Chapter 458 - 458: The search for Mercury (1)
The three of them barged into the situ mansion, braving the fire, and put out the fire with their powerful star power.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Most of the members of the situ family had died in battle, and only a few were still alive.
The ten elders of the situ family had all died in battle without exception!
“You’re too ruthless.” Old ancestor gongliang stood in front of a child’s corpse with a gloomy expression.
This was already an extermination!
“The Shura must have some sort of powerful backing,” Flora’s forefather said grimly.”They’ve gone too far?”
In the past, no matter how insolent the Shura family was, they had never dared to exterminate their family.
This was because it would definitely enrage the other two aristocratic families, the three great Buddhist temples, and the two great gates of God. But now, the Shura family didn’t seem to be afraid of anything.
They must have a strong backing.
“We’ll wait here for old ancestor situ to return. Young master Xia, if you have anything to do, please go ahead.”
Xia qingchen thought for a moment and came to the ruins in the center of the area.
He pushed the ruins aside, revealing a huge cave.
After entering the cave, he saw the words ‘immeasurable cave’.
As the cave was rather deep, it had not been destroyed by the fire.
“It’s alright.” Xia qingchen relied on his memory and arrived at the first cultivation spot. He immediately sat down cross-legged and started cultivating.
Two days passed.
With the help of the powerful local energy and the help of many secret medicines.
He had finally broken through from the eighth level of the minor astral level to the ninth level.
At this point, the density of his star power could finally be comparable to the first transformation of the medium star level.
His overall strength had finally reached the second level of the middle star.
If he met the heavenly-robed slave again …
However, it was a one-hit kill!
Xia qingchen stood up with a pondering look on his face. “Now that I’ve reached the peak of the minor star level, it’s time to make preparations to break through to the medium star level.”
It wasn’t easy to break through from a minor star to a medium star.
It required a flower called star water.
It was an item produced in a secret realm, and it gathered extremely dense spiritual energy.
From blooming to withering, it only took two hours.
One had to consume the flower within two hours.
Otherwise, if one were to consume it after it had withered, the star water would be highly toxic and would only cause one to die.
Star water was not easy to find, and to find it, one had to wait for the two hours when the flower bloomed.
Therefore, one could imagine the difficulty of breaking through to the middle star level in the sky moon Ridge.
“I have to break through as soon as possible.” Xia qingchen spoke in a solemn voice.
Yu Qingyang had already broken through to the middle star level for a long time.
If he was stuck at the peak of the minor astral level and couldn’t break through, no matter how much cultivation experience he had in his previous life, it would be useless.
However, how could there be star water?
After pondering for a while, Xia qingchen returned to the ground.
From afar, he could see three figures conversing on the ruins.
Two of them were patriarch gongliang and patriarch flora.
But the other one was very unfamiliar.
Her expression was depressed and even a little dejected.
She was dressed in linen and had the appearance of a forty-year-old woman.
If old ancestor gongliang had not called her sister, it would be hard to imagine that she was the old ancestor situ of the situ family!
It’s settled then, the two of you follow me to the Asura family. In the divine ruins, I’ll definitely do my best to help the two of you! Old ancestor situ said.
The two patriarchs nodded.”No problem,” he said.
At this moment.
Old ancestor gongliang noticed Xia qingchen and glanced over. When he saw the remnant star power around Xia qingchen, he asked in surprise, “”You’ve already broken through to the ninth level of the minor astral plane?”
“You’re only missing a drop of star water!” Flora’s forefather was equally astounded. Just in time, the three of us will go to the Shura family and find a secret place for you to grow star water.”
“The Shura family has it?” Xia qingchen’s brows twitched slightly.
yes, ” old ancestor gongliang said. the last time the Shura family went to the divine ruins, they brought out many blooming Mercury. There’s reason to believe that they have control of the divine ruins, the blooming land of Mercury.
Xia qingchen’s heart stirred.
If there were patches of Mercury blooming, it would be easier to find the Mercury that was about to bloom.
“How about you count me in?” Xia qingchen spoke.
If that was the case, it was necessary to make a trip to the Shura family.
The two patriarchs frowned.
“The Shura family is extremely dangerous. I’m afraid we won’t have the time to take care of you,” the former said in a deep voice.
Xia qingchen smiled. don’t worry. I can take care of myself.
Thinking about it carefully, the great demon from West Ridge should be ready to take revenge on the Shura family that killed its descendant and deceived it.
If he knew that the three great ancestors were attacking, he believed that he would be very willing to cooperate.
“You?” Old ancestor situ looked at him with suspicion.”With your cultivation, you’re probably just going to die.”
Xia qingchen looked at her.
He did not have a good impression of the entire situ family.
It was the same for old ancestor situ.
“Then just take it that I’m going to die. You don’t need to care.” Xia qingchen impolitely replied.
“Of course I don’t care if you die or not,” ancestor situ snorted,”but if you go, you’ll definitely ruin things. If you alert the enemy, won’t you be putting us in danger?”
I’m not going the same way as you guys, ” Xia qingchen said calmly. is that fine? ”
He really didn’t want to communicate with the situ family.
After he finished speaking, he left on the spot.
Old ancestor situ stared at him coldly.
She had already heard the whole story from situ guifeng.
From her point of view, Xia qingchen was clearly able to save situ ya, yet he didn’t do so.
Patriarch gongliang and patriarch flora watched helplessly.
Different perspectives and views on the same matter naturally led to different attitudes.
let’s go. We’ll get there first. We can’t let him alert the enemy and affect our plan. Old ancestor situ said.
She didn’t know that Xia qingchen had already used the flying Nirvana artifact and was traveling at a speed that far surpassed theirs.
In a short ten days.
Outside the Shura clan’s city.
Xia qingchen quietly landed and stepped into the city.
Soon, they found the Shura family’s residence.
He stood on the roof of a nearby building and secretly observed.
An hour later, he mumbled, ” on the surface, there are ten groups of patrol teams. In reality, they are just for show. There is a medium star-level cultivator lying in ambush at each of the four corners.
in addition, the walls of the courtyard are smeared with a colorless and odorless poison. As long as one’s body touches it, one will definitely be poisoned.
“Finally, there are mechanisms on all three roofs.”
Xia qingchen had seen too many of the traps and schemes that the Asura clan was proud of. He could tell just by observing them carefully.
it seems like the Shura family predicted that old ancestor situ would come for revenge in a fit of rage, so they set up an ambush! Xia qingchen analyzed.
Xia qingchen didn’t care about old ancestor situ’s life or death.
He was more concerned about the two patriarchs.
“Forget it, I’ll go in first to probe the situation!” Xia qingchen mumbled to himself.
He put on the invisibility cloak and entered the courtyard without touching the ground.
Her figure was light and graceful, so she did not attract the attention of the experts in the dark.
However, the moment his feet touched the ground …
A flying needle suddenly shot over.
Moreover, it was extremely accurate as it pierced right between his eyebrows..
