After defeating the mysterious figure, the group continued their search for a way out of the ruins. However, after a thorough search, they found nothing. Just as they were becoming anxious, the previously calm void suddenly trembled violently, as if the entire ruins were about to collapse.
Lin Yang shouted, "Everyone be careful! Something's happened at the ruins!" As soon as he finished speaking, countless cracks appeared in the void, and a powerful suction force surged from them, attempting to pull everyone in. The members of the Linghe Merchant Guild quickly cast defensive spells, forming layer upon layer of shields around them to resist the suction force.
The sword cultivators of the Spirit Sword Sect attempted to stabilize themselves by flying on their swords. However, the suction force grew stronger and stronger, and even their sword-flying techniques were insufficient to resist it. Zhao Wanbao, the head of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, quickly summoned a magical artifact—the Space-Stabilizing Pearl. The Space-Stabilizing Pearl emitted a soft light, and the suction force weakened slightly where the light reached.
Just as everyone was struggling against the suction force, a group of strange creatures suddenly appeared from the crack. These creatures resembled dragons, their bodies radiating a ghostly blue light, and they lunged at the group with bared fangs and claws. Lin Yang's heart tightened; he knew that under the influence of this suction force, the group would have to resist the creatures' attacks while also avoiding being sucked into the crack, making the situation even more critical.
Lin Yang quickly shouted to everyone, "The sword cultivators of the Spirit Sword Sect will focus on attacking these creatures, the Spirit Harmony Chamber of Commerce will be responsible for defense and support, and the Myriad Treasures Pavilion will use magic treasures to enhance our defense and attack!" Everyone quickly acted according to Lin Yang's command.
The sword cultivators of the Spirit Sword Sect unleashed their fierce sword techniques, their sword energy crisscrossing as they slashed towards the dragon-like creatures. However, these creatures possessed exceptionally hard scales, and ordinary sword energy could only leave shallow marks on them. Seeing this, Lin Yang circulated his spiritual power, infusing the power of the mysterious light point into his sword, and then unleashed a powerful sword technique. A sword energy imbued with immense power slashed out, directly cleaving one of the creatures in two.
While defending themselves, members of the Linghe Merchant Guild threw out specially made pills. The pills exploded in mid-air, releasing a powerful shockwave that temporarily repelled some of the creatures. At the same time, they also manipulated various auxiliary magical artifacts to enhance the sword cultivators' attack and defense capabilities.
The disciples of Wanbaoge manipulated magical artifacts to attack the creatures. The artifacts they unleashed were diverse; some released flames, engulfing the creatures in a sea of fire; others shot out ice spikes, raining down on them. Under the combined attack of the group, the number of dragon-like creatures gradually decreased.
However, the suction force within the rift showed no signs of weakening. Moreover, as the number of living beings decreased, even more powerful creatures emerged from the rift. These creatures were larger and stronger, placing even greater pressure on the group.
Lin Yang knew that if things continued like this, everyone would eventually collapse. While fighting the powerful creatures, he observed the surrounding environment, trying to find a way out. Suddenly, he noticed a spot in the void where the suction was relatively weak, and there were fewer cracks around it. A thought struck Lin Yang; he felt that spot might be the key to leaving the ruins.
Lin Yang quickly shouted to the crowd, "Everyone, follow me! Charge in that direction! There might be a way out!" Hearing this, everyone rushed in the direction Lin Yang indicated. During their advance, they encountered even fiercer attacks. Powerful creatures constantly blocked their path, and suction forces attempted to pull them back.
The members of the Linghe Chamber of Commerce maintained their defenses with all their might, their spiritual energy dwindling, yet they persevered. The sword cultivators of the Lingjian Sect, with a death wish, unleashed their strongest sword techniques to clear a path for everyone. Zhao Wanbao, the head of the Wanbao Pavilion, personally controlled his magical artifacts, launching attacks against any creatures blocking their way.
With everyone working together, they finally overcame the obstacles posed by the creatures and arrived at the location Lin Yang had indicated. There, they found a teleportation array emitting a soft glow, its surface covered in mysterious runes. Lin Yang carefully examined the array and discovered that activating it required a specific method of inputting spiritual energy.
Lin Yang quickly shared his discovery with everyone, and then, together they channeled spiritual energy into the array using a specific method. As the energy flowed in, the teleportation array shone brightly, enveloping everyone in a beam of light. In a flash of light, they vanished into the void, successfully leaving the ruins.
When the group reappeared, they were back in the Spirit Ruins Market. The people of the market cheered upon their safe return. However, Lin Yang knew that although they were temporarily safe, the ownership of the magical artifact remained unresolved, and the threat from the mysterious force still lingered. He knew that the crisis in the Spirit Ruins Market was not truly over, and many more challenges awaited them in the future.
