Chapter 285 Trap and Kill
The group followed Kongming through the dense forest, where the trees blocked out the sun, and sunlight could only filter through the layers of branches and leaves to cast dappled shadows.
Along the way, they also encountered several waves of Rakshasa patrols, but most of them were led by two or three fourth-level Rakshasa and a group of third-level Rakshasa.
As soon as these Rakshasa appeared, before Kongming could even make a move, the members of the three great families, like sharks smelling blood, rushed to lock onto their targets.
Kongming ignored this.
While the fragments of laws within a fourth-order Rakshasa's body are of exceptionally high quality, there are still quite a few of them within this training ground.
Most importantly, Kongming did not want to reveal too much of his true nature for the sake of these fragments of laws.
Several hours passed, but there was still no sign of the Flower Tomb.
Sima Kun gazed at the endless valley before him, his face growing increasingly grim. Finally, he couldn't help but speak, his tone clearly questioning, "Why haven't we arrived yet? Are you sure you haven't led us astray?"
"Hey... why are you asking so many questions, old man? Are you afraid my brother will sell you out?" Zhu Ganglie, seeing Kongming sitting on equal footing with these Nascent Soul experts, immediately became tough and retorted.
"Hmph! You ant-like creature, how dare you speak to me like that!"
Sima Kun's eyes widened in fury, and the terrifying pressure of the Nascent Soul stage pressed down on Zhu Ganglie like a tidal wave.
Zhu Ganglie, who was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, turned deathly pale under this oppressive force.
Seeing this, Kongming waved his hand, and a gravitational light shield protected Zhu Ganglie within it.
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips as he stared directly at Sima Kun and said, "Senior Sima, what a display of power! To actually bully a mere Foundation Establishment follower like me, is this the demeanor of a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
"Zhuge Liang, you'd better keep your followers in check. If they dare to contradict you again, I'll kill them with one blow!" Sima Kun said sinisterly, his voice like a cold snake, winding its way into everyone's ears.
"Hahaha, it seems you're used to being domineering. This isn't the place for you to show off!" Kongming was not afraid at all. His laughter stopped abruptly, and he stared at Sima Kun with piercing eyes, responding sharply.
Sima Kun trembled with rage, veins bulging on his forehead, and roared, "You audacious madman, don't think I dare not kill you! The power and resources of my Sima family are beyond your comprehension..."
Just as tensions were about to rise, Xuanyuan Ba suddenly stepped between the two, his gaze sharp as an eagle, scanning back and forth between Sima Kun and Kongming.
"Sima Kun, are you perhaps planning to skip the upcoming trip to the Flower Tomb?"
Xuanyuan Ba's words carried an undisguised threat. Now that there was progress in Huazhong, how could he let the cooked duck fly away!
Then, he looked at Kongming and asked, "Young friend Zhuge, why is there still no sign of the Flower Tomb?"
"Senior Xuanyuan, you may not know this, but this ancient Xuan Dao field is extraordinary. The scenery within it changes position at any time according to the Qimen Bagua formation. Fortunately, I left something inside, and I need to carefully sense it to determine its location!"
Kongming's expression hardened, but he calmly replied.
However, what he said was only half true and half false.
This flower mound is extremely well hidden. If it weren't for the gilded cauldron's sensing ability, we really wouldn't have been able to find its exact location.
Now, although he knows his position, he deliberately delays, his purpose being to wait for the being inside the jade coffin to fully awaken, so as to give these old guys a big surprise...
Seeing Kongming's words, the group temporarily suppressed their doubts. After all, Gu Xuan was a great deity, and his Daoist temple was mysterious and unpredictable, which seemed reasonable.
Three more days passed, and Kongming frowned slightly as he gazed at the flower mound hidden behind layers of mist, its outline barely visible.
A large number of Rakshasa were still lingering around the flower mound, appearing highly vigilant, indicating that the flower demon had not yet awakened.
At this moment, the members of the three ancient families looked at the flower mound that was so close by, their eyes flashing with an uncontrollable greed.
Xuanyuan Ba made the first move, waving his hands fiercely, and a beam of light shot out from his sleeves, slashing towards the guardian Rakshasa.
Seeing this, Sima Kun could not restrain himself. With lightning speed, he summoned the Sima Beast Cauldron and fled towards the flower mound.
Ji Rong was the only Nascent Soul cultivator on the Ji family's side. Although he looked fearful, he gritted his teeth, summoned the Soul Suppressing Tower, and followed after them, thinking of the opportunities inside the Flower Tomb.
However, Kongming stood still and did not move an inch...
