It was not until then that Zhou Chun realized Lu Ran had never asked for the storage pouch he had collected earlier.
Among the relics on the several corpses in the underground cave hall, Lu Ran only took the storage pouch, spirit beast pouch, and magic artifacts used by the fourth protector.
The belongings of Guo Chen and Envoy Wu, however, were all collected by him.
"This is an unexpected gain!"
A flash of joy in his eyes, Zhou Chun immediately opened the storage pouches he had found on the two men and began to examine their contents.
Inside the storage pouches of the two, there were some spiritual medicines and elixirs, talismans, and other items, including several dragon blood spirit items.
The magic artifacts used by the two included two second-rank superior artifacts, one second-rank middle-grade artifact, and one second-rank inferior artifact.
All these gains together were worth almost twenty thousand spirit coins.
After obtaining this unexpected gain, Zhou Chun began to cultivate peacefully on the small island.
With the purification stone pot in his possession, as long as he didn't encounter any powerful demon beast attacks, even if he cultivated on this island for ten years, a hundred years, he wouldn't fear the invasion of evil qi at all.
The previous disappointment and concern were just to gain Lu Ran's trust.
Meanwhile, at the same time Zhou Chun and Lu Ran were asking each other questions on the small island in Dragon Abyss Marsh, the Golden Dragon Hall Master Li Tianxing, upon learning of the fourth protector's demise outside, quickly arrived at the Black Spear Tribe with the Great Protector Guan Cheng.
When the two arrived at the Black Spear Tribe, those Scale Frog Alien Clan members had long dispersed.
Though the Scale Frog Alien Clan may have a very low level of civilization, there are advantages to being primitive.
Just like now, when moving house, they could just pick up and leave, without the need to take much with them.
Hundreds of thousands of the Scale Frog Alien Clan departed within a few hours, a feat unthinkable for the Human Clan's nations!
Now, looking at the former site of the Black Spear Tribe, emptied of its frogs, Golden Core Stage Cultivator Li Tianxing simply reached out and grasped the aura left by Zhou Chun and the others from beside the largest cave.
Then he said in a deep voice, "The trail ends inside the mountain. It must be that a cave-in obstructed the dispersion of the aura, and it's likely the people are dead inside too!"
As he spoke, he opened his mouth and exhaled, a golden light surged from his mouth, following his will, and struck the cliff face.
Boom!
The earth shook and the dust flew as a section of the cliff hundreds of feet high was blasted open with a huge gap, turning one cliff face into two!
This display of mountain-shattering power in the eyes of the Great Protector Guan Cheng didn't elicit the slightest hint of surprise.
For a cultivator of the Golden Core Stage wielding a Dharma Treasure to make such a strike, if he could not do that much, it would have been rather disappointing.
Li Tianxing then raised his hand and took the Dharma Treasure that flew back from the mountain into his body, swept the area with his divine sense, furrowed his brows, and said, "The bodies inside have been destroyed. You cast a spell and see, see if there is anyone alive!"
"As you command."
Guan Cheng responded and immediately began to use a tracking secret technique to sense the presence of fellow dragon blood cultivators nearby.
After a while, he said with a puzzled look, "There really is a faint target that can be sensed, but it's located somewhere inside Dragon Abyss Marsh, and I don't know who it might be!"

"Gone into Dragon Abyss Marsh?"
Li Tianxing's eyes narrowed slightly, as he looked toward the depths of the vast waters ahead.
In the end, he shook his head lightly and said, "Forget it, it's not worth it for the sake of a mere Envoy for you and me to take risks. Let's return to the sub-temple first, then arrange for others to come over and investigate slowly!"
