Chapter 2405: Chapter 408: Layers of Traps: The Treasure Cave and the Black Wolf General

"Spare me, I’ll tell you everything you want to know."

The leader of the Black Wolf Soldiers finally started to beg for mercy.

No one wants to die, it’s just that some people can endure more, and some are more cowardly.

"Very well, answer my first question, who sent you to deal with me?"

Ling Xiao asked coldly.

"Sha Lin of the Sha Clan!"

The leader of the Black Wolf Soldiers replied.

"Second question, where is the Black Wolf General?"

"The Black Wolf General is in the treasury underground of White Wolf County City, it’s a secret chamber there, he’s cultivating there.

And the treasures you need are all there."

Now, the leader of the Black Wolf Soldiers would answer whatever Ling Xiao asked, without any ambiguity.

Because he didn’t want to die.

"Good! You can go die now!"

An astonishing destructive force suddenly erupted from Ling Xiao’s heavy sword: "Don’t blame me, the answers to your last two questions were good, but you lied in the first question.

You know I have a grudge against Sha Lin, so you said he sent you to kill me, but that’s not true."

"I’ll tell, I’ll tell!"

The leader of the Black Wolf Soldiers hadn’t expected Ling Xiao to discover his lie, and was scared out of his wits.

"No need, you lied, so you should die!"

Ling Xiao showed no mercy, ending the leader of the Black Wolf Soldiers’ life decisively.

To his surprise, the guy’s body actually contained a demon core.

It seems the rumors are true, these Black Wolf Soldiers are probably not normal humans.

This demon core was different from the ordinary Demon Beast Crystal Core, with special inscriptions flowing over it.

"He really was cursed!

But what does a curse matter? Others might not be able to use the cursed demon core, but for me, Ling Xiao, this thing is the supreme treasure for alchemy.

It seems I’ll soon reach the Third-Level Hell Cultivation."

Ling Xiao felt joyful.

No longer eager to find the Black Wolf General.

But instead, he sat directly into the dark magic water where the leader of the Black Wolf Soldiers had just been.

This kind of water must have been painstakingly prepared by the Black Wolf Soldiers for cultivation, only high-ranking leaders get to use it.

Ling Xiao was lucky to benefit from it.

Sitting in the magic water, he began alchemy.

Refined the cursed demon core into a "Strange Pill."

The Strange Pill has no grade.

Nor does it have fixed effects, it is a pill that can amplify the cultivation effects of a demon core or special materials.

And consuming this Strange Pill is much more effective than directly consuming the cursed demon core.

In that instant, the power of the curse was dissolved by the Tyrant Sky Martial Spirit.

The power of the magic water was also continuously extracted by the power of the curse.

Ling Xiao’s body started to change constantly, sometimes taking on the appearance of a black wolf, sometimes returning to normal.

Repeatedly for nearly an hour.

Ling Xiao opened his eyes, although he hadn’t made a breakthrough, he could feel that his power had accumulated to its peak.

A breakthrough only required a fierce battle.

Next, he was going to find the Black Wolf General for a big fight.

Breaking through in the midst of battle might bring even more benefits.

Once again, he activated the Shadow Step, combined with the Shadow Body, and Ling Xiao immersed himself into the desolate White Wolf County City.

As long as he didn’t get close to someone as strong as the leader of the Black Wolf Soldiers, Ling Xiao wasn’t afraid of being discovered.

The ordinary Martial Artists among the Black Wolf Soldiers wouldn’t even notice him passing by, only considering it a gust of wind.

Moments later, Ling Xiao had already reached the location of the treasury in White Wolf County City.

Along the way, there were constant trap mechanisms, but he, having the Tai Chi Eye, was completely unthreatened by these things, so he wasn’t afraid at all.

Just as he arrived outside the treasury, he could clearly feel an evil powerful force continuously seeping from underground.

Ling Xiao was certain, the Black Wolf General must be below.

A hint of excitement flashed across his face, and soon after he disappeared.

Meanwhile, outside White Wolf County City, another group of people arrived.

The leader of this group was none other than Sha Diao!

The rest should be Martial Artists of the Sha Clan.

"Is the information accurate? Ling Xiao entered White Wolf County City?"

Sha Diao looked towards the city already almost covered by the desert, asking coldly.

His question was not directed at anyone else but Bai Yin, ranked third among the Outer Clan of the Dark Clan.

Bai Yin’s cultivation level was not as high as Sha Diao’s, merely at the Three Layer Hell Peak Cultivation, not a Reincarnation Warrior.

When he learned that Ling Xiao intended to compete with them for the insight rights to the Shadow Black Gourd.

He had already thought about colluding with the Sha Clan.

He knew he wasn’t a match for Ling Xiao.

Although he had entered the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain earlier, his cultivation level was only about the same as Sha Mo Yun.

With two people above pressing him, it was already frustrating enough, now with Ling Xiao added to the mix, how could he tolerate it?

So whether Ling Xiao lived or died, he had to be driven back to Black Immortal Mountain to prevent competition with him.

"Rest assured, Master Sha Diao, I came with you at risk of being beheaded, if the information wasn’t accurate, do you think I would dare to come?"

Bai Yin smiled and said.

"Then it’s good! You, guard the only exit of White Wolf County City at all costs, absolutely don’t let Ling Xiao escape.

If you spot him, use the Soul Lock Badge to notify immediately, this time I will kill him for sure!"

Sha Diao’s hatred for Ling Xiao ran deep.

Although he swore on Black Immortal Mountain that he wouldn’t attack Ling Xiao, otherwise he would die tragically.

But he still didn’t want Ling Xiao alive.

This time, Ling Xiao’s departure from the Eight Immortals Mountain to White Wolf County City was an excellent opportunity.

"Don’t take action yet, wait until Ling Xiao comes out and then make your move, it won’t be too late."

Having failed to kill Ling Xiao multiple times before, Sha Diao had become extremely cautious now.

He wouldn’t first clash with the Black Wolf Soldiers of White Wolf County City.

Even though he considered them insignificant.

But he still wanted to preserve his strength, to focus fully on dealing with Ling Xiao.

He couldn’t believe Ling Xiao could make further breakthroughs in such a short time, if that were true, wouldn’t that make him a real monster?

At this moment, Ling Xiao had already arrived at the underground treasury.

This underground secret chamber was full of mechanisms and traps.

But with the Tai Chi Eye, Ling Xiao didn’t trigger any of them, and easily reached below.

If it were someone else with a similar cultivation level, they would have probably died on the way.

Because those traps and mechanisms appeared as extremely formidable through his Tai Chi Eye analysis.

Every blow could seriously injure, or even directly kill, a First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm, Third-Level Hell Cultivation Martial Artist.

Whereas Ling Xiao was only at the Yin-Yang Realm Second Layer, Hell Peak Cultivation.

In a direct confrontation, he couldn’t withstand it.

There was also an Array Formation, although it had quite a few flaws, if one didn’t understand how to break formations, it might take one or two years to succeed.

Ling Xiao was different.

He was skilled at breaking formations, making it very simple for him.

After entering the underground chamber, there were two pathways, one leading to the Black Wolf General’s place of cultivation.

The other leading to the Treasure Cave.
