Zhuge Yi’s face was grim, standing motionless in the cave.
"Elder Zhuge, save ."
Those two disciples who were still breathing begged Zhuge Yi.
Both were critically wounded, and if they didn’t leave, their lives would certainly be lost. Among those who went to Xingxiu Cave this ti were top disciples from the Heavenly Armor Sect, including a direct disciple of the Sect Master from the sect.
However, sending them out for treatnt ant that Zhuge Yi would also have to leave Xingxiu Cave.
With a dark expression on his face, Zhuge Yi walked over to the two disciples.
"Fine." Zhuge Yi readily agreed, but just at this mont, he suddenly struck the top of their skulls with a palm.
Before the two could even scream in agony, their heads tilted, and they were dead.
After killing them, Zhuge Yi’s face revealed a ferocious smile.
This ti, he ca for the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir, originally intending to seize it and gain great rit, but now the disciples of the Heavenly Armor Sect had suffered heavy casualties due to his negligence.
If he were to leave at this mont, it would an his total ruin.
Instead of that, he might as well take a risk for the chance of wealth and glory.
Once he got his hands on that Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir, he would not return to the Heavenly Armor Sect.
His granddaughter, Hong Mingyue, would certainly obtain another Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir.
Once Hong Qingyun ascended, he would beco the foremost figure in Daxia.
Based on his relationship with the Hong Residence, Zhuge Yi decided to simply betray the Heavenly Armor Sect and take the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir to seek refuge with the Hong Residence.
After making up his mind, Zhuge Yi quickly searched the bodies of those disciples for any Elixir Pills and then hurriedly headed deep into the North Fork.
"Zhuge Yi really is ruthless. He even killed his fellow sect disciples directly."
After Zhuge Yi left, Ye Lingyue and others ca out.
Seeing the corpses on the ground, both Lan Cai’er and Sword Slave frowned.
If they hadn’t followed Ye Lingyue’s earlier instructions and encountered the Sword Array directly, it would likely have been them suffering heavy casualties.
Having entered the cave for more than half an hour, the power of the Invisibility Elixir they consud had already dissipated.
But with Zhuge Yi acting as a human shield, they had avoided most of the chanisms and Hidden Weapons on the earlier part of the path, and the Sword Array had already been destroyed.
There likely wouldn’t be any more Hidden Weapons or Arrays in the remaining part of the passage, making the Invisibility Elixir less significant.
Looking at the bodies on the ground, Ye Lingyue walked to one of them, took out an Elixir Pill, fed it to the person, and then placed her right palm on his back to slowly transfer Cauldron Breath into his body.
"Ling Yue, why bother saving soone from the Heavenly Armor Sect?"
Lan Cai’er was puzzled.
"Zhuge Yi did us a big favor along the way. It’s only proper to reciprocate the gesture," Ye Lingyue smiled.
Although Zhuge Yi’s palm strike was fierce, in front of Ye Lingyue, she still had ways to revive the person.
Not long after, the disciple from the Heavenly Armor Sect woke up.
"You, what do you want to do?" The person woke up, saw Ye Lingyue and others, and showed a face full of fear.
"Big brother, don’t be afraid, I saved your life, and if I wanted to harm you, I wouldn’t have gone through all that effort. If I rember correctly, you are the direct disciple of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Armor Sect, right?" Ye Lingyue smiled, showing a set of gleaming white teeth.
She had already had soone investigate Zhuge Yi and his followers.
"No, no, thank you, miss, for saving my life." The disciple of the Heavenly Armor Sect was terrified by Ye Lingyue’s gaze.
"Why did Zhuge Yi choose only Cave No.4?" Ye Lingyue’s beautiful face smiled like a blooming flower.
The disciple was dazzled by her and hesitated, thinking that this was a secret of the sect.
But after reconsidering that Zhuge Yi had tried to kill him and he was now severely injured with no chance of competing for the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir anymore, he couldn’t let that old geezer benefit.
"In Cave No.4, there are Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixirs. That old geezer Zhuge Yi got wind of it from sowhere, knowing there were two of these elixirs here. His granddaughter, Hong Mingyue, was going to snatch one of them, and at the end of this fork, there’s another Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir."
It turned out to be the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir, Ye Lingyue had naturally heard of it before.
If Hong Mingyue acquired the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir, it would definitely go to Hong Qingyun.
That old man, if he got the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir, would surpass the Military Marquis Gu Cangtian in strength. At that ti, the entire Daxia would probably be under the control of the Hong Residence.
Ye Lingyue thought of this and her expression slightly soured.
She slowly stood up, speaking in a grave voice.
"If I were you, big brother, I would properly heal in the cave and after thirty days, leave the cave and take back the news of Zhuge Yi colluding with Hong Residence and betraying the Heavenly Armor Sect to the sect." Saying so, Ye Lingyue waved her hand, and several elixir pills fell beside the disciple.
She wanted to eradicate the Hong Residence, thus they had to face enemies on both fronts.
The Hong Residence and Hong Fang could establish themselves in Daxia for so long for only three reasons: Hong Qingyun’s strength in Reincarnation Five Paths, the Three-Life Valley, and lastly, the Heavenly Armor Sect.
Though the Heavenly Armor Sect was just a second or third-tier sect, it was still a sect.
Before Hong Mingyue truly grew into a mainstay of the Three-Life Valley, the Heavenly Armor Sect was like the left and right arms of the Hong Residence.
Initially, Marquis Hong abandoned her and her mother because of the Heavenly Armor Sect, so today, she would let the Hong Residence taste what it’s like to be hunted by the Heavenly Armor Sect.
The disciple was stunned, but he quickly understood Ye Lingyue’s intention, grabbed the elixir pills, thanked Ye Lingyue, and with his severely injured body, he moved towards a safer direction.
"We need to hurry, let’s catch up too. By now, Zhuge Yi is probably close to finding the Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Elixir."
In the southern fork, the Daxia Delegation was doing much better than Zhuge Yi.
Even though they didn’t have the Sky Armor Rat, Xiahou Qi’s alchemy beast was displaying great divine powers, only slightly thrown into disarray when they encountered the Sword Array.
Fortunately, with the impressive skills of Hong Mingyue, Luo Song, Chou Alchemist, Xiahou Qi, and others, they finally managed to destroy the Array Eye of the Sword Array.
Everyone only suffered so minor injuries.
"Xingxiu Cave really lives up to its reputation, who knows what we’ll encounter next." Feng Xue also got injured during the Sword Array and looked rather pale.
Xiahou Qi remained silent, his thoughts drifting to the North Fork, wondering how Ling Yue was doing.
The mbers of the Hong Family, especially Hong Yuying, secretly thought to themselves.
That wretched girl might have already died at the hands of her grandfather.
Everyone had their own thoughts, and in a flash, they reached the end of the south fork.
Ahead, the cave had disappeared, revealing a room that looked like an Alchemy Room.
Seeing the room, despite being exhausted from the intense battle, everyone felt a surge of spirit.
