"Is everything ready little Xiao?"
Right after his words sounded through the room, a disappointing weak voice was heard in that direction,
"What gave me away this time, Master?"
Tianlong Yun was expecting this question, as he had a slight smile on his face, and said,
"You shouldn't disturb the wind when you enter little Xiao, you should try to be one with it, and use it to your advantage!"
His words seemed to have enlightened a bit the invisible intruder, who right after his thinking returned to the important topic at hand, and said,
"Everything is ready Master, we are just waiting for your order to start acting!"
Satisfied with the piece of news he got, Tianlong Yun said in a solemn voice,
"Stand by and prepared at a moment's notice. I will tell you when to act! You can leave!"
With those words, Tianlong Xiao Diushi had disappeared from the room, while Tianlong Yun removed the barrier around him, while still looking at the moon.
To any person looking at him from outside, he was just a man appreciating the beauty and the light of the moon on the horizon.
It didn't take long for Elder Tao to appear in front of him, and say in a more friendly voice than the one he had first when they got together,
"Young Master Tianlong Yun everything is ready, we can go!"
Hearing those words, Tianlong Yun just nodded his head and followed behind the old man. Tonight was the night they went to explore the Ancient Ruins.
Getting into the big room where people were gathering there were more than 20 people in there, and these were only the powerful people.
If one included the number of the young generation, servants, and accompanying guards from the Qin family the number would easily exceed 100.
There were also some people from the smaller families joining the exploration, but to the big families, they were just cannon fodder they could use to scout the place.
With these thoughts in mind, Master Qin was looking at the small crowd of people in front of him, and especially at his two sons.
After the deal had gone through with Tianlong Yun he had released his son Qin Tuo as a sign of goodwill between them.
This had a good and bad impact on his family, firstly his sons seemed to be working together for the first time since growing up, but at the same time, their hate was directed at Tianlong Yun.
As for his first daughter, or the known 2nd Young Master of the Qin family, she had refused his order to marry Tianlong Yun at first, but then she accepted after some 'convincing'.
She had come to the Qin Mansion 2 days back and had already had a meeting with Tianlong Yun which seemed to have ended on good terms.
But she couldn't be part of this exploration since she was too weak, for that reason she and Yue Que weren't allowed to come in this exploration.
Of course, this was what Master Qin thought, as for the real reason they were staying behind only them and Tianlong Yun knew about.
At this moment Tianlong Yun had just entered the big room, where a lot of old people with serious and solemn faces were looking at Master Qin who was holding some kind of a speech.
He was trying to boost them up, and tell them about a few dangers that they might face during the exploration.
He was also advising them who to bully and who to respect in case of trouble, or a fight breaking for different reasons.
Surely they didn't need to hand over their treasures to others, but at the same time, they shouldn't offend the wrong people.
This exploration involved almost all the powers across the planet because no matter how much they tried to keep it a secret, they couldn't. There were spies everywhere.
Not to mention that the place where they were going was too big to be explored by them alone. If their estimations were slightly accurate the surface of that place was almost as big as the Asian Continent.
That big city that the people who had discovered it first was probably just a small city, in that place, and there would be bigger ones inside.
If that was true then the amount of resources, wealth, potions, pills, weapons, and good stuff was just too big for any one of them.
Furthermore, they didn't know if there were any people living in that place, and if they would face any kind of resistance or fight from them.
For all these reasons people from the big families had complex feelings about the fact that the milk had been spilled out of the bottle.
Tianlong Yun wasn't really interested in Master Qin's speech, as the most important thing to him at the moment, were the few pair of eyes looking at him wrathfully.
Those pairs of eyes belonged to 1st Young Master Qin Tuo, his brother the 3rd Young Master, and a few elders supporting them.
They were looking at him as if they wanted to eat him alive, and they already had a plan to kill him inside the Ancient Ruins and place the blame on someone else.
They had even brought a few powerful weapons and treasures so they were assured of their success. But they had a slightly big problem with that plan.
One of the perpetrators of the plan was his slave. He already had information about everything they were planning or even thinking about.
Their plan was good, and it could work out, but that was only on the premises that he was a normal powerful cultivator, and that he had no idea of their plan.
But with the means, he had in his hands, and knowing the details of their plans, this was just water down the bridge for him, simple as that.
Now wanting to really bother with them, or their plans, Tianlong Yun ordered his slave, Young Master Qin Tuo to take care of them noiselessly, and bring all their possessions to him later.
They had a few good things in their possession and maybe held some surprise materials that they couldn't recognize.
Tianlong Yun had already understood that Earth was special for some reason, and he didn't get surprised looking at all the good stuff there were on this small planet.
While he was thinking like this, Master Qin had just finished his speech, and let everyone get out and make their last preparations about the exploration, they left in 10 minutes.
With that taken care of, he went towards his sons giving them a few instructions, and then it was Tianlong Yun's turn.
Tianlong Yun was not only his partner, and hope towards his Qin family control over the Shadow Clan, but also his son-in-law because he was going to marry his daughter soon.
Knowing that things weren't good between his sons and Tianlong Yun he was at a crossroad of what to do about this situation, but he guessed that both sides knew their positions and benefits.
Still, he felt like his sons might be a bit short-sighted and try something stupid, for that reason he came close to Tianlong Yun and Elder Tao, and said in a clear voice,
"Son-in-law I still feel a bit worried about your participation in this exploration without your Clan backing you up, but heroes rise through war, so I hope you don't fail me.
But even then to relieve a bit of my restlessness, I am leaving Elder Tao and Elder Knife by your side to protect you and help you. My Qin family will treat you like a true member of our family."
More than to protect him, the two elders beside him were to keep an eye on him, and not allow him to do anything he shouldn't do, like escaping or creating unnecessary trouble.
Tianlong Yun understood his purposes easily but didn't oppose them. He accepted them gratefully, as he said,
"Father-in-law is truly a magnanimous and big-hearted person. This young son-in-law will humbly accept father-in-law's good intentions."
Master Qin's words were said in a clear and loud voice as if to warn off some people with bad intentions.
He was showing them that Tianlong Yun was a member of the Qin family, and they shouldn't act thoughtlessly and make trouble for him.
While also showing how highly he evaluated Tianlong Yun in the eyes of the crowd, while Tianlong Yun accepted everything as an obeying kid.
It was useless and unproductive to make a scene at this moment, not to mention that he had already taken care of everything.
After that everyone dispersed for a few minutes, and they once again gathered in the front yard where the big crowd was waiting for them to leave for their destination.
They would travel by plane to Kunlun Mountain range, and then cars and choppers according to their position in the family.
A large number of experts and powerhouses were being gathered in the Kunlun Mountains range to try their luck, and to find the opportunity that would turn carp like them into big powerful dragons.
Of course, the people who could be seen were just the head of the spear in this exploration as its body just followed behind from the shadows.
The true powerful experts of the Soul Formation Realm and Body Integration Realm were in the shadows having a look at their people, and young generation.
They were here to accompany them, and keep them out of trouble from the shadows, and appear only in the case of some big emergencies.
In a few words they were just security guards at the moment, but later their presence would become vital.
It took around a day for Tianlong Yun and the Qin family to come to the entrance of the Ancient Ruins where everyone has gathered around…
