Chapter 133: The Spiritual Mine is Acquired, but a Danger Hidden
"Who said everyone here is yours?"
The sound was like thunder. Master Murong's face suddenly changed and he turned around. He saw that Guard Luo and a dozen men in black had surrounded them without them noticing. Each of them was holding a sharp blade and looked murderous.
"Guard Luo, what do you mean?" Young Master Murong asked sternly, suppressing the pain, his eyes full of disbelief.
Guard Luo sneered and said, "My master had long anticipated that you would go back on your word, so he specifically ordered us to wait here to protect Miss Dongfang's safety."
Young Master Murong's heart sank, knowing he had fallen into Lei Yi's trap. He feigned composure as he looked at Lei Yi and sneered, "Young Master Lei is so calculating! He's actually playing the mantis stalking the cicada, while the oriole waits behind!"
Lei Yi didn't say anything, but just looked at him indifferently, as if he was looking at a dead person.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion from the back of the crowd, and a rough voice roared, "Murong, stop being so arrogant! I'm going to take this spiritual mine today!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the leader of the Golden Sword Village and a group of bandits rushing towards them aggressively.
It turned out that the leader of the Golden Blade Village had been hiding in the dark and observing the situation. Seeing that Master Murong had kidnapped Dongfang Liuli, he wanted to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and seize the spiritual mine.
"Jindao, you dare!" Young Master Murong was shocked and angry. He never thought that the leader of Jindao Village would dare to jump out at this time.
The leader of the Golden Blade Village laughed heartily and said, "What is there for me to be afraid of? If you know what's good for you, just hand over the spiritual ore. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
"You are looking for death!" Master Murong was furious. He endured the severe pain in his wrist and swung his sword to fight.
"Be careful, son!"
Two guards of the Murong family hurried forward, one on the left and one on the right to protect Master Murong, and fought with the people from the Golden Sword Village.
For a moment, the field was in chaos, with swords flashing and shouts of killing shaking the sky.
Lei Yi took advantage of everyone's inattention and whispered to Guard Luo, "According to the plan."
Guard Luo nodded slightly and quietly approached Dongfang Liuli with a few men in black.
Young Master Murong was entangled by the people from the Golden Sword Village and had no time to care about Dongfang Liuli. He could only watch Guard Luo and others rescue her.
"Lei Yi, you dare!" Master Murong roared, but it was of no avail.
Lei Yi smiled coldly, took Dongfang Liuli's hand, turned and walked towards the cave.
"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Seeing this, the leader of the Golden Blade Village immediately led his men to chase after him...
A cold light flashed in Lei Yi's eyes, and he tightened his grip on the sword...
"Stop them! Don't let them run away!" The leader of the Golden Sword Village roared at the top of his lungs. However, the appearance of the blood-eyed monster was like a natural barrier that blocked everyone's way.
Lei Yi took Dongfang Liuli's hand and, under the protection of Guard Luo, quickly entered the depths of the cave. The cave was complex and interconnected, and Lei Yi accurately found the spiritual vein according to the map provided by Master Li.
"Young Master Lei, this is the main vein of the spiritual mine." Miner Li pointed to a stone wall in front of him that was emitting a bright light and said excitedly, "As long as we break this stone wall, we can obtain a large amount of spiritual stones!"
Lei Yi looked at the stone wall before him, which held immense energy, and felt a surge of excitement. However, he remained calm and asked, "Master Li, do you know how to mine spiritual ore safely?"
Miner Li's face froze, and he said awkwardly, "I am... I am just a miner, and I am not good at mining spiritual ore."
Lei Yi frowned slightly. He knew that time was running out and he couldn't delay any longer. He turned to look at Dongfang Liuli and asked, "Liuli, do you have any ideas?"
Dongfang Liuli pondered for a moment and said, "I once read in an ancient book that mining spiritual ore requires a special formation that can guide the energy in the spiritual veins and mine spiritual stones safely."
"Formation?" Lei Yi's eyes lit up. "Do you know how to set up that kind of formation?"
Dongfang Liuli nodded, took out a yellowed ancient book from his bosom, opened a page, pointed at the intricate pattern on it and said, "It's this kind of 'Spirit Gathering Formation', but..."
"But what?" Lei Yi asked hurriedly.
"This formation requires a special material—the 'Lingshu Stone,'" Dongfang Liuli said, pointing to a mark on the pattern. "Only by using the 'Lingshu Stone' as the center of the formation can the power of the 'Spirit Gathering Formation' be unleashed."
"'Lingshu Stone'?" Lei Yi looked at Master Li, "Do you know where I can find this material?"
Master Li shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of such a material.
Just when Lei Yi and the others were at their wits' end, Guard Luo suddenly ran in from outside and said in a panic, "Sir, this is bad! The people from the Golden Blade Village and the Murong family have joined forces. They are attacking the Blood Eye Demonic Beast and trying to rush in!"
Lei Yi's face darkened. He knew they were running out of time. He made a quick decision, "Guard Luo, take Miner Li and mine some ordinary spirit stones first. Liuli and I will go find the 'Spiritual Axis Stone'!"
"But, sir..." Guard Luo wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lei Yi with a wave of his hand.
"There's no time left, go!"
Guard Luo knew the situation was urgent, so he said no more and took Miner Li to mine spirit stones.
Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli began to search for the whereabouts of the "Lingshu Stone" in the cave. However, they searched the entire cave but found no trace of the "Lingshu Stone".
"Is there no 'Lingshu Stone' here?" Lei Yi couldn't help but feel anxious. At this moment, Dongfang Liuli suddenly exclaimed:
"Lei Yi, look there!"
Lei Yi followed Dongfang Liuli's gaze and saw a stone door at the deepest part of the cave...
Ancient and mysterious runes were carved on the stone door, and a sense of vicissitudes of life came to him. Lei Yi's heart moved. Could it be that the "Lingshu Stone" was behind this stone door?
Meanwhile, shouts and cries of blood and killing filled the air outside the cave, and the Blood Eyed Monster's roar grew weaker and weaker. Guard Luo, accompanied by the blood-soaked Li Kuangshi, retreated to Lei Yi's side and said anxiously, "Master, the Blood Eyed Monster is almost unable to hold on. We must leave here as soon as possible!"
"The Lingshu Stone is behind this stone door!" Lei Yi pointed at the stone door and said firmly, "We must go in!"
"But..." Guard Luo looked troubled. "The runes on this stone door are very strange. I'm afraid..."
"No buts!" Lei Yi interrupted him, "Time is running out, we have no way out!"
Dongfang Liuli walked to the stone gate and carefully examined the runes on it, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. After a moment, she took out a jade talisman from her bosom, muttered something, and pressed the jade talisman against the stone gate.
With a loud bang, the stone door slowly opened, and a powerful spiritual power surged out from the door. Lei Yi and others were shocked by this force and retreated repeatedly.
Behind the stone door is a spacious stone chamber. In the center of the chamber, a crystal clear stone emits dazzling light. It is the "Lingshu Stone" they have been looking for!
"Found it!" Lei Yi was delighted and quickly stepped forward to put the "Lingshu Stone" into his pocket.
"Hurry up!" Dongfang Liuli urged, and the three of them quickly left the stone chamber. Guard Luo took one last look at the stone door, a hint of uneasiness flashed in his eyes, but he still followed Lei Yi closely.
They returned along the same route, however, the original passage had been blocked by collapsed boulders, which was obviously done intentionally.
"Damn it!" Lei Yi cursed inwardly. He knew that they were trapped.
"What should we do now?" Guard Luo asked anxiously.
"Don't panic, we must have other ways out." Dongfang Liuli said calmly and began to observe the surrounding environment carefully.
Suddenly, she pointed to a crack in the stone wall and said, "Maybe there's a way to the outside world!"
Lei Yi looked in the direction Dongfang Liuli pointed and found that the crack was very hidden and could not be detected at all without careful observation.
"Let's go!" Lei Yi made a prompt decision and took Dongfang Liuli and Guard Luo into the crack.
The crack was narrow and rugged. They moved forward with difficulty. After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally saw a ray of light.
"We're almost there!" Lei Yi was delighted and quickened his pace.
However, when they walked out of the crack and came to the outside world, they found themselves in an unfamiliar forest and were surrounded by people.
"Young Master Lei, how are you?" A cold voice came. Lei Yi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Young Master Murong with a group of people, looking at them coldly. Next to Young Master Murong stood an old man wearing a Taoist robe and with an immortal look.
"Who are you?" Lei Yi's heart sank. He knew that a fierce battle was inevitable.
"I am the elder of Xuantian Sect. Today I have been ordered to arrest you evil demons!" The old Taoist priest said in a cold tone, and with a wave of the whisk in his hand, a powerful pressure instantly enveloped Lei Yi and others.
Lei Yi's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected to encounter someone from the Xuantian Sect here. Even more unsettling was the sense of an invisible, restrictive force sealing off the area. And this force seemed... to be directed at him.
"It seems that someone doesn't want me to leave here alive..." Lei Yi murmured in a low voice, with a sharp cold light flashing in his eyes.
