781: Chapter 230_4 781: Chapter 230_4 Now, with the five of them flying at full strength, their speed surged violently.
However, the resentful spirits behind them were not slow either, still trailing close behind them.
As Linghu Gudu flew, he called out, “What’s the matter with these resentful spirits?
How did they suddenly appear, and moreover, why is their speed so fast?
All of us have reached the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, or are even stronger special existences than that.
Despite us running at full force, we actually haven’t managed to completely shake them off!
Over there, what is that situation!”
Suddenly, his eyes widened in shock.
Before them, they discovered another group of gathered skulls and resentful spirits.
Although there weren’t as many of these skulls and resentful spirits as those chasing them from behind, when added together, there were nearly a hundred of them.
They were currently surrounding the entrance to a cave.
Constantly wandering about, they seemed to want to enter the cave, but something terrifying inside the cave seemed to be deterring them from advancing further.
“Over there, those resentful spirits don’t dare to enter the cave, and moreover, there is a presence inside the cave, a human presence.
Let’s go into the cave!” Linghu Gudu’s figure abruptly turned, flying directly towards the cave entrance, and while flying, he also shouted back into the cave, “Friend, may we use the cave for a moment?”
The next moment, a deep, strong voice came from inside the cave.
“No borrowing!”
Inside the cave, a deep, strong voice echoed again.
However, Linghu Gudu paid no heed and charged straight into the cave.
Seeing this, Cao Zhen and the others quickly turned and rushed towards it as well.
Near the cave, every resentful spirit and skull that saw the humans rushing in abandoned the mouth of the cave and charged towards the humans in front of them.
Suddenly, a sharp light gleamed in Linghu Gudu’s eyes; the speed of these skulls and resentful spirits was clearly not as fast as those chasing them from behind.
A thought crossed his mind, and he abruptly paused mid-flight, veering to the side.
He made a full circle, leading the resentful spirits and skulls away, and then sharply doubled back.
Leverage on the advantage of speed, he rushed into the cave in an instant.
Cao Zhen and the others also entered the cave one after another.
Almost the moment they entered the cave, a huge fireball flew straight at them, directly targeting Linghu Gudu’s face.
The person inside the cave had made a move, and the next moment, in front of Linghu Gudu, he suddenly opened his mouth and took a fierce inhale.
In the blink of an eye, a huge whale phantom suddenly appeared in front of him.
The whale’s mouth, seemingly capable of swallowing the entire world, opened fiercely, and in one gulp, it devoured the flame as if it were savoring some delicious food.
At this point, Cao Zhen and the others could finally see the situation inside the cave clearly.
It was a narrow and long cave.
Inside the cave, there were two men and a woman.
At this moment, the three of them were clearly on alert, and their Golden Cores were fully manifested behind them.
All three individuals were at the stage of Perfect Completion Golden Core.
The two men each possessed six Phenomena Golden Cores, while the woman had five Phenomena Golden Cores.
Their strength was already not weak, as being able to venture so deep into the ruins at such a time was impossible without some capability.
But these people in front of them…
Having heard the call from outside, the three of them immediately sensed trouble and simultaneously unleashed their battle power.
Upon discovering that someone had entered, one of them immediately launched a Divine Skill attack.
However, his Divine Skills were easily neutralized.
And then.
The three of them stared at the five newcomers, their eyes nearly blinded by the sight of the Golden Cores behind them.
Phenomenal Golden Cores, they were all Phenomenal Golden Cores!
Among these five people, incredibly, four were at the Perfect Completion Golden Core stage!
Though the three of them were strong, everything is relative.
How could they possibly stand a chance against the people before them!
The intruders had now entered this place, and moreover, they had acted against them.
If these newcomers were to fight back…
In an instant, the hearts of the trio sank to rock bottom.
Linghu Gudu looked at the three people before him.
Although they had attacked him, he did not immediately retaliate.
His life was almost entirely spent on adventures; even his cultivation was advanced through taking risks.
Therefore, he understood these people.
In such ancient relics, no one knows who the other party is.
If he were in their shoes, with someone suddenly invading his territory, he too would resist, even attack.
Thus, he understood their actions and didn’t get angry.
However, the party he was with now was not one where he called the shots.
He turned and looked back at Cao Zhen.
The three on the other side naturally followed Linghu Gudu’s gaze to look at the only person amongst their opponents who was not at the stage of Perfect Completion Golden Core.
Cao Zhen, feeling Linghu Gudu’s gaze, stepped forward and asked the three strangers, “What is going on here?”
The opposing trio was instantly startled.
They could see that the other party was at the sixth level of Golden Core cultivation and they couldn’t understand why, if all four people on the other side were at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection stage, they would team up with someone who only had a sixth level Golden Core?
Plus, in the current situation, it was clear that the leader was this person with the sixth level Golden Core.
This was the Reversal Mini Epoch Period, where the strongest are those at the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core Great Perfection stage.
What kind of person would manage to have the following of four Complete Golden Pill of Ten Strange Phenomena?
Could it be the child of a Sect Leader or Sect Leader from some powerful faction?
Although their leader was in slumber, they would surely awaken after the Reversal Mini Epoch Period ends.
At that time, they would still have to rely on this person.
So, these four were accompanying this sixth level Golden Core?
And this time, were they also responsible for the newcomer’s protection while exploring this relic?
It seemed likely.
However, they had no idea which faction could deploy four Complete Golden Pill of Ten Strange Phenomena at once.
Not every faction could have so many at the Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core Great Perfection stage.
Even many powerful Immortal Sects that they knew of didn’t have that many.
It had to be a top-notch power that could possess four of the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection!
The trio quickly figured out the identities of their opponents, and the female cultivator hastily started to explain, “Dao Companion, we were presumptuous earlier.
We are a group of four and had previously offended three powerful individuals and barely escaped with our lives.
One of our companions also perished in the process.
Just now, we detected someone forcing their way in and thought it was our enemies catching up to us, so…”
“That’s not what I’m asking,” Cao Zhen waved his hand when he realized they had misunderstood, thinking he was asking them to explain why they had attacked.
He could understand why they might have lashed out so suddenly.
Moreover, this time they indeed had barged in forcefully, and so he would not say much about their assault, let alone kill them for it.
Even Linghu Gudu, who had been attacked, did not act, so he certainly wouldn’t.
“I’m asking about the situation outside.
Do you know what is going on with those skeletons and resentful spirits?
And why won’t they enter this place?”
