It was not time that left behind a city. It was time that was merciless, snatching away my city!
"No wonder the Heavenly Lodging Palace wanted to seal off the news. A city left behind by a Martial God … I really can't imagine what kind of vast fortuitous encounter there is in there.
If the people of the Heavenly Lodging Palace's branch monopolize it … "Wei Hongfei said softly as a fervent light flashed in his eyes.
Only two words echoed in his mind: Martial God! Martial God! Martial God!
It was not just Wei Hongfei. When the other adventurers saw this scene, they all had the same expression. After being stunned for a moment, they fell into a frenzy.
Unlike Xiao Chen's melancholy, the others did not think too much. Only one word appeared in their minds: fortuitous encounter!
Murong Yan smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, why are you in a daze? Look, the others have already entered. Shouldn't we go in as well? Look at the cultivators rushing in from all directions. If we are any later, there won't even be scraps left for us. "
Xiao Chen recovered his wits and said calmly, "There's no rush. If it were so easy to obtain fortuitous encounters, the Heavenly Lodging Palace would have made a move long ago. There would be no need to wait until now. The six of us will split into three groups. After patrolling the city once, we will rendezvous here. "
Situ Changfeng approved of Xiao Chen's cautiousness. "Although we have to make every second count before fortuitous encounters, we know nothing about this ancient city. If we lose our lives, no matter how great the fortuitous encounter is, it will be useless. "
Wei Hongfei nodded and said, "I'll team up with Duan Fei. We'll go south."
Situ Changfeng smiled and said, "In that case, I'll team up with Murong Yan."
After that, only Xiao Chen and Liu Ruyun remained. They had no other choice.
The group split up. Xiao Chen and Liu Ruyun headed for the north gate.
The entire ancient city gave off a mysterious aura. When Xiao Chen tried to send his Spiritual Sense in, it was like a rock sinking into the sea; there was no reaction at all.
This feeling was extremely strange.
If there really was a strong barrier, it should have blocked out Spiritual Sense. However, Xiao Chen could not figure it out.
"An ancient city left by a Martial God? Interesting. I was just about to leave when I actually encountered such a fortuitous encounter. "
Not long after Xiao Chen's group left, a group of Dragon Race cultivators appeared. The person who spoke was Zhong Li, whom Xiao Chen's group met in the White Dragon Palace.
Liu Yunfei, who had a special body constitution, seemed quite excited as he followed beside him.
However, this group was clearly not led by Zhong Li. The strongest was a Golden Dragon Race cultivator.
If Xiao Chen were here, he would not be unfamiliar with it either.
"Hahaha, I, Qin Aotian, am indeed blessed with great luck. I just obtained a fortuitous encounter and found another ancient city left by a Martial God!"
This Golden Dragon Race cultivator was Qin Aotian, whom Xiao Chen had beaten up in Blazing Sun Valley.
It had only been a few months since they last met, and this fellow had actually grown stronger yet again. The only thing that did not change was the number of Inheritance Rings he had on his finger.
The golden battle armor he wore was engraved with golden dragons. They were vivid and lifelike, as if they were swimming.
Even without a deep understanding, one could tell that the Golden Battle Armor was extraordinary.
"Let's go!"
Without even thinking, Qin Aotian strode forward, and the others quickly followed.
The White Dragon Palace's Zhong Li was very experienced. He wanted to say something but did not say it in the end.
He wanted to say that this place looked strange and that they should not enter rashly.
However, seeing Qin Aotian's interest, Zhong Li could not bring himself to say anything. Furthermore, they still had to rely on Qin Aotian to help them enter the city.
"Senior Brother, do you think we will run into Xiao Chen's group?"
Liu Yunfei asked somewhat nervously. He felt that if Xiao Chen's group came to Desolate God Valley, they would definitely enter this city as well.
Zhong Li said indifferently, "He better pray that I don't see him. Humph!"
Zhong Li had just obtained a fortuitous encounter, greatly increasing his strength. He was very confident that if he ran into Xiao Chen, he would be able to squash him to death with one finger.
One hour later, Xiao Chen, Liu Ruyun, and Situ Changfeng met up and explained what they saw.
After Situ Changfeng heard Xiao Chen's explanation, he said sullenly, "It looks like it is as I thought. The four city gates each have their own mysteries. We cannot enter rashly; we have to choose carefully."
Xiao Chen looked around. The east gate in front of him had faint purple Qi lingering around it. He could even see a faint spiritual light with the naked eye.
It looked auspicious. However, there was an unremarkable tower on the city wall.
It happened to be able to suppress the Luck of the entire area. The auspicious gate was countered, but the auspicious gate was not auspicious.
After Xiao Chen gave a simple explanation of his opinion, Situ Changfeng exclaimed in shock, "Xiao Chen, you have done some research on the Dragon Seeking Art?"
Xiao Chen answered honestly, "I know a little. However, don't overthink it. This ancient city appeared out of nowhere. There is nothing mysterious about it. I believe that this is a small trick that the original owner left behind. He knew that someone would come here, so he set it up. Every time we enter a gate, there will be a different test. There is no truly auspicious gate. Everyone has to go through a test. We just need to avoid the ominous gate. "
"Right, I have the same opinion as well. However, speaking of which, why are Brother Wei and Brother Duan not here? "Situ Changfeng asked, finding it strange.
One hour had already passed, but the two still had not appeared.
"We are here."
Right after Situ Changfeng spoke, Wei Hongfei and Duan Fei showed somewhat sullen expressions.
"When a group of people saw that we were Dragon Race cultivators, they attacked us without saying anything. Fortunately, our strength increased significantly during this period. Otherwise, we would not have been able to retreat unscathed. "
Wei Hongfei's expression was unsightly. Clearly, the earlier experience was not as simple as he made it out to be.
"That group of people seems to be observing the ancient city, just like us. They probably have accomplices. We have to be careful after we enter the city, "Duan Fei analyzed.
"They attacked without saying anything? In that case, it looks like they are mortal enemies of the Dragon Race. That is good. It is better for them to expose themselves in advance than to be sneak-attacked after we enter the city. "
The Dragon Race did not have many mortal enemies, but there were still many. Before they entered the city, there were already undercurrents.
This was not a good sign.
"Let's enter through the south gate. The other three gates are fake auspicious and real ominous. The north gate is the true ominous gate. The west gate is very auspicious. However, it is hard to determine whether it is auspicious or ominous. The south gate is neither auspicious nor ominous. This is actually the best. "
After listening to what Wei Hongfei and Duan Fei saw, Xiao Chen made his choice.
"Alright, let's enter through the south gate, then."
There was no way to fly above the city, so they could only enter through the city gates.
"What dense Spiritual Energy!"
Xiao Chen originally thought that this was a dead city. However, after entering, he discovered that it was very different from what he imagined.
The Spiritual Energy in this city was even denser than the Spiritual Energy at the Profound Dragon Platform in the Heaven Dragon Palace.
"So many years have passed, and the original master died long ago. I wonder what still maintains the Spiritual Energy in this city?"
Situ Changfeng said, feeling somewhat suspicious as he looked around.
"There are so many corpses!"
Many pairs of clearly lifeless cultivators wearing armor wandered the streets.
Their flesh had already rotted away, leaving only empty skeletons wearing heavy armor. Some of them even rode skeleton horses, looking very scary.
These were all cultivators who had followed the original master when he was alive. However, after they died, they existed in such a manner. This looked somewhat sorrowful.
The Spiritual Energy was clearly abundant. However, these corpses told everyone that this was a dead city.
The two seemed to contradict each other.
The group had just entered the city when a group of wandering corpses charged at them.
Clearly, there was no advantage in fighting with corpses. This was especially so for these corpses. They had followed the True God when they were alive, making them even more difficult to deal with after they died. "Dang! Dang!
Dang! "
All sorts of attacks landed on these corpses. Their armor clanged, but the corpses remained undamaged.
Murong Yan punched one of the corpses' armor. That armor gave off a clump of light, actually neutralizing most of Murong Yan's fist light.
"What kind of armor is this? To think that the formations in it can still operate!"
This development startled Murong Yan. However, the corpses surrounding him did not react much, continuing to attack him.
"I'll burn you all to death! Red Dragon True Flame! "
Murong Yan sent out a fierce sea of fire. While it looked mighty, it was useless.
Xiao Chen and the others were not the only ones in a bitter battle. The many cultivators who entered from the southern city could not even take care of themselves. Many of them cried out miserably.
The corpses mercilessly killed them and dismembered them on the spot.
The group had just entered the ancient city, and they already met with such an obstruction. This caught them off guard.
The southern gate was already so dangerous. What would the ominous gate encounter? The group did not dare to imagine.
"Damn! What the heck is this? Quickly go back! Quickly go back!"
Qin Aotian and the others ran frantically. After they entered the eastern city, they discovered a blood rain falling from the sky.
When the blood rain fell, it would automatically gather and form a blood monster. After killing the blood monster, it would quickly form again. Nearly half of the cultivators who entered from the eastern gate died the instant they entered the city.
What was even more horrifying was that when the blood rain landed on the body, it would corrode the Veritable Essence Energy. When the blood rain landed on the body, it would immediately corrode large amounts of flesh, revealing white bones.
The weaker cultivators could not endure this blood rain at all. The stronger cultivators could hold on for a while at first. However, when they discovered that something was wrong, their Veritable Essence Energy could not withstand this blood rain.
Zhen Yuan simply could not withstand the consumption, the east gate was simply a dead end.
They could only retreat and take their time to think about it, choosing another gate to enter.
However, there was also someone who slowly advanced with a calm expression amid the blood rain.
That person wore white monk robes and held a string of azure beads in his hand. People continuously passed by him. They were people who could not endure the blood rain and were rushing back to the city.
"Great fortuitous encounters are bound to be places of great suffering. Let's see what is at the end of this path."
This person wore white monk robes and had delicate features. He had a calm and serene expression.
The middle finger and ring finger of this person's right hand were bent, and a string of azure Buddhist beads hung from the two fingers. The white-clad monk shouted as he performed a strange hand seal and pushed forward ferociously.
"Black Lotus Secret Technique, Cleansing Extermination!"
A light flashed, and a horrifying Buddhist Might burst out from his hand. The Buddhist light burned and purified all the blood monsters charging at him, turning them into filth that spread out and could no longer reform.
A lotus appeared under the white-clad monk's feet as he continued walking forward calmly.
As Qin Aotian and the others rushed back, they brushed past the white-clad monk. Zhong Li looked at this person with some surprise.
When Zhong Li's gaze met, he felt a deep fear, so he quickly looked away.
Where did this monk come from? Why is he so powerful? Why does that black lotus under his feet seem somewhat familiar?
