"Could there be other treasures in that storage ring?"
The martial artists grew increasingly suspicious of Shi Potian.
"This is the storage ring I just acquired; you can look at the images and markings on the ring, or use Divine Sense to explore inside—it contains only this map! I reckon you all have your doubts, thinking I might be quite familiar with this place. Let clarify: it's because I heard about it before! Why? Because my Master is an Immortal from the Immortal Domain! So, I have so insight. The landscape painting inside that cave ahead is called Transverse Mountains and Waters; as for its use, I won't reveal it now. What I want to say is, henceforth we must unite and cooperate! Only through unity can we find the Transverse Mountains and Waters within!"
Shi Potian spoke earnestly.
Duan Gujin listened to Shi Potian's words and raised an eyebrow, impressed by Shi Potian's quick thinking, having already sensed the martial artists surrounding were mostly dissatisfied with Shi Potian.
He guessed that Shi Potian could easily appease those wanting to report him with this speech.
Indeed, just as he assud, those wishing to report Shi Potian appeared troubled, unsure whether they should report him or not.
"Everyone, let's go eliminate those five resentful spirits ahead; only by eliminating them can we open the underground passage!"
Shi Potian voiced his resolve.
The other martial artists pondered for a mont before agreeing.
They were uncertain, wondering if Shi Potian might deceive them.
Shi Potian led them forward, and they soon saw five stone pillars in front.
"These five stone pillars ahead are the five resentful spirits; we need to eliminate them! Spread out and attack them all at once; we'll ambush them! Just destroy those pillars! Be very cautious, these pillars aren't ordinary stone; they harbor resentful spirits! The best way to deal with them is by fire! Once you approach, I'll send a signal; when you hear the flare explode, strike imdiately!"
Duan Gujin spoke earnestly.
"Got it!"
The martial artists ford five small groups, each selecting a leader before stealthily approaching the pillars.
Earlier, Shi Potian instructed them to use fire to deal with the resentful spirits on the pillars, so they prepared for a fire attack.
Soon, they heard the flare explode and simultaneously fired fireballs at the pillars.
The sound of explosions rang incessantly.
Within five breaths, they saw the pillars ablaze.
Seeing the fire on the pillars, they furrowed their brows slightly.
"It seems the pillar isn't made of stone!"
As they were puzzled, suddenly, countless bright lights flashed across the pillars.
The next mont, they saw the pillars transform into a resentful spirit.
"It's a resentful spirit!"
Upon realization, they acknowledged how accurate Shi Potian's words were.
Despite being close to the pillars previously, they couldn't use Divine Sense to inspect them, unable to judge what was inside.
Now, they saw clearly that the pillars weren't real—inside them lay a resentful spirit.
Though the spirit was ablaze, it roared repeatedly.
In an instant, soil from around the spirit rose and enveloped it.
Once the soil covered the spirit, the burning flas extinguished.
"So that's how it is!"
Seeing this, the martial artists imdiately understood why the spirit turned into stone pillars; it encased itself in soil from the ground.
"Eliminate the spirits quickly and fiercely!"
Observing the others, Duan Gujin was anxious, knowing the spirits hadn't fully awakened yet; their combat power was weakest now.
If they reacted, they'd beco formidable and hard to deal with.
Thus, to defeat the spirits, the best approach was to strike while they were weakened.
Striking now was the best decision!
Duan Gujin took a deep breath, released Soul Fire, and charged at the spirits.
"Everyone must seize the mont to eliminate these spirits, don't give them ti to recover, or it'll be troubleso!"
Shi Potian shouted loudly.
The others promptly responded, channeling their Primordial Power, then struck the spirits with their strongest fire magic.
Indeed, powerful resentful spirit energy erupted from the spirits the next mont.
Though the spirits were ablaze, they weren't vanquished; a chilling Evil Qi erged, dropping the surrounding temperature by several degrees.
With the appearance of the bone-chilling Evil Qi, the flas attacking the spirits quickly snuffed out.
Seeing the flas extinguish, the martial artists gasped, their hearts racing.
They previously suspected it was Shi Potian's plot, intending to drain their Primordial Power and eventually eliminate them.
Now, witnessing the spirits release Evil Qi and snuff their fire magic instantly, they realized they'd completely underestimated the spirits' prowess.
"Roar roar roar!"
At the next mont, the spirits' bodies expanded, unleashing powerful Killing Aura, chilling their Divine Souls.
"Such a strong Killing Aura!"
Many martial artists discerned from the aura that these spirits must've fought nurous battles in life; otherwise, their Killing Aura wouldn't be so strong.
The most fearso aspect was the spirits' Evil Qi blocking their fire magic.
Seeing the spirits transform, Duan Gujin realized they'd completely underestimated their strength.
"Big trouble! They're Cremated Resentful Spirits!"
Upon recognizing the spirits' forms, Shi Potian realized his misjudgnt.
"Everyone, use ice attribute magic against the spirits; they're unafraid of fire—Cremated Resentful Spirits! They're Cremated Resentful Spirits!"
Shi Potian shouted loudly.
Upon hearing Shi Potian, the martial artists realized his earlier mistake.
"So they're Cremated Resentful Spirits, no wonder!"
The martial artists had heard of Cremated Resentful Spirits before, knowing they don't fear fire.
Casting fire magic on these fire-immune spirits couldn't possibly defeat them!
They secretly cursed Shi Potian, suspecting he was deceiving them.
Yet, they weren't concerned with Shi Potian now, rely wanting to swiftly defeat the Cremated Resentful Spirits.
"Once we've handled these Cremated Resentful Spirits, we'll devise ways to deal with him!"
Many martial artists' eyes flickered, knowing their priorities.
Countless ice magic erupted from the martial artists, assaulting the Cremated Resentful Spirits.
The spirits' massive bodies moved briefly before encountering various ice magic.
The ice spells encased them but were soon neutralized by emitted flas.
Seeing the spirits release fire confird they were truly fire-immune Cremated Resentful Spirits.
