Seeing that Xia Hun Wu had followed them, Xiao Ya softly said: "You do have some skill, but Yang Hong was originally just a substitute. Going up on stage was just a formality. It's within reason that you were able to defeat him."

Hearing that, Xia Hun Wu stopped in his tracks and waved his hands, declining to comment.

"Don't worry. Senior Lan Lan and I will try our best to lock in the first two matches. You won't need to fight in the final match then."

"In that case... That Soul Pond doesn't belong to me, right? " Xia Hun Wu said with a smile.

"Hehe, you're quite smart this time. However, I don't have any rewards!" A captivating smile appeared on Xiao Ya's pretty face. After she finished speaking, she didn't linger and headed to the outer sect.

"Miss Xiao, for you to act like this is not proper...!" Xia Hengwu immediately laughed bitterly as he muttered to himself.

When Xia Hun Wu walked out of the Golden Armor Auction House, there was already a large group of people waiting for him. As his eyes swept across the crowd, he found out that there were more than thirty Soul Essence Realm experts and there were a few other realms that Xia Hun Wu could not see through. However, from the dangerous fluctuations, he could tell that they were at least Soul Transformation level experts.

"Haha, why is the boy so scared?" With a turn of his body, Li Yan jumped onto a qilin horse and chuckled.

"Let's go. Boy, that Ancient Era's Remnants is in the depths of a mountain range. Even with the speed of this Qilin horse, it would take at least two hours." Seeing Xia Hun Wu still standing there in a daze, Li Yan spoke again. Without further ado, he quickly mounted the group. Behind him, Xia Hun Wu quickly mounted his horse and followed.

The arena competition that the Green Dragon Gang had set up this time was set up in the mountain range where the ancient ruins were discovered. As the ownership of the Spirit Pool within the ancient ruins had yet to be completely resolved, the Golden Armor Auction House and the Green Dragon Gang had sent many elites to stay there and monitor each other.

Due to the swift speed of the Qilin Horse, about two hours later, the troops at the front gradually slowed down, while Xia Hun Wu could feel powerful life force undulations being transmitted over. When he felt these undulations, a low and deep roar could vaguely be heard in his ears. In this kind of place, only the Golden Armor Auction House and the Green Dragon Gang had such a background.

"Everyone, be careful. Although many Demonic Beasts have been driven away, there are still Diremonsters occupying this area …" The instant Li Yan dismounted, he shouted out in alarm. It was obvious that this mountain range was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

After he spoke, he did not say anything else and directly rushed into the depths of the mountain range. Behind him, a large group of people also stopped their strange horses at their original spot and followed closely after him in a familiar manner.

From his Spiritual Energy perception, he knew that there were still many Demonic Beasts within this mountain range. Although leading a team led by a Human Grade Nine Spiritual Array Master like Li Yan might have some protection, it would still be troublesome if they were to be attacked by a group of Demonic Beasts. Therefore, it was better to be cautious.

After about an hour, the matter that Xia Hengwu was worried about did not appear. As the crowd surged forward, the path ahead became spacious. In the blink of an eye, they had successfully reached the depths of the mountain range.

The moment Xia Hun Wu and the rest appeared in the depths of the lake, the surrounding area was filled with the creaking sounds of crossbows being pulled. However, before Xia Hun Wu could react, a shout rang out in front of him.

In the deepest part of the mountain range, there was an extremely ancient and large building. In the deepest part of this ancient building, there was a strange beast submerged in a pool of water, and under the immersion of this strange beast, the pool water continuously bubbled and formed a small snake-like heat wave that continuously climbed upwards.

"This should be the Earth Stage Third Rank Eight Eye Red Dragon, right? And the pool of water that he is soaking in is probably the Spirit Soul Pool … " Xia Hengwu mumbled to himself as he looked at the pool of water.

"Old bastard Yan, you've come so late. I thought you had already given up on the Soul Pond …" Just as Xia Hengwu's eyes were attracted to the gigantic mutated beast in front of him, a faint voice suddenly sounded out. He shifted his gaze over and saw a burly middle-aged man with an Azure Dragon tattoo on his left arm. He was looking at them.

There weren't any terrifying soul power fluctuations coming from this middle-aged man. However, he stood there like a mountain. No one dared to underestimate him.

Xia Hun Wu's gaze met with the man's and a chill immediately surged up his heart as a wild beast stared at him. He hastily retreated and felt an extremely powerful pressure from the man's body. This was a feeling that even Luo Lie did not give him.

"This person is the leader of the Azure Dragon Gang, the Qi Shan General. He is not a Soul Transformation expert, but a Spirit Stage powerhouse who has already broken through to the third level of the Soul Transformation Stage and reached the fourth level."

"I've heard that the martial skill he cultivates is a body refining martial skill that's a rank 5 in the local realm. Within the Luo City, other than the group of people in the palace, there are very few people who can fight against him." It was unknown when Xiao Ya had arrived beside Xia Hun Wu as she asked in a low voice.

He was only one realm away from the "Three Samsara Realms". However, if he wanted to take this step, not to mention the Great Yan Empire, even in the entire Soul Martial Continent, it was extremely rare for someone to break through to the Spirit Life Stage of the Three Samsara Realms.

"Hehe, Sect Leader Qi, why are you in such a hurry? Am I not here? " When Qi Shan spoke, Li Yan also spoke out in a faint voice. In the face of Qi Shan's extremely strong pressure, only Li Yan, who was present, was not afraid.

"A Human Stage Ninth Rank Spiritual Array Master is indeed able to resist a Spirit Stage powerhouse …"

Seeing Li Yan's carefree and composed expression, Xia Hun Wu sighed: "I'm afraid that only a Rank 9 Spiritual Array Master like Li Yan can speak like this in front of a Spirit Stage powerhouse."

These two pressuring voices caused Xia Hun Wu's heart to feel like it was boiling. This was the pillar that stood at the very heart of the Great Yan Empire …

Qi Shan glanced at Li Yan before waving his left arm and saying, "Stop f * cking talking nonsense with me. Since everyone is here, let's begin. If this continues, it is likely that old wolf's old nose will be able to find the stench of you and find this place. At that time, it will not be this kind of situation."
