YM778.TV Chapter 498: Leaving the Ruins
She didn’t say anything.
In truth, working with Su Jingzhen this time had made her admiration for him even stronger.
If something really happened between them, maybe she wouldn’t mind.
In this cultivation world where the weak were prey to the strong, no matter who they were, everyone would admire the strong and the outstanding among their peers.
The changes within the Gray Mist Barrier lasted about the length of an incense stick.
After everyone was expelled, it seemed to return to a state of calm.
The energy within the barrier also gradually began to rise again.
Just like when they first arrived.At that moment, several Soul Formation level cultivators returned to the edge of the barrier.
They stood next to Ouyang Mingyue, their eyes burning with fervor.
Their meaning was clear; they all hoped to tear open the gray mist barrier once more.
To allow them to enter again.
To explore the source of this power once again.
The four Soul Formation level cultivators who had attacked Su Jingzhen earlier were even more eager.
They had come so close to experiencing the grace of fortune, yet they were still repulsed.
If they just let it go, this matter would undoubtedly become a persistent obsession for these old fellows.
“Vice President Ouyang, what do you think about this?
Does the Alchemist Association have any other methods to break down this barrier?
If we join forces, we won’t have to hold back any longer. We might have a chance to open it again.
If we succeed, the Alchemists’ Association will have first choice of the resources inside.”
A Soul Formation level cultivator addressed Vice President Ouyang.
Ouyang Mingyue looked at the people around him.
After a moment of silence, he nodded and took out the Breaking Formation flag.
If it were just him, this matter would have ended here.
But with so many Soul Formation level cultivators wanting to try again, he was once again intrigued by the situation inside.
“Fellow Daoists, lend me your strength.”
As he spoke, he made a hand gesture and his aura surged. The Breaking Formation Flag in hid hand expanded once again.
This time, under their combined efforts, the Breaking Formation Flag hadn’t even reached the gray mist barrier before it was blasted back by the violent energy inside.
Even the flagpole of the Breaking Formation Flag had several cracks appearing on it.
It seemed as if the will within the ruins was warning Ouyang Mingyue.
Everything was fine before, but now that he saw the damaged Breaking Formation Flag, Ouyang Mingyue felt a pang of pain.
“That’s enough for now!”
He immediately put down the Breaking Formation Flag.
Then he stood still and silently watched the inside of the gray mist barrier.
To easily damage his Breaking Formation Flag, the energy inside must be incredibly powerful. Ouyang Mingyue found it hard to imagine.
Seeing this, the faces of the various Soul Formation level cultivators behind him inevitably showed a hint of disappointment.
They hadn’t succeeded.
Then, whatever fortune lay within the remains of Dantai Ruins was irrelevant to them.
At the very least, after Su Jingzhen and the others came out, they wouldn’t dare to use their power to cause trouble at the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect.
“Forget it, we were never supposed to get the fortune in this ruin.”
“……”
……
Whatever happened outside the ruins had nothing to do with Xuening and Su Jingzhen for the time being.
Under Su Jingzhen’s expectant gaze, the five-colored divine light surrounding Xuening gradually faded.
Xuening’s figure reappeared in Su Jingzhen’s eyes.
At this moment, Xuening’s aura seemed even more ethereal and refined.
At first glance, Su Jingzhen almost felt a sense of strangeness.
“Xuening… are you okay?”
Su Jingzhen flew forward with his sword and came to the same level as Xuening.
Xuening smiled softly, her eyes curved like the crescent moon.
“Brother Su , I think I did it.”
She looked at Su Jingzhen, then at the Yunmeng Goddess statue in front of them. The statue had returned to its calm state, but its face remained as beautiful and sorrowful as ever.
Before Su Jingzhen could say anything, a row of golden characters appeared in front of his eyes.
【Emotional Connection +12】
【Emotional Connection +12】
【Emotional Connection +12】
【Remaining points: 844】
Xuening was ecstatic at that moment, and immediately scored three consecutive hits.
After happily receiving the points, Su Jingzhen suddenly noticed that Xuening’s aura seemed much stronger than before.
Not long ago, she had just formed her Golden Core, but at this moment, her aura hadn’t subsided, and she had already reached the fifth layer of the Golden Core.
This was a direct leap of several small realms.
Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but be curious.
“Xuening, your… your realm…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Xuening smiled again and said, “Above this Yunmeng Goddess statue, I received a powerful inheritance.
Don’t worry, Brother Su , my foundation is solid.”
As she said this, Xuening’s eyes held a mischievous gleam.
Su Jingzhen nodded and didn’t ask any further questions.
This must be Xuening’s secret.
Xuening then took the initiative and said, “Right now, there should be many powers and cultivators outside waiting for us to come out.
But this time they might be disappointed.
I just sensed another passage that leads directly to the outside world. It shouldn’t leave us trapped in the Dan Holy City.”
This was exactly the problem that Xuening had mentioned, and Su Jingzhen was also worried about it.
“Xuening, why do I get the feeling that you’re very familiar with this place?
It doesn’t seem like you’ve never lived here before.”
Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but smile.
Before coming to the Dan Holy City, he had already thought that Xuening would play a big role in the Dantai Ruins.
But he never expected it to be this big.
He had only killed a few people, and it seemed like he hadn’t done much else this time.
“Brother Su , wait for me for a moment.”
After saying that, Xuening turned around and looked solemnly at the Yunmeng Goddess statue.
She bowed respectfully to it.
Then she led Su Jingzhen to the foot of the Yunmeng Goddess statue.
Su Jingzhen saw Xuening make a hand seal.
A faint five-colored light shone from her body for a moment.
Immediately, Su Jingzhen saw the Yunmeng Goddess statue fluctuate again.
A gentle power surged from its chest.
One zhang away from them, the emptiness suddenly twisted.
He had seen this five-colored vortex passage several times before, and it appeared before his eyes again.
The five-colored vortex passage was especially bright at night.
The aura emanating from the passage was indeed different from the aura inside the ruins.
“Brother Su, if you have nothing else to do, let’s just leave. Let this place return to its former tranquility.”
Su Jingzhen nodded.
The two of them didn’t hesitate any longer and entered the passage directly.
After the two figures were enveloped by the five-colored light, the passage slowly dissipated.
Under the moonlight, the Dantai Ruins suddenly returned to its former tranquility.
However, all the buildings inside could not return to their original exquisite state.
Only the statue of the Yunmeng Goddess still stood there, graceful and solemn.
Her face was still filled with compassion for all beings, as if she was suppressing something.
At the top of a mountain.
The emptiness immediately twisted.
Immediately, the figures of Xuening and Su Jingzhen stepped out of it.
This mountain peak happened to overlook the entire Dan Holy City below.
At that moment, Su Jingzhen also saw that the weed-covered area on the mountaintop actually seemed to have traces of some formations.
However, most of the rocks here were cracked, and ordinary cultivators who came here would not be able to discover the original appearance of this place.
Su Jingzhen’s gaze turned back to the Dan Holy City.
“There should still be many cultivators waiting for us to come out. Let them wait there. Let’s go straight back to the Linjiang branch. Let’s see what that old man is up to.”
