The moment the sandstorm stopped, Feng Hao had already walked out of the cave. However, the scene that appeared in front of him caused him to be stunned for a moment.
A spatial vortex, about the height of a man, had appeared in the desert at an unknown time. Fenghao closed his eyes and sensed that the fluctuations of the spatial energy inside were extremely unstable, as if they could disappear at any moment.
Feng Hao looked at the spatial vortex that had appeared in front of him in puzzlement. Although he did not know where this spatial vortex led to, he could tell from the fluctuations that it was slowly weakening. It seemed to have a time limit.
At the same time, Wu Liang and the other two from the academy had also stepped into the Barren Desert. Fortunately, they did not encounter this sandstorm. However, just like Feng Hao, they also encountered a spatial vortex.
"Aren't we a little too lucky? These spatial vortexes mean that they lead to the ruins of an Ancient Sage. Looks like a sandstorm had just passed through this Desolate Desert, causing some changes to the space around it, forming an entrance."
Wu Wang said with a frown. This situation wasn't foreign to the academy. They were even more familiar with the Desolate Desert. In the distant past, some of the experts who had followed their ancestors to establish the Zhenwu Continent didn't choose to live in the academy or the Taoist temple. Instead, they chose to build their own ancient tombs in the Desolate Desert when they were about to die. This situation was called the Ancient Sacred Ruins by them.
Countless years had passed. Some Ancient Saint Ruins had been discovered, and many martial artists had obtained the inheritance of an Ancient Saint. However, many more people had been completely buried in the Barren Desert, never to return. This was also the reason why the Barren Desert was so sparsely populated. Moreover, the Barren Desert was where the restrictions of the entire True Martial Continent were located. Regardless of whether it was the academy or the Taoist temple, the disciples of the restriction sects would enter the Barren Desert to search for the Ancient Saint Ruins.
"Guess how many entrances have appeared in the Ancient Saint Ruins this time?" Wu Liang looked at Wu Wang with a smile.
"I'm not sure. However, according to the academy's records, every time the Ancient Saint Ruins appear, these spatial vortexes will last for about an hour. Moreover, they will be randomly distributed within the Barren Desert. At least five entrances will appear at the same time, and at most eight entrances." Wu Wang pondered for a moment.
"If Xu Wu is in the Barren Desert, could he be waiting for the Ancient Sacred Relic to appear and then enter it?" Wuliang said what he was thinking. "That's right.
Wu Wang and Wu Wo were stunned for a moment after hearing their words. Soon after, they also thought about the possibility of it being true. Although not everyone in the True Martial Continent knew about the prophecy, anyone with a certain level of cultivation would be able to come into contact with it. If Xu Wu knew that the academy and the Daoist temple were looking for him, it was possible that he would come to the Barren Desert and wait for the Ancient Saint Ruins to open.
"But if we're wrong, we'll have to stay in the Ancient Sage ruins for a period of time before we can come out when the next spatial vortex appears. If Xu Wu and Li Xiangtian from the Daoist Temple didn't enter the ruins, we'll have missed an opportunity," Wu Wo calmed down and analyzed.
"Indeed." Wu Liang said with a frown. However, at this moment, the spatial vortex that appeared in front of them flickered slightly. Then, the three of them were stunned.
The signs of the spatial vortex earlier meant that someone had entered the Ancient Saint Ruins from another spatial vortex in the Barren Desert.
"Usually, even the disciples of the academy and the Taoist temple are rarely allowed to enter the Barren Desert. There should be no one else in the entire Barren Desert. Either Xu Wu has entered, or Li Xiangtian and Huangfu Wushuang have entered."
Wu Liang's expression turned solemn. He looked at the gradually weakening spatial vortex and said to the two, "Now, we have to bet on whether Xu Wu has also entered the spatial vortex."
Wu Liang was right. Feng Hao had indeed entered the spatial vortex. In fact, it could even be said that he did not want to enter on his own accord. When he approached the spatial vortex, something strange happened in his body. However, before he could react, the spatial vortex produced a suction force that directly sucked his entire body into the spatial vortex.
Ever since Feng Hao entered the spatial vortex, the spatial vortexes that appeared in other parts of the Barren Desert flickered. Moreover, the speed at which they weakened greatly increased, as if they could disappear at any time.
Like Wu Liang, Li Xiangtian and Huangfu Wushuang were also waiting to make a decision. This was because a spatial vortex had also appeared in front of them. Li Xiangtian was the eldest disciple of the Taoist temple, so he was also very clear about these matters. However, both he and Huangfu Wushuang were uncertain whether Feng Hao had entered the spatial vortex or not.
Even though there were signs that someone had entered the spatial vortex, the cautious Li Xiangtian did not hastily come to a conclusion. Instead, he frowned and pondered. If the person who had entered the Ancient Saint Ruins was not Feng Hao, then their operation to kill Feng Hao could be said to have failed.
"Aren't you proficient in the Xiangtian technique? See if you can deduce Feng Hao's current position." Huangfu Wushuang's desire to kill Feng Hao had never weakened. In particular, she could not forget the Immortal Mansion inheritance in Feng Hao's body.
Hearing this, Li Xiangtian shook his head and smiled bitterly. "The Xiangtian technique is unable to deduce anything about Feng Hao. The last time, I only saw the back of Feng Hao before it was forcefully interrupted by some kind of power. If you did not recognize Feng Hao's back, no one would know that Feng Hao had entered the Barren Desert."
"How likely is it that Feng Hao has entered these vortexes?" Huangfu Wushuang was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do. She could only rely on her deduction.
"More than half." Li Xiangtian's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the weakening spatial vortexes. "Even in the eyes of the two overlord factions, the Barren Desert is a terrifying place. Both of them will restrict their disciples from approaching the Barren Desert. The ripples earlier indicate that someone has entered. Other than Feng Hao, I really can't think of anyone else."
"Since that's the case, let's take a gamble." Huangfu Wushuang coldly said. Since there was a great opportunity, they naturally could not let it go. Li Xiangtian nodded and stepped into the spatial vortexes together with Huangfu Wushuang.
After they disappeared, Wuliang and the other two looked at each other. From the ripples of the spatial vortexes, it seemed that someone else had entered the ruins. Therefore, they immediately concluded that either Xu Wu or Li Xiangtian had entered.
