Under Lu Xuan's insistence, Zhao Binger finally agreed to go with Lu Xuan. However, she had made up her mind that this time, she wouldn't go herself. Zhao Binger was still upset when she thought back to the last time she lost twenty supreme grade primary stones. She wasn't as strong as she was now, and twenty supreme grade primary stones wasn't a small sum.
After laughing and joking around for a while, Lu Xuan realized that he was so focused on Stone City that he forgot to ask Zhao Ying about the fourth-rank sects around Stone City.
Lu Xuan asked, "Master, other than the Xuan Ice Pavilion, which other fourth-grade sects are going to the cave abode of the ancient mighty?"
Zhao Ying answered, "There are six fourth-rank sects under the Jiuhua Alliance, but there are only four around Stone City. The other two fourth-rank sects are eyeing the cave, but I'm afraid the four fourth-rank sects around Stone City won't want them to interfere. So, I think only these four sects have the right to enter the cave."
"The first is Xuan Ice Pavilion. We're not the strongest fourth-rank sects under the Jiuhua Alliance, but we're in the top three. The second is the Extreme King Sect. Overall, the Extreme King Sect is about as strong as Xuan Ice Pavilion, but they're still a bit weaker. The Extreme King Sect and Xuan Ice Pavilion have the most borders, so our two sects have been fighting for years."
Lu Xuan nodded to himself. He did not know about the other fourth-grade sects, but he knew about the Extreme Monarch Sect. This was because the Nine Star Sword Sect, which had fought against the Wind Sword Sect back then, belonged to the Extreme Monarch Sect. Speaking of which, he even had a grudge against the Extreme Monarch Sect. Back then, the Extreme Monarch Sect had sent two warriors at the ninth tier of the Spirit Refinement realm. Lan Duo and Qin Wen had helped the Nine Star Sword Sect.
Most of the higher-ups of Xuan Ice Pavilion knew about what happened at Wind Sword School. The Extreme King Sect must have heard about it as well. He didn't know if they would target him this time.
As expected, Zhao Ying reminded Lu Xuan when it came to the Extreme King Sect. "The Extreme King Sect has never been on good terms with us, and you've made a grudge against them. Remember to be careful."
"Thank you for reminding me, Master. I understand."
Seeing that Lu Xuan already had a plan, Zhao Ying nodded. Once they entered the cave abode of the ancient mighty, even if they did not have any grudges against each other, they would still become enemies because of their own interests. There was no need to worry too much. She then continued, "Other than the Mystic Ice Pavilion and the Absolute Monarch Sect, the other two fourth-rank sects are the Heavenly Thunder House and the Peony Palace. The Heavenly Thunder House is similar to the Mystic Ice Pavilion in that their sect's skills are mainly thunder elemental skills. They are very good at controlling thunder, and their attacks are very strong.
"As for the Peony Palace, the most special thing about them is that all of their disciples are women. It is the most fascinating place for many male disciples."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but be slightly shocked. "All of their disciples are women?"
There weren't many women among the warriors. He didn't expect that the Peony Palace was made up of women.
"That's right. Moreover, the Peony Palace doesn't forbid marriage, so many young disciples of sects and families like to go to the Peony Palace to find a partner. Because of this, although the Peony Palace's strength is at the bottom of the fourth-rank sects, the forces involved are very complicated. They have relationships with many sects and families."
"This Peony Palace is a little interesting. I have never seen a sect made up entirely of women." Lu Xuan smiled.
Zhao Binger said indifferently, "What? Do you have a problem with women? Or do you want to go to the Peony Palace? "
Lu Xuan's expression immediately became solemn. "How could that be possible? Women are the greatest. How could I dare to look down on them? Not to mention that the Peony Palace has so many women. I'm sure they're all ordinary women. I have no interest in them."
After saying this, Lu Xuan praised himself for being quick-witted. Aside from himself, the other three were all women. He couldn't say anything bad about them. As for Zhao Binger, he had to coax her. He now understood that there was no woman who wouldn't be jealous.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Binger smiled coldly and said, "You're wrong. As far as I know, when the Peony Palace recruits disciples, talent and strength aren't the most important. Instead, appearance is the most important. Therefore, the disciples of the Peony Palace are all heavenly beauties. That's just what you want."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had been very careful, but he didn't expect that he would still give Zhao Binger something to use against him. He immediately stopped talking, looking like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.
Zhao Binger snorted and didn't say anything more. She wasn't really jealous. She just wanted to remind Lu Xuan from time to time not to flirt around. As far as she knew, the personal disciple of the Peony Palace's Palace Master was absolutely first-class in appearance. She was no less beautiful than herself. With Lu Xuan's playboy temperament, he might have some ideas when he saw her.
Looking at Lu Xuan and Zhao Binger flirting, Zhao Ying couldn't help but smile. Seeing the two of them reminded her of when she was young. Speaking of which, Lu Xuan and Ye Wuhen were really alike. Not only did they look alike, but their personalities were also similar. At that time, it was so beautiful … Unfortunately, it was all gone.
After talking for a while, they all went to rest. A day and a half would pass very quickly.
After an unknown period of time, Lu Xuan, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly felt the speed of the flying spirit boat suddenly slow down. Then, Wen Zhiyuan's voice rang out, "The stone city is just ahead. Disciples, get ready."
The flying spirit boat's speed became slower and slower. Then, it steadily stopped at a spacious place.
Lu Xuan had already followed Zhao Ying and the others to the deck. He looked around. This stone city was indeed worthy of its reputation. There were strange stones everywhere. Even the buildings in the city were all built with giant stones. Such a magnificent scene, there was probably only one in the Sky Sword Continent like this in the Stone City.
At this moment, an unfamiliar voice rang out, "Tian Hong respectfully welcomes the Pavilion Master and the various elders!"
Lu Xuan turned his head and saw a long-bearded old man dressed in the Profound Ice Pavilion's elder uniform. He was standing in front of the flying spirit boat with many people.
"Who is this person?" Lu Xuan asked.
"He is the Profound Ice Pavilion's Foreign Affairs Elder stationed in the stone city. He is already old and has no hope of breaking through. He should be enjoying his remaining years, but since he is from the stone city, the sect sent him to guard this place." Zhao Ying took the initiative to explain to Lu Xuan.
Wen Zhiyuan walked down from the flying spirit boat and smiled as he helped Tian Hong up. "Old Tian, we are all on the same side. There is no need to be so courteous. There are so many of us, so we still need you to make arrangements."
"Pavilion Master, don't worry. I have already prepared everything. Moreover, I have also gathered quite a lot of information regarding the ancient ruins. I will inform everyone about it later." Tian Hong was still as respectful as before. Although he was very familiar with Wen Zhiyuan, he still had to be courteous.
Seeing that Tian Hong was still treating him like a subordinate, Wen Zhiyuan was also helpless. He waved his hand and signaled everyone to disembark. Then, he put away the flying spirit boat and followed Tian Hong to the Profound Ice Pavilion's branch here.
Although the stone city was not inferior to any of the fourth grade sects, every sect had a branch in the stone city. After all, this was the border area, so the spread of information was very convenient and fast. It could be considered as the frontline station of the various sects.
The past few days were the busiest time in the stone city. Although the stone city was not lacking in people, it was rare to see so many experts at the same time. This was all because of the ancient ruins.
As they walked, Lu Xuan saw countless warriors. Many of them were pointing at the group, obviously recognizing them. Zhao Bing`er kept introducing the identities of these disciples to Lu Xuan. From their clothes, it was easy to tell which sect they belonged to.
Because of this big event, other than the disciples of the four major sects who were close to the stone city, there were also disciples of various families and wandering cultivators. Because of the unknown dangers of the ancient ruins, the four major sects and the Nine Eastern Alliance did not completely control the number of people who could enter. They also needed some cannon fodder to scout the way. If these wandering cultivators and family disciples could find some treasures, it would be their fortune.
After walking for a while, a group of gorgeously dressed women walked over. Their laughter was unceasing, attracting countless male disciples to stop and watch. Even many of the Profound Ice Pavilion disciples' gazes were attracted by them. It had to be said that this group of female disciples was indeed a beautiful scenery.
Lu Xuan also took the opportunity to take a look. In his heart, he immediately confirmed Zhao Bing`er's words. The female disciples of the Peony Palace were indeed extraordinary. Although they were not as outstanding as Zhao Bing`er said, they were still beautiful.
Soon, Lu Xuan felt Zhao Bing`er turn her head to look at him. Lu Xuan immediately turned his head away and looked straight ahead, pretending that this group of female disciples did not exist. Seeing Lu Xuan's performance, Zhao Bing`er nodded in satisfaction. In truth, she had underestimated Lu Xuan. As the saying goes, it is difficult for one to see a single drop of water in the ocean. After experiencing Zhao Bing`er and all the other women, how could Lu Xuan be interested in ordinary women?
"Ahem, pay attention to your image. Right now, you are representing the Profound Ice Pavilion." Wen Zhiyuan's voice quietly traveled into everyone's ears, causing many disciples to blush. Seeing so many beauties all at once, they really did lose their composure.
Not long after, the group from the Profound Ice Pavilion finally arrived at their encampment in the stone city. What entered Lu Xuan's eyes was an extremely grand stone palace. A heavy and luxurious aura immediately filled the air. All the disciples gasped in admiration, and even Lu Xuan was full of praise. This style was comparable to the Profound Ice Pavilion's Divine Palace of the Profound Ice Pavilion!
Zhao Ying smiled faintly and said, "The cultivators operating in the stone city are complicated. The encampment is the face of each sect, so each encampment is more imposing than the last. Our Profound Ice Pavilion's encampment is not too luxurious. The most luxurious is the Peony Palace's encampment. The entire place is like a paradise on earth."
