The three elders of the Jingjue Ancient City clan, including the Sixth Ancestor, all looked toward the direction from which the shrill roar came from.
Suddenly, a huge light and shadow appeared in the sky above the location from which the sound came. The light and shadow was projected from the white crystal above and gradually became clearer and clearer, finally revealing a giant, strange bird phantom with two heads and two wings.
The strange bird's phantom filled half the sky, its wingspan resembling clouds hanging from the heavens, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.
"This is the Golden Fangtian Bird. Legend has it that it likes to live near the ancient ferocious beast White Tiger, using the power of White Tiger to intimidate its natural enemies."
The Sixth Patriarch spoke calmly, clearly recognizing the origin of the strange bird phantom. However, he, along with the Fifth and Seventh Patriarchs beside him, remained unmoved by the strange occurrence before them.
The master of Qingshan Tower gazed at the strange phenomenon in the distance of the underground White Emperor City, narrowed his eyes slightly, and remained silent, a meaningful look appearing in his eyes.
"I didn't expect that I guessed right. There were indeed other people besides us who entered the Tomb of the White Emperor."
At this moment, the Sixth Patriarch suddenly turned his head and looked at the master of Qingshan Tower.
Upon hearing this, the Master of Green Mountain Pavilion withdrew his gaze, his expression returning to normal, and he bowed slightly, saying:
"We're not the only ones eyeing the Tomb of the White Emperor, but I didn't expect this group to be so capable and able to get in."
"However, those people are no match for the vast knowledge of the three elders, and will only stop there. They will never be able to reach the true tomb of the White Emperor."
At this moment, the young man in blue robes who was following the Fifth Patriarch looked up and gazed into the distance, saying:
“Ancestor, those people have clearly triggered the mechanisms in the city. This Golden Sky Bird is a combination of divine techniques and ancient forbidden mechanisms from the Lu Gong Temple. If it is a method left behind by the White King a thousand years ago, even the top martial arts masters in the Western Desert might be in danger of losing their lives when facing it.”
Upon hearing this, the red-clad girl standing beside the Seventh Ancestor also gazed at the sky with eyes as clear as autumn water, and said:
"Even if the White King wanted to set up such a method, it wouldn't be easy. There shouldn't be many similar situations in the entire underground city. Therefore, it is very likely that some kind of precious remnant is stored there."
Upon hearing the words of the girl in red, the Fifth and Seventh Patriarchs exchanged a glance, then looked at the Sixth Patriarch and asked:
"It will still take some time to find the burial place of the ferocious beast White Tiger and the tomb of the White King. In the meantime, should we take action?"
Clearly, both the Fifth and Seventh Ancestors agreed with the red-clad girl's words and were gradually becoming interested in the "treasure" that might exist in the location of the Golden Sky Bird in the distance.
Faced with the questions from the two elders, the Sixth Patriarch did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned to look at the young girl, Ah Xiu, who was following behind him, and suddenly asked:
"What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the young girl, Ah Xiu.
Her gaze unconsciously drifted to the young man in blue and the young woman in red who were following the Fifth and Sixth Patriarchs. After hearing the Sixth Patriarch's question, the two of them also looked at the young woman, Ah Xiu.
The boy in green and the girl in red are recognized by the entire Jingjue Ancient City's remnant clan as the first chosen one and the first chosen one, and are also recognized by the clan elders as the true pride of the clan.
Not only do the two possess martial arts talent far surpassing that of others in their clan, but they also have special abilities and exceptional aptitude for mastering countless ancient secret techniques of their clan.
Although the young girl A-Xiu had also been chosen as the Chosen One, she was on a completely different level from the young man in blue and the girl in red before her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been abandoned to work in an unknown town, far from the core of her clan. The fact that A-Xiu was able to follow the Sixth Ancestor into the Tomb of the White Emperor and stand with the two people beside the Fifth and Seventh Ancestors was even more unexpected.
In terms of the upbringing they received from their clan and their understanding of the Tomb of the White Emperor, the young girl Ah Xiu was far inferior to the boy in green and the girl in red.
"Speak freely."
Just as the young girl Ah Xiu hesitated, the Sixth Patriarch spoke again, saying:
“I know you don’t want our clan to be at odds with that prince of Dali. It’s good that you have a heart that cares about the clan. But you must prove your worth before you have the right to speak on how things will turn out.”
The young girl, Ah Xiu, looked up at the Sixth Patriarch. His withered face was expressionless, as if he were talking about something completely unrelated.
Seeing this, the young girl Ah Xiu frowned slightly, then a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes, and she said softly:
“I think if there are treasures there, we should naturally fight for them. But if the person we are fighting for is the prince of Dali, my advice is to not fight for them.”
Upon hearing this, both the boy in blue and the girl in red, who had been watching the girl Ah Xiu, frowned.
They originally thought that the young girl Ah Xiu must have some unique insights and amazing words to be personally questioned by the Sixth Patriarch, but they really did not expect her to say such a thing.
Indeed, the prince of Dali mentioned by the young girl Axiu has recently become extremely famous in Baidi City, enjoying unparalleled popularity.
The young man in green and the young woman in red had heard much about each other's exploits in the martial arts world of Dali and Daxuan. However, they believed that the ancient Jingjue City clan had a profound foundation. Although they were wary of the rumored prince of Dali, they would not do something like the young woman Axiu, who would boost the morale of others and diminish their own!
"Sister, are you perhaps terrified because you witnessed the Great Li prince's power?"
The young man in blue couldn't help but ask, though he disdained the girl Ah Xiu's words, he showed no contempt on his face.
Faced with the young man in blue's blatant question, the girl Ah Xiu was not annoyed at all. She glanced at him and instead nodded gently, saying:
"You're right, but if you encounter it, you'll be the same."
Upon hearing this, the young man in blue was visibly taken aback, but quickly frowned and snorted coldly:
"It seems that my sister has not yet understood that a true strong person is one who can remain true to their original aspirations in the face of any setbacks and adversity."
"Let him be strong as he may, the breeze still caresses the mountain. If my sister's spirit is so easily broken, her future achievements are truly worrying!"
Upon hearing this, both the girl in red and the Fifth and Seventh Ancestors nodded slightly, clearly praising the young man in blue for his strong will.
"The path of martial arts is like rowing against the current. Whether it is cultivating martial arts divine skills or breaking through the shackles of realm, it requires a will far beyond that of ordinary people."
The girl in red spoke softly, withdrawing her gaze from the girl, Ah Xiu.
Compared to the clan's number one chosen one, the young man in blue, the girl Ah Xiu was clearly inferior, and such a person was naturally not worth her time.
At the same time, the Sixth Patriarch, with his white eyebrows reaching his chest, glanced at the young girl Ah Xiu, but did not comment on her words. Instead, he slowly said:
"Since it won't delay us, let's go take a look over there." (End of Chapter)
