Scum Of The Demonic Sect

Chapter 76 The End

"Lin Haoming didn't use an escape talisman, how could he just disappear like that?" This thought instantly crossed the minds of everyone who had been chasing him. Even using an escape talisman required some time to activate.

However, everyone quickly understood. When they flew to the place where Lin Haoming disappeared, they only saw a large hole overhead; Lin Haoming had flown directly into the hole.

Seeing this, everyone immediately crawled out of the hole.

Just as everyone emerged, they saw that Lin Haoming had not continued to flee, but was instead facing them.

Hu Xiangzhen was even more surprised, discovering that this was actually the place where he had fought Fa Yuan.

But at this moment, everyone's gaze fell on Lin Haoming, because he now held a talisman in his hand.

Bloodstains, clearly Lin Haoming's recent spit-out essence blood, were now absorbed by the talisman, causing it to glow with a white light.

"Not good!"

Fakong roared upon seeing this, then, disregarding the others, was the first to dart back into the cave.

Hu Xiangzhen did the same. Seeing them flee, the others dared not linger and quickly escaped into the cave.

Meanwhile, the talisman in Lin Haoming's hand had transformed into a white crystal bead under the light. The bead shone brightly, flashing with golden light like a shrunken sun.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar followed.

Many rocks collapsed from the top of the cave under the attack of the Xuanjing Bead talisman.

The people at the cave entrance immediately dodged the falling rocks, only to discover, to their dismay, that the entrance had been blocked by a huge boulder.

Seeing this, the group didn't hesitate and immediately used their abilities to shatter the rock. However, when they returned, they found the rock was empty.

"Damn it! A mere Blood Refining Sect brat got the better of us!" Hu Xiangzhen screamed angrily, realizing she couldn't find anyone.

Fa Kong scoffed disdainfully, "Hu Xiangzhen, you're no better. If you hadn't suddenly attacked me and disrupted the situation, would he have taken the spirit stones?"

"That kid moved so fast, who knows if he'd been watching us all along? And how could an ordinary cultivator produce two talisman treasures so easily? I think that guy might be the Blood Refining Sect's real backup plan. We've been played!" Hu Xiangzhen was filled with resentment towards Lin Haoming.

"Stop trying to sow discord here. You're no better yourself. Although I don't know exactly how you managed to gather your people together, you definitely used underhanded tactics!" Fa Kong said, clearly dissatisfied with her.

"Heh! You'd better not blurt out things that the three sects' seniors didn't notice when we came in? Do you think you're superior to the three sects..."

Hu Xiangzhen retorted to Fakong's accusation, but before she could finish, she suddenly felt a pulling force enveloping her.

Not only her, but Fakong and the others felt the same way; everyone knew it was time to leave.

Meanwhile, those still fighting in the Fire Crocodile's lair far away also felt this force.

Some who were injured and fearful of their imminent demise were overjoyed, having escaped with their lives. Those who were currently riding high, preparing to kill a few more to gain more capital, felt a pang of regret.

Outside the mine.

Within a radius of several hundred feet around the teleportation array.

Suddenly, clusters of white light appeared before everyone's eyes.

The three Golden Core stage elders looked at these white lights with anticipation in their eyes.

Soon, figures emerged from the white light.

Some still held magical artifacts, some immediately took out pills and swallowed them, and others looked around at the others, seemingly searching for companions, or perhaps enemies.

"Heh heh, Madam You, it seems your Heavenly Sword Mountain has the fewest disciples this time?" When the white light faded, the withered-faced patriarch Zhuang Huai said indifferently. At this point, all the disciples combined numbered less than two hundred, indicating the heavy casualties in this spirit stone mine battle.

Madam You didn't seem to care; seeing Hu Xiangzhen appear safely, the worry in her eyes vanished.

As for Hu Xiangzhen, her bright eyes were glaring at Lin Haoming. If she weren't already outside, she would have definitely gone up and killed him.

In fact, she wasn't the only one staring at Lin Haoming; many others were looking at him, while he himself had moved to Wang Chen's side.

Wang Chen was in a bad state; not only was he pale, but he was also missing an arm, clearly a result of the final melee.

If he hadn't met Wang Chen, and if Wang Chen hadn't asked him to take over the shop, Lin Haoming wouldn't have reconnected with Xie Ruolan, and none of this subsequent events would have occurred. In fact, given the circumstances, if he had been lucky enough to escape the sect, or unlucky enough to be cornered by Situ Ping and Zhou Zhiye, his life would have been in danger.

Therefore, Lin Haoming secretly gave him a storage bag.

Wang Chen was somewhat surprised by the storage bag Lin Haoming gave him. He scanned it with his divine sense and found it was full of spirit stones.

Lin Haoming had collected dozens of storage bags, so the amount of spirit stones inside was naturally considerable.

Holding the storage bag, Wang Chen said excitedly, "Junior Brother Lin, you…"

"Senior Brother Wang, our paths have crossed. You know I have top-grade spirit stones in my possession; one of them is enough to secure my first place. These spirit stones might just let you become second!" Lin Haoming said.

Wang Chen understood Lin Haoming's meaning and replied, "Junior Brother Lin, if I have any left over after I reach Foundation Establishment, I will definitely return them to you!"

"That's easy to say!" Lin Haoming said, but he was actually quite satisfied with Wang Chen's answer, especially feeling that Wang Chen's gratitude had given him a small bit of merit.

He currently had two Foundation Establishment Pills, plus the three more awarded by the sect, making a total of five. Lin Haoming felt that this was about right, but one or two more would be even safer, and he wouldn't refuse.

"Alright, everyone come over, we'll calculate the spirit stones you've obtained!" At this moment, Zhuang Huai spoke on behalf of the three elders.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fa Yuan muttered, "What's the point of comparing? Benefactor Lin has snatched all the top-grade spirit stones he found, your Blood Refining Sect has won!"

"What? Top-grade spirit stones?" Hearing this, everyone was shocked, including the three sect elders.

Zhuang Huai was overjoyed and immediately exclaimed, "Who got the top-grade spirit stone?"

"Ancestor, it was your disciple?" Lin Haoming respectfully admitted.

"Good, very good!" Seeing someone acknowledge him, Zhuang Huai instantly appeared beside Lin Haoming.

Madam You and Wuxin exchanged a glance, then fixed their eyes on Zhuang Huai and Lin Haoming, a hint of greed in their eyes.

The moment Lin Haoming was stared at by the two, he felt as if he were frozen in place by a powerful force, his entire body struggling to breathe.
