"It will take at least ten days!"

"What?"

The Qian family patriarch glared at him.

Ten days?

Although this ruin is rich in spiritual energy and more suitable for cultivation than their family's treasure land, it is also crowded with people and various forces.

If it delays for ten days...

Besides their Duobao clan, there will likely be many other forces, and the number of martial artists within them could even be in the tens of thousands!

Even the Hidden World Alliance couldn't control them.

What if the treasure is stolen by someone else?

The Qian family patriarch, dressed in a brocade robe and exuding an extraordinary air, stared intently at the person who spoke.

"Luo Xingzu, you are the most skilled martial artist in formations among the three families of Duobao. Can't you even open this broken door?"

Faced with the questioning of the Qian family patriarch.

Luo Xingzu shook his head helplessly.

"Mr. Qian, don't joke with me. You've already witnessed the capabilities of the Luo family on the way here, haven't you?"

"But this is a forbidden area of ​​an ancient immortal sect!"

"It's not that easy to crack."

Luo Xingzu was quite confident about breaking the formation, after all, each member of the Duobao clan had the ability to find treasures.

The Qian family was skilled at sensing the location of treasures.

The Luo family is skilled at breaking various restrictions within ruins.

The Hu family, on the other hand, is better at direct combat.

The three families joined forces to establish a reputation no less prestigious than that of the imperial bloodline clans, and they also had a great understanding with each other.

But this time, the Qian family patriarch was truly anxious.

"Young Luo, think of something. Ten days is too long. Hurry up!"

"At most, I can reduce it to seven days. I also need to inform the family patriarch and ask him to be an advisor and give me some guidance!"

That was all Luo Xingzu could say.

The Qian family members were speechless.

Hu Suowei, the head of the Hu family, shook his head repeatedly.

"I never thought you, Luo Xingzu, would have this day. It seems that the restrictions of this ancient immortal sect are indeed troublesome."

They felt that their family's skills were being looked down upon.

Luo Xingzu was clearly somewhat dissatisfied.

He sneered and said, "There's nothing I can do if you're impatient. You'll just have to wait here."

However, judging from the expressions of the other two families...

He quickly added, "There's no need to worry too much. It's only seven days. Our Luo family has already set up an illusion array on the mountainside. Anyone who steps into it will get lost in it."

"Even if the news leaks out and more martial artists rush into the ruins, they will still be blocked by my illusion array in the end!"

The other two groups looked at each other in bewilderment.

They could only rely on Luo Xingzu's abilities.

On the other side.

Lin Jinglong and his group had arrived below the sea of ​​clouds. He stood in a bamboo forest and looked up, only to see a single stone staircase.

And even the end point at the summit!

"Brother Jinglong, come quickly! I can sense a lot of people outside the door. They'll be coming in soon!"

The tragic voice of the last sect leader came from within the jade slip.

Lin Jinglong said helplessly, "Didn't you say that even if they entered your territory, they couldn't touch you?"

"That's true, but I'm also afraid they'll get angry and hurt me."

The little girl's voice became increasingly pitiful.

Lin Jinglong shook his head and ended the call.

His gaze fell on the steps ahead, above which lay a sea of ​​clouds, and within that sea of ​​clouds, there seemed to be something else.

"Someone has set a trap inside; it won't be easy to cross this hundred-foot staircase."

Lin Jinglong thought to himself.

Just then, the sounds of fighting reached my ears.

Several elderly men and a young man were seen locked in a standoff in the bamboo grove nearby.

Situ Xue said urgently, "It's Elder Li!"

Lin Jinglong took a few steps forward.

In front of Li Changkong and Liu Li stood Lin Xiongyi, covered in blood, staring in shock and anger at Lin Jinglong and the others who had rushed over.

He had two helpers by his side.

"Cao Tianchun?"

Lin Jinglong raised an eyebrow.

He didn't expect to run into the head of the Enforcement Hall of the Divine Pill Sect here, who was also looking at Lin Jinglong with a wary expression.

And the old man beside him.

He stood beside Lin Xiong Yi.

"Elder Lin, I've done my best to help you. You won't go back on your word about those pill formulas, will you?"

"Bah! Would I, an elder of the Lin family, lie?"

Lin Xiongyi gritted his teeth.

Cao Tianchun tugged at his father's sleeve.

"That person is Lin Jinglong!"

Elder Cao Zhenxing of the Divine Pill Sect turned his gaze to Lin Jinglong, his eyes sweeping across the crowd.

They discovered that the highest level among the dozen or so people was only fourth or fifth rank, while Lin Jinglong was still a third-rank Martial Emperor.

Nothing to worry about!

"Hmph! I'll settle the score with him later!"

"Let's deal with Elder Lin and Li Changkong first!"

Cao Zhenxing transmitted his voice to his son.

He turned to look at Li Changkong and said in a low voice, "You have one eighth-level expert on your side and one seventh-level expert on your side. I'm also on Elder Lin's side now. Neither of us can do anything to the other. There's no need to continue this death fight, is there?"

There are also rules among martial artists, especially at the high-level Martial Emperor level. Everyone holds a high position and great power, and unless there is a deep-seated blood feud, they will not fight to the death.

They usually target martial artists who are weaker in skill level.

This was also why Li Changkong had been so cautious before, but this time, he listened to the words of Elder Cao Zhenxing of the Divine Pill Sect.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Lin Jinglong not far away, and when he turned back, a mocking look appeared on his lips.

"Cao Zhenxing, you are a complete idiot!"

"You think you can get anything by currying favor with Lin Xiong Yi?"
