ACTION

CHAPTER 101 - SILVER LOCK SECRETS

The giant slowly pressed him down with a face full of pride. Shi Soong was forced to slowly retreat, and got closer and closer to the stone wall behind him.

The closer they got to the stone wall, the more dangerous it became. The chances of breaking through became increasingly slim and the situation became critical. Although Xuan Qing could run freely, he was completely ignored by the giant.

Xuan Qing had no choice but to return to Shi Soong's side and face the giant whose eyes began to shine with pride.

What should we do? Xuan Qing asked.

Shi Soong's face started to sweat slightly. He said while clenching his teeth: Full power attack!

He must have a weakness! Shi Soong stared in front of him angrily and said, Beat him up! Find out his weakness!

Xuan Qing nodded, this was the only solution for the current situation.

As the giant slowly approached, Shi Soong's expression became more and more serious.

Shi Soong took another step back. His sharp eyebrows shot out a furious glare as he roared, Attack! Before the voice died away, he waved his palms, releasing a continuous stream of Strong Wind Slash that whistled out, fiercely slashing towards the giant.

As soon as Shi Soong moved, Xuan Qing also started to move as if she was pulling the trigger. Her right arm extended and her right hand swiftly buckled the movement as the Steel Marble shot towards the giant densely!

Shi Soong's Strong Wind Slash started from the giant's feet and slashed upwards along the giant's legs, while Xuan Qing started from the giant's palms and shot inwards along the giant's arms.

At this moment, the giant was only about fifty feet away, and their attacks basically had no effect on him. The giant didn't even bother to dodge, and still steadily walked forward step by step.

Shi Soong's continuous Strong Wind Slash, the Profound Blue Howl of Fine Steel and the Marble, under the continuous chopping and shooting, had now shot towards the chest and neck of the giant. At this moment, the giant, who had always been disdainful of these attacks, suddenly had a cold expression on his face.

Huh? Shi Soong looked at the giant in shock. Xuan Qing also stopped and stared at the giant in confusion.

It was a mascot that only a few years old child could wear. After the giant shielded the attacks with his hand, he carefully moved his hand away from the silver lock to check if it was not damaged. Only after seeing that it was not damaged did he relax.

It seemed like this silver lock was very important to the giant. Shi Soong and Xuan Qing realized this at the same time. They looked at each other and immediately understood that only by obtaining this silver lock could they control the mad giant.

With their target set in mind, the two of them immediately made up their minds.

The giant's anger skyrocketed and his eyes burned with anger. He opened his hands and once again charged towards Shi Soong, but at this moment, Shi Soong suddenly twisted his legs and pounced towards him. At the same time, he slashed out Strong Wind Slash in a continuous stream.

Shi Soong's actions surprised the giant. Just as he was about to charge forward, he found that Shi Soong's Strong Wind Slash and his Profound Green Steel Marble were all bombarding towards his eyes!

The giant's eyes did not know what to do. Just now, Shi Soong's Strong Wind Slash slashed a few times, and the giant's eyes became dazed for a moment. This caused him to be extremely angry.

Therefore, the giant had no choice but to shake his head to dodge the shot at his eyes. But as the distance quickly closed, the power of Shi Soong's Strong Wind Slash that was flashing with a pale yellow light gradually increased. It was painful to hit his eyelids, so the giant could only reach out to block his eyes.

In that moment, Shi Soong's wrist shook, and he quickly slashed out two Strong Wind Slash s towards the giant's neck, and the continuous Strong Wind Slash once again struck the giant's palm that was blocking his eyes.

Unexpectedly, just as he took a step forward, he felt a sudden pain on his neck, followed by a lighter weight on his neck. He was shocked, and hurriedly turned around to look down, only to see that the silver rope that had been hanging around his neck since he was young had been cut off.

The silver lock fell to the ground with a thud. The giant bent down to catch it. At this moment, a white shadow flew past him and caught the lock.

Everything happened in a split-second, leaving the giant stunned.

Shi Soong let out a long sigh of relief. Just now, he had taken the risk and charged forward to suppress the giant with all his might, gaining a short moment of time to successfully break the silver lock. The giant was happy but surprised at the same time: the giant's toy like silver lock weighed 50 to 60 pounds, and Shi Soong had to use all his strength to run out.

BOOM! Shi Soong placed the silver lock heavily on the ground. Just as the giant wanted to take a step forward in anger, Shi Soong swung his fist at the silver lock and the giant froze on the spot.

Done! Shi Soong relaxed happily. After being suppressed for so long, he finally found an opportunity to make a comeback.

Woo! The giant growled angrily, but in the end, he did not dare to force his way forward. Helpless, he could only stamp his feet and curse loudly.

The loud roar and the noise from the battle were heard by Shi Soong and the others in the corridor that was just blocked by the giant. The captain of the patrol squad was surprised by the sound of the battle as he turned around and said, Not good, someone is invading. Hurry up and inform Vice Envoy Ding!

Several disciples replied and left.

If you want to take back the silver lock, that's fine. When we've done our job and safely leave, we will return the treasure to you! Shi Soong raised his head and shouted to the giant.

Giant didn't understand the meaning behind returning the treasure to its owner. He hesitated for a moment, but at this moment, he suddenly exclaimed as he stared at the strange texture and structure of the silver lock.

Shi Soong was shocked. Worried that something might have happened, he asked, What's wrong?

Xuan Qing was still frowning as she examined the stone lock. With a contemplative look on her face, she said, There seems to be a mechanism for this silver lock!

Hmm? Shi Soong quickly opened up half a body position and looked at the silver lock vigilantly.

It's not a mechanism to harm people, Xuan Qing said. This seems to be a box with a mechanism to open it …

Shi Soong heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and shouted to Giant, Hey, is there something hidden inside this silver lock?

Huh? The giant was shocked, Wh, what is it? As he was about to come over, he was stopped by Shi Soong's shout. He looked over in shock and excitement, as if he just found out about this matter.

Xuan Qing searched around, and pressed down hard on several parts of the silver lock at the same time. With a kacha sound, a burst of red light suddenly flashed at the edge of the silver lock. Shi Soong and Xuan Qing both retreated two steps in shock.

Another buzzing sound could be heard, and on the two sides of the silver lock, red patterns of light were rapidly flashing and flowing, and finally, the patterns of light converged in the middle. Suddenly, with a flash, the patterns of light suddenly disappeared, and a few imprints suddenly appeared on the two sides of the silver lock, a faint pink light flashing.

Shi Soong and Xuan Qing looked at this scene in shock, while the giant on the side was even more shocked. He didn't know that there was such a mechanism behind the silver lock.

Xuan Qing carefully examined it for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed with her eyes wide open: This, this is the Blood Vein Lock!

Seeing Shi Soong's confused look, Xuan Qing explained, The Blood Vein Lock is an extremely sophisticated seal mechanism lock. Only a specific person's blood can open it. If someone forcibly opens it, the seal will self-destruct.

This kind of seal is extremely rare. I've only seen this kind of record in data. It's really amazing! Xuan Qing sighed, Once this kind of lock is unlocked, it will lose its effectiveness. It looks like that Big Ba really doesn't know of the existence of this seal!

So it's like that, Shi Soong nodded, then turned to the stunned giant and said, You want to open this mechanism and see the secret inside?

The giant nodded heavily and spoke respectfully, Yes, of course you do. Whatever you want, return this silver lock to me! His tone was practically begging, completely losing the violent vigor he had initially shown.

The mountainous brown haired giant in front of him was actually an orphan. When he was picked up by others by the sea, he only had this silver lock by his side. He regarded this silver lock as a keepsake left by his parents and had it hanging on his body to protect him.

Now that he thought about it, there was actually a mechanism hidden within the silver lock. It seemed like the item inside had something to do with his background. The giant's eyes turned red with anxiety.

Okay, Shi Soong waved his hand. When we finish our work and leave safely, the silver lock will definitely be returned to you!

The giant nodded his head like he was pounding garlic.

Under Giant's passionate help, Shi Soong and Xuan Qing found the hidden secret room. The secret room was filled with some cultivation techniques, weapons, and the like. However, all of these did not enter Shi Soong's eyes.

Shi Soong was originally a special Vein Sea, so he couldn't learn ordinary cultivation techniques. Moreover, the cultivation techniques now suited him very well, so there was no need to find other cultivation techniques. As for Xuan Qing, she was not interested in these things.

Inside was a cyan crystal that flickered with a strange light, as well as an exquisite, red jade box. Inside the box, there were some strange patterns that wrapped around a cyan crystal plate. This plate seemed to be made from another cyan crystal.

Xuan Qing looked carefully and suddenly exclaimed: Could this be the treasure of the Secret Trace Sect, the Ghost Trace Crystal? This jade box is the Spirit Binding Treasure Box?

After Xuanqing's explanation, Shi Soong finally understood that one of the great treasures of the Secret Trace Sect was the Ghost Tracking Crystal. If the two Ghost Trace Crystals got near to a certain distance, as if they were two miles apart, they would flash with light, and the closer they got, the brighter the light became. To this, it was said that the ghosts sealed within the crystal had detected the traces of their former comrades, and were calling out to their comrades.

Legends said that it was very mysterious, but this characteristic of the Ghost Tracking Crystal was very useful for communication and synergy, so almost every high level disciple within the Secret Trace Sect had a Ghost Tracking Crystal. Furthermore, it seemed that this kind of crystal could only be found within Secret Trace Sect.

The people of the martial world had been exploring for a long time, but they had yet to find the vein of this crystal. This made them seem even more mysterious.

As for the Treasure Box, it was even more mystical. It was said that all of the Ghost Trace Crystals could be sensed by it, showing a corresponding bright spot. Legends said that the Treasure Box could sense and bind the movements of all the ghosts, so it was called the Treasure Box.

This kind of Treasure Box was only found in the upper echelons of Secret Trace Sect, and they never expected to find one here.

It was said that the black market had already raised the price to 300,000 gold coins, yet there was still no stock of these two items. This was because there were only a few of them in the entire continent.

Xuan Qing was so happy that her eyes were shining. She carefully put it into the storage bag on her back and tried modifying it in the future.

After confirming that there was nothing else in the room, the two of them carried the silver lock and walked out. The brown-haired giant was impatiently waiting outside the door, staring at the silver lock.

After Shi Soong confirmed that the giant was no longer a threat to them, he returned the silver lock to the giant. They stood to the side and looked at it curiously.

That giant life was so extraordinary, and the silver lock was so precise that it contained a secret. The two were also very curious.

Xuan Qing had no choice but to return to Shi Soong's side and face the giant whose eyes began to shine with pride.

CHAPTER 102 - GIANTS' BIRTH

Under the guidance of Xuan Qing, the giant placed both his hands on the two sides of the silver lock and pressed down hard. From within the marks on both sides of the silver lock, a flickering red light appeared, followed by a crisp sound.

The giant frowned and bent his arms to take a look. There were traces of blood on the ten fingers on his hands. It was the blood that had gushed out of his fingers the moment the lock was unlocked.

The Blood Vein Lock opened successfully, showing that the giant's blood was set in accordance with the Blood Vein Lock's settings. This silver lock really did belong to the giant.

The giant carefully opened the silver lock and saw that there was a letter on top. There seemed to be some books, maps and the like underneath the letter. The giant did not care about anything else but picked up the letter with trembling hands and read it excitedly.

My son, for you to be able to open the Blood Vein Lock and see this letter means that you are already over eighteen years old. My son, you were able to open the Blood Vein Lock and see this letter, meaning that you are over eighteen years old.

As Giant read the words on the letter, tears flowed down his cheeks. This was the first time he had seen the information of his loved ones ever since he was a child.

In a grand and magnificent hall, a six meter tall, sturdy old man wearing golden armor, with a face as cold as a knife that had been tempered by the passage of time, was crying as he gently put a fat sleeping baby into his armor bag. He looked at the baby affectionately for a while, as if he wanted to deeply carve the adorable face into the depths of his heart.

After a long while, the old man held another silver lock. His lips were trembling, hesitating, as he slowly placed it beside the baby.

Child, I can't watch you grow up … But you must be strong, because you are a descendant of our Xiong Family, and the blood that flows in your body is the bloodline of our Giant Clan and royal family …

In the cave, the hands of the brown haired giant who was holding the letter began to tremble. His tears drenched the letter and slid down to the ground. He suppressed his excitement and heartache as he slowly opened the next page.

... My son, I want to place this heavy burden on your shoulders, your father can't help but feel heartache just thinking about it, but, who told you to be my, Xiong Heng's, son, who allowed you to be the sole descendant of my Giant Clan royal family?! "

No matter how hard it is, you have to persevere. For the sake of our millions of compatriots, for the sake of bringing glory to our Xiong Family … This is your destiny, this is also your mission!"

The brown haired giant put down the letter and sobbed.

In the magnificent golden hall, an old man was holding a baby in a bag of armor. His face that was filled with tears suddenly bloomed with a trace of a smile, I firmly believe that I will see your glorious return when you are in the underworld!

After saying that, the old man took one last look at the sleeping baby and passed it to a capable guard standing by the side. The guard's expression was solemn and his two green brows were filled with determination and loyalty …

...

Hundreds of Black-clothed Man rushed into the main hall from all directions. The loyal guards that had sworn to protect the general rushed out while shouting. Fresh blood flew into the wind. Crimson screams filled the air and resounded …

At the exit of a secret passage outside the mountain range on the west side of the hall, a green-browed young man dressed as a farmer was running with quick steps while carrying a bag on his back.

In the hall of the cave, Shi Soong and Xuan Qing had already understood the general situation. They were deeply moved, but at the same time, they were filled with doubts. There were faint legends of Giant Clan, but currently, Giant Clan did not seem to exist on the road.

While Shi Soong was lost for a moment, he suddenly heard a strange sound from outside the stone door. After carefully listening, he exclaimed, Not good, the guards have discovered it. I'm afraid they have already entered!

Xuan Qing immediately became anxious, and hastily took out the Treasure Box s to take a closer look, and sure enough, a few bright spots representing the few of them were rushing over.

This is bad, I'm afraid I'm stuck here! Xuan Qing couldn't help but exclaim, perspiration starting to appear on her forehead.

While the two were in the middle of their anxiety, they heard the brown-haired giant suddenly ask, What are you two doing here?

Shi Soong was stunned for a moment, then said straightforwardly: We suspect that the Secret Trace Sect is in cahoots with some evil forces in the country, so we came over to check on the clues.

Heh. The giant, whose eyes were still hazy with tears, suddenly laughed and said, So you are also doing this for the peace of the world …

Hmm? World peace?" Shi Soong suddenly opened his eyes wide. What the giant said was too out of his imagination.

En, Giant said calmly, My master was the one who picked up my benefactor, and he has always persevered for the peace of the world. It seems that you two are very similar to my master.

Is, does it look like? Shi Soong was still confused.

You've helped me understand my background. I have to thank you! Giant said as he looked at Shi Soong with his still red eyes.

A large stone door that led to the outside world was slowly opened by Giant. Shi Soong and Xuan Qing were stunned as they looked at the sunny day outside.

It seemed like this was a secret door for giants to enter and exit. Shi Soong suddenly understood that the path they came from did not allow for giants. Giant must have other paths.

However, if this passage wasn't opened by the giant himself, it would be hard to find Shi Soong and Xuan Qing even after searching for a long time.

Hey, The giant looked at Shi Soong and said, Didn't you ask for my name? My name is Xiong Ba. And then he laughed.

Xiong, Xiong Ba? Shi Soong felt that his speech lately had always been stuttering. It was just because there were too many surprises, this world was too wonderful.

Xuan Qing also widened her eyes in shock.

You, you are Xiong Ba? that Xiong Ba of the top eight in Ten-city Competition? Shi Soong repeated in surprise.

Huh? Xiong Ba was surprised that Shi Soong said so much.

Shi Soong came back to his senses and exclaimed: I, it's Shi Soong. He then pointed at Xuan Qing and said: Xuan Qing, my partner.

Oh? You guys too! What a coincidence!" Xiong Ba widened his eyes in surprise.

Shi Soong suddenly smacked his head: Ah, right, the one from Ten-city Competition who likes to grab onto other people's feet and throw them out of the fighting arena is you, right?!

Xiong Ba scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Wow, no wonder when Gu Ting mentioned this person, he even exclaimed that he didn't know if this person was human or not, Shi Soong thought. At first glance, I really don't know if he was human!

In Ten-city Competition, the participants were all sealed and quartered, participants from different cities could not see each other, so they only knew the name, and did not know who it was. Shi Soong had always been curious about the person Gu Ting spoke of, and was extremely curious to have a match with him.

Who knew that after the Ten-city Competition suddenly stopped, Shi Soong's wish came to naught. However, after turning around, he actually met Shi Soong here, this world was truly strange.

No wonder you said that you've only been here for two days, hur hur. Shi Soong laughed.

This reminded Giant of his arrogant tone from the start. Immediately, he scratched his head and laughed foolishly in embarrassment.

The knocking sounds and shouting of Xiong Ba came from the other side of the tunnel. Shi Soong could only clasp his fist and say, We have to go. See you later!

Xuan Qing also clasped his hands in greeting.

Take care! You! Xiong Ba cupped his hands and smiled. Then, he slowly closed the door.

Returning to the hall, Xiong Ba hung the silver lock around his neck again. According to Xuan Qing, he would pretend to be anesthetized and lean against the wall. As soon as he sat down, the stone door of the tunnel suddenly shattered with a bang.

blue-clothed woman was clad in green clothes, which perfectly wrapped around her enchanting body. Her seductive and exquisite curves were perfectly displayed, but her beautiful face was covered by a demonic wind. Her eyes shined with a soul-stirring light.

blue-clothed woman's eyes turned cold at the sight of the green mist in the hall. She waved her hand, and a white mist shot out. Wherever the mist passed, the green mist vanished in an instant.

blue-clothed woman's figure flashed, like a shadow, she rushed into the secret room that was opened. With a single glance, the anger in her eyes flared up and she could not see the intruders, as she fiercely glared at Xiong Ba who was still unconscious on the spot. Her figure suddenly flew up, and she gently pushed on the air.

Shi Soong and Xuan Qing hid their bodies and avoided the Secret Trace Sect disciples who were patrolling everywhere. They ran up and down the forest with quick steps.

The two of them had originally come here to search for the secrets of the Secret Trace Sect to see if they had anything wrong with it, and if they had anything to do with it.

In any case, this Secret Trace Sect was not a good bird.

After walking for a while, the two of them squatted under a giant tree to catch their breath. Just as they caught their breath, Shi Soong, who was looking around vigilantly, was suddenly shocked.

Oh no, someone is chasing us! Shi Soong exclaimed in a low voice.

In the distance, blue-clothed woman saw someone running quickly from the top of the mountain. Her eyes were filled with anger as she looked around at the surrounding forest. A group of white clothed disciples also surrounded them.

Seeing the extremely high cultivation level that blue-clothed woman had displayed, Shi Soong took in a cold breath. Sweat dripped down Xuan Qing's forehead, and from the looks of it, the cultivation level of the woman was probably close to the peak of the Void Realm realm, far from what Shi Soong and Xuan Qing could contend against.

It seems like the old monster is coming out! Shi Soong gasped.

Old what? Xuan Qing wiped her sweat and asked doubtfully.

Hurry up and leave! Shi Soong pulled Xuan Qing and crouched down to walk down the ravine quietly.

blue-clothed woman, who was in the distance, looked around. Her eyes suddenly looked towards the place where Shi Soong and the others were hiding. After staring for a while, she didn't seem to notice anything.

The disciples in white slowly surrounded the area, Xuan Qing was already panting heavily. Shi Soong couldn't help but laugh, You know, carrying a box on your back is tiring enough, and there's also that huge stone that weighs more than a dozen jin …

Xuan Qing was so tired that she did not even have the strength to roll her eyes, much less be angry. She could only pant silently.

Shi Soong quickly looked around, then turned around and ran towards a cave on the mountainside with Xuan Qing.

In a magnificent and magnificent hall, a sturdy, six-meter-tall old man wearing golden armor, with a face as cold as a knife that had been tempered by the passage of time, suddenly started crying. He gently put a fat, sleeping baby into his armor bag, and looked at it affectionately for a while, as if he was trying to deeply engrave the adorable face of a sleeping baby into the depths of his heart.

CHAPTER 103 - HOLY SPIRIT STONE CAVE

It was a huge cave entrance. Standing in front of it, Shi Soong immediately felt his insignificance.

At the entrance of the cave, there was a huge rock with a few big red words engraved on it: Holy Spirit Cave. The two stood beside the huge rock and carefully peeped into the black hole to see if there were any guards or something inside. At this moment, they suddenly heard a loud shout from behind them: Two thieves, hand over the things!

This shout was like a bolt out of the blue. Shi Soong and Xuan Qing were so shocked that they didn't even turn their heads around. They just screamed and jumped into the hole.

blue-clothed woman, who was rushing towards them from behind shouted angrily. She waved her right hand and a white light flashed out, hitting Shi Soong and Xuan Qing behind them. Immediately, the two of them were hit by the shockwave and flew straight into the cave.

BOOM! BOOM!

Aiya!

Wow!

Amidst the sound of falling and rolling, Shi Soong and Xuan Qing screamed in pain.

The blast wave that had suddenly arrived gave the two of them no chance to dodge at all. Both of them flew into the cave and crashed into a stone wall. Although they did not sustain any major injuries, they were still extremely shocked.

They quickly hid behind the huge rock inside the cave. The two of them quickly hid their auras and calmed down their shock waves. They quietly stuck their heads out and looked at the cave entrance with vigilance.

Outside the cave, blue-clothed woman leaped to the side of the huge Holy Spirit Cave boulder at the entrance of the cave, but did not enter the cave after a moment of hesitation. Instead, she stared coldly into the dark cave.

Vice Envoy Ding! A dozen or so white-clothed sabre-wielding disciples slowly surrounded the cave entrance, with some hesitation. They didn't dare to move closer as they all looked towards blue-clothed woman.

He was originally number three in the Secret Trace Sect, but for the past ten years, the Secret Trace Sect Sect Leader had always been out in the open. And two years ago, number two had once again mysteriously disappeared without a trace, so now, the Secret Trace Sect was basically controlled by Ding Shiyu.

This Holy Spirit Cave was a forbidden ground for Secret Trace Sect, so no one was allowed to enter. Furthermore, strange and terrifying sounds would often be emitted from the cave, and it was said that none of the people who broke into the cave were able to come out alive.

Now that the two intruders had broken into the forbidden area, as long as they blocked the entrance, the two intruders would die without a doubt. However, the treasure they had stolen from the sect was brought into the cave at the same time, causing the disciples to be indecisive.

After the crowd had settled down, Ding Shiyu swept her cold eyes across the place and said in a deep voice, I will go into the cave to investigate personally. You all guard the entrance, no one is allowed to enter. Violators will be killed without mercy!

Yes sir! The cold voice sent chills down the spines of all the disciples present. All of them clasped their fists and shouted in unison.

The cave was dark, and the deeper they went, the darker it became. Soon, they were surrounded by a pitch-black darkness.

Shi Soong and Xuan Qing slowly inched their way in. Shi Soong could see the situation within the range of one Zhang with his telekinesis. No matter how far the distance between them was, it became blurry, so he could only carefully move forward with small steps.

As for Xuan Qing, she was like a blind person as she followed behind Shi Soong and reached out her hand to touch him.

He felt his way into the cave for about two hundred meters when suddenly there was a faint glow coming from inside. The light grew brighter and brighter and gradually, he could see the situation inside the cave clearly. He took a few more steps forward, and shockingly, a red glow appeared in front of him.

It was a layer of red light, like pieces of torn red cloth fluttering in the air. Moreover, these red light layers were gradually shrinking, and actually disappeared in a flash.

Beneath the shattered red membrane, a straight red flame streaked across the ground. It was as if a boundary had been drawn. At this moment, this flame was also drifting about, gradually shrinking and extinguishing.

This seems to be a barrier! Xuan Qing carefully looked at it in shock, and confirmed: It really is a barrier, but it was destroyed by someone. Moreover, it doesn't seem to have been destroyed for long!

You mean, someone came into the cave? Shi Soong looked around, but didn't see anything alive.

There must be someone inside! Xuan Qing vigilantly looked into the depths of the cave and said in a low voice, To be able to destroy this barrier, it seems that this person is extremely skilled in this field!

At this time, the faint voice of a Secret Trace Sect disciple came from the cave entrance, as if someone was trying to enter. Most likely, it was blue-clothed woman, Shi Soong, and Xuan Qing were anxious inside, and didn't care too much about it.

There was someone inside the cave who did not know, but the person entering from outside was a terrifying enemy, so the cave was relatively safer.

Along with the gradual annihilation of the barrier, the light inside the cave gradually dimmed down. Shi Soong and Xuan Qing took advantage of this short period of time to quickly rush into the cave. Huge rocks below their feet suddenly flashed past them. In a moment, the two of them had actually rushed nearly two hundred meters into the cave once again.

The tilt of the cave was getting larger and larger, as if it was rapidly extending towards the ground. Shi Soong, Xuan Qing and Xuan Qing rapidly jumped away. They did not notice that a pair of vigilant eyes were hidden behind a huge rock that had flashed by their side.

The broken barrier had been completely destroyed, but a faint red light once again appeared in the depths of the cave. The two of them were somewhat amazed, but they still continued to rush into the depths of the cave without hesitation.

Behind that huge rock, a pair of vigilant eyes stared at the back of the two. They seemed to be slightly angry as they sighed in a low voice in the darkness.

He looked at blue-clothed woman who had just entered the cave, then looked at Shi Soong and Xuan Qing who had rushed into the depths of the cave. After a moment of hesitation, the skinny figure actually stood up, sticking close to the edge of the cave and quickly dived into the depths.

The steep cave had already stretched down to the ground at an angle of 45 degrees. The surrounding craggy and strange rocks were like the devil's teeth that covered the surroundings of the cave. The red light in front of them became brighter and brighter, and waves of cold air and hot air were constantly ejected from some unknown crack in the cave.

Shi Soong and Xuan Qing rushed over hundreds of feet away in one breath, yet they still couldn't see the end of the stone cave.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the depths of the cave in front of him. The red light in front of him flickered in a hazy manner. Shi Soong stopped and stared at the red light with his eyes wide open.

Just as the two of them hid behind a huge rock, a huge wave of scalding hot air gushed out with a loud sound. Violent energy directly swept up the fine rocks, and several tens of kilograms of stones, which were like a dragon spitting out hot air, flying towards the cave entrance. The flying rocks struck the cave's walls and boulders, creating even more rocks, fusing into the stone dragon.

The boiling hot air, the violent energy, the tyrannical stone dragon's booming sound and tremendous power made Shi Soong and Xuan Qing, who were hiding behind the huge rock, feel scared in their hearts. They felt like they were as tiny and weak as grass in a huge wave.

Shi Soong and Xuan Qing, whose bodies were covered in sweat from the hot wind, were already exhausted. However, they had no choice but to dodge to the other side of the huge rock and finally let out a sigh of relief. They sat down on the ground on their butts and panted heavily.

I wonder what's going on up ahead? Where did this huge stream of air come from? Shi Soong was shocked.

Could it be a volcano? Xuan Qing guessed.

No, Shi Soong shook his head, The volcano spewed lava and fire. If it was like that, we would have turned to ash long ago. How could we sit here and emit heat!

Xuan Qing gasped for breath and did not say anything. She felt like she had been a genius for a lifetime, but she almost fell into the cave in a muddle. Thinking about it now, her heart was still chilled to the bone.

The two of them were shocked and tired, so they didn't say anything for a while. At this moment, a faint cough came from the depths of the cave.

There's someone here! Shi Soong suddenly shouted in surprise. He stood up vigilantly and glared forward as he listened carefully. However, he saw that the cave was empty. It was quiet. Where did this person come from?

Did you hear wrongly? Shi Soong looked at Xuan Qing in confusion.

Xuan Qing was bewildered as well. It shouldn't be wrong, I heard it too, it seems to be a man's voice!

It seemed like he was right. Shi Soong's expression immediately turned serious.

The two of them carefully moved closer to the origin of the sound. They carefully observed the shadows of the huge rocks around them as they listened for any movement.

Cough, cough … Another cough sounded, and this time, the two could hear it even more clearly with their attention.

The two of them looked at each other in shock. They didn't know if this cave was a human or a ghost, but they both felt a chill run down their spines.

Shi Soong suddenly thought: Could it be the person that broke the enchantment and came in?

Xuan Qing suddenly realized, It's possible. Just now, due to a moment of nervousness, he had forgotten about the person who destroyed the barrier.

Thinking of this, the two of them secretly let out a sigh of relief. In that case, the one in front must be a person.

The two of them assumed a vigilant posture as they slowly moved forward.

The assistant Secret Trace Sect Ding Shiyu slowly walked into the cave and looked around, carefully sweeping through every nook and cranny on every boulder to ensure that she did not miss the two. As she slowly walked to the boundary, a look of shock flashed across her charming face.

At that moment, the Spirit Formation was completely destroyed. There was no longer any traces of red light or flames. Under the probing with his gaze, he could only see a straight line of ashes on the ground. It was the traces left behind by the Spirit Formation fire.

The Nether Flame Barrier was actually broken? Ding Shiyu said in disbelief, How is that possible? Impossible!

The Underworld Fire Spirit Formation I laid is a rank 3 Spirit Formation. Unless it is broken from the inside, only I or someone stronger than me can break it from the outside. Those two brats can actually break a rank 3 Spirit Formation from the outside? Ding Shiyu's face was filled with disbelief as she recalled the miserable appearances of the two kids as they fled.

It seemed like it was impossible for the two brats to break the barrier, but it was definitely broken. Moreover, the two brats must have also entered the depths of the cave.

Very soon, Ding Shiyu gave up thinking about it. A trace of killing intent rose in her seductive eyes. Since you've entered the barrier, then don't think about leaving here alive!

Clenching her teeth tightly in her fist, Ding Shiyu twisted her snake-like waist and stepped across the line.

CHAPTER 104 - CENTIPEDE

Shi Soong and Xuan Qing gently touched the wall. When they heard the muffled cough again, they finally found the source of the sound. Ten meters in front of them, there was a black crack on the right side of the cave, where the sound came from!

Shi Soong used all his strength in his palm, the Strong Wind Slash shot out at any time, his black and blue hands were ready to shoot, the two of them nodded and silently touched the two sides of the crack.

Shi Soong looked inside. It was pitch black inside. He couldn't see anything with his eyes. He could only see three meters, but he could only see a narrow gap that only one person could pass through.

Shaking his head towards Xuan Qing, Shi Soong bent over to pick up a stone and gently threw it into the crack. Then, he immediately turned around and stuck close to the stone wall.

Tap, tap tap … In the silence of the cave, Shitou's voice was exceptionally clear.

Is it time? A tired voice suddenly sounded from the crevice. What are you planning to do now? Why did it have to be like this? Cough, cough …"

Shi Soong was shocked. He didn't know who that person was speaking, but from the sound of it, the person in the crack was a middle-aged man.

Shi Soong looked at Xuan Qing, turned his head and whispered into the crack: Senior, we are passing through here. We are disturbing you, please forgive us!

There was a moment of silence in the crevice, as if very surprised. After a while, the weak, slightly hoarse voice rang out once more, Who are you? is he a disciple of the Secret Trace Sect?

Uh, Shi Soong pondered for a moment, and replied: We are not Secret Trace Sect disciples, we just occasionally pass by this place.

There was a moment of silence.

From the equipment box at his back, he took out the Treasure Box s and looked at them carefully. There were no specks of light at all on them, which at least meant that the disciples of high level in Secret Trace Sect and above had not reached a very close distance. The Treasure Box s had not sensed the Ghost Tracking Crystal on their bodies yet.

After a long while, the tired voice could be heard again from the crevice, Regardless of whether it's true or not, you can come in …

Shi Soong looked at the black crack on the stone and couldn't figure it out, so he turned his head and said: It's too dim inside so I can't see it clearly. Senior, it's better to come out.

Hehe, the person inside actually laughed in a low voice, It looks like you guys aren't sent by Shiyu. Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you.

As he said that, he suddenly heard the crisp sound of a chain. The man then continued, You heard it right? I'm trapped here, you don't have to worry … Cough cough …

Senior, who were you trapped by? Shi Soong continued to ask.

Sigh. That person sighed deeply and said, That's right. Ding Shiyu should have already taken charge of the Secret Trace Sect by now …

Shi Soong felt that that person seemed to be very familiar with Secret Trace Sect, and his heart skipped a beat: To be honest, senior, we are actually being chased by Secret Trace Sect right now, and blue-clothed woman among them is very powerful. I don't know, senior …

Before he could finish, the person said, That's her, that's Ding Shiyu … I was trapped here because of her … His tone was dejected.

Shi Soong frowned, he felt that the man was not lying, there were no other exits in the cave, and he might understand how to escape. Shi Soong frowned, he felt that the man was not lying, there were no exits in the cave, and how to escape.

The person within the voice could also hear what he said, and he couldn't help but to let out a soft sigh and laugh.

Xuan Qing was a little worried and hesitant, but seeing Shi Soong's determined look, she could only nod her head.

The slit was dark, Shi Soong could only rely on the distance of three meters that he scanned through to slowly walk inside. After walking for more than ten meters, a stone chamber with a length and width of five meters suddenly appeared in front of him.

Shi Soong looked around and got a general understanding of the situation in the stone chamber. In the innermost stone bed, a bald, middle-aged man with unbound hair was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. He seemed to be meditating, but his feet were bound by a long chain, and the other end of the chain was fixed on two iron hoops that were locked into the ground.

It seemed that the green-browed man was indeed trapped here. Only then did Shi Soong's guard relax a little.

Senior … Shi Soong hesitated.

Mm … The green-browed man was still sitting with his eyes closed. He smiled and said, Seeing how young you are, you've already broken through to the state of Perception Condensation. You must have some accomplishments in the future!

Shi Soong cupped his fist and said, Sorry about that, Senior. He paused before continuing, Senior, you said that Ding Shiyu is rushing over from behind …

Shi Soong muttered to himself for a moment, then said that they had followed a vicious bandit from the martial arts world to the Secret Trace Sect, and in the end, they had gotten chased. In between his words, he concealed the situation regarding Chivalrous Soldier World, the intrusion into the secret stone room, and so on.

When the green-browed man heard this, he sighed. His expression became downcast as he shook his head and said, I had already expected this day to come, but she still ended up mixing with that evil outsider …

Shi Soong thought about how blue-clothed woman was about to rush over, and was extremely worried in his heart. He said, Senior, Ding Shiyu is here right now. Should I help you break this chain and get us out of here as soon as possible?

Hehe, no need, The green-browed man suddenly laughed bitterly, I am currently being controlled by the Marrow-devouring Centipede and am powerless. Otherwise, how could this small chain possibly deal with me?

Shi Soong was surprised. He turned around and walked to the side of the stone bed to investigate. He was even more surprised.

On the green-browed man's back, there was a black centipede about a foot long and as thick as his wrist!

The centipede went along the green-browed man's spine and attached itself to his body. Countless sharp claws and feet dug into the green-browed man's body, and they seemed to latch onto his spine. The pair of poisonous hooks on his head were firmly embedded into his spine.

Shi Soong's hair stood on end and his whole body felt numb. The green-eyebrowed man seemed to be sitting in meditation, but the veins on his forehead were twitching. It was obvious how much pain he was suffering.

Shi Soong stood there in shock, unable to think of what to do.

The green browed man continued, The Marrow-devouring Centipede's venomous legs and venomous hooks had embedded themselves into my spinal cord, suppressing the circulation of my entire body's blood and Qi. It was unable to execute its power and ended up trapped here.

He let out a long sigh and paused for a while before continuing, With my current condition, even if I were to leave, I would definitely fall into Ding Shiyu's hands once more. It would even implicate you. There's no need … His expression was one of desolation, as if he could see that he would not be able to leave this place for the rest of his life. He felt despair in his heart.

Shi Soong's heart turned cold. He said, Senior, is there any other exit to the cave? If we manage to escape, we will definitely find a way to rescue you.

The man with green eyebrows suddenly laughed bitterly: Hehe, you want to leave? Where can I go if I leave?... Since you've troubled me for a lifetime, my heart has already become as gray as ash. Why would I want to live, and what would I fear if I were to die? Why would you all save me?"

Shi Soong was stunned.

The green-browed man continued, There is indeed a secret exit inside the cave. Ding Shiyu doesn't know either. I can tell you guys, if you leave, you won't come back. Just pretend you didn't see me. Sigh …

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from outside the crevice, like the wind was gradually blowing. Then, Xuan Qing touched the stone wall as she came in, shouting as she walked, One tendon, what's the situation?

Shi Soong replied without any good mood, so he asked, What's going on outside?

It's going to be windy again! Xuan Qing slowly made his way into the room and asked, How is it? Are there any other exits?

Shi Soong pulled Xuan Qing into the stone room. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard a loud sound of wind outside. Some of the rocks started rolling and soon, a new berserk hot wind stone dragon would appear again.

In the midst of the whistling sound of the wind and the clattering of the rocks, Shi Soong was sensitive enough to detect a peculiar sound. He stopped Xuan Qing, who was about to speak, and whispered softly, "Someone else has come in!

Xuan Qing also tensed up. Even though it was dark and he couldn't see anything, she still took up a fighting stance in the direction of the crevice.

At this moment, the green-browed man who was sitting upright on the stone bed said slowly, TIYU, is that you?

A gasp came from the crack in the stone. It was obvious that this person did not expect that there would be someone here. He was greatly shocked.

At this moment, the flying stones in the cave outside were dancing wildly, and the rumbling sounds became more and more intense. It was obviously impossible to leave this place. The person who had just entered the cave was standing there without making a sound.

It seems like you were also chased over by Ding Shiyu. Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Come in. The green-browed man said with a kind tone.

After a while, a voice rang out from the darkness. It was a young woman's voice: "Senior, this junior just happened to come in by chance to avoid the wind. If the wind had stopped, I would have left.

No worries, you can come in. There are two young men here. I'll tell you where the hidden exit is. After a while, the wind stopped, and you two can leave together. The green-eyebrowed man said.

The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger. With rocks flying everywhere, the crack in the wall was too big to stand on. The woman hesitated for a moment, but she could only slowly walk into the hole.

As the woman gradually entered Shi Soong's line of sight, Shi Soong took a closer look and realized that it was a young girl around seventeen years old. She had a delicate face and wore a long purple dress.

Purple-clothed Woman carefully stopped one meter away from the stone room and took out a small light stone from her backpack. The stone room immediately lit up with a faint light.

Using the weak light, Purple-clothed Woman came to the stone room. When she saw the green-browed man sitting on the stone bed, especially the red-eyed Marrow-devouring Centipede on his back, she exclaimed, This is … The Marrow-devouring Centipede! His eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.

The green-browed man was surprised, opening his eyes slightly: You actually know about the Marrow-devouring Centipede?

Purple-clothed Woman looked at the green-browed man in shock, her eyebrows knitted tightly as she glared with her almond-shaped eyes: Scarlet eyed Marrow-devouring Centipede, this is an extremely poisonous technique created by the Secret Trace Sect Bai Duzi, the person who casted it refined it into an extremely poisonous and spicy Marrow-devouring Centipede, causing the Qi and blood of the person under its control to be unable to utilize its power, and thus be unable to circulate its power. Forcefully circulating power will only cause the spine of the person under its control to shatter, and both sides will burn the jade.

Then, he suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, There are very few people in the martial arts world who are proficient in this technique, could it be that senior was harmed by Bai Duzi? Could it be that this is the location of the Secret Trace Sect?

In the midst of the whistling sound of the wind and the clattering of the rocks, Shi Soong was sensitive enough to detect a peculiar sound. He stopped Xuan Qing, who was about to speak, and whispered softly, "Someone else has come in!

CHAPTER 105 - FIVE NEEDLES SHATTERED POISON

This time, it was Shi Soong and Xuan Qing's turn to be shocked. Shi Soong said doubtfully to Purple-clothed Woman: You are already here, how can you not know that this is the Secret Trace Sect realm?

Purple-clothed Woman seemed to have noticed Shi Soong's cyan aura at this moment. She turned around and snorted a laugh, I expected it to be the two of you!

With that, he turned his head away and ignored the two people, leaving Shi Soong and Xuan Qing confused.

Secret Trace Sect, Bai Duzi, aiya … The green-browed man heaved a long sigh, his face filled with unspeakable sorrow.

Once the Marrow-devouring Centipede is possessed, aside from the caster, the caster can only use the Five Needles Shattering Poison Technique … Purple-clothed Woman asked hesitantly.

You know the five needles of Shattered Poison? The green-browed man stared at Purple-clothed Woman with a strange expression.

Purple-clothed Woman nodded and said with a heavy tone, Five needles of fragmented poison. I have indeed solved the problem of Marrow-devouring Centipede s, but …

There's no need to say anymore … The green-eyebrowed man's face was solemn as he sunk into deep thought.

The stone room fell silent for a moment.

Outside, the violent wind from the stone dragon was still blowing wildly. The rumbling sound was like rolling thunder. The cave trembled as if the earth was about to shatter, its power was astonishing.

I think that after the wind ends, blue-clothed woman will probably catch up to him. Thinking this, Xuan Qing took out the Treasure Box and examined it closely, but seeing no signs of anyone approaching, she felt slightly more at ease.

Huh? The man stared at Xuan Qing in shock and asked, What is that thing in your hand …

The green-browed man had Xuan Qing pass the Treasure Box over for a closer look, and immediately, his eyes turned red. He was so excited that he started to sob: This, this is my Treasure Box …

Turning the Treasure Box around, he said, That's right, my name is carved on the back … Who would have thought … After all this time, you actually saw my Treasure Box once again …

Under the faint light from the light stone, he saw a few words engraved on the back of the Treasure Box: Bai Moyan.

Bai Moyan? Senior Bai?! Purple-clothed Woman shouted in surprise, shocking both Shi Soong and Xuan Qing so much that their expressions became serious.

You are the successor of Secret Trace Sect Sect Leader Bai Duzi, Bai Moyan? Purple-clothed Woman seemed to be extremely shocked.

Shi Soong then suddenly thought, could it be that this green-browed man, Bai Moyan, was hurt by his master Bai Duzi and received the cruel Marrow-devouring Centipede technique? Thinking of this, Shi Soong suddenly became alert.

That's right, Bai Moyan said in a low voice. My master, my father, is Bai Duzi. After a pause, he seemed to guess what everyone was thinking, and said: However, this Marrow-devouring Centipede was not planted by my master, but by Ding Shiyu …

The atmosphere in the stone room became a little strange. No one knew what to say, and only the roaring stone dragon outside could be heard dancing in the air.

Bai Moyan lowered his head and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, his face turned serious, as if he had made some important decision. His eyes flashed with determination.

I want you to help me with two things. Bai Moyan said seriously.

Senior, please feel free to tell us. As long as we can do it, we will definitely be of service! Shi Soong cupped his fists and said.

Purple-clothed Woman also clasped her hands and looked at Shi Soong with dissatisfaction. Shi Soong actually represented her in such a manner, which made her quite unhappy. However, she did not say anything at this moment.

Wu Tie nodded and said, The first thing I would like to ask of you two, my little brothers. He passed the back to Xuan Qing and continued: I hope that you two little brothers can properly protect this Treasure Box. If fate allows you to meet Secret Trace Sect Sect Leader Bai Duzi, please give this Treasure Box as a keepsake and tell him what happened at Secret Trace Sect. Let him return to clean up the mess and take charge of the overall situation!

Pausing, he then sighed: Father hasn't returned from the Secret Trace Sect for over ten years, and I don't know where he is right now. It's fine if you just do your best …

Shi Soong and Xuan Qing looked at each other and said, I will try my best to live up to your expectations!

This Secret Trace Sect seemed to be colluding with the evil forces. Shi Soong and Xuan Qing originally wanted to deal with them, and since it was as Bai Moyan said, Bai Duzi could clean up the mess and they would be happy to see it.

Furthermore, Bai Moyan was also a senior, so if he was willing to save a few people and escape, the two of them could not refuse.

Bai Moyan nodded and looked at Purple-clothed Woman, The second thing is to beg this lady. At this moment, Bai Moyan actually gritted his teeth and said with a resolute expression: Please use the Five Needles Shattering Poison Technique to help me devour this Marrow-devouring Centipede!

Purple-clothed Woman's face turned pale with fright when she heard that. She sucked in a breath of cold air and said, Senior! This …

Bai Moyan interrupted her and said in a deep voice, I know that five needles shattering the poison will cause the Marrow-devouring Centipede to devour it and lead to the centipede's venomous blood seeping into my body. I will not live another hour.

For this hour, I can stop Ding Shiyu and guarantee your safe escape. Bai Moyan slowly raised his hand to stop Purple-clothed Woman who wanted to say something, then he continued, Don't feel guilty about this, I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing this for myself!

Bai Moyan slightly raised his head, a decisive light flashed in his eyes: These past few years, I have been living a life worse than death, if not for a trace of obsession in my heart, I would not have endured until now. Today you can come here, perhaps this is heaven's will!

Let me make a decision with Ding Shiyu, and also cut off the sliver of obsession in my heart. I'll die with no regrets! Bai Moyan's voice became louder and louder. His eyes were filled with tears as he looked at Shi Soong and the others and said, So, today it's not you thanking me, but I want to thank you!

Everyone was feeling depressed and had nothing to say. Only the howling wind outside was still howling ferociously, as if they were angry and crazy.

This time, the explosive roar of the Stone Dragon lasted for almost ten minutes before it slowly stopped. Following that, the rumbling sound of stone breaking into stone and rolling back into the cave could be heard. It sounded like thousands of men charging into the
