All the martial cultivators above the fifth realm present felt the change in the aura of the "Blood Blade."
The Blood Blade was well-disguised, and if it wasn't for the Heavenly Demon from beyond the domain mentioning its presence, these fifth-realm martial cultivators wouldn't have noticed anything amiss even if they passed by it while walking through the forest.
However, when they focused and attuned their senses, they were still able to sense some minor aura emissions from the Blood Blade.
They realized the soul consciousness fluctuations of this seventh-realm magical plant were getting increasingly faint and soothing, eventually fading away completely.
Clearly, the Blood Blade was forced into a dormant state due to some irresistible factors.
"It seems that Zhu Huaimeng wasn't lying!"
Duan Pengxuan put down the tea cup in his hand and said with a cold gaze, "It must be related to the mating season of the Blood Blade. These Heavenly Demons have thoroughly studied it and might have even injected it with some substance to induce its blooming period. Everyone, be prepared, in at most a quarter of an hour, this Blood Blade will enter dormancy."
At this moment, he noticed Lin Twelve gazing at him with a look of suspicious, cautious alarm from a distance.
At first, Duan Pengxuan didn't understand what this man meant until a moment later when it suddenly dawned on him, causing his eyes to bulge slightly with anger.
Just because that Heavenly Demon spoke a bit of truth, does it mean all the slanders from that wretched woman might also be true?
This defiant child, Duan himself would be mad to collude with the Governor of Shazhou! Why would my benefactor want to help the Emperor to kill gods? Where would I get the resources to collude with the Heavenly Demon military?
Duan Pengxuan took a deep breath to calm his emotions and asked, "Mr. Du, have you found any trace of Professor Han?"
"Not yet!"
This was the man next to Duan Pengxuan covered in Heavenly Demon dragon armor, his voice as resolute as iron, yet his tone indifferent, "There are about twenty fifth-realm masters here today, but I'm not sure which one is Professor Han."
Duan Pengxuan frowned slightly, thinking that this Mr. Du was also a useless fool.
This man had been lurking in Wang City for the past two months trying to locate Professor Han but had accomplished nothing and had simply watched as those otherworldly Heavenly Demons set traps inside the big prison of Wang City.
At this moment, Lin Rui was speaking with Prefectural Governor Qin Xia, who had just arrived at his side.
With curious eyes, Lin Rui asked, "Aren't you and the Governor going inside to take a look? It is said that Qin Yan's cave dwelling has many treasures left behind. Aren't you two interested at all?" Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire
"We're not going in," Qin Xia replied with a wry smile. "Qin Yan was a top disciple of the Limitless Saber Venerable, and he might have entered the eighth realm before his death. Who wouldn't be interested in the heavenly path left by such a high-realm martial cultivator? The problem is, our responsibilities lie here with the governor, and we dare not leave our post."
Although all the high masters from the fourth and fifth realms in the prefecture were gathered here, there were still many demons and dangerous martial artists lurking in the city, and it could not be without powerful figures to suppress them.
Qin Xia had come here today worried that so many martial artists gathered in one place could lead to trouble.
"However—" Qin Xia paused, his gaze turning cold as he looked towards that dragon, "Once the Defense Commander goes inside, keep an eye on that malevolent dragon."
Lin Rui nodded, "I understand!"
As long as the state of that dragon was not good, the four giants of Wang City could join forces to eliminate it.
"Right! Be careful with the Guang Ming Sacred Sect. I heard they also have a formidable person coming,"
Qin Xia was actually more worried about Lin Twelve, solely because many of the major powers vying for Qin Yan's cave dwelling today held deep grudges against Lin Twelve.
He truly wondered why this youth insisted on entering and whether he could come out alive.
Just then, that Blood Blade went completely silent.
More than six hundred martial cultivators outside the dense forest immediately surged into action, frantically rushing deeper into the forest.
Most of them did not expect to snatch the real treasures of Qin Yan's cave dwelling from the leading experts like Duan Pengxuan.
However, for someone as exalted as Qin Yan, even some trivial items might hold great value for these scattered martial artists.
If they had a chance to glimpse the True Intent of the transformational martial arts, that would be ideal, even if they only saw a little part of the True Intent, they might have hope for transformation in the future.
Lin Rui didn't dare to delay either, flying at high speed through the dense forest alongside Blood Blade Ji.
Blood Blade Ji was responsible for carrying him as they flew, while Lin Rui was in charge of guarding with his blade.
After they flew about ten miles, Lin Rui heard a loud booming explosion ahead; it was the dragon, which arrived first at the foot of Luotian Mountain, shattering a section of the mountainside with a punch.
It primarily cultivated strength, and having both water and wind techniques as secondary, it sensed a cavity behind this mountainside almost immediately.
The nearby martial cultivators were instantly invigorated.
"Found it, the Heavenly Demon was telling the truth!"
"That dragon has found the entrance!"
"It really is Qin Yan's cave! The martial world buzzed about it twice, over several months, and it turns out to be true."
Lin Rui's eyebrows also raised slightly as he formed a Dharma Seal with his hands.
He and Blood Blade instantly transformed into bolts of lightning, surprisingly reaching the rear of the Heavenly Demon first.
Lin Rui had been controlling a silver needle, following right behind the Heavenly Demon.
Meanwhile, on another secluded side of Luotian Mountain, Wang Sen, donned in an 'exoskeletal engineering armor,' received a message sent by Lin Rui.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): The operation begins.
Wang Sen's eyebrows lifted as he looked toward the southern direction.
He was somewhat worried; there were many experts entering Qin Yan's cave this time, and he wondered if Lin Rui and Professor Han could smoothly carry out their plan?
At that moment, Senior Brother Li Li slapped him on the shoulder.
"What are you spacing out for? We need to get to work. We only have 20 minutes, and it's best if we can finish within 15 minutes. The professor might not be able to hold them off for 15 minutes."
Wang Sen nodded slightly and turned to walk towards a cave entrance deeper in the hollow.
At that entrance, another twelve people were also clad in 'engineering armor,' fully covered from head to toe.
Professor Han's team was highly secretive; only a few of them, like Zhu Meng and Professor Han himself, were publicly known to have extraordinary identities.
People like Li Li and Lu Xinran, however, were kept secret, known only to a few.
And now, they were all gathered here, skillfully operating the exoskeletal engineering armors for construction work.
In addition to this, at the mouth of the cave was a twenty-meter diameter cylindrical machine, emitting a faint humming noise.
That was the machine's huge blade disc inside, grinding the soil and rocks in front into dust!
????
Lin Rui had just entered the cave entrance when he saw the Heavenly Demon's tail smashing towards him.
"Get out of my way!"
Lin Rui furrowed his brow, swinging his saber to block.
"Thud!"
He was swept aside by a massive force, crashing into an inconspicuous side passage.
Yet, a look of joy appeared on Lin Rui's face. After steadying himself from the force, he didn't fly out of the side passage. Instead, he ran deeper along with Blood Blade.
The Heavenly Demon initially intended to follow the widest cave tunnel but, after running a few steps, felt something was amiss. It turned around and stuck its head into the side passage, thinking something was off - why run into a side passage instead of the main path?
Behind them, a group of Martial Cultivators also let out a shout.
"Follow him! That Lin guy locked up that Heavenly Demon for a month, he must know what's inside here."
"Exactly, he might even have the complete map of Qin Yan's cave."
"I know there's an illusion technique in the government office that can directly dream up and see someone else's memories."
The more these people talked, the faster Lin Rui and Blood Blade ran, bursting ahead like lightning.
The Heavenly Demon's eyes hardened, and it swiftly slithered towards Lin Rui.
Duan Pengxuan had also planned to advance directly to the main hall, but just then, he heard Mr. Dou grunt softly, "My lord, I saw someone operate the Heavenly Demon's power mecha coming in. It must be that Han guy, and he's also chasing that Lin Twelve."
Duan Pengxuan's spirit tensed, and he immediately changed direction, diving into the side passage.
If it were just Lin Twelve alone, that would be one thing. But why was that Han guy also running in this direction?
Behind, Zhou Changgong furrowed his brows tightly, blinked, and suddenly his entire body burst into flames. He unexpectedly used a fire escape technique, suddenly appearing in front of a Martial Cultivator from the four realms.
This martial artist from the pugilistic world spontaneously combusted, turning into a torch burning brightly, serving as the anchor for Zhou Changgong's fire escape.
Zhou Changgong eyed the rapidly fleeing figure of Lin Twelve, pondering what inside information this guy knew to be running in this particular direction.
Could it be that the 'Dragon Blood Destiny Pill' was in this direction?
