Yan Yi'yi and Yan Hui who were assigned to bring the disciples of the Thousand Sword Sect, were now cursing inwardly, as the wounds they had obtained earlier had yet to fully recover completely.
" damn... If it's like this, we can't get anything." Yan Yi'yi grumbled, as they could not travel down the mountain region more freely, being injured.
All the members of the Thousand Swords Sect who were assigned, did not dare to take risks as there were still many dangerous places.
" Let's watch out later. If there's another invitation, I'll avenge this insult." Yan Hui clenched his teeth, as the injuries he had sustained took quite a long time and required a lot of resources in order to fully recover.
If all the disciples of the Thousand Sword Sect were to force themselves too hard to explore the mountain region, then the injuries they had sustained were getting worse and resulting in a stalemate at their cultivation level.
" We underestimated the Sky Dragon Sect too much." Said Yan Yi'yi, as they had previously only brought in disciples who had only reached the first level of the Realm Swordsman and had no special abilities.
While on the side of the Heavenly Dragon Sect were Guang Louzhy, the Three Phoenix Swords and the two dragon soul owners.
" In addition to the Three Sword Phoenixes and Jun Meiyin, they had two other genius figures. It turned out that Shen Long had a lot of support." Said one of the disciples of the Thousand Sword Sect.
" You guys don't get it wrong. The Heavenly Dragon Sect also had a girl who possessed the Poisonous Dragon. That girl is also very dangerous if allowed to develop." One of the disciples of the Thousand Swords Sect spoke up.
The disciple explained that their group had suffered heavy injuries while fighting against the owner of the Poisonous Dragon.
" In that case, we should report this matter to the Elder." Yan Hui thought at another time, they should bring in another talented disciple, to kidnap the Three Sword Phoenixes and Jun Meiyin.
Yet the Thousand Swords Sect disciple had yet to take into account Shen Long's abilities, having yet to meet him.
Only the Iron Wolf Sect disciples alone had already sensed how powerful the figure named Shen Long was.
The Iron Wolf Sect known for developing physical abilities alone could be crippled in a single blow.
" What about that young man named Shen Long?" Ask one of the students.
" On my own merits the young man will die at my hands." Yan Hui was full of confidence, clenching his fist.
" You think you're the one who wants to kill him? I'll make sure Shen Long dies in my hands." Yan Yi'yi was unwilling to lose, as the price of Shen Long's head was comparable to the Three Phoenix Swords.
After speaking for quite a while, now the disciples of the Thousand Sword Sect again continued on their way to seek good fortune, to make up for the losses they had experienced before.
*******
Inside the cave earlier, now Shen Long had managed to break through the third level of the Swordsman Realm, albeit by depleting the Natural Nectar Water that was in the lake.
' It was unexpected that teacher could spend all this amount of Natural Nectar Water just to rise by one level. It was only fitting that his ability was so great.' Gui Hua thought, staring at the dried up lake.
Gui Hua could estimate that if the other Cultivators were to absorb that Natural Nectar Water, it would require dozens of people to spend it all.
Gui Hua thought that if he fought against Shen Long, it was certain that he would be heavily injured in one hit, despite possessing the Poisonous Dragon.
' One day I had to go beyond the teacher. Thus I can protect the teacher.' Gui Hua felt challenged to look for other good luck in order to improve his physical quality.
On the other hand, Shen Long who was already walking in front, now his gaze was fixed on the two-branched cave passage.
" Hua... Looks like we should split up...."
" Good teacher, the student will take the left aisle."
Before Shen Long continued his words, Gui Hua immediately shot towards the left passageway, as he could sense that the place held many Spirit Beasts.
Looking at Gui Hua who had already entered into the left cave, Shen Long opened his mouth wide, as the girl acted up before getting her approval.
" Haha... This girl is taking too much risk." Shen Long muttered, then walked into the cave on the right.
After walking for about a hundred meters from the cave branch, Shen Long's eyes were now fixed on the figure of the old man sitting cross-legged.
" Anyone has finally come here to bring me the Immortal's spiritual roots." Said the old man, opening his eyes, then turning towards Shen Long.
Hearing the words of such a gentleman, Shen Long instantly raised his vigilance while taking out his Thousand Star Sword.
From Shen Long's observation, the old man in front of him was suffering from deep wounds, but his ability could not be taken lightly.
" It was unexpected that you had such a precious Immortal spiritual root."
" You better give that Immortal spiritual root voluntarily to me. Thus, you will be freed from the Immortal spiritual root host that makes it difficult for you to improve your cultivation." The old man who was still sitting on the boulder, was now staring intently at Shen Long while giving off an extremely strong aura of Intimidation to Shen Long.
Gaining the emphasis of the old man in front of him, Shen Long hurriedly released the Divine Dragon Aura to withstand the pressure from the old man.
" The cultivation level of this old man is very high. Lucky he's in a really bad state." Thought Shen Long, who still had not acted, because the old man in front of him was very dangerous.
" Sorry... I won't give you my spiritual roots." Shen Long immediately refused, as giving spiritual roots was the same as suicide.
Even if it could be done, Shen Long did not want to lose the Immortal spiritual root that had been accompanying his life journey, despite having to share the Resources.
" Better rethink your decision, young man! If you have Immortal spiritual roots, then you need Resources tens of times that of ordinary Cultivators." The old man did not want to act rashly, as he was injured despite already reaching the fifth level Earth Swordsman.
Moreover, a Cultivator who had Immortal spiritual roots possessed great power, so the old man persuaded Shen Long to be able to negotiate.
" If you already know that the Immortal spiritual root will slow down development, why would you want it?" Shen Long did not let down any caution at all, directly putting up the horses.
Seeing Shen Long who could not be invited to negotiate, even that old man looked furious, because the young man preferred to fight.
" all right... If you refuse it, then I will take it by force."
Wuush!
Simultaneously with his words, the old man immediately shot towards Shen Long, while swinging his hand into a claw.
