Chapter 106 Initial Success of Supernatural Power
However, just as they were about to step into the cave, a deep humming sound came from the depths of the cave.
Immediately afterwards, countless tarantulas poured out of the cave entrance, and those cultivators who had just stepped in were instantly turned into piles of withered bones...
Although these tarantulas are not individually powerful, their sheer number is enough to make any strong person tremble with fear.
Upon seeing this, the four Nascent Soul cultivators each unleashed their supernatural powers to suppress and kill the swarm of spiders, turning large numbers of them into ashes.
But the tarantulas seem endless; every time one batch is wiped out, a new one quickly emerges from the depths of the cave.
Those below the Nascent Soul stage are utterly incapable of withstanding a swarm of insects of this size, let alone venturing into the cave to search for treasure.
The four Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't help but show solemn expressions.
"Li Xin, you said you've seen a Spider King appear?" Li Ming, the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to the Ancestor, when I was chasing two spies from the Tang Dynasty, I did indeed discover the Spider King!" Li Xin said respectfully.
"A spy from the Tang Dynasty? Where is he?" Li Ming asked.
"They were dragged into the cave by the Spider King and have probably already been devoured!"
Upon hearing this, Li Ming nodded. It was impossible for a minor cultivator to survive in a cave.
He then looked at the other three Nascent Soul cultivators, "Fellow Daoists, the only solution now is to find the Spider King and drive it away. Perhaps then these wolf spiders will retreat!"
“Fellow Daoist Li is right, but we Nascent Soul cultivators can turn the world upside down with a single move. If we sink the underground palace just to find the Spider King, wouldn’t the treasures be lost forever?” said the old monster from the Nascent Soul stage of the Song Kingdom.
"It's alright, I have a set of magic weapons that can freeze the underground palace. Just do your thing!" Jin Shuang of the Tang Dynasty raised her hand, and forty-nine array flags appeared.
Then, with a wave of his hand, forty-nine array flags disappeared directly into the desert.
Seeing this, the other three Nascent Soul cultivators said no more and once again unleashed their divine powers to bombard the underground palace, hoping to force the Spider King to...
Show up.
In an instant, the world changed color as four powerful spiritual energies intertwined, roaring like four angry dragons as they charged into the depths of the cave.
A sandstorm arose, obscuring the sun and moon, and the entire underground palace resembled a small boat, seemingly on the verge of sinking.
"Prime Minister, this underground palace seems to be about to collapse!" Zhao Yun said to Kongming.
At this moment, Kongming had awakened from his enlightenment, and the aura emanating from him was even more unpredictable than before, with every move he made exuding an extraordinary and refined air.
He slightly opened his eyes, his gaze as deep as the sea, as if nothing in the world could escape his discerning eyes.
Kongming smiled calmly and said, "Zilong, don't worry. Let them fight, we'll just leave!"
Having said that, he slowly stood up, his movements light and graceful, while the wolf spider king lay prostrate on the ground, as if in worship.
Kongming walked over and gently patted its head.
The giant tarantula trembled slightly under Kongming's gentle touch, as if it could feel the natural intimacy and indescribable majesty emanating from this human.
"Go, lead your people back elsewhere, this is the end."
Kongming's voice seemed to have a magical power. The tarantula king let out a low growl and turned to crawl out of the cave.
Kongming smiled slightly, then took a step with Zhao Yun, and the surrounding soil automatically parted to both sides, as if it were not hindered by gravity and sand, and instantly they disappeared dozens of miles underground.
When he took another step, he was already a hundred miles away. Kongming watched the commotion from afar, a cold smile playing on his lips.
Who would have thought that a group of high-ranking Nascent Soul cultivators would be toyed with by a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator?
I wonder what their expressions will be like when they conquer the underground palace...
……
Yuzhou of the Great Tang Dynasty.
Upon receiving the message from the Jade Cauldron Sect, Li Guangling, Li Muling, and others arrived at the Jade Prefecture Wharf early in the morning.
"Your Highness, Master Zhuge is truly a divine being. The Jade Cauldron Sect suffered defeats several times, but he took action and brought back the warhorses in a short time. We are truly far behind him!" Ji Yizhi whispered from the side.
"Of course! Brother Kongming's wisdom is unparalleled, and few in the world can match him!" Li Muling's beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration, and her words were full of pride.
Li Guangling glanced at his younger sister, exhaled a breath of stale air, and said, "I have never doubted her abilities, but once she gets into a trance, she can turn on you in an instant, showing no mercy to even her own family!"
"Brother! You're just asking for trouble. Brother Kongming is not only very knowledgeable, but also a man of great loyalty and righteousness!" Li Muling pouted her red lips and said with a displeased look.
"You silly girl, what kind of spell did he cast on you? Why are you always siding with outsiders?" Li Guangling poked Li Muling's head and said.
Ji Yizhi, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh and quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Your Highness, the Princess is right. Although Master Zhuge sometimes acts strangely, he is indeed a person who values loyalty and righteousness. Otherwise, he wouldn't have wholeheartedly assisted you just because his master was on good terms with the late King!"
"Did you hear that! If you say another bad word about Brother Kongming, I'll have my sister-in-law deal with you..."
As the three were talking, a deep horn sounded from the distant sea. Giant cargo ships, stretching for hundreds of miles, with sails like clouds that blotted out the sun, slowly sailed into Yuzhou Wharf.
As they drew near, the warhorses neighed, their voices echoing across the land.
"Prepare for the arrival, and make sure that every warhorse is properly cared for."
Li Guangling gave the order and then led everyone to the dock, preparing to personally receive this batch of precious strategic resources.
At this moment, the cultivators from the Jade Cauldron Sect also arrived at the dock, looking at the sea with satisfaction.
As the ship docked smoothly, a Taoist monk dressed in a Taoist robe slowly stepped out of the cabin.
"Elder Qingyang, you must be tired from your journey!"
Upon seeing the newcomers, Li Guangling and his companions hurriedly bowed and paid their respects.
Elder Qingyang glanced at the group, then with a flick of his sleeve, headed towards the direction where the Jade Cauldron Sect cultivators were gathered.
"Senior Brother Qingyang, you have made a great contribution this time. The sect leader will surely reward you handsomely!" said an elder of the Jade Cauldron Sect, somewhat envious.
"It was just luck! But this trip was definitely not easy; I went through a lot of trouble to get these warhorses!"
Elder Qingyang said modestly, but in his heart he was already soaring to the heavens.
The sect had launched several operations but hadn't even seen a single horse hair, yet he had brought back a full 500,000 horses—that was no small feat…
Before long, one after another, fine horses with glossy coats and robust bodies were transferred from the cargo ship to the shore.
A group of soldiers stroked these fine steeds with great joy.
However, Li Muling's attention was clearly not on that; she ran towards a cargo ship, trying to find that familiar figure.
She searched all the cargo ships but still couldn't find the person she wanted to see, and she immediately became worried.
Li Guangling knew, of course, who his younger sister was looking for, and then led Li Muling toward the crowd of Yu Ding Sect members.
"Elder Qingyang, why didn't my Immortal Master Zhuge accompany you?" Li Guangling asked, forcing himself to speak.
"Hmph! This man does nothing but cause trouble in the Yuan Kingdom all day long. If I hadn't stepped in and turned the tide, how could we have gotten back these 500,000 warhorses?"
Elder Qingyang glared at the brother and sister, and said impatiently...
