Chapter 456: Chapter 456: The Convergence of Three Individuals from the Spirit Sound Sect

Spiritual Power surged, and the temperature around them dropped.

At some point, Yu Zhibai had his folding fan Magic Artifact ready in his hand.

The Spiritual Power on the Magic Artifact was even stronger, and with each wave of the fan, a more vigorous burst of Ice Spiritual Power emerged!

And the direction in which the fan pointed was exactly four ice sculptures!

Of course, these ice sculptures were the four cultivators from the Haoran Sect at the Foundation Establishment Stage!

Not only were they unable to withstand a single strike from Yu Zhibai, but as he continuously amplified his Spiritual Power, they became even more thick and solid.

The cultivators around them were dumbstruck.

Yu Zhibai came from the Casting Gear Pavilion, naturally unrecognized by anyone. After arriving at the valley, he kept a low profile. Even when people glanced in his direction, their attention was drawn away by the conflict between Lu Chen and the Spirit Sound Sect. No one paid attention to him.

At this moment, his sudden display of power shocked everyone, and no one dared to move.

Fearing that their movements might lead to a misunderstanding with Yu Zhibai, and so invite disaster upon themselves!

Above him, amidst the canopy, Lu Chen’s brows were tightly furrowed together.

He was up in the trees, minimally affected by the Thousand-Mile Ice Seal.

However, Lu Chen also realized that the first time he clashed with Yu Zhibai, the latter hadn’t used his full strength!

In fact, he hadn’t even used a tenth of his power!

"This power is truly terrifying!"

Lu Chen held his breath, not out of fear of Yu Zhibai—for his own Spiritual Fire might very well surprise Yu Zhibai.

But the problem was that he, like Yu Zhibai, also possessed a Substitute Wooden Talisman, effectively granting him an extra life!

He couldn’t be sure whether Yu Zhibai had made preparations in advance by triggering the talisman.

He was already enemies with the Spirit Sound Sect, and the missing Qingyun Sect was seeking him out.

Falling out with Yu Zhibai at this point would be unwise!

"Better to wait and see," Lu Chen muttered to himself as he used the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique to closely watch Yu Zhibai’s movements, "He’s after the treasure. Since it belongs to the Spirit Sound Sect... perhaps... I should let Yu Zhibai and the Spirit Sound Sect have a go at each other first!"

With that thought, Lu Chen decided to continue observing.

The Spirit Sound Sect might locate him near the short mountain... perhaps...

They could also find Yu Zhibai here, right?

If so, the Spirit Sound Sect would be doing him a great favor!

For a moment, Lu Chen actually began to look forward to it!

And as he had predicted.

With the third female cultivator of the Spirit Sound Sect entering the cave, the other two at the Foundation Establishment Stage also arrived shortly after.

"Big Senior Sister seems to be inside; I can feel her aura!"

Both had approached from the same direction and met up naturally.

"Little Junior Sister and Fourth Senior Sister no longer have any aura; they might be dead... Who could it be that dares to lay hands on our Spirit Sound Sect!"

The two murmured something to each other with indifferent expressions.

There’s no use in harping on the dead, is there?

"Let’s go find our Big Senior Sister first. Maybe... someone’s targeting our Spirit Sound Sect. Now that only the three of us are left, it’s better to stick together!"

"There’s a rumor that this Haotian Secret Realm harbors a conspiracy. Do you think it could be the Haotian Sect acting in the shadows, trying to weaken our power?"

While whispering to each other, the pair continued into the cave.

The space inside the cave was relatively cramped, and they immediately sensed familiar auras.

"Big Senior Sister, are you inside?" one of the female cultivators called into the depths of the cave.

As her voice traveled, the Big Senior Sister, who intended to investigate, abruptly stopped in her tracks.

Her mind snapped back to focus, and a rush of alarm coursed through her!

"If I had killed disciples from a major sect, why would I hide inside a cave? When people arrive, wouldn’t it trap me like a turtle in a jar? He can’t be inside; he must have set up traps in there!"

Fine beads of sweat emerged on the Big Senior Sister’s smooth, white forehead.

Fortunately, her two Junior Sisters arrived and called out to her at that moment; otherwise, she might have ventured deeper into the cave and never made it back out!

Realizing this, she quickly leapt out of the cave and met up with her two Junior Sisters at the entrance.

And at the bottom of the cave, as Yu Qingqing and Mo Buwen felt the crisis recede, they let out a long sigh of relief...
