Although the majestic city was dilapidated, its ancient aura still shocked Gu Fei. There was no doubt that this was an ancient city that had stood on this land for countless years.
Under the hazy night, the ancient city was lifeless. There was no light, no vitality, and no trace of people. It was like a dead city. This made Gu Fei and the old tortoise very afraid.
However, just as Gu Fei and the old tortoise were planning to bypass the ancient city, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the ancient city, and then a ball of colorful light exploded in the sky above the ancient city.
The gorgeous light broke through the gray smoke above the ancient city and illuminated the sky in an instant. Such a strong light could be clearly seen even from hundreds of kilometers away.
Under the illumination of the colorful light, Gu Fei could vaguely make out some hazy scenes in the city. The streets were dilapidated, the houses had collapsed, and the pavilions were half-destroyed. It was as if this ancient city had been abandoned for countless years.
"Swoosh!" Gu Fei directly rushed down the hillside, leaving an afterimage on the spot, and ran like the wind and lightning toward the dark city gate that had opened up.
The colorful light that shot into the sky from the ancient city was a distress signal sent by a low-level disciple of the Supreme Mystery Sect to the nearby fellow disciples when they were in danger.
After all, the fire talisman message transmission technique of low-level disciples could not be transmitted more than a hundred kilometers because of the limitations of their cultivation realm, but the colorful flames could be clearly seen by their fellow disciples within a hundred kilometers.
Therefore, when entering the Ruins Sky Realm, Gu Fei and the others carried this kind of signal flame that could emit strong light with them in case of emergency.
Gu Fei could not turn a blind eye to his fellow disciples in danger. Gu Fei practiced martial arts and walked the path of martial arts, which emphasized freedom and freedom. Wherever his heart went, he would put it into action without any restraints.
Without any hesitation, Gu Fei rushed toward the ancient city full of unknown dangers.
"Brat, come back quickly!" When the old tortoise saw Gu Fei rushing down the hill, it anxiously stomped its feet. There was definitely an unknown danger in this dilapidated ancient city. No one knew what would happen if they rashly entered.
From Old Tortoise's point of view, putting oneself in danger for a stranger was the stupidest thing to do, unless one wanted to be a hero.
Of course, Old Tortoise did not want to be a hero. It was not easy to be a hero. It was very likely that he would fail to be a hero in the end and lose his life instead.
Gu Fei turned a deaf ear to Old Tortoise's shouts. His body swayed a few times and he rushed into the city gate. The hillside outside the city was not far from the city gate.
"F * ck! Why am I so unlucky? " Old Tortoise saw Gu Fei's figure disappear into the pitch-black city gate. Although he was extremely reluctant, he still rushed down the hill and chased after Gu Fei.
Old Tortoise's current cultivation base was less than one-ten-thousandth of his peak, and his cultivation base was suppressed to the Self-Awakening State by the power of heaven and earth here. If he wanted to leave the Ruin Sky Realm, he would have to rely on Gu Fei's help.
If Gu Fei was lost in the ancient city, it would be tantamount to cutting off Old Tortoise's way out. Old Tortoise did not want to be trapped in this world forever, which was something he absolutely did not want to see. Therefore, he could only follow Gu Fei and rush into the ancient city.
The colorful light above the ancient city had gradually dissipated, and the gray mist that resembled the aura of death had once again shrouded the entire enormous ancient city.
On a rocky hill that was only a few hundred feet tall about twenty to thirty miles away from the ancient city, a Daoist with a sword on his back and a handsome appearance was coldly looking at the colorful light above the ancient city that was about to completely disappear. The corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile.
He was a slender middle-aged Daoist dressed in a green Daoist robe. Behind him stood five white-robed youths who were also carrying swords on their backs.
In the world of dao, only the Guangcheng Immortal Sect was known as the orthodox Sword Dao. There was only one sword in all kinds of Divine Abilities. With a sword in hand, one could break through all kinds of Divine Arts, and even gods and demons would have to flee.
The Daoist with a sword on his back on the rocky hill was Liu Ruhai of the Guangcheng Immortal Sect. The five white-robed youths with small swords embroidered on their sleeves behind him were five of the ten disciples who had entered the Ruin Sky Realm.
Among the five disciples, the two leading them were the eldest senior brother Ren Wuming and Liu Yunhe of the Guangcheng Immortal Sect's younger generation.
In the Ruin Sky Realm, Liu Ruhai's cultivation base was also confined to the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Awakening, and the power of the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Transcending Mortality was firmly confined in his body.
As soon as he used the power of the Transcending Mortality realm, the power of the world in the Ruin Sky Realm would immediately gather from all directions and obliterate the power that disregarded the laws of the world in the Ruin Sky Realm.
This put Liu Ruhai in great danger. If he had not immediately dispersed the power of the Transcending Mortality realm, he might have been obliterated by the power of the world and completely disappeared from the world.
Even the life-bound flying sword that had merged with the sword origin in his body was forced out of his body by the power of the world in the Ruin Sky Realm, unable to fuse with the sword origin in his body again. Liu Ruhai had no choice but to carry the sword on his back.
Ren Wuming stepped forward and respectfully said to Liu Ruhai, "Uncle-Master, the fireworks coming from the ancient city ahead seem to be a distress signal from the Taixuan Sect. Should we go and help them?"
"Go and help them? Why should we go and help them! " Liu Ruhai slowly turned around and looked at Ren Wuming. His eyes were like two divine swords that shone on Ren Wuming's body.
To be a cultivator, one had to sever all emotions and desires, and focus on comprehending the Immortal Way. The life and death of others did not matter.
Under Liu Ruhai's extremely sharp gaze, Ren Wuming felt the sword origin in his body tremble, and his whole body suddenly felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave. A chill ran up his spine, and all the pores on his body stood on end.
Liu Ruhai intentionally or unintentionally revealed the power of a superior sword cultivator, which not only made Ren Wuming's heart palpitate, but also the expressions of the other four youths changed.
"But … judging from the marks left by Junior Sister Li and the others, Junior Sister Li and the other junior brothers seem to be with the people of the Taixuan Sect!" Ren Wuming hesitated for a moment. Although he was frightened under Liu Ruhai's gaze, he still said this in the end.
"Ah!" Liu Ruhai sighed, and his gaze that was sharp like the edge of a sword started to become gentle. "It's not that I'm refusing to lend a hand, but there's really an extremely great danger within this enormous ancient city. If even we fall into it, then who would complete the assignment the Sect Master and Founding Ancestor gave us?" Liu Ruhai had a helpless expression.
"This …" Ren Wuming, Liu Yunhe, and the other four disciples couldn't help but look at each other. For a moment, they didn't know what to say. Everyone was silent.
Liu Ruhai glanced at the five disciples in front of him, then said in a low voice, "Go around the Ancient City and continue to Heaven Burial Valley. After obtaining the Nine-Colored Immortal Herb, we will come back to save them."
Liu Ruhai made such a decision. In the eyes of Ren Wuming and the other four disciples, this Martial Uncle was inevitably a bit cold and heartless. However, Liu Ruhai had given them the task of being the Sect Master, so they couldn't say anything. They could only pray that their fellow sect members who were lost in the ancient city would be able to escape.
The people of the Guangcheng Immortal Sect, under Liu Ruhai's lead, went around the city. In another direction, the disciples of the Shangqing Sect, led by Ding Yangzi, also saw the distress signal from the Ancient City.
Ding Yangzi also made the same decision as Liu Ruhai. They went around the city and did not want to help.
In the face of profit, all the talk about solidarity and interdependence seemed to be bullsh * t. It was as if Liu Ruhai, Ding Yangzi, and the others had tossed all of this to the back of their minds.
Even if their fellow sect members were lost in the ancient city, they didn't think of a way to save them, leaving them to fend for themselves. This was the cruelty of the cultivation world.
It could also be said that this was an expression of the cold and heartless side of human nature. If the people of the Taixuan Sect who were lost in the ancient city knew of the actions of the Guangcheng Immortal Sect and the Shangqing Sect, there would definitely be a gap between the two sides.
If the disciples of the Guangcheng Immortal Sect who were lost in the ancient city knew of Liu Ruhai's ruthlessness, they would also be bitterly disappointed.
The people who were lost in the ancient city were completely cut off from help. No one would care about their life or death, and no one would extend a helping hand. Of course, Gu Fei was an exception, and the Old Tortoise could barely be considered half an exception.
The moment he rushed into the ancient city, Gu Fei felt a gust of cold wind hit him in the face. He looked up and saw that the sky was gray, as if it was wrapped in a layer of death.
The dark street was empty and quiet. On both sides of the street, there were dilapidated houses. The cold wind blew over, and from time to time, the creaking sounds of broken doors and windows being blown by the wind could be heard.
In the corner of the wall, the wind picked up a few wisps of smoke and dust, which circled a few times before dissipating.
The deathly silence made Gu Fei feel a great pressure. His footsteps slowed down. The ancient city was full of vicissitudes. He carefully walked along the ancient street.
At this moment, the Old Tortoise also rushed into the ancient city reluctantly. It came to Gu Fei's side and looked around. "This damn place …" The Old Tortoise was extremely solemn. It was no longer its usual joking and scolding self.
They walked along the street for a few miles. Apart from the cold wind that blew from time to time, there was nothing unusual in the city. Where were those people lost?
After walking along the ancient street for about seven to eight miles, they still could not see the end of the street. It was enough to show how huge the ancient city was.
However, Gu Fei and the Old Tortoise gradually became uneasy. The Old Tortoise had taken out its stone turtle shell, which could smash heaven and earth but would never hit itself, and held it tightly in its hand.
Meanwhile, Gu Fei guided the Spirit Qi of the Heavenly Weapon out of his body and condensed an ancient sword shadow on his right hand.
What made Gu Fei and the Old Tortoise feel like they were facing a formidable enemy? This was because Gu Fei and the Old Tortoise saw white bones that were as clear as jade scattered on the ground on the street.
These white bones were no different from the Immortal God Skeletons that they had seen in the ancient battlefield. They were all as clear as fine jade.
The appearance of such white bones on the street made Gu Fei and the Old Tortoise extremely nervous. After all, they were not ordinary bones, but Immortal God Skeletons.
In other words, a large number of Immortals had fallen in the ancient city, which was why so many Immortal God Skeletons were left behind. However, none of the Immortal God Skeletons scattered on the street were complete.
Upon seeing this, Gu Fei and the Old Tortoise were slightly relieved. If they were not complete Immortal God Skeletons, they did not have to worry about them suddenly hurting people.
In the ancient battlefield, there were undead creatures that were not completely dead. No one knew if those undead creatures would also appear in the ancient city.
"Clang!"
"Clang, clang!"
"Buzz!"
All of a sudden, the sound of metal clashing and swords humming could be heard from the depths of the ancient street. Then, Gu Fei and the Old Tortoise sensed the fluctuation of Mana and Sword Qi coming from the front.
"It's in front!" Gu Fei and the Old Tortoise immediately became spirited and quickly rushed in the direction of the sound. "Peng!" Five-colored rays of light burst out from Gu Fei's body, forming a layer of Qi Aura outside his body. The powerful fluctuation of Yuan Qi blocked the chilly wind that was sweeping towards him.
When they got closer, Gu Fei found that there were more than ten people in white fighting fiercely with a group of people in ragged clothes who seemed to be soldiers with spears in their hands.
"This …" Gu Fei was shocked. The group of people wielding ancient spears were real soldiers who had fought on the battlefield. The tattered clothes on their bodies were not clothes, but broken armors.
Every soldier was nine feet tall, and they stood proudly like moving mountains. As they waved the rusty ancient spears in their hands, they actually had an indomitable and powerful aura.
"There is no fluctuation of life. They are a group of lifeless walking corpses!" The Old Tortoise said in surprise. He was also stunned by the scene in front of him.
Their eyes were grey and lifeless, and their skin that was exposed to the air was deathly white. This group of soldiers were simply corpse soldiers that had crawled out of their graves.
In the ancient city, there was a force controlling these Corpse Soldiers!
This group of Corpse Soldiers that had obviously died for countless years were extremely powerful. When they waved the ancient spears in their hands, they seemed to be able to emit a terrifying power, forcing the more than ten people in white to retreat. Many people's clothes were already stained with blood.
Ancient and broken armor, rusty ancient spears. This group of Corpse Soldiers might be the Corpse Soldiers that guarded the ancient city, but for some reason, they had turned into walking corpses.
Even though they had been dead for countless years, these Corpse Soldiers still faithfully guarded the ancient city, expelling outsiders who dared to set foot in the ancient city.
Five dazzling sword lights fiercely collided with the ancient spears in the hands of the Corpse Soldiers. The white flying swords also could not shake the ancient spears, and were either directly knocked away or swept away by the ancient spears.
Among the people surrounded by the Corpse Soldiers, Gu Fei found Dan Chenzi, Li Lingfeng, Zi Yu, Dongfang Chen, Lei Ao, Qin Daoyun, Song Ruochen, and Xia Wushang, eight people from his own sect.
Shen Qiru and Guo Bufan were not among them.
As for the other five, Gu Fei only recognized them as disciples of the Guangcheng Celestial Sect. One of them was a beautiful girl with long hair and flying sword lights. She was Li Mengyao, the junior sister of Guangcheng.
Magical treasures and flying swords bombarded the bodies of these ancient Corpse Soldiers, but they did not even leave a mark. These Corpse Soldiers seemed to have indestructible bodies that were difficult to destroy and indelible.
This made everyone's heart cold. These ancient Corpse Soldiers were simply invincible. The experts of the Taixuan Sect and the Guangcheng Celestial Sect were already in danger.
Moreover, there were faint sounds of heavy footsteps coming from all directions. It seemed that there were countless terrifying Corpse Soldiers coming this way.
