in the Nanxuan swamp where he lived. There should bortion of the treasures that he had collected hidden in this cave, and a magical equipment might very possibly exist in this cave!” (TN: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU)))))))

Sure enough, when everyone heard the reason for Zhang Yueming’s visit, they were immediately enlivened. One of the cultivators asked: “Martial Uncle Zhang, you said that there is a cave in the swamp, buundred years have passed, the cave was already dug by someone right?”

His father was rumored to have gone to Chenyu County a few days ago to take up the role of the guardian of the Shattered Rock Town. This time, since he had come to Chenyu County himself, this Senior Brother Xue introduced him to his son, but the meaning of his words was not to mention anything more.

Actually, it wasn’t just Xue Ziqi. The other young cultivators who were similar in age to him were mostly introduced to him by their father, wanting their children to be close to him and make friends with him.

After entering the sect, he was immediately accepted as a disciple by the second generation elders. He was alshird generation disciple like Xue Sheng and the other inner sect disciples, but because he was still young, these older senior brothers did not try to get close to him intentionally, and used their children to get close to him.

When Zhang Yueming heard Xue Ziqi’s question, he smiled and said: “It shouldn’t be, that cave is extremely secretive, if it wasn’t for the person who knows the location, he definitely wouldn’t have thought of it.”

Xue Ziqi thought about it for a while and said, “Even though Martial Uncle said that, after all, a hundred years have passed, how could we know that no one has been lucky enough to find a treasure deposit? If that’s really the case, then wouldn’t it be useless for us to enter the Nanxuan swamp this time? Furthermore, we have already exchanged blows with the disciples of the Tan Xi Sect twice, we have already broken senior brother Lu and junior brother Liang, and four or five of our fellow disciples were injured, so I think we should retreat out of the swamp first. You also said that the cave is extremely well-hidden, if no one discovered it, then we can do the same in the future! ”

Zhang Yueming slightly narrowed his eyes. He could tell that Xue Ziqi’s words had been acknowledged by some people, and some of the words that had passed through the two previous fights had already soothed their anger. Rather than calling it boredom, it would be better to say that they were afraid.

“Senior-apprentice Brother, what is the name of that traitorous disciple? What is in the treasures he left behind?” Xu Jing who was standing at the side suddenly asked.

Even though Xu Jing was only an outer sect disciple, sher luck was not bad. Because her Blue Ear Canon gave birth talent in secret arts, a second generation Heaven-Shaken Sect cultivator favored her and took her in. Although this second generation cultivator had never stepped into the realms of life, he had very high qualifications in the sect.

Zhang Yueming knew that Xu Jing was trying to help him, and as expected, the moment Xu Jing said those words, the other disciples all turned their attention to him, and even Xue Ziqi had an expression of complete concentration.

Laughing gratefully towards her, Zhang Yueming said: “His name is Yin Mo Ming, he is a genius cultivator of the martial arts realm formation oveundred years ago, and was once sentenced to death for stealing a treasure of our sect. However, before he died, he left a way out for himself to betray our sect, and this way is a cave in the Nanxuan swamp.”

“Because this person has long had the thought of betraying us, he has amassed a large portion of his wealth in this cave abode, including magical equipment!”

“A magical equipment!”

When the young cultivators heard this, their spirits were immediately lifted and their eyes began to shine!

That Xue Ziqi could not help but say: “Even if there were only one or two magic tools, I’m afraid they would still be in Martial Uncle Zhang’s possession.”.

When everyone heard this, they were silent again. Even if Yin Mo Ming was the genius in formations of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, to be able to obtain one or two magic tools was already an incredible feat. Even if he found the cave dwelling, the magic tools would not fall into their hands.

Zhang Yueming glanced at Xue Ziqi, and said indifferently: “I have said it before, this Yin Mo Ming is a genius in formation cultivation. He once created a completely new formation based on a sect’s inheritance of spirit arts, and when this formation opens, it requires an extremely important supporting object, which is the Wutu Earth Essence Stone!”

“Wutu Earth Essence Stone?”

With this, everyone could no longer remain calm. There was no one present who did not know about the effects of the Wutu Essence Stone.

However, he smiled and said: “Everyone also knows, our Heaven-Shaken Sect uses our earth attribute inheritance to spread rumors throughout the Yuzhou, and even the entire cultivation world, I think everyone should be extremely clear on the usage of the Wutu Essence Stone. This time around, of the ten people that entered the swamp, at least eight or nine of them are already at the fifth stage of the Mortal Realm, and the rest are all above the fourth stage.

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry up and go. What if those people chase us again to steal our treasures?”

Over a dozen of the young cultivators had long forgotten the fear brought about by their companion’s death. Even the three to four injured cultivators had already mustered their strength and spirit to continue chasing after Zhang Yueming in search of the cave treasure left behind by Yin Mo Ming.

“Humph!” Xu Jing suddenly snorted, seeing everyone’s surprised look, she then said with a cold face: “This time, Senior Zhang brought everyone into the swamp, and originally, he wanted to find a shortcut for everyone to breakthrough the martial arts realm, Senior Zhang waragmatic person, in order to avoid disappointment, he did not have the confidence that he would shoulder all the responsibility, but who would have thought that among the lot of you, there would be some people who suspected Senior Zhang’s intentions, so when they heard that he might have obtained the Earth Essence Stone, they probably forgot about the blame from the beginning.”

Everyone was looking at each other. Many of their faces were red, and a few of them had faces as angry as Xu Jing, but they were all staring at Xue Ziqi.

Xu Jing laughed coldly: “Of course, if there are still people who want to leave, then I think everyone should be very welcoming. After all, one person is missing, when the time comes, we can split the treasures with everyone!”

Xue Ziqi’s expression was anxious. He quickly lowered his head, burace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Yang Junshan was hiding behind a shrub in a swamp, strangling three mud snakes that had taken the opportunity to crawl to his side in an attempt to launch a sneak attack.

On a muddy field not far from the shrubbery, over twenty sixteen to seventeen years old young cultivators were gathered together, discussing something. Among them, there were two or three injured people.

The clothes of these twenty odd young cultivators were different from the people Yang Junshan saw on average, but Yang Junshan recognized that these people were definitely not from Yuxian. They were the cultivators from Tan Xi County, which was located right next to Chenyu County.

The Xi’an County was different from the Yuxian. Even though the county was also divided into different counties, it was not divided into different regions like the Yuxian, but was divided by the number of sects and the area they occupied.

This Tan Xi Sect was one of the sects in Tan Xi County. According to Yang Junshan’s knowledge, the Tan Xi Sect was ranked third among the Four Major Sects, and although he could not be compared to the Yuxian, he could not be underestimated.

“I really don’t understand. Since we know their tracks, the sect only needs to send two Martial Realm Cultivatoo sink them all into the swamp. Why would they send us to fight against these people?”

A plump youth found a dry rock and hurriedly sat on it while panting and complaining. It was obvious that this person should be the leader of these youth cultivators.

“Pig, you still have the nerve to say that we have double the number of the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s outer disciples, and ambushed them again, but we did not get the advantage. Now is not the time to complain, but to think of a way to complete the mission, if not we will not be able to lift our heads up when we return to the sect!”

A tall youth dusted off his hands and called the other leaders over.
