Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Inside the Cave Abode.

Qiao Baiyang and the others explored cautiously, constantly avoiding the dangerous golden mist.

From the Outside, it was merely a mountain a thousand meters high.

But in Reality, upon entering Inside, they discovered the space was enormous.

The Spiritual Energy of the underground spirit vein provided the Cave Abode with an Endless supply of energy.

So far, they were still Wandering in the Outer Perimeter; to thoroughly Deep Entry would still require some time.

"It seems the Master of this Cave Abode is not a Qin Hua Golden Core."

"You mean... it's actually an Earth Grade Golden Core?"

"The Gengjin Qi here is too dense, far Surpassing my imagination!"

Qiao Baiyang and Shi Qingyan transmitted their voices while exploring cautiously.

Little did they know, at the very position they had just occupied, another figure Appeared.

His whole body was silver-white, enveloped by Thunder Power, with Dense currents of electricity emanating from all around him.

It was none other than Xu Zhangqing wearing the Spiritual Connection armor; he watched carefully and thought to himself: "The Layout here is wrong; the Cave Abode's Master possesses not just one kind of Spiritual Root."

When he was Outside, because he only sensed Gengjin Qi, he assumed the other party had only a Metal Spirit Root.

Now taking a look, he Discovered it was an Earth-born Gold Layout, indicating the other party at least Possessed two kinds of Spiritual Roots: an Earth Spirit Root and a Metal Spirit Root.

Thick Earth as the foundation, Gengjin as the application.

Knowledge related to Spiritual Arrays was utilized Inside here.

Although the Cave Abode's Master was only at the Golden Core Stage, his Identity and origins were probably not simple.

Five people.

Four in Front, one at the Back, they advanced bit by bit like this.

After a while, five thick Vines appeared ahead.

Xu Zhangqing recognized them at a glance: these were Thick Earth Vines, not Ordinary Spirit Plants, but Rare Spirit Plants.

The vine stems gleamed with a brown luster, their root systems deeply anchored in the Earth, and their leaves were densely covered with a Large Amount of golden specks.

Perhaps Perceiving someone Approaching, these Thick Earth Vines moved; the vines instantly intertwined into a net, not only blocking everyone's path but also releasing a mist similar to the golden mist at the Side.

Only, it looked even more Heavy.

Seeing This Is the scene, Shi Qingyan finally reacted, exclaiming: "The Cave Abode's Master actually possesses two Spiritual Roots — an Earth Grade Golden Core."

Qiao Baiyang was greatly shocked: "What?!"

The two children at the Side completely couldn't understand, only seeing the adults all so astonished.

They felt it should be extremely Powerful, or rather not simple, and their hearts grew increasingly Nervous.

Shi Qingyan's face turned cold as he pointed at the Thick Earth Vines ahead and said: "What this thing releases is not mist, but Shu Ling Qi.

It requires an Earth Spirit Root and a Metal Spirit Root working together to Slain it."

Qiao Baiyang looked somewhat troubled: "But... I have a Wood Spirit Root."

Shi Qingyan said with a hint of regret: "Looks like only I can Enter Inside alone."

At these words, Qiao Baiyang's face turned very ugly: "Hard to Say you want me to wait Outside?"

Shi Qingyan spread his hands: "No choice; who told you not to have an Earth or Metal Spirit Root."

Qiao Baiyang was speechless: "You... you..."

Shi Qingyan said with a half-smile: "Rest assured, once Inside, I'll find a way to Remove the restriction at the Entrance."

As for when to Remove it, that would depend on his mood.

However, they were all adults, some having lived several Hundred Years.

Not one of them would be called deeply scheming, but neither would they Easily trust others.

Qiao Baiyang was initially a bit upset, but suddenly grinned: "We're all One's Own People, so of course I trust you; don't worry, I'll handle the Outside."

Especially that last word "I", he bit down on it heavily.

Shi Qingyan's heart tightened upon hearing this, then he mused: "How about this — I won't go in alone either; I'll take this youth with me."

The youth naturally referred to Li Muyao.

Although he looked unremarkable, he was the old thing's treasured darling.

Therefore, not waiting for Qiao Baiyang to react, Shi Qingyan grabbed him and pulled him away.

In the blink of an eye, the two arrived in Front of the Thick Earth Vines.

Just as if the Cave Abode's Master had foreseen it, an Ordinary Person without Spiritual Power or magic power would not suffer any Injury here.

Not waiting for Qiao Baiyang behind to stop them, Shi Qingyan Immediately activated his Earth magic power, pouring it Endlessly into the five Thick Earth Vines before him.

Soothed by the Earth magic power, the Shu Ling Qi that had restricted everything suddenly opened a gap.

She didn't hesitate, dragging Li Muyao and flashing Inside.

And with the Earth-attribute magic power gone to soothe them, as the five Thick Earth Vines shook slightly, the gap the Shu Ling Qi had opened closed again.

Qiao Baiyang's face was incomparably gloomy; the other party didn't take the now-useless Sun Shangxiang, but instead took Li Muyao whom he truly valued.

This way, he couldn't make any Small Move on the Outside.

It wasn't that he couldn't react in time, but that he couldn't stop it.

Once he turned hostile, he would be completely cut off from the treasures inside the Cave Abode.

At that moment, a voice came from behind him: "Looks like everything inside belongs to her now."

Qiao Baiyang said indignantly: "One day I will make her, and them too, all..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized something and sharply turned his head to look.

He saw a fellow covered head to toe in silver spirit armor, actually standing behind him, with the distance between them less than three meters.

"You... who are you?"

"How to put it... I'm one of the people who bully you!"

"Ah?"

Whoosh!

Thunder light flashed, electricity surged.

Such a close distance, such a fast speed.

Even though Qiao Baiyang's spirit talismans and magic tools activated on their own upon sensing danger.

They had no meaning, or rather, no effect.

Xu Zhangqing lunged forward, the electric saber in his hand slashing across.

The spirit talisman snapped.

The magic tool shattered.

Along with it, Qiao Baiyang's withered body was split in two.

But the next second, the old fellow's Qin Hua Golden Core broke through his Qi Sea and immediately rose into the air.

First it scanned the thing that had attacked it, thinking of inscribing a mark to take revenge later.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it flew up, a Five-Colored Divine Light appeared.

It could not dodge.

It could not outrun.

At the moment of contact, consciousness, divine soul, and spirit all returned to nothingness.

A dull, lusterless Golden Core, "Sixth Thread," fell from the air.

Xu Zhangqing opened his right hand to catch the Golden Core, then sighed: "A Qin Hua Golden Core isn't as good as a dog!"

Although he was slightly lacking in cultivation realm.

But in every aspect—mana, cultivation methods, spells, Golden Core grade—he had completely crushed him.

Everything happened too fast; Xiao Shangxiang couldn't react at all.

She only felt the light was a bit dazzling, then a figure flickered, and where her "Master" had originally stood, a silver giant worm appeared.

Xu Zhangqing summoned the Ancestor and ordered: "Protect her; I will enter the Cave Abode alone."

Receiving the order, the Ancestor picked up Xiao Shangxiang, then stood to the side waiting.

Before leaving, Xu Zhangqing pulled out a pile of snacks and stuffed them into her arms, counting it as comforting her.

Then he came before the Thick Earth Vine; because it was a Rare Spirit Plant, he did not destroy it, but instead released a faint mana, opening a gap in the Shu Ling Qi.

Next, his figure flickered, and the whole person vanished into it.

On the Left Side, Shi Qingyan looked around in surprise and uncertainty: "Where is that youth?"
