Miles deep with the Liang Tribe compound.
In this area, not many Liang Tribe members linger about. Even for all the haughtiness and arrogance almost every tribe member had, they clearly knew when something was forbidden to go to.
This forbidden off-limit area only had one pavilion building. And in front of the Pavilion, three late ranks Nascent Formation members stood guard.
The Pavilion didn't have any grand design, nor could anyone sense a special kind of energy if they simply walked by it.
On the surface, this Pavilion seemed a bit ordinary.
However, this Pavilion contained the greatest treasure of the Liang Tribe. A treasure that had tremendously helped their entire Tribe achieve the level of prowess that frightened most of the Tribal Domain.
To even reach this area requires going throw hundreds of other powerful Nascent Formations Masters.
And by then, even if one can get through them, they would then have to deal with the legendary Profound Soul experts.
All in all, this area could be considered impossible for any outsider or other Liang Tribe member to get into.
However, nothing in reality, is ever absolute.
At this very moment, unaware by all in the Liang Tribe member, a tremendous event was about to occur.
….
Within the tightly guarded Pavilion was a well-kept room holding only one object. The room barely has anyone going into it, yet the air here was of a quality most cultivators would bask in.
In one moment, the room continued to have endless silence.
Then in the very next moment, a bright green flash engulfed the entire room!
'Chi!'
Two youths appeared within the green flash.
Then after only a brief moment, the green flash cleared away, revealing Cain and Kali. Immediately the sibling duo glanced all around, wanting to get a clear bearing of their surroundings.
At first look over, the sibling duo didn't spot anything particular of notice. There were a few unique-looking art designs etched on the wall, but that was far as that went.
It wasn't until Cain and Kali slowly spread their Spirit Senses out, did they promptly detected precisely what they came for.
"Mn….there it is." Kali pointed as she and Cain's eyes landed on a pedestal at the center of the room.
Upon that pedestal was a lone light blue key. Running along the surface of the Key were mysterious patterns neither Cain nor Kali could ever hope to recognize.
But most importantly of all, the Key was naturally emitting this fantastical energy that was affecting the whole atmosphere.
This energy was none other than Spirit Energy!
Increasing fervent excitement ignited within both Cain and Kali's eyes. With this, they'll at least have a lead to becoming World Spirit Force Masters.
Even if that magical cave doesn't exist, the fact that the Key is naturally exuding Spirit Energy means it has profound origins.
"Mnh, you know Cain, just outside this room are several powerful guards. One small wrong move, and who knows? They might get set off." Kali had a hushed tone while talking.
Although her quietness couldn't suppress her evident eagerness. Instead of being worry about getting caught, it was like she wanted them to get alerted so they could fight.
'In fact, that's probably exactly what's she thinking off.' Cain just shook his head a bit at this thought.
Because they were doing this with the utmost caution, neither he nor Kali took any reckless steps forward.
Both of them were sweeping their Spirit Sense to every small corner of the room. At any slight sign of threat or danger, they'll deal with it accordingly.
This is why Cain told Kali, "Even if we do fight, once our backs get corner, we'll teleporting out of here. I'll admit this, the Liang Tribe aren't arrogant for no reason."
From sensing the high numbers of powerful Nascent Formations masters just miles away from them, Cain could start to see the basis for their unruly attitude.
Just from a mere sweep over of his Choas Soul Sense, Cain could perceive the Liang Tribe is indeed at a higher overall prowess than the Kong Clan.
If left alone, they probably would win this war, eventually going on to sallow the whole Tribal Domain.
But with his and Kali's current interference, Cain kind of wonders how will this majorly affect them. Although his thoughts didn't go too deeply beyond the surface level. In any case, the aftermath wasn't his nor Kali's priorities.
After a couple of minutes of sweeping over the whole room, Kali crossed her arms as she said, "Sensing nothing over here, Cain. What about your soul?"
Cain closed his eyes for a moment. He put forth all of his focus at that moment, turning over every spot in that room with his senses.
However, still, no sense of threat jumped out to him.
Opening his eyes back, he confidently said, "Still nothing over here. Alright, let's get this Key."
At his words, Cain and Kali strolled up to the key pedestal. Even at up close, neither of them perceived any danger.
So with his guard still up and confidence running high, Cain reached up to grab the Key. Like it was just an ordinary object, he grasps the Key without any problem.
Cain's smile began to broaden, and elation quickly bubbled inside Kali.
But, right at that moment, Cain's smile froze.
Completely out of nowhere, his danger instincts screamed at him to get out of there. It felt like he was being faced in front of a speeding train that had no intentions of slowing down.
The danger was evident, and Cain wanted to teleport out of there now!
However, before he could attempt to do so, a pulse of Spirit Energy rippled out of the light blue Key!
Caught entirely off guard, the pulse of Spirit Energy managed to briefly stun both Cain and Kali. The sibling duo's bodies went fully rigid as if they were struck by powerful lightning.
Spirit Energy wasn't anything like Qi!
They didn't know how to accurately describe what they were feeling, but the sensations was utterly foreign.
At that moment, they naturally had no way to gather any energy to protect themselves, causing them to get briefly stunned.
And in the very instance, they were stunned, the pulse of Spirit Energy streamed out of the Pavilion!
'Bang!'
The door to the Pavilion instantly burst open!
"What the hell?!? Who?!?"
Three Liang Tribe guards instantly rushed inside. Their swords were already drawn, pointing it straight at Cain and Kali.
But though each of them was ready for combat, apparent confusion swelled within their eyes. None of them could even begin to understand what was going on.
At the same the Liang Tribe guards were confused; Cain and Kali instantly snapped out of their stunned state.
The Spirit Energy was only stunning for how sudden and foreign it felt for the sibling duo. Immediately afterward, their Nascent Qi adjusted to Spirit Energy and automatically dispersed its stunning effects.
And though they were back to reality, Cain and Kali were obviously not happy. In fact, they were quite annoyed.
How could they so easily fall prey to a trick like that after taking so many precautions?!
Cain and Kali were a bit unwilling to admit that Spirit Energy could be caught them off guard so badly. With all of their abilities, they should've been able to catch this.
For Kali, this bout of annoyance lasted for only a moment. Because immediately the next moment, frustration morphed into eagerness.
"Two seventh level and one-eighth level! At least this lineup is decent enough." Since things suddenly developed to this point, Kali saw no reason why they shouldn't fight it out a little bit.
The pressure of the Liang Tribe guards was considerable but not anything impossible to go against.
Without even needing to speak, Cain understood Kali's intentions.
Then, in a decisive move, Cain took the spirit key into his pocket, flashing it into his spatial ring. He declined to take out his emerald yet, unable to suppress his growing will to fight.
However, the instant Cain took away the spirit key, the three Liang Tribe guards became furiously enraged.
"You!! I don't care how this happening; you two must die!!" The eight-level guard furiously bellowed out.
'Hua~!'
And at his orders, he and the other seventh-level guards unleashed their full powers! Their silver swords were engulfed in harsh dark blue energy as their powerful auras cut through the air.
Their swords howled with power, causing spiderweb-like cracks to form beneath and shattering some of the walls and floors to powder.
Wanting to kill Cain and Kali in a single strike, the three guards slashed down with all of their might!
In the face of their combined attack, Cain and Kali became solemn. They quickly unleashed their Draconic Aura states, pushing forth all of their strength!
Draconic Lightning shrouded Cain's body, and Draconic Ice engulfed Kali's.
At their full strength, their Draconic Aura directly clashed against the combined might of three late ranks Nascent Formation Masters. The clash of two forces of mighty auras caused the wind to turn into a stormy vortex, briefly surprising the Liang Tribe guards.
Then, without any fear at all, Cain and Kali swung their elemental fists straight at the three Liang Tribe guard's swords!
'Bang!!'
An terrifying deafening explosion engulfed the entire Pavilion. Lightning and Ice energy sprayed every like energy droplets, shooting out of the Pavilion, crashing into nearby buildings and grounds.
The Pavilion's floor cracked open like a fissure, and the whole building nearly turned into dust from the violent impact.
Out from one end of the terrifying shockwave, Cain and Kali were sent flying, crashing right through the Pavilion's ruined wall.
Before they soared too far, the sibling duo forcefully suppressed their tumbling blood, dragged their feet through the ground, stopping just 30 feet away.
Cain and Kali felt chaotic energy roil their internal bodies, causing slight minor injuries.
For a Nascent Formation master, this could potentially damper their combat prowess.
But Cain and Kali only gained battle-hungry smiles.
On the other side of the shockwave, the three Nascent guards were similarly sent sailing through the walls.
They only flew twenty feet back before stopping themselves and suppressing the invading energy in them.
The injuries they received weren't worth noting. But their faces were still filled with incomparable shock.
In that last collision, they could clearly sense Cain and Kali's strength. To be able to directly clash with them, realistically, their strength should at least be at the eighth level.
But against all expectations, this pair of youth was only at the third level of the Nascent Formation realm!
