Chapter 714: Chapter 714: The Bizarre Figure, It’s Also a Xuanming Ice Snake!

"First, let’s see if there are any survivors,"

Even though Xuan Hong’s Spiritual Sense was moving slowly, it wasn’t intentional.

The space at the bottom of the mining cave was simply too vast.

Besides, countless miners had died within it.

Finding someone didn’t require wasting too much energy.

Even though all were cultivators, it was easy to distinguish the Path-protecting Clothes of the miners from those of the Core Formation stewards.

A full hour passed.

He found five Core Formation cultivators but was missing Pan Yunsheng.

"Strange, Pan Yunsheng was mainly in charge here. Why is he not out here? Could it be that he has escaped?"

He frowned, thinking about how, according to Ji Changchun’s words, Pan Yunsheng was killed together with Chu Zhongtian.

But this small detail was now inconsistent, which made Xuan Hong start to doubt Ji Changchun.

"Ji Changchun has always been scheming. Could it be that he intends to use me to kill Chu Zhongtian?"

The thought had only just crossed his mind when he laughed at himself mockingly; the Spirit Vein was destroyed, and all he could do now was to confront Chu Zhongtian with questions.

Regardless of whether Ji Changchun was plotting, Chu Zhongtian was...

Destined to die!

He put away his smile, no longer caring whether there were any survivors, and continued to send his Spiritual Sense deeper.

After a moment, his Spiritual Sense detected a whiff of Ice Spiritual Power.

"Why would there be Ice Spiritual Power?"

He was influenced by Ji Changchun and did not know of Lu Chen’s presence. Aside from seeking Chu Zhongtian, he was also looking for the Xuanming Ice Snake.

However, by rights, the Xuanming Ice Snake should emit Ice Demon Power.

"Never mind that for now. I’ll follow this Spiritual Power to its source!"

Xuan Hong searched for a while and finally pinpointed the direction from which the Ice Spiritual Power was emanating. His Spiritual Sense continued to flow, eventually finding the coiling Xuanming Ice Snake!

The Xuanming Ice Snake also sensed the Nascent Soul tier Spiritual Sense and abruptly raised its head.

The surrounding rubble flowed with its movement, making a crunching sound.

But other than that, there was nothing it could do!

"Hmph, it seems Ji Changchun was right. Chu Zhongtian has actually tamed a demon beast!"

Seeing Chu Zhongtian nestled at the very center of the Xuanming Ice Snake’s protection, Xuan Hong was immediately consumed by anger. They were from Xuanyun Sect, Sword Cultivators, not a sect that specialized in beast taming!

He overlooked the difference between Spiritual Power and demonic power, locked his Qi on the Xuanming Ice Snake, and then suddenly snapped back to reality, summoning his Shadowless Sword!

The Shadowless Sword Technique that Xuan Hong practiced was naturally different from that of ordinary disciples.

Without even uttering the incantation, the Shadowless Sword in his hand, as thin as a cow’s hair, surprisingly transformed into a giant sword!

"Heaven-descended Divine Weapon!"

He brought his two fingers together, forming the Sword technique, and the Shadowless Sword soared into the sky, then with its point facing downwards, it plunged straight into the Spirit Vein!

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar echoed as the Shadowless Giant Sword, like a fierce beast drilling into the earth, spun wildly. Numerous fragments of Spirit Stones and chaff from the mine were spun out, the force of which was shockingly impressive, alerting the strange, lurking figure watching from a distance.

It was they who had been hiding behind Xuan Hong, and since Xuan Hong’s Spiritual Sense had been focused on the underground of the Spirit Vein, he hadn’t noticed he was being tracked.

"Is he... have he found Chu Zhongtian? To use the Heaven-descended Divine Weapon, Chu Zhongtian... with my current state where the Sword body is damaged, I reckon I can’t save you now..."

The figure sighed in such a manner, yet still slowly glided toward that side.

Indeed.

It was gliding.

If Chu Zhongtian were here, he would have realized that it was also a Xuanming Ice Snake!

However, this Xuanming Ice Snake was also mysteriously strange.

It had no demonic power, no Ice Power, appearing completely unremarkable!

But the snake was determined, without the slightest hesitation!
