"Damn it, I miscalculated!"

"Entering these ruins cost me a sixth-tier puppet!"

He Qi, who led more than a dozen Yin Kui Sect disciples into the depths of the altar, had an extremely gloomy expression.

A sixth-order puppet.

This was his biggest trump card at the moment, but it backfired because of it.

If it weren't for the unexpected event, I might not have been able to enter the core of this ruin.

"Fortunately, the energy of the Crimson Sea of ​​Fire and the Dharma Aspect Domain has inexplicably decreased this time, otherwise I might not have been able to get in here."

"This is truly divine intervention!"

Zhu Rong arrived with disciples of the Blazing Fire Sect.

"That's not necessarily the case. The unexpected incident outside is most likely due to changes happening inside, and it's even possible that someone else has already gotten there first. This might not be good news..."

Rong Tao also arrived with his Cangyun Sect disciples.

Not only that, there are also the people and horses of the Four Symbols Palace.

Although most of them suffered losses, fortunately, an unexpected event occurred at the assessment checkpoint, and they were able to enter successfully.

At the same time, they also lost a lot of their trump cards.

However, the number of people entering this time was relatively large.

After arriving at the altar, the people from all directions began to take stock.

In the center of the altar stands a red stone pillar and a skeleton.

A young man sat cross-legged in front of the stone pillar.

He held two extraordinary spirit pearls in his hands.

Beside the young man, a stunningly beautiful, voluptuous, and graceful white-haired woman held a spirit sword, watching them warily.

"This is... the Crimson Essence Spirit Pearl?!"

"Oh no! Did someone beat us to it?!"

Upon seeing the situation on the field, Rong Tao and the others' expressions changed.

Isn't this situation a case of someone seizing an opportunity and refining it?

As expected, the accident occurred because someone entered first and initiated the inheritance assessment.

They were surprised to find that the man and woman had entered the area before them.

Their qualifications are therefore questionable.

"Damn brat!"

"Put down the legacy you hold! Or die!!"

He Qi stared at Chu Yang with eyes as cold and sinister as a venomous snake.

His aura surged, and a humanoid puppet at the King-level realm flew out first.

Its figure transformed into a streak of black light, swooping down on Chu Yang, its cold, sharp claws reaching out to tear Chu Yang's head apart!

Bah!

Just as the claws were about to touch its head, a flash of blue sword light danced.

Lin Xi gripped the Ice Phoenix Sword and slashed at the puppet's claws.

A clang of fine metal rang out, accompanied by a shower of sparks, and the charging puppet was actually forced back dozens of meters by a single sword strike!

"What?!"

Not only He Qi, but also Rong Tao, Zhu Rong and other elders narrowed their eyes and looked at Lin Xi in disbelief.

They were all at the King Realm, and they sensed the woman's cultivation level in an instant.

But she was only at the mid-stage of the Core Formation Realm, yet she withstood a full-force attack from a King Realm puppet?!

They had all seen prodigies who fought against opponents of higher levels.

However, this was the first time they had ever faced someone who was a realm above them.

Even the most outstanding talents in their sect would find it difficult to accomplish this.

"Who exactly are you people?!"

"How dare they oppose us, the four great sects?!"

After quickly regaining his composure, He Qi glanced at Chu Yang and then looked at Lin Xi with a sinister gaze.

The others also looked at Lin Xi with inexplicable expressions.

His eyes held fear, curiosity, amazement, and jealousy...

Lin Xi took out a token marked with a moon symbol from his waist.

His expression was indifferent, and his words were flat.

"I am Lin Xi, the third disciple of Qiu Gulan, the peak master of Shuiyue Peak in the Xuanling Sect."

"Today, the two of us came here for training and happened to come across the Crimson Yuan Ruins."

"Esteemed seniors, the inheritance is meant to be received by those who are destined to receive it. Since the inheritance has already passed into his hands, it can be considered the law of fate. Please be magnanimous and leave now."

"The true teachings of the Xuanling Sect's Shuiyue Peak?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, even He Qi, who was itching to make a move.

The Xuanling Sect is one of the three major hegemonic forces in the entire Northern Spirit Domain. Compared to them, their sects are like ants trying to shake a tree, worlds apart.

Even their sect was under the jurisdiction of the Xuanling Sect.

I never expected that the woman in front of me would come from the Xuanling Sect.

No wonder his combat power is so incredible, and his appearance is astonishing.

"Wait! Lin Xi of Shuiyue Peak? The leader of the Five Beauties of the Xuanling Sect?!"

"So the rumors were true!"

"I've heard that the young master of the Chu family in Qingyang City is engaged to Lin Xi of Shuiyue Peak! I never imagined that the top of the five beauties of the Xuanling Sect would actually have a marriage contract with the Chu family!?"

"So the person standing in front of the stone pillar now is Chu Yang, the son of the Chu family patriarch?!"

The prodigies of sects such as the Cangyun Sect and the Four Symbols Palace were all shocked.

They guessed some things from a simple interaction.

They sized up Lin Xi.

His white hair cascaded down like a waterfall, a truly shocking sight.

Dressed in white, she possessed an ethereal beauty.

Holding a spirit sword, his swordsmanship is extraordinary.

Just as the rumors said.

This white-haired fairy from the Xuanling Sect is extremely famous not only in the Qingzhou Jinlan Realm, but throughout the entire Qingzhou.

After all, the love of beauty is something that all young talents possess.

Who wouldn't be drawn to those stunning beauties?

However, when they heard that Lin Xi had a fiancé, they all had unusual feelings.

In contrast to the astonishment of the disciples from various sects, the elders felt rather heavy-hearted at this moment.

If it really is Lin Xi from the Xuanling Sect, then this situation is rather bad.

If you want to pass on the legacy, you have to take action against Lin Xi.

However, they cannot afford to offend the Xuanling Sect.

But if they give up now, the inheritance will be successfully refined and absorbed by Chu Yang, and all their efforts will be in vain.

Such opportunities are not readily available.

"......"

Seeing Rong Tao and the others hesitate, He Qi sneered.

"He's just a true disciple of the Xuanling Sect? Are you all scared?"

"Are we really going to hand over the inheritance that's almost within our grasp?"

Rong Tao and the beautiful woman from the Four Symbols Palace frowned slightly.

Both warned simultaneously:

"He Qi, I'm warning you, don't touch this girl unless absolutely necessary. She's not just a simple disciple; she's the peak master's true disciple."

"That Qiu Gulan is a genuine Saint Realm expert, with incomparably formidable strength."

"Moreover, this girl has countless suitors, including many young masters from the Xuanling Sect."

"If anything happens to her, your Yin Kui Sect will definitely not survive either. Don't drag us down with you then."

They had considered killing him to silence him.

However, given the methods of the Xuanling Sect, they will definitely find out.

I will definitely settle accounts with them when the time comes.

If the entire clan is wiped out simply because of a place of inheritance, then it is a loss that outweighs the gains.

Upon seeing this, He Qi gave a disdainful smile.

"I knew you wouldn't have the guts."

"Since that's the case, then my Yin Kui Sect will hold her back, and you will go and stop Chu Yang from refining the opportunity."

Rong Tao and the other two exchanged glances and finally nodded.

"Let's do it!"

He Qi roared and commanded Yin Kui Sect to summon ten puppets to surround and attack Lin Xi.

Taking this opportunity, the other three teams swept across the battlefield to meet Chu Yang in the center of the altar.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xi's expression changed, and he transformed into a blur, disappearing in front of the puppets in a few moments.

"So fast!"

He Qi's expression hardened.

He controlled three puppets at the King Realm to transform into a black barrier, blocking his path.

"Floating Moon Shadow!"

Lin Xi was like a fleeting glimpse of illusory moonlight.

She appeared directly in front of Rong Tao and the others, passing right through the black barrier.
