Chapter 818 Seizing food from the tiger’s mouth
"Do you threaten me?"
Cang Lian's expression darkened slightly, and he stared down at Yan Lan with his eyes lowered.
Yanlan didn't even bother to reply, turning to leave with a resolute attitude that made Canglian's face turn even darker, like the bottom of a pot.
"Wait a minute. Considering the ties between my Cang family and the Amorous Sword Sect, let's do as you just suggested. After we go down into the Blood Moon Spring, we'll each rely on our own abilities. No matter what happens down there, once we get ashore, we're not allowed to hold each other accountable. How about that?"
Seeing Cang Lian compromise, Zhao Mu couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He hadn't expected this little sword king to be so powerful. In comparison, the Cang family guy was rather incompetent.
Of course, this also made him realize that among those who entered this ancient city ruins, there were those even more powerful than the Canglian team in front of him. To be honest, this was not good news.
The stronger the team, the more competitive they will be in seizing opportunities here.
In other words, their squad...
"it is good!"
Yanlan stopped and turned back to approach Blood Moon Spring again. Lu Ran and the others were slightly surprised. As expected of the Little Sword King, even the Cang family had to compromise in front of him.
However, they had overheard the conversation between the two.
Are only those who cultivate physical strength allowed to go into the water?
Aside from Zhao Mu and two other body cultivators, wouldn't the rest of them just be left watching, with the opportunities here having nothing to do with them?
"Let's begin, just in case something else goes wrong."
Cang Lian urged, since Yan Lan could find this place, others could too. Compared to others, the rabble that Yan Lan brought was obviously easier to deal with.
There were only three body cultivators, and all of them were at the Void Realm.
Once he's in the water, what competitive advantage can he have? He might even be completely destroyed by others, and Yanlan can't do anything about it.
"Brother Zhao, we're counting on you!"
Yanlan walked to Zhao Mu's side and whispered a request, even changing her address from Fellow Daoist Zhao to Brother Zhao. Clearly, the Six Desires Crystal was very important to her.
"Ok!"
Zhao Mu nodded. If he wasn't particularly interested in the Blood Moon Spring before, things were different now, because the Cang family members had been drawn here, which meant that there were other treasures below besides the Six Desires Crystal.
And it is highly likely to be a treasure that is beneficial to physical cultivation.
"Be careful of that Cang Lian, he's not simple."
"How does it compare to Cangli and Canglin?"
"They are evenly matched."
"Ah."
With that said, they had a general idea. Without saying a word, Zhao Mu jumped into the Blood Moon Spring, followed by the other two body cultivators. As for the others, they stayed on the shore under Yan Lan's leadership, keeping a close watch.
Their alliance with the Cang family was temporary.
Of course, things are completely different under Blood Moon Spring.
As soon as he entered the water, Cang Lian gave the other three a signal: Kill!
If he doesn't respond to Yanlan's provocation, he'll become a laughingstock, seen as nothing more than a lowly servant girl.
Gululu~
After entering the Blood Moon Spring, Zhao Mu did not immediately search for the Six Desires Crystal. Instead, he used the Flicking Sleeve Shadow and the Speed Amplification Secret Technique to quickly penetrate deeper and then hide.
The Blood Moon Spring doesn't appear very large on the surface, but its underwater space is extremely vast, and no one even knows how deep it is.
The light below dimmed, completely concealing their form.
"Only two were found; the other one is still missing."
After the Cang family went into the water, they didn't rush to look for opportunities. Instead, they first went to find Zhao Mu and his two companions, intending to kill them first.
"Then let's kill these two first."
A fierce glint flashed in Cang Lian's eyes.
"The body..."
"No need to cover it up, just let it float to the surface. It'll be a good lesson for Yanlan."
"Ok!"
After discussing their plan, the four immediately surrounded the two body cultivators from four directions.
How could an ordinary Void Realm body cultivator be a match for the four members of the Cang family? He only lasted for less than a quarter of an hour before his head was smashed open, and his body floated to the surface of the water due to buoyancy.
"Little Sword King, look!"
Not long after they went down into the water, two corpses surfaced. Upon seeing that they were from their own camp, Lü Ran couldn't help but worry about Zhao Mu.
After all, this time the opponent is the Cang family, and there is also a fourth-level expert, so the number is four to one.
"This Canglian is really..."
A shadow flashed in Yanlan's eyes. Although she knew this would be the outcome, she was still furious when she saw it with her own eyes. The Cang family was really going too far. Instead of searching for treasures first, they started killing people.
However, Yanlan wasn't too nervous, because these two body cultivators were just cannon fodder.
The real core lies with Zhao Mu.
Her hopes rested on this guy.
"Brother Zhao, I hope you won't disappoint me!"
Yanlan prayed silently in her heart, while also starting to consider what she had to offer in return for Zhao Mu's success.
This guy is no ordinary cannon fodder; he's not easy to fool.
Of course, she didn't intend to fool Zhao Mu; there was really no need.
On the other hand, the Cang family members crossed their arms and looked at Yanlan and the others with mocking expressions, as if to say, "We told you to leave a long time ago, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened, you're all dead!"
Beneath the Blood Moon Spring, Zhao Mu, hidden in the shadows, witnessed firsthand the combined malice of Cang Lian and his three companions.
"He does have some strength, but he's still far behind Cang Lin, who is at the Fourth Extreme Realm."
Although the battle was very short, it was enough for Zhao Mu to get a general understanding of the strength of these people. They were strong, but that was all. He definitely couldn't beat them, but they also had no chance of defeating him.
"It's starting to sink, and the direction is so clear. It seems I guessed right; there really are other opportunities down there."
Zhao Mu didn't think that Cang Lian and the others were after the Six Desires Crystal.
Keep up.
The advantage of his powerful soul began to manifest. He followed Cang Lian and the others from a distance, and because he was beyond the range of divine sense detection, they could not detect him at all.
As for the naked eye, it's even more incomparable. The light here is already dim. Unless you have a particularly powerful pupil technique, you can only see up to ten feet in front of you, which is nothing compared to the range of divine sense.
One hundred zhang, two hundred zhang...
They quickly descended thousands of feet, and as the depth increased, the pressure on their bodies also increased.
Of course, Zhao Mu didn't feel much.
"Huh? Stopped?"
Zhao Mu stopped abruptly and observed from the shadows. He not only possessed a powerful divine sense, but also Ji Qingyue's innate pupil technique. At this distance, he could clearly see the location of Cang Lian and the others.
A huge, blood-red rock, about the size of three water vats.
When Cang Lian and the other three saw this item, their faces were full of excitement, and they were muttering something to themselves.
"Netherblood Crystal...for tempering the physical body..."
"Hmph, it really is a treasure."
"Then... I'll gladly accept it!"
Zhao Mu's lips curled slightly. Using the speed amplification technique, he stepped on the Flickering Shadow and appeared in front of the Netherblood Crystal in the blink of an eye, then snatched it away.
