Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1457: Discovery

Knowing the location, finding it was very simple.

Unexpectedly, for just an external cave dwelling, True Monarch Jing Ling actually used a Seventh Rank Array Plate, and it was the kind of composite array.

Su Yuanyuan still took out the mirror, not to break the array, just entering wasn’t an issue.

"Mom, wait a minute, this is Sweet Scent Grass, though it’s named that way, it can confuse scents."

Su Yuanyuan understood and the whole family used it, then they entered the array together.

Perhaps True Monarch Jing Ling had too much trust in the Seventh Rank array, and this place was indeed quite hidden; if Su Yuanyuan hadn’t known the Great Elder’s inner thoughts, it wouldn’t have been possible to find it.

Inside the cave dwelling, there wasn’t any danger, but once they came in, the four family members were dumbfounded.

This was too opulent, like a palace.

How ambitious must one be? Yet the exterior decorations were all ordinary magic artifacts, of no use to their family.

"Mom, I feel disgusted after coming in."

"Then there must be something foul here. Be careful, I don’t know much about this; True Monarch Jing Ling really isn’t a good person, he even thought of contracting Qi Hao and Qi Xuan before."

Now Qi Yan and Qi Hong understood why their mother was so opposed to True Monarch Jing Ling.

"Mom, I feel it’s underground."

"We definitely need to take a look."

Qi Yan quickly found the place he felt most disgusted with.

Su Yuanyuan took out the mirror again, this place indeed had an array, a Sixth Rank Concealing Array.

Inside the array, there was a door. Tan Shaoting walked ahead and tried to push the stone door, but it wouldn’t budge.

Su Yuanyuan looked at the array on the door. "Something very powerful must be imprisoned here, everyone be careful."

This time Su Yuanyuan unlocked the array, releasing a foul stench.

The family immediately blocked their sense of smell but were still nauseated.

No one knew what was inside? Su Yuanyuan pushed open the door, the father and sons each held a Luminous Pearl.

After seeing the scene inside, Su Yuanyuan’s face turned pale.

Even the father and sons’ faces changed. They actually saw a blood pool, and nearby were many child skeletons, some not fully decomposed.

Su Yuanyuan wasn’t a soft-hearted person, but seeing such a scene brought tears to her eyes.

"This wretched thing deserves a thousand cuts. Absolutely unforgivable."

Tan Shaoting took out a Memory Stone to record it. Qi Yan directly messaged their master.

Tan Shaoting and the others didn’t have a Thousand-mile Sound Transmission Talisman, so they had to ask Wei Jian Daojun to send a message to the Xuantian Sect. Qi Hong also messaged his master.

They didn’t know what to do now; the purpose of this place is still unclear, they just had to wait for updates.

Tan Shaoting saw his wife wasn’t well and quickly led her out.

"Yuanyuan. Such a person can’t even be appeased with a thousand cuts. Don’t rush, Jing Ling has to be brought here."

Su Yuanyuan frowned, "Alright, let’s wait for news from the sect."

Actually, Su Yuanyuan now was considering going outside loudly. She believed that creature wouldn’t abandon people here, which meant they could be found out.

If discovered, he wouldn’t regard their family highly given his late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation. He would either send someone or come in person.

Staying here was really uncomfortable. The family of four still left the place.

Su Yuanyuan thought it through, waiting to hear upper-level plans. But after they left, someone noticed them.

Jing Ling Daojun received news that someone had emerged from the blood pool.

How could this be? If this news spread, he wouldn’t be able to stay in the cultivation world. He ordered that they must be followed, he intended to resolve this himself to avoid alerting the enemy.

He wasn’t far from them, quickly approaching.

The family didn’t go far, as they’d realized they were being tailed. Plans couldn’t keep up with changes; originally they wanted to wait for the sect’s decision, now they didn’t need to.

They released a Third-tier Array Plate, fearing Jing Ling would come and break through the Third-tier Array.

The four discussed quietly. After all, this wasn’t an ordinary incident.

Tan Shaoting, despite being able to kill two early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, was dealing now with Jing Ling, a legitimate disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, with systemic education, very different from loose cultivators.

If he wanted to defeat Jing Ling, the hope was indeed slim.

"Jing Ling must have cultivated some evil technique."

"I have some suppression over him, but the cultivation difference is too vast." Golden Core cultivators might have a chance, but against a Nascent Soul, it’s truly impossible.

Su Yuanyuan thought for a moment, releasing her talisman painting tools.

"I’ll try drawing a Fifth Rank Thunder Spirit Talisman. If it doesn’t work, we’ll win by numbers."

She gave the father and sons a dozen Fourth Rank Thunder Spirit Talismans each.

After her cultivation improved, she hadn’t focused on talisman drawing.

After trying out her pen a few times, gaining proficiency, she started to draw the Fifth Rank Thunder Spirit Talisman.

The first attempt failed, Su Yuanyuan thought for a moment and started again.

After three attempts, she finally drew a Fifth Rank Thunder Spirit Talisman.

She didn’t stop drawing, feeling more and more in the flow. The talisman drawing time got shorter, and the quality got higher.

She drew up to twenty, exhausting her spiritual power before stopping.

Earlier, she entered a mystical state? But there wasn’t time to sort it now. Everything had to wait until this matter was resolved.

She drank a cup of Spiritual Spring Water, holding top-grade spiritual stones to recover spiritual power. Mainly fearing Jing Ling might arrive.

It’s true, fear brings it on. Her spiritual power hadn’t recovered halfway, but Tan Shaoting already knew Jing Ling was coming.

He saw his wife’s mediation state and placed the newly drawn Thunder Spirit Talismans in four batches, giving Qi Yan and Qi Hong more.

They came out, this time to protect her.

When Jing Ling arrived and saw Tan Shaoting, he squinted, realizing it’s really not easy. This Golden Core Sixth Layer cultivator had a bone age of less than forty; if he cultivated smoothly, he’d definitely be among the top in Xuantian Sect.

This situation required killing, but because of his unique identity. His five children were all disciples of high-level cultivators, and one was a Mahayana cultivator’s disciple.

This really was troublesome. If they really killed without leaving evidence, otherwise, it would lead to endless trouble later.

Still, not killing was not an option. The blood pool event must absolutely not leak out.

So he didn’t speak, directly attacking.

Not caring about the two young ones—even if their master was Divinity Transformation, so what?

Tan Shaoting had already instructed his two sons not to act yet.

The two started fighting; Jing Ling was even more astonished. This one must die. He thought he’d swiftly kill him, but unexpectedly, he was strong?
