``` "You still think to escape now? Too late!" sneered the Golden Armor Corpse, disdain dripping from his voice. With a forceful push of his legs, he shot up into the sky like a cannonball and caught up with a Golden Core cultivator in just a few breaths. The unfortunate Golden Core cultivator, feeling the deadly aura of the corpse so close, cried out in a voice filled with pleading, "Save me! I don't want to die!" But how could the others, who were struggling to save themselves, possibly stop for an unfamiliar Golden Core and take such a risk? "Damn it! Why is there a Golden Armor Corpse in this relic?" Jiang Tianming's heart felt as if it were steeped in bitterness, sour and astringent. Especially now, when his own situation was extremely dangerous because he was close to the Golden Core that the Golden Armor Corpse had grasped! To save his life, Jiang Tianming took out his true life-saving measure—a simple jade talisman. During a training session at the Foundation Establishment Stage, Jiang Tianming stumbled upon an opportunity that greatly aided his breakthrough to Golden Core, and it was then that he obtained this jade talisman. Upon appraisal, Jiang Tianming learned that the talisman sealed an escape skill called the Hundred Mile Sword Escape. Humm— The jade talisman was activated by mana, and a cyan sword light enveloped Jiang Tianming. In just half a breath, he flew to the limits of everyone's sight and disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.@@@@ The Golden Armor Corpse merely looked up at the fleeing Jiang Tianming. He didn't care that someone had escaped. After all, the blood feed within the relic, along with several Golden Cores, would be enough for him to break through to the fourth stage and become a Flying Asura! ---- The events occurring at the center of the relic were still unknown to the other cultivators. Because everyone knew that many Golden Core cultivators were gathered there, how would those of lower stages dare to approach? And because they were unaware, a large number of cultivators were still fighting to the death over resources, endlessly in strife. "With the relic in such chaos now, if we try to decode the formation again, we might be attacked by cultivators," said Li Zhirui, who felt that they had already reaped a rich harvest and that there was no need to continue exploring the relic. Li Zhirui and the two others were now in another room, originally a storage place for Spirit Pills, set up similarly to the previously-seen Spiritual Medicine storeroom, filled with a large number of drawers. However, probably because the Spirit Pills had not been replenished in time, or perhaps they had just been distributed to the disciples of this power, most of the drawers were empty, not even a storage bag was left. "Hand over the treasures! Do so, and you may live!" an early Foundation Establishment elder shouted. But in response, an array of weapons condensed from river water by Li Zhirui battered him, causing the Defensive Spiritual Light around him to shake wildly, forcing him to inject more mana into his Magic Artifact. "Would the others still not show themselves?" called out Li Zhirui calmly, his voice spreading through the water. A scholar-like middle Foundation Establishment cultivator emerged from a corner, "Since the fellow daoist has cordially invited us, I shall naturally come forth to meet you." Following him were a skimpily dressed woman with a shapely figure, a silver-haired old crone with a dragon-headed cane, and a black-clad cultivator showing only a pair of eyes. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire All three were in the early stages of Foundation Establishment. Li Zhirui's attention, however, wasn't on these four individuals. Instead, he stared at a certain corner for a while before suddenly shooting several Water Arrows in that direction. "Hahaha, I didn't expect the fellow daoist to be so observant," said a tall, muscular cultivator resembling a humanoid bear as he emerged. "Late Foundation Establishment?!" Li Zhirui's pupils contracted sharply. He had heard from Li Shiting there was a cultivator in this spot that the Green Scale Snake feared, but he never expected it to be a late Foundation Establishment cultivator! The appearance of this burly man didn't just make Li Zhirui and his group nervous— the other five were also on the alert, keeping their distance from him. "Yield the Spiritual Objects you've acquired, and I shall spare you," boomed the muscular man's voice like rolling thunder, setting everyone's hearts racing. "Are those five fellow daoists listening to you?" Li Zhirui deliberately overlooked the wariness in their expressions, treating the six of them as one group. The brawny man might have looked muscular and simple-minded, but in reality, he saw right through Li Zhirui's cunning, saying with a smirk that was not quite a smile, "There's no need to be so eager to stir up conflict among us. After all, we have a common enemy and interests until you are dealt with." "Is that so?" Li Zhirui shrugged his shoulders, while the three of them quietly retreated into a corner. Hum! Just as the muscular man grew impatient and was about to seize the treasures by force, Li Shiren immediately activated the formation they had prepared earlier. The formation did not trap all six cultivators, only the muscular man, the elder, and the old crone. But that was enough! The original formation of the six surrounding them had been breached, revealing a flaw and providing them with an opportunity to escape.
