The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Beside her, Hu Ling looked at Hu Lan and asked curiously, "Sister, you seem a little off? What's wrong?"

Hu Lan composed herself, a smile appearing on her face. She said, "It's nothing. Let's go back now. After this, you absolutely must not come out so easily again."

"Okay, sis, I promise I won't go out casually again!"

...

On the other side, the two headed deeper into the continuous mountain range.

It flew for several minutes before landing.

Xiao Qingyin looked around and finally pointed to a certain place and said, "That canyon over there is where we need to go."

canyon?

Lu Ye also looked in that direction and indeed there was a huge canyon about two meters wide that stretched forward.

As soon as the two entered the canyon, Lu Ye immediately sensed the auras of several powerful and ferocious beasts locking onto him.

With a slight frown, Lu Ye decided he didn't want to deal with these ferocious beasts, and a faint aura emanated from his body...

In an instant, the ferocious beasts that were eyeing the cliffs below trembled.

Its fierce eyes cleared, and it tucked its tail between its legs and fled the scene.

This terrifying aura is more frightening than even the absolute king of beasts in this mountain range.

Beside her, Xiao Qingyin saw that Lu Ye had only slightly released his aura, yet he had already scared away several fifth-order ferocious beasts that were comparable to grandmasters in the mortal realm.

He shook his head helplessly.

This person is now comparable to a humanoid ferocious beast.

Having arrived at the middle of the canyon, Xiao Qingyin pointed to a cave hidden in the right-hand rock wall and said.

"This is it. After going in, there's a teleportation array, and then there's a... ruins that look like some sect's remains?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Qingyin said somewhat uncertainly.

That place wasn't very big, but it was inhabited by ferocious beasts. Xiao Qingyin stumbled upon it by accident.

However, she didn't stay inside for long and only knew some general information about the place.

Fortunately, the teleportation arrays inside were not one-way, but two-way, allowing entry and exit. Otherwise, Xiao Qingyin felt that she would have perished that time.

The next moment, the two pushed aside the weeds and vines that blocked their way in the cave and entered.

Judging from the dark and damp environment inside, it's clear that almost no one else has been here.

The two were extremely familiar with the teleportation array, and upon arriving deep within the cave, they stepped directly onto it.

After his strength increased, his resistance to dizziness during teleportation intervals also improved significantly. At this moment, Lu Ye only felt a slight jolt in his mind before the scenery in front of him became clear again.

The first impression he got from the surrounding environment was that it was dark, as if the sun had not been seen for a long time.

Besides that, I instantly had a premonition that I was being watched.

Lu Ye immediately looked ahead, where the scene was roughly a vast expanse of ruins.

Everywhere you can see the ruins of broken and shattered buildings, some half of which are buried in the ground, with only a small part showing.

The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds and towering trees, like a deserted area that had been silent for thousands of years.

A moment later, Xiao Qingyin, who was recovering more slowly, also regained consciousness. Looking at the surrounding scenery that had changed so much over the years, she nodded and said, "This is it." "Do you sense... any danger?"

Lu Ye said in a low voice, "I sensed it. Where is the secret treasure you mentioned?"

"Over there, there's another shielding formation. You have to go through it to see the true state of this area," Xiao Qingyin pointed to the ruins.

The two had only taken two steps forward when a black venomous snake coiled on the tree trunk suddenly launched a silent attack.

However, no matter how well it was concealed, it couldn't escape Lu Ye's senses. In an instant, Lu Ye reached out...

laugh!
The jet-black venomous snake, which had reached the third rank and was comparable to the innate realm of humans, was instantly severed in two.

Seeing this, Xiao Qingyin quickly followed up with a normal attack, completely destroying it.

This place is truly terrifying; any ferocious beast lurking nearby could reach the level of the Innate Realm.

Even if others stumbled into this place by accident, they would perish within two minutes.

Upon entering the ruins of this ancient site, Lu Ye quickly realized that there was indeed a broken teleportation array there.

"So, this place used to be the outer perimeter of a powerful force, and the teleportation array must have been inside their sect," Lu Ye said after a moment's thought.

The sect was able to establish itself in a place that was divided into inner and outer layers.

This is something that many top forces in Xuanzhou cannot do now, which shows that this sect was once very powerful. It had talents who were proficient in formations within its own sect, or it had enough strength to hire formation masters from outside.

Before they even stepped into the teleportation array's range, an even larger, jet-black venomous snake swiftly flew in from afar and launched an attack on Lu Ye and his companion without hesitation.

This was clearly a peak fourth-tier black serpent beast, far surpassing the previous one in both speed and venom.

Once it got within a certain distance, the black venomous snake opened its ferocious maw without hesitation, spraying out a cloud of poisonous mist.

"This is after beating the young one, the old one has come?" Seeing this, Lu Ye showed a kind smile.

Since that's the case, while there's still plenty of time, let's just reunite them.

With a casual punch, the fourth-order perfected jet-black serpent, still in mid-air, exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

The poison sprayed over was blocked by Xiao Qingyin's timely erection of a Grandmaster-level protective shield in front of the two.

However, to Xiao Qingyin's surprise, the toxicity of these poisonous creatures was not to be underestimated!

In a short period of time, it actually melted away more than half of its protective shield.

Other places were also riddled with holes.

With a slight change in expression, Xiao Qingyin said in a low voice, "This poison is incredibly potent."

Originally, I just wanted to show off the strength of my Grandmaster's protective shield in front of this person. After all, he was once his sect leader. I never expected...

It almost crashed.

This damned snake, why is it so poisonous?
“That’s normal. The ferocious beasts here seem to be generally stronger than those of the same level outside. I wonder if it’s due to the environment.” Lu Ye glanced around and said, “Let’s go, let’s go into the teleportation array.”

Xiao Qingyin removed the protective shield and walked forward with Lu Ye, one in front of the other.

A moment later, the two figures disappeared from the spot again.

Less than five minutes after the two disappeared, a dark figure drifted over from afar, exuding boundless evil, staring at the spot where the two had left… (End of Chapter)
