Chapter 249: Uninterested in Killing
The corridor was very long, but the four of them didn’t take too much time to walk through it completely.
When he couldn’t sense the aura of the array, Su Jingzhen didn’t have any other feelings.
He didn’t suffer any rejection, so he was completely relieved.
At the end of the bronze corridor, there was a rather spacious area.
Su Jingzhe and his friends estimated that its area should be as large as the lake outside the Feng Family Treasure Pavilion.
The floor was paved with black stone slabs, and the surrounding walls were no longer flat, but instead had many uneven shadows.
Hundreds of lanterns floated in the air, illuminating the area.
As soon as they arrived, Su Jingzhen and the others had their first impression: the spiritual energy here was extremely dense.
In Su Jingzhen’s opinion, the density of the spiritual energy here was comparable to that of the mysterious place at the bottom of Clear Wind Mountain.
Sensing this, the four of them felt a hint of excitement.As alchemists with relatively high levels, they naturally knew that cultivating in this environment would have a multiplier effect.
At this time, Bai Xiu said with some surprise, “I’ve heard that the Feng family’s ancestral land in Yunmeng City has a small spiritual vein. It seems that the rumors are true, and this should be the eye of the spiritual vein.”
As soon as Bai Xiu spoke, Su Jingzhen and Xuening’s expressions changed again.
They had also heard of the spiritual vein.
Any sect or family that sat on a spiritual vein would definitely not be ordinary.
Nurtured by the spiritual vein, the children born in this family or sect would have a higher chance of having spiritual roots.
This was the innate advantage of a large sect or family.
After a moment of emotion, Su Jingzhen and the others looked towards the center of the space.
In the center, where the spiritual energy was most dense, a figure was indeed sitting.
However, the person looked emaciated.
He sat on a meditation cushion, his head slowly drooping, his hair dry and gray.
Everyone naturally knew that it was the Feng family’s ancestor.
But this appearance made them feel a sense of unease.
They secretly wondered if he wasn’t already dead, just a dried-up corpse.
And even if he was just in a deep sleep, could he still produce the toxic blood needed for alchemy in his emaciated state?
“This time, it seems to be even more difficult than we imagined.
It’s truly a challenging task.”
“Let’s go and take a look at the situation.
The Feng family has prepared a hundred sets of Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill materials for us. If we four work together, as long as the Feng family’s ancestor is still alive, the success rate should be quite high.”
Ye Zhiqiu spoke to Su Jingzhen and the others with a serious tone.
As soon as she finished speaking, she was about to head towards the central position where the Feng family’s ancestor was sitting.
“Heh heh, whether the ancestor lives or dies is up to his own fate. But for you all to be buried in the Feng family’s spiritual vein is indeed a worthy end for talented alchemists like yourselves.”
Su Jingzhen and the others hadn’t moved yet, but suddenly, a cold laughter echoed.
Su Jingzhen and the others immediately turned their gazes towards the direction of the sound.
They saw that from the dark areas at the edge of the space, figures were emerging one by one.
There were ten people in total.
All of them were young, and their auras revealed that they had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.
Even five or six of them had reached the late or peak stage of Foundation Establishment.
At this time, each of their faces had a cold smile, and their killing intent was not concealed at all.
Among them, Su Jingzhen recognized one person.
It was the black-clothed youth who had followed Feng Mingyan before.
Su Jingzhen didn’t know the youth’s name, but seeing him, he understood who these people were.
Feng Mingyan really did have a way to seek death.
“Who are you?” Ye Zhiqiu and Bai Xiu’s expressions changed suddenly.
They instinctively moved closer to Su Jingzhen and Xuening.
The two of them felt a bit of tension.
All along, they had considered themselves to be outstanding disciples of the Alchemist Association, and in the Feng family and even in the entire Yunmeng City, no one would dare to do anything to them.
But now, it seemed that they had overestimated their own identities.
When Ye Zhiqiu asked, the black-clothed youth laughed and said, “I am Liu Jinfeng, a nobody. But perhaps after today, I will become famous.”
Before Ye Zhiqiu could ask again, Liu Jinfeng laughed and said, “How do you think this burial site I’ve chosen for you all is? It’s the Feng family’s spiritual vein, after all. Perhaps after your corpses are scattered here, the Feng family’s disciples will be able to produce some alchemy geniuses in the future.”
“Hahaha, in that case, the Feng family will have to thank us for this favor.”
“……”
When the guys in front of them said this, they all looked at Su Jingzhen and the others with ridicule.
And while they were speaking, they had already surrounded Su Jingzhen and the others, trapping them in the middle.
Bai Xiu and Ye Zhiqiu were slow to react, but they finally understood the other party’s killing intention.
Their faces turned extremely dark and gloomy.
“Do you know what you’re doing? I am Vice President Ouyang’s disciple from the Alchemist Association. If you retreat now, I can pretend this never happened. Otherwise, you and the powers you represent, as well as your friends and family, will all suffer the consequences of your actions! Don’t doubt my words!”
At this time, Ye Zhiqiu’s tone was very stern.
However, when Liu Jinfeng heard her words, he laughed again and said, “That’s indeed the case. We’re also afraid of implicating our loved ones, so we can’t let the four of you leave here safely.”
“And it seems that Miss Ye doesn’t know that there’s an Evil Moon Sect Chief Acolyte with a higher status than yours standing behind you.”
“Killing one important person is killing, and killing four is also killing. So, Miss Ye, you don’t need to have any illusions anymore. From the moment you chose to enter this place, your fate was already sealed.”
As he said this, Liu Jinfeng’s smile was still on his face, but his killing intent had already reached its peak.
He didn’t wait for Ye Zhiqiu’s response and instead looked at the other nine people beside him.
“Let’s do it. The sooner we send the four masters on their way, the sooner we can leave.”
Su Jingzhen’s expression remained calm throughout.
But seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
‘I didn’t expect that the first thing we’d do after entering here wouldn’t be alchemy, but rather a massacre. Actually, I’ve never been too interested in killing.’
Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, and then the black storage ring on his hand flashed a faint light.
The black brick had already appeared in his hand.
