Chapter 433: Those with Affinity Shall Possess It

"What a deep scheme!"

Li Rui narrowed his eyes.

Every scene that happened in the spirit mine was clearly seen by him.

The Qingwei Sect had schemed against all the demonic cultivators.

The top-grade spirit stones were fake.

It was just a means for the Qingwei Sect to lure the demonic cultivators into the trap; as an outsider, he saw it more clearly. Daoist Su Xuan Wei was clearly outside the spirit mine long ago, ready to strike at any time.

No need to look anymore.

Those demonic cultivators had lost, and if there were no surprises, they would have to fill it with their lives.

He decisively turned and walked down the small hill; when Daoist Su Xuan Wei appeared, the outcome of everything was already doomed, no need to keep watching.

Everything was a trap deliberately set by the Qingwei Sect.

Walking down the mountain.

Li Rui took out the Spirit-Seeking Compass from his sleeve; he injected the Chang Qing Qi into it and then activated it with a magic formula.

Originally, he just wanted to confirm again whether the Qingwei Sect's top-grade spirit stones were real.

But what he didn't expect was.

This time, the Spirit-Seeking Compass actually changed direction and pointed toward another place in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

A flash of astonishment flashed in Li Rui's eyes.

Soon there was realization.

Everything was a smoke screen cast by the Qingwei Sect.

Eliminating the demonic cultivators was true, and the top-grade spirit stones were even more true.

Those top-grade spirit stones had long since crossed the sea in secret and been transported elsewhere!

Half an hour ago.

In the Ten Thousand Mountains.

A figure walked slowly in the mountain forest, almost perfectly merging with the surroundings.

It was not just vision, but even cultivators could not detect it.

If there were people from the Qingwei Sect who could see through the invisible barrier.

They would certainly recognize at a glance that the person was Daoist Su Xuan Cheng of the Qingwei Sect.

At this time.

Daoist Su Xuan Cheng was operating an extremely special array; this array could cover all auras, including the top-grade spirit stones in his hand.

It was precisely by relying on this array that he could avoid the prying eyes of over a hundred demonic cultivators.

Long before the demonic cultivators' surprise attack, he had left one step ahead.

The only drawback was perhaps that the moving speed was relatively slow.

But there was no other way.

Arrays were almost all immovable; Su Xuan Cheng setting up a movable array was already an extraordinary great ability.

Su Xuan Cheng turned his head and glanced at the spirit mine.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Stupid!"

Everything was a trap he and Su Xuan Yu had set together, which could not only kill all those demonic cultivators who dared to covet the Qingwei Sect but also take this opportunity to send the top-grade spirit stones to the Qingwei Sect.

As long as they received the protection of Great True Person Qing Ding, no one would be able to snatch them away again.

Some people would ask.

Why didn't Great True Person Qing Ding take action himself?

Because that Great True Person was not yet invincible in the human world.

If he had taken action, wouldn't the sect masters of the Yu Kingdom, the Wu Kingdom, and even those great immortal sects also have to take action?

Wouldn't it turn the world upside down?

So this was a tacit understanding between great figures.

After all, no one wanted to reach the most rigid situation.

People below could make trouble, but it wouldn't directly involve the top layer.

Otherwise, the top-grade spirit stones would let the First-Rank fight to the death.

That First-Rank would have long since died in unknown numbers.

Su Xuan Cheng turned his head, preparing to continue on his way; he just wanted to walk to the Qingwei Sect as quickly as possible to prevent long nights and many dreams.

But just at this time—

A young cultivator walked out slowly from the forest ahead.

That young cultivator looked at Daoist Su Xuan Cheng with a smile.

Looking at the strange Daoist who suddenly appeared and blocked his way, Daoist Su Xuan Cheng's face changed.

His footsteps paused, and he looked at the young cultivator in front of him with caution.

It was not hard to see.

That young Daoist was clearly waiting for him here long ago.

Su Xuan Cheng was shocked in his heart.

'How could he possibly discover me?!'

This matter was extremely secret, and the route was also decided temporarily; even in the Qingwei Sect, only very few people knew.

Then the young cultivator spoke slowly: "I was wondering who it was; it turns out to be Mr. Chen of the Divine Profound Palace."

Hearing the three words "Mr. Chen".

Su Xuan Cheng was completely unsettled.

Even in the cultivation world, very few people knew that he was actually surnamed Chen before joining the Divine Profound Palace.

'He is a person from the cultivation world!'

Su Xuan Cheng's muscles were tense, and he was even more cautious.

Ji Lei smiled slightly: "Mr. Chen, I have waited for you so bitterly."

But then his words became cold:

"So, will you give it yourself, or shall I come and take it?"

Following this was the terrifying pressure exclusive to Heavenly Phenomenon Realm cultivators.

"Heavenly Phenomenon!"

Su Xuan Cheng's heart sank.

Almost at the same time, he had already activated his magic formula and removed the array around his body; now there was no need for concealment.

He could only fight to the death.

Ji Lei took a deep breath and showed an enjoying expression:

"Sure enough, it's the scent of top-grade spirit stones."

Just as Su Xuan Cheng was preparing to cast a magic formula to escape, Ji Lei had already sacrificed his magic treasure.

It was a small flying sword the size of a thumb.

The small flying sword seemed to be able to cross space, appearing out of thin air at Su Xuan Cheng's brow, completely without any trajectory to speak of.

Puchi.

Su Xuan Cheng hadn't even had time to resist.

His brow was pierced by the small flying sword.

A drop of bright red blood bloomed from his brow... and dripped down.

Su Xuan Cheng's pupils widened and then dissipated.

Finally, he collapsed weakly on the ground, his soul already dissipated.

In front of Ji Lei, he almost had no power to fight back.

It was not that Su Xuan Cheng was too weak, but that Ji Lei was too powerful.

The two sides were too far apart.

Ji Lei walked to Su Xuan Cheng's corpse, then picked up the top-grade spirit stones in Su Xuan Cheng's bosom, and weighed them twice with satisfaction.

He had prepared for this.

For a full several years.

The Qingwei Sect thought they had crossed the sea in secret, little did they know the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

He had long used the secret method of the Wan Wan Fadian to spy on the Qingwei Sect's scheme.

So when those demonic cultivators were fighting to the death in the spirit mine, he had long been waiting here.

Intercepting and killing Su Xuan Cheng.

Just as Ji Lei picked up the top-grade spirit stones.

A person's angry shout suddenly sounded in the sky: "You brat, don't run!"

And then they saw a stream of light rise from the direction of the spirit mine, heading straight for Ji Lei.

Ji Lei raised an eyebrow:

"Actually carried a life tablet with him."

Looking at Su Xuan Wei and Su Xuan Yu coming to kill him, there was not much fear in Ji Lei's eyes.

He waved his sleeve.

A small boat appeared in front of him.

Stepping on the small boat, it turned into a rainbow light and disappeared into the horizon.

Su Xuan Wei and Su Xuan Yu also chased closely behind.

The Ten Thousand Mountains soon returned to silence.

On the ground, only the corpse of Daoist Su Xuan Cheng lay quietly.

An array master, just like this, fell, which inevitably made people sigh.

Just a few breaths after Su Xuan Wei and Su Xuan Yu left, Li Rui walked out from the forest.

Just now he was hiding in the distance.

Everything that happened here was seen by him.

It was a coincidence.

If Ji Lei hadn't appeared and Su Xuan Cheng hadn't removed the covering array, he really wouldn't have had the opportunity to discover everything here through the Spirit-Seeking Compass.

He first looked up at the sky.

Determining that the two Daoists Su Xuan Wei and Su Xuan Yu would not return immediately.

And then took out a talisman.

Using an invisibility talisman to wipe away the traces of his presence here; after doing all this, he finally came to Su Xuan Cheng's corpse.

Li Rui searched quickly.

Soon he noticed an anomaly.

In Su Xuan Cheng's bosom, there was actually a small array.

And even though Su Xuan Cheng was already dead, the array had not yet dissipated.

It must be an extremely important thing.

Otherwise, Su Xuan Cheng would not have spent so much effort.

Li Rui pondered, and then took out a Third-Rank Prohibition-Breaking Talisman from his bosom.

The Prohibition-Breaking Talisman turned into a divine light and hit the small array.

Only hearing a crisp sound like glass shattering.

The small array dissipated.

What appeared next was actually a spirit stone the size of half a fist.

Li Rui's pupils narrowed slightly.

'Top-grade spirit stones!'

He didn't expect Su Xuan Cheng to have privately hidden top-grade spirit stones.

Thinking about it, it should have been privately hidden by Su Xuan Cheng; if everything went smoothly, he would not only be able to make a great contribution but also obtain a piece of top-grade spirit stone.

It was a double happiness.

But he never expected to encounter Ji Lei's interception and finally lose his life.

It actually benefited Li Rui.

Li Rui took the top-grade spirit stones in his hand without hesitation and then wrapped them in several layers of invisibility talismans.

His whole person immediately turned into a phantom and escaped into the ground.

In just the blink of an eye.

He arrived at the mountains dozens of miles away.

Li Rui's face looked a bit pale; running dozens of miles in an instant just now, this kind of explosion consumed his spiritual energy greatly.

Even he was a bit strained.

Of course.

These were not worth mentioning compared to the top-grade spirit stones in his hand.

Li Rui didn't have the slightest hesitation.

Several talismans flew out from his sleeve, surrounding the top-grade spirit stones layer by layer.

Although he had never seen these top-grade spirit stones, he had long since consulted the secret guard files.

Top-grade spirit stones were different from ordinary spirit stones.

Not only was the spiritual energy contained within more pure, but they also had special effects.

As for what the effect was.

Different top-grade spirit stones were not the same.

So wanting to refine top-grade spirit stones required at least half a month, which was also why the people of the Qingwei Sect wanted to transport the top-grade spirit stones to the Qingwei Sect instead of refining them directly at the spirit mine.

Li Rui also assumed in advance how to deal with it if he obtained top-grade spirit stones, so he prepared the sealing talismans early.

It took a full dozen sealing talismans to completely cover the special aura of the top-grade spirit stones.

'As expected of top-grade spirit stones.'

Li Rui praised in his heart.

At this time.

After confirming that the aura of the top-grade spirit stones was no longer leaking.

Li Rui pondered slightly.

Only then did he head toward the Yu Kingdom spirit mine camp.

A quarter of an hour later.

Su Xuan Wei and Su Xuan Yu returned.

Looking at Su Xuan Cheng's corpse on the ground, their faces were extremely ugly.

Daoist Su Xuan Yu looked at his senior brother: "Senior brother, the person just now should be a person from the cultivation world."

Su Xuan Wei nodded:

"It's the Wan Wan Fadian."

Hearing these three words.

Su Xuan Yu was shocked in his heart.

Among the senior and junior brothers, if one were to talk about who knew the most about the cultivation world, it was only the eldest senior brother Su Xuan Wei; the other senior and junior brothers knew too little, too little about the upper world.

Daoist Su Xuan Wei looked at Su Xuan Cheng's corpse:

"Bury Su Xuan Cheng well."

"Yes, senior brother."

Daoist Su Xuan Yu nodded, his eyes gloomy.

This time, although the Qingwei Sect beheaded quite a few demonic cultivators, the top-grade spirit stones were snatched away.

The loss could not be said to be small.

Fortunately, very few people knew about this matter; in the eyes of the outside world, the Qingwei Sect still won a great victory.

At least it preserved its reputation.

This was perhaps the fortune in misfortune.

Su Xuan Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in thought.

Wan Wan Fadian... Northern Pole Demonic Sect.

He knew.

That Northern Pole Demonic Sect was another sub-sect of the Wan Wan Fadian in this world after the Purple Gold Palace.

This time's account naturally had to be settled on the Northern Pole Demonic Sect.

As the saying goes, the monk can run, but the temple cannot.

The Northern Pole Demonic Sect was currently fighting a great war with the Yu Kingdom for the spirit mine; there were plenty of opportunities for revenge.

'This matter will not end just like this.'
