As he absentmindedly stared at the city below, Xiao Yan's figure rapidly dashed through the streets. His heart was in a mess.
Just now, after hearing Murong Xuan's general description, he finally understood why the latter had attacked him.
A few years ago, ever since Murong Qianqian had been brought back to the clan by her fourth uncle, Murong Hao, that girl had been depressed all day long. She seemed to have something on her mind and was no longer as lively as before. If it was in the past, such a quiet girl would definitely make her father and brother feel gratified. After all, Murong Qianqian was someone who could not stay idle. Even in the clan, other than her father and brother, everyone else would be somewhat afraid of her when they saw her.
However, after returning to the clan this time, Murong Qianqian suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person. This caused her father and brother to involuntarily feel worried.
This kind of situation continued for over a couple of months. In the end, Murong Qianqian, who did not like to train, for some unknown reason, shut herself into the training room specially provided by the clan. She stayed there for a couple of years. Not long ago, Murong Qianqian finally exited from her long seclusion. Soon after, however, before her brother and father could relax, this girl had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
This time, even the clan elders were unable to discover any traces of the latter's disappearance.
Only now did her fourth uncle, Murong Hao, inform the father and son about Xiao Yan's matter.
At the same time that the two of them were shocked, they hurriedly dispatched people to search for Murong Qianqian. Murong Xuan's group was here to search for Murong Qianqian. Even their trip to the ancient tomb this time around, other than searching for Xiao Yan, was also to search for Murong Qianqian. However, they only realized that the girl did not appear to be here when they arrived.
In this way, Xiao Yan had also become their target.
Unfortunately, they had truly underestimated Xiao Yan's strength. Due to their carelessness, they had been so easily dealt with by Xiao Yan. If it was not for the fact that both parties had no intention to kill, Murong Xuan's group would have already turned into a pile of corpses.
After hearing this news, Xiao Yan left the hall with a heart full of melancholy.
He decided to look for Murong Qianqian after this trip to the ancient tomb. However, before that, he still needed to find Esteemed Tian Jue's Soul Source Energy and the other scroll of the Origin Returning Technique.
Very quickly, Xiao Yan once again arrived in front of the five forked roads. Without any hesitation, Xiao Yan directly charged into the middle of the street. Whether or not he could find those two things would depend on this time.
At the same time, in another hall, many figures were standing in a disorderly manner. They glanced at each other vigilantly, and no one dared to act rashly.
In the center of the crowd, a huge ball of energy was floating slowly. When everyone looked at this ball of energy, their eyes were filled with greed.
"It seems that there is nothing else in this hall. This Dou Qi Inheritance should be the precious treasure left behind by Tian Jue!"
"Hehe, if we can devour and refine the Dou Qi Inheritance of an Origin Transformation expert, won't we be able to create a supreme expert out of thin air?"
"Hmph, how ignorant. What Origin Transformation expert? Esteemed Tian Jue was a true Returnance expert when he was at the peak of his cultivation. It was only after reaching Returnance that he chose to seclude himself. After that, he completely vanished from the continent. You bunch of unambitious people actually believe that he was an Origin Transformation expert. How foolish!"
Although Chen Zhen's words were filled with disdain, they did not cause any commotion when they reached the ears of the surrounding people. Instead, a wave of shock swept through the crowd.
"Returnance!"
"Did the esteemed Tian Jue actually become a Returnance expert in the past?"
Voices that were filled with shock swiftly spread throughout the large hall. Chen Zhen's words caused the originally fiery hot gazes of these people to become even hotter at this moment. The flame of greed in their hearts became even more intense. Numerous gazes were filled with an endless longing when they looked at the Dou Qi inheritance in the square.
If they could obtain the Dou Qi Inheritance of a Returnance expert and successfully devour and refine it, would that not mean that the western region would have a very high chance of gaining another Origin Transformation expert in the near future by borrowing the power of the Dou Qi Inheritance?
They would become one of the candidates!
Swish.
Under the urging of one's greedy heart, there would always be someone who would be unable to resist and act first. As expected, a moment later, a yellow-robed old man suddenly charged out from a certain spot in the crowd. He used a lightning-like speed to fly toward the Dou Qi inheritance.
However, the hunter would shoot the bird that took the lead. The appearance of the old man had caused him to instantly become the target of everyone present. In the blink of an eye, a seven star Dou Di had been killed by the combined attacks of everyone present.
At this moment, the battle in the hall began.
Boom! Boom!
Intense explosions continuously resounded within the hall as human figures flew about. From time to time, experts would be forcefully sent flying from the crowd. There were even some who were attacked by many people at the same time and turned into a bloody mist in the blink of an eye. Bright red blood quickly covered the floor of the hall.
In the end, other than the few factions and the people from the three great sects, there were only a few powerful individual cultivators left in this large hall. They were still unwilling to stay in this place.
Among them, the ones who had retained the most strength were naturally the Divine Refining Sect and the Battle Martial Sect. As for Ye Luotian's side, the people behind him had scattered during the battle. The robes that covered their bodies had already fallen to the ground. From the looks of it, it was extremely likely that they had died in the battle earlier.
"Hmph hmph, how is it? Do you still plan on fighting with us?"
At this moment, Chen Zhen and Wu Jitian stood side by side. The two of them did not attack each other because there was only one Dou Qi inheritance present. Instead, they worked together with great teamwork to keep the others at bay.
Although the Dou Qi inheritance appeared extremely powerful, they could still tell that the power within the inheritance was not as great as they had imagined it to be. Just like what they had said before, Tian Jue was a Returnance expert. His cultivation could be said to be the greatest in the history of the western region, yet the power within the Dou Qi inheritance was nowhere near the level they had hoped for. When they thought of the five paths from before, the two sect leaders immediately understood that it was extremely likely that there was more than one Dou Qi inheritance.
In order to maximize their benefits, working together had become an extremely good choice for them.
When the remaining factions heard Chen Zhen's words, the greed in their hearts immediately diminished by more than half. In terms of individual strength, they might be able to barely match up to the two people in front of them. However, if they were to join forces, they would no longer have any hope.
As for working together like Chen Zhen and Wu Jitian, it was even more impossible for the organizations present to do so.
There was a difference in strength between them to a certain extent. They did not trust each other in the first place, so the outcome of working together was obvious. As a result, the organizations chose to retreat in the end rather than wasting their efforts.
Chen Zhen and Wu Jitian exchanged glances with each other as they watched the few factions gradually withdraw. A satisfied smile surfaced on the corner of their mouths. Immediately, they turned their eyes and looked at the Dou Qi inheritance behind them.
"Hmph hmph, sect leader Wu, as long as we practice, I believe that there are not many organizations in this ancient tomb that can rival us!"
Chen Zhen smiled with a golden light in his eyes. His words were filled with arrogance. As a nine star Dou Di and a Class 4 Formation Master, his strength was enough to allow him to stand at the top among experts of the same level. Wu Jitian's forte was his physical strength. With the two of them working together, one attacking and the other defending, they were undoubtedly the best combination.
"Chen Zhen, I advise you not to be too careless. The background of Qin Yun in this group is frighteningly strong. Even you and I cannot easily become enemies with him!"
Wu Jitian wore a solemn expression as he shook his head when he heard Chen Zhen's words. Although he appeared to be well-developed, he was definitely not a simple-minded person. Anyone who dared to underestimate him would likely have to pay a hefty price.
"Hmph, so what if his father is at the Origin Transformation stage? As long as we obtain these Dou Qi inheritances, we will also be able to advance to the Origin Transformation stage. At that time, the western region will no longer be a place where his Qin Wasteland Maze Valley can do whatever he wants!"
Chen Zhen laughed coldly. His smile appeared extremely ferocious. Even Wu Jitian could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
"Additionally, we have no way of dealing with the most troublesome person!"
The person Wu Jitian was referring to was naturally Xiao Yan.
With the Lightning Punishment Oath as a check, they were not allowed to attack Xiao Yan as long as they were within the ancient tomb. Otherwise, they would definitely be punished by the Lightning Punishment Oath!
That kind of power was something that even they would feel terrified of.
As long as they were within the ancient tomb, it would feel as if there was a thorn above their heads at all times, watching their every move. This caused them to feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Hmph, once we leave this place, we will definitely make him pay the price in blood!"
Chen Zhen cursed with a dark and cold expression. However, a moment later, a ghost like figure suddenly appeared behind the two of them.
"Leave? In my opinion, this place is rather suitable to be your tomb. So, stay here! "
When the figure appeared, a hoarse voice that was as cold as the water of hell suddenly sounded beside the two of them. At almost the same time, the disciples around the two of them suddenly let out miserable cries. Soon after, the sound of bodies falling to the ground could be heard.
In the blink of an eye, the twenty people from the two sects had all been killed!
A moment later, when Chen Zhen and Wu Jitian hurriedly regained their senses and retreated, they saw with disbelief that the figure that had appeared behind them was actually …
"Ye Luotian!"
