Chapter 386: 386
Xue Wei was not in a hurry to leave . He knew that the other group was rus.h.i.+ng, as they felt that if they were slow, all the treasures would have been taken away by others .
But Xue Wei was not in a hurry . This Blue Phoenix Mansion had been at the Ascended"s Realm for a long time; it had never been breached before .
Even if they managed to get there, it would take some time for the protective array to break down . They really did not need to hurry .
Xue Wei looked at his group . Although the Chang"an members had decided not to follow them to the Blue Phoenix Mansion, Xue Wei was not feeling disappointed .
These people were weak; they would not be a benefit in the fight at the Blue Phoenix Manor . Therefore he was happy that only w.a.n.g Xiaoyun followed him and his friends .
After waiting for a bit of time, Xue Wei kept away his half-used resources, and he slowly rose to his feet .
Dusting his robes, he stretched his body . Abundant energy was bursting in his meridians, he could feel a strength unlike ever before, and he currently had control of three elements, wood, fire, and lightning .
The sudden rise in strength had eclipsed what he had expected . He had initially thought that it would be enough to just consume and absorb the energy within the Qilin Horn within a month, but it was clear that he had gained much more than that .
Moving out of the cave, the group walked down the mountain . The cave was still protected by the inscriptions, and no one would be able to locate it . Even Xue Wei, who had sat up the inscription, would be hard-pressed to find it again .
But they did not worry . These experts of the Chang"an Realm had decided to stay there until the closure of the realm; they knew that when the Ascended"s Realm closed down again, then they would return to the exact place they were when it opened .
Xue Wei and his friends would return to the Demon Phoenix Continent, while w.a.n.g Xiaoyun would appear with the ones in the cave at Chang"an continent .
As they reached the foot of the mountain, Xue Wei once more took out his flying vessel, and all of them boarded it before it sped off into the distance .
The essence stones that were needed to fuel the vessel were not a problem for Xue Wei at all . He had so many that this was the best use of them .
When they reached the center of Summer, they found that others were also using flying vessels, all of them were heading the same way .
Up until now, Xue Wei had not seen anyone apart from him using a flying vessel in the Ascended"s Realm, so he could not help but raise an eyebrow in surprise .
It seemed that he had severely underestimated the groups that had entered the realm this time . The ones they had come across so far were not amongst the top groups of experts that had entered the realm .
Realizing this, Xue Wei could not help but grin slightly . It was clear that there would be intense fights in the Blue Phoenix Manor, but he was not worried too much about it .
Xue Wei was not one to back down from a challenge, and just one look at these many experts made his blood boil .
Initially, they had been unaware of which way to fly, but after seeing the others were all flying the same direction, he just followed the entourage of vessels .
They flew for a few days before they finally saw their destination in the distance .
The Blue Phoneix Manor was indeed a ma.s.sive manor; it was even more precise to call it a palace . It was enormous, and although it was not overwhelmingly domineering, there was an oppressive aura leaking out from the castle itself .
Xue Wei looked at the manor, and for some reason, the aura that he picked up reminded him slightly about Lan . How could it remind him of the phony prophet that cheated him at any given time?
Shaking his head, he let go of the thought, but there was something about the castle that could not shake the sense of familiarity .
On the ground in front of the castle, all the vessels were descending, and the experts were leaving them, ready to observe the protective layer around the manor .
Seeing this, Xue Wei steered his vessel down on the ground, and all of them disembarked before he kept it away .
The many groups were all close to twenty people each, only Xue Wei"s group seemed dwarfed against the bigger ones, but while some were ignoring them, a few gave an in-depth glance at them, not at all hiding the inquisitive gaze in their eyes .
A group like this had appeared ready to enter the Blue Phoenix Manor . Either they were stupid, or they had something to rely on .
Being in the Ascended"s Realm, the more intelligent groups could guess that no one willingly came to throw their lives away, and thus, they had to have something backing them .
It was, no matter how they looked at the group, they could not see what could back them up . All of them were somewhat weak, only two Earth Saints and even a Heavenly Knight was amongst their ranks!
Xue Wei was not caring about the many glances that were sent his way . He waved his hand and, without saying a word, gestured for the others to follow him .
Seeing that the leader of the group was Xue Wei, the many people who observed were shocked . Was this person, perhaps a young master who had brought along a lot of guards and friends to wait on him, and protect him from danger?
Was that why he was here? To be entertained and see the fun?
