Chapter 407 Encountering a Monk
Chapter 407 Encountering a Monk
Wu Ming naturally understood what the shadow mouse meant. It was telling him that there was a treasure ahead and urging him to hurry and get it.
Faced with Shadow Mouse's anxiety, Wu Ming just smiled slightly, gently stroked its little head, and signaled it not to be anxious.
Wu Ming was not in a hurry to take action, not because he was afraid of the more than 20 monks in front of him.
In fact, when he just arrived here, he had already realized that these people were all cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm.
Although his spiritual awareness could not be used for the time being, he had cultivated all the way from the Qi Refining Realm after all. He could see through the cultivation of these people with just one glance.
Among these twenty-plus people, the highest level of cultivation is only four cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage, and the rest are all below the late Qi Refining stage.
Even though his injuries have not yet fully recovered, the combined strength of all the people here cannot pose any threat to him.
"Fellow Daoist You, although you have a high level of cultivation, you shouldn't be bullying others and taking advantage of them!
Our Zhang family is a well-known cultivation family in Wuding County, and we even have an elder in the Foundation Establishment Realm in charge of the family.
Fellow Daoist You, please don't sacrifice your life for this insignificant little gain!"
The white-haired old man's face darkened slightly, and his tone revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and displeasure.
The white-haired old man revealed his background because he actually wanted Wu Ming to know that they were not ordinary cultivators without any background.
After all, in this world where the strong prey on the weak, background often means strength and resources.
However, the white-haired old man was a little surprised, because he found that Wu Ming did not show any fear after hearing his background, but seemed quite calm.
This made the white-haired old man curious about Wu Ming's identity, and he secretly wondered in his heart whether this man was a cultivator from a big sect!
Thinking of this possibility, the white-haired old man became even more worried.
When he saw Wu Ming directly reveal their purpose as soon as he opened his mouth, he thought to himself that something was wrong. He knew that the other party was obviously well prepared.
But he didn't dare to drive Wu Ming away directly. After all, the other party must have certain abilities and background to be able to find this place so accurately.
Wu Ming smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned with the white-haired old man's words. He said slowly:
"As the saying goes, an opportunity without an owner is naturally for everyone who sees it. Since I know about this opportunity, I naturally want to get a piece of it. Are you, fellow Daoists, going to forcibly expel me?"
Hearing that Wu Ming seemed to be indifferent to the threats from these people, the white-haired old man knew that his guess was almost right.
Therefore, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and try to keep his tone calm, saying: "Haha, Daoist friend, you are wrong. We have no intention of driving others away, please don't misunderstand!"
"So that's how it is. I thought you fellow Taoists were going to attack me." Wu Ming said with some concern.
After hearing Wu Ming's words, the monks present breathed a sigh of relief.
They were originally worried that Wu Ming would rely on his own strength to forcibly monopolize this opportunity, but now it seems that Wu Ming has no such intention.
After learning that they still had a chance to get a piece of the pie, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the white-haired old man's face.
His tone also became gentle, as if he was talking to an old friend, and he slowly said: "Fellow Daoist You, you are too serious. We are certainly not the kind of people who are overbearing.
Since Fellow Daoist You has learned of this opportunity, then naturally you should also share in it. How about we break the formation together and then rely on our own abilities once we enter the cave?"
After hearing the words of the white-haired old man, Wu Ming felt a little relieved.
He laughed heartily and responded cheerfully, "Then just follow what you said. I wonder if you have any ideas on how to unlock this cave?"
The people in the field did not express much objection to Wu Ming's joining. After all, one more person means more strength.
So, the white-haired old man briefly introduced their current situation to Wu Ming.
It turned out that they had just arrived here for less than a day and had tried several times to break the formation here, but had failed.
Now, they are having two formation masters responsible for organizing other cultivators to attack, while also looking for flaws in the formation here.
During the conversation, Wu Ming gained a deeper understanding of the monks present.
The group of the white-haired old man consisted of six people. They came from the Zhang family, a cultivation family in Wuding County.
This white-haired old man is the elder of the Zhang family. He is also a beginner formation master with the cultivation level of the late Qi Refining stage.
The other force opposing the Zhang family is the Sun family, another cultivation family in Wuding County.
There are five people in the Sun family, and the leader is also an old man in the late Qi Refining stage. There is also a formation master in their family.
However, there was another force that caught Wu Ming's attention.
This is a group of independent cultivators, with the largest number being thirteen.
Originally, the Zhang and Sun families would never cooperate with a group of independent cultivators.
But since this cave was actually first discovered by this group of wandering cultivators, the Zhang and Sun families were just latecomers.
In addition, there are two cultivators in the late Qi Refining Realm among this group of casual cultivators, and their strength should not be underestimated, so they have to cooperate with this group of casual cultivators.
Among this group of casual cultivators, except for the two leading cultivators who have reached the late stage of Qi Refining, the cultivation levels of the others are uneven, ranging from the early to middle stages of Qi Refining. This is also the norm for casual cultivators.
Unlike cultivators from other forces, they must have at least the strength of the middle stage of Qi Refining Realm before being allowed to go out for training.
Looking at this group of people wandering around the cave like headless flies, they still have no idea how to crack the cave.
Wu Ming was secretly anxious. He didn't want to waste too much time here.
Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and decided to take the initiative to step forward and said to the two formation masters who were discussing, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, Fellow Daoist Sun, don't you notice that the fluctuations in the northeast corner of this formation are a bit unusual?"
The two formation masters were concentrating on commanding everyone to attack the formation. Suddenly, they heard someone giving orders to their orders, and they couldn't help feeling a little angry.
However, when they turned around and saw that the person who spoke was You Riyue, the anger in their hearts was immediately suppressed.
After all, You Riyue's strength is superior to theirs, and his opinions must not be ignored.
Therefore, although the two formation masters were slightly dissatisfied in their hearts, they still forced themselves to scan their spiritual consciousness towards the location Wu Ming mentioned.
Sure enough, they immediately discovered that the fluctuations in the northeast corner were indeed different from other places.
