In the city lord's palace, eighteen people gathered here in a hall.
"Haha, everyone, please introduce yourselves."
The Lord of Yuncheng, Lu Hao, said with a smile as he looked at the outstanding people selected from all over Xi County.
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in white robes stood up and said with a little arrogance in his eyebrows: "The handsome man in the city of Xijun is a great martial artist."
After saying this, many people immediately looked at him. Unexpectedly, there were people coming from Xijun City. And the realm of a great martial artist is probably the highest among the people present!
Gong Jun put his hands behind his back, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth. He enjoyed these feelings, and at the same time, he also knew that when he revealed his identity, he would have such a reaction.
Because he comes from the main city of Xi County!
"Xijuncheng Yangliu, martial artist realm, nice to meet you!"
"Tang Chen from Xijun City is at the level of a martial artist. Please give me some advice."
After Gong Jun, two people stood up one after another, both from Xijun City.
After they finished speaking, a young man in black robes stood up. There was no expression on his square face, and he said calmly: "Suppressing Dragon Sect, Wang Qing." After that, he sat down and introduced himself briefly, without saying anything like I confessed my martial arts realm before.
Su Chen glanced at him with a somewhat thoughtful look. Although he didn't mention the realm, he felt that this Wang Qing had probably transcended the martial arts realm and reached a higher level.
While looking at him, Wang Qing's dark and calm eyes turned around intentionally or unintentionally, their eyes met, and then Wang Qing nodded slightly, then looked away.
Su Chen was startled, thinking that this person was interesting.
Apart from Wang Qing, there are two others left in Zhenlong Sect, both of whom are women.
"Zhao Yuqing of Zhenlong Sect, martial arts master."
"Dong Shishi of the Zhenlong Sect is at the level of a martial artist."
After the introduction of the two women, the eyes of some men in the hall trembled slightly. Zhao Yuqing and Dong Shishi had very gentle names, but they were not like that. Their appearance was regular, and their skin was a little dark due to martial arts training. Wearing a training uniform is a bit too tough...
Then Bai Ling and three others from Wanxi Gate came.
Next is the last of the three sects, the Fist Fist Sect.
"Fist Master Liu Mao, martial artist realm!"
"Feng Fist Sect Yang Le, martial artist realm!"
"Xu Kun, the Fist Master, is in the martial arts realm!"
Perhaps due to the martial arts practiced by the Fengquan Sect, the fingers, palms, and arms of the three people are much thicker than ordinary people.
The next ones are like Jiang Li and Su Chen, who come from various cities; the Wang family, Wang Wei, Yi family, Yi Yi of Longjiang City, and the young masters of Bianzhou City, Pan Pu, Yu family, and Yu Yi.
The last ones were naturally Jiang Li from Lintong City and Su Chen from Nandeng City.
There were seventeen people in total.
When Su Chen and Jiang Li said that they were warriors in the martial arts realm, in an instant, everyone's eyes focused on the two of them.
A warrior can actually be selected?
Bai Ling frowned. In the previous conversation, she only felt that Su Chen and the two were magnificent and extraordinary, but she never thought that their martial arts realm was only that of a warrior.
"Is it wrong to befriend them?"
Bai Ling secretly thought, after all, everyone present except the two of them are martial arts masters.
Many people had their own thoughts, but because the city lord was here, they didn't clarify them.
The Lord of Yuncheng obviously knew some inside stories, so he didn't show any strange expression like others.
Su Chen took in all their changes and shook his head secretly. The appearance of two warriors among the average martial arts masters per capita was really eye-catching.
"Brother Su, their looks make me very uncomfortable."
At this time, Jiang Li came over and whispered. When he saw these people, because they were in the realm of warriors, their eyes changed, which made him feel quite unhappy.
"Words are pale, but facts speak louder than words."
Su Chen said that he would not waste his time on such meaningless things.
Jiang Li thought for a while and nodded slightly. Taking this opportunity, he could also see that those people were worth making friends with.
Seeing that everyone had been introduced, the city lord said with a smile: "You already know that the ancient ruins explored this time are called 'Qitan Ancient ruins'."
"But do you know why it is called this name?"
Everyone shook their heads, knowing that they were here to explore a monument that had never been opened before.
Jiang Li's eyes revealed his thoughts. His father had told people everything about the ancient ruins, but he was wondering whether to say it out.
The Lord of Yuncheng looked at him with deep meaning in his eyes, "Young Master Jiang, do you know?"
He knew the identity of the former, and saw the changes in the people in the hall, and sneered in his heart, "Is the prince's nephew someone you can underestimate?"
Therefore, he planned to help find the place.
Jiang Li glanced at him. This old boy had no good intentions. In one sentence, he attracted everyone's attention to himself. He couldn't help but keep a low profile.
"Tsk, it's just a warrior who knows what's going on."
The hall was already very quiet, and this discordant sound fell clearly into everyone's ears.
"this……"
Everyone couldn't help but shrink their necks, their eyes were dark and wandering. Whoever dared to say this cruelly, they all dared to think about it in their hearts.
The Lord of Yuncheng frowned and cast his cold eyes in the direction of the Xijun City team. To be precise, it landed on Xijun City, Yang Liu!
The latter suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, and the contemptuous expression on his face immediately faded away. He was certain that if he said one more word, something would definitely happen.
Jiang Li's eyes were cold and he turned to Yang Liu, martial artist? Amazing?
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "It is said that the entrance to the historical site is in a pool, but that is not the reason why it is called a strange pool."
"The area inside the monument is unknown. It was initially less than a hundred feet. But the strange thing is that the scene inside the monument will change randomly."
"The reason why it has not been opened for a long time is because there has been no way to crack it. It was not until recently that someone cracked it and entered the real monument."
"Bah bang bang!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of Yuncheng clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Not bad, exactly the same!"
Then, he asked, "Since we are at the bottom of the pool, how should we enter?"
Jiang Li couldn't help but glance at him, not knowing why, thinking, aren't you the city lord in charge of these things? Why are you asking me?
However, he still replied: "There are agencies." He only gave a simple answer to this question.
The Lord of Yuncheng nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Yangliu, and then said: "In order to achieve the effect of experience, the king specially requested that this time to explore the ancient ruins, you need to find your own way out of the strange pool and enter the real ancient ruins. Regardless of whether you sign up for a group Team up or go it alone.”
"Now, come with me."
After saying that, the Lord of Yuncheng took the lead and walked out of the hall. Su Chen and Jiang Li followed immediately, as did everyone else, but they would take one more look at Yangliu before standing up.
He was the one who made the disdainful remarks, and Jiang Li's subsequent actions were equivalent to slaps one after another on his face.
Gong Jun stood up expressionlessly, and when he walked past Yang Liu, he said, "Idiot!"
…
The mountains are cool and the cold pools are clear.
There is a hidden passage in the City Lord's Mansion. Through this secret passage, you can go directly to a gap. When you look up, you can see the blue sky and white clouds. The stone walls on both sides look like mountain walls.
A clear pool of water is in between this gap.
"Kakaka..."
The Lord of Yuncheng reached out and pressed his hand on the stone wall, and a rhythmic and crisp sound suddenly sounded in the space between them. After a few breaths, huge bubbles surged at the bottom of the deep pool.
The water in the pool decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, all the water in the pool disappeared, and the bottom was exposed. Instead of the rubble that had been seen before, a stone staircase leading to the ground was revealed in front of everyone's eyes.
"Under these steps is the historic space."
The Lord of Cloud City said.
All that needs to be said is said. Whether they can step into a real historic site depends on their own destiny.
"Get down!"
As the only great martial artist on the surface, Gong Jun gave an order with a pair of dark eyes that showed no fluctuations.
In an instant, the three people from Xijuncheng headed by him jumped down, landed steadily on the stone steps at the bottom of the pool, stepped down, and quickly disappeared from everyone's eyes.
"Let's go down too."
Seeing that someone was already in the lead, the remaining people jumped off one after another, and soon only Su Chen, Jiang Li, and the Lord of Yuncheng were left.
Needless to say, Jiang Li was with Su Chen.
"Mechanism...weapon refining technique..."
Su Chen said to himself that when the machine was operating, he had sensed a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy, and that's when he suddenly thought of refining the weapon. In the civilization of cultivating immortals, the weapon refiner has the ability to turn decay into magic. The ancient ruins in front of you are most likely the cave of a weapon refiner.
The Lord of Yuncheng stood beside him and did not urge him.
"let's go."
Standing here, you won't gain anything more. Whether it is yes or no, you will know when you go down and take a look.
…
The further down the stone steps go, the weaker the light becomes.
In a dark environment, people's deepest fears can be easily induced.
"Gulu..."
Jiang Li couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. In the quiet environment, such a subtle sound became clearly audible.
Even though he was calm now, he was actually a little panicked inside because they had been walking on the steps for who knows how long. They kept looking towards the end, not to mention the end, and even the backs of those who came down early were not seen.
Su Chen was very calm, and in such an environment, it didn't seem to affect him at all.
"Tap...tap...tap..."
I don’t know how long I walked, but there was no light in the entire space. Every step I took, there was a sound.
"Are you scared?"
Su Chen paused and said suddenly.
"No."
Jiang Li responded and said quickly.
"..." Su Chen was speechless.
Before saying this, could you please let go of my clothes?
However, it can also be felt that Jiang Li's spirit is currently under high tension. If there is no one around, he may have collapsed.
Counting the time, they have been walking on these stone steps for nearly eight hours!
If you don't have strong willpower, you will get lost in the darkness and even have hallucinations.
Jiang Li is already very good.
"If you want to go out, just listen to me."
Su Chen opened his mouth and said.
"good!"
Jiang Li nodded repeatedly, he felt like he couldn't stand it anymore! But what Su Chen said next left him stunned.
"Jump down."
"Ah...ah?"
"ah!!!"
Only the screams echoed in the long dark passage.
"You can jump as long as you want. What nonsense is that?" Su Chen complained. After saying that, he jumped up and jumped down.
