"How can this place be so poor? Not only is the spiritual energy scarce and the landscape desolate, but there's also not much wealth on this floating island. I really don't know how the spiritual energy leaks out from that void passage!"
Seeing that the only place left in the ruins that he hadn't yet plundered was the main hall in front of him, Young Master Wang cursed under his breath and quickly approached.
He didn't say anything like "we have to wait" or "we can't go in and explore now," which is just nonsense.
However, as he approached, he could clearly sense that the protective seal of this main hall was far more than one level higher than that of the previous buildings.
Even when he threw a punch with all his might, the immense force causing the entire floating island to tremble, the eggshell-like protective shield only swayed slightly, evenly distributing the force without showing any signs of breaking; it appeared exceptionally sturdy.
Now, Young Master Wang is finally certain that the seal on this great demon's divine sense is indeed incomparable to the restrictions in other places.
Moreover, it seems that even the way they are constructed is different.
Thinking back to that day in the Yellow Sea, when the Yingyu Palace withstood countless attacks from demon kings and extraordinary beings for so long, he realized that he was unlikely to break through it on his own in a short period of time.
Just as Young Master Wang was about to give up and wait for other helpers to arrive, the main hall door suddenly began to shake violently, as if it were trying to push open from the inside.
The protective barrier covering the main hall erupted with dazzling light, forcefully suppressing this impulse.
Seeing this spectacle, Young Master Wang didn't think that anyone else there was as lucky as him to be teleported directly to the inner hall, since the auras emanating from them were completely different.
Rather than saying that, it's more accurate to say that the great demon sealed within hasn't died yet...
Thinking of this, Young Master Wang suddenly shivered.
"Holy crap... No way, thinking about those strange beast souls and this desolate ruin, could there really be a powerful figure still alive? If he really breaks free, can I stop him?"
The moment the idea popped into my head, it grew wildly like weeds that had taken root.
The next second, Young Master Wang pulled the little princess of the Daoist sect back several steps until they reached the center of the square.
"What's wrong? Did Senior Brother Wang Zheng discover something?"
Qin Yao noticed Wang Zheng's unusual behavior and curiously inquired about the situation. Little did she know that, just to be on the safe side, Young Master Wang was already planning to persuade the guys in the cave to retreat together.
Before Wang Zheng could explain, their backward movement caused the two vermilion doors to shake violently, banging against the doorframes with loud clanging noises.
Meanwhile, in the wilderness unseen by Wang Zheng, his temporary comrades-in-arms, whom he was waiting for and who could break through space together, were all fleeing for their lives, running frantically.
At this moment, his disheveled appearance was a far cry from the noble demeanor of a master of innate cultivation; he was no better off than an adventurer struggling to survive in the wilderness.
More than 50 kilometers away from the floating island, looking at the beast souls behind him that had suddenly become frenzied, Zhang Jun felt as heavy as if his legs were filled with lead.
"Senior Brother Linghu, how did these mindless guys suddenly go berserk and chase us like madmen? In just half an hour, I feel like I've walked the entire length of my life. When will this ever end..."
Jingze Xiaodao from the Lunzhuan Sect, standing to the side, was also pale-faced, panting heavily from running. His neatly styled topknot had completely fallen apart, and he cursed angrily.
"If this place weren't so devoid of spiritual energy, how could we have ended up in this predicament? Senior Brother, do you think this place is actually a ruin? There are too many coincidences today. Do you think it might be...?"
"Shut up, stop talking nonsense!"
Before Daoist Jingze could finish speaking, he was immediately interrupted by Linghu Yiyun.
"They have no reason to do this, and I can sense that this is indeed an ancient site, but something unknown has probably happened here."
If China could control these ruins, there would be no need for them to scheme against us; something must have gone wrong inside.
Everyone, stop complaining. The spiritual energy concentration has increased considerably here, and I believe things will get much better once we get near that floating island. My biggest worry right now is Junior Sister Qin Yao. If she was teleported in closer to that floating island, that would be fine, but I'm afraid..."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people around him turned serious. After all, in such a place where spiritual energy is scarce, almost all spells cannot be cast, and even if they can be successfully cast, the effect will be weakened countless times.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a sorry state. If even they are struggling so much, then the probability of Qin Yao, who is an acquired person, being unharmed is indeed very low.
Along the way, Linghu Yiyun lived up to his title as the senior brother, finding most of his fellow disciples who had entered the ruins with him.
But having not seen Qin Yao yet, it's impossible not to worry.
"Junior Sister Qin Yao is blessed with good fortune, she will definitely be alright. Let's put in a little more effort, and once we reach that sky island and have recovered, we can go find the other fellow disciples."
Zhang Jun muttered something to himself in the crowd, then ran even harder.
Little did these people know that their beloved Junior Sister Qin Yao had already arrived on the empty island long ago, and that the current beast soul frenzy was even closely related to her.
If Han Xiaozi from Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain were also in the crowd, he certainly wouldn't be worried about Qin Yao.
After all, these senior brothers were so concerned that they completely forgot that their junior sister had just subdued a strange beast from Blue Star, which was much faster than them could run on foot.
Let's turn our attention back to the center of this ruin. At this moment, a strong surge of spiritual energy erupted on the floating island, and the immense force of it almost made Young Master Wang lose his footing.
A faint, melodious sound could be heard, guiding him to step forward and help break the seal.
Now that things have come to this, Wang Zheng is absolutely certain that the ancient demon sealed within is still alive!
Faced with this ancient demon who could be considered half a fellow villager, Young Master Wang had no intention of stepping forward at all. Instead, he pulled Qin Yao, who was already bewitched and swaying as she tried to move forward, and retreated directly to the foot of the white jade gate tower.
However, the space that could be freely entered and exited before is now completely closed.
Wang Zheng frowned and tried several times, but not only did he fail to break through the defense, the restrictions on the main hall also began to shake. Seeing that the situation was not good, Young Master Wang quickly stopped and began to think about how to escape unscathed...
