For the next half a year, Xiao Zhan stayed in retreat at his residence.

Sun Hu and the others also devoted themselves to cultivation and did not come to disturb Xiao Zhan.

Until this day, three bells rang throughout the Huayan Sect.

Sect Master Liu Qingfeng's voice immediately sounded:

"He Qiang, Murong Fei, Li Ping, He Fang, Sun Quan, Xu Zhong, Wu Hao, Liu Jun, Zhao Si, come to Huayan Hall immediately."

Hearing this, almost all the disciples of the Huayan Sect began to discuss.

"What's wrong, why did the sect master suddenly summon nine swordsmen?"

"Something must have happened!"

At the same time, Xiao Zhan also received a summons from Liu Qingfeng, asking him to rush to Huayan Palace.

When Xiao Zhan arrived, he found that there were already twelve people in the main hall.

Except for the sect masters Liu Qingfeng and Liu Ruyan, the other ten people Xiao Zhan didn't know.

Come to think of it, nine of these ten people are the sword who was called, and there is another one, Xiao Zhan doesn't know who it is.

Xiao Zhan's gaze fell on the face of a person on the side.

This person looked unremarkable, wearing a gray-blue cloth robe, and his expression was calm, and he couldn't see anything unusual.

But the feeling he gave Xiao Zhan was completely different from others.

At this time, this person also glanced at Xiao Zhan and didn't say a word.

Liu Qingfeng exhaled a breath of turbid air at this time, and said with a solemn face:

"What are you going to do, I believe I don't need to explain it anymore."

"But I must warn you that after entering the ruins, you may encounter great dangers, and it is up to you to come back alive."

"Also, if you meet someone from the Pingyun Sect, they are likely to embarrass you, but...... Do not dwell on others, lest others take advantage of them."

"That's all I have to say."

"Once you're in the ruins, you'd better unite......

After two seconds of silence, Liu Qingfeng looked at Xiao Zhan, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at a young man, and said:

"Xu Zhong is the oldest of the twelve of you, and he has the most calm personality, and this time he will be the captain."

Hearing this, everyone didn't have much opinion.

After all, among the nine swordsmen, Xu Zhong was indeed the strongest.

Xu Zhong hugged his fists at Liu Ruyan, and then looked at Xiao Zhan and the others:

"I'll do what I can."

Just such a short sentence.

Liu Qingfeng took out twelve jade talismans at this time, sent them to everyone separately, and then nodded:

"Let me go."

After speaking, Liu Qingfeng waved his hand and flew out of Huayan Hall with everyone.

A flying boat has already appeared in mid-air.

Liu Qingfeng landed on the flying boat with everyone and sailed out in the northwest direction at great speed.

The speed of the flying boat is extremely fast, and in just three days, it has already flown hundreds of millions of miles, and finally came to an endless grassland.

In the grassland, there is a desolate and dilapidated city, and this is the destination of everyone.

Outside this ruined city, more than 100,000 people have gathered.

These people, except for the strong man who led the team, everyone else was the one who wanted to enter the ruins.

Liu Qingfeng led everyone to fall outside the city, pointed to the stone hall thousands of zhang high in the city, and said:

"That's the Cangmin Ancient Palace, one of the entrances to the ruins."

"When the ruins are opened, the jade talisman on your body will react, and when the time comes, you can enter the ancient city and enter the Cangmin Ancient Palace."

As he spoke, Liu Qingfeng's gaze swept around:

"I'll always be here waiting for you to come out."

"The ruins have been open for three years."

"Three years from now, as long as the jade talisman is still in your hands, you will still be teleported from here."

"Remember, the jade talisman must not be lost, otherwise in 10,000 years, when the ruins are opened again, our Huayan Sect will be reduced by one place."

Xiao Zhan suddenly asked:

"If only I could get more

's jade talisman, can there be more places?"

Liu Qingfeng nodded:

"So beware of others snatching your jade talismans."

"Also, if the jade talisman is snatched away, even if you are alive, you will not necessarily be teleported here, but may be teleported to a place where you will encounter unknown dangers, or even ...... It's possible to die right away."

Xiao Zhan and the others nodded, sat down cross-legged, and adjusted their state to their peak.

A day passed, and there was still no movement in the ancient city.

The next day, just after dawn, the whole plain suddenly began to shake.

It can be seen with the naked eye that the seemingly decaying gates of the ancient city began to slowly open to both sides, as if there was a pair of invisible hands controlling all this.

Liu Qingfeng's eyes lit up:

"It's time!"

Xu Zhong nodded and roared:

"Let's go!"

In the next moment, everyone's figures flashed and flew towards the city gate.

At the same time, the people gathered outside the ancient city also gathered towards the city gate.

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhong suddenly shouted:

"Get out of the way!"

Without the slightest hesitation, everyone immediately jumped to the side, not being squeezed into the crowd.

Because there were too many people rushing over, there was already chaos at the gate of the ancient city at this time.

Someone even screamed and was killed on the spot.

A moment later, at the gate of the ancient city, only Xiao Zhan and others were left, as well as corpses everywhere.

Xu Zhong and everyone glanced at each other, and everyone entered the ancient city.

The streets of the city were covered with a thick layer of ash and a large number of corpses.

Some of the corpses were weathered, while others were still bleeding from their newly lifeless bodies.

When Xiao Zhan and the others crossed the street and came to the outside of the Cangmin Ancient Hall in the core area of the city, there were still no other people here, only corpses everywhere.

Xu Zhong exhaled a breath of turbidity:

"Saving our lives is our first goal, and chance is only our second goal."

"And it's not like you can get the opportunity in advance if you go in early."

"It's not a good thing for us to let the people in front of us explore the way first."

The unusually tall and thin young man next to him said indifferently:

"Everyone else is in a hurry, after all, if you have a little more time, maybe the more likely you are to get a chance."

"Instead, we're struggling, and if you want me to see, we'll just wait until the ruins are closed, so there won't be any danger."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the tall and thin man.

On the way here, everyone had already known each other.

This unusually tall and thin man is named Wu Hao.

Hearing Wu Hao's words, Xu Zhong frowned slightly:

"And what do you think?"

Wu Hao said expressionlessly:

"Next, don't be afraid anymore."

"Chance and danger are directly proportional, I see your temperament, when you encounter danger, you will avoid it, I am afraid that even if you encounter an opportunity, you will let others rob it."

"Other......

Wu Hao chuckled:

"Xu Zhong, we tried last year, and you were a little stronger than me at that time, but a year has passed, and it's still unclear which is stronger or weaker between us."

"Moreover, if there are twelve of us, if we encounter chance, who will we be?"

Xu Zhong frowned:

"We need to unite and negotiate distribution when we have an opportunity."

"I don't believe it," Wu Hao said expressionlessly:

"Once we're completely inside the ruins, who knows if we'll have infighting because of chance? Anyway, no one outside will know what happens in the ruins."

"So ......" Wu Hao narrowed his eyes:

"I think it's better to go our separate ways."

Hearing this,

The others also frowned, but none of them spoke.

After all, what Wu Hao said is not without any truth.

Liu Ruyan's face was cold, a touch of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he deliberately glanced at Xiao Zhan, which seemed to say:

"Look, I told you a long time ago."

Indeed, half a year ago, Liu Ruyan told Xiao Zhan that the other people who entered the ruins together might not be trustworthy.

Xu Zhong glanced at Wu Hao coldly:

"Sect Master, have you forgotten the horizon?"

Wu Hao snorted coldly:

"The sect master chose you as the captain, I have no opinion."

"But your current performance makes me feel like you can't take us to chance."

"Moreover, if you have the life to go back alive, it is better to complain to the sect master."

After speaking, Wu Hao turned around and rushed towards the Cangmin Ancient Palace.

The rest looked at each other.

Then he saw He Qiang, Murong Fei and Li Ping, and they also turned around and left together.

He Fang, Sun Quan, Liu Jun and Zhao Si also followed and left.

There were only Xu Zhong, Xiao Zhan, Liu Ruyan, and the person whose name everyone didn't know.

That is the person Xiao Zhan is most interested in.

Even on the way here, this person has been cultivating all the time, and he has not said a word.

The most interesting thing is that the sect leader Liu Qingfeng did not mention any information about this person.

Liu Ruyan stood beside Xiao Zhan and got straight to the point:

"Two senior brothers, Xiao Zhan and I will team up together, if the two of you are willing to be together, then together, it doesn't matter if you don't go together."

Xu Zhong also looked at the unknown young man, and when he saw him nodding, he looked at Liu Ruyan and Xiao Zhandao:

"The Sect Master said let's be united."

"I can't stop those who want to act alone."

"Next, let's team up with the four of us."

"In addition," Xu Zhong looked at the unknown young man and said in a deep voice:

"This junior brother, we don't know your name yet, I know that you should have some secrets on you, so much so that the sect master didn't introduce your identity, but...... At least let us know what to call you?"

The young man nodded calmly and said slowly:

"Call me Zangfeng."

Zang Feng's voice was hoarse, but it inexplicably gave people a sense of stability.

Xu Zhong nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Although the Sect Master asked me to be the captain, I am by no means an arbitrary person."

"No matter what happens next, the four of us will discuss it."

After speaking, Xu Zhong turned around and walked towards the Cangmin Ancient Palace.

Standing at the door of the ancient hall, the four of them glanced at each other.

Xiao Zhan took out a golden rope and said:

"No one knows if we'll be forced to separate and hold on to this rope when we get in."

Liu Ruyan and Xu Zhong reached out and grabbed the rope for the first time, and Zang Feng was no exception.

In the next moment, the four of them stepped together and stepped into the ancient hall.

A strong feeling of dizziness hit instantly, and the consciousness of the four people was blurred instantly, and they subconsciously grabbed the rope in their hands.

When the sight of the four of them regained clarity, they found that they were already standing on the top of a peak.

The clouds are rolling underfoot.

But when I looked down, I found that this peak was suspended in the air.

There was nothing left below, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Zang Feng raised his foot and kicked a stone flying.

The stone did not fall, but flew straight ahead, eventually levitating in the air.

Xiao Zhan stepped out in one step, but he didn't even fall down.

In the next moment, the four of them flew out in unison, all the while observing their surroundings with great vigilance.
