Chapter 90 The Cicada Awaits

core zone.

Since the area opened on the fourth day, Zhang Lingyu has been flying quickly toward the region where the Purple Phoenix Fruit grows. Along the way, he could hear the sounds of other cultivators fighting from time to time, but he didn't pay much attention to them.

Many cultivators want to compete for the Cloud Dream Glazed Fruit, and two forces are eyeing the spirit tree covetously, so the outcome will not be decided easily.

It's not too late to go after we get the Purple Phoenix Fruit.

Zhang Lingyu dared not be careless along the way, and released all the small puppets to scout out enemy positions for him.

The Purple Phoenix Fruit is, after all, the main spiritual ingredient for making the Longevity Pill, and it's marked on the map, so there must be quite a few cultivators vying for it.

However, according to the notes, the Purple Phoenix Fruit is likely guarded by a group of second-tier peak demonic beasts, the Crimson Tigers, so it won't be easy to make a move.

Zhang Lingyu flew for nearly an hour before gradually approaching the area where the spirit creatures grew, and the roars of demonic beasts began to appear one after another ahead.

"Someone arrived so quickly, that's fast."

His expression was somewhat unpleasant. His speed was much faster than that of ordinary Qi Refining Peak cultivators, and now that someone had arrived first, it seemed that they had been waiting at the edge of the core area for some time.

Their ideas and plans are probably quite similar to his.

As they drew closer, the sounds of fighting grew clearer. Zhang Lingyu probed with her divine sense and saw three cultivators attacking the five blood-red tigers in front of them with great effort.

Judging from their imposing presence, they were all at the peak of the second tier.

Behind the Crimson Tiger is a vine with fruits the size of pigeon eggs on it. The skin is dark purple and has natural phoenix feather patterns.

Purple Phoenix Fruit!

"Okay, it is indeed there. At least it wasn't a wasted trip."

Zhang Lingyu's face lit up with joy, but he did not act immediately. Instead, he looked for a suitable opportunity.

As a peak second-tier demon beast, the Crimson Tiger is no less powerful than an ordinary peak Qi Refining cultivator. In addition, the secret realm is rich in spiritual objects, and the demon beast has eaten a lot of them, making it much larger than the Crimson Tigers outside.

The five demonic beasts, with their massive size and incredible speed, made life extremely difficult for the three cultivators.

"Senior brothers, we can no longer hold back."

One of them was being attacked by two blood-red tigers. His injuries kept increasing, and his protective spiritual shield was also being damaged and lost its spiritual light. He would soon die in the tigers' mouth.

All three of them were cultivators from the Chenxin Pavilion. Since the Golden Core Ancestor of the sect was nearing the end of his lifespan, and had been frantically searching for longevity pills and spiritual items in recent years, the sect sent them here when the Jade Spirit Valley Secret Realm opened.

All three were among the best in their sect, and they did not encounter any danger after entering the secret realm.

They were naturally interested in those few Cloud Dream Glazed Fruits, but with the Golden Core Ancestor's orders in place, they had no choice but to go and find the Purple Phoenix Fruit first.

Upon entering the area, the three immediately discovered their target. Although they were overjoyed, the presence of the Crimson Tigers guarding them created a stalemate, as there were only three of them against five of their opponents.

"Golden Blade Technique!"

One of them, wielding a long sword, slashed down one of the blood-red tigers and shouted, "Senior Brother!"

"I know!"

Chen Xuanyun, whom the two called senior brother, knew that he could not delay any longer. The commotion was getting bigger and bigger, and it was hard to guarantee that other cultivators would come looking for him.

Not only will they fail to complete their sect's mission, but they might also lose their lives here.

He could only reluctantly take out a mid-grade third-tier talisman, which his sect had given him before he left, in case something unexpected happened while picking the Purple Phoenix Fruit.

But this is, after all, a talisman capable of severely injuring someone in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

Chen Xuanyun became greedy as soon as he got his hands on it. He originally wanted to use the talisman to compete for the Yunmeng Glazed Fruit, but now it seems that this idea is completely impossible.

"Senior brother, hurry up!"

Seeing that his two junior brothers were about to be devoured by the demon beast, he gritted his teeth and shouted:

"Junior brothers, step back immediately!"

The other two were overjoyed, knowing that the other side was finally going to use the methods given to them by their sect. They quickly retreated, and as soon as they reached a safe distance, the five blood-red tigers in front of them were instantly blasted to ashes by the talisman.

"Thank you so much for your help, Senior Brother!"

The two quickly bowed, but Chen Xuanyun's expression remained grim. He instructed, "Junior brothers, quickly pick the Purple Phoenix Fruit and then leave this place."

"Yes."

The three of them had no time to recover from their magical injuries and were ready to pick the spiritual fruit and leave.

Before they could even get close, a spider silk flew from the shadows, instantly plucked the Purple Phoenix Fruit, and then disappeared into the jungle.

"You wicked thief!"

Chen Xuanyun nearly coughed up blood as he watched the fruits of victory being taken away; he was both shocked and furious.

What was astonishing was that someone was watching them being besieged by the Crimson Tiger at such close range without him noticing at all, which showed that the other party was no ordinary person.

"What should we do? Chase after them?"

The other two looked at each other, stunned and unsure of what to do.

"Aren't you going to chase them or just wait to go back and die?" Chen Xuanyun's vision went black, and he kicked each of them. He really didn't know why the sect had sent such two cowards to come along this time.

Seeing that the sect's patriarch was acting like a mad dog in his quest to prolong his life, he was just short of resorting to demonic techniques to do so!

If they fail to retrieve the spiritual fruit, the three of them will certainly be executed.

"Want to leave? Not so easy!"

Chen Xuanyun sneered, and a jade mirror flew out from his sleeve. It paused slightly in mid-air before flying rapidly in the direction Zhang Lingyu had fled.

In order to seize the Purple Phoenix Fruit, Chenxin Pavilion had not been unaware of the possibility of the spiritual fruit being stolen. This mirror, named the Mother-Child Reflection Mirror, is a low-grade Foundation Establishment magic weapon. Once it records the aura of an enemy, it can be used to track them within a ten-mile radius.

Although Foundation Establishment cultivators are not allowed to enter the secret realm, it doesn't say that they can't bring Foundation Establishment magic artifacts in.

Although the human aura wasn't recorded just now, the aura of the spider silk was recorded by the Mother-Child Reflection Mirror.

Chen Xuanyun could conclude that the demonic beast that spat out spider silk must be the thief's spirit pet.

What just flew out was the secondary mirror; he still has the primary mirror in his sleeve.

"Found you! Let's see where you can run now!"

As the three flew away, they examined the images in the Mother Mirror. They saw a middle-aged man in black moving rapidly toward the core area.

According to the connection between the mother and child mirrors, the distance between them is at least three miles, but this distance is constantly increasing.

As the image in the mirror gradually blurred, Chen Xuanyun roared:

"You two, go faster!"

After saying that, he suddenly sped up again. The other two looked bitter but dared not disobey his order.

After all, the other party is the leader of this operation. If they really fail to retrieve the items, they will definitely shift the blame onto them when they return.

Then you'll be left with no way to defend yourself.

Without hesitation, the two used some kind of secret technique to quickly follow after them.
