When Chu Chaoyun saw the blazing light soaring into the sky, he stopped. After a pause, he smiled gently, "What a powerful Martial Technique. Unfortunately, it is useless after we go up."
Beside the ink river, Xiao Chen slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw the worried expressions of Su Xiaoxiao and Kim Tae-ho. His heart warmed slightly as he smiled faintly, "Thank you!"
Su Xiaoxiao said, "Are you alright? Earlier, you suddenly fell down and startled us."
Kim Tae-ho's eyes lit up as he ran over. He smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, I saw you carving that Golden Lion Horn earlier. Can this Secret Treasure of yours be mass-produced?"
This Fatso was really greedy for money. Xiao Chen got up and ignored him. He checked his body and discovered that there were no major problems. It was just that he had exhausted too much Essence. He asked, "How long have I been unconscious? Did that group of people chase after us?"
Su Xiaoxiao replied, "It has been about two hours. The noble clans did not chase after us. Dabao saw them heading downstream and was discussing whether to follow them or not."
Xiao Chen stretched his legs and felt that there were no problems with his body. He said indifferently, "Follow them. The golden coffin of the Sage has not been found yet. If we do not go, we will have made this trip for nothing."
Fatso laughed loudly, "I knew that Brother Xiao would follow them. Actually, I already scouted the path. They followed the river downstream. Finally, they crossed the river and reached a stone platform a kilometer tall.
"I also saw that brat Chu Chaoyun. He was acting sneakily by himself. He was not with those people."
On the stone platform a kilometer tall, Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He thought to himself, If Fatso did not see wrong, that was definitely a materialization of the Sage. Otherwise, such a situation would not occur.
Furthermore, there was Chu Chaoyun. From the moment he appeared, he gave off an unfathomable feeling. The others came with great fanfare. However, he came alone.
Xiao Chen shook his head and collected his thoughts. "Let's go. If we don't leave now, it will really be too late."
The group quickly moved forward and soon arrived at the place where the various clans had killed the bat-like Demonic Beasts. Looking at the corpses of the Demonic Beasts, Xiao Chen stopped.
The Lunar Shadow Saber slowly picked up the corpse of a Demonic Beast. Xiao Chen thought for a while and walked to the riverside. When he saw the black Qi on the surface of the river, he was astonished. The river was actually filled with dense Demonic Qi.
How could there be so much Demonic Qi gathering in the Sage's Ruins? Was this the Sage's Ruins or the Demon's Ruins? Xiao Chen thought suspiciously. He felt that there was something wrong with the appearance of the Sage's Ruins.
"Mr. Xiao, what are you thinking about?" Su Xiaoxiao saw Xiao Chen looking at the river without saying anything, so she asked curiously.
Xiao Chen came back to his senses and smiled faintly. "It's fine. Let's go!"
The three of them continued forward. They all used their Movement Techniques and ran quickly along the riverside. What astonished Xiao Chen was that Fatso was using some unknown Movement Technique. His plump body was actually not slower than Xiao Chen's.
Seeing Xiao Chen looking at him in astonishment, Fatso opened his folding fan and smiled proudly. Xiao Chen could not bear to see Fatso being cocky, so he quickly turned his face away.
"We have arrived. The stone platform is on the other side of the river. Once we cross the river, we will fall." When they reached the stone wall, Fatso stopped. He pointed to a stone platform on the other side and said, "They should have already gone up."
Xiao Chen looked at the surface of the river filled with Demonic Qi and said, "We cannot go over directly. This black Qi is all Demonic Qi. If we touch it, we might be demonized."
After he spoke, he took out a jade bottle from the Universe Ring. Like the Universe Ring, this jade bottle was a very low-level Space Treasure. The space inside was very large, but it could only hold liquids and gases. Xiao Chen had made it when he was bored when he came to White Water City.
He pointed the jade bottle at the surface of the river. Under the astonished gazes of Kim Tae-ho and Su Xiaoxiao, the black river began to churn. The Demonic Qi on the surface of the black river was all absorbed.
After a long time, a surface without Demonic Qi appeared on the surface of the black river. Xiao Chen put away the jade bottle and quickly said, "Let's go over!"
He used the Gravity Spell and flew over. Fatso and Su Xiaoxiao stepped on the surface of the water and flew to the other side. After they reached the shore, Fatso immediately came over and smiled at Xiao Chen. He said, "Brother Xiao, what was that? Can I take a look at it?"
Xiao Chen did not reject him. This jade bottle was not a treasure and its uses were limited. It was just something he made when he was bored. The workmanship could even be said to be very crude. It was fine to let Fatso take a look.
Fatso held it in his hand and looked at it fondly. After a while, he handed it over and asked, "Why do I feel that you made this bottle yourself? Furthermore, it is a little crude."
Xiao Chen was startled. This Fatso's eyes were very sharp. He did not answer him and directly walked towards the stone platform. He could already feel the Righteous Qi coming from the stone platform.
Fatso suddenly said when he was about to reach the stone platform. It seemed like there were people sitting cross-legged and meditating.
Xiao Chen felt that something was wrong. Those people sitting cross-legged did not seem to be angry. The sound of their footsteps was already very loud. However, this group of people did not react at all.
"Something is wrong. That group of people seems to be dead." After Xiao Chen said that, he walked over.
Skeletons were scattered all over the ground. As for those people sitting cross-legged, their eyes were closed as though they were asleep. Fatso gently pushed them and they immediately fell to the ground.
Kim Tae-ho's expression suddenly turned serious. He looked at the pile of skeletons and then at the cultivators of the noble clans. He frowned and said, "These cultivators just died. Furthermore, the way they died is very strange."
Aside from the corpses of the noble clans, the Guiyi Marquis's Golden Guards had all died mysteriously. They fell to the ground with a gentle touch.
Fatso suddenly laughed loudly. Before Xiao Chen could react, he saw Fatso move like a whirlwind, stripping all the Guiyi Marquis's Golden Guards. Then, he took out the Earth Ranked Battle Armor.
Soon, Fatso had taken out more than a hundred sets of Battle Armor. Fatso took out one and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, his expression changed. He said, "Why do these Battle Armors no longer have any spirituality? How can this be?"
After Xiao Chen spoke, he casually took out a saber and chopped at the Battle Armor. A small crack immediately appeared on the golden Battle Armor before it shattered.
Su Xiaoxiao revealed an astonished expression. She picked up a piece of golden Battle Armor and looked at it carefully. After a while, she said, "The Moonstone in this Battle Armor seems to have been absorbed by something."
When Xiao Chen and Su Xiaoxiao heard this, they were astonished. They had never heard of such a thing before. The Moonstone was a mysterious stone. It contained natural Daos. How could it be absorbed completely?
Xiao Chen looked at the stone platform and did his best to extend his Spiritual Sense. However, he could not extend it. In this small world, it was difficult for his Spiritual Sense to leave his body.
Fatso muttered, "Never mind. Let's go up. If we do not go up, we will never know the reason."
Although Xiao Chen felt that something was wrong, he could not extend his Spiritual Sense out. He could not find anything. He could only agree to Fatso's suggestion. The three of them stepped onto the stone platform.
"Hu!"
The instant the three of them stepped onto the stone platform, the Blue Dragon Martial Spirit in Xiao Chen's body, the golden folding fan in Fatso's hand, and the zither in Su Xiaoxiao's hand suddenly emitted an aura. After that, the three auras merged together and formed a barrier that was neither too big nor too small, surrounding the three of them.
Su Xiaoxiao said in astonishment, "This is the self-protection of the Holy Weapon. There must be something horrifying under this stone platform. Otherwise, the Holy Weapon would not automatically protect itself."
Xiao Chen looked at the seemingly endless flight of steps. Suddenly, an indescribable chill arose in his heart. The three of them did not say anything and continued forward. Since they had already reached this step, there was no way they could retreat.
After climbing a hundred steps, densely packed skeletons started to appear on the stone steps. When everyone stepped on the skeletons, they gave off a 'ka ka' sound, causing their scalps to go numb.
"Rumble …!"
The Lunar Shadow Saber in the Universe Ring suddenly trembled. Xiao Chen was astonished. He stopped and looked around. A rusty broken sword appeared in his vision.
"This is? Another Sub-Divine Weapon of the Battle Sage Origin? " Xiao Chen picked up the broken sword and thought doubtfully. He could not see anything strange about the broken sword.
The Lunar Shadow Saber in the Universe Ring trembled even more intensely. It was like it was about to fly out of the ring. Xiao Chen had never encountered such a situation before.
Although he did not understand what was going on, this broken sword was definitely related to the Thunder Wood Sword. Xiao Chen placed the broken sword into the Universe Ring and continued forward.
Stepping on the piles of bones, the three of them arrived at Hua Tianyu's headless corpse. Fatso found the words written on the ground and searched Hua Tianyu's body.
"Damn it, there is nothing left. A Martial Sage is actually so poor," Fatso cursed in a low voice.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the finger on Hua Tianyu's right hand. There was an obvious ring mark on the index finger. She said indifferently, "This should be a Spatial Ring. Someone just took it away."
Xiao Chen ignored Fatso's words. He looked carefully at the wound on Hua Tianyu's neck. This was a sword wound. Hua Tianyu's head had been chopped off in one move. How could a Martial Sage be killed in one move?
"Who is so powerful, killing Martial Sages like they are dogs? Could it be the Thunder King?" Xiao Chen thought suspiciously. Suddenly, he thought of a problem, "Fatso, look around and see if his head is here."
Kim Tae-ho recovered his wits and looked at the headless corpse. He felt it was strange as well. He started to look around with Xiao Chen. However, after searching for a long time, they could not find a single skull.
"Strange, where did the head go?" Kim Tae-ho said suspiciously.
In front of the stone platform, Ji Changkong and the others divided up the treasures on the Martial Sage's body. After that, they sat down cross-legged and held an Inferior Grade Spirit Stone in their hands. They quickly recovered their Essence.
Along the way, not only did they meet the seniors of the various noble clans, they even saw the corpse of the Ying Clan's Emperor. They were all Martial Sages from a thousand years ago, people of the same generation.
Ji Changkong was the first to recover. He tossed away the dull Spirit Stone in his hand and watched as they approached the peak of the stone platform. However, he did not feel any excitement in his heart. Instead, a shadow loomed over his heart.
