"Originally, these were just my family matters and I shouldn't have told you about them. However, because I am not the only survivor in this maze, I must let you know the identities of the other four survivors.
"Because right now, it's very likely that they're telling the owner of the other key about me," the Magnificent Wind City's City Lord said solemnly.
"Senior, are you saying that your four brothers are also living in this maze?" Hearing this, Xing Jue couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression.
Although the lifespan of a Combat Emperor was much longer than an ordinary person, they were still limited by their lifespan and couldn't escape the fate of death. Unless they could cultivate to the level of a Combat Emperor, they could only live for thousands of years.
However, it was obvious that his five brothers hadn't reached that level. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been trapped in this maze. As for their soul bodies, they couldn't survive for so long. Moreover, their current form didn't seem like a soul body, nor did they have a physical body.
"Hehe, actually, the five of us are only surviving in the form of a remnant soul. Because this maze has the effect of isolating souls, the five of us are able to survive until now." Seeming to have seen through Xing Jue's doubts, the City Lord explained with a smile.
"Remnant soul?" Hearing this, Xing Jue was once again at a loss. He had never heard of the term remnant soul.
"Hehe, remnant soul is my current form. To put it nicely, it's called a remnant soul. Actually, I'm already a person who deserves to die. If it wasn't for the special ability of this maze, I would have already been turned into ashes. "
"Back then, the five of us had a great battle in the main hall of Magnificent Wind City and accidentally touched the maze, causing it to be forced to activate. However, the maze was not perfect at that time. "
"Therefore, when the maze was activated, it set off an extremely terrifying flow of energy. That terrifying flow of energy killed my brothers in an instant, turning them into what they are now."
"The reason why my brothers can still survive in this form of remnant soul is that the five of us have a key to this maze. It was that key that saved us."
"At the same time, the key also fused with the five of us brothers," the City Lord explained in detail once again.
"Senior, if I'm not wrong, there should be seven keys, right?" Hearing this, Xing Jue already understood what had happened that year, and guessed the reason why the Fenghua City Mistress and the others were unable to undo the Bewitching Array.
"En, you are very smart. It is precisely because one of the keys has fused with my body that I am able to communicate with you," the City Lord praised.
"Then, Senior, since the other five pieces have already fused into your five brothers' bodies, how should I undo this Bewitching Formation?" Right at this moment, Xing Jue could not help but frown.
"Hehe, this is actually very simple. Although the key is not here, the five of us brothers are equivalent to the key. So, you just need to absorb all of our remnant souls into your key."
"As long as you agree to help me fulfill my wish, I'm willing to merge this remnant of my soul into your key. Furthermore, with my current strength, it shouldn't be a problem for me to help you break through to the Combat Emperor level in a short period of time."
"At that time, you will naturally be able to absorb my four brothers." Right at this moment, the City Lord looked at Xing Jue with an expectant gaze, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was as if he had lived alone in this Bewitching Formation for over a thousand years, waiting for this moment.
"Senior, please speak. As long as it is within my capabilities, I will definitely help you fulfill your wish." Seeing this, Xing Jue hurriedly cupped his hands and respectfully asked for instructions.
"Yes, I can feel from your Soul Strength that you are a trustworthy person. That's why I chose you and not the other key possessor." Seeing that Xing Jue had agreed, the City Lord spoke with great trust.
"Speaking of this matter, it can be considered as a debt that I owe."
"Back then, there were two great forces in the inner area, my Fenghua City and Snow Listening City. Fenghua City was controlled by my Ximen Clan, while Snow Listening City was controlled by the Nalan Clan. Our two clans have been enemies for several hundred years. "
"Back then, as the new City Lord of Fenghua City, in order to unify the inner area, I decided to tempt the young valley master of Snow Listening City at that time, Nalan Xue."
"In the end, I successfully fell in love with Nalan Xue, and she also agreed that after she ascended the throne, she would make Snow Listening City a subordinate force of my Fenghua City. However, when her father found out about our relationship, he strongly opposed her befriending me."
"However, back then, the only person in Snow Listening City who could oppose me was Nalan Xue. So, in order to not affect my great plan, I made a decision. That way, no one in Snow Listening City would be able to stop me from befriending Nalan Xue, and Snow Listening City would belong to me in the end. "
"So, I intentionally tricked Nalan Xue into the ruins where the five of us obtained the treasure, and locked her in there. After that, I personally killed Nalan Xue's father. "
"However, I understood Nalan Xue's character very well. If she knew that I had already killed her father, she would definitely not forgive me, and might even kill me."
"So, I was prepared to let her out after I broke through to the Combat Emperor realm. At least at that time, she would not forgive me, nor would she be able to kill me. Unfortunately, I did not have this opportunity. "Speaking until here, the face of the City Lord of Fenghua City was already filled with regret.
"But senior, it has already been a thousand years. Senior Nalan Xue is probably no longer in this world." Seeing this, Xing Jue said slowly.
"That won't be the case. That ruins is no small matter. It even has the power to slow down time, allowing the ruins to remain immortal for ten thousand years. So, with Nalan Xue's strength as a High Level Combat Emperor, she should still be alive. "Hearing Xing Jue's question, the City Lord of Fenghua City replied with absolute certainty.
"Slow down time? There's actually such a power? "After hearing the words of the City Lord, Xing Jue was startled.
"The power of time is a superb technique of the power of space. However, experts who have reached that level are no longer in this continent, but have entered the legendary Sacred Region." Seeing this, the City Lord smiled and explained to Xing Jue.
"Sacred Region?" After hearing this unfamiliar term, Xing Jue's already surprised face was filled with amazement. This was because he had never heard of such things before.
"Hehe, the Sacred Region is only a legend. It is a hypothetical place where the top experts who had disappeared from the continent during the ancient times went to. However, I believe that the Sacred Region really exists, because I don't believe that the experts who could create such ruins would perish in this continent. "
"However, the Sacred Region is really just a legend to us because it is too far away. If you want to touch the Sacred Region, then you must first achieve one thing, which is to at least become a top existence in this continent, which is a Combat Emperor expert. "Seeing that Xing Jue was so interested, the City Lord carefully explained to Xing Jue.
"So there is such a place. I believe that the first Pavilion Master of the Yufeng Pavilion and the mysterious expert from the ancient ruins should have stepped into the Sacred Region, right?"
"No wonder that mysterious expert said that he hoped to see me again. Perhaps he was referring to the hope that I could step into the Sacred Region in the future?"
After hearing the explanation of the City Lord, Xing Jue suddenly thought of the first Pavilion Master of the Yufeng Pavilion and the mysterious expert from the ancient ruins. At this moment, a new hope was added to Xing Jue's heart.
He suddenly realized that even the top figures in this continent, the legendary experts like the Combat Emperors, were not the strongest existences.
"That's right, Senior, where are the ruins? If Senior Nalan Xue is still here, what do you need me to pass on?" At this moment, Xing Jue asked curiously again.
"Actually, whether it is this palace or the palaces that my four brothers are in, they are not the Array Eyes of the Great Bewitching Formation. In the end, these two palaces are just like the prison of the Great Bewitching Formation. We are all the remnants of our souls that are trapped here and cannot leave."
"As for the true Array Eyes of the Great Bewitching Formation, they are actually the seven keys. So as long as you absorb all five of us into your key and kill the other person who holds the key, you can summon the Array Eyes of the Great Bewitching Formation."
"The key that can open the ruins that imprisoned Nalan Xue is in the Array Eyes. As for the location of the ruins, the key will tell you."
"If she …"
"If she … is really still alive, please help me pass on a message to her. Even if I lied to her, my love for her is real."
Speaking until here, the old face of the City Lord of Magnificent Wind City flashed with a hint of relief. Then, he looked at Xing Jue with a hopeful gaze.
"Senior, rest assured, I will definitely fulfill your wish." Seeing this, Xing Jue made a solemn vow.
"I believe in you." Seeing Xing Jue's solemn vow, the City Lord smiled and said. Then, he slowly closed his eyes.
"Buzz."
All of a sudden, the City Lord's figure dispersed, turning into several rays of light blue light. In the end, they quickly rushed into Xing Jue's body.
At this moment, a burning sensation suddenly spread out from Xing Jue's Qi Sea, then spread to every part of Xing Jue's body. Moreover, the dark red Battle Qi in Xing Jue's body was like a flood that had broken out of a dam, like an erupting volcano. Uncontrollably, it surged out from Xing Jue's body.
However, the strange thing was that although the Battle Qi was surging out, Xing Jue's strength was still rising. Soon, it reached the peak of the High Grade Combat King realm.
