I am really not a medical immortal.-Chapter 1661 - 1660: The Figure in the Shadows (Third Update!)

The moment the whole White Jade Small Sword appeared, a tremendous oppressive force emanated from it, causing the space to rupture under its massive pressure, unable to endure the inadvertent energy fluctuations it emitted.

Furthermore, given Zhang Xiaohao’s current cultivation, he was not yet at the Divinity Transformation Realm and was unable to wield it!

Unless relying on one’s royal bloodline talent, there’s absolutely no possibility; additionally, even if he used the Xuantian Jiao Sword through the king’s bloodline, it can only be utilized three times! After those three times, using the Xuantian Jiao Sword again would lead to severe damage, so Zhang Xiaohao wouldn’t use those precious opportunities unless absolutely necessary.

Anyhow, it’s just digging a cave, if using such a precious opportunity recklessly, then it’s better to directly wield the Xuantian Jiao Sword to slay the three-headed Monster Fish Demon Beast, saving all the trouble.

This time, Zhang Xiaohao isn’t unleashing the might of the Xuantian Jiao Sword, but borrowing its sharpness, so however Zhang Xiaohao uses it, it won’t cause fundamental harm, nor will it deplete the limited precious uses.

Right then, Zhang Xiaohao flicked his right hand, and the Xuantian Jiao Sword in his hand flickered and changed to three feet in size.

With a motion of his palm, Zhang Xiaohao gently sliced the ground with the Xuantian Jiao Sword, easily cutting out a massive opening; the whole process was effortless as slicing tofu, without expending any effort.

"Collect the soil properly! You two, stay put right here." The first part of Zhang Xiaohao’s sentence was directed to Zha Muzhen, while the latter part was ordered to Ye Qingqing and Saintess Ye.

"Yes, sir!" Zha Muzhen responded.

Ye Qingqing and Saintess Ye didn’t dare to object; they were now prisoners, and if they dared to move, Zhang Xiaohao could kill them with a single thought, causing their souls to scatter.

As Zhang Xiaohao excavated the cave, under the terrifying strength of his Physical Body added by the support of the Xuantian Jiao Sword, a top ten treasure on the Chaos Spirit List, inherently carrying the laws of one world, the whole process was incredibly easy, simpler than drinking water.

What Zha Muzhen had to do was follow behind Zhang Xiaohao, collecting all the soil he excavated. Luckily, he had countless storage bags, numbering between three thousand and five thousand, all harvested from slaying the strong foes of the Yaksha Clan upon entering the Ancient Battlefield.

Gradually, a huge cave appeared before them as Zhang Xiaohao dug.

A quarter of an hour later.

Holding the Xuantian Jiao Sword, Zhang Xiaohao stopped his hand’s movement.

"Sir, what’s the matter? Why did you stop?" Zha Muzhen asked puzzled.

"The current cave is about a hundred yards deep and over three hundred yards long; according to my estimates, it’s reached near the lake! Just a small move can get us into the cold pool! Now, we need to conceal our presence to avoid being found by that three-headed monster in the lake!" Zhang Xiaohao explained.

"Yes, sir!" Zha Muzhen responded.

He slapped his waist’s storage bag and took out two deep purple Spirit Talismans, handing one over.

"Sir, this is the Taiching Purple Spirit Talisman, specifically used for concealment! Once used, we blend with the surrounding airflow, and even old monsters from the same realm wouldn’t be able to detect us!" Zha Muzhen explained.

"Mm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

Receiving the Taiching Purple Spirit Talisman, he adhered it onto himself, instantly enveloping in a purple glow, covering him; though he seemed unchanged, he subtly fused with the surrounding air.

Zha Muzhen did not dare to delay, immediately sticking the Taiching Purple Spirit Talisman onto himself.

"Sir, can we move now?" Zha Muzhen asked.

"Mm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded, about to break open the last layer of soil blocking the way, wielding the Xuantian Jiao Sword.

At this moment, under Zhang Xiaohao’s investigation through the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye, another group on the lake’s opposite underground was frantically excavating the underground space. The digger was a monster beast resembling an armadillo, with a sizable Physical Body and rapid claws. However, their surrounding ground was quickly excavated.

"Sir, why did we stop?" Zha Muzhen asked puzzled.

"Interesting! Someone is trying to profit like a fisherman’s catch! Opposite, a group should be from the Yaksha Clan! They’re rapidly digging through the help of a monster beast! There are around a hundred people, wearing the Yaksha Clan’s armored guards, with the highest cultivation at late-stage Divinity Transformation, and the weakest at early-stage Divinity Transformation! It seems we have quite a fate with the Yaksha Clan!" Zhang Xiaohao squinted as he spoke.

"Sir, what should we do now?" Zha Muzhen communicated through Divine Thought.

"Haha! They wish to reap fisherman’s benefit? I’ll make sure they don’t succeed! Dare to target us, and I’ll have them buried without graves! Moreover, we’re already at the lake, so if we don’t check the benefits of this lake, wouldn’t it be a wasted trip?" Zhang Xiaohao smirked coldly.

"Indeed! A small Yaksha Clan dares intercept the Taozi of our Spirit Clan, truly deserving to die!" Zha Muzhen claimed.

With that, Zhang Xiaohao sent his command through Divine Thought, strengthened by the Three Pure Ones Scripture, conveying his orders to the Water Blue Flower Fairy.

Upon receiving Zhang Xiaohao’s command amidst battling the Three-headed Monster Fish, the Water Blue Flower Fairy immediately ordered: "Everyone retreat!!!"

As she spoke, the group together fiercely launched attacks at the Three-headed Monster Fish, using the opportunity to retreat backward.

Soon after, the Water Blue Flower Fairy and others retreated from the Three-headed Monster Fish’s attack range, standing at the edge of the green area.

"Why did we retreat, Hua Xian sir?" A Perfect God Transformation aged monster asked disbelievingly.

"The sir commands us to await orders here! Also, some audacious Yaksha Clan rodents aim to fetch a fisherman’s advantage, picking our Taozi! Haha, do they truly think we, Spirit Clan people, are idiots?" Water Blue Flower Fairy sneered.

A group of Perfect God Transformation aged monsters coldly eyed Ye Qingqing and Saintess Ye. Seeing the gazes, they could only lower their heads; they were truly uninvolved!

Underneath.

After sending a transmission to Water Blue Flower Fairy, Zhang Xiaohao recalled his Divine Thought, observing through the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye, the Three-headed Monster Fish also returned to the lake, lying at the lake’s bottom.
