Ancient Loulan had built Loulan City in the Ancient Barren World. For countless years, Ancient Loulan had controlled this ancient city. They'd even built a palace in the city. It was said that it led directly to the real Loulan palace in the outside world.
Rumor had it that Ancient Loulan had mobilized so many people to control the palace and didn't allow anyone to touch it. Even the top forces from the Barren City couldn't shake Ancient Loulan's position in this city. There was only one reason: the Loulan Relic.
The Ancient Loulan Relic was one of the most famous relics in Loulan City. It was said that there were some things inside that belonged to the Ancient Loulan Kingdom that Ancient Loulan didn't have. Thus, for countless years, Ancient Loulan had been sending cultivators into the Ancient Loulan Relic, wanting to excavate everything inside.
To enter the relic, one had to get permission from the Loulan palace in the Ancient Barren World. Thus, Qian Yang went straight to the palace as soon as he arrived. He'd clearly come prepared and had a plan.
The Loulan palace was the grandest building in Loulan City. It exuded an ancient aura. When Ye Futian's group arrived, the Black Wind Eagle and Wind Roc landed.
At this time, many people were outside the palace. They gazed at the stairs and the majestic arched doors.
There, there were many guards.
"Qian Yang, the young leader of the Qianmeng area, is here to visit," Shi Tong called in the direction of the palace.
"Please." The guard at the palace doors raised his spear and called out. He seemed to know that Qian Yang's group was coming and let them in.
Qian Yang stepped forward and the rest of them followed him into the Loulan Palace.
Many people in the palace looked at them with a strange look. They seemed to be from Qianmeng City. The young leader of the Qianmeng area had brought people here personally. Clearly, they were here for the Loulan Relic. But this time, all the top figures of the Ancient Barren World had come. It was probably going to be lively again.
Ye Futian and the others were brought to a place with elegant surroundings. There were many independent palaces here. Qian Yang and Ye Futian each chose a palace.
"Ye Futian, go rest in the palace first. I'll find you if anything happens," Qian Yang said to Ye Futian.
Ye Futian's eyes flashed. He'd asked Yun Qianmo some things along the way but she didn't know much. He only knew that this trip was for the Loulan Relic. He didn't know anything else.
"Can you tell me more about this trip?" Ye Futian asked.
"What's the rush?" Beside Qian Yang, Yue Linglong smiled at Ye Futian. Her sexy figure was alluring and her eyes were seductive. "Since Young Master Qian brought you to the palace, he will naturally take you to the relic. You just need to wait for the good news."
"But there are still some things I don't understand." He did not think that Qian Yang would be so kind as to bring him along. Of course, Ye Futian had his uses.
"You don't need to understand," Shi Tong said indifferently.
"Ye Futian!" Qian Yang raised a hand to stop Shi Tong. "I know you have questions. The relic is a wondrous place. Not everyone with a high plane can gain something. I need your talent, that's why I'm working with you. If we gain something in the relic, we can discuss how to split it. Don't think about anything else."
"Alright." Ye Futian nodded and left, heading towards the pavilion where he lived.
After entering, Lin Yueyao's eyes flashed. "I don't know how sincere his words are. It should be fine to work with you. It must be because of the talent you displayed in the grotto. But if we really gain something, how will we split it?"
Qian Yang only had five people but all of them were at the peak of the Dharma Plane. Qian Yang, in particular, had noble fate and could greatly increase his combat ability. The two sides were not equal. When the time came, it would not be up to them.
"Why do I feel like he's luring us here step by step?" Yu Sheng also said, frowning.
"But even though we know there might be problems, we still came," Ye Futian said with a smile. "Since we're here, we'll take things as they come. Even without Qian Yang, if we enter the relic, there will still be others eyeing us. Looking at the situation outside, I don't think we're the only ones."
"Yes." Yu Sheng nodded and did not say anything else. Since the relic was here, they would come sooner or later.
In the next few days, the Loulan palace was bustling but Ye Futian's group stayed in the palace to cultivate. They did not even know what Qian Yang's group was doing.
Until one day, Yue Linglong came to Ye Futian's palace and found him.
"Get ready. Ancient Loulan is inviting everyone. The Virgin will appear too," Yue Linglong said with a smile.
"Virgin of Ancient Loulan?" Ye Futian looked at her. "Why not a princess?"
"Didn't your servant tell you? Ancient Loulan doesn't have a princess, only a Virgin. Young Master Qian and the others are waiting outside. Hurry." Yue Linglong left with a smile.
Ye Futian did not think much about it. He gathered everyone and walked out of the palace. Qian Yang and the others were already there.
"Let's go," Qian Yang said with a smile. The group walked in a certain direction.
They came to the bottom of the stairs in front of a palace. A banquet was already prepared and many people were there. They all had extraordinary temperaments and came from all over.
Qian Yang found a seat and sat down. Immediately, Ye Futian's group sat in that area.
Here, it seemed that every force sat in their own area. There were many people from different forces.
When they sat down, many people looked at them, sizing them up.
At that moment, a group of people walked over from the palace. They walked to the top of the stairs.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were drawn to the figure in the middle.
Loulan Xue, the Virgin of Ancient Loulan. Just as the rumors said, her hair was like snow and shone with silver light. It fell softly on her shoulders.
Her entire being was holy and her temperament was as cold as ice. She was like a fairy who did not eat the world.
Her eyes shone with silver light. Different from ordinary people, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
"What's wrong? You can't even move your eyes?" Lin Yueyao smiled at Ye Futian beside her. Ye Futian looked away and smiled at Lin Yueyao. "You lost again. Are you in a bad mood?"
"Is she prettier than your girlfriend?" Lin Yueyao asked, smiling.
"No," Ye Futian said. "She's too cold. How can she be prettier than Jieyu?"
"Isn't it good to have a cold beauty with a different temperament?" Lin Yueyao smiled faintly. The two of them spoke in low voices. The stairs were far away, so they couldn't hear them.
"I'm not the kind of person you think I am," Ye Futian said righteously.
Lin Yueyao looked at him with disdain. She did not know if it was true or not.
Right now, many people were attracted by Loulan Xue. In reality, Lin Yueyao was also very beautiful. Her appearance was not much inferior to Loulan Xue but Loulan Xue's temperament was too different.
A young man stood beside Loulan Xue. His eyes were extremely sharp as he scanned everyone. He said, "Everyone has come from afar so the Virgin has personally set up a banquet to welcome you. Also, I have something to tell you about the Ancient Loulan Relic."
Everyone listened quietly. The young man continued, "None of you are from Ancient Loulan, but Ancient Loulan has invited you here to borrow the strength of the geniuses from all over. Since all of you have extraordinary identities, we will not test you separately. All of you can enter the relic with the geniuses from Ancient Loulan."
"However, the Ancient Loulan Relic is the relic of our country. Many rare items are owned by us. If you find anything in the relic, you can take the ritual implements. As for some special treasures, if we need them, we will trade them with items of equal value. If you agree, you can enter the relic. If not, please leave. We will not force you."
Hearing this, Ye Futian's eyes sparkled. Ancient Loulan seemed to really want the treasures of the Ancient Loulan Relic. For this, they had invited people from other places to explore the relic. What was in the relic?
He was looking forward to it. According to Qian Yang, the ritual implements in the Ancient Loulan Relic might contain noble intent. It was difficult for any kingdom in the Hundred Lands to take out ritual implements of this level.
Everyone was still very quiet. They were naturally aware of this.
"If you don't speak, I will take it that you agree to this condition. As for the dangers in the relic, I believe you all have your own plans. I will not speak further," the young man said. "Please enjoy the banquet."
Everyone's expressions flickered and they all had their own thoughts. Occasionally, they would look towards Loulan Xue. Just then, Loulan Xue stood up and said to everyone, "Everyone, please help yourselves. I still have other matters to attend to. Goodbye."
"Virgin, are you from Ancient Loulan heading to the drill ground for the assessment?" someone asked the Virgin from one of the seats.
Loulan Xue paused. Looking at the person, she nodded lightly.
"There's no need for a banquet. Can you follow the Virgin and see the talents of Loulan City?" the person asked, smiling.
Loulan Xue looked at the young man and whispered something before walking away. The young man turned to everyone else and said, "Is everyone interested in going?"
"It's really boring to have a banquet here. Why don't we go take a look?" someone else asked.
"Sure. Those who want to go can come with me. Everyone else can enjoy the banquet or leave," the young man said calmly. Immediately, many people stood up and walked towards the young man.
"Let's go take a look too," Qian Yang said. They all stood up and walked towards the young man.
However, there was a group of people who left quietly. They did not follow the others and did not seem to be interested.
