The Mortal's Path to Immortality

"What a powerful spirit beast, you... are you also a disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect?"

"Oh no, the disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect have actually infiltrated the Qingling Xiuxian Market!" The scattered cultivators around were horrified when they thought of this. They were afraid of being implicated in the sect war, and they ran into their rented cultivation caves at a high speed.

Cao Rui ignored them at this time, and his eyes always stayed on the manager of the cultivation cave rental.

This manager's cultivation was not high, only in the initial stage of Qi Refining. It seemed that he should not be a disciple of the Yunshui Sect, but a member recruited from the scattered cultivators.

At this moment, he seemed a little dazed, obviously frightened by the war between the two sects and Cao Rui, who was guessed to be a disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect.

Seeing this, Cao Rui, who had already brought in the identity of the market owner, said softly: "Don't worry, everything will remain the same after the Spirit Beast Sect takes over this market."

The manager came to his senses a little after hearing this, and hurriedly thanked Cao Rui and quickly hid aside.

"We must hurry up and control the formation of the market."

Cao Rui had already visited the entire Qingling Xiuxian Market and knew the situation here very well.

He knew that there was only one forbidden area in the market, in the attic in the center, and there were cultivators guarding it.

Cao Rui had previously discovered that any casual cultivator would be stopped and left once he approached the attic.

So, Cao Rui concluded that it was the base of the Yunshui Sect, and it was also the place where the defense formation of the Qingling Xiuxian Market was controlled.

"The second-level spirit beast is equivalent to the initial stage of foundation building."

"Now that all the disciples of the Yunshui Sect are out, with the help of Heiyu, we should be able to take down the base."

It must be said that the timing of Heiyu's promotion was really great.

Cao Rui jumped onto Hei Yu's back and patted him on the head: "Be careful. If you encounter a Foundation Establishment cultivator, flee quickly."

Cao Rui was still confident in Hei Yu's speed.

Hei Yu could travel long distances with a constant speed, and it was difficult for cultivators of the same level to exceed his speed with an instant burst.

Hei Yu nodded, then spread his wings and flew towards the attic. His speed was extremely fast, like a black lightning across the sky.

The Man race has spiritual consciousness, while the demon race has demon consciousness.

As a second-level demon beast, Hei Yu's demon consciousness range far exceeded Cao Rui's.

When Hei Yu flew over the attic, he used his demon consciousness to scan it slightly and immediately understood the situation inside the attic.

Through the contract telepathy between him and Cao Rui, Hei Yu informed Cao Rui of the news: all the cultivators below were in the Qi Refining stage, and there were not many of them.

Cao Rui stood on a high place and looked down, and indeed found that most of the cultivators who had been patrolling around the attic had disappeared.

This immediately dispelled most of his worries.

After confirming that it was safe, Cao Rui immediately drove Hei Yu to land on the attic.

Hei Yu folded his wings and landed steadily on the roof of the attic.

The formation control point was inside the attic, but with Hei Yu's huge body, there was no way to enter the attic directly.

Although Cao Rui could go in, he would undoubtedly put himself in an extremely dangerous situation if he went deep into it alone.

With Cao Rui's cautious character, he would naturally not make such an impulsive move.

After careful consideration, Cao Rui decisively issued an order: "Hei Yu, directly demolish this attic!"

After hearing the master's order, Hei Yu made a crisp cry and flapped its huge wings at the same time, and suddenly a black wind flow violently fanned out from under its wings.

This is Hei Yu's unique demon skill, and its power is comparable to that of a second-level spell.

There was a loud rumbling sound, and the attic became fragile in an instant under the fierce attack of the black wind, collapsing like a sand model.

Several unprepared Yunshui Sect monks were hit by the sudden wind and died on the spot.

"Swish, swish, swish!" There was a sound of breaking through the air, and several surviving figures flew out of the ruins and flew rapidly towards the distance, obviously trying to escape from here.

The magic weapons these monks used were all Yunshui Sect's signature magic weapons - Yunshui fans.

This fan is a standard 0-level magic weapon of Yunshui Sect, which has both offensive and defensive capabilities and extraordinary power.

In this way, it is convenient for Cao Rui to confirm the identities of these Yunshui Sect disciples.

At this moment, the sect beast ancestor of his own Lingshou Sect has been dispatched, and the two sides are already in a state of war. Cao Rui will naturally not be afraid of the situation escalating.

And Cao Rui is not a soft-hearted person!

"Hei Yu, kill them all." Cao Rui's face was cold. With a command, Hei Yu spread his wings and flew high, quickly catching up with the Yunshui Sect disciples who were trying to escape, and killed them one by one.

Hei Yu was promoted to a second-level monster. Its speed and body were extremely powerful. Its sharp claws were estimated to have the strength of a first-level magic weapon.

It passed by quickly like a black lightning, and every attack was fatal.

These Yunshui Sect disciples who were only concerned with escaping could not resist Hei Yu's attack at all.

They didn't even have time to react before their bodies were torn apart by Hei Yu's extremely fast claws.

Hei Yu's beak was as sharp and hard as a magic sword, and it made a crisp sound when pecking at the Yunshui Sect disciples' Yunshui fans.

The shock force transmitted to the Yunshui Sect disciples by the magic weapon alone could seriously injure them, and adding a claw attack could kill a Yunshui Sect disciple.

Black Feather's attack was as swift as a storm, dazzling him.

The powerful strength of the second-level monster was revealed.

Its speed and strength made the disciples of Yunshui Sect who were trying to escape feel desperate.

Although they also tried to resist, all efforts seemed futile under the fierce attack of Hei Yu.

In the end, all the disciples of the late Qi training of Yunshui Sect fell in a pool of blood, and none survived.

Cao Rui was very confident in Hei Yu. After giving the order to Hei Yu, he wandered in the ruins, searching with his magic power. In this way, Cao Rui quickly found the control point of the formation in the attic.

This is a circular control console wrapped in a faint spiritual power, located in the middle of the first floor of the destroyed attic.

This console is about one meter in diameter and is engraved with complex formations.

Large formations are all controlled and activated by formation plates, and the formation plates are divided into large formation plates and small formation plates.

The large formation plates are scattered in the key positions of the formations covered by the formations to be arranged, and are the main body of the formations.

The small formation plate is a "controller" used by the formation setter to control the large formation plate. As long as the small formation plate is mastered, the entire formation can be easily controlled.

Cao Rui flew to the control console, where the small array of Qingling Xiuxian Market's defensive array was placed.

The Yunshui Sect was thrown into disarray by the sneak attack led by Xu Ye of the Lingshou Sect. They were distracted and their elite troops were all out, leaving only a group of late-stage Qi Refining cultivators to control the small array.

Unexpectedly, Cao Rui, who had hidden his identity early and entered the market, found an opportunity.

These late-stage Qi Refining cultivators were found by Cao Rui and Hei Yu before they had time to try the power of the array, and were killed one by one.
