649 Gu Ya Arrives
As Xue Aotian and Xue Feng walked towards their clan's main hall, they saw several construction workers gathered in front of them, and their wives appeared to be giving them some instructions.
"Why did you gather them here, wife?" Xue Aotian inquired as they approached Yi Qingcheng and Bing Luo, who immediately informed them about Chen Li's request to send people to rebuild those ruins.
"Did they really solve the mystery of those ruins?" Instead, Xue Feng asked with a skeptical look, particularly considering that those ruins had existed in their realm for so long and had claimed many lives, leaving Bai Lanhua and her aides helpless.
"That's true, husband." Bing Luo replied with a nod. "Lan'er had informed our mother that the soul of the owner of those ruins had kidnapped our sect's disciples. She, Long Wang, and the others made the decision to enter the ruins to rescue the disciples, and together they successfully destroyed the owner's soul. Now that the ruins are ownerless, he plans to rebuild them to serve as a basecamp while they train in the Illusory Forest."
"Hmm?" Xue Feng frowned after hearing that, especially since he was still harboring anger towards Chen Li for stealing his daughter, and she also killed his best friend right before his eyes. Besides, his sister also beat him up so hard for him, and he only fully recovered after a few days. "Ouch!"
"You better forget your anger, or your sister will beat you up even worse." Xue Aotian said this to his son while shaking his head. "Did Lan'er say anything else? I'm not sure if Long Wang just wants to use those ruins as a base camp, and he may have other reasons behind his intentions."
"Are you thinking about the treasures inside those ruins?" NewW novels updates at novelhall.com
"No." Xue Aotian responded to her query by shaking his head. "Don't you know that I'm not that greedy? We already have a lot of things, and our family can live in peace, so I am satisfied with everything. However, I have a hunch that there should be something special about those ruins, and it might be beneficial to all cultivators in this realm."
Yi Qingcheng nodded in understanding at her husband's words. "You yourself should already understand Lan'er's character, and she didn't tell me anything else. If you are curious about it, then you can go see Long Wang directly there, and you might get an answer about it."
Instead, Xue Aotian let out a soft sigh and dismissed it. "Forget it; I'm sure Long Wang will tell us if he finds something useful there, so I'll wait for him to tell us himself."

After he returned to the Purple Moon sect, Zi Gang ordered Zi Zhun and several elders to prepare the best people to help Chen Li rebuild those ruins.
"Father, is it true that they have fully explored those ruins?"
"That's right." Zi Gang replied with a nod. "Those ruins are safe now, but Long Wang and his men managed to solve their mystery, so he is their new owner. You guys don't need to question anything and focus on helping him rebuild them, which will greatly benefit everyone in this realm."
The elders exchanged glances for a moment, but they immediately agreed with Zi Gang's order, and they rushed off to prepare their best men to help Chen Li.
After they left, Zi Gang informed his son. "Zun'er, I will be leaving with Old Xiong soon, and we will probably be gone for a while, so you have to take good care of our sect while I'm gone. Furthermore, you must prepare our disciples, especially Dongfang Hanyue, for the upcoming competition, as she will be our mainstay."

Meanwhile, Shou Huang appeared disheartened, as he had been unable to meet Di Jing for several days, and his leader abruptly ordered him to return to their clan's residence. Although he did not want that, he could not go against Shou Xun's orders, so he reluctantly left the Bright Moon Sect after he met Leng Qiaolan.
On the other hand, Leng Qiaolan was furious because Shou Huang had not succeeded in helping her get information about the people living in Zhulin Zhuzhai, and she immediately went to find Wang Yu to make a new plan.
However, Leng Qiaolan felt even more furious because she couldn't find Wang Yu, and the people in the Wang Clan didn't know where he was either. But alas, the person she was looking for was in Chen Li's hands, and the man she usually met was Sun Xing'er's clone.
Since she was too lazy to deal with Leng Qiaolan, Sun Xing'er's clone, who disguised herself as Wang Yu, had no intention of meeting her, and she played a prank on her instead.

Imperceptibly, two days had passed, and Chen Li let out a low sigh as a new quest notification suddenly appeared.
[Quest: Become Strong IX: Killing Two Hundred Beasts in the Earth Realm]
[Time Limit: Ten Days]
[Reward: Battle Package IX x1]
Suddenly, Xiao Shijian appeared beside Chen Li and told her. "Gu Ya has entered the southern region; do you want me to do something to him?"
"Yes." Chen Li immediately agreed to that. "However, don't capture him right away; instead, wait for him to meet up with Hua Gaoyun and Li Jingyun first. Moreover, Wu Laochen, Ruan Dongcheng, and Sheng Du are likely to join them. Therefore, I will use my clone to inform Leng Yueyan and the others about this matter, and we will get rid of those people in one fell swoop."
"All right." After he said that, Xiao Shijian disappeared from Chen Li's sight, and he himself rushed to complete his new quest.
