?Chapter 1006: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 102 Woman Chapter 1006: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 102 Woman The large man with the big head was not polite at all, and immediately led the three ancient devilish techniques practitioners straight to the stone steps marked for the Demon Suppression Tower.


    The square-faced cultivator also cupped his fists towards the scholar and, clutching the Heaven Stretching Bracelet in his hand, his figure flitted several times before gradually disappearing on the middle stone steps.


    The scholar did not lead the remaining people to leave immediately but, after witnessing the eccentric and square-faced cultivator finally disappear into the white fog at the end of the stone steps, retracted his gaze and turned his face indifferently to an elder beside him, saying,


    “Elder Feng, how many sets of formation flags and plates do we still have on hand?”


    “Reporting to the Great Elder.


    In accordance with your instructions, we left our Temporary Spell Formation in place after dismantling each restrictive formation.


    So far, aside from the Purple Forbidden Seven Stars Great Array that cost hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, we no longer have any formation establishing tools left,” the elder replied respectfully.


    “Hmm, then let’s set up this Purple Forbidden Seven Stars Array right here.


    And also release the group of Tigerhead Bees and the two Vampire Bats into the array,” the scholar commanded without hesitation.


    “Yes!” The elder immediately responded, slapped his hand to his waist, and a stack of purple misty formation flags appeared in his hand; then he strode toward one side of the plaza.


    Only then did the scholar look back towards the direction of the mountain’s foot, with an uncertain expression on his face, silently pondering something.


    An hour later, the figures of the scholar and the others also disappeared on another stone staircase.


    At this time, far below the mountain, perhaps tens of thousands of feet down at the mountain’s waist, Han Li and his party were just passing through the giant archway of the Gate of Thousand Cultivators.


    Here, the Ye Clan cultivators had set up a fairly clever Illusion Array, which could trap Core Formation cultivators for at least several days-but facing so many Nascent Soul cultivators, it was almost instantly dismantled by Qian the devil and Hua Tianqi, failing to even slightly delay them.

    Upon seeing the giant archway of the Gate of Thousand Cultivators, Qian the devil and others had no doubt that this place was Kunwu Mountain.


    Everyone, except for Han Li and two others, became extremely excited.


    They quickly chased up the mountain.


    Consequently, as they followed the stone steps up, they naturally encountered other restrictive formations set by the Ye Clan.


    Far from discouraging Qian the devil and the others, these encounters only made them more impatient.


    However, the restrictive formations set up by the Ye Clan and others were each more formidable than the last.


    Despite their reliance on their mighty mana, Qian the devil and the rest finally broke through them using brute force.


    Still, they were inevitably delayed somewhat.


    A full day and night passed before they finally reached the giant stone hall teeming with Stone Puppets.


    “Fellow Daoists, be careful.


    If there are restrictive formations here as well, they will probably be more troublesome.


    The people ahead of us were really generous, carrying around so many formation establishing tools.


    It seems that even if they are not cultivators from the Ten Great Sects, they must be from another extremely large power,” Hua Tianqi looked ahead at the ancient hall vaguely visible in the distance, his expression slightly serious.


    “Hmph, exhibiting such generosity, to set up a forbidden area, even managing to create the formation flag and plate for the Extreme Frost and Flame Array.


    Not every one of the Ten Great Sects could achieve this.


    I’m somewhat curious about the true identities of those people ahead of us,” said Qian the devil coldly.


    “However, chasing them all this way, those people have effectively broken through the restrictive formations of Kunwu Mountain for us.


    It did us a favor.


    Even if we’re temporarily hindered by their restrictive formations, we will definitely catch up with them,” Hua Tianqi confidently continued.


    “Let’s hope so,” said Qian the devil, his voice indifferent.


    As they were speaking, more than a dozen figures burst into the hall.


    The remains of each puppet scattered throughout the stone hall startled everyone, causing them all to stop and look around.


    “There’s no fluctuation of restrictive formations, they didn’t set up any traps here, which is really unexpected,” Hua Tianqi scanned the stone hall with his Divine Sense and hesitantly commented.


    “That’s quite normal!


    I guess those people have almost exhausted their formation establishing tools,” chuckled the well-to-do elder.


    “But what are these things?


    I’ve never heard of puppets made of stone,” the large Nascent Soul cultivator’s gaze swept across the ground and he frowned slightly.


    “These are not Stone Puppets, they should correctly be called spirit stones?


    They involve a secret technique that forcibly embeds the souls of demon beasts into specially crafted stone statues.


    This technique was once prevalent in ancient times but later vanished for some unknown reason,” said one person unhurriedly as he bent down, picked up a piece of broken stone from the ground, and examined it.


    It was Han Li, who had seldom spoken since they set out from the stone kiosks.


    “Oh, Fellow Daoist Han, you also know about such ancient techniques?” Hua Tianqi looked at Han Li in surprise.


    “It’s nothing.


    I have some research into Puppetry Technique.


    But it’s a pity these are all damaged artifacts.


    Otherwise, I would really like to study them thoroughly,” said Han Li, tossing the stone piece in his hand, which rolled around several times on the bluestone floor with a bang.


    He had already discovered that these spirit stone remains appeared to be just ordinary rock material.


    Although they had also undergone special refining, the most important thing was clearly some strange Array runes inscribed on the surface of the broken stones.


    It was impossible to discern anything from these shattered remains.


    “Fellow Daoist Han, if you want to get a complete spirit stone, it’s quite easy.


    Perhaps a few still remain in those collapsed areas over there!” One of the cultivators rolled his eyes and, pointing to a collapsed corridor, said to Han Li with a smile.


    Han Li’s gaze shifted and saw that it was a middle-aged cultivator with an honest and sincere face.


    It was none other than Scatter Zheng Wei.


    Han Li was not from the Great Jin and thus did not know of this person’s notorious reputation.


    However, with his experience in judging people, he would not judge based on appearance alone.


    After giving a slight smile, as he was about to say something, Qian the devil suddenly shouted loudly:


    “Demon spawn, looking for death.”


    Following that, five white shadows raised their hands simultaneously, and immediately, ten gray light beams shot out from the palms, striking an uninhabited area nearby.


    After a rumbling noise, purple light twinkled, and a lion-headed, four-winged strange bird appeared out of thin air, staring fiercely at everyone.


    It was the Lion Bird that had attacked the Ye Clan cultivators before!


    This ferocious bird had somehow stealthily approached with the intention of launching a sneak attack on Qian the devil’s Five Devils.


    Surprisingly, its claw, which had been partially severed by the Great Elder of the Ye Family, had now fully healed without a trace of the severe damage it had suffered before.


    However, having learned its lesson from before, the bird reacted immediately upon being exposed.


    Flapping its wings together, it turned into a burst of purple light and shot towards the rear.


    Qian the devil did not urge the Five Devils to pursue, and the other cultivators, startled by the Lion Bird’s fearsome appearance, hesitated for a moment.


    This allowed the beast to escape from the stone hall in the blink of an eye, vanishing without a trace.


    “A Lion Bird!


    Such a creature exists here!” Hua Tianqi exhaled deeply and muttered, his expression growing dark.


    He asked himself if he had encountered this fierce bird alone, his chances of surviving would have been slim.


    The elder with the surname Fu and Bai Yaoyi exchanged glances, seeing a hint of fear in each other’s eyes.


    They were very aware that a Silver-winged Yaksha, an even more powerful creature, was also roaming the mountain.


    However, due to their own thoughts, both Han Li and the other two remained silent about it, and the other cultivators were unaware of this monstrous creature’s existence.


    The remaining cultivators, including the large man, also turned pale.


    Such ancient demonic birds were as powerful as late Nascent Soul cultivators and were naturally not to be trifled with.


    However, after the appearance of the Lion Bird, Han Li, who had felt somewhat tempted to explore the corridor, now dismissed the idea from his mind.


    Since there was not only the Silver-winged Yaksha but also such a creature on the mountain, it seemed safer to move along with the group for now.


    Han Li and the others did not know that the moment the demonic bird flew out of the stone hall, it circled and headed down the side of the mountain.


    After about half an hour of flying, it suddenly landed on a uniquely vibrant green tree and emitted an extremely unpleasant cry, much like a ghost’s wail.


    “Enough, I get it!


    You’re just asking me to seek revenge for you, aren’t you?


    You really think I’m interested in doing that?


    After being trapped in that dark, sunless underwater place for so many years, I finally managed to escape, and I don’t want to court trouble again.


    Besides, both groups of human cultivators are Nascent Soul cultivators, and none of them are easy adversaries.”


    A voice, grating like a broken gong, came through, and soon after, a flash of green light revealed a roughly ten-foot-high tree hollow.


    A woman in black emerged from it, looking impatient.


    This woman had a waist as wide as a barrel, dark skin, and although the bun of hair on her head was jet black, two tufts protruded several inches out, white as can be, making her look exceedingly ugly.


    Upon hearing her words, the Lion Bird seemed to burst into fury, with its eyes flashing red and its cries growing even more mournful.


    “You wish!


    You were the one who was careless enough to get half of your claws cut off by those cultivators.


    Why should I seek revenge for you?


    Besides, the descendants of the three Kunwu siblings imprisoned us here with the Spirit-Trapping Formation, intending for us to guard this mountain.


    I absolutely refuse to play into their hands,” the woman said, her hands on her hips and grinding her teeth as she spoke to the Lion Bird.


    “But if we don’t eliminate the intruders and these cultivators break into the Kunwu Hall, taking away the Four Spirits Plaque that restrains us, we might end up being commanded by someone else again,” said another man’s voice suddenly from above.


    Then, with a flash of green light, the Silver-winged Yaksha appeared out of thin air.


    “Hmph!


    As if they can break into the Kunwu Hall.


    Do you think the hall’s restrictive formations are for show?


    Especially the Greatnorth Essence Light; it’s impossible to guard against.


    If those people really try to break into Kunwu Hall, they are dead for sure,” the ugly woman said, nonchalantly rebuking the Yaksha’s arrival.


    “Daoist Gui, that’s not necessarily true.


    Even though the Greatnorth Essence Light is powerful, among those who are breaking through the formations, there are late Nascent Soul human cultivators.


    It’s very possible they possess precious items capable of defending against the Greatnorth Essence Light.


    And don’t you really want to take this opportunity to retrieve our Life Origin Tokens?


    Otherwise, even though we’ve escaped the Spirit-Trapping Formation, we still can’t take a single step away from Kunwu Mountain,” the Silver-winged Yaksha said calmly.
