Everyone was shocked, and even the direct descendants of several major cultivating families were extremely disgusted with Miss Cao's decision.
Yuan Hao frowned, snorted coldly, and thought to himself: "So what if it is your Cao family's territory? We are invited to come to the secret realm of Shuifu to practice, but you decide to distribute the valuable loot. This is different from hiring helpers without spending money. What's the difference? This young master is not that stupid. If I get it, don't expect me to spit it out!"
Even the straight-tempered Wei Tong showed doubts about Miss Cao's emphasis on fair distribution.
Wei Tong secretly murmured to Ye Ling, Bai Qiu and others in the team: "Fair distribution? She is the proud daughter of the Great Immortal Cultivation Family and the senior sister of the Yuxu Sect. She has brought more people to this experience. . For several other cultivating families, she may not kill them too harshly considering the power behind them; but for us, she will distribute the spoils to us? I don’t believe it!”
Bai Qiu lowered his voice and said, "It's rare for Fellow Daoist Wei to think clearly. It's always good for us to be more careful. Don't make any announcement about any treasure you get."
All the junior sisters of Fengchi Sect nodded in agreement, and Wei Tong also nodded in agreement.
Bai Qiu's eyes turned to Ye Ling and saw that he still looked calm and indifferent, as if he was thinking about something.
It turns out that Ye Linggang sent a spiritual message to the fourth-level spirit turtle and ordered it to guard the entrance of the secret realm of Shuifu in case of accidents. If Cao Zhen and others dare to close the phantom formation without authorization, it will be a big deal. The powerful defense of the fourth-level spirit turtle can stop them!
Under the leadership of Cao Zhen, everyone walked through the dark stone path. Occasionally, they could see low-level demon fish and shrimps swimming. When they saw the monk's aura, they all dodged and hid in the crevices of the rocks.
When everyone reached the end of the stone path, their eyes suddenly opened up, and a cave sky appeared in front of everyone, as if they were in a fairyland.
"Ha! This place is like a legendary paradise. This is our first time back!" Lu Xinmei's big watery eyes flashed with joy. Looking into the depths of the water, there was an underwater mountain.
On this underwater mountain, there are row upon row of houses, no fewer than hundreds of them, which can be described as majestic yet exquisite.
After Ye Ling looked at it for a long time, a thought came to his mind: "This is the Water Mansion that the Cao family called! Could it be that this is a retreat opened by the ancestor of the Cao family? There was a spiritual spring or a spiritual pool in this place. The water aura is extremely dense, and it is located in a deep mountain and valley. The ancestor of the Cao family specially set up a magic formation to hide this cave! It is divided into the sphere of influence of the Cao family's great cultivating immortal family. "
Through the buildings on the mountain, Ye Ling speculated that the reason for the formation of the Shuifu Cave was manpower. It was the cave built by the ancestor of the Cao family and was not created by nature. Ye Ling suddenly understood. He no longer marveled at the mystery of the secret realm of Shuifu. Instead, he understood and watched coldly.
Most other people seemed to have lost their way in it, unable to see or see through it, and kept praising this place as a mysterious and mysterious paradise.
Cao Zhen, the eldest daughter of the Cao family, ordered her junior brothers and sisters from the Yuxu Sect to open the way, and said: "No one has been to the secret realm of Shuifu for two years. It must be that a lot of spiritual grass has grown and a lot of water monsters have gathered. , you guys open the way ahead, the destination is the water house on the mountain!"
Feng Kaiyu and other disciples of the Yuxu Sect agreed with a bang, seeing it as a blessing given to them by the senior sister, so that they could pick spiritual herbs along the way.
But Ye Ling noticed that none of the Cao family's servants came, and they all surrounded Miss Cao. Ye Ling sneered in his heart: "It is indeed the Cao family's business. Cao Zhen only ordered her junior brothers and sisters to be cannon fodder, but her trusted servants all retained their strength and none of them were touched."
With these Yuxu Sect disciples going to clear the way, other teams of cultivating immortal families also spread out, looking for spiritual herbs along the way.
Wei Tong excitedly greeted Ye Ling, Bai Qiu and others, and laughed loudly: "Quick! Let's rush forward too and look for the treasures of heaven and earth in the secret realm of Shuifu. Don't let Yuxu Sect get there first!"
Fang Liu, Qiaoyu and other female cultivators from the Fengchi Sect were all infected by Wei Tong's joy. Relying on the fact that the female cultivators with water spirit roots could exert their full strength underwater, they all ran forward to find the spirit. Grass.
Only Bai Qiu and Ye Ling stayed still and followed the group of people unhurriedly.
Bai Qiu glanced at Cao Zhen's back warily and sent a message to Ye Ling's spiritual consciousness: "Fellow Daoist Ye, I always feel that Cao Zhen is familiar with everything here. Could he have betrayed us?"
"Well! Now we are on their family's territory. To put it mildly, we are both guests; to put it harshly, we are the slaves and I am the flesh and blood! We have to be more careful and be wary of her at every turn. According to my guess, Cao Zhen has her own purpose in coming to the secret realm of Shuifu!"
Ye Ling said calmly, while looking at Bai Qiu with admiration, seeing her pretty face and skin like ice and snow. In addition to a hint of coldness and arrogance, she was also smarter than ordinary people. For such a smart person, Ye Ling had no trouble communicating with her. Even if he didn't speak directly, it was always tacitly understood.
Bai Qiu couldn't help but nod, and realized that Ye Ling was looking directly at her, so she couldn't help but smile: "Fellow Daoist Ye is right, now you and I are on the same vine, both will be damaged, and both will be prosperous. The junior sisters of our sect, obviously I haven’t noticed the danger here yet, and Fellow Daoist Wei Tong Wei is a straight-tempered person. If Cao Zhen has malicious intentions and wants to catch us all, I ask fellow Daoist Ye to join hands with me unswervingly. We will support each other and not be afraid of anything happening to her. The waves are coming.”
Ye Ling was not overwhelmed by her sudden charming smile. He had seen the Fengchi Sect's technique of seducing the soul. Ye Ling's spiritual platform was still clear, and his eyes like cold stars were still clear. He said calmly: "Okay! Since Miss Bai is sincere, If you join forces with me, you shouldn’t use your sect’s secret skills.”
Bai Qiu blushed and nodded silently.
The two of them discussed in secret through the transmission of their spiritual consciousness, without alerting anyone.
But Cao Zhen's consciousness has been paying attention to everyone around her. When she saw Ye Ling and Bai Qiu frowning, and Bai Qiu's cheeks were flushed, she couldn't help but frown secretly, puzzled: "Weird thing! Like the great disciple of Yaogu Sect. Ye Ling, an ordinary monk with mixed spiritual roots, poor talent, and a very slim future for cultivating immortals. In addition, he is not very good-looking. How could he provoke Senior Sister Bai of Fengchi Sect to be so tempted? What exactly is Bai Qiu like? What do you like about him? Or do you want to ask Ye Ling to make elixirs, pretending to be shy? Ahem, it seems that Bai Qiu's character is also very questionable."
When Cao Zhen looked at Bai Qiu again, she couldn't help but feel a bit of contempt in her eyes.
Seeing that the group of people had reached the foot of the mountain, Cao Zhen turned around and said to the people who had not dispersed and practiced: "Everyone, just practice at the bottom of the mountain. I, the eldest lady, will lead people up to check to see if the prohibition formation of Shui Mansion is intact? Just go back. Sorry."
Ye Ling's heart moved and he looked at Bai Qiu.
Bai Qiu sent out a spiritual thought: "There must be a fraud in it!"
"Well, heroes see the same thing!" Ye Ling nodded.
At this time, Yuan Hao, the young master of the Yuan family, became interested in Shuifu Mansion. He wished he could go up the mountain for a visit immediately, and said loudly: "I will accompany you, and I can protect Fang Jia all the way!"
"No need, my Cao family's servants are enough! Mr. Yuan, please take your leave!" Cao Zhen said firmly, leaving no room for doubt, and immediately led the servants on the mountain road.
