After getting the opportunities in the cave, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu started to find their way out. This time, Xiaoyue was very helpful and took them directly to a wall in the West. As it waved its paws twice, the stone wall opened a slot that could accommodate one person in and out.
“Let’s go from here, there is a walkway ahead, you can leave here after crossing the passageway.”Xiaoyue said while looking at the two of them.
Hearing the beast pet’s words, Jiang Xu immediately translated it to Liu Mufeng.
“Are there any trapping mechanisms and formations in the passageway?” Staring at Xiaoyue, Liu Mufeng asked.
“There are three trapping mechanisms, but you don’t have to worry, I can close the traps, so there will be no danger. The passage from which we entered earlier is entry only and cannot be exited from. This is the only exit.”Speaking of this, Xiaoyue rolled its eyes.
Glancing at his contract beast, Jiang Xu immediately translated Xiaoyue’s words to Liu Mufeng word for word.
“So that’s how it is.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng expressed his understanding. “Xiaoyue, when I checked the stone statue just now, I found that the tail of Goddess Nuwa’s stone statue was missing. Where is that tail? Do you know?”
“The tip of Goddess Nuwa’s tail was inlaid with a flower-shaped stone. That stone was the key that could be used to open the door at the end of the promenade from outside. After being captured by the four major races, the blessed land of Nuwa, which we guarded, was hijacked by the human race and they occupied it. It was the first Lingwu Sect Master who occupied our blessed land. Therefore, our blessed land has become a small secret realm of Lingwu Sect for the disciples of the sect to gain experience. Because of its long history, it has been passed down from generation to generation. It has been exploited and divided by your human race from generation to generation, so the spiritual energy of the blessed land is getting worse and worse, and the level is getting lower and lower. 300,000 years ago, this blessed land was an eighth level realm, not a fourth level. And the key to the tail of the Goddess Nuwa was also lost during the melee, I don’t know whose hands it is now in.”Speaking of this, Xiaoyue sighed repeatedly.
After listening to Xiaoyue’s story, Jiang Xu immediately told his partner all these things.
“So that’s the case, that means there are two entrances to this cave?” Liu Mufeng was a little surprised by this.
“It’s not two, it’s only one. In fact, there is only one entrance at the end of the long corridor. You were very lucky. Using the allusions of Goddess Nuwa giving wine to the humans created on Earth and the position of Eight Trigrams, you actually opened the secret door. No human before you has opened this secret door.. Only our fox clan knows this method.”Speaking of this, Xiaoyue was a little subdued. As a follower of Goddess Nuwa, it was standing next to Goddess Nuwa’s stone statue when they reached the stone forest, and was actually very confident that Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu could not open the secret passageway. It thought that when these two people couldn’t open the passage, it would show its skills again. Unexpectedly, this guy Liu Mufeng found the entrance without its help.
After listening to his lover’s translation, Liu Mufeng smiled. “Goddess Nuwa is the mother of Earth. In fact, we humans are all descendants of Goddess Nuwa. It is not surprising that we know the allusions.”
Hearing this, Xiaoyue rolled its eyes and said in its heart:How could it not be strange?! In 300,000 years, no human race has thought of this method, only Liu Mufeng has thought of it.
The two, Master and contracted beast, chatted while walking. Because Xiaoyue had closed the three trapping mechanisms, they walked safely in the dark passageway. The three walked for about half an hour, and finally saw the end of the corridor 30 meters away.

“An intruder broke my seal at the Stone Gate.”Nodding, Xiaoyue said the same.

“Don’t go out, wait here. The people who are outside are Ma Ming and his minions. There are eleven people in total, all of them are in the Spiritual King Realm.” Having said this, Liu Mufeng narrowed his eyes. The saying ‘Enemies meet on narrow road’ was indeed true. He didn’t expect to meet him here, but it was better to meet these people here. After taking care of Ma Ming, he could go into seclusion with peace of mind. Otherwise, he would really worry about leavingXiaoXu alone.

“En, I just released my soul power to check, it’s Ma Ming. He has a flower-shaped stone in his hand, which should be the key.” Having said that, Liu Mufeng narrowed his eyes.
“Just in time.” Jiang Xu’s sword appeared in his hand.
Liu Mufeng’s mouth raised in a faint smile. He took out three medicinal pills and fed one to Jiang Xu, one to Xiaoyue, and he ate one himself.
At this moment, the Stone Gate was pushed open with a creak, and Ma Ming led a group of cultivators who were eight and nine stars of the Spiritual King Realm into the passageway.
“Liu Mufeng, Jiang Xu, its you guys?” Seeing that the two were also in the passageway, Ma Ming’s expression changed slightly.
“Senior Brother Ma, what a coincidence.” Laughing, Liu Mufeng greeted the other party softly.
“It’s really a coincidence, but I like this coincidence. I was worried about how to find you before.” Ma Ming sneered.
“Oh? Senior Brother Ma was looking for me? Do you have any business with me?” Smiling, Liu Mufeng asked knowingly.
“Hmph, stop pretending to be ignorant. Hand over the Treasure Compass, or don’t blame me for being rude to you.” With a cold snort, Ma Ming said grimly.
Hearing this, Liu Mufeng sneered. “Please do tell? What is this rude method? Is it like during the challenge match when you replaced my spiritual plants? Or like how you asked Zhang Hao and Song Mo for help and wanted to kick me out of Pill Peak? Or trying to use Liu Muyan, Song Mo and Dong Feipeng to poison me?”
“You, you…” Hearing this, Ma Ming’s face twisted. He couldn’t help thinking:Liu Mufeng also knows about Liu Muyan and the other two trying to poison him? Those three wastes really could not be trusted. All of them were old acquaintances of Liu Mufeng, especially Liu Muyan was Liu Mufeng’s Second Cousin. I had thought this was a trump card, but unexpectedly this also failed.
With a wave, Liu Mufeng directly attacked Ma Ming.
“Ahhh…” Raising his hand, it was too late for Ma Ming to block the blue light that came his way. He was directly sucked into the array plate in Liu Mufeng’s hand.
“Ahhh. Senior Brother Ma, Senior Brother Ma…” Seeing that Ma Ming was sucked into the formation, everyone exclaimed in shock.
“Liu Mufeng, you are so courageous! Quickly let out Senior Brother Ma. Quickly release Senior Brother Ma out.”
“Yes, let out Senior Brother Ma, otherwise don’t blame us for being rude to you.”
“Humph.” Looking at the group of people, Liu Mufeng directly raised his hand and threw five egg-sized balls. The balls shattered when it hit the ground, sending out a cloud of green smoke.
“Ahh…. Poison gas! Hurry up and leave. Hurry up!”
Seeing that Liu Mufeng used poison gas, the ten people were shocked, and hurriedly turned around and flew out of the tunnel.
“Hmph!It’s not that easy to leave.” Flying around, Jiang Xu chased after them with his sword in hand. Liu Mufeng also flew after him.
Flying out of Stone Gate, Liu Mufeng found that the place they came out of was a valley. Liu Mufeng directly put the array plate in his hand aside. Liu Mufeng had used a trapping array instead of a killing array. The reason why he trapped Ma Ming was because he did not want Ma Ming to die from poisoning.
Looking around, he released the Wisteria Vine, Spirit Insects and Beast Fire, and chased after the ten cultivators who had escaped. These people were all Ma Ming’s minions, and none of them could be left alive. If they were able to escape, and Ma Ming died, Elder Ma would have a witness. Even if there was no blood mark on his body, it would be very troublesome.
Seeing his lover using full firepower, Jiang Xu also released his own Beast Fire, Water Spirit Insects and Stealth Cat, releasing his full firepower as well. He also had no intention of letting these ten people go.
In terms of strength, five of these ten people were nine stars of the Spiritual King Realm, and five were eight stars in Spiritual King Realm. If they were fighting alone, Liu Mufeng might not be able to beat them. Therefore, Liu Mufeng preemptively used the poison directly.
The ten people were poisoned in the passageway, and were beaten by Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, and were chased and bitten by a group of Spirit Insects, making their situation very miserable. Even if they took the antidote, it only delayed the onset of the toxicity, and did not have an effective detoxification. Therefore, the first cultivator who was poisoned soon vomited black blood and fell to the ground. Followed by the others who also fell to the ground and died.
With the help of poison, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu had to barely put any effort into the fight. All ten cultivators were eliminated. The Spirit Insects swarmed over the corpses and began to consume them rapidly. Xiaoyue returned to Jiang Xu’s shoulder. It didn’t like those poisoned cultivators very much. Although the core of human cultivators was also a good thing, those people were poisoned to death. It was not like the Five Elements Spirit Insects which were invulnerable to all poisons. Therefore, in order to prevent itself from being poisoned, Xiaoyue could only watch Xiaoyuan, a few princes and the Wisteria Vine feasting over there.
“Mufeng, what about Ma Ming?” Looking at the array plate on the ground, Jiang Xu asked.
“Don’t worry, just wait a little longer. After an hour, the toxins in the air will naturally evaporate. When the toxins are gone, I will let him out. Then we will deal with him like how we killed Cao Hong.” Looking at his wife, Liu Mufeng said so.
“Oh, good!” Jiang Xu nodded in agreement when he heard his lover’s words.
“Actually, you don’t have to be so careful. After I advance to the Spiritual Emperor Realm, if you kill a second generation cultivator, I can help you get rid of the blood marks on your body.”Looking at its Master, Xiaoyue looked proudly talking.
“You have the ability to get rid of the blood marks?” Jiang Xu didn’t quite believe it.
“Of course there is. This is the ability I have inherited from my memory.” Speaking of this, Xiaoyue had a smug look on its face.
“That’s a good feeling.” Jiang Xu laughed when he heard this. If he had this method, then he wouldn’t have to be intimidated to kill second generation cultivators.
“Can Xiaoyue get rid of the blood mark?” Looking at his lover, Liu Mufeng asked suspiciously.
“It said that it can’t be done now, but only after advancing to the Spiritual Emperor Realm.” Speaking of this, Jiang Xu was a little disappointed, because Ma Ming still couldn’t be killed by themselves.
“Oh, that’s good!” Liu Mufeng was very happy to hear the news. If this was the case, it would be much more convenient to kill those four heroines in the future.
