Chapter 387: Eroding the Barrier

No one believed that a Heavenly Knight would pose any threat to them, and thus they were looking at him with disdain and mockery.

Although he had a strong backing in the shape of some Saints, if his own personal strength were not enough to keep himself alive, then he would just throw away his life the moment he entered the Blue Phoenix Manor.

Xue Wei and his group ignored the many gazes that were sent their way and began seriously observing the protective layer that surrounded the Blue Phoenix Manor.

Luoluo, who was standing right behind Xue Wei, suddenly felt a strange feeling around her wrist, and the four-winged snake began heating up and wiggling around her wrist, as if it was eager to get closer.

Sensing the longing from within the strange tattoo-like dragon, Luoluo quickly whispered into her big brother's ear, "big brother, I think that there is some part of my legacy within the palace. My four-winged snake is very restless."

Xue Wei looked at her for a moment and began pondering. If there was a connection between her legacy and the Blue Phoenix Manor, then they held a bigger chance than the others. But they could not let the others know about this.

Although most groups present did not pay much attention to Xue Wei and his friends, there was one group that did.

The ones who had left his group before were on high alert about Xue Wei's group. They knew that he had an overwhelming strength and that his friends were not ordinary either, so they might be able to benefit from observing them.

Not to mention, when they arrived, they realized that their group was amongst the weaker ones that had gathered. Even if they managed to get their hands on some resources and treasures, it was not sure that they could keep onto it.

But they were too thin-skinned to ask Xue Wei to take them in again, not to mention that they were unwilling to have to rely on a Heavenly Knight. Also, it was not certain that Xue Wei would welcome them any longer.

As they realized this, the group hid their presence as much as possible in a corner, hoping to come across a lucky chance.

Xue Wei observed the protective layer that shrouded the Blue Phoenix Manor, and then he looked at Luoluo. "Try hitting it. If you somehow can borrow the snake's power, do that."

Luoluo nodded her head, and she took a step forward. Her actions caused all eyes to land on her.

They had previously tried using force to break through to the Blue Phoenix Manor, but without any success. The barrier had just absorbed all the energy they poured into it.

But the young woman was stunning, and her appearance was enough to enthrall many men. Looking at her, they all admired her, but because of her ethereal beauty, no one was ogling, all were simply admiring.

Feeling the many gazes boring into her back, Luoluo took a deep breath. She then raised her hand and connected with the snake on her wrist. A blue ice-like energy erupted from her fingers, and the moment the energy came into contact with the barrier, it began eroding it.

Everyone apart from Xue Wei felt their jaws dropping. How did this dainty looking figure erode the barrier so easily? This was a barrier that had caused them problems for days!

"Enter." Xue Wei did not care about the other's thoughts as he calmly ordered his friends to enter, and all of them did one at a time.

The final person to enter was Luoluo. He had done this intentionally, in case that the barrier would repair itself the moment she let go. Still, it seemed he had overthought, a small entrance stayed in the barrier, and it was slowly growing bigger and bigger.

The other groups finally came to their senses when they saw Xue Wei and the others slowly move towards the Blue Phoenix Manor.

They did not rush, as they were unaware of what traps and dangers that lurked around every corner.

The others also hurried into the inside of the barrier, but all of them were very cautious. They did not dare to run rampant within the manor at all.

The manor consisted of many different buildings. There was a road that led towards the main buildings, but even the ones at the edge of the manor were filled with treasures, and Xue Wei, who contemplated where to go first, led his friends towards what seemed like a storage barn.

As they reached the door, he hesitated before reaching out his hand and opening the door.

A whistling sound erupted, and he used his Qi to knock all his friends to the floor, including himself.

The moment they fell, a barrage of poisoned arrows came flying above their heads. They were shot with such force that it continued all the way to the other side of the road and embedded themselves into another building's wall.

After ensuring that another round of arrows was not coming, Xue Wei rose to his feet. "No need to keep lying down," he said casually, causing the others to grit their teeth in frustration. It was him who had knocked them to their feet after all!

Looking at them, Xue Wei's eyes were emotionless, and no one said anything as they slowly rose to their feet again. What met them when they looked into the barn was magnificent treasures, it was filled to the brim with herbs that had been placed in thousand-year-old ice jade boxes, ensuring that they would never wither, there were beast cores of primordial beasts, there were even many essence stones.
