Many people gathered at the drill ground of the palace.
There was a matrix in the middle of the huge drill ground. It was shrouded in mist and there were war drums in all directions. Armored soldiers beat the drums, making the matrix look like a terrifying battlefield.
The people of Ancient Loulan were here for the test. As long as they could walk through the battlefield, it meant they passed.
Virgin Loulan Xue attracted countless gazes when she arrived. Her silver hair, eyes, and extraordinary temperament were breathtaking. They'd never seen such a beautiful woman. Her temperament was also different but she was too cold. It was as if no one could get close to her.
The Virgin stood at the stand in front of the drill ground and looked down. Immediately, more people stepped into the drill ground. They wanted to show off.
"This seems to be an illusory battlefield," Ye Futian said, looking at the drill ground.
"Rumor has it that the Ancient Loulan Relic is a battlefield. Maybe it's to let people get used to it," Yun Qianmo whispered.
"Do you want to try?" Lin Yueyao smiled at Ye Futian.
"We can enter the relic directly. Why waste time?" Ye Futian said.
"To show off in front of the Virgin," Lin Yueyao said.
Ye Futian glared at her and ignored her.
At the side, there were people from other regions. At this moment, one of them said, "I heard that the ancient relic is a battlefield. This test might be a drill. Are you all interested in giving it a try?"
The speaker was from Yan City in the Ancient Barren World. There was a terrifying force there, the Yan Clan. They had great attainments in fire.
The Yan Clan was the leader of these people.
The other two parties were from Cloud Sky City and Nine Heavens City. Cloud Sky City was ruled by the Cloud Sky Mountain Sect. They had absolute authority in that city. In the outside world, the Cloud Sky Mountain Sect was a sacred mountain in a vast area. Countless sects bowed their heads to it.
Jiutian City was led by the top force, Jiutian Pavilion. In the outside world, Jiutian Pavilion ruled over many kingdoms. No one dared to disobey their orders.
The power these cities represented in the outside world was not something the Hundred Lands could compare to.
"The Yan Clan cultivates fire while Ancient Loulan cultivates water. I'm afraid water and fire are incompatible. I'm afraid the Yan Clan won't gain anything in the relic," the person from Cloud Sky City said, smiling.
"Shouldn't fire and water complement each other?" The people from the Flame Sect smiled nonchalantly.
"This matrix is a battle matrix. It tests willpower. If you are interested, you can try it," the sharp-looking young man beside the Virgin, Loulan Xue, said to the crowd.
Everyone's eyes flashed, and they seemed to be interested. The leader of Nine Heavens City said, "Why don't we each send three people to give it a try?"
"Alright." The people from Yan City and Cloud Sky City agreed.
"Sure." Qian Yang nodded as well. He looked at Ye Futian and said, "The three of you performed brilliantly in front of the grotto. This battle matrix has a similar effect and is quite similar. How about I give you the chance to perform?"
"No need, we're not interested." Ye Futian smiled and shook his head.
Qian Yang glanced at the two of them, then smiled and nodded, "It's fine. If that's the case, you two can go ahead and try."
Behind him, Shi Tong, Yue Linglong, and Zhao Han all nodded. Then, they walked to the other side of the drill ground.
"Are you going to miss such a good opportunity?" Qian Yang smiled at Ye Futian.
"Isn't it the same for the young alliance leader?" Ye Futian replied with a smile.
Qian Yang's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything.
Not long after, everyone stepped into the drill ground at the same time. Shi Tong was extremely domineering. He opened a path with his axe, Yue Linglong's movements were graceful, and Zhao Han's sword opened a path.
The Yan Clan's flames were terrifying, the Cloud Sky Clan's cultivators bathed in lightning, and the Nine Heavens Pavilion's cultivators all had extraordinary techniques. They broke through the matrixes all the way to the end of the drill ground and looked up at the Virgin.
Loulan Xue nodded lightly, but her expression was as cold as usual. She didn't say anything, as if she was born this way.
Everyone returned to where they were. Yue Linglong smiled faintly and said, "Virgin, you're really cold, but so beautiful."
"Indeed." Shi Tong nodded.
Qian Yang's eyes flashed. He stared at the girl with deep meaning in his eyes.
"Wait for me," Ye Futian suddenly said to Yu Sheng and the others. Then, he walked to the side.
"Where is he going?" Lin Yueyao looked at Ye Futian.
Everyone watched as Ye Futian walked towards the grandstand. They couldn't help but have strange expressions. Even Qian Yang's group stared at Ye Futian's back. Where was he going?
"Who is he?" someone from the Yan Clan asked. Many people looked at Ye Futian curiously.
Ye Futian wore a clean white robe. He looked elegant and extremely handsome. One had to admit that his temperament was outstanding. Step by step, he walked towards the grandstand where the Virgin was.
Lin Yueyao blinked. How could this be?
Just then, the sharp-looking youth beside the Virgin also looked at Ye Futian. Ye Futian's expression was calm, like a peerless figure.
"Is something the matter?" he asked.
"I have a few things to ask the Virgin," Ye Futian said coolly. The sharp-looking young man frowned, but Virgin Loulan Xue turned to look at Ye Futian and said, "Let him come over."
Only then did the sharp-looking youth let him pass. Ye Futian walked over to Loulan Xue and smiled. "Virgin, you cultivate the power of water and major in the Spirit Elemental Sorcery?"
Loulan Xue looked at Ye Futian in surprise. She asked coldly, "How do you know?"
"Cultivation will show through one's temperament. Virgin, you have such a cold temperament. Naturally, you cultivate the power of ice. As for the Spirit Elemental Sorcery, you can tell from your eyes," Ye Futian said calmly. He walked to the Virgin's side and looked down at the drill ground.
In the direction of the four forces, everyone stared at Ye Futian, dumbfounded.
Right now, he stood shoulder to shoulder with the Virgin. His temperament was extraordinary as if he was someone of extraordinary status.
"Who is he?" The people of the Yan Clan all asked. They looked at Qian Yang. Who was the real leader of Qianmeng City?
Looking at Ye Futian's temperament and standing shoulder to shoulder with the Virgin, it seemed like he was the one in charge.
Qian Yang's expression was also very strange. Lin Yueyao looked at Ye Futian speechlessly. "Shameless."
"She's just the Virgin of Loulan," Yu Sheng said coolly. What was so strange about that? Now that she had a higher status, she didn't know if she would still have the right to stand beside Ye Futian in the future.
"…" Lin Yueyao looked at Yu Sheng again, speechless.
Did these two not care about the Virgin of Ancient Loulan?
Right now, Loulan Xue also looked at Ye Futian in surprise. No matter when, people from various forces would always want to show off in front of her. It was the same when the people from the four forces entered the drill ground. She didn't expect someone to walk up to her so openly.
"I heard from the Virgin's guard at the banquet that there are things that Ancient Loulan wants in the ancient relic. Can you tell me more specifically so that it'll be easier to find?" Ye Futian asked Loulan Xue.
Loulan Xue looked at Ye Futian with her silver eyes and said, "If you see a treasure book in the ancient relic, pay special attention to it."
"Understood." Ye Futian nodded and said, "My level is slightly low, and I don't completely trust the people who are traveling with me. If I get a treasure that the Ancient Kingdom wants, I will naturally exchange it with the Ancient Kingdom. However, once I leave the ruins, can the Virgin protect my safety? After all, others might just take it by force."
Loulan Xue looked at Ye Futian. He was so confident despite his low cultivation but she still nodded. "I will also enter the relic. If you find anything, you can find me."
"Thank you." Ye Futian smiled and turned to return to the crowd.
"What did you talk about with the Virgin?" Qian Yang walked up and asked.
"I asked her what kind of men she likes," Ye Futian said with a smile. "Young leader, we'll go back first."
Qian Yang watched Ye Futian leave and frowned. Was this guy messing with him?
Did he dare to ask the Virgin something like that?
Zhao Han looked at Ye Futian darkly. This bastard really didn't take the normal path. Other people wanted to show off in front of the Virgin but he just walked up to her and started chatting.
Ye Futian couldn't be bothered to care about what other people thought. He indeed didn't trust Qian Yang. From beginning to end, Qian Yang hadn't mentioned anything about the relic. He didn't believe that Qian Yang hadn't investigated.
If he didn't find anything in the relic, then so be it. If he really did find a treasure, then anything could happen. It was always better to be prepared.
Three days later, in the depths of the palace, many people were gathered there.
Ye Futian and the people from Qianmeng City, Yan City, Cloud Sky City, Jiutian City, Loulan City, as well as those who had left directly after the banquet and did not go to the drill ground had all arrived.
Loulan Xue had also arrived. She had personally brought some people with her. There were many Loulan guards behind her. All of them had an extraordinary aura. Clearly, they were all top-notch Dharma Plane cultivators.
Ye Futian sized up the crowd, after which he looked at the mysterious group of people whose origins were unknown. There were only four people there. They were very quiet, but they gave off a dangerous aura. These people might be very strong.
There was a door in front of them, and behind the door was a foggy area. One could faintly see the ancient city gates and walls. This was the area where the ancient ruins were located.
Loulan Palace was built in front of the Ancient Loulan Ruins.
"Everyone, let's go." Said the sharp-looking young man beside Loulan Xue. Everyone nodded and walked forward.
"Let's go." Qian Yang said. Ye Futian and the others stepped forward and walked through the door, entering the foggy area.
A strange aura filled the air. They passed through the fog and the ancient city gates and walls became clearer.
"Past the gates is the relic. Be careful," said the sharp-looking young man beside Loulan Xue. Behind them, the sharp-looking man beside Loulan Xue said. Everyone became more vigilant as they walked towards the ancient city gate.
