Ximen Changqing entered the palace very carefully, trying his best to avoid the six foundation-building experts in the battle.
At this time, the fighting between the six people entered a fierce stage, and the whole palace was filled with auras of light. As long as no big noise was made, they would not notice anything unusual.
"The high-grade magic weapon Dan Furnace will make you a fortune now, but it will be exposed once you collect it."
Standing next to the high-grade magical elixir furnace, Ximen Changqing fell into hesitation.
He was waiting for an opportunity, a good opportunity to steal the alchemy furnace quietly.
"Wanjian returns to the clan, go."
Facing two strong men from the Heavy Sword Sect, Zuo Yulong, who had exhausted all his cards, was under great pressure. He used his sect's secret skills and launched a fierce attack.
As a large amount of sword energy swept across, a puff of smoke and dust was set off on the ground. This smoke and dust extended all the way to the location of the high-grade magic weapon alchemy furnace.
"What a great opportunity, take it."
With the help of the cover of smoke and dust, Ximen Changqing directly put the high-grade magic weapon alchemy furnace into the nine-day space.
Then, he left quietly, joined the clansmen outside the palace gate, and went to search for treasures elsewhere.
At this moment, the six foundation-building experts in the palace were still fighting hard. They seemed not to realize that the high-grade magical alchemy furnace that caused them to fight had disappeared.
Of course, the news about the alchemy furnace could not be kept secret for long. During the break between confrontations, Zuo Yulong was the first to discover the anomaly.
"Why is the high-grade magic weapon alchemy furnace missing?"
Zuo Yulong frowned slightly, with a look of disbelief on his face.
The two Epee Sect Foundation Builders suspected that he was cheating and did not change their gaze. However, after a while, they still felt that something was wrong. They glanced sideways and saw that the alchemy furnace was indeed gone.
Sixteen of them fought in a melee, and ten of them died. The remaining six had been fighting hard and had no time to collect the alchemy furnace.
But the alchemy furnace was indeed missing, right under their noses, which caused the six people who were fighting to fall into confusion.
No one can tell what happened.
"It's really ridiculous. Let's fight, but Chongbao will give others an advantage."
Zuo Yulong smiled sadly, as if he was laughing at himself. This battle was not the result he wanted.
He never expected that Thousand Insect Gate would suddenly insert a pole, turning this battle that was supposed to be swept away by the autumn wind into a fierce battle.
The three major sects lost ten foundation-building elites and spent a lot of trump cards. The remaining third-level talismans of these six people have all been used up.
"If you hadn't wanted to seize the magical elixir furnace, none of this would have happened."
Chong Jingming, a foundation-building disciple of the Chongjian Sect, angrily scolded.
Qian Xinglang and Qian Xingbo from the Thousand Insect Gate next to them also looked depressed. They fought for a while and suffered such huge losses, but Chongbao gave others an advantage.
"So what if we take it by force? The Spirit Sword Sect is the Nascent Soul Sect, and my ancestor is the Nascent Soul Elder Zuo Haoran. He is just outside the secret realm and angers me. Think about the consequences."
Zuo Yulong scolded angrily.
"The descendant of Elder Yuanying?"
The four foundation-building experts were all shocked when they heard this. They had offended the descendants of the ancestor of Nascent Soul.
In this way, when they leave the secret realm, they may get into big trouble, and the only way to avoid this big trouble is to kill these two people.
As long as Zuo Yulong and Zuo Yuxin died in the secret realm, no one would know about this matter.
"Let's do it together."
The four foundation builders looked at each other and attacked the Zuo Yulong brothers and sisters.
"You are seeking death. I will grant you my wish."
Zuo Yulong brother and sister were furious, sacrificed the best spiritual weapons, and fought with all their strength with the four of them.
Such battles and killings occurred in various locations in the Puppet Emperor's palace, and the deaths of foundation-building monks became more frequent.
Previously, the foundations for entering the secret realm were scattered everywhere, and there were not many opportunities to meet them.
At this moment, all the foundation builders who entered the secret realm poured into the Puppet Emperor's palace. The chance of encounters and fights between the foundation builder elites of each sect naturally increased significantly.
However, these have nothing to do with the five people of the Ximen family. As long as they operate the invisibility shield, they can avoid conflicts with other factions' foundation construction to the greatest extent.
Even if it is discovered that another faction has taken the treasure, as long as the treasure is not urgently needed by the Ximen family, they will choose to give it up.
"Ancestor, that was a magic weapon just now, and the opponent only had three foundation builders. Alas! What a pity."
Ximen Yunfei had a look of pity on his face, thinking that as long as he took action, he could kill the three foundation builders and seize this magic weapon.
"Yunfei, there are a lot of treasures in the secret realm. Those three are all in the late stage of foundation building, and we don't know what trump cards they have. If four or five third-level talismans are thrown out, we will also lose our trump cards."
In response to this, Ximen Zangjian tried to persuade him that if he could not take the initiative to provoke others, he would not take the initiative to provoke them.
It is not a wise move to easily fight with others over a less important treasure.
There is still a long time before the secret realm is closed. If you can use your trump card, try not to use it, lest you run out of trump cards and become a mere fish in the eyes of others.
"Rumble..."
At this moment, another change occurred in the Puppet Emperor's Palace. A nine-story tower slowly rose from the Puppet Emperor's Palace and stood among the palaces, exuding bursts of spiritual light.
"What is this? A nine-story tower."
"Puppet Emperor Tower?"
The various sects building foundations who were searching for treasures were naturally attracted to this nine-story tower.
"There must be important treasures in this Puppet Emperor Tower. Let's go without waiting for those two arrogant bastards."
Lingjian Sect Zuo Yutang quickly led his subordinates to build the foundation and rushed towards the Puppet Emperor Tower that had just appeared.
He originally wanted to join Zuo Yutang and Zuo Yuxin, but they never joined them, and they didn't carry a communication talisman with them to communicate with them.
There was nothing he could do about his brother and sister's arrogance.
After all, as long as they leave the secret realm this time, Yulong and Yuxin will form elixirs, and he will never have the chance to form elixirs.
…
More than ten miles away, Zuo Yulong and Zuo Yuxin were fighting to the death, as well as Chong Jingming, Chong Jinghai, Qianxingbo, Qianxinglang, who were fighting against them.
They all stopped fighting. They all looked at the newly appeared Puppet Emperor Tower and frowned.
"The nine-story tower appears, and there must be a treasure inside. Don't you four want to go and grab the treasure?"
Zuo Yulong was already seriously injured and did not want to continue fighting, so he opened his mouth to ask for peace.
"It's not that we want to fight, but it's the identity of fellow Taoist that makes us uneasy?"
"Fellow Taoist's Nascent Soul Ancestor is outside the secret realm. The four of us don't have the protection of the Nascent Soul Ancestor. Since we have offended our Taoist friend, we have no choice but to avoid any further trouble."
The Chong brothers and Qian brothers did not hide their thoughts.
"The four of you are worrying too much. Ancestor Yuan Ying also wants to save face and will not attack the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
It is impossible for the Lingjian Sect to declare war on the Heavy Sword Sect for the sake of two foundation-building disciples. This is not in the interests of the sect and the elders will not agree. "
Zuo Yuxin on the side said seriously.
Hearing this, the four of them looked at each other and thought it made sense. They seemed to be worrying too much.
In the future, even if someone seeks revenge, it will only be the two people in front of them, not the ancestors of Yuanying. After all, the bosses are all about face.
"Two fellow Taoists, we don't know each other since we don't know each other. Let's take our leave."
The four of them clasped their fists slightly and slowly backed away. Finally, they ran towards the nine-story tower together.
"puff……"
After the four people left, Zuo Yulong spurted out blood.
Gu: "Brother Jiu, are you okay?"
Zuo Yuxin was also injured, but in better condition.
"It's okay, I was just injured by the sword energy. I miscalculated this time and was stabbed in the back by Qianchongmen."
Zuo Yulong had a look of resentment on his face, and his eyes were full of anger.
He took out a third-level healing elixir, crossed his legs and started refining it. Zuo Yuxin beside him was also in no hurry to leave. They had to heal their wounds first, otherwise, they would be cannon fodder even if they went to the nine-story tower.
The four people who left also did not rush to the nine-story tower. They found a hidden location separately and began to swallow healing pills.
…
Eight miles away, Tianwu Sect was building its foundation. He looked at the slowly rising nine-story tower with a surprised look on his face.
"Gao Tian, the immortal seed must be in the tower."
Hero Tojo looked at Lu Gaotian with excitement on his face.
Lu Gaotian nodded quickly and said: "Hero, you are right, the immortal seed is so important, it will definitely not be placed in an ordinary place, probably in a high tower."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go get the fairy seeds quickly."
The Tojo hero spoke excitedly and led the remaining thirty foundation builders towards the Puppet Emperor Tower.
…
Three miles away, the five members of the Ximen family also saw the slowly rising Puppet Emperor Tower. They could even clearly see the Puppet Emperor Tower with three big characters, which made the five of them extremely excited.
"The Puppet Emperor Tower must contain important treasures, and our Ximen family cannot miss it."
Ximen Zangjian looked excited. Although the harvest was huge, the Puppet Emperor Tower was right in front of him. It would be a shame not to explore it.
"Let's go to the Puppet Emperor Tower and have a look. Try to get as close as possible and don't be alone."
Ximen Rende reminded him and took the lead to rush to the Puppet Emperor Tower.
At the same time, most of the foundation-building experts in the Puppet Emperor's Palace were rushing to the Puppet Emperor Tower.
There are nearly a thousand auras flying with swords.
"Array light curtain, smash it open."
More than a dozen of the Hundred Beast Sect's foundation builders were the first to rush to the Puppet Emperor Tower. Seeing that the tower was protected by a formation, they all used their spiritual weapons to attack the formation's restrictions.
However, this wave of attacks had no effect and only left some ripples on the formation light screen.
"Come again and continue the attack."
The Hundred Beast Gate foundation-building elites did not give up and continued to launch fierce attacks, but the formation light curtain was not damaged at all.
Their attacks were like scratching an itch, unable to destroy the formation light curtain at all.
The Puppet Emperor Tower was right in front of them, and they were the first to arrive. They wanted to get closer to the water tower first, but they didn't expect that they couldn't break the formation light curtain.
Later, more foundation-building monks arrived. They discussed with the Beast Sect and decided to break the ban together.
However, even if hundreds of foundation builders work together, they cannot harm the formation light screen at all.
Not only is the formation's light curtain difficult to break, but there are flight restrictions around the Puppet Emperor Tower, making it impossible for Foundation Establishment monks to fly with their swords.
"Ancestor, should we go up and help?"
Ximen Yunfei asked.
At this time, the five members of the Ximen family had arrived, and they had already removed their invisibility masks.
In a place where foundations are gathered, it is difficult for the invisibility shield to play a big role. As long as you try to seize the treasure, you will be exposed immediately.
"Don't rush, just wait and see what happens."
Seeing a group of foundation-building elites storming the formation light screen, Ximen Zangjian shook his head.
There are only five of them, and their strength is insignificant. It is better to recharge their batteries first so that they can better capture the treasure later.
"Hulala..."
At this moment, the Puppet Emperor Tower made a dull sound, like boiling water, but the sound was more powerful.
"A treasure is a treasure."
Just when the foundation builders were wondering what the sound was, more than ten rays of spiritual light sprayed out from the top of the Puppet Emperor Tower.
Every ray of spiritual light is a treasure, and the direction of the spray is random.
A jade slip fell towards the location of the five Ximen family members, making the five people very happy.
"let me."
Ximen Yunfei jumped up suddenly, snatched the jade slip into his hand, and then looked at each other with the four tribesmen before escaping underground.
The dozen or so Ji Zhu who planned to snatch the jade slips were a step too slow and were naturally unwilling to let Ximen Yunfei snatch away their treasures.
Among them, three foundation builders crushed the Earth Escape Talisman and pursued them.
The four members of the Ximen family were indifferent to this. They knew Ximen Yunfei's ground escape technique, and it was absolutely impossible for these three foundation builders to catch up.
The remaining treasures, which were not located where the Ximen family members were, were all being snatched by a group of foundation builders. If they rushed over, they were bound to be unable to grab anything, so it was better to recharge their batteries.
"Top-grade spiritual weapons, low-grade magic weapons, second- and third-grade talismans, elixirs, secret books, third-grade ores, thousand-year-old elixirs, there are so many good things."
Seeing the treasures flying in all directions, Ximen Changqing smiled faintly.
These treasures are all good, but it is a pity that the Ximen family does not have the ability to fight for them. What treasures they can fight for depends entirely on luck.
In the other direction, Hero Tojo and Lu Gaotian saw a golden ball flying towards them, and they were immediately excited.
"Could the golden ball be a fairy seed?"
Hero Tojo's eyes were full of excitement, and a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Lu Gaotian frowned and said: "Whether it is an immortal or not, this treasure must be ours."
The Tianwu Sect built its foundation on the 30th and cooperated fully to release a bunch of second-level talismans to block the foundation building of other factions that came to compete for the golden ball.
Lu Gaotian jumped up suddenly and finally held the golden ball in his hand.
The appearance of this treasure did match the description of the one-eyed evil spirit on the immortal species, but they didn't know whether it was an immortal species or not.
When the golden ball flew out, Ximen Changqing also saw it. Of course it was not a fairy seed, but a one-time formation-breaking treasure, the Sky Thunder Bead. The effect was even better than the formation-breaking beads.
The various factions that were blocked by the Tianwu Sect were not sure what the golden ball was, but they saw that the Tianwu Sect valued the golden ball so much.
He thought it was a valuable treasure, so several major sects around him built foundations and began to besiege Tianwu Sect, intending to seize the golden ball.
"Gao Tian, there are too many of them, let's evacuate temporarily."
The hero of Tojo shouted loudly, and fought and retreated while building the foundation of Tianwumen.
"Hulala..."
Soon, the Puppet Emperor Tower sprayed out more than a dozen treasures, which made several sect foundation-building monks who were chasing the Tianwu Sect choose to give up.
They turned around to fight for the newly spewed treasure, and there was another brutal fight and fight.
None of the dozens of treasures in this wave flew towards the location of the Ximen family members, and they could only watch helplessly.
However, there are no particularly precious treasures. The most valuable ones are just mid-grade magic weapons.
"Buzzing..."
At this moment, the sound-transmitting spiritual weapon in Ximen Rende's arms vibrated.
