Here lies a vast Mountain Valley, within which stands a massive cave. A fierce and scorching aura emanates from the cave, seemingly telling the world that an extraordinary ferocious beast lies dormant within.
At this moment, the area outside the cave is filled with figures, most of whom are below Innate Fivefold. They stand distinctly apart, indicating that they come from different factions.
However, as everyone gazes into the pitch-black cave, their eyes reveal a mix of intense greed and a hint of trepidation.
Amidst the crowd are Aotian, Xiao Ya, and Wang Shuiqun, who are noticeably standing closer together, as if to announce to those around them:
We three are part of the same group.
“That cave is the lair of the Fire Spirit Lion, and the Mystic Spirit Fruit is located within,” Wang Shuiqun eagerly introduced to Aotian and Xiao Ya.
Aotian nodded and scanned the surroundings, a hint of seriousness appearing in his eyes.
The martial artists around them were primarily from the Adventure Team in Mystic Spirit Town, along with some smaller family factions. Their goal was evidently the same as theirs: to obtain the Mystic Spirit Fruit!
Xiao Ya also looked around and whispered:
“It seems there are no Innate Nine Levels martial artists here.”
Upon hearing this, Aotian couldn't help but feel a slight joy. If there truly were no Innate Nine Levels martial artists present, then with Xiao Ya's strength, even if she couldn't take away the Mystic Spirit Fruit, she would have no trouble protecting herself.
“The Mystic Spirit Fruit holds great allure for ordinary Innate Martial Artists, but its usefulness to Innate Nine Levels martial artists is minimal. It seems those martial artists disdain competing for this Mystic Spirit Fruit,” Wang Shuiqun said thoughtfully.
“Let’s hope so…”
Just as Aotian was about to say something, a powerful aura suddenly surged from a certain direction, causing everyone to be slightly startled.
A middle-aged man arrogantly pushed through the crowd with a group of people, occupying a very prominent position among them.
Aotian couldn't help but glance over, and when he saw the newcomers, he was momentarily taken aback.
The group that suddenly appeared consisted of about ten people, with the middle-aged man exuding an imposing aura leading the way.
To Aotian's surprise, Qiu Wenxuan, who had some past grievances with him in the trading area, was standing next to the middle-aged man.
"That group is made up of members from the Skeleton Adventure Team. The Skeleton Adventure Team is not only the most formidable Adventure Team in Mystic Spirit Town, but even in the vast Fengyun Nation, few Adventure Teams can compete with them," Wang Shuiqun said, pointing at the Adventure Team where Qiu Wenxuan was located.
Aotian narrowed his eyes, a hint of seriousness in them as he asked, "Is that middle-aged man leading them the captain of the Skeleton Adventure Team?"
"Not quite. The captain of the Skeleton Adventure Team is a martial artist at the Half-Step Human Spirit Realm, while this middle-aged man is their Vice Captain, Lu Hongming," Wang Shuiqun replied.
Hearing Wang Shuiqun's words, Aotian let out a quiet sigh of relief.
As long as it wasn't the captain of the Skeleton Adventure Team present, the threat to Aotian and his companions would be significantly reduced. After all, even Xiao Ya would struggle against a martial artist at the Half-Step Human Spirit level.
"From his aura, he should be an Innate Eightfold martial artist, or perhaps even someone who has one foot in the Innate Nine Levels. Although he hasn't truly become an Innate Nine Levels martial artist yet, we can't underestimate him; he might have some hidden tricks up his sleeve," Xiao Ya said with a serious tone.
Aotian nodded in understanding. Being half a step into Innate Nine Levels meant that even if he was not as strong as Xiao Ya, he was still quite formidable.
As for Aotian himself, at that moment he felt no confidence in being able to defeat a martial artist of that caliber. Of course, if pushed to his limits, it was hard to say what methods he might resort to.
"This area is reserved for our Skeleton Adventure Team. All irrelevant individuals should leave immediately!"
As everyone was discussing the appearance of the Skeleton Adventure Team, the Vice Captain Lu Hongming suddenly shouted.
"Damn, this is too arrogant, isn't it?!"
"Exactly, with so many of us, can we really not take down a single Skeleton Adventure Team?!"
"Yeah, and there’s a Fire Spirit Lion in the cave. With Lu Hongming's strength, going over there would just be asking for death!"
"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. After all, they have a Half-Step Human Spirit Realm captain. Perhaps the captain of the Skeleton Adventure Team is hiding nearby..."
Upon hearing the words "Skeleton Adventure Team captain," the surroundings fell noticeably silent. Clearly, this name carried significant intimidation.
"Haha, the Skeleton Adventure Team is truly getting more and more arrogant. Since that's the case, my three brothers and I will have to meet them!"
At that moment, a voice rolled in from afar, showing no hint of fear towards the Skeleton Adventure Team.
As soon as the voice fell, three middle-aged men appeared like phantoms in the crowd, positioning themselves directly opposite the members of the Skeleton Adventure Team.
These three middle-aged men bore a striking resemblance to one another, almost like identical triplets.
"They seem to be... the Xiao Brothers?!" Wang Shuiqun pondered for a moment before speaking with a hint of astonishment.
"The Xiao Brothers?!" Aotian and Xiao Ya looked at Wang Shuiqun with confusion.
Wang Shuiqun explained to Aotian and Xiao Ya:
"The Xiao Brothers are three identical siblings: the eldest Xiao Qingfeng, the second Xiao Lengyue, and the third brother Xiao Yanyang. All three are Innate Eightfold martial artists and have not joined any faction. However, when they work together, they can contend with some Innate Nine Levels martial artists. They are quite well-known in Mystic Spirit Town."
"Oh?"
Both Aotian and Xiao Ya showed surprise in their eyes. No wonder these three had little respect for the Skeleton Adventure Team; it turned out they had some strength.
When Lu Hongming saw the Xiao Brothers, his brows furrowed tightly, and a hint of apprehension appeared in his eyes as he said, "Xiao Brothers, what do you mean by that? Are you provoking our Skeleton Adventure Team?!"
"Haha, Lu Hongming, even if we are provoking you, what can you do about it? Don't forget that your captain isn't here today. Even if he were, my brothers and I wouldn't be afraid!" the eldest brother, Xiao Qingfeng, laughed.
Upon hearing Xiao Qingfeng's words, many martial artists around began to stir restlessly. These individuals primarily feared the captain of the Skeleton Adventure Team; however, now that they heard Xiao Qingfeng say that the captain seemed to be absent, it couldn't help but make them think twice.
"Xiao Qingfeng, it seems you've already forgotten about our Skeleton Adventure Team's capabilities?!"
A hint of murderous intent flickered in Lu Hongming's eyes, and his expression looked somewhat ferocious.
"Tch, your Skeleton Adventure Team does have some reputation among the Adventure Teams in Fengyun Nation, but you're not invincible. As for Mystic Spirit Town, your captain probably wouldn't dare to claim he could sweep away all the forces there," Xiao Lengyue from the Xiao Brothers spoke up.
Lu Hongming's face turned somewhat ugly; clearly, in Mystic Spirit Town, the Skeleton Adventure Team was not the only dominant force.
"Hmph, what are you three brothers doing here? As far as I know, Mystic Spirit Fruit is of no use to you," Lu Hongming suddenly said, subtly shifting the topic.
The youngest of the three brothers, Xiao Yanyang, replied:
"Our purpose is none of your business, is it?"
"You..."
Standing next to Lu Hongming, Qiu Wenxuan felt a surge of anger after hearing Xiao Yanyang's words.
Lu Hongming quickly grabbed the impulsive Qiu Wenxuan and gave him a knowing glance, then addressed the Xiao Brothers:
"Regardless of why you are here, we all share the same goal for now: to defeat that Fire Spirit Lion, right?"
Upon hearing Lu Hongming's words, the previously noisy Mountain Valley fell silent.
Aotian also understood that the main event was about to begin...
