Several dazzling purple beams of light shot into the sky.
"The ruins have been opened!"
"What are you all standing there for? Get up there now!"
Countless martial artists swept across the sky like locusts, rushing towards the direction of the purple pillar of light.
Buzz!
The beam of light emitted a dazzling light. Some of the selected martial artists entered smoothly, but those who lacked talent or cultivation were all bounced back. The force was so great that those who were bounced back were even turned into a pile of minced meat. No one dared to overestimate their abilities and try to test them again.
"let's go."
Without further hesitation, Shen Xiaohong and his group quickly rushed into the pillar of light.
"Lin Feng..."
Li Jingxiao's expression was filled with resentment and malice.
"Jingxiao, go."
Tian Yusheng smiled faintly and stopped trying to stop Li Jingxiao from offending Lin Feng.
He now possesses the strength to completely overwhelm Lin Feng. Moreover, no one outside can discover what happened inside the ruins. Even if he dies inside, no one will likely cause trouble for the Tian Shu Sect.
As long as it's done cleanly... no one will know.
Tian Yusheng couldn't help but sneer.
That bastard actually dared to lay a hand on His Highness?
Mo Ye was furious, but then it thought that the old thing wouldn't be able to keep jumping around for long. The Xuan Yan Dynasty had already made its move and was just short of wiping out the Eastern Clan and the Tian Shu Sect in one fell swoop.
"Be careful, don't get separated by this turbulent current!"
Upon entering the pillar of light, a turbulent current rushed towards them. Those with slightly weaker strength would not be able to withstand this turbulent current and might even be minced into a pulp.
Passing through the turbulent waters, you will see the entire ruins.
What comes into view are four ancient cities.
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Shen Tu'an quickly explained, "These four ancient cities are all remnants from ancient times. The ancient city in front of us is located in the north, corresponding to the Five Elements, which is Kan, hence the name Kan City. The ancient city in the south is called Li, the one in the west is Dui, and the one in the east is called Xun. It is said that these four ancient cities will start to move on their own at midnight every night, quickly forming a strange and bizarre formation, and the various inheritances in the ruins will also appear at that time."
"So, we're going to have to wait until late at night?"
Xia Shiying crossed her arms and said helplessly, "Are we just going to wait here like this?"
“Your Highness, this is not just a matter of waiting idly. Once we choose to enter a city, a large number of souls of warriors who died in the city will emerge from it. These souls will retain their previous power but will be devoid of any consciousness. They will directly regard us as intruders and attack us en masse.”
"but……"
"continue."
Xia Shiying raised her chin.
Shen Tu'an continued, "There are four 'city guards' in the east, west, south and north of the city. As long as you defeat these four city guards decisively, the spirits will rest and you won't have to keep fighting."
Shen Xiaohong nodded.
"Fighting from morning till night is unbearable for anyone. Not to mention physical strength, even spiritual energy can't keep up. It seems we have no choice but to deal with the city's guards."
"Young master, this may be a bit difficult."
"What, are those city guards highly skilled in cultivation?"
Shen Xiaohong was puzzled.
Shen Tu'an chuckled awkwardly and shook his head, saying, "That's not it. Each of them is at the ninth level of the Divine Tribulation Realm. Our lineup can fight them, but the most difficult part is that we must kill all four city guards at the same time. If there is even the slightest deviation in timing, they will revive again, or even remain at their peak and continue to fight recklessly."
"This is a bit troublesome."
Shangguan Tingye pursed his lips and counted on his fingers: "Even if Young Master Lin deals with one, Young Master Shen deals with one, my sister deals with one, and the rest of us—Miss Yushang, Princess Diji, and Shentu An—although our cultivation is not high enough, the two of us should be more than enough to deal with one. The remaining two of us can be responsible for cleaning up the miscellaneous spirits in the city... But even so, we can't guarantee that we can kill four city guard slaves at the same time, can we?"
"Indeed...and we also have to be wary of villains."
Shen Xiaohong frowned and said in a deep voice, "If we are responsible for all four city guards, and others just sit back and reap the benefits, it would be too unfair."
"Brother Shentu, is the information you obtained incomplete?"
Shen Tu An nodded honestly: "Young master is wise, that is indeed the case."
"What if we don't go into the city? What if we just wait outside until evening for the inheritance to manifest?" Shangguan Qingning asked, frowning.
Shen Tu'an shook his head: "I don't know."
"We just need to take care of ourselves."
Lin Feng smiled faintly and suddenly said.
"Brother Lin means..."
"I will deal with all the city guards. Feng Yushang will follow me and provide cover. The others will clear the souls of the powerful figures in the city and drive those who are just watching the fight out of the city. There is no need to kill them all."
"You're going to handle this alone? Brother Lin, how can that be possible?"
Shen Xiaohong frowned.
"Brother Xiaohong, you don't believe me?"
"How could that be? I was just worried about you, Brother Lin. How about this: I'll take Miss Feng's place, and we'll each take two. We'll set a secret signal, and once the signal is given, we'll kill the city guards together. Miss Feng can then do the cleaning work with Miss Xia and the others. What do you think?"
Lin Feng pondered to himself.
He had already redeemed all the information about this ruin in the system store, and knew everything about its mechanisms.
For the Divine Blade to recognize its master, it requires cultivation level, talent, and temperament; all three are indispensable.
Killing all four city guards at the same time is equivalent to demonstrating one's cultivation and talent to them, while letting go of those who were sitting on the sidelines watching the fight without killing them shows the mindset of a strong person.
However, if Shen Xiaohong were to interfere, Shen Hongdao might not accept him.
We can't let this hothead ruin our plans.
Lin Feng shook his head and said, "There are many powerful spirits in the city. Among the team, you and I are the strongest. If we all go to deal with the city guards, wouldn't it be troublesome if the others encounter danger?"
"Brother Xiaohong, please don't argue with me. Just listen to me this time. I have received so much help from you in the Xuan Yan Dynasty. Now it is time for me to repay your kindness."
Shen Xiaohong was deeply moved.
Shen Tu'an and the Shangguan sisters were also slightly moved.
Young Master Lin even considered their safety; what a kind person he is!
"That scoundrel Li Jingxiao is utterly ungrateful; he actually dares to go against the young master."
Shen Tu'an cursed under his breath.
Shangguan Tingye sighed inwardly.
When will Brother Xiao realize how good Young Master Lin is?
[The female protagonist harbors resentment towards the male protagonist; reward: 2000 Destiny Points!]
Lin Feng smiled slightly and patted Shen Xiaohong on the shoulder.
"Alright, since Brother Lin has said so, then I, Xiao Hong, will certainly live up to your expectations!"
Shen Xiaohong looked solemn, almost as if he were swearing an oath of loyalty to the heavens.
Among the group, Feng Yushang, the only one besides Lin Feng who knew the truth, shrank her neck, wanting to laugh but holding it in.
These guys have really been completely fooled by His Highness.
