Yan Dong, Ah Sheng, and the rest also saw the beam of light that shot into the sky in the Valley of the Wind.
"There's a light in the Valley of Wind. Could it be that the legendary mystic realm in the Valley of Wind has appeared?" Ah Sheng couldn't help but say when he saw the light.
"It should be," the other person said.
"Brother Dong, why don't we go in? Junior Brother Lin will probably go too. When we see him, we can tell him that Senior Brother Ma, Senior Brother Meng, and the rest are going to deal with him and tell him to be careful," Ah Sheng said again.
"Alright, let's go in." Yan Dong nodded immediately.
If the mystic realm really appeared, he would naturally be interested in the things inside.
Of course, the three of them quickly walked into the Valley of Wind.
Not long after the two of them walked in, Ma Tiancheng, Meng Yun, and the rest appeared at the entrance of the valley. They naturally saw the light inside.
After a short pause, the group of people rushed towards the place where the light had shot up into the sky from before.
At this moment, the person inside explained to Linlong after accepting the 1,000 black crystal stones, "Legend has it that there's a mystic realm in the Valley of Wind. It's the place we're in now. There's a sword skill in the mystic realm that can be practiced by people of any level. With it, one can completely defeat people stronger than oneself."
"Is that so?" Linlong couldn't help but be surprised.
Having been in the Institute of Runes for so long, he knew that only people above the Silver rank would have suitable sword skills to practice. In other words, people below the Silver rank wouldn't have any sword skills to practice, unlike those footwork skills, where every level had suitable footwork skills to practice.
If one could master a certain sword skill, one's strength would definitely be stronger than people of the same level. It was no wonder that these people immediately ran over when they saw the mystic realm appear.
"Is this just a legend? Has anyone obtained this sword skill?" Linlong asked.
"Legend has it that someone obtained this sword skill, but that person later died and the sword skill's whereabouts are unknown," the person in front of him said.
"Then where is this sword skill in the mystic realm?" Linlong asked.
The person before him said, "It is said that there are many ancient ruins in this secret plane. Some of these ancient ruins contain incomplete copies of secret manuals of sword skills. Only when these incomplete copies are gathered together will they be able to form a complete secret manual of sword skills. In other words, it is impossible to cultivate just one of them."
"Is that so." Linlong nodded and then asked, "How many incomplete copies will there be in total?"
"I don't know about that." The man shook his head.
"I understand," Linlong said.
However, the other party continued, "However, other than these incomplete copies, it is said that there are still incomplete maps of some places in the Arcane Realm?"
"An incomplete map?" Linlong was puzzled.
"These maps will mark out the ancient ruins in the secret plane. Sometimes, they will even mark out the existence of an incomplete sword technique in the ancient ruins. In other words, if we can find such a map, the chances of obtaining the complete sword technique will be higher. Otherwise, it will take forever to find so many ancient ruins," the other party replied.
After hearing Lin Long's words, Lin Long finally understood. "Thank you, Senior Brother."
If the other party had only mentioned the ancient ruins after obtaining the mystical crystal stones and nothing else, Lin Long would have been helpless. After all, he knew nothing about these things. It seemed that the person before him was more honest.
"Senior Brother, why didn't they say anything when I asked them? Instead, you told me everything you knew?" Linlong asked.
He didn't think that the other party was simply lacking mystical crystal stones.
Hearing Linlong's words, the other party smiled bitterly and said, "I know my own limits. With my strength, there is no way I can obtain the sword techniques inside. There are not only many Iron sword rank people, but there are also Silver rank people. Since I know that it is impossible for me to obtain them, why not seek some benefits for myself?"
"That's right." Linlong nodded.
"Of course, there is one more thing. I like you, Junior Brother," the other party said with a smile.
Linlong also smiled and then asked, "How should I address you, Senior Brother?"
"My surname is Song Le," the other party said.
"So it is Senior Brother Song. My surname is Lin, and my name is Li," Linlong replied.
"So it is Junior Brother Lin."
As they spoke, a few more people approached. Looking at them, Song Le couldn't help but say, "Another Silver rank Senior Brother is here!"
Without needing Song Le to say anything, Linlong could already tell that one of them had the strength of a Silver rank.
As he looked at them, Linlong asked, "Senior Brother Song, when will the secret plane open?"
"Very soon. I heard that it will open in about half an hour after the aperture appears," Song Le said.
"Half an hour? That means that only those from the Valley of Wind and those close to it can rush over," Linlong said.
"That's right." Song Le nodded and then said, "That may be the case, but it is more difficult to obtain the sword technique in there than in other places. This is because many of the strong people in the Copper and Iron World will be gathered in the Valley of Wind."
Linlong knew that the other party was right. Although the Valley of Wind was dangerous, it was the easiest place to obtain mystical crystal stones.
It could be said that other than the campsite, there were not as many Silver rank people in the Copper and Iron World.
Soon, a few more people came, and one of them was a Silver-ranked person.
After a while, Linlong realized that the three people who rushed over were Yan Dong, Ah Sheng, and Yan Dong, who said that they were going to leave.
Linlong felt that they must have rushed back after seeing the light.
"Junior Brother Lin, it's really nice to see you here," Ah Sheng said happily when he saw Linlong from afar.
Soon, the three of them came to Linlong's side.
Song Le was obviously not familiar with Yan Dong and the other two, so he only nodded when he saw them.
Ah Sheng came to Linlong's ear and whispered, "Junior Brother Lin, there's something I have to tell you."
"Oh, what is it?" Linlong couldn't help but ask when he saw Ah Sheng's expression.
"When we went out just now, we bumped into Ma Tiancheng, Meng Yun, and the others. They asked us if we had seen you, and it seemed like they were going to cause trouble for you. We lied to them and said that we had not seen you, but now that they saw the light, they will definitely rush over, so you have to be careful," Ah Sheng said.
"Who are Ma Tiancheng and Meng Yun?" Linlong was puzzled.
"They are from the guard team, and they have the strength of a Silver rank," Ah Sheng said.
"Someone from the guard team? Silver-tier?" Linlong frowned. He recalled the person who had followed him out earlier.
He guessed that it was either Ma Tiancheng or Meng Yun.
"That's right." Ah Sheng nodded.
"Then stay away from me for now," Linlong said immediately.
According to Ah Sheng, the two of them and the people they brought with them would be here soon. Since Ah Sheng and the others had lied to them previously, if they were to stand together with him now, it would definitely arouse their suspicions. When that happened, it would definitely not be good for Ah Sheng, Yan Dong, and the others.
Of course, even if Ah Sheng, Yan Dong, and the other two wanted to help him, it would be better to help him secretly.
Only a fool would directly expose their relationship like this.
Yan Dong and Ah Sheng were also aware of this, so they immediately agreed. "Alright."
After saying that, they deliberately stood on the other side.
Just as they stood there, another group of people came from their direction. Linlong frowned when he saw them because two of them had the strength of a Silver rank.
Looking at Yan Dong and Ah Sheng's expressions, he knew that this group of people were Ma Tiancheng, Meng Yun, and the others.
When they approached, Linlong also felt that one of them was very familiar. It was obviously the person who had followed him out previously.
And after sweeping his gaze across everyone's faces, it stopped on Linlong's face. At this moment, he clearly revealed a joyful expression.
Even though he had concealed it well, Linlong could see it clearly.
After the few of them came over, they stood beside Linlong. As for Song Le, he naturally noticed that something was amiss. However, he still greeted these people politely.
Of course, he did not know what was going on because he did not hear what Linlong and Ah Sheng had said previously.
After coming over, Linlong realized that the person would look at him from time to time.
Thinking about it, it should be because there were so many people now. It was not easy to make a move in front of so many people, otherwise, this person would have directly charged over. Linlong thought to himself.
He guessed right. Ma Tiancheng was worried that there were many people now. Not only were there many people, but there were also Silver rank people among them. If he were to casually attack a junior brother, it would definitely attract criticism.
His plan was to wait for Linlong to enter the mystic realm before finding an opportunity to make a move. After all, the enemy was in the dark while he was in the light.
Little did he know that Linlong already knew what he wanted to do.
After a while, more people came. In the end, there were a total of more than 60 people. Apart from Ma Tiancheng and Meng Yun, there were also three people at the Silver rank.
The number of people did not surprise Linlong. After all, many people wanted to come here to obtain Mystic Crystal Ores even though it was very dangerous.
After waiting for so many people to arrive, the circle of light that had been very quiet all along suddenly moved. The repulsive force from before suddenly disappeared.
After knowing that they could enter, everyone at the scene rushed towards the circle of light.
As for Linlong, he also followed. When he went over, he pretended to avoid the people in front and went around Ma Tiancheng and the others.
He did this naturally because he was afraid that Ma Tiancheng and the others would suddenly attack him when he passed by.
Just like that, Linlong entered the mystic realm ahead of Ma Tiancheng and the others.
Ma Tiancheng had already told Meng Yun and the others who Linlong was. Once he saw Linlong go over, he immediately led Meng Yun and the others over.
When Linlong rushed into the circle of light, they also rushed in.
After a flash of light, Linlong found himself in a mountain forest. There was no one around him.
Obviously, this mystic realm appeared in a random place.
He could not help but heave a sigh of relief because this way, he would not have been chased by Ma Tiancheng and the others right from the start.
After observing his surroundings for a while, Linlong walked forward.
He had only taken a few steps when an iron sword rank ferocious beast appeared in front of him. As soon as it saw him, this iron sword rank ferocious beast immediately rushed over.
An iron sword rank ferocious beast was naturally no match for Linlong. It was easily taken care of by Linlong.
After killing this ferocious beast, Linlong continued to walk forward.
After walking for a while, he felt a different aura. That aura was coming from a place not far to his right.
This feeling made Linlong's face reveal a hint of joy. This was because according to what Song Le had told him just now, this aura should have come from those ancient ruins.
At that moment, Linlong walked in that direction.
Not long after, he came to a pit. Apart from weeds growing here, there were also two large rocks.
After arriving here, Linlong confirmed that the unique aura was coming from these two large rocks.
After studying these two large rocks for a while, Linlong slapped one of them a few times.
After a few slaps, there was a cracking sound. In between the two rocks, there was a crack about ten feet wide. Then, a staircase leading downwards appeared.
There was a faint light coming from the bottom of the staircase. After using his Divine Will to detect that there was no danger, Linlong immediately walked down.
After walking for about seven to eight feet, a small stone room appeared. There was a Night Illumination Pearl embedded in the ceiling of the stone room, so it was very bright inside.
The stone room was empty. Apart from some words on the surrounding stone walls, there was nothing else in it.
Linlong immediately walked to one of the stone walls and looked at it. After a few glances, he found that it was just very ordinary words without any meaning. He then turned to the other walls and found the same ordinary words.
It seemed that there was nothing useful in this stone room.
However, Linlong was still very cautious and knocked on various parts of the stone wall. After a long time, he still did not find anything.
After confirming that there was nothing valuable, Linlong directly left.
Linlong was somewhat speechless about the so-called ancient ruins that Song Le mentioned.
After walking out along the stairs, Linlong circled the outside twice. He wanted to find some obvious signs, but it was obvious that the outside looked very ordinary.
After that, Linlong left the place and continued to move forward.
This time, after walking for half an hour, he still did not find anything. He did not even encounter a single ferocious beast.
Could it be that there were ancient ruins around places with ferocious beasts? With this thought in mind, Linlong simply released the bamboo rat.
In a situation where his Divine Will was restricted, the bamboo rat's sense of smell was obviously more effective.
Soon, the bamboo rat sensed the existence of a ferocious beast on the left side, and Linlong immediately headed in that direction.
Not long after, he saw two Iron Sword-level ferocious beasts.
As soon as they saw him, the two ferocious beasts pounced on him. Linlong immediately used the Iron Stripe Steps and killed the two ferocious beasts after a fierce battle.
After killing the two ferocious beasts, Linlong searched the vicinity. What made him frown was that he did not find any ancient ruins.
Could it be that it had nothing to do with the ferocious beasts?
However, Linlong did not give up. He still let the bamboo rat sense it. Not long after, the bamboo rat sensed the existence of a ferocious beast not far away. Linlong immediately headed in that direction.
