Chapter 711: Gathering of the Strong

Three days passed in a flash. As the morning light of the fourth day bathed the land, the ancient city, like a dormant ferocious beast, slowly awakened…

The inheritance of the Yu Long Sect was finally about to emerge!

“It seems that whenever a legacy appears, a fierce battle between dragons and tigers is inevitable. Especially when it’s the inheritance of a supreme force that once commanded awe even in the ancient martial era!”

Xiao Yufan slowly exhaled a mouthful of stale air, gazing toward the southwest of the ancient city, a faint smile curling at the corner of his lips.

Behind him, the expressions of the two young women were equally solemn. Everyone knew that obtaining the Yu Long Sect’s inheritance wouldn’t be easy. No one could predict how many monstrous young experts would emerge from the depths of the ancient city.

However, Ye Kong, Xie Yuan, and others seemed more relaxed. After witnessing numerous peak-level young experts, they realized their own strength wasn’t as formidable as they had imagined. For this inheritance contest, just being able to partake in the scraps would be enough.

“We should get moving too…”

His gaze swept over each person, and Xiao Yufan slightly reined in his smile. He was determined to obtain the Yu Long Sect’s inheritance—gods would be slain if they stood in his way, and Buddhas would be destroyed if they blocked his path!

Several nodded simultaneously. As the sound of rushing figures pierced the air, the group had already set off toward the southwest of the ancient city.

Compared to the ancient city, the southwest area was far more desolate. Yet today, it was packed with people. Obviously, the ripple that emerged at dawn had drawn everyone’s attention.

“I wonder whose inheritance this will turn out to be. Even the Di Sha Palace has stationed forces here, abandoning opportunities for other inheritances. It must be the legacy of some supreme force!”

The murmurs among the crowd never ceased. Few, like Xiao Yufan, had advance knowledge of which sect’s inheritance had appeared.

Precisely because of this uncertainty, the emergence of the Yu Long Sect was shrouded in mystery. While crowds gathered in the desolate area, several hidden spots radiated faint yet ominous auras.

Undoubtedly, those lurking in the shadows were the true experts!

“Have you found out yet? Who was the one that obtained the final Yu Long Token yesterday…”

At this moment, Yan Zheng and Ning Mo were atop a hill, gazing toward the desolate expanse. Behind each of them stood several figures.

Three days passed in a flash, and as the dawn of the fourth day bathed the earth, the ancient city seemed like a dormant beast slowly awakening…

The legacy of the Dragon Taming Sect was finally about to emerge!

“It seems that every time a legacy emerges, it inevitably leads to a fierce struggle, especially when it’s the legacy of a transcendent force that was renowned even in the ancient martial era!”

Exhaling a deep breath, Xiao Yufan gazed towards the southwest of the ancient city, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Behind him, the expressions of the two women were equally grave. Everyone knew that the legacy of the Dragon Taming Sect was not something easily obtained. Who knew how many monstrously talented young experts would emerge from the ancient city?

In contrast, Ye Kong and Xie Yuan appeared much more relaxed. After witnessing the peak experts of the younger generation, they realized their own strength was not as formidable as they had imagined. For them, being able to partake in the legacy struggle, even if just to get a small share, was enough.

“It’s time for us to set off…”

Xiao Yufan’s gaze swept over each person, his smile fading slightly. He was determined to obtain the legacy of the Dragon Taming Sect, and he would stop at nothing to achieve it—whether it be gods or demons that stood in his way!

The group nodded in unison, and with the sound of rushing air, they headed towards the southwest of the ancient city.

The southwest of the ancient city was far more desolate than the city itself, but today it was teeming with people. The fluctuations that had emanated from this place at dawn had clearly attracted everyone’s attention.

“I wonder which faction’s legacy this is. Even the Earth Fiend Palace has stationed itself here, abandoning other opportunities for legacies. It must be the legacy of some super faction!”

The chatter among the crowd never ceased. Few, like Xiao Yufan, knew in advance which faction’s legacy was about to emerge.

This very fact added a layer of mystery to the emergence of the Dragon Taming Sect. Besides the crowd gathered in the desolate area, there were a few other hidden spots where faint, obscure auras could be detected.

These hidden figures were likely the true powerhouses!

“Have you found out? Who obtained the last Dragon Taming Token yesterday…”

At that moment, Yan Zheng and Ning Mo stood on a hill, overlooking the desolate area. Behind them stood several figures.

Most of these individuals were at the half-step innate realm. The young experts of the Ancient Spirit Clan and the Thousand Spirit Clan were indeed formidable. However, the main focus of these two clans was not the Dragon Taming Sect, so the people here represented only about one-fifth of their strength.

“It’s most likely that Xue Feng. I heard he’s a know-it-all. It wouldn’t be difficult for him to know about the existence of the Dragon Taming Token in the back mountain.”

After Yan Zheng spoke, one of the people behind him immediately chimed in.

“That guy’s strength isn’t weak either. He must have had some kind of fortuitous encounter. Otherwise, with the strength of his Guardian Temple, they couldn’t have nurtured such an expert. However, even I couldn’t defeat that beast. Facing that ferocious creature, he probably only had the option to flee!”

Yan Zheng paused for a moment, then shook his head. He was quite familiar with Xue Feng’s strength. An expert at the peak innate realm could never subdue that beast.

“It’s also possible he had help. Since he knew the Dragon Taming Token was guarded by a ferocious beast, he wouldn’t have gone alone. With a few more experts to escort him, it would have been much easier. That night when we arrived at the back mountain, we didn’t just sense one aura.”

Ning Mo, unusually quiet, frowned slightly and immediately pinpointed the issue.

Hearing this, Yan Zheng also fell silent. When they had appeared at the back mountain that day, they had indeed sensed more than one aura. This meant that the person who took the Dragon Taming Token wasn’t alone.

“It seems Xue Feng has been getting close to them recently!” Yan Zheng suddenly thought of something, his gaze sweeping through the crowd but finding nothing.

“You’re talking about Ying’er, right? Recently, they have indeed been getting close to Xue Feng. It’s not impossible, and with her strength, obtaining the Dragon Taming Token shouldn’t be difficult.”

Thinking of that woman, Ning Mo could only shake his head with a bitter smile. Although he hadn’t spoken a word to Cheng Ying since arriving in this mysterious place, they had crossed paths in some way. He didn’t believe she was unaware of their presence.

“If that’s the case, things aren’t too bad. What I fear is that those people obtained the Dragon Taming Token.”

A cold glint flashed in Yan Zheng’s eyes, and his face took on a more sinister expression. Both the Ancient Spirit Clan and the Thousand Spirit Clan had their eyes on the Dragon Taming Sect. Could it be that the Blood Spirit Clan and those other factions would let such an enticing legacy slip by?

“The Blood Spirit Clan has already arrived in the ancient city. They thought they could move unnoticed, but they couldn’t escape our surveillance.”

Ning Mo hadn’t been idle these past few days. He knew the people in the ancient city better than anyone. As for the Blood Spirit Clan, no matter how secretly they operated, those detestable individuals had still left traces.

“Who is leading their group? It seems the legacy of the Yin-Yang Sect hasn’t sated the Blood Spirit Clan’s appetite!”

“It’s that Yu Li. I heard that after Yu Ya obtained the legacy of the Yin-Yang Sect, he led the Blood Spirit Clan here day and night. They must have caught wind of something.”

“Yu Li, without Yu Ya backing him, he wouldn’t be able to cause much trouble. If possible, let’s make sure he stays here permanently.”

With a cold laugh, Yan Zheng spoke softly. Although his voice was calm, it still sent a chill down the spines of those behind him. It seemed this young man, who held considerable sway even among the Ancient Spirit Clan’s youth, had truly developed a murderous intent.

“If it’s just the Blood Spirit Clan, keeping them all here wouldn’t be difficult. But I’ve heard the Soul Spirit Clan has also arrived…”

With a heavy expression, Ning Mo noted that the mysterious land was different from the outside world. Every step they took had to be taken with extreme caution. Although the Thousand Spirit Clan and the Ancient Spirit Clan stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid of power in the Huaxia region, it didn’t mean there were no factions capable of rivaling them.

The Thousand Spirit Clan and the Ancient Spirit Clan were allies, but the Blood Spirit Clan and the Soul Spirit Clan, those detestable factions, also had deep connections.

“Those persistent pests. It seems the emergence of the Dragon Taming Sect will be a bloodbath. With the methods of the Blood Spirit Clan and the Soul Spirit Clan, they might even attempt to seize the Dragon Taming Tokens from others. When that happens, the situation will be beyond our control.”

Mentioning the Soul Spirit Clan, Yan Zheng also frowned. It seemed today would not be a peaceful one. The only question was how many would be dragged into this conflict…

“It’s most likely that Xue Feng got it. I heard he’s well-informed. Knowing that the Yu Long Token was hidden in the back mountains probably wasn’t difficult for him.”

After Yan Zheng spoke, one of his subordinates quickly responded.

“That fellow’s strength isn’t weak either. He must have had some extraordinary fortune. Otherwise, with the power of the Guardian Temple he belongs to, they couldn’t possibly cultivate such an expert. But even I couldn’t defeat that beast, so he probably could only run if he faced it!”

The three days passed swiftly, and as the dawn of the fourth day illuminated the earth, the ancient city seemed like a dormant beast slowly awakening…

The legacy of the Dragon Taming Sect was finally about to emerge!

“It seems that every time a legacy emerges, it inevitably leads to fierce competition, especially when it’s the legacy of a transcendent force that was renowned even in the ancient martial era!”

Exhaling a deep breath, Xiao Yufan gazed towards the southwest of the ancient city, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Behind him, the expressions of the two women were also quite serious. Everyone knew that the legacy of the Dragon Taming Sect was not easy to obtain, and it was uncertain how many monstrously talented young experts would emerge from the ancient city.

Ye Kong and Xie Yuan, on the other hand, were much more relaxed. After witnessing the peak experts of the younger generation, they realized that their own strength was not as formidable as they had imagined. As for the struggle for the legacy, being able to follow along and reap some benefits was enough for them.

“It’s time for us to set off…”

Xiao Yufan’s gaze swept over each person, and he slightly restrained his smile. He was determined to obtain the legacy of the Dragon Taming Sect, and he would stop at nothing to achieve it—gods would be slain if they stood in his way, and Buddhas would be slain if they blocked his path!

The group nodded simultaneously, and with the sound of several whooshes, they headed towards the southwest of the ancient city.

The southwest of the ancient city was much more desolate compared to the rest of the city, but today it was teeming with people. Clearly, the fluctuations that had emanated from here at dawn had attracted everyone’s attention.

“I wonder which faction’s legacy this will be. Even the Earth Fiend Palace has stationed itself here, abandoning other opportunities for legacies. It must be the legacy left behind by some super faction!”

The discussions among the crowd never ceased. Few people, like Xiao Yufan, knew in advance which faction’s legacy was about to emerge.

It was precisely because of this that the emergence of the Dragon Taming Sect’s legacy was shrouded in mystery. Besides the crowd gathered in the desolate area, several other hidden places exuded faint, obscure auras.

It seemed that those lurking in the shadows were the true powerhouses!

“Have you found out? Who obtained the last Dragon Taming Token yesterday…”

At this moment, Yan Zheng and Ning Mo were standing on a hill, overlooking the desolate area. Behind them stood several figures.

The strength of these individuals was mostly at the half-step innate realm. The young experts of the Ancient Spirit Clan and the Thousand Spirit Clan were indeed formidable. However, the main targets of these two clans were not the Dragon Taming Sect, so the people here represented only about one-fifth of their strength.

“It’s most likely that Xue Feng. I heard he’s a know-it-all. It shouldn’t be difficult for him to know about the existence of the Dragon Taming Token in the back mountain.”

After Yan Zheng’s voice fell, one of the people behind him immediately picked up the conversation.

“That guy’s strength is not weak either. He must have had some kind of fortuitous encounter. Otherwise, with the strength of his Guardian Temple, it would be impossible to cultivate such an expert. However, even I couldn’t defeat that beast. Facing that ferocious creature, he probably only had the option to flee!”

Yan Zheng was momentarily stunned, then shook his head. He was quite familiar with Xue Feng’s strength. An expert at the peak of the innate realm would definitely not be able to subdue that beast.

“It’s also possible that he had helpers. Since he knew that the Dragon Taming Token was guarded by a ferocious beast, he certainly wouldn’t go alone. If he had a few more experts escorting him, it should have been quite easy. That night when we arrived at the back mountain, we didn’t just sense one aura.”

“If that’s the case, then things aren’t too bad. What I fear is that those people obtained the Dragon Taming Token.”

A cold glint flashed in Yan Zheng’s eyes, and his face took on a more sinister expression. Both the Ancient Spirit Clan and the Thousand Spirit Clan had designs on the Dragon Taming Sect. Could it be that the Blood Spirit Clan and those other guys would let such an enticing legacy slip by?

“The Blood Spirit Clan has already arrived in the ancient city. They thought they could move unnoticed, but they couldn’t escape our surveillance.”

Ning Mo hadn’t been idle these past few days. He knew better than anyone who was in the ancient city. As for the Blood Spirit Clan, no matter how secretly they operated, those detestable guys still left traces.

“Who is leading their group? It seems the legacy of the Yin-Yang Sect hasn’t been enough to satisfy their greed!”

“It’s that guy Yu Li. I heard that after Yu Ya obtained the legacy of the Yin-Yang Sect, he led the Blood Spirit Clan here day and night. He must have caught wind of something.”

“Yu Li, without Yu Ya backing him, he wouldn’t be able to cause much trouble. If possible, let’s make sure he stays here permanently!”

Yan Zheng chuckled softly, his voice light but still sending a chill down the spines of those behind him. It seemed that this formidable figure among the younger generation of the Ancient Spirit Clan had truly developed a murderous intent!

“If it’s just the Blood Spirit Clan, keeping them all here wouldn’t be difficult. But I’ve heard that the Soul Spirit Clan has also arrived…”

Ning Mo’s expression was grave. The mysterious realm was different from the outside world. Every step they took had to be taken with extreme caution. Although the Thousand Spirit Clan and the Ancient Spirit Clan stood at the pinnacle of the pyramid of power in the Huaxia region, it didn’t mean there were no forces that could rival them.

The Thousand Spirit Clan and the Ancient Spirit Clan were on the same side, but the Blood Spirit Clan and the Soul Spirit Clan, those detestable guys, also had deep connections.

“Those persistent guys. It seems the emergence of the Dragon Taming Sect will indeed be a bloodbath. With the methods of the Blood Spirit Clan and the Soul Spirit Clan, they might even try to seize the Dragon Taming Tokens from others. When that happens, the situation will be beyond our control!”

Mentioning the Soul Spirit Clan, Yan Zheng also frowned. It seemed that today would not be a peaceful one. The only question was how many people would be drawn into this conflict…

“We shouldn’t rule out the possibility that he had help. If he knew about the guardian beast protecting the Yu Long Token, he wouldn’t have gone alone. If he had several powerful allies, it would have made things much easier. When we arrived at the back mountains that night, we sensed more than just one presence.”

Ning Mo remained unusually quiet, frowning slightly as he hit the nail on the head.

Upon hearing this, Yan Zheng fell silent. Indeed, when they had arrived at the back mountains, they had sensed multiple presences—meaning more than one person had taken the Yu Long Token that night.

“It seems Xue Feng has been quite close to them lately!” Yan Zheng suddenly thought of something, scanning the crowd with his eyes but finding nothing.

“You mean Ying’er? Recently, they have indeed been spending a lot of time with Xue Feng. That’s definitely a possibility. Considering her strength, obtaining the Yu Long Token wouldn’t be difficult at all!”

Thinking of that woman, Ning Mo could only shake his head with a bitter smile. Although he hadn’t spoken to Cheng Ying since arriving in this mysterious place, they had already crossed paths. He didn’t believe she hadn’t sensed their presence.

“If that’s the case, then things aren’t too bad yet. What worries me more is the possibility that *those* people obtained the Yu Long Token!”

A glint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and Yan Zheng’s face darkened. Both the Gu Ling and Qian Ling clans had their eyes on the Yu Long Sect’s inheritance. Would the Xue Ling clan and others really let such a tempting legacy slip away?

“The Xue Ling clan has already arrived in the ancient city. They think they’re being stealthy, but they haven’t escaped our notice!”

Ning Mo hadn’t been idle these past few days. He knew better than anyone who was in the ancient city. As for the Xue Ling clan, no matter how covert their actions, those annoying people had still left traces.

“Who’s leading them? It seems the Yin Yang Sect’s inheritance hasn’t been enough to satisfy their appetite!”

“It’s Yu Li. I heard that after Yu Ya obtained the Yin Yang Sect’s inheritance in Yu Ya Valley, he led the Xue Ling clan here nonstop day and night. probably having caught wind of something.”

“Yu Li? Without Yu Ya backing him, he wouldn’t have the guts to stir up much trouble. If possible, let’s make sure he stays buried here for good!”

Yan Zheng sneered coldly. Though his voice was soft, it sent a chill through those behind him. It was clear that this young man, already a figure of great intimidation among the Gu Ling clan’s youth, had truly begun to harbor deadly intent.

“If it were only the Xue Ling clan, wiping them all out here wouldn’t be hard. But I’ve heard that the Hun Ling clan has also arrived…”

Ning Mo’s expression grew heavier. This mysterious land was different from the outside world—every step they took had to be carefully considered. Though the Qian Ling and Gu Ling clans stood at the pinnacle of the martial world in Huaxia, they were far from being the only powers capable of challenging them.

The Qian Ling and Gu Ling clans stood together, but the Xue Ling and Hun Ling clans also shared deep connections.

“Persistent pests. It seems this emergence of the Yu Long Sect will bring nothing but bloodshed. With the methods of the Xue Ling and Hun Ling clans, they might even try to seize the Yu Long Tokens from others’ hands. Once that happens, the situation will spiral beyond our control!”

At the mention of the Hun Ling clan, Yan Zheng furrowed his brows. Clearly, today would not be a peaceful one. The only uncertainty was how many people would be dragged into this brewing storm…
