Chapter 193: Great Sage Ruins
The Mercenary Guild officially opened in Zhongzhou, and more and more mercenary groups rushed to Canglan City to register, Chu Ming completely delegated his power, and Qin Yan took full authority to handle the affairs of the guild, and he quietly left Canglan City again.
Wan'er has not returned to Apocalypse City since she went to Apocalypse City, and there has not even been any news coming back, so she can rest assured that Chu Ming decided to go in person.
Xiaoxue's rank is rising day by day, and now it is already a sixth-order high, and he really travels thousands of miles a day, but in three or four days, he has already entered the scope of Apocalypse City.
Below is an endless dense forest, faintly there is a roar of demonic beasts, feeling that Xiaoxue is a little excited, Chu Ming patted its neck and said, "I'll go over by myself, you put me down and play here for a while!" β
Chirp β
The snow-white frozen divine bird raised its head and let out a long cry, startling many birds in the forest.
Surrounded by the Apocalypse Mountain, the Apocalypse City was built on top of a towering mountain, and it looked like a city in the sky from a distance, and Chu Ming didn't have to worry about finding his way to the city.
After walking through the mountains and dense forests for a while, I have seen some spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses along the way, but now it is difficult to enter Chu Ming's magic eyes. Before returning to Zhongzhou with Jin Yu, several beast kings in Luoxia Mountain gave elixirs full of more than a dozen rings, all kinds of things.
Soon, Chu Ming arrived in front of a deep valley, and when he looked up, he could faintly see the majestic ancient city in the clouds and mist in the distance. As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, and it takes a little effort to get there.
"Stop, whoever!"
was staring at the Apocalypse City in the distance, and a few people suddenly came out of the forest, Chu Ming had already noticed that there were many people around, and he thought that he was just an adventurer who had been trained in the mountains, but now it seems that it is not so simple.
Several people are uniformly dressed, but they are not mercenaries, but more like the guards of a big family. Seeing the vigilant looks on their faces with swords in hand, Chu Ming frowned and said, "Passers-by!" β
"This road is not passable, let's take a detour!"
Detours? This mountain forest is so vast, wouldn't it be a big circle to detour? Staying here and not letting people into the valley, could it be that there is some treasure or something unsightly in it?
Chu Ming's mind moved slightly, he arched his hand and turned to say goodbye, and after getting out of the sight of several people, he immediately restrained his breath, and plunged into the deep valley from the other direction.
After entering the deep valley, Chu Ming found that it was more tightly guarded, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was three steps, one sentry, five steps, and one post, and judging from the clothes and positions of those people, it was clear that people from different forces were working together to completely block this area.
"Something's wrong! I want to see what secrets are hidden here! β
The hidden aura continued to sweep closer for a distance, and soon Chu Ming arrived in the center of the deep valley, hiding behind a boulder and looking, only to see four or five waves of people gathered at the bottom of the valley, arguing fiercely.
"We discovered this place first, why don't we let it in!"
"That's it, isn't the big family amazing? Don't let us in, I'll send a message to the brothers outside to spread the news that there is a mysterious secret realm, don't think about it! β
Mysterious and secret?
Chu Ming was full of curiosity, and when he looked closely, he found that there was a small enchantment flickering on the wall of the deep valley, and there was a spatial passage hidden behind him.
"It's not without reason that these brothers are right! In this way, everyone present can enter after the entrance is opened, and as for what you can get later, it is up to you to do it! β
An old man who looked quite prestigious stepped forward.
"Mr. Gu is right, each according to his ability!"
"Senior Gu, they are just a group of loose cultivators, what qualifications do they have to compete with our three major families?" A young man in a blue brocade robe was a little dissatisfied.
"It's just that letting this group of guys who haven't seen the world in will only add to the chaos, if they are stupid and touch some mechanism, we will all have no good fruit to eat!" The other party was led by a young girl in her twenties with a proud face, and she also echoed the words.
"What's wrong with the casual cultivation! You look down on us for casual cultivation, don't you? β
"Aren't the three families amazing! Our Iron Wolf Mercenary Group has joined the Mercenary Guild, aren't we qualified to enter? β
The three major families of Apocalypse City, the Gu family, the Wang family, and the Zheng family. Before coming, Chu Ming had a general understanding of the situation in the Apocalypse City, and the highest prestige in the city was undoubtedly the Tianqi Pavilion Wen clan, and in addition to that, there were the three major families, the Nangong family, as a hidden family, was very low-key on weekdays, but it was rarely known to the people at the bottom.
The people of the three major families have all arrived, could it be that they know the origin of this secret realm?
Chu Ming was secretly observing, and suddenly noticed a familiar aura rapidly approaching, and his face suddenly became happy.
A shadow galloped from another direction, and when she saw the surprise on her face after seeing the boulder, she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen the Holy Monarch!" β
The person who came was Xuanji.
"Why are you here? What about Wan'er? β
"Madame has not moved since she entered the Nangong family, and she didn't go out of the house until this morning to inform her that she would stay in the Nangong family for a while because of something, so I asked me to rush back first and explain. Passing by here, I sensed the breath of the Nine Nether Stones in the Holy Monarch's body, so I came over! β
I see! Chu Ming thought back to what Wan'er had said on the second day of the wedding, as long as she went to Nangong's house, she would never have to worry about cultivation in the future, and this may be the reason for her stay.
Knowing that Wan'er was safe now, Chu Ming was not in a hurry, and signaled to Xuanji, and the two quietly blended into the casual cultivation team.
"The entrance seems to be open!"
An exclamation rang out from the crowd, and the barrier on the mountain wall completely dissipated, and the exposed energy channel gradually stabilized.
"Everybody, let's get inside!"
One of them rushed to the entrance of the cave with a scream, and as soon as he jumped up, he fell down again, and a large hole appeared in his chest, and blood gushed out, and after a few convulsions, he quickly stopped moving.
A group of scattered cultivators were so frightened that they all retreated, staring at the young woman who had just made a move.
"It's already a gift to let you in, and you want to get ahead of us, you don't know whether you live or die!" The woman returned her long sword to the sheath, swept the crowd with a frosty face, and said coldly: "Without the permission of the three of us, whoever dares to act recklessly will die!" β
"This woman is Zheng Ying, the young lady of the Zheng family, although she is a daughter, she is ruthless, and she is also famous for her murder in Apocalypse City." Xuanji lowered her voice and explained.
"Don't you seeβyou're interested in all this gossip too?" Chu Ming quipped.
Xuanji pursed her lips and said, "I have been waiting for Mrs. in the city for this time, and I have listened to other people's discussions. β
This woman is so ruthless, and it is obviously commonplace to careless about people's lives, and Chu Ming really doesn't have a good impression of her.
"Gigglesβwhat a big breath, do you really think your three major families are superior? And what if I want to go in? β
A crisp voice that made Chu Ming feel familiar suddenly sounded, and then a shadow swept away the guards of the three major families guarding outside, and approached proudly with his head held high.
It's her?
"It's to ask Miss!"
"It's good if Miss Q is here!"
"Ask Miss, you want to administer justice for us!"
The leaders of the three major families also had their eyes flickering after seeing Tianshuang, especially Zheng Ying, who had made a move before, and her face was indescribably ugly.
"Hehehe, it turned out that Miss Qian came in person, but I didn't expect that even your Apocalypse Pavilion would be so interested in this secret realm!" The old man known as Mr. Gu stepped forward with a smile.
"It turned out to be Mr. Gu, you are known to be virtuous, how come you saw someone committing murder but ignored it?" The little girl spoke sharply, and called Mr. in her mouth, but there was no respect at all.
"Miss Q said it's funny, where does an old man of mine have the ability to point fingers at Miss Zheng!"
Mr. Gu waved his hand again and again, but the smile on his face fell on Chu Ming's eyes, but it was so hypocritical.
He can see that the leaders of these three families don't seem to be good things, this old guy has a knife in his smile, the girl of the Zheng family is vicious, and the young man surnamed Wang is even more clear that he looks down on the scattered cultivators, and his nose is about to go to the sky.
Wen Tianshuang pursed his lips with disdain, and said: "Since it is a secret realm, the treasure should also rely on its own ability, what are you waiting for?" Still not in yet? β
"Thank you for asking, Miss!"
"Thank you for asking, Miss!"
Obviously, in the eyes of the scattered cultivators, Tianshuang was more prestigious than Zheng Ying, and they couldn't wait to sweep towards the entrance of the cave.
Zheng Ying's face was extremely ugly, but she didn't dare to make another move.
Chu Ming and Xuanji also mixed in the crowd and got into the passage, and he deliberately avoided the sight of the little girl who asked the family, for fear that he would be recognized and cause trouble.
The re-stepping ground was already in a quaint hall, and there was nothing around, only seven energy channels appeared again in front of the Qi Brush, and above the passage were four quaint characters with iron pens and silver hooks - Tianyuan Holy Realm.
"Tian Yuan Holy Realm...... Could it be that this is the inheritance of the Great Sage of Tian Yuan? β
"You can't be wrong! The Great Sage of Tian Yuan became famous in Apocalypse City, and it is not surprising that the fallen leaves return to their roots and leave the inheritance here! β
"It turned out to be the inheritance of the Tianyuan Great Sage, if you can get an old man like him, it is not impossible to become an emperor in one day!"
......
Tian Yuan Great Sage? Listening to everyone's discussions, Chu Ming was confused. However, only by cultivating to the peak of the Holy Rank can he be named a Great Sage, and the inheritance of a peak Sage, it is no wonder that everyone is so excited.
"Tian Yuan Great Sage...... Holy Monarch, I remembered...... My father mentioned this person to me on his deathbed...... He seems to have a lot to do with our Nine Shadows clan! β
Something to do with the Nine Shadows? This is Chu Ming is more interested in this ruin.
The three major families and Wen Tianshuang and his party followed closely to the main hall, looking at the seven passages in front of them, but there was a strange silence in the hall where hundreds of people gathered. Of the seven passages, it is likely that only one of them hides a way to survive, and which passage to choose suddenly becomes a problem.
"Hehehe-the entire Apocalypse City knows that Miss Q is unparalleled in intelligence, I don't know if I see a little way, which way to go?"
Mr. Gu suddenly smiled at Wen Tianshuang and asked.
In fact, even Chu Ming was quite curious about this in his heart. The Wen clan is proficient in the art of deduction, so they can carry forward the Apocalypse Pavilion to such an extent, but I don't know how much this girl of the Wen family has inherited her mother's mantle?
