reely, with the vanishing stone now depleted, it was a rare opportunity. Lu Xiaoteng could no longer use the Zhenhuan Ice Eye. He immediately informed Guihuo Zhenren and Longshi inside the Moving Mirr...“The number of spirit beings is limited. If we could eliminate some people in advance, it wouldn't be a bad idea.” After four waves had arrived, Niu Qin had already shown his intention to cooperate, and the woman in white didn't refuse Niu Qin's meaning.

“With so many people arriving, it's clear that each of you possesses some skill to reach this place. This suddenly appearing secret realm is unknown to how many cultivation worlds it connects to. The cultivators who come to this secret realm are from all corners of the earth. It's unclear how high their cultivation levels are or how many there are in total. Even if you can drive us away now, or even kill us, who can guarantee that more people won't arrive”

Lu XiaTian smiled faintly, showing no fear at all towards Niu Qin and the middle-aged woman in white's proposal.

“This fellow speaks the truth. Too many people have entered the secret realm. Even if we could kill those in front of us, how could we possibly kill them all” The ghost-faced man in black spoke in a voice as rough and unpleasant as shattering pottery.

Lu Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat. When he returned to the Blood Gourd Island, he felt that the two pottery figurines had ulterior motives. However, it wasn't his concern, and Lu Xia Tian was too lazy to meddle in other people's affairs. He only wanted to return to 望月 and didn't ask further questions.

Just from the sound of their voices, Lu Xia Tian could almost be certain that this ghost-faced man in black had some kind of connection to the two terracotta statues on Xuehu Island.

Then he recalled when he was in the foundation-building stage, he was injured by Emperor Kun's ice-blue flames, leaving him half-paralyzed and unable to walk. Later, he went to Jiuxing Lake to get Yuyu fish to heal his wounds. Along with Yuan Min, Zhao's grandson and others, they entered the underwater secret cave and encountered a large number of terracotta puppet attacks. One-Yuan Heavy Water Illusion Array.

Seeing the Ghost-Faced Man in Black appear, even the Zhao clan members changed their expressions slightly. Could it be that there was a past grievance between these Zhao people and the terracotta figures like the Ghost-Faced Man

Just by briefly connecting past events, Lu Xia Tian felt that his guess was probably very close to the truth.

If there are grudges, they should be put to good use. Niu Qin could team up with the Zhao clan in just a few words, wouldn't he himself become dead if that were the case

Lu Xiaotian's only goal was to obtain the Lingmai Crystal Jade. He didn't care much about the feud between the Zhao Clan and the masked men in black. Once he got the Lingmai Crystal Jade, he would leave immediately, not wanting to get involved in such pointless disputes.

"The spirit within this ancient Yue Cave is extraordinary. Although it's right before our eyes, no one has ever managed to obtain it. This clearly isn't by chance. Even if we manage to drive off a couple of competitors now and break through the barrier, it would be pointless. It's better for us to brainstorm together on how to open the barrier first. After that, we can each use our own skills. When the time comes, whoever gets the prize will have earned it. As for past grudges, we can settle them then – revenge for those who seek it, and retribution for those wronged. What do you all think"

Lu Qian possessed the Thunder Escape technique, and he himself had the Purple Void Fire Escape Technique. However, the Spirit Marrow Crystal Jade was not the most valuable among these spiritual objects. Lu Xia Tian felt that the possibility of obtaining this object was quite high. As for what the Eight-legged Demon Bull Beast sought, in the current situation, Lu Xiao Tian could only do his best to help when he could. For now, there was no better way.

"Well, I agree with what this Daoist Lu said. What do you think If you want to deal with Daoist Lu right now, I won't stand idly by."

The man in black with a ghostly mask was openly protective of Lu Xia Tian. While Lu Xia Tian simply thanked him verbally and didn't dwell on it, the current situation was precarious. If Niu Qin and several Zhao family members teamed up to drive them away, the balance would shift significantly against the ghost-faced masked man and Emperor Kun's group. As long as they weren't foolish, they wouldn't stand by and watch this equilibrium crumble.

Seeing the situation become subtly different again, Qiao Lan and the eight-legged demonic bull beast didn't think Lu Xia Tian's actions were inappropriate at all.

“Brother Niu, with the situation like this, we can only see how things develop from here.” Lu Xia Tian transmitted his voice to the Eight-legged Demon Ox.

“Lu brother, I know the difficulty. There’s no other way.” The eight-legged demon ox beast nodded solemnly. In such a chaotic situation, let alone following the original plan to seize the spirit objects, even one's life couldn't be guaranteed.

"Besides that, I have one more thing to say. Those who arrive later and are not acquaintances of those present, if they want to come in and claim the treasure for themselves, we should unite to eliminate them." The tenth-level elder of the Giant Stone Clan, Yin Ce, said menacingly.

Lu XiaTian glanced at this person. The Giant Stone Clan had many branches, and he had both friends and enemies among them. This elder was undoubtedly a cruel person. In case of a conflict of interest, if they truly clashed in the future, there would be no room for sentimentality. There were only a few members of the Giant Stone Clan who were friendly with him.

Though this man was ruthless, his words were indeed in line with his thoughts. The Blood Cauldron Demon Refining Array needed more Nascent Soul offerings to unleash its full power. Otherwise, with insufficient Nascent Soul offerings, it could only deal with early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators or pose no threat to mid-stage Nascent Souls, offering relatively limited help to Lu Xia Tian.

“My friend, your words are very reasonable. Breaking through this barrier and vying for treasures, we have enough people here who are already dangerous. Adding more people would probably add a few variables.” Since it was in his own interest, Lu Xia Tian directly voiced his support.

"Well, even if they are familiar with us, we still need to expel them. Otherwise, if one side's forces increase more, wouldn't the others be at a disadvantage" The Bull Demon King Niu Qin added.

"That's a good point," Lu Xia Tian agreed directly. Although Qingdan Palace and Gu Jianzong also had their disciples enter the secret realm, it was unclear whether they had entered this ancient Yue Dongfu within Yunmen. However, in the face of a treasure, there was no reason for them to back down. As long as they didn't directly fight with them, it wouldn't be a big deal.

"This barrier has existed for a very long time and is incredibly solid. Could someone skilled in formations and restrictions break through this barrier If there is such a person, it wouldn't hurt to let them choose treasures first." Zhao Xin, the white-clothed middle-aged woman, said.

Lu Xiaitian let out a cold snort in his heart. For most people, the spirit objects inside were almost indispensable, especially the Haoyuan Key Grass which could allow cultivators in the early stage of Nascent Soul to advance to the middle stage. There was no reason to give it up. Once the restriction was broken, it would be a fight to the death. Besides, there weren't as many blood oath talismans to bind them. A few verbal promises were meaningless for these people who had lived for hundreds of years.

"All formations and restrictions have their weaknesses and limits. Even brute force can break them. Once a restriction exceeds its limit, it will collapse. All of you here, with over twenty Nascent Soul cultivators, have the potential to break this ancient Moon Cave's restriction together. After all, these restrictions have existed for countless years and are undoubtedly weaker than during their prime. With everyone working together, there is hope."

At this time, a tall and graceful woman in purple palace attire named Mo Yu spoke softly from among the group led by Di Kun, the man in the ghost mask.

"If one is not adept at this art, they can only rely on brute force to overcome it." Zhao Tong nodded in agreement.e Dragon Pearl, it would take a while. However, he still needed to think of more ways to make it successful.A cultivator at the True Immortal First Realm, typically wouldn't have more than a few thous...
