Chapter XVI - Ancient Ruins

South Sea County was the territory of the Ling Family, the Jingnan King. Here, the Ling Family was a local tyrant, and in this kingdom of the nobles that spoke with their strength, the Ling Family's control over the South Sea County could be said to have reached a limit! Even if it was the royal family of the Eastern Sheng Kingdom that wanted to make a move on the South Sea County, it was not something that they could simply make a move on!

But right now, the Ling Family was facing a huge crisis …

The story had to be started from two years ago, when Ling Feng was only five years old! An ancient ruin had appeared in South Sea County. There were many such ruins in the Divine Demon Continent. Most of them were caves or tombs left behind by ancient masters that cultivated the bodies of gods and devils!

In these kinds of ruins, one could usually obtain treasures from the ancient times. Therefore, once these ancient ruins appeared, there would be a bloody battle over them. A masterless object like this would usually be obtained by those who were capable of using their strength to speak …

If an ancient ruin appeared in South Sea County, then it would undoubtedly become the Ling Family's property. The Ling Family openly received this ruin, and to the Ling Family, this was a good thing. Not only could they establish their prestige in South Sea County, they could also obtain treasures from this ruin!

Blessings and disasters depended on each other. Since ancient times, there had been a moment of blessings and blessings!

What the Ling Family members did not expect was that this ancient ruins was the remains of a Fiendgod Body Refiner that had reached the Sky Demon level! The moment this news came out, the Ling Family immediately sealed off all information about this matter, and deployed all of the Ling Family's top-level troops to guard the area around the remains …

No matter how powerful the Ling Family was, they were still only the ruler of a county. There was a limit to their strength, and the remnants of the Heavenly Demon Stage experts were no longer something the Ling Family could swallow!

Currently, the Sky Demon and Sky God Stage powerhouses on the Divine Demon Continent had already become legends, let alone the Sky Demon experts in the ancient era. The ruins of such a powerhouse would definitely contain things that made the cultivation of gods and devils go crazy, such as heaven-step cultivation techniques and supernatural powers …

There was no wall in this world that was impervious to the wind. The Ling Family had created such a huge commotion in South Sea County, and very quickly, it had attracted the attention of all the large and small forces! Thus, there was a relic of a Heavenly Demon Stage powerhouse in the South Sea County. This matter spread like the wind!

As the current Jingnan King, Ling Xiaotian, as the head of the Ling family, knew that this was going to be a disaster for the Ling family. It was definitely not a good thing!

According to Ling Xiaotian's plan, he hoped that the Ling Family would withdraw from this fight to preserve the Ling Family's foundation! But the clan was not the same. He, the King of South Sea, was in charge of everything, as well as all the Elders and nobles of the Ling Family. These people all controlled the large and small affairs of the South Sea County; even if it was the King of South Sea, Ling Xiaotian, he still wouldn't ignore their opinions and act as they pleased!

After the clan elders' group and the nobles of the various families had discussed things together, the Ling Family had all overestimated the Ling Family's strength. They believed that they must obtain a share of the Ling Family's spoils, and believed that this was an opportunity for the Ling Family to rise to prominence.

Amongst them, only Ling Xiaotian and a few others objected. However, the outcome could not be changed. Thus, the entire Ling family was dragged into a huge battle.

At the start, the Ling Family had relied on their foundation in South Sea County for thousands of years to block out all the people and forces that wanted to fight for the ancient ruins!

However, as time passed, the news of the ancient Sky Demon expert ruins spread farther and farther away, and more and more people became aware of this matter … Thus, more and more forces extended their hands out. Amongst them was an existence that even the Ling Family did not dare to offend, and thus the entire South Sea County began to fall into chaos!

All sorts of influences and cultivators had gathered at the ancient ruins of the South Sea County, hoping to obtain a piece of this!

Ling Xiaotian, as the Duke of Jingnan and the head of the Ling family, had discovered ancient ruins within the family territory. No matter what he thought, he had to stand up for the family!

Due to the influx of large forces and many idle cultivators, the north, west, and south regions of the entire South Sea County had been thrown into chaos. Only the eastern region, which was situated near the ocean, was still better off!

As the territory and foundation of the Ling Family, the South Sea County was now in a mess. This was already a great loss to the Ling Family, and after experiencing this, it would be difficult for them to recover from their former prosperity for at least several years!

Ling Xiaotian, leading the entire Ling Family's elite troops, was stationed near the ancient ruins. The surrounding area had already been occupied by other forces, even though the Ling Family was still occupying the best and most crucial spot!

However, Ling Xiao did not know that the Ling family was only acting this way because of the Ling family's strength. In the eyes of these forces, they posed no threat at all!

Because if the Ling Family chose to leave at this time, the entire South Sea Region would be thrown into chaos. After all, the Ling Family was now the master on the surface, and no one would put this master in their eyes!

Right now, the ancient ruins had long since been sealed off by various large organisations, and no one was allowed to enter! They would wait for all the factions to discuss and distribute the benefits before they could enter …

In the past few days, Ling Xiaotian had been on the verge of going insane. The royal family of Dongsheng Kingdom, as well as other people with different surnames like Wang Jue, Sun and Liu family had all stepped in! Not only that, there were also a few neighbouring countries and numerous sects. These were existences that the Ling Family could not ignore …

In other words, the first to enter the negotiations! For ancient ruins like this, the earlier you entered, the more rewards you would get. As for the ones that finally entered, you could only pick up the leftovers! Therefore, everyone's eyes were focused on the first batch of spots to enter!

In the end, after several months of negotiations, they decided to split the 1000 people who entered first, with the strongest power and Thousand Mountain Sect occupying 100 of them. In the end, after several months of negotiations, they decided to split the 1000 people who entered first, with the strongest power and faction occupying 100 of them.

In addition, there were other large and small forces, as well as some strong and idle cultivators. A team of a thousand people was decided just like that!

With the Ling Family's strength, being able to receive a quota of 10 people was already considered a preferential treatment for the South Sea princess! However, in these ancient ruins filled with dangers and opportunities, Ling Xiaotian did not think that the Ling Family could gain anything from this!

However, as the King and Patriarch of the Jing Nan, Ling Xiaotian had to go. No matter how small the chance was, he had to fight for it. After all, making the Ling Family stronger was something all the Ling Family members wanted!
