Chapter 522: Encountering a Roadblock

Xiaoteng was taken aback. This monster's methods were truly unexpected. Fortunately, although the Piao Miao Flying Sword was important to him, it wasn't absolutely necessary. Even if he temporarily lo...(Unwavering recommendations, recommendations, recommendations! Dear readers, please cast your votes.)

Having taken in the essence and soul of the Deep Sea Cyan Demon Ape, Lu Xia Tian hadn't even had time to collect materials from its body when he sensed dozens of auras, large and small, converging from all directions.

The bloody smell attracted other monsters. Before, these monsters had fled far away because the two Deep Sea Azure Monkey Apes were fighting and their aura was too terrifying, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire. Now, they could no longer resist the temptation of the blood and rushed over from all directions. Lu Xiaoteng secretly cried out regretfully. He only took one monster core and didn't even have time to take the other one before hurriedly leaving. The monsters that came from all sides had varying strengths. As a lone human in this place, he was very likely to be attacked by various sea monsters. Lu Xiaoteng didn't want to take that risk. Moreover, being able to unexpectedly obtain such a powerful eighth-order monster essence was already a pleasant surprise. Now was not the time to be greedy.

However, since harvesting the demon beast's spirit of this deep-sea azure demon ape, Lu Xiaoteng's luck has never been so good again, and he even rarely encounters even seventh-order demon beasts.

However, Lu Xia Tian didn't care. He spent four years in this sea area. Adding it up, Lu Xia Tian had been in the Jindan period for thirty years at this point. He was still confined to the early stage of Jindan, but in terms of the solidity of his mana, it was incomparable to when he first formed his golden core. His every move now carried a more condensed aura. At this time, the Bagua Lock Demon Array had also been completely completed. However, even then, he still hadn't encountered the rumored Misty Hall.

Lu Xiaoteng wasn't in a hurry because he noticed that the signs of human cultivators he encountered had increased over this period. Before, it was possible that he wouldn't meet even one over several months. After all, the sea was vast and endless. Although many cultivators hunted demon beasts, they were scattered across the vast ocean like a drop in the bucket. Lu Xiaoteng had also been making every effort to avoid encountering other cultivators.

Lú Xiǎotiān couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. Perhaps these cultivators, who had recently reappeared, were also here for the legendary Miǎo Miǎo Hall

If so, it means his wait here was just right. Unexpectedly, more people appeared than he had imagined.

"Hmm" After dodging several people in a row, Lu Xia Tian felt another cultivator approaching him. Lu Xia Tian frowned and changed direction, fleeing. He didn't go far before encountering another cultivator who happened to appear directly in front of him.

“Are these people here for me” Lu Xiaotien’s face darkened slightly. He drew out his splitting earth sword and was about to make a move, but the other party sent several people to surround him from all sides. He couldn't let the other party completely encircle him before making a move. He had to break through the encirclement first.

"Lu Daoist, wait a moment, we can be considered old friends." A gray-robed cultivator dashed over from the side and shouted loudly.

“As it turns out, it’s Daoist Zhao. What a pleasant surprise.” Lu Xia Tian narrowed his eyes, not expecting to run into Zhao Nanxing of the Tianhai Pavilion here. Back when he was still a Qi Refining cultivator, he had sparred on behalf of Fu Dongming at Zhao Nanxing’s invitation. His talent in formations had impressed Zhao Nanxing, who later wanted to invite him to explore a secret realm together. However, Lu Xia Tian waited for over twenty years in Lan Ming City but never received any news from the other party, so he assumed it had fallen through. Besides, he had been traveling east and west ever since, focusing on strengthening his cultivation. He had put aside that matter, after all, Zhao Nanxing probably wouldn't have invited him if he didn't have other plans. If he forced himself into the situation, he might even incur Zhao Nanxing's wrath. The other party was from Tianhai Pavilion, whose influence wasn’t insignificant. It was something he couldn't afford to provoke.

It was just unexpected that after thirty years, the two of them would meet here. It's a bit strange, and even stranger is that Zhao Nanzhang's secret place he wants to explore is very likely also the Misty Palace.

"I didn't expect to meet fellow cultivator Lu here. We haven't seen each other for decades, and fellow cultivator Lu has already become a Golden Core cultivator. Your cultivation base seems quite deep. It seems that fellow cultivator Lu has good aptitude, and the path to Nascent Soul will be promising in the future." Lu Xiaoteng was surprised. At this time, Zhao Nanzhang was even more astonished. After all, when they first met Lu Xiaoteng, Lu Xiaoteng still had to call him senior. Now, they were equals, and there was almost no fluctuation in Lu Xiaoteng's aura, which made Zhao Nanzhang deeply shocked.

“Lao Zhao, that old woman talks too much. What's this kid's background If it's just a chance encounter, I’ll take care of him first and then talk.” A middle-aged man with his shirt off, had a large blue birthmark covering half his face. He held a weapon resembling a fishing rod used by ordinary fishermen, and glared at Lu XiaTian with displeasure.

Lu Xiaotien kept a calm face, but he was carefully sizing up the five other people who had surrounded him, thinking about which direction would be most advantageous to break through if he had to fight. But very quickly, Lu Xiaotien's heart skipped a beat. Another elder in blue Daoist robes, the red-browed elder with drooping eyebrows, shot forward like a meteor chasing the moon. It was Chiyun Sang who had been transported from Lanming City to Lishui City with him four years ago, a powerful cultivator at the late stage of Jindan!

Since Chi Yun Sang's appearance, Lu Xia Tian felt more at ease. Chi Yun Sang was faster than him by a considerable margin; even with the Black and White Dual Pots, it would be difficult to completely escape her grasp.

“Fellow cultivator, I think we’ve met before.” Chi Yun Sang frowned and glanced at Lu Xiaodao.

“My esteemed friend from the Equator, you’re busy with important matters. Four years ago, I was accompanied by my friend from the Equator as we were teleported from Lanming City to Lishui City,” Lu Xia Tian said with a respectful expression.

"So that's how it is, I said why I felt the fellow Taoist was somewhat familiar. Daoist Zhao, our group already has quite a number of people, there's no need to add another one. You tell us, what's the reason for making everyone work so hard to intercept this person" Chiyun Sang inserted his hands into the wide sleeves of his robe and scanned Zhao Nannan.

Lu Xiaotien's heart sank. This Chi Yun Sang was not only powerful, but also cunning and shrewd. He didn't seem to feel anything about them coming to Lishui City together. Instead, he said Lu Xiaotien was superfluous, but he didn't say how he would deal with him. This left Lu Xiaotien feeling uneasy. The feeling of being inferior to others and having one's life and death in the hands of another was really unpleasant.

“The Daoist of the Equator may not know this, but this land-dwelling friend, though young in years, possesses a profound understanding of formations, far surpassing all of us here.” Facing Chi Yun Sang’s inquiry, Zhao Nanxing hurriedly said.

"So that's how it is. I said you went to such lengths to have me wait and intercept this person, so he's an array master. Since Old Man Du died, we haven't had anyone who could break arrays. Seeing as that ghostly place is about to appear, we can only watch helplessly." The middle-aged man with a green birthmark on his face put away his fish spear and said gleefully, "In that case, we really can't hurt him."
