This scene was witnessed by the independent cultivators in the distance.

"Oh no, the passage is about to close!"

The remaining independent cultivators were dumbfounded. The passage was closed, which meant they would have to stay here for three hundred years!

"Help! I haven't gotten out yet!"

"No, wait for me..."

The rest swarmed towards the passage.

However, it was too late.

The passage dissipated amidst violent tremors.

...

As Chen Tianwen stepped out of the secret realm, the warm sunlight shone on him.

The Great Sun Cave Heaven Scripture operated automatically, converting sunlight into cultivation energy, which filled his Qi Sea.

Having finished exploring the ruins, he should now get down to business and go to the main Chen family to inquire about the whereabouts of his branch of the family.

Just then, two giant ships slowly descended from the sky.

One was as white as a cloud, the other as black as ink.

It was the Sky-Piercing Boat, a specialty left behind by the Cloud-Riding Boat and the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group.

Piloting the Sky-Piercing Boat requires Nascent Soul cultivation.

But after Chen Tianwen killed Li Hao with a single sword strike.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Sirius Mercenary Group were so frightened that they ran away in terror, and had no time to care about the Sky-Piercing Ship.

And just like that, it was taken over by the Chifeng Mercenary Group.

Shu Yiyao came to his side, called him "Senior" and clasped her hands in a fist and said, "Yiyao humbly invites you to Guibei City for a chat!"

Her voice was filled with intense anticipation.

He was on good terms with Chen Tianwen.

For the Chifeng Mercenary Group, it was entirely beneficial.

Besides the Chifeng Mercenary Group

She invited Chen Tianwen largely because of herself!

Or rather, her family!

The Shu family!

Chen Tianwen's power and mystery gave her hope of breaking the family curse!

Chen Tianwen could even freely enter and exit the mysterious array in the center of the ruins.

Perhaps there is a way to break the curse surrounding their family.

Even if the chance is only one in ten thousand, she will not give up.

In response to Shu Yiyao's invitation.

Chen Tianwen thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

After all, the Chifeng Mercenary Group is a well-known and powerful force in Yunzhou. With their help, my own strength can also be increased.

Shu Yiyao was overjoyed to see that Chen Tianwen had agreed.

They quickly ordered someone to clean out a VIP room for Chen Tianwen on the cloud-riding boat.

Soon, the Cloud Boat and the Sky-Piercing Boat slowly rose into the air, turned around in mid-air, and headed north, embarking on their return journey.
