Chapter 470: Chapter 470: Qingyun Sect, Seeking the Flame!

"Here, there is a Spiritual Fire."

A man in green shouted with excitement.

"I told you," another man beside him grabbed his sword, waved it skillfully in his hand to form a sword flower, and tossed it onto his back.

As if the sword had a spirit of its own, it floated directly behind him.

"That noise must be from some people fighting over there. Besides, with so many sects around, our chances of getting anything are slim."

They had just come from the site of the exploded transmission bell, arriving just in time to hear the nearby combat.

Where there is a fight, treasures often emerge.

They had come specifically to hunt for treasures.

As they approached, they saw a huge blaze of fire.

In the very center of the fire, there was a faint flame, which led them to speculate that it must be a Spiritual Fire!

Now that they had landed, the scent of the Spiritual Fire had not yet fully dissipated from the air, confirming their suspicions.

"The Spiritual Fire has been snatched away, someone has previously killed an opponent using a Fire Control Technique."

The third man, who had not spoken until then, squatted down, picked up some soil, sniffed it, and then scattered it in the air.

"The corpse has been burned to ash, which means the person who got the fire knows how to control fire!"

"Big brother," the man in green said immediately upon hearing this conclusion, "The first-rate sects aren’t skilled in Fire Control, and neither are the second-rate ones. By that logic, it could only be Casting Gear Pavilion or Heavenly Pill Pavilion, those two third-rate sects!"

All five men in the group had a gleam in their eyes.

They dared not offend first-rate sects.

The odds against second-rate sects were fifty-fifty.

But third-rate sects...

Were there for the taking!

"However," the leader still remained cautious, "Of the third-rate sects from the Eastern Domain, there are only Casting Gear Pavilion and Heavenly Pill Pavilion. But we’re not very familiar with the sects from the other four domains, so we still need to be careful."

"You’re right, big brother," they agreed in reverence.

They realized their thinking had been too simplistic.

"However, that likelihood is very small. And even if there are sects from other domains, if we do a clean job, they won’t find their way to the Eastern Domain, will they? To put it nicely, we are all proud talents of this generation. But to speak bluntly, we’re just ordinary people who have just set foot on the Immortal Path."

In the mundane world, those in the Qi Refinement Realm could be called Immortal Masters.

But in the Cultivation World, the Foundation Establishment Stage was just the threshold. Unless one had outstanding talent, no one would care much.

"So, do we go search for the fire now, or..."

"No rush," the leader said with a smile, "The commotion here might attract others. We should be the stealthy oriole, not the praying mantis caught by surprise!"

The junior brothers understood and each took up their swords, all turning their gaze toward a nearby cave.

"Let’s take a look over there. The others who have found this place surely wouldn’t expect that someone would not be in a hurry to find the Spiritual Fire but would wait here instead!"

Their advantage lay in the fact that upon entering the secret realm, they quickly grouped together.

This alone gave them an edge over most second-rate sects.

Only because...

They were Sword Cultivators from the Qingyun Sect!

Each person’s sword carried a unique aura, and because of the sword techniques they practiced, their flying swords resonated with each other. They were also well prepared before entering the secret realm.

Lu Chen certainly did not expect that he would encounter five Qingyun Sect members when he just wanted to rest a bit.

At that moment, he hid at the bottom of the cave, his mind fully immersed in his body, continuously transforming the Five Elements Spiritual Power into the force of the Spiritual Fire.

Meanwhile, his body autonomously absorbed the Spiritual Power in the air, which was then converted into Five Elements Spiritual Power by the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method!

But even so, by the time these five Qingyun Sect Sword Cultivators discovered Lu Chen, he had recovered only to about sixty to seventy percent of his capability.

"Big brother, there’s someone ahead!"

Feeling the circulation of Spiritual Power, the five Sword Cultivators all stopped at once, holding their breath and focusing their senses. After realizing that the other party had not detected them, the leader made a throat-slitting gesture.

Murder to silence a witness!

The five of them moved stealthily and quietly toward the bottom of the cave.

They could not see anyone, but they could locate the concentration of Spiritual Power by the direction of its flow!

They could faintly make out Lu Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground!
