Adding another expert at the先天level to the group, everyone was extremely excited. In this mysterious place filled with unknown dangers, only sufficient strength could guarantee their safety.
Moreover, power often correlates directly with benefits. In this chaotic place where all sorts of people gather, everyone wants to obtain the inheritance of this mysterious land, but the inheritance is limited, so naturally, the stronger factions have more chances.
It’s true that fate determines opportunities, but one must also have the strength to stand out among the younger generation of powerful individuals…
“We’ve rested long enough. It’s time to move forward again!”
Since Ye Kong had just broken through to the先天 level and had expended a great deal of energy battling him, Xiao Yufan allowed him some time to recover. As they watched his complexion gradually return to normal, the group of nine set out once again.
The mountain path ahead was noticeably gentler, likely because they were approaching the central area of this inner land. However, Xiao Yufan had no idea what the very center of this region would look like.
For Xiao Yufan and Ye Kong, this kind of mountain path was nothing, but for the others, it was quite a struggle.
After walking for a while, Ye Kong and Xie Yuan ended up carrying two people each. As for Cheng Ying and Yu Xuan, Xiao Yufan naturally wouldn’t let these guys take advantage. Even holding hands, it could only be him holding the hands of the two girls.
Cheng Ying’s face merely bore a few charming blushes without too much embarrassment, after all, they were practically in a romantic relationship. In contrast, Yu Xuan’s fair and delicate profile was completely flushed, and that blush gradually spread to her earlobes.
From the girl’s heartbeat, one could easily sense how nervous she was right now…
As if feeling Yu Xuan’s inexplicable emotions, Cheng Ying cast Xiao Yufan a slightly resentful glance, and her hand unconsciously added a bit more force. Unprepared for it, Xiao Yufan winced in pain.
It seems that the girl Ying’er wasn’t as calm and composed as she appeared on the surface; inside her heart, she still had some delicate feminine feelings. Seeing her man holding another girl’s hand right in front of her, anyone would feel a bit jealous.
Because of this, the group’s pace actually quickened quite a bit, and after some time, they reached the last mountaintop of this endless mountain range.
“Is that… an ancient city?”
When everyone finally appeared at the mountaintop, they were all somewhat shocked at the sight of the ancient city, resembling a giant beast crouching in the distance. They had just traversed uninhabited mountains, never expecting that on the other side of the mountain would be an ancient city steeped in history.
“This space was left behind from the previous ancient martial arts era; calling it an ancient city is not an exaggeration at all!”
After a brief moment of surprise, Xiao Yufan couldn’t help but be awed by the scene before him. This was an exceptionally well-preserved ancient city, its bluish-yellow hue indicating its ancient origins. Moreover, the city appeared quite lively, likely serving as a small gathering place at the heart of this region.
“Now that we’ve arrived here, how could we not go inside and take a look…”
A slight smile appeared on his lips. They had been in this mysterious place for several days now, and aside from encountering members of the Hundred Flowers Island, they hadn’t met anyone from other factions. Now that they had finally reached the central area, how could they not go and check it out?
Besides, Xiao Yufan didn’t know much about this mysterious place, and the so-called inheritance was merely something he had heard about. By entering the ancient city, they might obtain more information, which would certainly be better than wandering around blindly.
Ye Kong and the others nodded in agreement and began walking down the gradually flattening mountain path. The closer they got, the clearer the figures inside the ancient city became.
“Man, once we get into this ancient city, we can finally take a good rest. If that damned spatial passage hadn’t transported us to such a remote location, we wouldn’t be in such a mess by now!”
Xie Yuan let out a long sigh, his eyes brimming with unrestrained joy. Dragging a person at the peak of the Hou Tian level behind him had exhausted him quite a bit. After all, he wasn’t like Ye Kong, who had already entered the Xian Tian realm. Carrying someone such a long distance had taken a significant toll on his energy.
“You just want to flirt with the girls, don’t you? Being stuck with a bunch of guys must’ve been frustrating for you!”
Ye Kong shot back without hesitation, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he felt two icy glares land on him. He had completely forgotten—there were still two fierce girls around.
But whether it was Cheng Ying or Wang Yuxuan, both only smiled warmly at Xiao Yufan. The others could only watch from afar, having completely forgotten this fact.
“Bro, I’m still a pure, innocent virgin. Don’t project your perverted thoughts onto me…”
Xie Yuan shot Ye Kong a disdainful glance but quickly felt a sense of helplessness. If it had been before, he could have argued back, but now Ye Kong’s strength was firmly above his own, leaving him no choice but to mentally take his frustrations out on Ye Kong.
“Judging from your expression, I almost believed what you said…”
Nodding thoughtfully, Ye Kong’s smile was teasing. Having strength gave one the freedom to be this arrogant. Xie Yuan couldn’t get the upper hand verbally, nor could he beat him in a fight. Ye Kong especially enjoyed seeing the look of frustration on the guy’s face.
After spending some time together, the group had grown closer, especially Xie Yuan and Ye Kong, whose frequent banter had become commonplace.
“Stop! Let’s handle serious matters first—you two can do whatever you want later!”
These two were truly a pair of oddities. If they continued arguing, who knew what might come out of their mouths. Besides, there were still two women in the group; they should maintain some decorum.
Both of them shut their mouths. Lightening the mood during moments of boredom was fine, but if it ended up delaying important matters, it wouldn’t be worth it.
The group continued forward, but Xiao Yufan soon sensed that as soon as they appeared at the foot of the mountain, several pairs of eyes had already locked onto them. That feeling of being watched made him very uncomfortable.
It seems this chaotic place was indeed quite disorderly. He just didn’t know whether those watching them considered them easy targets. If that were the case, he wouldn’t mind teaching these clueless little thugs a lesson…
“Here come a few more suckers—and two cute little beauties! This time’s haul might be quite rich!”
Just as Xiao Yufan was considering how to expose these people, the group actually stepped forward. Their eyes shamelessly fixed on the two girls’ slender figures while completely ignoring Xiao Yufan and the others…
