"How could this be!" At this moment, Zhao Qifeng stood gloomily outside the heavy water demon cave, staring at the gloomy entrance with an inexplicable allure. The anger in Zhao Qifeng's eyes was almost overflowing.

"This kid is quite good at escaping." Xu Suqin had originally been arranging the blockade of Chongshui Mountain Range's passages. After receiving Zhao Qifeng's notice, she rushed over immediately, but was still a step late. Lu Xiaoteng had escaped into the Chongshui Yao Cave, and the two True Immortals had been repeatedly evaded by a Golden Core cultivator several times. If this got out, it would be a huge joke.

“He has to be brought to justice, no matter where he hides. The more he escapes, the worse it will be for him later on.” Zhao Qifeng’s eyes flashed with killing intent. Originally, he planned to recruit Lu Xiaitian after the mission was accomplished. But the constant struggle had worn away his patience, and after success, killing the other party would be a just retribution.

“If Senior Zhao is willing to hand over this fellow's belongings to us, we are willing to assist Senior Zhao in entering the Heavy Water Demon Cave to capture him.” Behind Zhao Qifeng and Xu Suqin stood nine cultivators from Tianfeng Valley, including Yuan Yi. Originally, Yuan Yi had no intention of making things difficult for Lu Xiaoteng, after all, the opponent was not weak, and he had Lin Fang and Ban Hui Lama master and disciple to help him. Even with their nine people joining forces, they might not be able to defeat him."

However, during their search for the Yanling page, they unexpectedly encountered Zhao Qifeng. Learning that Zhao Qifeng was also looking for Lu Xiaoteng, Dou Yuan changed his mind. Their group couldn't handle Lu Xiaoteng, but with Zhao Qifeng, a true immortal, taking action, it would be easy to capture him.

Before being forcibly taken away by Lu Xiaitian, the Sumeru ring of the Yanlong had always been on Du Yuan's mind. If he could get it back, Du Yuan would feel that his journey was worthwhile.

“Fine, I don't care much about trifles. As long as you can find that boy and hand over all the treasures he obtained from Yanlong, it’s done.” Zhao Qifeng didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement. Although he didn't think highly of the nine people's strength, nine extra people could still accomplish a lot. Both Zhao Qifeng and Xu Suqin wanted to find the Yumoqishi as soon as possible and had no time to waste on such trivial matters.

A group of people entered the heavy water demon cave one after another.

With a deafening roar! A massive black-horned bear crashed to the ground. Lu Xiaoteng stood atop its head at this moment. This was already his seventh black-horned bear slain. These black-horned bears were not weak in strength, often traveling in groups of three or five. Their defenses were unusually strong, blending seamlessly with the heavy water demon cave. They appeared and disappeared like ghosts, making Lu Xiaoteng's encounters with them quite troublesome. They possessed a strong desire for revenge, once angered, facing almost certain death.

A scream echoed from afar. Lu Xiaotian’s eyes narrowed. Besides him, Qingying naturally followed him into the Zhishui Yao Cave.

This azure phantom is similar to a doppelganger. Without eliminating it, it's feared that Lu Xiaoteng would never be able to escape Zhao Qifeng's grasp. However, Lu Xiaoteng ultimately had some concerns. Although the Heavy Water Demon Cave was large, there were only two exits. He couldn't enter this place under the current circumstances. Not to mention whether he could defeat Zhao Qifeng's azure phantom, if the opponent were truly killed, and then bad luck struck with Zhao Qifeng catching up, given Zhao Qifeng's disposition, he wouldn't be a magnanimous person, and there would inevitably be other means of retaliation.

Zhao Qifeng didn't intend to kill him directly. Instead, he took him to refine alchemy pills. As for what would happen after the refining, it was hard to say. It was unwise to offend him now.

Lu Xia Tian's eyes flashed, and an idea came to him. His figure swiftly moved within the deep and complex Water Demon Cave, where terrain was treacherous and advantageous.

Several Black Horned Demon Bears emerged from a pool of heavy water. Lu Xiaotian sensed their presence just in time. These Black Horned Giant Bears were elusive and could vanish if they lay in wait for their prey, blending seamlessly with the heavy water. Even Lu Xiaotian would find it difficult to detect them. If they didn't merge with the water, their aura remained hidden within this Heavy Water Demon Cave, but ultimately couldn't escape Lu Xiaotian's powerful divine sense, which was stronger than most True Immortals.

Taking this opportunity to detour, the blue shadow behind him remained unpredictable, relentlessly pursuing him. After escaping for a while, Lu Xia Tian only heard roars of anger behind him. At that moment, he chuckled inwardly, four or five black-horned giant bears were enough to give that blue shadow a good drink.

With the five or six black-horned giant bears holding back Zhao Qifeng's Qingying, Lu Xiaoteng was able to escape smoothly. After spending half a month circling in the Heavy Water Demon Cave, no one pursued him. Lu Xiaoteng finally let out a breath of relief.

"Huh?" Just as he was about to find a place to rest for a while, Lu Xia Tian faintly sensed a surge of cool and pure lightning power.

“Such pure power of thunder, it is not inferior to the Zhumu Zhenlei.” Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly became interested. The Five Thunder Soldiers' Art had already collected all the gold and fire elements, half of the earth element, and then he acquired the Zhumu Zhenlei.

If there were any more water systems like this true lightning, the cultivation of this method would be just around the corner. Even if Lu XiaTian wasn't in a hurry to achieve it immediately, collecting all the elements for the lotus avatar was also a good choice. Just wondering if the lotus avatar had made any gains at Lei Yin Xian Zong now.

Lu Xiaoxiao followed the path of thunderous power, arriving at a place where water mist swirled in the distance. It seemed like mirrors were rotating before him, obstructing his view with reflections. Through those mirrored walls, he could only see rising steam and flickering thunderous energy. He couldn't see anything beyond that. The air inside was constantly shifting, changing erratically.

"It's actually a naturally formed Xuan Shui Ji Lei Dong Ling Array." Lu Xia Tian was surprised. This grand formation was born from nature, and compared to the meticulously crafted formations by expert array masters, this one looked slightly rough. However, it completely cut off the aura from the other end of the formation, leaving no trace of human intervention. It's a good hiding place."

Lu Xia Tian rested his chin, carefully examining the Xuan Shui Ji Lei Dun Ling Array. His figure flickered, entering this natural grand formation.

　　Boom! A water-infused lightning bolt struck Lu Xia Tian, the outsider, head on.

Lu Xiaottian raised his foot, and the thunder column struck the phantom where he had stood. At this time, Lu Xiaottian could use the water-attribute thunder power of the Qingguo barrier to absorb it, but if he absorbed too much thunder power, he was afraid that it would shake the foundation of this formation. It would be difficult to play a role in concealing his aura afterward.

Even within this large formation, Lu Xia Tian's speed was astonishing. After catching a glimpse of the edge of spatial power, his high-speed travel and sudden changes in direction became increasingly effortless. The resistance from space gradually decreased. Even within this area of just tens of miles, he moved nimbly, constantly changing directions. To the naked eye, Lu Xia Tian still appeared to be teleporting.

Bolt after bolt struck behind him, Lu Xia Tian probed every corner of the formation, and finally found the entrance to the array.
