Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

Before the cave abode, several Foundation Establishment cultivators bore injuries on their bodies, seemingly having engaged in battle.

Their eyes also held a flicker of lingering fear and reluctance.

However, upon emerging, they saw Zhang Haoling and the others shockingly close at hand, their hearts filled with extreme terror.

They had been constantly monitoring the outside with their Divine Sense, but they never expected Zhang Haoling to conclude the battle so swiftly and without any warning.

They wanted to offer explanations, but what greeted them was Zhang Haoling's Black Cloud Tower and Supreme Grade magical sword.

The injured cultivators had not anticipated Zhang Haoling to be so resolute. Their explanations were still brewing in their throats when they were instantly overwhelmed by the Black Cloud Tower and the Supreme Grade magical sword!

In the blink of an eye, several were slain before they could utter a word of explanation.

"Zhang Daoist friend!" many Foundation Establishment cultivators called out in question.

And Lin Shiming and Chen Xuankong remained remarkably silent.

Once a Spirit Talisman that hid Divine Sense was affixed to Zhang Haoling's body, they knew that this encounter could not end well.

"These few stealthily sought treasure, violating our alliance's creed. To use them as a warning isn't too excessive, right?" Zhang Haoling said coldly.

And the others immediately halted.

They understood that speaking out at this moment would be asking for trouble.

Those newly advanced Foundation Establishment cultivators were also digging their own graves.

Not having treasures from the Zhang Family but taking them anyway was a major taboo!

Not only would they meet their demise, but they might also bring disaster upon their clans!

No wonder the Lin Family and Chen Family didn't move or utter a word!

"Alright, esteemed ones, follow me into the cave abode to inspect our gains from this venture!"

"Uncle has previously stated, based on the efforts contributed this time, the rewards for everyone will certainly not be scarce!"

Zhang Haoling packed up the Storage Bag, glanced inside with puzzlement—the treasures within were few—but still took the lead towards the depths of the cave abode.

The fiery-red cave abode was inlaid with fiery-red stones.

These stones emitted a fervent glow, illuminating the entire cavern so brightly that it seemed as if flames were flickering.

Many Foundation Establishment clans showed signs of delight.

These fiery-red stones were no ordinary material, but Second Rank Fire Cloud Stones,

which were excellent materials for forging second-rank magical swords;

Clearly, there was a vein of Fire Cloud Stone present.

It was just unknown whether there were higher grades of Fire Cloud Crystals within the Fire Cloud Stone vein.

However, this is what typical early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators might think. For the Lin Family, Chen Family, and Zhang Family, these Fire Cloud Stones were merely somewhat valuable stones. They knew that this was the den of a Purple Mansion Great Demon, and such treasures were hardly noteworthy.

And as they ventured deeper into the cave abode, the pure Fire Attribute Spiritual Qi overwhelmed them, compelling everyone to erect a Spirit Shield to keep the heat at bay.

But this only excited them more, for a Fourth Rank Purple Mansion Great Demon's den meant numerous treasures were bound to be present.

And Lin Shiming's vigilance surged—not just him, but Chen Xuankong and other seasoned Foundation Establishment cultivators felt the same.

If Zhang Haoling intended to kill to silence them within the cave, they needed to be wary.

In the face of everyone's vigilance, Zhang Haoling said nothing, continuing to lead a few Zhang Family Foundation Establishment cultivators deeper inside.

Soon they arrived at a massive underground stone hall adorned in fiery-red.

The stone hall was even more radiant, and the fiery-red stones showed traces of flame crystals, clearly the Third Rank material Fire Cloud Crystals.

This was a treasure on par with Golden Iron Crystals—just a fist-sized piece was worth at least a thousand Spirit Stones, a cause for celebration for the major clans.

Above the stone hall was a colossal nest, evidently belonging to the Fiery Flame Griffon, that Purple Mansion Great Demon.

The surrounding Spiritual Energy also highlighted that the Spirit Vein was of a pure Fourth Rank Fire Attribute.

Such pure veins were highly likely to produce Flame Crystals.

Fourth Rank Flame Crystal materials, precious for crafting Magical Treasures, were incomparably more valuable than the Fire Cloud Crystals outside.

As everyone stepped forward, they saw that beside the griffon's nest, a large section had been abruptly dug out, leaving only a thin layer of red crystals visible.

On seeing this, how could anyone not understand what had happened!

"Seal the Formation, confine the underground!" yelled Zhang Haoling suddenly, his face extremely grim.

This freshly dug hole was undoubtedly recent.

And after checking the Storage Bag, he was certain the senseless cultivators hadn't acquired anything.

Yet, some of the other cultivators wore odd expressions.

The whole scene looked like Zhang Haoling was putting on an act.

Everyone present was accounted for, save for the few who had perished, leaving only the Zhang Family cultivators.

Lin Shiming, sharing an understanding look with Chen Xuankong, was full of questions.

Yet the Zhang Family cultivators were setting up numerous layers of Formations, encircling the griffon's den so tightly that nothing could slip through.

Not even the slightest trace of Divine Sense or footprints would be ignored by them.

"Zhang Daoist friend, has there been an unexpected development?" Chen Xuankong also spoke up.

The current Zhang Haoling was acting like a madman, bombing the cave adobe incessantly.

This act was simply too overdone!

He too sensed that something was amiss and looked again at Lin Shiming, who shook his head.

After an extended standoff, Zhang Haoling arranged for many cultivators to leave before heading further into the cave.

Now his expression grew even more troubled. He scanned the surroundings once more, before continuing to peer into the depths of the cave.

However, after surveying the area, his face remained as dark as ever.

Despite his deep scheming, the entire Fourth Rank Purple Mansion Great Demon's den offered nothing more than Second Rank Fire Cloud Stones and Third Rank Fire Cloud Crystals, with a mere handful of Spirit Plants that were also Third Rank and less than a hundred years old.
