Chapter 203: Making the Best of a Bad Situation

inquire about the situation. They were all amazed upon learning that the huge palm print was caused by a fight, and they knew how strong those stone bricks were. They were not easily destroyed by norm...Chapter 203: Making Use Of The Trap

Schenxiang wandered around Shuangjian City and bought a map, which depicted the mountains near Shuangjian City. He compared it with the map provided by Senior Qing, only to find that there were significant differences in the routes. Although both maps led to the vein of minerals, they took different paths and the route provided by Senior Qing was farther away and required a more circuitous journey. The map he bought himself, on the other hand, was much closer and followed a major road.

"It seems that Senior Qing really intends to deceive me," Schenxiang silently chuckled.

"Let the trap work in your favor and finish off those lurking on the road," Schenxiang left Shuangjian City, following the route provided by Senior Qing.

Entering a forest, there was indeed a path here. Schenxiang could tell that this path had just been created, confirming his suspicion that Senior Qing was colluding with the villainous sect to deceive him.

The strongest member of the Lu family was in the villainous sect, and this person had even transmitted cultivation techniques to Lu Zhengnan, making the Lu family have dealings with the villainous sect. It's not impossible that they might conspire to count him out.

Schenxiang didn't follow the path, but instead moved cautiously nearby while keeping Dragon Xueyi aware of the surroundings.

After a little more than half an hour, Dragon Xueyi suddenly whispered, "I've sensed a presence. Although this person suppresses it constantly, I can still perceive him and he's much stronger than you."

Schenxiang was startled and asked, "What level of strength Where is he"

"He should be around True Martial Realm Five Stage, his strength mainly lies in the pure Qi. It's a force that is extremely yang and strong, also帶著 intense malevolence," said Dragon Xueyi. "This person is hiding underground and should be proficient in assassinations."

True Martial Realm Five Stage, attacking Schenxiang would indeed be very dangerous.

"It's likely the True Yang Sect's True Yang Qi. The True Yang Sect has a similar status to Taiwu Sect in the villainous sect, both being powerful sects. Although there have been many conflicts between our sect and the righteous sect, they rarely seize vein of minerals from the righteous sect. Is it possible that resources in Monster State are depleting" White幽幽 wondered.

Although Monster State is vast, there are several large villainous sects and many smaller factions. Although they follow the path of evil, their demand for resources is also high.

“Kill or not” Schenxiang asked Su Meiyao for her opinion.

"Don't kill, consume him!" White幽幽 gave a sinister smile, causing Schenxiang to tremble. Consuming him by devouring magic power, and even a True Martial Realm Five Stage cultivator.

"Your constitution is now very good, and your body can accommodate a large amount of true Qi without fear of the body exploding!" White幽幽 said.

Schenxiang nodded, he was currently at True Martial Realm Second Stage and his strength approached that of True Martial Realm Fourth Stage, not much different. He could use the devouring magic technique and here was an abandoned wilderness with no one else around, making him a perfect target for the devouring magic technique.

"Though the devouring magic technique is dark, don't waste it when you can use it!" said White幽幽.

Schenxiang nodded and carefully moved in the direction Dragon Xueyi pointed out, moving lightly on branches without making a sound.

The True Yang Sect disciple was hiding underground, depending on his hearing to detect anyone approaching. Schenxiang's presence wouldn't be detected by him while he was on a tree.

"It's below, he's lying there. Only covered by a thin layer of earth, you should be able to pierce him with your claws," said Dragon Xueyi.

Schenxiang released his spiritual senses and quickly discovered a person buried under the path. His true Qi was very thick, actively moving, and his force seemed eager to attack like a fierce beast readying for action.

Schenxiang's palm was surrounded by a layer of transparent true Qi, the Heaven and Earth Technique. He used this while also running the Taiji Dragon Dousing Force technique, fully reining in his aura and landing lightly on the ground, his fingers forming a sharp point, piercing the location where the person was lying.

Schenxiang targeted a part of true Qi that he judged to be thickest, which was the person's dantian. Even if it were soft earth or even rigid metal plate, those five Heaven and Earth Techniques would easily pierce through. Without very powerful spirit tools, the person would definitely be pierced by Schenxiang.

When Schenxiang's palm pierced the ground, it moved slightly. The person seemed to have sensed him but was too late. Schenxiang could feel his hand penetrating the earth and touching a hot object.

This was thick true Qi, Schenxiang immediately used the devouring magic technique and that violent forceful true Qi surged into his body through his arm's meridians. He absorbed it quickly, while the person sprang out from under the ground but had a palm of Schenxiang through his abdomen.

This was an ordinary middle-aged man, his face full of pain and fear. He could only feel the loss of true Qi in his dantian, while a force that numbed and paralysed his nerves surged into his body, rendering him motionless.

"You... You're Schenxiang!" the person squeezed out these words through gritted teeth.

Schenxiang didn't answer,專心ly suppressing the violent true Qi entering his body. The person quickly realized that Schenxiang had already noticed him hiding here.

"Why would you know!" the person struggled to ask, he couldn't understand how Schenxiang could deduce his hiding technique.

Schenxiang remained silent, frantically extracting the true Qi from this person. His body gradually withered but didn't die.

"I know about the Taiwu Sect's Senior Qing teaming up with you, I've gained your strength. I'll let you die in peace, I knew there would be people lurking here for me and thus used the trap," Schenxiang coldly smiled.

The person had a look of hatred on his face, but envy could be seen in his eyes. He was very envious of the technique that allowed him to absorb other people's true Qi, something highly coveted by villainous sects.

"Since you enjoy hiding underground, then stay hidden!" Schenxiang chuckled and used a palm strike to kill him, burning his body into ashes before covering the earth.

After devouring True Martial Realm Five Stage's true Qi, Schenxiang needed to find a place to digest as quickly as possible. Although there was plenty of true Qi, he could only obtain around three or four times the original amount after refining it due to its high impurity content. He needed to refine numerous times until the true Qi was very pure before integrating it into the five beast-like figures.

Three days passed, Schenxiang woke up. Originally, each beast-like figure only shone with 15 True Energy Grains, but now they all shone with 17. A total of ten more grains were added. Although the person's true Qi was thick, very little had actually been absorbed into his body.

After waking up, he continued toward the location of the vein. Half an hour later, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"It's Yu Lan's voice!" Schenxiang was delighted, quickening his pace.ho were already tracking him from afar. They aimed at him using well-trained techniques specifically designed for long-range attacks.These men were dressed in black, and one of them spoke:“Did we real...
