A few hours later, Xu Yinglian regretted it at the speed of light. Where did all these bootlickers come from?

The training mission Qiu Changtian accepted this time was that a Kunlun outer sect disciple had accidentally discovered an entrance that was suspected to be a leyline on the west side of Long Mountain.

The so-called leyline was a branch of the Nine Provinces’ Dragon Vein. It was usually a place with dense spiritual energy and a suitable place to cultivate.

There were even more small houses of those ancient cultivators. The benefits of the relics were not much, but they could also be filled with traps and occupied by demonic beasts. The risks and benefits existed.

The spiritual energy in the leyline here was not very strong. Even if there were ancient ruins, it would only benefit the Foundation Establishment disciples. Even Perfected Golden Core was unwilling to come.

The Kunlun disciple who invited Qiu Changtian was originally a little anxious. He was afraid that the chief disciple would be worried about the risks and benefits and would not come. In the end, when he received the reply, he immediately burst into tears and praised the chief disciple for being righteous.

When Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian arrived on their swords, more than ten Kunlun disciples had already surrounded them. They respectfully addressed them as “Eldest Senior Brother” and “Second Senior Sister”.

Xu Yinglian was impatient to deal with these bootlickers and only nodded coldly.

Qiu Changtian was not arrogant at all. He nodded at everyone and greeted them one by one. His expression and tone were like the spring breeze, making everyone feel close but not cold. Immediately, their favorable impression of him increased.

[Invincible persona, synchronization value +1]

The Kunlun Mirror said indifferently.

As his synchronization value increased, his Enlightened Dao Heart aptitude could also be steadily displayed at 100%. During this period of time, his cultivation was ridiculously strong. It could be said to be an upgraded accelerator.

“Eldest Senior Brother, please take a look. This is the entrance to the leyline.” The disciple who accepted the mission this time was called Duan Tianbao, so he took the responsibility of leading the way.

Qiu Changtian took a closer look and indeed discovered that there was a small hole leading to the interior behind the vines in the cave.

“The spiritual energy here is very weak. It’s rare to be able to detect it.” Qiu Changtian smiled gently. “It’s so hidden that there might not be any cultivator ruins inside. Perhaps it’s just an empty natural leyline. Everyone, you have to be mentally prepared for this trip.”

“Of course. If there are really no ancient ruins, we will report to the sect and exchange this place for spirit stones. In short, there will definitely be a portion for Eldest Senior Brother,” everyone said.

“That won’t be necessary. I’m also here to keep all of you safe.”

“If it’s really an empty leyline and I didn’t do anything, I won’t accept spirit stones.” Qiu Changtian laughed loudly. He raised his hand and used the “Junior Light of Universal Voice” to disperse the darkness ahead before leading the way in.

Xu Yinglian followed behind silently. She thought to herself that her senior brother was really interesting. He always pretended to be so elegant to others. Who knew that his nature was not like that at all? She should really record his words that he used to anger her with a photostone and let these bootlickers listen.

Everyone followed closely behind him. The tunnel was winding and difficult to traverse. There was also moss attached to it, making it slippery and unstable.

After descending for more than 200 meters, it was still pitch-black ahead. The disciples who had yet to undergo marrow cleansing kept climbing down. They were already panting from exhaustion and hurriedly cast their gazes at the imposing figure of their Eldest Senior Brother.

Being begged silently by so many people, Qiu Changtian could only hold back Xu Yinglian, who wanted to continue forward, and signal for everyone to stop and rest.

The air in the cave was humid and deep, and the echoes echoed. The longer they stayed, the more sinister and terrifying it became. Many disciples vaguely wanted to retreat and did not dare to go deeper, so they asked Duan Tianbao to come and talk.

However, facing Qiu Changtian’s warm smile, Duan Tianbao could not bring himself to say it, so he said angrily to others, “Those who want to leave can leave by themselves. Don’t drag the Chief Senior Brother down for nothing!”

They all looked at each other, speechless.

After resting for a moment, they continued on their way.

After descending for hundreds of meters, they finally saw light. It was a night pearl embedded in the wall.

The following path had unknowingly changed from a natural cave to a squarish underground palace passageway. Seeing the green brick and gray wall, everyone was half excited and half afraid.

They were excited because this place was indeed not an empty leyline, but one that had been occupied by cultivators.

They were afraid because of the green brick and gray wall. Why did it look so sinister and strange?

Qiu Changtian watched coldly and pinched it between the walls.

Yes, there were indeed ashes mixed in. Others might not be able to tell, but Luo Yan had studied in the Yuqing Temple for so long. How could he not recognize such a refining technique of the evil sect?

The style seemed to be the early-stage refining style of the Yin Ghost Dao not long after the ancient Jie Sect split.

From the looks of it, this underground palace must be related to the ancient Yin Ghost Dao. However, the ancient cultivators who occupied this place were not very powerful.

Qiu Changtian silently took stock of his Dharma spells. He realized that be it the Yu Yan Sword or the Jade Pivot Thunder, they were both effective against Yin Ghosts. He called for everyone to continue forward.

As they walked deeper, the temperature became colder. From time to time, strange rustling sounds could be heard.

After a moment, a shadow suddenly pounced from the darkness. It was very fast. Before the Kunlun disciples could react, Qiu Changtian quickly raised his hand and released a jade-colored stream of light, nailing the black shadow to the wall. He reminded calmly, “This is a low-level zombie spider. Everyone, be careful.”

Hearing Eldest Senior Brother’s warning, everyone took out their flying swords and focused their attention.

Qiu Changtian raised his hand again, and the Yu Yan Sword flew back from the corpse.

Everyone looked at the zombie spider’s corpse and was very excited. They only felt that Eldest Senior Brother was indeed worthy of being Eldest Senior Brother. Even his sword techniques were much more proficient than theirs, so they felt even more admiration.

[Invincible persona, synchronization value+1]

Only Xu Yinglian was a little indignant. Her Yujia Sword was even faster than the Yu Yan Sword, but her reaction speed just now was slower than her senior brother. She had lost completely.

The team continued forward, clearing all the zombie spiders they encountered along the way.

This seemed to be their nest. They had killed more than 70 of them, but they could not kill them all.

Not long after, strange sounds suddenly sounded from the front and back at the same time. A large number of zombie spiders surged over from both sides and rushed towards the Kunlun disciples in the center!

Qiu Changtian was not afraid in the face of danger. He immediately shouted loudly to wake everyone up and ordered them to start forming a formation to face the enemy.

On the other side, more than ten disciples were either squatting or standing. They split into three rows and controlled their flying swords in order to repel the attacking zombie spiders.

The zombie spider was covered in hard fur and had a strong defense. Ordinary flying swords could not penetrate it with one strike. It took three or four strikes to kill one.

In just a few seconds, the disciples’ defense line was on the verge of collapse, and it was almost broken through many times. On the other side, Qiu Changtian controlled the Yu Yan Sword alone to kill the incoming zombie spiders.

The Yu Yan Sword was a seventh-stage metal-type flying sword, and he had obtained the essence of the Mount Shu Sword Technique. Therefore, this flying sword was actually unstoppable. No spider could block it. Basically, it was pierced through by the golden light and killed instantly.

On this side, he was fighting with ease. Seeing that the disciples behind him were in a difficult situation, he quickly asked Xu Yinglian to provide support.

Under his command, Xu Yinglian immediately wanted to compete with him. Yujia Sword also flew faster and faster, shuttling back and forth among the zombie spiders.

At that moment, the two of them executed exquisite sword techniques at the same time, chasing all the zombie spiders a few meters away.

[Invincible persona, synchronization value+1]

Everyone was dumbfounded. The spider tide alone was already something that no one could deal with even if they worked together. However, Senior Brother Qiu and Senior Sister Xu could actually defend alone with ease. Their strength was really unparalleled.

Then, they looked at Qiu Changtian’s elegant demeanor and Xu Yinglian’s clothes which fluttered in the wind, making the surrounding people feel inferior.

What an immortal couple!
