“The Blood Spirit Clan sure reaps what it sows. This mysterious place must be even more fascinating than we imagined…”
Yan Zheng glanced in the direction Ning Mo was looking, his eyebrows slightly raised, a playful smile curling his lips. He couldn’t help but feel pity for the members of the Blood Spirit Clan.
“Fascinating indeed. But judging from her current strength, she probably hasn’t accepted the inheritance from the Green Spirit Clan yet. The elders of the Green Spirit Clan have placed all their hopes on her!”
Of course, it would be a lie to say he had no interest in such an extraordinary woman. However, Ning Mo would never force anyone’s will. Since this woman didn’t like him, he wouldn’t pursue her relentlessly. Yet, thinking about the heavy burden she carried, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy.
“A woman shouldn’t have to bear so much. But those from the Green Spirit Clan are even more disappointing!”
Compared to the increasingly powerful Blood Spirit Clan, the Green Spirit Clan was deteriorating. Within the secret forces of the ancient martial arts world in China, they were practically at the bottom. Their only hope now was this exceptionally talented woman.
In terms of talent, even someone like Yu Ya might be slightly inferior to her…
“Hehe, just a bunch of spoiled brats. They couldn’t even stay confined without outside interference. They only have themselves to blame for living too comfortably!”
Speaking of the younger generation of the Green Spirit Clan, Ning Mo showed even more disdain. In his opinion, placing all the burdens on a single woman’s shoulders spoke volumes about the incompetence of the younger generation in the Green Spirit Clan.
Yan Zheng didn’t say anything further. He didn’t want to criticize the Green Spirit Clan, especially since they had produced such an extraordinary woman.
However, as a member of the Ancient Spirit Clan, he understood better the ruthless nature of these secret forces’ inheritances. If this woman truly accepted the inheritance, she would likely become cold and emotionless.
“Let’s find time to meet them. I can sense that the strength of this group is no weaker than the young experts sent by the top three sects of the Guardian Temple.” Yan Zheng finally spoke after a long silence.
Besides being intrigued by the woman, he was also very interested in Xiao Yufan, the leader of the group. He wanted to see what kind of extraordinary qualities the son of that man possessed.
Back then, the Ancient Spirit Clan had once extended an invitation to Situ Yonghui, a man of exceptional talent, but was rejected by the latter, which became a celebrated tale. Naturally, this tale had quite an impact on the Ancient Spirit Clan.
“There isn’t a single mediocre person in the Situ Clan.” This saying had become well-known in the hidden martial arts world. Of course, this referred not only to hidden clans but also to the Heaven Alliance and the Silver Fox Lingyu!
Since Xiao Yufan entered the ancient city, he had sensed several pairs of eyes watching him. However, he could tell that these gazes held no malice, so he pretended not to notice.
“Hey, is it because my brother is so handsome that I keep feeling like someone is secretly watching me from behind?”
Ye Kong had also attained the先天 realm, and his perception was exceptionally keen. After being observed by Yan Zheng and Ning Mo for so long, he finally became aware—though somewhat belatedly.
“It’s me behind you, you conceited bastard. I have no interest in you, so stop being so full of yourself!”
Xie Yuan, standing behind Ye Kong, glared at him intensely. Recently, he had found this guy more and more irritating. Once he attained the先天 realm, he would certainly challenge him, just to put an end to his constant arrogance.
“Accident, just an accident!”
Ye Kong chuckled awkwardly and turned his head, nearly bumping into Xie Yuan, which made him feel rather embarrassed. No wonder, after all, the only two women in the group were by Xiao Yufan’s side, while he was surrounded by men.
“Ying’er, do you know those people? Why do you seem troubled?”
Xiao Yufan had long grown accustomed to Ye Kong’s personality. However, during the martial arts competition, Ye Kong had appeared very composed, but now he seemed somewhat frivolous.
It seemed that staying in the Guardian Temple for so long, even the most composed person would feel a bit elated upon suddenly gaining freedom. It was undeniable that these people lived in a somewhat isolated and pitiable manner.
“We’ve met before, but we aren’t very close. If we’re in this mysterious place, they might be reliable allies.”
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and a beautiful smile graced Cheng Ying’s lips. She had noticed those people earlier. In her memory, the Qianling Clan and the Guling Clan were among the forces friendly to the Qingling Clan.
“It seems those people aren’t ordinary either. Fortunately, we found this ancient city!”
Xiao Yufan could sense the fluctuation in Cheng Ying’s emotions. Those people must be no ordinary individuals. Even he could feel the pressure from their strength. With so many peak experts gathered in this ancient city, something significant was likely to happen.
Nodding slightly, Cheng Ying’s beautiful eyes sparkled with unusual luster. The presence of members from both the Guling Clan and the Qianling Clan here suggested that some inheritance might soon emerge.
After all, this mysterious realm was extremely vast, and its inheritances varied greatly. Various factions were spread across different regions. Otherwise, if all forces gathered together, it would surely lead to a bloody storm.
The ancient city showed no signs of desolation, indicating that the Earth-Slaughtering Palace had been operating here for some time. The number of people gathered was terrifying, reaching nearly a thousand.
So many young experts gathered together, creating an atmosphere that was somewhat daunting. Everyone here was at least at the 후천 realm. It was evident that the hidden clans and the Guardian Temple spared no effort in cultivating the younger generation.
“Let’s first gather information about this mysterious place in the ancient city. We’ve been wandering around blindly for so long; we might have missed many important events!”
Xiao Yufan scanned the group with his gaze and spoke up. After such a long journey, they must be feeling restless. It was time to give them some freedom to relax and, at the same time, discreetly gather information about the mysterious place.
This mysterious space had already opened for some time. If no faction had obtained an inheritance yet, that would be impossible. Moreover, Xiao Yufan and his companions had no idea where the inheritances from the previous martial arts era might be located.
Upon hearing Xiao Yufan’s words, Ye Kong, Xie Yuan, and others all showed smiles on their faces. Finally, after such a long period of monotony, they could enjoy some proper rest and relaxation. As for the task of gathering information, they had already conveniently forgotten it…
