Chapter 307: Chapter 259: Underworld Array l


    “Is that how the Divine Wood Sect, despite being a major faction in the Eastern Wilderness, ns to kill me as an excuse to plunder the spiritual resources of my Guo family?”


    After blocking Bi Yiyuan’s attack with her Golden Jade Axe, Madame Guo spat out fresh blood. Her usual gentle demeanor instantly sharpened. She took two lead pellets colored purple-gold from her belt, and as she channeled her spiritual power into them, faint golden arcs of electricity began to dance around them.


    “Purple-gold God Thunder!”


    Seeing the two lead pellets in Madame Guo’s hand, Bi Yiyuan, who had been nning tounch another attack, immediately halted.


    Although ChenMobai didn’t know what those things were, he could sense the tremendous spiritual power contained within these small pellets. They were likely simr to the ‘hand-thunder’ used by the immortal factions.


    “Madame Guo, after the three of us entered here, you used your Golden Jade Axe to wake the Silver Armored Corpse and induced Yan Jinye and me to inject our spiritual power into the Corpse Suppression Curse, aiding the Silver Armored Corpse in breaking its seal. How do you exin this?”


    Mei Jingjun was a woman with slightly yellowish skin and a well-proportioned figure.


    Everyone present turned their suspicious gaze to the pale-faced Madame Guo after hearing Mei Jingjun’s words.


    “Don’t forget, you were the ones who invited me.”


    Although Madame Guo’s gaze was icy, she maintained herposure, rebutting each of Mei Jingjun’s usations with careful precision.<div>


    Chen Mobai could understand her predicament. After all, everyone present, apart from her, belonged to the Divine Wood Sect.


    If they all agreed that she was problematic, they could effortlessly dispose of her, then split the contents of her storage bag amongst themselves.


    She had no choice but to tread carefully.


    “Let’s move on. It’s not worth wasting time on her.”


    At this moment, Bi Yiyuan turned his grave gaze towards Feiming, who was slowly rising from Wumu Hall.


    Feiming, whom the transformation had turnedpletely into a Silver Armored Corpse, seemed to shimmer with a silver powder light. In the underground cavern, he appeared as bright as the moon, incredibly conspicuous.


    The tinkling sound of fighting resounded in the air above.


    Shan Hongyi, using his full firepower, controlled his crimson Flying Sword like a ming serpent, engaging in a heart-stopping battle with the Silver Armored Corpse, who had monopolized the only upward passage.


    ” Indeed, one of you was arranged toe here to disrupt the Corpse Suppression Curse.”


    Feiming, with silver powder applied to his face, held up the five-colored Lotus Lamp in his right hand andughed sinisterly. His statement made everyone present exchange uneasy looks.


    “It’s really you!” Yan Jinye eximed, her eyes filled with anger. She red at Madame Guo, who sneered coldly in return. Madame Guo didn’t offer a counterargument. She simply held the two lead pellets in her hand, her icy gaze sweeping over everyone present.


    “Be careful. This could be an attempt by the enemy to create discord amongst us.”


    At this point, Chen Mobai finally spoke. He had been observing for a while and had not found any problems so far. However,pared to the unknown truth about a possible mole, the current main goal was to leave this cave dwelling.


    “In any case, we need to get out of here first.”


    The moment Chen Mobai finished his sentence, everyone nodded in agreement.


    “Which way did you two sisterse from?”


    Bi Yiyuan took out a full suit of armor from his storage bag and quickly dressed himself in it, fully armed.


    “There is an underground passage at the bottom of thiske. We can reach another cavern through the undercurrent. After traversing for several kilometers, we can leave Lonely Spirit Ridge.”


    Upon hearing Yan Jinye’s words, Feiming chuckled coldly andnded heavily on the White Jade Sacrificial Altar.<div>


    At that moment, the earth shook violently.


    Stctites fell one after another, forcing Chen Mobai and the others to use various means to defend themselves or dodge them.


    “Oh no, he’s trying to copse the underground passage!”


    Yan Jinye instantly understood Feiming’s intention.<div>


    She summoned her magic artifact—a Medicine Hoe that Chen Mobai had seen before—to try to stop Feiming.


    However, the five-colored Lotus Lamp set off a burst of mes, and an invisible light barrier appeared again, freezing Yan Jinye’s Medicine Hoe in mid-air.


    Next, Feiming raised his hand and a gray deathly aura instantly enveloped the Medicine Hoe.


    Apanied by the crisp sound of falling, the Medicine Hoe lost all its spiritual light and fell into theke.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!


    The sharp sound of three Sword Qi shattering the air resonated. The three Sword Qi lined up in the air, forming a “H” character. They pierced into Feiming’s forehead, neck, and heart like startling sparks of lightning the moment the wick of the Lotus Lamp went out.


    However, the potentially lethal Red me Sword Qi was only able to leave a trace of charred tailings on Feiming’s silver-gray skin.


    This was due to the fire attribute of the Red me Sword Talisman used by Chen Mobai; had it been something else, it probably wouldn’t have even left a mark.


    Boom!


    Before Chen Mobai made his move, Bi Yiyuan, who had also seized the opportunity just as the light of the Lotus Lamp went out, swung his Wolf Fang Club heavily towards Feiming.


    However, his body couldn’t move as swiftly as the Sword Qi, so his attack reached Feiming only after the Red me Sword Qi had been blocked.


    Faced with the Wolf Fang Club’s impressive might—distinctly different from his previous strikes—Feiming didn’t seem to want to take any chances. He opened his mouth and spat out a golden bead that ricocheted like a marble, effectively stopping Bi Yiyuan’s all-out attack.


    Feiming’s dark golden pupils constricted, and the Lotus Lamp in his right hand reignited.<div>


    The invisible light barrier flickered, as if it was endowed with enormous strength. It forcefully repelled Bi Yiyuan.


    Whistle!


    At this moment, Chen Mobai, who had been waiting for this opportunity, controlled his Divine Wood Sword. Like a fish swimming through water, he slipped through the gap as the barrier disappeared when themp wick extinguished. He lightly circled Feiming’s neck with his sword.
