Chapter 862: Opening Once More
she walked out from the back kitchen."Did you hear Shuangxue, my dear sister, never lies, you know." Xiaofengling said proudly.Although Xiaofengling is much older than Yè Shèngxuě in terms of years of...Upon hearing Wang Mingtong's words, all the present family heads turned their gazes over, eyes wide open.
The top spot on the celestial list held immense temptation for them.
If any branch could produce the number one on the Heavenly Rankings, it would be essentially equivalent to having the highest voice in the Wang family.
“Last time, our Beidu martial arts world didn't pay attention to the news released by the Peitian Bureau, but this time… we must be cautious.” Wang Mingtong said, “Those sects have decided to send their strongest disciples... They clearly attach great importance to the ancient ruins and are confident that there is an inheritance of ancient powerful beings inside.”
But, Bright Communication elder brother, how do you know that there will be an ancient relic opening again recently" Wang Xinghe asked.
“The Celestial Bureau passed on a message this morning, stating that ancient ruins are not just one but many. The last one was the first to be opened. And in the past two days, the second ancient ruin... is about to open.” Wang Mingtong said, “So, I suggest focusing our energy on this trial meeting.”
After listening to Wang Mingtong's words, the heads of various families looked at each other with varied expressions.
On second thought, it seems unnecessary to expend so much effort on revenge against Huixu at this juncture. After all, Wang Wenshan and Wang Xiaofeng are not from their branch anyway.
Moreover, as for the parties involved, Wang Zhishan and Wang Hetian, both seem unwilling to seek revenge. In that case, the other family heads don't really need to worry too much about it.
Although the Wang family's reputation has been tarnished, compared to obtaining an ancient legacy, having a branch become the number one on the Heavenly List... is nothing.
"Well then... let's follow Elder Mingtong's suggestion. As for the Martial Arts Association, we'll put things on hold for now. As for the Trial Tournament..." Wang Xinghe pondered for a moment before summarizing.
……
In the afternoon, the Sky Watching Bureau released the latest news.
Located on the outskirts of Beidu to the southwest, another ancient relic has been unearthed.
Just like last time, the Celestial Surveillance Bureau gave the same danger rating, still five stars.
But this time, the impact of the announcement was much greater than last time!
Intelligence spread throughout the North Capital martial arts world, seemingly coming from nowhere.
The current number one on the Heavenly Rankings, Long Shi, rose to prominence because he received a certain inheritance from an ancient relic that was opened last time. His strength surged, propelling him to the top spot on the Heavenly Rankings!
Given the unclear source of the information, it would likely be ignored in most other circumstances.
This time, however, the intelligence nearly exploded the entire Beidu Martial Arts world!
Most people are willing to believe this intelligence!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how Long Shi, a previously unknown nobody, could suddenly surpass so many prodigies and geniuses to reach the top of the Heavenly Ranking.
Furthermore, the news from the Celestial Observation Bureau is always factual.
Risk always comes with reward.
Since the ancient ruins have a danger rating of five stars, there must be something good inside!
This time, we must send a few prodigies to test the waters!
Whoever has strong enough fortune to obtain the ancient inheritance will have a chance to claim the top spot on the Heavenly Rankings!
The moment the message was released by the Sky-Peering Bureau, the entire Beidu martial arts world, whether it was a family or a sect, immediately began to prepare for entering the ancient ruins.
The second awakened ancient relic suddenly became a trial ground for young martial artists in Beidu.
……
Within the celestial observation bureau.
Bailinggu stood on the top floor of a tall building, gazing at the various ancient-style buildings characteristic of Beidu in the distance, his face impassive.
The bald old man stood behind him, his face grave, and let out a heavy sigh. "Lao Bai, things are developing in the worst direction... After the news from the Sky-Peering Bureau was released, the entire Beidu fell into madness."
Bái Kòng Gǔ stood with her arms behind her back, saying nothing.
Due to the demands of the Hidden God Society, information regarding ancient ruins must be released.
Ke Bai Konggu hadn't expected this time to cause such a big stir.
That's quite unusual.
It's as if there were an unseen hand silently guiding the course of events.
Within the ancient ruins, there are tales of inheritance, why Long Sha ascended to the top of the Heavenly Ranking...all sorts of intelligence, tempting all sides of the Beidu martial arts world to enter the ancient ruins.
Who is the hand behind this
Spirit Summoning
Those old monsters don't need to do that, it's beneath them.
Then... who could it be
"Elder Bai, are we just going to let this happen" the bald old man asked again.
Bai Konggu looked up at the somewhat gloomy sky and said, "Otherwise, what else can we do When the sky changes color, we can only take our clothes in early to avoid getting wet in the rain."
"Who can stop the raindrops from falling No one, not even I."
"What's more, we aren't even allowed to remind people to pick up their clothes anymore."
After saying that, Bai Konggu shook his head and turned to look at the bald old man. "Don't talk about this again in the future. I guess those old guys are watching us right now."
The old man with a bald head trembled all over, his face changing.
……
Hidden Forest Manor, in the tea pavilion.
"Worried that the Wang family will come knocking" Fang Yu looked at Huixu, whose face was grim, and said, "There's no need for that. It's certain that those from the Wang family won't be coming anytime soon. They are currently discussing which few prodigies to send into the ancient ruins."
"What worries me is this ancient relic," Huixu said. "Ever since we got word about the Dragon Slayer's legacy, the entire martial arts world of Beidu has been driven to near madness. It's as if entering the ancient relic guarantees a legacy..."
"From a bystander's perspective, you can definitely feel someone is pushing this from behind," Fang Yu said. "It could be the Halfling race, or it could be someone else, but their intentions are hard to say."
"To gather so many prodigies together, is this to wipe them all out in one fell swoop"
"Similar incidents have happened before..."
Fang Yu touched his chin, remembering what the Wushen Cult had done in Zhuixian Valley back then.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu stood up and said, "We'll know soon what they want. I'm going to the ancient ruins later."
Huixu was taken aback and looked at Fang Yu, asking in a slightly surprised tone, "Fang brother, are you going in"
"Such a place, of course, can't be missed," Fang Yu said. "Just in case there is some kind of inheritance, I might be able to use this to break through a few levels."
Huai Xu smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm really envious of Brother Fang. After cultivating for so many years, there is still room for improvement."
"This can only mean that I'm too weak. Someone even slightly stronger would have ascended to heaven after cultivating for a few thousand years." Fang Yu said, waving his hand and turning away from the tea pavilion.
……
Before heading to the ancient ruins, Fang Yu went back home.
In the treasure trove of his home, he retrieved two magical artifacts and placed them within the storage space of the ethereal ring.
Ready to go, he was about to depart.
Mr. Fang, are you going out again
At this time, Ye Shengxue and Zhao Zinan walked over.
The Void Devourer stood atop Zhao Zi'nan's head, looking arrogant and proud.
Besides Fang Yu, the Void Devourer prefers to stay by Zhao Zinan's side.
"This is getting out of hand." Fang Yu extended two fingers and pinched the Void Devourer's tail, lifting it up.
"Woof!"
The Void Devourer didn't struggle in the air, only letting out a soft bark.
"Fang Yu gege, it might hurt, be gentle..." Zhao Zi Nan said with some concern.
"Pain Don't worry, I'll just throw it on the ground and stomp on it a couple of times, it won't even feel a thing," Fang Yu said.
This Void Devourer, back then, had actually endured a punch of his nine-tenths strength and yet remained intact!
Would such creatures feel pain
It's highly improbable.
"Alright, I'm off. You guys play slowly." Fang Yu casually threw the Void Devourer aside, raised his right hand, and activated the Empty Spirit Ring.
Before it departed, the Void Devourer leaped onto Fang Yu's shoulder.
"Whoosh!"
One second later, the man and his dog vanished from the spot simultaneously.
Yè Shèngxuě and Zhào Zǐnán stayed in place, glancing at each other, just about to say something.
"The two of you stop dawdling there, there's something I need to assign to you today."
At this moment, Xiao Fengling's voice, pretending to be mature and wise, rang out.
Zhao Zin an and Ye Shengxue turned around and looked at Xiaofengling.
"Ever since the master brought back that Starfruit, our vegetable garden, fruit orchard, and herb patch have been overrun with weeds!" Xiao Fengling grumbled, "This afternoon, we're having a big weeding operation! We need to get rid of all these weeds!"
