Before Qiao Ling's longsword could fall, a piercing snapping sound came from it.
The longsword in his hand, which was above the ninth rank, was broken by an invisible force and finally shattered into dust under Jiang Yuan's sharp gaze.
"This is a warning. If you overstep your bounds again, next time it won't be the sword in your hand that will break!" Jiang Yuan glanced at Qiao Ling indifferently, the threat in his words was obvious.
This is the power of the purple-robed disciples within the ruins; any provocation from lower-ranking disciples will be punished according to the rules of the ruins.
The endorsement of weapon spirit skills is not just a simple matter of two words!
"Your Highness, don't be impulsive!" The middle-aged Holy Spirit immediately stepped forward to stop him, fearing that Qiao Ling might do something rash.
The Holy Spirit Clan knew the rules of this place before they extended their reach here. Qiao Ling only acted out of resentment, and his target was the Desire Rabbit. However, to his surprise, this would be punished by the rules of the ruins.
"Hmph, you're just lucky to have the identity of a purple-robed disciple. If you think you can rely on this identity to obtain the inheritance of the ruins, then you're just daydreaming!" Qiao Ling retorted, not to be outdone.
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Can I understand that you're just being a sour grapes?"
"We'll see. The Battlefield of Fallen Gods isn't something a mere purple-robed disciple can accomplish!" Qiao Ling said confidently.
Jiang Yuan ignored Qiao Ling and walked into the main hall on his own.
Although he is a purple-robed disciple, it does not mean that he has special privileges. If he takes the initiative to start a battle, even if he is a purple-robed disciple, he will not be protected by the rules of the ruins. Qiao Ling's side has several ninth-level experts, and he and Yu Tu have just gone through a big battle. In addition, his Divine Battle and Five Elements Rings have not yet cooled down. He is at a disadvantage in a real fight, so there is no need to take the risk.
"Apostle, where are we going?"
Yu Tu followed Jiang Yuan closely, and after walking for several minutes, asked curiously.
"Explore the truth behind the ruins!"
Jiang Yuan gazed intently at a distant palace shrouded in fragrant incense. When he became a disciple of the Purple Robe Sect, Xu Fu's congratulatory words had guided him on his path.
After entering this place, Xu Fu was also fortunate enough to obtain the identity of a purple-robed disciple. After passing the test of the Lord of War, he gained the Lord of War's favor and became the fourth guardian of the Lord of War's tomb.
The test that Xu Fu passed was to refine the elixir of immortality!
Therefore, if he wanted to acquire more treasures within the ruins, the most convenient way was to become a tomb keeper. Only by becoming a tomb keeper could he gain initial control over the tomb of the warlord.
"Just the two of us?" Yu Tu was a little reluctant. Firstly, he was afraid that his team would be tricked if they didn't come in, and secondly, he was worried that the two of them wouldn't be strong enough to explore the ruins and would waste time.
“If you’re not willing, I’d be happy to explore alone!” Jiang Yuan said bluntly.
"Forehead!"
Yu Tu looked conflicted, but considering that she was still injured and only Jiang Yuan could protect her, she nodded in agreement to enter the palace.
Jiang Yuan stopped and began walking towards the palace surrounded by the fragrance of elixirs. He had originally thought that his identity as a purple-robed disciple would allow him to proceed without hindrance, but it was only when he passed the first Yangxin Pavilion that he truly realized the importance of his purple-robed disciple status.
"Yangxin Pavilion!" Yu Tu looked up at the palace in front of him and read out the three ancient characters on the plaque.
The Epang Palace left by Xu Fu was not just one or two palaces, but a huge architectural complex that formed its own system. It consisted of eighteen front halls, six side halls, and three main halls, with the Yangxin Pavilion being one of the eighteen front halls.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
Jiang Yuan pushed open the palace door, and just as the door opened, a sharp sword light struck, so fast that Jiang Yuan couldn't react at all.
"Heavenly Eye!"
He hastily activated his Heavenly Eye only when the sword light was right in front of him, but even faster than the Heavenly Eye was the purple robe he was wearing.
Weapon Soul Skill - Endorsement!
With a flash of the violet robe, the sword light was instantly shattered into fragments of spiritual energy, and a faint, elusive voice echoed within the hall.
"After a thousand years, the Yangxin Pavilion welcomes a purple-robed disciple once again!"
"who?"
Jiang Yuantian scanned the hall with his Heavenly Eye, but found no one; it was as if the voice came from nothingness.
"It's a pity that the Battle of Godsfall has ended and the Lord of War has passed away. Even if there are disciples in purple robes, it will be meaningless!" The voice in the hall was still sighing.
Upon hearing the two familiar words, Jiang Yuan frowned. Anyone who could say such things must know the inside story of the ruins.
"Are you the spirit of the Epang Palace?" Jiang Yuan suddenly asked.
Laughter erupted from inside the hall, and after a few seconds it continued, "He's not exactly stupid!"
Having received a positive reply, Jiang Yuan felt much more at ease. His identity as a purple-robed disciple would guarantee his safety within the ruins. Relaxing, he asked in return, "Since you are a spirit of the palace, why did you attack me just now? Did you disregard my identity as a purple-robed disciple?"
"The Tomb of the Lord of War exists for the Jiuli people, but you are not, which is why the Yangxin Pavilion attacked you! As for why the attack was annihilated, it's simply because you are a purple-robed disciple! But I'm very curious, you are not a descendant of the Lord of War, so why were you able to obtain the status of a purple-robed disciple and become the Lord of War's sole representative?" The spirit of the hall explained while addressing the questions he didn't understand.
Jiang Yuan had the answer in his heart. There must have been an influence from the lucky dice, plus the fact that he himself possessed the genes of the Three Sovereigns, making him an undisputed orthodox figure in Chinese history.
"Since you don't want to answer, I won't force you! But you should know one thing: the Epang Palace has been destroyed, and the Yangxin Pavilion no longer has many treasures to give you!" After the spirit finished speaking, a slight fluctuation appeared in its emotions, and a cloud of mist appeared in the middle of the hall, which was the spirit's true form.
"Apostle, may I go in?"
As soon as Dian Ling finished speaking, Yu Tu, who had been standing outside the door in a daze and dared not come in, asked timidly. She had naturally felt the extremely fierce attack just now, which was why she was hesitant to enter Yangxin Pavilion.
"A mere commoner in white robes, and not even a member of the Jiuli clan, may you wait outside the hall!" The hall spirit spoke coldly, seemingly showing no mercy whatsoever.
Jiang Yuan glanced innocently at Yu Tu. He had tried the attack earlier, and it was something that no creature below the ninth rank could withstand. Therefore, he advised against trespassing.
"Alright then!" Yu Tu was not discouraged by the Palace Spirit's heartless rejection, but obediently squatted on the steps outside the door and waited for Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan turned around and carefully considered what the spirit of the palace had just said. He suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "You just said that the Yangxin Pavilion doesn't have many treasures left to give me. Does that mean there are still a few treasures left?"
"This..." The spirit of the temple fell silent.
"Don't forget, I am still a disciple in purple robes. It is the responsibility of the previous tomb keeper to bestow treasures!"
Jiang Yuan used his trump card, because Xu Fu had mentioned this point in his congratulations. At that time, Xu Fu said that he had prepared a gift for his junior brother in the Epang Palace, and he could go and get it himself.
