The thick red smoke gradually dissipated, and the chaotic spiritual energy in the void also returned to the space between heaven and earth, right at the place where the Immortal-Destroying Pearl had just exploded.

There were only countless pieces of rubble piled up to form a wall that blocked the way.

On the ground around it, there were still some tiny bits of flesh and blood of the eight-legged earth-flipping lizard.

Qi Yuan came over quickly with a calm expression, releasing his spiritual sense to check the situation nearby.

Under the bombardment of the five Immortal-Destroying Pearls, even if their bloodline mutation greatly increased their strength, the three eight-legged earth-turning lizards were unable to withstand its terrifying power.

A few moments.

After repeated confirmation with his spiritual sense and finding no trace of the ancient beast, he turned around and flew to rescue Nun Jingzhu and others.

There was such a big noise here, and the aura of their own species suddenly disappeared. There was no guarantee that the remaining two earth-flipping lizards would not go even crazier and crush them to death.

Who would have thought that the two ancient beasts would act so decisively. Before the crisis came, they did not even think about revenge for their own kind, and instantly escaped by burrowing into the ground.

When Qi Yuan arrived, he couldn't help but show surprise, thinking that the high-level ancient beasts were really intelligent. However, it was a good thing that Nun Jingzhu and the others were not seriously injured.

Later, we will dig up the road leading to the earth-turning lizard's nest and take out the Xiyun Crystal and everything will be fine.

"Captain, the noise just now was a bit too loud. What magical power did you use?" Ding Yuan had some bruises on his body and blood stained his clothes. He said with a slightly hesitant expression.

With such terrifying spiritual explosion power, if he were caught in the center of the explosion, he would surely end up being killed without a complete body.

Then I thought about how the captain had definitely shown a lot of mercy when they fought each other before.

Not only was Ding Yuan confused, but Nun Jingzhu, Li Zhuer, Mingxia, and Xu Ke also looked at the man in shock.

They had seen the abilities of the earth-turning lizard after its bloodline mutated, and it almost suffocated them.

Nun Jingzhu chanted a Buddhist name and said, "Captain has such a powerful trump card that he was able to kill three mutant ancient beasts in a short period of time. No wonder he dared to accept the mission issued by the Elders' Council. I was worrying too much."

"Qi was lucky enough to bring up three Immortal-Destroying Pearls from the lower realm, so I was able to complete the task in one go. Now that the obstacles have been cleared, let's take the Xi Yun Crystal as soon as possible and go back to report." Qi Yuan did not hide the matter completely, but deliberately revealed some information to let them know.

"The Immortal-Destroying Pearl? The power unleashed by this item is so immense that even a cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm would find it difficult to survive. It is rarely circulated in the Three Realms and Seven Lands. I didn't expect the captain to possess it..." Upon hearing this, Nun Jingzhu's fair face glowed with understanding.

Because the Immortal-Destroying Pearl contained terrifying power, if a Divine Transformation cultivator wanted to purchase it, he could only wait in major auctions to have a chance to obtain the treasure.

Ding Yuan was secretly dumbfounded. It turned out that the earth-shattering noise was caused by a treasure like the Immortal-Destroying Pearl. This way, everything made sense.

Li Zhuer's beautiful eyes twinkled with stars as she stared at the man. A smile welled up on her face as white as milk, and her heart trembled slightly.

She didn't even notice these details...

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back. Let's go to the lizard's nest and take away the Xiyun Crystal first. Besides, the explosion just now may bring other dangers, so we have to act quickly." Qi Yuan said solemnly.

He then ordered the entire team to use their respective rare treasures to clear the blocked passage.

It was still the same spacious space, but the ancient beasts that had lurked here had either died or escaped, leaving only a pile of stored treasures that had not been taken away in time.

Qi Yuan commanded the five nuns including Jingzhu to search for treasures, while he was alert to the movements outside, guarding against any enemies approaching quietly.

Faced with the glittering treasure, everyone was also very enthusiastic and moved quickly, just because the captain promised to share some of the benefits with them. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it with grass. Unless you kill all five people and take the treasure for yourself, otherwise they may feel resentment and plot against him secretly after returning.

Killing monks indiscriminately can easily cause defects in one's state of mind. Qi Yuan doesn't want to add unnecessary trouble to himself just for a few treasures.

The spiritual objects in the cave are nothing more than the property obtained by the eight-legged earth-turning lizard from killing its own kind or monks over the years, and the amount is still considerable.

"Captain, we have collected all the treasures in the cave. Please count them." Ding Yuan walked over with a dozen storage bracelets in one hand, and his steps seemed to float.

The five nuns Jingzhu also came over.

Qi Yuan shook his sleeves, and colorful rays of light carried a dozen storage bracelets and flew into the air. He quickly scanned the area with his spiritual sense to check the number of spiritual objects. He planned to distribute some to the team members, but he also had to clarify the relevant circumstances.

We can't just let the people below embezzle the treasures without knowing it.

After confirming that there was no problem with the quantity, he cast several spells, taking out a certain amount of spiritual objects from them, and then distributed them to the five people.

Relying on the spiritual awareness of the early stage of refining emptiness, Qi Yuan knew every blade of grass and every tree in the cave.

"You have worked hard. These treasures are enough to support your practice for a long time."

"Thank you for your grace, Captain!"

Xu Ke's face was excited, and he was the first to speak with a fist.

The others followed suit and thanked him with excited looks.

"Everything is done, we will return immediately." Qi Yuan waved his hand and ordered the members of the Qingming team to fly out of the Dusk Abyss.

Fly along the ascending channel, neither hurried nor slow.

Suddenly, Qi Yuan frowned slightly. He sensed two auras of late-stage spirit transformation flying towards him at high speed. He immediately ordered: "There are cultivators flying here, and the situation is unclear. You must fly out of the Dusk Abyss at full speed."

Nun Jingzhu looked a little surprised, and her expression soon changed slightly. She also sensed a strong breath coming towards her.

Speed ​​up your flight immediately!
This made Li Zhu'er and the others dare not delay. Dazzling light burst out from their bodies and they all tried their best to fly.

How can I let someone snatch away the treasure that I have worked so hard to obtain?

After a few breaths, a black light came from somewhere else, and her whole body was wrapped by the shadow of a black phoenix about ten feet tall, moving at an extremely fast speed.

"My fellow human race members, I am Xiao Hong from the Black Phoenix Clan. I am being hunted by the Shadow Clan cultivators. Please come to my rescue."

As soon as the woman's voice fell, a faint green light flashed behind her, and it slowly approached at an eerie speed.

"Captain, the other party is a cultivator from the demon clan. Should we rescue him?" asked the nun Jingzhu.

Xiao Hong?

When Qi Yuan heard the other party reveal his family background, he knew something about the situation, but he wanted him to take action? No way, he said: "Don't pay attention to it. The two tribes fight each other every day. We don't need to be good guys."

After saying this, he still maintained his flying speed without any signs of slowing down. (End of this chapter)
