Transmigrating into the body of a white-haired fairy, she also encounters a late-born woman seeking

Just then, ten figures walked up the stairs of the restaurant.

They were dressed in blue and white Taoist robes and had an extraordinary bearing.

Leading the group were three elderly men, both nearing sixty years old: two older men and one older woman.

The remaining seven are young men and women.

The group's attire makes them look like three sect elders leading several sect disciples on a training expedition.

It wasn't just an appearance; Lin Xi was a true disciple of the Xuanling Sect. You could tell the moment you saw them.

The arrival of this group finally made Chu Yang, who had remained silent throughout, turn his head and look past them.

However, he only glanced at it before looking away.

After the group took their seats, they began to chat.

Lin Xi used her magic to eavesdrop without any expression.

She vaguely heard the words "Cangyun".

Lin Xi immediately understood, because his Lin family was also within the territory of Jinlan.

There seems to be such a sect in the Qingzhou Jinlan Realm.

The Cangyun Sect is a first-class sect in the Jinlan Realm, with a lineage that has continued for thousands of years. Its sect patriarch was a Saint Realm expert.

These three leading elders should be elders of the Cangyun Sect.

They were probably all at the King-level cultivation stage.

Most of the remaining disciples were at the Spirit Sea Realm, with only one older disciple at the Core Formation Realm.

However, the Cangyun Sect is quite far from Qingyang City, so what are they doing here?

"......"

Not long after the Cangyun Sect members took their seats, a group of men in black robes slowly walked in from outside the restaurant.

They exuded a chilling aura, causing the people in the restaurant to avoid them and dare not provoke them.

After arriving on the third floor, I found an empty seat and sat down.

"I didn't expect the Yin Kui Sect to come too..."

Upon seeing this, Elder Rongtao, the most senior of the three elders of the Cangyun Sect, narrowed his eyes and showed a hint of solemnity.

"The Yin Kui Sect?"

Lin Xi was slightly taken aback. She also knew about the Yin Kui Sect, which was also a top-tier force in the Jinlan Realm.

However, the disciples of the Yin Kui Sect generally have low cultivation levels, but the puppets they create are extremely difficult to deal with.

Rumor has it that the Yin Kui Sect possesses three Saint-level puppets!

It is comparable to the Saintly Realm.

Meanwhile, the members of the Yin Kui Sect, having dealt with puppets for many years, are wicked and extremely vengeful.

Seemingly thinking of something, Lin Xi couldn't help but send a telepathic message to Chu Yang.

"With forces like the Cangyun Sect and Yin Kui Sect still appearing here, could it be that they've also come for the Crimson Cloud Ruins?"

Chu Yang didn't hide anything and nodded gently.

"They are located within the Jinlan Realm, and are a sect quite close to here. It is understandable that they have records related to the Crimson Cloud Ruins."

"If that's the case, you probably won't be able to inherit this legacy."

Lin Xi inwardly chuckled, but outwardly maintained a serious expression.

"Don't worry, if sacrificing your life can get you this opportunity, I actually think it's not bad."

"......"

Lin Xi forced a smile. Was he warning her not to do anything reckless?

"I think my destiny is more valuable than this opportunity, isn't it?"

"Who knows? You might stab me in the back again."

"After all, you now hate me to the core."

Chu Yang glanced at her expressionlessly.

"I don't!"

"My life is in your hands! You can't let me get hurt here!"

As she spoke, Lin Xi immediately reached out and shook the Soul-Cleansing Lock on her hand...

After Yin Kuizong entered and took his seat, he obviously noticed the Cangyun Sect's group.

What seemed like a chance encounter was actually filled with a subtle tension.

"I didn't expect the Yin Kui Sect to come too. Just as I thought..."

Elder Rongtao picked up his teacup, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the captain of the Yin Kui Sect across from him.

He Qi.

He was at the late stage of the King-level realm, just like him.

The two were of similar cultivation levels, but He Qi was far more ruthless than him.

The two clans are geographically close and have been interacting for over a century, so they naturally know each other.

"Elder Rongtao, it's been a long time." He Qi looked at Rongtao with a sinister gaze.

"Elder He, you're too kind," Rong Tao replied casually. "It's quite a coincidence that I'd meet a friend from the Yin Kui Sect in such a remote place."

"skillful?"

He Qi chuckled, "We're all here for the Crimson Yuan Ruins, why pretend you don't know?"

"If I am not mistaken, your Cangyun Sect probably also has ancient records of the Crimson Yuan Ruins."

"Since we're all here for this opportunity, why not exchange information? That way, we can be better prepared than others, right?"

"......"

Rong Tao and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Although they didn't know what He Qi was up to, the records of the Cangyun Sect regarding the Crimson Yuan Ruins were incomplete.

They came here specifically for the ruins of the Crimson Yuan.

The more information you have, the better you'll be able to grasp the concepts.

Lin Xi sat in a corner cubicle on the third floor.

Observe secretly through the gaps in the screen.

"They really did come for the Crimson Yuan Ruins..." Lin Xi transmitted to Chu Yang.

The sudden appearance of two major forces in this remote place, combined with the news about the Crimson Yuan Ruins, suggests that they are most likely after the latter.

"Your opportunity has been spotted. Don't you have anything to say?"

Chu Yang sat opposite him, slowly sipping his tea, looking completely indifferent.

"......"

This guy won't tell her anything.

......

A hint of amusement flashed in Rong Tao's eyes.

"That's true, but is your Yin Kui Sect willing to release such important information?"

He Qi narrowed his eyes, a half-smile playing on his lips: "Why are you so unwilling?"

"Is it merely a mutually beneficial arrangement, or are you suggesting that your Cangyun Sect is willing to leak false information and become an enemy of my Yin Kui Sect?"

As he spoke, a black aura rippled around him, making people feel uneasy, like a venomous snake.

Rong Tao remained silent.

Afterwards, Lin Xi learned through a brief exchange between the two teams that...

The two ancient texts record that the ruins of Chiyuan were located in a desert.

The Chiyuan Ruins were the site of two tests set up by the Chiyuan Elder before his death.

The first stage: Crimson Sea of ​​Fire.

The Crimson Origin Elder cultivated the power of Crimson Origin for a thousand years. Before his death, the flames generated by the power of Crimson Origin spread to the perimeter of the ruins, forming a boundless sea of ​​fire.

This Crimson Sea of ​​Fire is extremely yang and fierce; it is not easy to cross it.

If one's will is not firm, the sea of ​​fire will ignite the dantian (energy center) within one's body, burning it to ashes in an instant.

Even Lin Xi was surprised and horrified by this second one.

The second one... is the celestial Dharma image left behind when Elder Chiyuan broke through to the Saintly Realm.

Although Elder Chiyuan failed to break through to the path of sainthood, he still comprehended a trace of the Daoist essence of the laws of heaven and earth.

The laws of heaven and earth are the hallmarks of the sacred path.

Upon reaching the Saintly Realm, one can condense the vast power of heaven and earth into their body, forming a Dharma Image.

The power of the Dharma Form can shatter the heavens and split the earth, and is fundamentally different from that of a Celestial Venerable.

Besides.

There is also the imperial might of the Great Emperor realm.

The immortal power of the true fairyland.

These are all fundamentally different.

Unexpectedly, the second test in this desolate land actually contained a trace of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image of the Saintly Dao Realm.

If that's the case, even a King-level expert might not be able to pass the test.

However, things may not be so bad, since the power of the test may have been greatly diminished over time.

As for the opportunity deep within the ruins, neither the Cangyun Sect nor the Cangyun Sect made a clear statement.

"You want me to go into the ruins with you, there must be something you want me to do?"

Lin Xi looked at Chu Yang with curiosity.

"After entering the ruins, I will obtain the inheritance and refine it. At that time, I may need you to help me hold off other forces."

"What?!"

"You want me to hold off the other forces all by myself??"

Lin Xiteng immediately stood up.

"I'm only at the Core Formation stage right now. You expect me to hold off those King-level cultivators? Or the teams from various sects??"

Can she stop it?

Even if her cultivation technique is extraordinary, she shouldn't be able to skip levels like this!

Chu Yang glanced at her. "There aren't many people who can enter the ruins. You only need to stop a portion of them."

"Do you insist on refining the opportunity first, instead of seizing it back first?"

"Besides the remains of the Crimson Origin Elder, there are other things inside the ruins. We must deal with the trouble first if we want to retrieve them."

"You are, after all, a true disciple of the Xuanling Sect. If your actions do not meet my expectations, you will have to accept the punishment."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the Soul-Purifying Lock on Lin Xi's wrist.

Is it another electric shock?

Following the other person's gaze, she understood what Chu Yang meant.

Chu Yang is going to punish himself with the thunderous power of the Soul-Purifying Lock.

The thought of how the power of thunder had almost exhausted her made her legs tremble uncontrollably.

Chu Yang, you're not a real man!

While Lin Xi and Chu Yang were talking, the Cangyun Sect and Yin Kui Sect, after resting for a long time, also left the restaurant.
