Chapter 147 - dried bone forest
The next day, just as the sun rose from the mountain, the entire Hundred Desolate Lands started to boil. Countless people and horses swarmed over from all directions. Their only target was the Ancient Era's Remnants.
In the Martial City, Xia Xuan woke up early as well. All the disciples of Stellar Martial Gate and above were ready to go, there were only two Xuanhuang experts guarding the sect.
Along the way, Xia Xuan didn't say a word, his face was filled with rare seriousness.
"What happened to your brother?" Miao Linger came to her side and whispered in her ear.
The tip of her nose started to sour, and said with a slightly sad voice, "Big brother has already reincarnated to the sixth time. The first five times he died in the ancient ruins, the originally weak remnant spirit has almost dissipated.
Hearing what Yan Shuang said, Miao Linger also lowered her head in silence and silently returned to Suo Balang's side. After being fiercely glared at by Suo Balang, he no longer said anything.
This trip to the ancient ruins was extremely important to Xia Xuan. If he succeeded, he would gain unparalleled potential, but if he failed, he would never be able to recover. Of course, after five failures, even he wasn't sure if he would succeed or not.
Every bone was incomparably huge, and it was hard to imagine just how many strong warriors had fallen in the ancient Sacred War. At this time, the dried bone forest had a hundred meter long Tower, and the Tower was emitting a terrifying pressure, often having agaric spirit, which was so strong that it was visible with the naked eye, circling around the tower.
The dried bone forest had already gathered countless forces, but no one dared to enter the Tower. It was not only because the pressure that the Tower gave off was not something that the Homo sapiens could withstand, but also because the agaric spirit surrounding the tower would attack anyone that got close.
After half a day, Xia Xuan and the others finally arrived at dried bone forest. When Xia Xuan saw the person who was attracted by the ruins, he couldn't help but gasp.
At this time, as long as the dried bone forest was near the Tower, they would be separated by a few sects, and it was impossible to find an empty land with a single glance.
Xiao Yan swept his gaze around and saw two familiar figures. One of them was wearing a red robe. The air around him was slightly distorted because of the high temperature. The other person was dressed in white. He held a longsword, and although he was only standing there, he constantly revealed a cold aura.
Impressively, it was Han Jian and Yan Zhaoge.
At this moment, Han Jian and Yan were standing behind a black clothed man. The man had a tall stature, even though he was only standing there, he gave off a feeling of being as tall as the heavens.
Xia Xuan knew that this person was Hundred Beasts Sect Wei Lingyun, a Ranker with a cultivation level as high as the fifth rank.
Xia Xuan turned around and whispered something into Xia Muning's ear. Then, he began to circulate his spiritual energy and flew in the direction of Wei Lingyun.
Seeing Xia Xuan entering the dried bone forest, many people turned to look at him. Although he was a newcomer, his name had already spread far and wide, and many sects had gathered information to find out what Xia Xuan looked like.
When Wei Lingyun sensed Xia Xuan's Profound King of the Fifth Rank, the binocular could not help but squint. When he heard that Xia Xuan had defeated Great Sect Master Wu with just the strength of his Profound King of the Fifth Rank and teamed up with Suo Balang to kill Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium, he also did not quite believe it.
"I assume this is little brother Xia Xuan." Wei Lingyun cupped his hands and said to Xia Xuan who was slowly flying over.
"Junior Xia Xuan greets Sect Leader Wei." Xia Xuan slowly landed on the ground and bowed in return.
"May I ask where the people of Stellar Martial Gate are?" When Wei Lingyun saw that no one followed Xia Xuan, he couldn't help but frown his brow.
Xia Xuan looked at his surroundings, and then said softly: "To be honest, my Stellar Martial Gate's people are at the edge of the dried bone forest, we cannot enter this place."
"Humph!" Could it be that your Stellar Martial Gate's people are more expensive, all of them cowering at the edge, don't tell me that you all want to sit around and enjoy this treasure? " Not long after Xia Xuan finished speaking, a mocking laughter came out, only to see a large group of people slowly flying over.
"This is Sect Leader Bei Hu from the Blade North Gate, a partner that we cooperate with." Wei Lingyun pointed to the leader of the group, a burly man.
Obviously, the one who spoke was the man called Bei Hu.
"It's not that the people of my Stellar Martial Gate are cowardly and afraid of death, it's just that when the Ancient Era's Remnants open, it is very dangerous." When Xia Xuan saw the brow, he frowned. This Bei Hu obviously had ill intentions.
"What danger could there be? I think that you're just a coward who fears death. It's really blind to work with someone like you." Bei Hu did not even bother being polite with Xia Xuan, and spat a mouthful of Saliva on the ground as he spoke, looking at Xia Xuan with eyes full of disdain.
Bei Hu had naturally heard of Xia Xuan's achievements, but he did not personally witness Xia Xuan finishing the battle, so he always believed that Xia Xuan could defeat the Herba Pericarpium Pericarpium solely because he relied on Suo Balang to catch him off guard.
"Do not take things too far in the Northern Sect Leader." Xia Xuan was not soft either, after being said to that, his face immediately became gloomy, as though he was going to fight.
"You fledgling brat, let's see if I'll teach you a lesson." Bei Hu was not afraid of Xia Xuan in the slightest, the aura of his peak level of Xuanzun was completely revealed, and a large knife appeared in a flash.
Xia Xuan could show weakness as well. The flamethrower appeared in a flash and actually went to meet Bei Hu.
Spear and blade clashed, but there was no intense reaction. In that instant, the flamethrower trembled tens of thousands of times, and the power that Bei Hu's large knife was using was completely deflected.
Just as the flamethrower was about to lose its power, Xia Xuan turned the flamethrower around and threw it to the side. With lightning speed, the spear tip of the flamethrower was pressed against Bei Hu's throat.
A Second class Xuan Zun Ranker was actually defeated in a single round by Xia Xuan. Although Xia Xuan needed to spend a lot of effort to kill him, after all, both of them knew about this move.
"Sect Leader Wei, it's up to you whether you go to the edge or not. I only hope that when the ruins are activated, if your entire sect is annihilated, you don't have to complain to me." Xia Xuan's gaze turned to Wei Lingyun, his eyes bloodshot, his cold voice void of emotion.
After saying that, the flamethrower was put away in a flash, and it flew out of the dried bone forest without looking back.
Without the flamethrower's threat, Bei Hu fell on his butt on the ground. His eyes were filled with disbelief, he did not even know what just happened, and was defeated by Xia Xuan.
"Let's go." Wei Lingyun looked at Xia Xuan's leaving figure. He didn't know why, but he somehow felt that Xia Xuan wasn't lying to them;
Very quickly, Wei Lingyun led the people from the Hundred Beasts Sect and followed Xia Xuan, while Dao Bei Sect also followed.
Not long later, Wei Lingyun and the rest arrived at the edge of dried bone forest, where they saw Xia Muning and the others, and Xia Xuan sitting on a huge boulder, looking far away.
"I wonder what Brother Xia is looking at?" Wei Lingyun walked over to Xia Xuan's side and noticed that Xia Xuan was looking at the other parts of the dried bone forest, following his gaze, Wei Lingyun was immediately stunned.
There were also people in the other parts of the dried bone forest, but they all belonged to powerful sects. All of them seemed to know something, and they were all hiding at the edge of the dried bone forest, not daring to get any closer to the ruins.
"This …" Wei Lingyun was shocked speechless. What exactly was it that made these strong powers not dare to approach the ruins?
"You found it?" Glancing at Wei Lingyun, Xia Xuan could not help but smile.
