Chapter 344: Chapter 0263: Isn’t He Still at His Mercy? Chapter 344: Chapter 0263: Isn’t He Still at His Mercy? Chapter 0263: They Are Still at His Mercy, Right?

Just as these half-step Golden Core cultivators hesitated at the entrance of the cave, a gust of wind suddenly blew from the depths of the cave. The wind didn’t last for long, just a few seconds, but it carried an incredibly dense Spirit Qi, perhaps equivalent to a middle-grade spirit stone. It blew straight up from the bottom of the cave, flew from the entrance of the cave, passing right before these half-step Golden Core cultivators, then into the air outside.

Those who can cultivate to the half-step Golden Core are always keenly sensitive to the Spirit Qi. This sudden burst of dense Spirit Qi put their hesitations to rest.

It’s an opportunity for the Gold Core! It must be the Gold Core opportunity.

Such dense Spirit Qi could indicate an incredibly high-grade cave heaven and blessed land, or equally high-grade treasure at the bottom of the cave. Only then could such good Qi be released. If they can take possession of such a cave heaven and blessed land or treasure, advancement to the Gold Core would be trivial.

“Fellow cultivators, let me go first to scout the way,” Peng Yansong was the first to release his flying sword, heading straight into the cave.

“Brother Peng, wait. Let’s go together.”

…

How could the other half-step Golden Core cultivators allow Peng Yansong and his companions to have the upper hand? They swiftly followed suit, rushing into the cave as well.

Not only were the half-step Golden Core cultivators guarding the entrance of the cave attracted by the high concentration of Spirit Qi emitted from within the cave, but even the cultivators in the sky who were battling the Six Demons of the Soul-Stealing Sect were drawn. They all realized what such high Spirit Qi meant.

The allure of a Gold Core opportunity was undoubtedly greater than the task of dealing with the Six Demons of the Soul-Stealing Sect. Why else were they gathered here? They stayed for so many days despite numerous inconveniences, and refused to leave. Why did they let themselves be tricked by the Six Demons of the Soul-Stealing Sect? Ultimately, wasn’t it all for the chance at a Gold Core opportunity?

The Gold Core opportunity was right before their eyes — everything else could be abandoned. Even if it meant killing the Six Demons of the Soul-Stealing Sect or avenging their fallen family and friends, they could surely wait till they’ve secured the Gold Core opportunity. They must remember that the number of Gold Core opportunities were limited. There may only be one chance in the cave. If they go for it, maybe they could seize this only chance. Eventually they could achieve the Gold Core, sitting proud underneath the endless sky. If they did not try, they would surely miss the Gold Core opportunity, remaining mediocre Foundation Stage cultivators who depend on the Golden Core cultivators to survive.

Precisely without much consideration, these Foundation Establishment stage cultivators and half-step Golden Core cultivators battling the Six Demons of the Soul-Stealing Sect, withdrew from the battle. They started to rush to the entrance of the huge cave, from the sky.

Originally, the Six Demons of the Soul-Stealing Sect was struggling under the attacks of so many cultivators that they were on the brink of defeat. If the fight continued, they could have caused casualties to the Six Demons, and even have the chance to annihilate them. However, the sudden withdrawal of the cultivators gave the Six Demons a chance to escape narrowly.

The Six Demons of the Soul-Stealing Sect paused in the sky, trying to catch their breath.

“Big brother, should we try our luck?” one of the Six Demons asked.

The leader of the Six Demons plunged into silence. To be honest, he didn’t want his brothers to risk their lives, but the chance of a Gold Core was right in front of them. If he dared to tell his brothers not to go for it, he would be ruining their future. This act was no less devastating than murdering their parents. Their brotherly bond would never be the same.

The Six Demons of the Soul-Stealing Sect meticulously planned this trap and created the Wanhun Condensed Pill Array. If everything had gone smoothly according to their plan, the thousands of cultivators trapped in the array would have all met their death. They would then have collected thousands of souls and cultivation resources. Distributing these souls and resources among the six brothers, they all could have possibly achieved the Gold Core.

If that had been the case, even if there were a Gold Core opportunity in the present quake, he, as the leader, would have the confidence to persuade his brothers. But unfortunately, the Wanhun Condensed Pill Array was destroyed. The collected souls and cultivation resources were only enough to support one of them to achieve the Gold Core. The other five could only watch helplessly. Who could accept it when their turn comes?

Taking the risk of attracting the enmity of all cultivators worldwide, if the chance of a Gold Core didn’t fall onto them, who would be willing to accept such an outcome?

The leader of the Six Demons was certain that if he proposed withdrawal, the other five demons might conspire to kill him first, then venture into the cave for the Gold Core opportunities.

“Let’s go! We, the six brothers, go in together. When brothers unite in purpose, they can cut through metal. We, the six brothers, once used the Wanhun Condensed Pill Array to manipulate them. Therefore, this time around, as long as we, brothers, unite again, we shall definitely seize the Gold Core opportunities inside the cave. Then, the six of us can jointly achieve the Gold Core. At that point, who in this big world can stop us?” leading by example, the leader of the Six Demons flew toward the entrance of the cave.

Following the Six Demons, hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators entered the cave.
