Chapter 368: Ruin
_Inside The Auction House_
"Is the news that Master Yan told me related to the ruin true?" A middle-aged man stood up and said excitedly.
"That"s right. According to the expert who came back from the ruin, the ruin is within the Sunfire Mountain Range which is only a hundred miles away from here." The man called Master Yan who was standing on the stage in front of everyone opened his mouth and said.
Master Yan"s expression also became serious as he continues to say, "However, the relic has been set up with restrictions, so it"s not easy to enter. The reason our auction house"s expert was able to enter inside was entirely due to luck. Although he managed to successfully come out in the end, he received extremely heavy injuries and his life is still in danger."
"So, Master Yan wants to combine the power of many Blue Wind City"s families to open up the restrictions of that ancient remains?" Inside the Mu Family"s box, the Patriarch of Mu Family walked up and said with a serious expression.
"That"s right." Master Yan didn"t decline and nodded his head. With a serious expression, he said, "According to the search done by the Shining Golden Auction House, if we want to open the restrictions, we will need the cooperation of at least three Martial King Realm experts to break it."
"Hiss…"
Hearing this everyone was shocked. In the entire Blue Wind City, there was not a single Martial King Realm martial artist. No wonder the Shining Golden Auction House said it needed all the experts of the Blue Yan City to join hands in order to break the restrictions placed at the ruin.
"Are you sure, Master Yan?"
"It is indeed hard to imagine. However, this matter should be true. I hope that everyone will unite together here and break the seal. That"s the key to enter the ruin." Master Yan replied.
It turns out that the true purpose of this auction was to gather as many martial artists as possible just to break the restriction placed on the ruin. The auction house did auction quite a few treasures but compare to the news of the ruin, those treasures were nothing.
The matter of the ruin was talked about after the end of the auction. With everyone"s agreement, the auction officially ended and everyone ran towards their homes to prepare to go to the ruin. They needed to go back quickly and properly plan things out. If they could grab the initiative when they entered the ruin, they might be able to get the owner"s inheritance.
After the crowd left, countless eagles flew up into the sky above the Blue Wind City, flying in all directions. It was likely that there would be many forces partic.i.p.ating in breaking the restriction to enter the ruin.
After returning from the auction house, Feng Wuji called Ye Xiao and told him everything about the ruin.
"Ye Xiao, if you are interested, you can go take a look at that ruin as well. If your luck is good, you might even be able to obtain the inheritance of the owner of that ruin." Feng Wuji said with a smile.
"That ruin will definitely attract the attention of countless people. Perhaps even those big sects will come as well. Anyways, I will definitely give it a try!"
Hearing Feng Wuji"s words, Ye Xiao also nodded his head and agreed to go to the ruin. As for the matter of obtaining the inheritance of the owner of ruin, Ye Xiao was not interested at all.
With his Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique and the abilities of the Nine Ancestral Dragons, there was simply no need for him to obtain any kind of inheritance. He agreed to go there simply for one reason, that is to obtain some kind of treasure to increase his cultivation base.
"Let"s go and have a good rest today. We will go take a look at the Sunfire Mountain Range tomorrow. Since the other families have already begun to move, our City Lord"s Mansion naturally cannot be left behind." Feng Wuji smiled faintly with a deep look in his eyes, making it unclear what he was thinking.
.....
The next day, when the first ray of sunlight shone onto the ground, the entire Blue Wind City had also instantly boiled up. Countless martial artists roared and rushed out of the city gate, heading towards the back of the Blue Wind City. That was the Sunfire Mountain Range. After all, the ruin was also within that mountain range.
Dozens of people also came out from the three great families. The weakest of these people was at the Early Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm while the stronger had already reached the Late Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm.
However, not everyone moved this time. They also needed to keep guards to protect the family, otherwise, what would they do even if they obtained the inheritance from the ruins. Without the family, what use would there be for these inheritances?
Blue Wind City, City Lord"s Mansion, there were more than a dozen people gathered here. Even though they were only standing there quietly, they could still feel fighting spirit radiating from each other"s bodies.
"Dongfang Shang, this time, you will lead the team into the ruins. Ye Xiao is young and inexperienced. You must take good care of him." Feng Wuji said to the middle-aged scholar.
The middle-aged scholar nodded seriously: "Rest a.s.sured lord, I will take good care of Young Master Ye Xiao."
"Brother Ye Xiao, be careful." Feng Zhidie walked to Ye Xiao"s side and asked in concern.
"Don"t worry."
Ye Xiao smiled and then walked to Dongfang Shang"s side. He didn"t say anything when Feng Wuji told Dongfang Shang to protect him. He just kept smiling.
"Oh yeah, if you find anything good in the relic, remember to bring it back to me." Feng Zhidie said slyly.
Ye Xiao laughed. That was probably what Feng Zhidie wanted to say the most. After being together for so many days, he knew that other than being afraid of roaches and the dark, Feng Zhidie was also a person who was not afraid of the heavens or the earth.
If it wasn"t for the danger this time, in addition to Feng Wuji and Su Xuan"s strong opposition, this little girl would definitely have pestered Ye Xiao to bring her there.
"Got it, I will definitely bring you a big bag of good stuff." Ye Xiao smiled and mounted his horse. He turned to Dongfang Shang and said, "Mr. Dongfang, let"s go."
In this period of time, he had gained some understanding of this middle-aged scholar who was following beside Feng Wuji. His thin and weak appearance, in reality, only meant to fool others. He was actually quite strong and other than those strong pract.i.tioners at the Half-Step Immortal King Realm or above, there were very few people who could be his match.
Most importantly, Dongfang Shang was extremely intelligent. If he wanted to play someone to death, the other party would not even realize it. He was definitely a dangerous person.
"Let"s go."
After hearing Feng Wuji"s voice, Dongfang Shang smiled then he cupped his hands towards Feng Wuji and the others, and with a pinch of his horse, he took the lead to rush out. Behind him, the guards of the City Lord"s Mansion also swiftly followed.
Ye Xiao waved his hand towards Feng Wuji, Feng Zhidie, and the rest. Without wasting any time, he also jumped out.
Feng Wuji"s eyes were deep and profound as he watched Ye Xiao and the rest leaving figures.
"Brother Feng, is it worth it for you to invest so heavily in Ye Xiao?" Su Xuan furrowed her brows as she asked. She knew that the way Feng Wuji saw people were extremely accurate. This had a lot to do with the cultivation technique one is cultivating. However, it was her first time seeing Feng Wuji invest so much in a teenager. An investment was something that would make any sect"s genius jealous.
"Of course it"s worth it. Su Xuan, your vision still needs a bit longer. Believe me, this small Blue Wind City is unable to trap Ye Xiao. Even this Golden Kingdom is not able to trap him."
Feng Wuji said in a deep voice with a smile in his eyes.
Su Xuan was shocked. This was the first time she had heard Feng Wuji give such a high evaluation of someone. Even "that monster" from the Feng Family could not get him to praise her so much.
"Kid, you better not disappoint Big Brother Feng." Xuan Su softly sighed in her heart. Although she knew that Ye Xiao was extremely powerful and there was not a single person of the younger generation in the Blue Wind City that could defeat him but it was limited to the Blue Wind City only.
Blue Wind City was only a small city of the Golden Kingdom. There were hundreds of thousands of cities much more powerful than the Blue Wind City in the Immortal Star World.
