Knowing that dealing with such geniuses couldn't be done by simply contradicting them, Young Master Wang figured out their nature and only offered suggestions, never mentioning anything else, to avoid backfiring.

Once everyone's attention was focused on him, Wang Zheng first asked Linghu Yiyun:

"Senior brother, do you have any means of communication? Could you contact some of the senior masters?"

Linghu Yiyun slowly shook his head, and then Wang Zheng asked again:

"Senior brother, how much do you know about the ruins? Are you aware of the dangers within? Do you have any special methods to deal with the divine souls of the 108 ancient ferocious beasts sealed within?"

Linghu Yiyun shook his head again.

Seeing that he was stumped by his question, Wang Zheng waved the communicator in his hand and earnestly advised him:

"We are currently too far away from the Anhui-Anhui base, and we are underground, so our signals are blocked. I have no way to contact anyone else."

"At this time, firstly, and most importantly, the appearance of any ruins is inevitably accompanied by natural disasters and man-made calamities. Although the current situation looks very good, the commotion is rather small. I feel that something is not right..."

Seeing the disdain in everyone's eyes, Wang Zheng wasn't annoyed. Instead, he calmly asked:

"Not long ago, the Yellow Sea Ruins appeared. Your sects should have obtained the ancient books seized from them. But do you know that more than two hundred demon kings and extraordinary beings died in the last time the ruins were opened?"

To put it bluntly, those demon kings who died needlessly because of greed weren't necessarily any weaker than us. They were demon kings who had withstood the might of heaven, yet they died so easily..."

By this time, someone had already realized what was happening and said to Wang Zheng:

"Does Junior Brother Wang Zheng mean we should give up exploring this ruin?"

"It's not about giving up, but about waiting, a strategic retreat. Not to mention whether the ruins are real or fake, the more important thing is that we currently have no means of contacting the outside world."

Even if you rush in and successfully obtain the benefits, what if you are trapped inside and unable to get out because you can't break through the barrier of the ruins?

Moreover, there is more than one actual passage into the ruins, and as long as we remain inactive, these passages will not disappear.

If you ask me, instead of rushing in recklessly, we should observe the situation here and send our senior brothers, who are skilled in movement techniques, back to report. We can then make a plan after the True Immortals arrive!

Wang Zheng paused at this point.

"Even if this really is the correct path to the ruins, and there is no danger along the way, I don't think there's any need for everyone to rush."

The entire Blessed Land is one family, which goes without saying. China also made a promise long ago that if the ruins are discovered, all the items taken will be jointly developed.

Anyway, this place is located in the inland of China, and no foreign supernatural forces have come here. Even if a demon king occasionally discovers it, there will only be a handful of people. It is far from the appearance of a sea demon king like the Yellow Sea Ruins. Since that's the case, why don't we be patient?

Even if you are all powerful, it's always good to have some reverence for things from ancient times. If there were any casualties, these tangible benefits wouldn't be enough to compensate for it. What do you all think, fellow disciples?

Young Master Wang's words were reasonable and measured, especially Han Xiaozi, whose face turned pale and then red, and it took him a long time to recover.

There was nothing he could do; he was anxious.

If they can truly find the legacy of the Beast Taming Sect within this, then their sect might truly have hope for a resurgence.

Others can wait patiently, but he is under a lot of pressure. As a sect that was separated from the Beast Taming Hall, even if their fundamental methods have changed, they still follow the path of body refining by unifying qi and blood.

The decision to switch to Qimen Dunjia and the Elemental Method was made only in recent decades due to pressure from the Heavenly Demon.

The Chu family's cultivation techniques are nowhere near as powerful as others. Although the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain can still be considered one of the eighteen famous sects of the Tai Xuan Division, it is now at the bottom.

If they don't make a breakthrough again, they might be kicked out of the upper sects in the next round. At that time, their status and position within the cave will plummet.

Even if he wasn't fighting for the sect right now, but just for himself, he would still be willing to take the risk.

But what Wang Zheng said does make sense. He is the only one in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. Even if Han Xiaozi wanted to go alone, he simply couldn't.

Therefore, he could only sigh silently and sit aside, sulking to himself.

Linghu Yiyun was not a stubborn person, and after hearing Wang Zheng's suggestion, he readily agreed.

"This is also the first time I've experienced something like this. I almost lost my composure in the face of such a huge temptation. It was my junior brother who was so thoughtful. I have learned a lot from you."

Wang Zheng quickly returned the courtesy politely, saying it was no need.

He was even more relieved that although these geniuses were proud, they were also able to distinguish right from wrong. If they insisted on going in, there would be nothing he could do but go back and inform them.

It wasn't that Wang Zheng was cowardly or afraid of trouble; rather, his sixth sense and experience were warning him that there was something seriously wrong with the suddenly appearing ruins...

Just as Linghu Yiyun was discussing sending someone back to report, an unexpected change occurred.

At that moment, Han Xiaozi was venting her frustrations to her friend Zhang Jun when she suddenly felt a chilly wind blowing in her face.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and in a daze, he saw a huge, transparent beast head emerge from the cave wall, its gaping maw full of fangs pressing against his head.

His pupils shrank instantly, and he screamed.

"This is... a beast soul!"

Han Xiaozi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt a chill run through his body.

Then a tremendous force struck, dragging his body far away from where he stood.

Beast Souls! They are an extremely rare and special existence, the soul incarnations of various powerful demonic beasts, and a symbol of soul power.

Unlike spiritual power, so-called soul energy cannot be specifically quantified. It is more like a combination of wills. If it cannot be completely shattered, the opponent is immortal and extremely difficult to deal with.

He had only seen such a thing in the fragments passed down in the sect, and he never expected to encounter it in the cave of this ancestral land.

With Han Xiaozi's warning, everyone perked up.

The next second, countless terrifying roars of beasts rang in everyone's ears once again, and countless transparent beast souls suddenly emerged from the stone wall that had been emitting a faint glow like white jade.

While marveling at Wang Zheng's rich experience, Linghu Yiyun was also directing everyone to retreat in formation.

At this moment, when Young Master Wang saw that his premonition had been confirmed, he was not flustered at all. Instead, he was very interested in this special existence.

However, because his combat system was incompatible with the others and he couldn't coordinate effectively, he was now being targeted for special attention and, along with Qin Yao, whose face had turned pale with fright, was being protected in the very center...
