Earlier, when they infused their spiritual energy into the Breaking Formation Flag, the Nascent Soul and Soul Formation stage cultivators had already coordinated with their disciples from their respective sects.
At the first opportunity, all Nascent Soul and Soul Formation stage practitioners, along with their disciples, surged madly into the opened passage.
Naturally, these sect-based groups did not allow their disciples to enter alone. Most of the younger generation came with the intent of gaining experience.
Entering alone would be no different from seeking death.
Seeing this, Ouyang Mingyue looked on with a hint of helplessness.
But he had long anticipated such a scene.
He once again made a hand seal, and a spiritual mark was instantly placed on the Breaking Formation Flag.
He did not withdraw it. Instead, he firmly planted it in place.
This prevented the chaotic barrier energies on both sides from reconsolidating into the enclosing gray mist.
As long as the Breaking Formation Flag remained here, the barrier outside the Dantai Ruins would be unable to form a closed loop.
There would forever be this gap.
“The Dantai clan once had the momentum to challenge the top power in Qingzhou.
The fact that it could provoke outside forces to obliterate it signifies its extraordinary nature.
It is not a local power of Qingzhou. The mysteries within cannot be easily deciphered by those who arrive first.”
After completing these actions, Ouyang Mingyue calmly returned to the group of the Alchemist Association.
After speaking to himself, he looked at the members of the Alchemist Association with a smile and said, “Although there should be no first-come-first-served advantage in this ruin, it’s not ideal to delay entering until the end.
Remember, the treasure hunt is secondary; gaining experience is the most important thing.”
When Ouyang Mingyue said this, his gaze was particularly focused on Bai Xiu and the younger generation.
He then took out his flying vessel and led the members of the Alchemist Association into the passage opened by the Breaking Formation Flag.
Similarly, the Evil Moon Sect’s Longyan Branch, Holy City Treasure Gathering Pavilion, and Dongxuan Academy did not rush to enter the passage immediately.
These forces had some grudges with Su Jingzhen and his group. At such a critical moment, they instinctively observed Su Jingzhen’s position before taking action.
However, they were surprised to see that Su Jingzhen and his group had already disappeared.
“The Dantai clan’s heir was supposed to be with the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang Branch. Now we’ve actually lost track of them. This is unacceptable!”
“I’m certain they did not rush into the passage opened by the Breaking Formation Flag right away.
At such a crucial moment, their disappearance must mean that they haven’t given up on the treasures inside. The Dantai heir must have access to another secret entrance to the ruins!”
Members of Dongxuan Academy muttered this with a face full of intense frustration. Particularly, Cang Yun, who had nearly been killed by Su Jingzhen, was filled with both deep resentment and extreme anger.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen had already become his inner demon.
As long as Su Jingzhen was alive, Cang Yun’s achievements in this lifetime might be forever stalled.
“Elder, by now, you should also believe in my foresight, right? The Dantai heir is crucial to this expedition into the Dantai Ruins.
If we can obtain her, we might get everything we desire this time!”
Cang Yun continued to try to convince Han Ning and the others to change their minds.
Upon hearing this, Han Ning sighed once more.
“Why do you always fail to understand? We have never doubted the accuracy of your foresight.
It’s just that we don’t have the confidence to confront Shen Yifeng head-on.
As I mentioned before, even if the two of us teamed up, we would still fear him somewhat.
If our goal at the Dantai Ruins was truly the treasures within, then why are we not leading a group of Nascent Soul cultivators, or even all the Soul Formation stage forces of Dongxuan Academy?
Instead, we only brought the eight of you younger ones?
The main purpose was to give you all some experience. Don’t let a chance encounter cause us to deviate from our original objective.”
As Han Ning’s words settled, the other seven young cultivators fell into contemplation. Although Cang Yun did not say more, a trace of unwillingness remained in his eyes.
Han Ning, having explained his stance, said no more. The aura of the Soul Formation stage then enveloped the eight young cultivators, and they followed the main group into the passage.
“Young Master, should we try to search for them?”
At this moment, Elder Qin from the Holy City Treasure Gathering Pavilion looked at Tuoba Junlin with a somewhat gloomy expression.
Their attention had been entirely drawn by Ouyang Mingyue’s Breaking Formation Flag, and they had not anticipated such a maneuver from Su Jingzhen and his group.
Hearing this, Tuoba Junlin’s expression wavered, but he soon shook his head.
“Search? Where would we even look?
If Dantai Xuening truly found another way into the ruins, they might have entered long ago.
Searching now would be futile.
Let’s enter the ruins first, and we can deal with the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang Branch later.”
After speaking, Tuoba Junlin and Elder Qin entered the passage.
This time, there were only two of them from the Holy City Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
This reduced the unnecessary complications.
On the other side, Zou Zeyu, after a moment of contemplation, made the same choice as Tuoba Junlin.
“Since that’s the case, let’s resolve all the disturbances inside the ruins.”
……
“Xuening, is it really possible?
If we end up being the last ones to enter, we might miss out on many opportunities.”
Upon hearing this, Xuening smiled slightly.
“Brother Su, don’t worry.
After the Breaking Formation Flag gathered everyone’s power, I sensed the presence of Grandpa and Little Ling again.
I also received a subtle message from Grandpa.
They are indeed inside the ruins, and if they can enter, so can I.”
At these words, Su Jingzhen and Shen Yifeng’s expressions brightened with joy.
Xuening was usually very modest, so if she spoke with such confidence, it was genuine.
In fact, the location where Su Jingzhen and his group were, was only about a hundred yards away from the passage used by the main group.
Xuening had easily led them into the mist.
Tuoba Junlin and others could not see them.
Before them, the chaotic and turbulent energies continued to swirl, with the gray mist obscuring the view ahead.
At that moment, Xuening’s expression suddenly became serious.
She drew a drop of essence blood from the tip of her right index finger.
With a hand seal, she infused two spiritual marks into the essence of blood.
The next moment, the drop of essence blood began to emit a five-colored radiance within the gray mist.
Xuening used the drop of blood essence in front of her and slowly moved towards the depths of the gray fog.
Wherever the essence and blood passed, the gray mist retreated.
Indeed, a path was opened up.
