Chapter 748 Ch 748: Little Girl & The Jade Pendant

"Fairy Tian, don't blame me. I only wanted to have some fun with Brother Ye Xiao." Shen Long's face was gloomy as he stared at Ye Xiao. He sneered and muttered in an extremely low voice, "Wait until I recover my spiritual energy. I'll let you know that in my eyes, a mere Martial King is nothing more than an ant that can be crushed at any time."

Shen Long brought the group of cultivators and turned to leave.

Tian Yuqin looked at Ye Xiao. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Don't worry. With me here, they won't dare to touch you."

Ye Xiao shook his head. To him, Shen Long wasn't even a threat.

After that, Ye Xiao and Tian Yuqin walked together and found quite a few corpses.

The martial artists who entered the Ancient City seemed to care a lot about the damaged weapons and armor, and some of them even started to fight over them.

At this moment, a sudden cry of alarm sounded from afar.

"Look, what is that!"

"A miracle! Could this be something left behind by the Fallen God?"

When Ye Xiao heard this, he also swept his gaze over. Suddenly, he was stunned. It was a mountain wall, and on the precipitous cliff, strong True Essence was used to write the golden characters. The characters there were enchanting enough to let people see the dragons and phoenixes flying in front of their eyes.

The characters there were written in the Ancient Language of Ancient Era, so none of the people present could recognize what was written there, however, Ye Xiao was different. He could read it clearly.

"When golden light falls from the sky, the Underworld Gate will open. Enter the Underworld Gate and kill the five Evil-eyed Lions, you shall receive the inheritance of the strongest expert of Sky Ghost Race."

Ye Xiao took a deep breath when he read these sentences. It was clear that killing five Evil-eyed Lions is the key to receiving the inheritance of this Ancient God who also calls himself the strongest expert of the Sky Ghost Race.

Ye Xiao has no idea what kind of strength these Evil-eyed Lions will have, but he was sure of one thing, this journey was not going to be smooth.

"Haha, I picked up a treasure!" A cultivator suddenly said with great joy, pulling Ye Xiao back to his senses. A black scimitar appeared in his hand, glowing with a cold light.

Seeing everyone's gaze on him, the cultivator's expression changed. He immediately placed the curved blade into his spatial ring and ran over to the elder's side.

"What are you all looking at? If you want the treasures, go look for them yourself!" The elder also stood up for him, giving a cold harrumph as he unleashed a powerful pressure on the area. This elder was a cultivator at the Seventh Stage of the Martial Saint Realm, so a lot of the people's gazes immediately disappeared.

However, the crowd quickly shifted their gazes from the words on the wall and turned to the other side of the city.

When the city gates opened, there must be countless treasures waiting for them inside.

"Let's go!" The martial artists of the Spirit Origin Holy Land rushed into the city first. When the other cultivators saw this, they also rushed in.

The moment they entered the city, they saw a dilapidated building. Many tall buildings had also turned into ruins.

"Ye Xiao, I'm going to find a treasure, do you want to go with me?" Tian Yuqin was also a bit excited. If she were to find some treasures from the Ancient Ruins, that would truly be a great opportunity!

Ye Xiao shook his head: "I'm not interested, go ahead."

Tian Yuqin glanced at Ye Xiao. Seeing that he was really not interested, she no longer said anything. The two of them separated, and Ye Xiao blended into the crowd.

The entire city was deathly still. Not a single trace of life other than the people who entered could be seen. Ye Xiao kept walking forward, ignoring those people who were fighting over the treasures.

As for those cultivators, they sneered when they saw Ye Xiao walk past them.

"Fortunately, you, a brat at the Peak Martial King Realm, know your place. Bringing you in here is already a gift." A young man from the Spirit Origin Holy Land sneered.

Ignoring him, Ye Xiao arrived at the center of the city. There was a huge statue erected there, but the head of the statue had already disappeared. However, judging from its broken body, it still showed the same majestic and domineering aura from back then.

This statue belonged to the strongest expert of the Sky Ghost Race.

"Little girl, where did you come from?" A fierce voice suddenly sounded from beside him.

Beneath the sculpture, a group of people surrounded the little girl and began to speak maliciously. The little girl was about seven or eight years old. She was wearing a thin cotton dress as she stared at the crowd with fear in her eyes. The little girl's face was dirty, but her hands were tightly clutching something, as if she was afraid that someone else would snatch it away.

"Little girl, what are you holding in your hand? Hand it over quickly!" A cultivator shouted. The voice of this person frightened the little girl, causing her to tremble. She quickly took a few steps back and sat down on the statue.

Some cultivators glanced at her from afar, but upon seeing that she was only a little girl, they no longer paid any attention to her.

"She seems to have a piece of jade in her hand, and it even has a very strong fluctuation of spirit energy. Judging from how much she cares about it, it should be a good treasure!" The same person said and laughed out loud.

When the little girl heard the discussion of the group of cultivators, the panic on her face became even stronger. She stepped back again and again while grabbing the pendant with her small hand, and said timidly, "This is what big brother gave me. I can't give it to you!"

"Little girl, it seems that you don't know how to appreciate favors!" That person was enraged and suddenly stretched out his hand to snatch the jade pendant.

How could the little girl be a match for this man? She was shocked and fell to the ground. Tears welled up in his eyes. The little girl dried her eyes and stood up, desperately trying to snatch the jade from the cultivator's hands.

"How can a treasure like this be something that you can possess? Get out of here, if you anger me, I will make sure you die without a complete corpse!" Seeing that the little girl was not giving up, that person shouted loudly. His eyes were already emitting a greedy gaze as he sized up the jade pendant in his palm. This jade pendant was completely black. Some strange characters were carved on the surface of the gate. Holding it in the palm of his hand, he felt relaxed and happy, as if all his worries had been thrown away.

"Good stuff!" That person's eyes lit up.

When the other people saw this, they also wanted to take a few glances. The little girl fell to the ground. The dust that had accumulated on the ground had dirtied her small clothes. The little girl timidly looked at these people. She was scared, but that jade pendant was given to her by her big brother, so she couldn't lose it.

"Big brother, why don't you return it to me?" The little girl stumbled to the side of the person and begged with teary eyes.

That person frowned and shouted, "Scram!"

The little girl paused for a moment. She knew that she could no longer go forward.

"Show me the thing in your hands." A cold voice suddenly came from behind them.

That person turned their heads, only to see Ye Xiao standing behind them.

"Who are you... Eh? Peak Martial King Realm?" That person and the few cultivators around him were stunned at first, but when they realized Ye Xiao's cultivation, they burst out in laughter.

"What's going on? A Martial King actually managed to sneak into the Ancient Ruin."

"Hurry up and get out of here, otherwise I'll kill you."

Ye Xiao stared at the person holding the Jade Pendant, and said solemnly: "Am I not clear? I told you to show it to me."

That person's expression changed. He never thought that Ye Xiao would dare to be so overbearing.

"Kid, die!" The few cultivators were enraged, they channeled their spirit energy, controlled the weapon in their hands, and smashed it towards Ye Xiao.

Boom!

Ye Xiao didn't pay the slightest attention to this. He punched out with his fist, smashing heavily onto those treasures.

"Kacha! Kacha!"

The shattering sounds rang incessantly, as those treasures were shattered in front of everyone's eyes.

"What!" The few cultivators were shocked.

A shadow flashed past, and Ye Xiao directly arrived in front of the person holding the Jade Pendant and snatched the Jade Pendant from him.

"Scram!" Ye Xiao said coldly and then shifted his gaze to the Jade Pendant.
