"Sanjie, who is this woman?"
Qin Xin couldn't resist his curiosity, so he tilted his head and looked at Sanjie, who was also focused on the woman, and asked.
"Cough cough..."
Qin Xin's sudden question startled the dazed Sanjie, who then touched his smooth head, lowered his head, and coughed twice.
"This woman is named Luo Lingyan. Anyway, she has quite a background. All we know is that she is a core disciple of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. As for other information, we have no way of knowing. But we didn't expect that the Hundred Flowers Pavilion would send her here. It seems that there is something she needs in the Luo Shen Sect."
Before Sanjie could speak, Jiang Xinghai suddenly interjected, seemingly very familiar with the woman before him.
"The Hundred Flowers Pavilion?"
Qin Xin nodded slightly and murmured softly.
"I didn't expect Brother Xinghai to know so much about beautiful women."
Lin Jinglei, standing to the side, contradicted him, glancing at Zhan Qingqi as he spoke. No one knew what he was plotting.
Zhan Qingqi's expression remained unchanged, as if Jiang Xinghai's affairs had nothing to do with her. However, her somewhat aloof eyes were also fixed on the woman whose feet seemed to float on lotus petals. Perhaps it was the competitive spirit between women at play that was at play, as she gently tucked her hair behind her ear.
"Lin Jinglei, you're trying to sow discord!"
Upon hearing Lin Jinglei's words, Jiang Xinghai immediately became agitated. He first glanced at Zhan Qingqi, fearing that she might be angry about it.
"See, I told you so. Qingqi, you must keep your eyes open when choosing a man."
Lin Jinglei acted as if nothing had happened, seemingly oblivious to Jiang Xinghai's existence.
"You're asking for it!"
As Jiang Xinghai clenched his fists, four internal energy channels subtly circulated, ready to erupt at any moment.
"Alright, that's enough talk!"
Upon seeing this, Shi Shan frowned slightly and called out to stop the two.
"I didn't expect Miss Lingyan to come. Xia Ming greets you."
Holding a folding fan, Xia Ming went straight up to Luo Lingyan, who was walking on lotus flowers, and smiled obsequiously at her.
"The Great Xia Dynasty?"
Luo Lingyan looked at the pattern on Xia Ming's folding fan and said calmly.
Though his voice was soft, it went straight to the heart.
"Splash!"
Just as Xia Ming was about to continue his offensive against the woman, a sudden change in the sky caused the long-waiting martial artists to gasp in surprise.
"The passage is about to open!"
Xia Yue looked at the changes on the top of Mount Luoshen and spoke to everyone.
At this moment, the spiritual energy fluctuations on the top of Luoshen Mountain became even more pronounced. As the true energy swirled, it stirred up the surrounding energy, and a huge passage slowly took shape.
"The passage is open! Let's go in and grab the treasure!"
As soon as a voice rang out from the crowd, the entire square immediately began to stir. Martial artists rushed towards the passage at the top of the mountain, while many of the demonic beasts living on the mountain were frightened and fled under the impact of the crowd. Of course, some who did not have time to escape were directly killed.
"Let's go in too!"
Seeing this, Xia Yue led the others and rushed forward.
The once tranquil Luoshen Mountain was now completely shattered. Aside from the roars of some demonic beasts, many martial artists screamed as they perished in their jaws.
Qin Xin and the others did not rush too fast. Although many people had already reached the top of the mountain, they were constantly dodging the monsters. By the time they reached the top, many people had already entered the passage.
At the summit, before the passage through which the true energy flowed was an ancient stone gate, which was now slowly opening. The peach blossom markings between the stone gates were very conspicuous, reminding Qin Xin of the map he had obtained from Ruan Yang.
Outside this ancient stone gate, many martial artists tried to force their way in, but they were all bounced back by the enormous energy and could only wait helplessly in front of the stone gate.
"Please open your minds and follow me into the ruins of the Luoshen Gate!"
Xia Yue whispered to the group, then channeled her true energy into the Luoshen Token. The token immediately emitted a faint pink light, and a few peach petals drifted out.
"call!"
With a light breath, Qin Xin followed Xia Yue and the others into the stone gate passage. Instantly, the energy within the passage seemed to sense the peach blossom petals and enveloped them.
At that moment, however, the scroll that Qin Xin obtained from Ruan Yang underwent some strange changes.
A blur flashed before my eyes, and when I opened them again, a sense of oppression enveloped my entire body. Even the flow of my true energy slowed down considerably. Although time had passed, the remaining power of the Luo Shen Sect remained. Despite their destruction, they still sought the respect they deserved.
"Strange, where are the others?"
Qin Xin then noticed that the people who had been around him were gone, and a deep look crossed his eyes, because he was the only one left in the entire hall.
"Is this map from the Luoshen Gate?"
Qin Xin then remembered the scroll that had been acting strangely, and immediately took it out to examine it. The map showed the location of the main hall, so Qin Xin immediately determined that the scroll was indeed the map of the Luoshen Sect.
"But this peach blossom symbol?"
Qin Xin looked at the conspicuous peach blossoms, then compared them with the details in the main hall, and finally determined the direction to proceed.
"Luckily, I got separated from them, otherwise it would have been difficult to move around."
Qin Xin was also thinking to himself that if he were with the other people, taking out this map would likely cause considerable trouble. If someone recognized the map as belonging to Ruan Yang, he might face the wrath of the Ruan clan and the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Kid, I can sense quite a few restrictions here, so be careful!"
Just as Qin Xin was preparing to quickly head to the location of the peach blossom marker, Danqing's words immediately made him cautious, and he slowed down his pace. After all, caution is the best policy.
At this time, many areas within the ruins of the Luo Shen Sect had been sealed off by the four major families, and some martial artists were loitering around. Anyone who tried to approach was immediately driven away, and anyone who attempted to force their way in was met with a group beating.
Of course, conflicts inevitably arise among members of the same clan over the distribution of certain elixirs and treasures, sometimes even escalating into physical fights.
Seeing this, Qin Xin chose to avoid it. Although he wanted to go and see the place that was blocked by those people, he always felt that there was something extraordinary about the peach blossom mark.
"Hmm? There's a stone door here?"
As Qin Xin followed the route marked on the scroll, a simple and ancient gate suddenly appeared before him. The entire gate was like a single piece of cold jade, with a wisp of blue energy swirling around it, as if it contained some kind of formation.
"This should be a medicinal herb field. The formation has been around for so many years that it no longer has the ability to survive. You can break it easily."
Danqing's voice drifted over softly.
"Since you know so much about other sects, it seems you must have visited quite a few."
Qin Xin gathered his true energy in his hands while speaking to Dan Qing.
"Hmph, back in the day, my teacher went to steal medicine from other sects..."
Danqing wanted to proudly recount his past glories, but as if afraid of letting something slip, he stopped talking abruptly. Qin Xin didn't press further, but instead gathered all his true energy into his fist and punched the ancient gate.
"Click!"
The jade-carved gate, a crack spread out, and it collapsed with a crash.
Suddenly, a medicinal fragrance wafted over, and Qin Xin's eyes lit up as he rushed out.
