Only after some understanding did Li Xingyun realize that this was something that had really happened because of that old fogey!
Until now, there had already been dozens of forces, large and small, that had gathered in the ruins. Moreover, they were all prepared to send their disciples inside to gain experience, and if not for the key to open the ruins, perhaps those people would have already entered the ruins.
The Liu sisters were here for the experiential learning, but Liu Yanyao was the only one here. As for Liu Yanxiao, she was here to escort them.
After hearing all of this news, Li Xingyun realized that he had missed out on a lot of things these past few days!
"We need to enter the relic now?" Li Xingyun couldn't help asking.
An Yuanshan nodded, "That's right, we will also go to the City Lord's Mansion. You will lead the team with twenty shadow guards and also a shadow guard captain!"
Li Xingyun knew a bit about the Shadow Guards. These people were extremely loyal to General Shadow and An Yuanshan. General Shadow had single-handedly established them. It could be said that these people were all trusted aides of the City Lord's Mansion.
In addition, there was also an iron guard force that was under the control of An Yuanshan!
The two complemented each other, and they managed the entire city together.
The twenty shadow guards should all be at the Spirit Opening Realm. As for the captain, he should have the strength of a Green Abyss Realm. Although he wanted to be alone, it was still good to have someone to take care of him!
As if knowing that he liked to be alone, he said to Shadow, "Don't worry, once you enter, you will randomly appear in a certain place. You don't need to bring them along, you just need to help them whenever they're in trouble!"
Li Xingyun had a stunned expression when he heard that. "I'm only at the Spirit Realm, why are you guys so confident in me?"
However, the two of them did not reply and revealed a meaningful smile!
"Alright, let's go. Let's hurry over!"
With that, the two of them took the lead and left. Helpless, Li Xingyun had no choice but to follow them!
The opening of the ancient ruins was in the Broken Sky Mountain Range, just outside of the eastern city of Crippling Sun City. The distance wasn't too far, and it only took them four hours to reach their destination.
When Li Xingyun saw the ruins, his eyebrows jumped.
At this moment, what appeared in front of him was a semicircle object that was several hundred feet large. It seemed to be only a small part of it!
That semicircle object was entirely made of green stone, and it looked like a single entity.
In the middle of the huge semicircle, a stone door appeared. This place seemed to have collapsed, otherwise, this huge semicircle would have been buried in the ground and now that the sun appeared again, it gave off a feeling of ancientness!
Just as he was observing, a familiar and delicate voice rang in his ear.
Turning around, he saw that it was none other than Nangong Xiaodan!
At this moment, Nangong Xiaodai was wearing a long green flowing dress, accentuating her already delicate face and making it even more adorable!
"Hey!" Elder Brother Nangong, you came! "
Li Xingyun directly ignored the beautiful Nangong Xiao Dai and went to greet Nangong Wentian.
Hearing him call her that, Nangong Xiaodi was immediately enraged. She jumped and scolded, "Bastard, what did you call me just now? Do you dare to call for another one to try? "
Why would Li Xingyun be afraid of her? He frowned and pretended to be displeased, "Little Dai, don't mess around. I'm an elder, how could I hear you talk to an elder like that?"
Everyone: "..."
At this moment, Nangong Little Dai was really on the verge of exploding. It had only been a few days since they last met, how could this little b * stard have become a senior?
However, when she saw An Yuanshan and Shadow, she understood what was going on. She couldn't curse out loud, but she couldn't not curse out loud either. She was extremely aggrieved.
Li Xingyun saw the signs of restraining the little girl and immediately became high-spirited. He was about to attack Nangong Xiao Di again, but at this moment, the two Liu Yan Yao sisters walked over. Liu Yan Yao was looking at him with obvious hostility!
Li Xingyun met that gaze and immediately became obedient. He thought to himself, "Could it be that my glorious past has been discovered?"
After giving it some thought, he felt that it was unlikely, so he decided not to think about it anymore.
"Junior brother, I will discuss with them about the opening of the relic. You youngsters shouldn't be messing around here. Let little Miss Dai introduce the surrounding disciples to you. When we reach the underground, we might be enemies!"
Li Xingyun: "?"
Underground? These words sounded weird, as though they were being spoken to the point of suicide.
However, he still pinched his nose and replied, "Got it, Senior Brother!"
After he left with An Yuanshan and the rest, Nan Gong Wen Tian naturally went over as well, leaving behind himself and Nangong Xiao Dai. Of course, the City Lord Palace's twenty odd wooden stakes were not included.
Nangong Xiaodai raised her head, looking ready to speak to her at any moment.
Li Xingyun had originally wanted to go over and express his goodwill, but when he saw that she was as proud as a little peacock, he immediately gave up on that idea!
"What's your name, man?"
After looking at it for a long time, Li Xingyun finally spoke to the shadow guard captain beside him, who was in the Netherworld Realm.
He didn't know what was going on with these fellows, they had clearly met with the same fate as General Ying, but these subordinates were all extremely serious.
When the shadow guard heard Li Xingyun's question, he replied as if it was a routine, "Silver Eyes!"
"Lecherous child?" Li Xingyun couldn't help muttering to himself as he looked curiously at the wooden stake. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a lecherous child.
Silver Eyes seemed to have noticed the strange look in Li Xingyun's eyes. He helplessly explained, "Silver double pupil!"
Only after hearing the explanation did Li Xingyun realize that he had misunderstood. When he looked at this person's eyes, it was clear that they were silver in color!
He didn't pursue the matter any further, but said, "Alright, Yin Tong, do you know who those powers are? "Tell me about it!"
However, Yin Tong very obediently shook her head and said, "I only know a few of the most famous ones. I don't know the others!"
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "To the far right, there is a large white flag with a sword embroidered on it. On the far left, there is a large scene carved on it: Jing Yang Mansion. In addition, there are the Treasure Shop, Supreme Water Sect, and the three forces that lead the sect!"
After Silver Eyes pointed out each and every one of those powers, Li Xingyun had a better understanding of them!
He knew the people from the Water Sect and the Crippling Treasure Trading Company, and they were enemies. The ones leading the younger generation were the man from the Long family whom Xu Yuan had brought, and the woman that Wei Changqing had brought!
However, he was more curious about the one called the Gate of Opening!
Since this sect was considered one of the five great forces in the South Mountain Range, it naturally had its own unique features. These fellows were all dressed in silvery-white robes and appeared to be quite elegant. Moreover, there was a large brush at their waists!
There weren't many people in this group, only about ten people. However, every single one of them seemed to be emitting a powerful aura. It was clear that they were the elites.
Other than the five larger sects, the rest were all small faction sects, but they had sent a lot of people, and each of them had dozens of people. Obviously, they were afraid that the disciples were not strong enough, and there were too few of them, so they would suffer a loss if they encountered a good thing!
In the entire south mountain range of the Yan Province, almost all the powers had arrived. All of them were rubbing their fists and waiting in anticipation!
Suddenly, he felt a sharp gaze from the crowd looking at him. However, when he turned around, he didn't discover anything!
"Strange, just now, someone was emitting killing intent at me. Could it be that someone from Qing Leng Yue came in as well?"
Li Xingyun thought to himself. However, he wasn't afraid even if Leng Yue's men came. After all, it was only at the peak of the Cloud Realm that one could enter the ruins. This was a period of time.
It would be impossible for Nangong Xiaodai to say that she wasn't depressed. She had originally thought that Li Xingyun would come and talk to her, but when the time came, wouldn't she be able to do whatever she wanted to him? But now, his plans had come to naught.
Just as she was feeling depressed, she suddenly saw an elegant figure walking over from afar!
When she saw this man, she secretly complained. She didn't know what to do, when she suddenly saw Li Xingyun, who was deep in thought. She suddenly had an idea!
"Li Xingyun, do me a favor later!"
Just as he was wondering which power that gaze belonged to, Nangong Xiaodai suddenly came over and interrupted his thoughts.
He didn't know what the girl was up to, so he cautiously asked, "What for?"
On the other hand, Nangong Xiao Di was still worried. He didn't say anything else. Seeing her like this, Li Xingyun suddenly thought of something and said, "I can help, but I won't ask. But I'll be a guard for a month!"
At this moment, he thought of a good idea. If this girl followed him into the relic, would he still be afraid that she wouldn't ask for his help? With her late stage Spirit Opening cultivation, although her cultivation was higher than his, her strength was still better!
Nangong Xiaodan never thought that Li Xingyun would use such a move. She was so angry that she puffed her beard and glared at him. Of course, she didn't have a beard either!
"One day!"
Nangong Xiaodai bargained!
However, Li Xingyun refused to budge and calmly shook his head, "Go ahead!"
"You ?"
However, that person had already walked over, and her heart was filled with contradictions. In the end, she had no choice but to suppress the last sliver of hesitation in her heart, and gritted her teeth as she said, "Fine!" "Deal!"
A gentle voice sounded behind the two of them as soon as they finished their words.
"Miss Nangong, we meet again. This is truly fated!"
Hearing this voice, Li Xingyun immediately knew what Nangong Xiaodai wanted him to do!
Naturally, he didn't mind it at all, so he had to cooperate with her. He then turned around to look at her.
The person who came was indeed elegant. He was fair and clean, had a long figure, and a jade-like face. He was definitely a beautiful man!
However, the first time he saw this person, Li Xingyun frowned because he felt very uncomfortable. This was an intuition. It was as if something in his body had been provoked by the other person and he was very unhappy!
He looked at this person and asked, "Little Dai, who is this person?"
Hearing this, Nangong Xiaodi introduced him in a low voice, "He is the young master of the Jing Yang Manor, Jing Mo Xun!"
