Wuliang Immortal Clan

Chapter 5 Survival Underground

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators, who were of similar age, let out a cold laugh, each secretly forming hand seals, ready to make a move at any moment.

"Chieftain!"

"Yinglong, what's wrong?"

The young man spoke first.

"I haven't paid my respects to Fellow Daoist Xu Zhenqie yet. Is Fellow Daoist Xu so badly injured that he can't even show his face to anyone?"

Upon hearing Ma Yinglong's words, Ma Benxin's face instantly creased with joy, each wrinkle seemingly radiating delight as he stared intently at Xu Xuanting.

"Yes, where is the head of your Xu family clan?"

Xu Xuanting suddenly produced a pair of iron balls in his hand. Upon seeing his action, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Ma family immediately took out their magical artifacts.

The spiritual energy between the three instantly emanated from their bodies and collided in mid-air.

Standing behind Xu Xuanting, Xu Yuanzhen's breath hitched, and his body flew backward uncontrollably.

In an instant, the world changed color, and spiritual energy flowed through it like bolts of lightning, about to strike.

"Old man, you're dead in a two-on-one situation."

Ma Benxin narrowed his eyes, revealing a cold and bloodthirsty light.

Xu Xuanting remained calm and focused his gaze on Ma Yinglong.

"It doesn't matter if I'm dead or not, this Fellow Daoist Ma will definitely be buried with me."

Ma Yinglong felt a chill creep up from the soles of his feet.

He had only recently established his foundation, so his strength was naturally inferior to that of Xu Xuanting, who had been immersed in cultivation for a century.

"Hmph, I'm not easily scared."

Ma Yinglong forced himself to say something harsh.

The two sides were on the verge of a fight when suddenly a figure landed between them.

Xu Xuanting immediately withdrew his spiritual power, while the two members of the Ma family took the opportunity to release their spiritual power. The next moment, their expressions changed drastically, and their spiritual power disappeared without a trace, as if a stone ox had entered the sea.

Immediately following, a surge of powerful energy rushed towards them, causing the two to stagger back a few steps as they hastily and awkwardly tried to dispel the spiritual energy.

"Xu Zhenqie!"

Ma Benxin's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Xu Zhenqie.

"This is Xu family territory, get out!"

As he uttered the last word, "roll," his voice suddenly rose.

The deafening roar, as loud as if splitting clouds and shattering rocks, transformed into waves of sound that spread out in a fan shape. In an instant, sand and stones flew everywhere, turning into dust while still in the air, before the sound waves slammed into the two members of the Ma family.

Both of them were cultivators, and the spiritual energy in their dantian automatically began to circulate, transforming into a spiritual energy shield around their bodies.

However, the sound waves tore them apart as easily as paper, and the two of them were thrown away by the sound waves. But since they were Foundation Establishment cultivators, they quickly regained their footing.

When the sound waves dissipated, Ma Yinglong and his companion were pale-faced and stared blankly at Xu Zhenqie, who had appeared in front of them, with fear still in their eyes.

"Xu Zhenqie, you're not hurt?"

Ma Yinglong's voice became shrill as he stared intently at Xu Zhenqie, who appeared calm and collected, and shouted incredulously.

"Hmph, get lost!"

Xu Zhenqie snorted coldly and made a move to attack again. When Ma Benxin saw this, he grabbed Ma Yinglong and ran away without saying a word.

"Haha, all that fancy footwork and no skill, and you still dare to cause trouble at our Xu family's place."

Xu Xuanting chuckled and mocked from behind, but after the other party disappeared into the distance, Xu Zhenqie suddenly clutched his chest.

"Pfft!"

He spat out a mouthful of black blood, and Xu Xuanting hurriedly supported his body, then transferred a wisp of spiritual energy to him.

"It's alright!"

Xu Zhenqie's complexion improved considerably, and she stood up straight again.

"I can handle those two bullies by myself."

Xu Xuanting spoke up, but Xu Zhenqie shook his head.

"If I hadn't shown up, they wouldn't have let it go. They would have been even more convinced that I was injured. My actions just now should have kept them quiet for seven or eight years."

After catching his breath, he looked at the Xu family members who were getting up from the ground with frightened expressions and quickly tried to comfort them.

"It's just a minor incident, everyone's alright."

The people present looked at each other, unsure how to answer. Finally, Xu Zhen'ao, who was of a higher seniority, stepped forward.

"Chief, you're alright!"

Xu Zhenqie nodded, glanced at the group and only looked at the Samsung Geng Gold Mine with relief when she saw that their clothes were just disheveled.

At this time, the appearance of the Samsung Geng Gold Mine has changed dramatically. On one side are towering mountains that look as if they were cut by a knife and axe. Several clear springs gushed out from the mountainside, cascading between the ravines and the mountain walls, and finally flying out of the mountain walls in a mighty rush.

Water droplets scattered, creating streaks of rainbows hanging across the waterfall, and the misty vapor added to the scene, making it look like a fairyland.

On the other side was a bottomless abyss, from which came low rumbling sounds, and something seemed to be climbing upwards from the darkness.

"It's a legacy!"

Upon seeing this scene, Xu Zhenqie immediately confirmed it.

"When a high-level cultivator dies, his legacy will naturally disperse to the surrounding area if there is no other intervention."

It may have turned into mineral veins, or it may have turned into rivers, lakes, and seas.

Of course, this process won't happen overnight; it will take some time, possibly several days or even months.

The cultivators present, seeing the still-trembling pit, couldn't help but bow.

Although it is unknown who left the legacy, it is a great thing for the Xu family.

"Clan leader, Yuan Lang is still down there, his fate unknown."

Xu Yuanzhen hurriedly spoke up, and Xu Zhenqie was stunned for a moment, then looked down and shook her head helplessly.

"Yuen Long has probably met with a terrible fate."

Xu Yuanlang, who had been sentenced to death by his own clan patriarch, struggled to crawl into a crevice.

Finally able to catch his breath, Xu Yuanlang looked around. The crack was only big enough for one person to fit in, and its surface was very rough, indicating that it had formed recently.

He looked into the depths of the crack, where it twisted and turned, leading to who-knows-where.

But now, if one wants to continue moving upwards, this is the only path left.

"Let's give it our all!"

He gritted his teeth, mustered his courage, and went inside.

In the darkness, he was unaware of the passage of time, but he sensed that two days had passed.

"Thump!"

As he walked, he suddenly heard his own footsteps echoing ahead, and he paused for a moment.

Is there a hole ahead?

He quickly took a few steps and saw bursts of red light emerging from around the corner ahead.

He crouched down and crawled out of the crack, his eyes widening in shock the next moment.

Before him lay a cave hundreds of feet in size, with a stone platform at its very center.

On the stone platform was a pill that shimmered with red light, and a rich fragrance of the pill permeated the surroundings.

Beside the elixir was a palm-sized jade bowl, which seemed to contain something, with a faint spiritual light emanating from it.

At the rim of the jade bowl, there seems to be a seal, sealing off what's inside.

"nice one!"

His heart pounded wildly, and without saying a word, he reached for the most conspicuous pill, just as he was about to touch it.

Suddenly, seven-colored tendrils sprouted from the back of his hand, taking root in the ground and rendering his hand immobile.
