Chapter 289: Chaotic Battle on the Mountaintop (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Shen waited patiently at the side.
About an hour later, Miao You opened her eyes. Her originally pale face now had some color.
Although she was still far from fully recovering, at least she was no longer in a weak state that anyone could kill her.
Lin Shen wasn’t surprised. Even the sunlight jade couldn’t completely improve a severely injured cultivator master in a day.
He only needed Miao You to recover some strength so that she could bring him to find the thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit.
Miao You naturally understood this. After recovering a little, she turned around and led the way without another word.
She activated her spiritual essence and flew in the wind while Lin Shen was carried by the cloud dragon. They both moved fast and pa.s.sed through a few mountains in the blink of an eye.
On the way, Miao You’s expression was pensive. No one knew what she was thinking, but from time to time, she would glance at Lin Shen with a brooding expression.
Of course, Lin Shen noticed it. He just ignored her and couldn’t care less.
With his strength and soul contract, he didn’t have to worry about Miao You causing trouble.
Before long, he would be able to advance to a cultivator master, and he wouldn’t have to worry anymore.
The two of them were silent as they hurried along.
About two hours later, Miao You stopped at the mountainside with Lin Shen and pointed up.
“That thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit is hiding on the mountaintop. However, it’s abnormally cunning and will escape at the slightest movement. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to catch!”
“It’s fine,” Lin Shen said calmly. “You just have to lead me to its hiding place.”
Miao You pursed her lips. She wanted to say that it was easier said than done to capture a thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit with just the two of them.
However, she suddenly thought of Lin Shen’s six incomparably strange clones and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
No matter how cunning the thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit was, with seven to eight cultivators working together, they would definitely be able to catch it in half a month.
As for Lin Shen and the six clones, they would work seamlessly together. Capturing the thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit was really only a matter of time.
Lin Shen didn’t know what Miao You was thinking. Just as he was about to signal her to continue leading the way, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked in the direction of the mountaintop.
Miao You’s reaction was a little slower because she had yet to recover from her serious injuries. She also looked up at the top of the mountain and raised her thin eyebrows slightly.
“Someone is fighting at the top of the mountain. Judging from the commotion, there are probably more than five people!”
A thought immediately flashed through Miao You’s mind.
The thousand-year Mystic Essence Wood Spirit had been discovered!
Only such a treasure would cause many cultivators to fight for it!
Lin Shen’s expression didn’t change as he calmly rushed up the mountain.
“Let’s go and take a look.”
Miao You also reacted at this moment and hurriedly followed.
As they got closer and closer to the top of the mountain, the commotion of the battle became louder.
The sound of fast movements and explosions reverberated in the air.
When they arrived at the top of the mountain, Lin Shen and Miao You didn’t come out immediately. Instead, they found a hidden place and watched.
With one look, Lin Shen was surprised.
Just as he had thought, the battle on the mountaintop was indeed caused by the thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit.
Compared to the palm-sized Mystic Essence Wood Spirits that Lin Shen had seen before, this thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit was undoubtedly much more ma.s.sive.
If he stood upright, he would probably be about a meter tall.
He still looked like a human baby and was very adorable.
However, at this moment, this thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit was imprisoned in an iron cage.
The iron cage was golden and was made of unknown metal. The fence was only two fingers wide, and the hook at the top was hanging on a branch. No matter how the thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit struggled, apart from making the iron cage sway, he couldn’t escape.
“That’s an isolation golden cage. It has the ability to isolate essence and is extremely hard. As long as it’s trapped in this cage, the thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit won’t be able to burrow underground no matter what!”
Hearing Miao You’s voice, Lin Shen nodded and continued to look elsewhere.
The thousand-year Mystic Essence Wood Spirit wasn’t the reason for his surprise. What really surprised him was the people fighting for the thousand-year Mystic Essence Wood Spirit.
At this moment, there were more than 20 people fighting on the mountaintop!
Many of them were familiar faces!
The disciples of Corpse Sect, Flying Cloud Sect, and Blood Sea Sect!
Yin Xianbin, Guan Zhou, and Yi Sufeng were there as well.
Almost all the experts that Luo Wei had mentioned to him were gathered here.
In addition, there were more than ten other cultivators.
Luo Wei and the two young men beside him were among them!
“Everyone’s here.”
Lin Shen muttered to himself.
As expected of a thousand-year-old Mystic Essence Wood Spirit. It was attractive enough to gather almost all the experts in the Xuandu Meeting.
Yi Sufeng again’s right arm, which had been severed by Lin Shen’s sword, had already grown back. At this moment, she was waving a long strand of red silk and fighting two cultivators alone.
On the other side, the three disciples of the Corpse Sect and the three from the Flying Cloud Sect were engaged in an intense battle.
The three from the Corpse Sect didn’t attack their own. They just stood at the side and controlled the six burly and tail puppets with bronze skin to attack their opponents.
Those were the infamous Corpse Puppets of the Corpse Sect!
From the looks of it, those should be the Copper Corpse of the Corpse Sect! Lin Shen thought to himself.
Depending on the cultivation level of the corpse when it was alive and the level of the refinement technique, the Corpse Puppets refined by the Corpse Sect were also divided into different levels.
The weakest was called a servant corpse and was only at the Qi Transformation Stage.
Above them was the Iron Corpse. It was extremely strong and invulnerable.
The weakest of them was at Level 1 of the Long Breath Stage..
