Jiang Ming has lived for a staggering twelve thousand years. Even his master, senior brothers, and sisters have all ascended—yet he remains lying in his own grave pit, quietly waiting for death.<...
Chapter 361: Ruins Open
Inside Yanxu Hall.
At this time, the incense in the lobby lingered in the air, giving the entire lobby a different fragrance.
However, in this huge hall, there were only two elders sitting on both sides. Jun Yi, the sect leader, was extremely worried.
"Brother, don't worry anymore." At this time, the second elder on the side spoke up.
"Alas, how can I not be worried?"
Jun Yi shook his head and said, "Except for our Xuqian Sect, the other two sects have four fusion-stage cultivators. And in that relic, just to open the passage to the relic requires three fusion-stage cultivators to maintain the entrance. If the leader is only a Spiritualization Elder, the area we can fight for will be much less than that of the other two sects!"
Hearing this, the two elders also understood the pros and cons.
But what can we do? Now that the ruins of Huhu Mountain are about to be opened, all the major forces are scrambling to reap the benefits. They are short of a strong man in the Fusion Stage, so they will undoubtedly give up the right to compete.
Thinking of this, Jun Yi sighed again.
As one of the three gates, he had to avoid being left behind by the other two gates at all times. But this time, the ruins were opened, and the treasures inside were extraordinary. After the ruins were closed, they might find it difficult to maintain the balance of the three gates.
"It would be great if there was any way to break this deadlock." Jun Yi sighed.
“What can we do about this? Is it possible that a powerful person in the fusion stage will fall from the sky?” The great elder said self-deprecatingly.
Jun Yi also understood that this was almost impossible, but he always expected a miracle to happen.
He didn't want Xu Qian Sect to be left behind by the other two forces!
"You say..." Jun Yi was about to speak.
The next second, a voice came from outside the lobby.
"Master! Master! Good news, there is good news!" At this time, Elder Xun rushed in anxiously.
Looking at Elder Xun who suddenly broke in, the three of them all set their eyes on the newcomer.
"Sixth Elder? Any good news?" Jun Yi asked with a frown.
"Master, weren't you worried before that the ruins were missing a cultivator in the Fusion Stage leading the team? Just now, a very young powerful cultivator in the Fusion Stage came outside the gate! And he's a casual cultivator!" Elder Xun said excitedly.
"What?" Jun Yi seemed not to have heard clearly what Elder Xun said.
A strong person in the fusion stage? Or a casual cultivator?! There are actually casual cultivators in the fusion stage in the world?
After hearing these words, Jun Yi suddenly felt like he was dreaming.
Just now they were thinking that it would be great if there was a strong person in the fusion stage who could help them, but they knew that the probability of this happening was even lower than them breaking through to the Mahayana stage immediately.
But at this very moment, Elder Xun actually told them that a strong person in the Fusion Stage had come outside the door, and he was even a casual cultivator? How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
"Are you sure that the other party is a strong man in the fusion stage?" asked the great elder at this time.
"It shouldn't be fake. His moves are unpredictable, and his speed and aura are beyond the reach of ordinary people in the Spirit Transformation Stage. Even if he is not in the Fusion Stage, he has at least stepped half a step into the Fusion Stage!" said Elder Xun.
"Have you ever sparred with him?" The Great Elder frowned.
"No."
Elder Xun shook his head and said, "That strong man was brought back by our outer sect disciple. He said he had just come out of seclusion and had not been seen in the world for a long time, so he wanted to find a place to stay. The two young men who were hired to guard the gate accidentally provoked the strong man. If he had not shown mercy, I'm afraid they would have died without knowing how."
Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other.
They always feel that this is too coincidental.
They can do whatever they want, could there be some fraud involved?
At this time, Elder Xun spoke again: "Master, our Xuqian Sect is slightly weaker than the other two sects. The opening time of the ruins is imminent. If we miss this opportunity, I'm afraid we won't even be able to drink soup by then!"
Jun Yi frowned and fell into deep thought.
Now they don't seem to have any conditions to question each other. They are undoubtedly in need of a strong man in the fusion stage to help them the most. If they give up the opportunity in front of them, they will undoubtedly really have to hand over all the resources to the other two sects.
At this moment, we can only take a gamble! "Where is that person now?" Jun Yi asked.
"It's right at the door." Elder Xun said.
"Please invite him in!" Jun Yi said in a deep voice.
"good!"
After saying that, Elder Xun immediately went downstairs to find Jiang Ming.
At this time, the first elder and the second elder were also a little confused.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It’s not that there was anything wrong with Jun Yi’s decision, it’s just that the arrival of this powerful person in the fusion stage was too coincidental, so coincidental that it felt like he was a traitor sent to them by other sects.
But who would have nothing better to do than send out a traitor with the cultivation level of the fusion stage?
This is simply a waste of talent.
What's more, all major forces have said that for this relic, there can only be one elder leading the team, and the others must be below the Nascent Soul stage.
As long as they lack a leader in the Fusion Stage, they will not be able to compete with the other major forces for the ruins. Moreover, even if their goal is to kill their disciples, it will not cause any serious trouble to the entire Xuqian Sect.
Thinking of this, they really couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Or... is this really a casual cultivator who happened to come to their Xuqian Sect?
Outside the lobby, we saw Elder Xun walking in with a very young man.
When Jiang Ming walked in, the three of them looked him up and down as if they were watching an animal.
The most peculiar thing was that they found that Jiang Ming's aura was not revealed at all, and he was just like an ordinary person who could not be more ordinary.
Seeing this, Jun Yi took the initiative to walk up to Jiang Ming, stretched out his hand with a gentle smile on his face.
"Fellow Daoist, I am the leader of the Xu Qian Sect, Jun Yi. I heard that you have just come out of seclusion not long ago? I wonder what realm you have reached now?" Jun Yi said with a smile.
"Oh? Didn't this person tell you?" Jiang Ming was a little surprised.
"Well... I did say that, but we have rarely seen independent cultivators in the fusion stage, so we feel very surprised." Jun Yi said with a smile.
Hearing this, Jiang Ming smiled faintly and said, "I understand. I did hide my aura, but you can rest assured of my strength. If you can help me, I will naturally help you in return."
Jun Yi's eyes lit up and he asked, "Oh? Daoist friend, do you need help?"
Jiang Ming nodded and said, "That's right. I haven't been out in the world for too long. I need to learn more about the current cultivation world and I need a place to stay. I came here because I heard that this elder was willing to let me stay."
Jun Yi smiled and said, "It's nothing to worry about. It's just a place to rest. We still have it in Xuqian Sect."
Jiang Ming smiled and said, "In that case, I have nothing else to do. If you need anything, just let me know. I, Jiang Ming, am definitely not the kind of ungrateful person."
Hearing this, Jun Yi and others immediately smiled.
In this way, they really solved the problem of the team leader!
