Chapter 515 - 515 514 Ancient Demon Beast

515: Chapter 514 Ancient Demon Beast 515: Chapter 514 Ancient Demon Beast Zhao Ziqi trembled slightly upon hearing this, then looked towards Lin Xuan.

Just at that moment, she felt an urge to scream for help but managed to suppress it forcefully.

She knew that Lin Xuan definitely couldn’t defeat Fairy Yuqingcheng, but if Lin Xuan decided to leave, these people might not be able to stop him.

Regardless of the outcome for Lin Xuan, she knew she would be the first to die.

Thus, she was extremely tense and dared not reveal any flaws.

Fortunately, their disguise was convincing and did not arouse Yu Qingcheng’s suspicion.

Lin Xuan also had a thought, with his treasure-hunting skills, he would eventually encounter other major forces, which might also incite a great battle.

It might be better to follow the team from Moon Embracing Pavilion, which would allow him to secretly seek treasures and avoid unnecessary trouble.

Thinking this, he showed a hint of excitement and said, bowing with his hands clasped, “Thank you, Fairy.”

Lin Xuan had already secretly handed over the Dead Divine Wood to Lord of Wine.

Given Lord of Wine’s soul state, he required spiritual medicine that nourished the soul.

Lin Xuan and Zhao Ziqi joined the Moon Embracing Pavilion’s team.

The group set off towards the depths of the palace.

The team’s rule was simple: whoever found the item would own it, and if it was a team effort, it would be distributed according to the corresponding Contribution Points.

“There seems to be the presence of Demon Beasts ahead,” said a disciple of Moon Embracing Pavilion.

“Let’s check it out,” Fairy Qingcheng decided, waving her Jade Hand and leading everyone forward.

Before long, they came across a round iron door on the wall, bearing an Ancient Prohibition.

“This is a team action, and items will be allocated according to individual Contribution Points, so everyone, show your skills without holding back!” Yu Qingcheng stated.

Apart from six disciples from Moon Embracing Pavilion, the rest were from five-star Affiliated Sects.

Among them were many who were adept in Arrays and Prohibition, their eyes shining as they quickly moved to the iron door to begin breaking the Prohibition.

Lin Xuan’s gaze flickered, he too had some knowledge about Prohibition Arrays.

However, he didn’t make a move since he didn’t want to expose too much of his strength, nor was he interested in the Contribution Points.

He had his special methods of searching for treasures.

Soon, the Prohibition was broken, and everyone together forced the black iron door open.

Boom, boom!

Behind the door, a circular opening was revealed, and a dense Demon Energy wafted out.

This Demon Energy caused many to change expressions; judging from the aura, most of the creatures inside were probably eight or ninth level Demon Beasts.

Nevertheless, with many people in the team and Fairy Qingcheng, a Supreme Genius, overseeing, they were not overly fearful.

After some preparation, Fairy Qingcheng led the people into the circular opening.

The interior was a Grotto Heaven, not a regular room, but rather something akin to a cave.

The deeper they went, the denser the Demon Energy became.

Lin Xuan, following with the group, suddenly furrowed his brows and secretly instructed Zhao Ziqi to prepare for defense.

At this moment, Yu Qingcheng too commanded, “Everyone, prepare for defense, Demon Beasts are attacking.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled and quickly activated their defenses.

Sure enough, the next moment, a flood of black shadows flew from within the cave, swooping towards the crowd.

Lin Xuan looked closely and saw that the shadows were huge bloodsucking bats.

Their eyes were blood-red, exuding a thick scent of blood.

These bloodsucking bats each had the strength of Spirit Transformation Realm Martial Artists; though not very high, their numbers were vast.

“Take action!

Quick battle, quick decision; don’t let them surround us!” Fairy Qingcheng declared in a stern voice.

The team consisted of about twenty people, and at this moment, they all made their moves, and the scene was terrifying.

In an instant, countless bloodsucking bats were exploded into a blood mist.

However, even more bloodsucking bats flew out from the depths of the cave, covering the sky and seeming endless.

“We can’t hold them off, there are too many bloodsucking bats!”

“If only Ziqi were here, she is an expert in beast taming, she’d definitely be able to quickly handle these bats!” a disciple of Moon Embracing Pavilion sighed.

“Forget it, no use talking about it, just fight!”

Lin Xuan, blending in with the crowd, easily swatted away the bloodsucking bats near him.

He transmitted his voice to Zhao Ziqi, “Do you have a way to drive away these bloodsucking bats?”

Zhao Ziqi paused to ponder for a moment, then transmitted her voice back, “These are Dark Night Bloodsucking Bats, they are ancient demon beasts left over from the past.”

“These types of demon beasts are the most frenzied, and they won’t stop until they are sated with blood.”

“However, the Dark Night Bloodsucking Bat also has a very distinct characteristic, it follows commands to an extreme.”

“If we can find the Bat King, we can definitely control them.”

“There must be a Bat King deep inside this cave!”

“Understood,” Lin Xuan said.

Then he pretended to be scared and shouted, “Oh my goodness, these ordinary bats are already at the Spirit Transformation Realm level of cultivation, isn’t the leader deep inside even stronger?”

“Since we haven’t ventured too deep, why not retreat now?”

At these words, many cast contemptuous glances his way.

However, Yu Qingcheng seemed to catch on to something.

She then said in a grave voice, “Break through quickly, there should be a leader like the Bat King inside.

If we can deal with the Bat King, these ordinary bats should fall apart on their own.”

“This woman isn’t too dumb,” Lin Xuan mused with a slight smile.

Zhao Ziqi covered her face slightly, her mouth twitching.

This guy, to think he could even convey messages this way.

Yu Qingcheng led the charge, her palms dancing fiercely, and with each strike, a swath of bloodsucking bats fell.

With her cultivation at the Late Stage of Spirit Communication Realm, dealing with these Spirit Transformation Realm demon beasts was very easy, like cutting vegetables.

Besides her, several other powerful Mid Spirit Communication Realm martial artists followed closely behind, quickly advancing deeper into the cave.

Soon, from the depths of the cave, a desperate and irate roar echoed out, the sound waves like a tidal wave, making everyone’s breaths churn.

This sound wave made the ordinary bloodsucking bats attacking extremely agitated; these bats no longer attacked Lin Xuan and the others but flew back towards the inside of the cave.

Like a black tide, they rapidly retreated.

“Go, quickly help Fairy Qingcheng!” someone in the team also quickly followed.

“Little Xuanzi, watch out for the ground around us!” Lord of Wine suddenly transmitted his voice.

During this time, Lord of Wine had been recuperating, and now that he spoke up, something very important must be afoot.

Lin Xuan activated his Soul Power to probe toward the ground and the corners around him.

At first, he noticed nothing, but as time passed, he saw a subtle difference.

The fight just now was extremely fierce, with roughly a thousand demon beasts killed, some exploding directly into a blood mist, others splitting open; bodies were piled up everywhere.

And the blood had even formed little rivers.

Through his Soul Power, Lin Xuan discovered that the blood was seeping into the ground at a speed faster than normal.

“Something underground is absorbing the blood!” Lin Xuan was shocked, without careful conjecture it would have been impossible to notice.

But what exactly it was, he couldn’t determine.

“Anyway, be more careful,” Lord of Wine cautioned.

Lin Xuan nodded.

It seemed he had been somewhat careless; originally, he thought that dealing with the Bat King would be enough, not realizing that a greater danger lay underground.
