Chapter 323: Fang Che's Promotion, Ownership of the Crystal, and an Ominous Premonition (10,000 Words) (Part 1)

"Yin-Yang Shock!"

With one negative and one positive, they simultaneously unleashed their power, affecting each other.

All four of them would be sent flying by the Yin-Yang Shock, escaping the absorption range of the Crystal Soul.

But the timing had to be precise.

In the end, it was Rain Song and Jing Shuanggao who took action, both from super clans. Rain Song was from a second-rank clan, and Jing Shuanggao from a third-rank clan. They had both received the inheritance of Yin-Yang Shock.

This way, all four of them would suffer severe internal injuries.

However, they could completely preserve all the benefits they had absorbed, and when they recovered, it would be time for the four of them to gradually grow stronger.

By then, each day would be spent eating and drinking, and their cultivation would improve effortlessly!

The only downside was that this injury could only be healed through natural recovery, and no healing divine pills would be effective.

But for the sake of their future, it was worth it!

Rain Song had already calculated everything. Once the four of them woke up from their coma, they would start cultivating right here. Located ten thousand feet underground, who could possibly find them?

There was no chance of anyone else coming!

If they got thirsty or hungry, there was underground water, and in it, there were bound to be fish, shrimp, snakes, and possibly other things beneficial to cultivation.

With their cultivation levels, they would never go hungry.

Even with severe injuries, they wouldn't starve.

After absorbing everything, they went out... shocking the world?

They had already dreamed of this scenario several times.

Thinking of the four of them pinning down Fang Che, beating him up, then lifting him up by a single finger under his chin, and smiling evilly, "Youngest, call me Big Brother!"

The mere thought made them feel incredibly satisfied.

And so, the four of them passed out together...

...

No one knew how much time had passed...

Outside, the sound of water was gushing, gradually rising.

A stream of water flowed in through the broken opening, entering the cave, and upon seeing the cave filled with crystals, the intruder couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Immediately, the intruder transformed into a human form and crawled up from the ground.

Looking at the crystals all around, their face was filled with a drunken fascination.

"So it was here all along... The reserves are so vast, no wonder the Only Righteous Sect had to work hard for half a year to trigger the volcano... Hmm, what's the deal with this Crystal Soul? Is it newly formed or... Why are there people here?"

The intruder looked at the four unconscious youths, then at the Crystal Soul, which had dimmed to the point where a gentle breeze could extinguish it, and couldn't help but twist their face in disgust.

"What the... How did these four get down here? Are they from our sect or the Only Righteous Sect?"

They quickly searched the four of them and couldn't help but stare at their belongings. "Rain Family, Jing Family, Mo Family, Qiu Family... Hey, this is quite a gathering, but how did you get down here?"

"Not only did they come down, but they've been here for a while, and it seems they've already absorbed the Crystal Soul... So, the Crystal Soul wasn't newly formed..."

This figure was none other than the Water Deity, Xiao TianShui.

Muttering to himself, he picked up the four youths and placed them in a corner.

Then he started to worry.

"I can get out by myself, but with these four, especially this big guy... How do I get them out? I can't exactly cut them into several pieces."

Xiao TianShui looked at Mo Gaiyun with a conflicted expression.

"Why is he so big, like a bear... And he's even wearing a red headband, tsk tsk, the Mo Family sure is unique."

Grabbing a handful of crystals, he began to recover his energy, but after absorbing for less than half an hour, he suddenly opened his eyes with vigilance.

"Someone's coming? Who is it? There are actually two of them..."

Xiao TianShui quickly hid Mo Gaiyun and the others again, placing Mo Gaiyun at the bottom of the pile, and then lying on top of the four of them.

This spot was a small corner, not easily noticeable.

Outside, the sound of rushing water grew louder.

Xiao TianShui frowned, showing a disdainful expression: Is this all they've got?

With a splash, a stream of water rushed in through the opening, forming a large mass.

Immediately, a voice exclaimed, "Crystal Spirit Mine? There really is such a thing! Haha..."

Xiao TianShui showed further disdain: What's there to be surprised about?

The person outside said, "What a pity, the Crystal Soul is only newly formed..."

Xiao TianShui rolled his eyes: You don't know anything.

As the person outside was still in awe, the sound of rushing water rose again. The person frowned and muttered to himself, "Another visitor? Is it the Water Deity? I wonder why there's a purple light here... This Crystal Soul, why is it so weak? What's the use of it being newly formed?"

The person outside was talking to himself.

Then, streams of water arrows shot in, seemingly chaotic but actually following a precise pattern, sweeping across the entire area.

After hundreds of water arrows, the sound of water outside grew louder, and finally, a huge wave surged in.

With a thunderous roar, a massive wave of water rushed in.

The wave flipped over, and then, sizzling sounds filled the air...

The person outside was shooting water arrows in a ten-circle spray pattern! His vigilance was off the charts.

But it had to be said that being cautious indeed had its benefits.

One of his water arrows happened to hit the face of the person who had been hiding, forcing him to reveal himself.

"Water Fiend! You're so cautious!"

The two of them started fighting in the crystal cave.

"Water Ghost, you're not bad either, actually setting up an ambush for me inside."

Both of them had water attributes, and as they fought, the underground water outside gushed in, instantly forming two giant water waves that entangled each other.

It was an evenly matched battle, and neither could gain the upper hand.

The voices of the two merged with the sound of the waves.

"Where's the Water Deity, Xiao TianShui?" Water Fiend asked.

"If Xiao TianShui were here, do you think you'd still be alive?" Water Ghost replied.

"Haha... Do you think you're the only ones? Your Shadow Water Palace isn't any better. You took advantage of our battle with the Guardian to come and reap the benefits."

"That's still better than you Only Righteous Sect people!"

Water Ghost's voice was low and deep, "If Xiao TianShui were here, the two of us would join forces against you. Our Shadow Water Palace only needs three-tenths of these crystals, and we don't even want the Crystal Soul!"

"Are you saying this for Xiao TianShui to hear? Too bad he's not here, Water Ghost. You're going to die today!"

Water Fiend laughed coldly, and his attacks grew stronger.

As Shui Gui was gradually suppressed, Shui Gui was gradually overpowered by Shui Mei.

Shui Shen remained hidden, motionless.

Finally, with a loud boom, Shui Gui was struck by Shui Mei's palm on the shoulder, sending him flying amidst a splash of water, his mouth bleeding. Yet, he coldly smiled and said, "Shui Mei, even if you're stronger than me, what can you do? This place is still the Guardian's territory. I don't believe Xiao Tian Shui won't find this place."

"I just need to stall you until he arrives, and your death is certain."

"Can you really hold me back? I'll finish you off within half an hour!"

Shui Mei was also worried about this issue, so he fought swiftly and aggressively.

Shui Gui was at a complete disadvantage, and with both of them entangled in water streams, he had no chance of escape.

Finally, Shui Gui roared, "Xiao Tian Shui! Xiao Tian Shui!"

His voice echoed through the underground.

But Xiao Tian Shui still didn't move.

Shui Mei, furious, shouted, "Shut up!"

Shui Gui was not about to shut up, and if Xiao Tian Shui didn't show up soon, he was as good as dead.

Spitting blood, he cried out, "Xiao Tian Shui, I only need two-tenths of the Yin Shui Palace!"

"Just one-tenth!"

"Half is enough! Just let me return and save face!"

Shui Gui kept calling out, and as he continued to be injured, the Shui Shen he had been calling for never arrived.

Seeing that he was about to die at Shui Mei's hands, Shui Gui screamed miserably, "I don't want anything! Nothing! I know you're here, and if you don't come out, I'll start talking..."

Boom!

Shui Mei, who was attacking, took a powerful palm strike to his back, sending him flying and bleeding from all seven orifices. His internal organs were shattered.

Xiao Tian Shui transformed into a violent water wave and struck out.

Smiling, he said, "You don't want anything, Shui Gui. You said so yourself."

Shui Gui, barely conscious, floated on the water's surface, "I don't want anything! Just don't kill me."

On the other side, Shui Mei let out a painful cry and was struck again.

Suddenly, a towering wave rose, flooding the entire Crystal Cave, and with a hoarse voice, he said, "Xiao Tian Shui, hello. You wait."

"You still want to run!"

Xiao Tian Shui sealed the cave entrance and launched consecutive attacks.

However, the water streams were impenetrable, and after Shui Mei endured several injuries, he finally broke through and escaped.

The sound of rushing water filled the air as he instantly transformed into countless tiny streams and slipped into various crevices.

Shui Gui, gasping for breath, said, "You should've come out earlier... You control water better than us, but your attacks are average... If you had come out earlier, I could've saved some strength... Why didn't you kill him? You just had to be greedy for this cave's crystal."

Xiao Tian Shui sighed and threw a pill over, saying, "Heal your injuries. It's not that I'm greedy, but with this small amount of crystal spirit ore, all the guardians and protectors on the continent need it... How can we spare any for you? Even giving you a piece would weaken the guardians' combat strength."

He coldly said, "Your Yin Shui Palace doesn't participate in the battle between good and evil, so what use is it to you?"

Shui Gui sighed, took the pill, and put it in his mouth, saying, "But here, with just you alone, how can you transport it up? You'll need help, right?"

"Do you think Xue Daren and Jian Daren won't come down once they know the location?"

Xiao Tian Shui said, "Once your injuries are better, you should leave. I'll stay here and guard, and Xue Daren and the others should be coming down soon."

He had notified Xue Fu Xiao as soon as he discovered the situation.

However, it would still take Xue Fu Xiao some time to find this place.

Moreover, they were still in the middle of a battle.

After a while, Shui Gui's breathing stabilized, and he said, "In that case, I'll go up first and bring Xue Fu Xiao and the others down. Consider it a favor in return for saving my life. Also, don't target the Yin Shui Palace anymore."

He earnestly said, "Let us have some peace in the great marsh, as your battle between good and evil is something our Yin Shui Palace can't afford to get involved in."

Xiao Tian Shui pondered for a moment and said, "Fine."

Shui Gui stood up and sighed softly, "It's just a pity that the Crystal Soul has just taken shape. What a waste... Seeing this, it'll likely take at least tens of thousands of years... But now that this place has been discovered, there's no chance for the Crystal Soul to form."

"What a waste of such top-tier heavenly treasures."

"That's just how it is."

Xiao Tian Shui indifferently said, "How could we possibly wait for tens of thousands of years? Even if we wanted to, how could the Only Righteous Sect wait? Moreover, this Crystal Cave has already been damaged, and even if millions of years pass, the Crystal Soul won't be able to form."

"You're right."

Shui Gui sighed, transformed into a water stream, and rushed out.

...

In the sky above, the intense battle had come to a temporary halt, and both sides were in a standoff.

On this side, over a hundred Guardian experts had arrived, including veteran masters like the Heaven-Shattering Hammer, Dongfang Chongming.

This clearly showed the importance they attached to this battle.

On the other side, there were also forty to fifty members of the Only Righteous Sect.

Duan Xiyang stood tall with his spear, looking down upon the world.

Neither side made a move.

Because someone had arrived.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a figure in black appeared, blocking out the sun, and an overwhelming terror descended.

A black-clad figure slowly approached in the air, with his hands behind his back.

Beside him were two others, but in the face of his overwhelming aura, they seemed invisible.

It was the Second Vice-Leader of the Only Righteous Sect, Yan Nan!

He had come personally!

"Greetings, Vice-Leader."

All members of the Only Righteous Sect bowed deeply in unison.

Only Duan Xiyang slightly nodded, acknowledging his presence.

Yan Nan, with his hands behind his back, landed gracefully on the mountaintop. Someone brought out a chair, and Yan Nan sat down directly.

He sat with poise and solemnity.

Looking at Xue Fu Xiao in the air, Yan Nan said, "Xue Daren, won't you come down for a chat?"

Xue Fu Xiao laughed heartily, "It's an honor to be able to chat with the Second Vice-Leader of the Only Righteous Sect, Yan Nan, who has shaken the world."

His white robe fluttered as he descended from the sky.

Yan Nan said, "This time, I've brought a large force, but it's not for a decisive battle. Xue Daren, I've been planning for three years, all for this Crystal Soul."

His voice was firm, and although his words sounded like a negotiation, they carried an undeniable tone of authority.

Xue Fu Xiao smiled faintly, "It's just a pity..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly paused.

A stone bounced up, and a stream of water surged out.

Then, Shui Mei emerged from the water and stepped out.

His mouth was still bleeding.

Seeing such a grand scene, he quickly bowed, "Greetings, Vice-Leader."

A bow, and more blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, indicating a severe injury.

Yannan flicked his fingers, and a bottle of medicine flew towards him. With a calm expression, he asked, "Is there a formidable enemy below? Shui Shen Xiao Tian Shui?"

"Yes. The Deputy Chief's predictions are like divine insights."

"Hmm... Have you investigated the situation clearly?" Yannan inquired.

"Yes, I've investigated thoroughly. There is indeed a large Crystal Spirit Mine below. However..."

Shui Mei's face twisted in conflict as she explained, "The Crystal Soul is barely formed, and even then, it hasn't ignited into flames. It's just a flickering shadow."

Yannan's calm expression turned into a frown. "Not formed yet?"

"Yes, I'm a million percent certain," Shui Mei confirmed.

Shui Mei continued, "But this Crystal Spirit Mine has an extremely high purity, and there's a significant amount stored."

Yannan fell into deep thought.

He, too, was surprised. How could the Crystal Soul not be formed yet?

Beside the mountain stream, another surge of water rose, revealing Shui Gui, also covered in blood and looking utterly disheveled.

Shui Gui felt an irresistible force as he emerged from the ground, his body still forming. Before he could react, a large hand grabbed him.

When Shui Gui saw the person in front of him, he almost suffered a mental breakdown on the spot.

There were so many high-ranking members of the Weiwo Righteous Sect, even Duan Xiyang was standing there!

Who was this person holding him?

Yannan placed Shui Gui in front of him and declared, "I, Yannan, the Deputy Chief of Weiwo Righteous Sect!"

Shui Gui's ears rang, and his world spun.

"Yannan!"

"Deputy Chief of the Weiwo Righteous Sect, Shui Gui pays his respects!"

Yannan hummed in response and ordered, "Stand up and speak."

"Yes."

"What's the situation below?"

"There's a Crystal Spirit Mine, and a very faint, unformed Crystal Soul is brewing," Shui Gui replied, not daring to hide anything.

Facing Yannan, he didn't even have the heart to lie.

Yannan closed his eyes, grabbing Shui Gui's head, and instantly, he traced back time.

In an instant, he witnessed everything in the Crystal Cave, seeing through Shui Gui's perspective. He observed it all, including the battle.

After a moment, Yannan released Shui Gui and handed him a bottle of medicine, "Thank you."

Shui Gui's head throbbed with pain, but he dared not be impudent. He bowed and thanked Yannan, "Thank you, Deputy Chief, for the medicine and your trust."

Yannan remained silent.

His expression was unreadable, but the crowd could sense his disappointment.

Three years of planning.

Nine volcanoes erupting.

A large number of experts mobilized.

And upon arrival, the Crystal Soul was unformed!

For Yannan, this was a massive blunder.

"Oh..."

Yannan stood tall, having lost interest.

But seeing his subordinates standing there, he turned to Xue Fuxiao and spoke in a very calm tone, "Xue, please convey to Dongfang that we, the Weiwo Righteous Sect, demand three-tenths of this Crystal Spirit Mine."

Xue Fuxiao replied, "Please wait a moment."

Yannan's intention was clear—he wanted to save face after this blunder. In reality, he was trying to salvage the situation.

Now, it was up to Dongfang Sansan to decide whether to give him this face.

After a moment, Xue Fuxiao looked at the communication jade and said, "Deputy Chief Yannan, Sansan's intention is clear. Three-tenths is too much. We've lost several million people here, and our homeland has been destroyed. This was our territory, and everything was ours. To give away three-tenths is simply too much."

Xue Fuxiao continued, "Sansan said that after the mining is complete, she can gift one-tenth to Deputy Chief Yannan."

Xue Fuxiao had been keeping Sansan informed about the situation.

After learning of this, Sansan offered one-tenth to avoid conflict at this time.

A fight would disrupt Sansan's overall plan, and this place was too close to the White Cloud Continent.
