Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality
Chapter 156 The Glowing City
The two figures, one in green and one in gray, were naturally Jiang Yuchuan and Yan Guang.
However, Jiang Yuchuan jumped into the quicksand on his own initiative, while Yan Guang was dragged down by Jiang Yuchuan.
With the two of them taking the lead, and Qu Ziming explaining loudly from the side, some of the bolder rogue cultivators gritted their teeth and began to plunge into the center of the quicksand.
The bold ones will be starved to death, and the timid ones will be starved to death.
They've already come this far, there's no reason for them to give up at this crucial moment!
After dozens of people started jumping, the remaining people stopped resisting and let the quicksand carry them in.
Of course, not everyone can overcome their fear and willingly let the quicksand carry them underground.
However, for some unknown reason, these people were unable to break free from the quicksand beneath their feet while trying to escape. After struggling for a while, they were still being sucked into the ground along with the others, screaming and screaming.
Soon, not a single person could be seen on the sand.
After everyone disappeared into the ground, the swirling yellow sand quickly stopped flowing.
……
The group, who had sunk into the quicksand, fell into the dark ground for about fifteen minutes before finally landing in an open area.
Everyone was awestruck by the sight before them in the underground.
They could never have imagined that such a vast underground world existed hidden deep beneath the desert.
Looking out, this hidden underground world seemed to have no end, and the ruins of the ancient Northern Rong Kingdom, which they had been longing for and dreaming about, sat perfectly intact right in front of them.
These ancient kingdoms, buried underground for thousands of years, not only show signs of the erosion of time, but for some reason, the walls and roofs of all the buildings still emit a faint blue light.
It was because of these converging blue lights that people were able to vaguely see this underground world.
"Could these glowing stones be the legendary sedimentary stones?"
A rogue cultivator guessed excitedly. His gaze towards the ancient kingdom revealed undisguised greed and covetousness.
"Probably not."
A knowledgeable rogue cultivator offered his opinion: "These glowing stones should be a very rare mineral from the black iron ore mine—the luminous stone."
"A luminous stone?"
A burly man frowned and said, "The luminous stone is just a pretty stone with a bright and clear color. I don't remember it shining like this."
"Perhaps it's because the flowing light stones from thousands of years ago are different from those circulating outside now? Besides, we've already encountered so many bizarre and dangerous things along the way. Seeing these stones again now doesn't seem so strange."
That's what they say, but no one can remain calm and composed when facing this ancient country that has been buried for thousands of years.
However, at this moment, these rogue cultivators did not rush towards the ancient kingdom that was shimmering with eerie light. Instead, they were all waiting for the two grandmasters who had killed the death worm to make their move.
No one can be sure if there are other, even more powerful things hidden underground, so the safest course of action right now is to follow behind those two grandmaster-level experts.
Ke Lianba and Shi Sheng were naturally aware of these people's ulterior motives, but with the ruins of the Northern Rong Kingdom right in front of them, these insignificant rogue cultivators didn't care at all. After all the teams from the major forces had assembled, the two of them walked forward together.
Among the crowd who were silently following, only Chengsong from Baiyun Temple secretly looked around and searched.
Walking beside Cheng Song, Hua Sheng noticed his furtive behavior, as if he were searching for something, and asked in a low voice:
"Did you lose something? You look around so suspiciously."
Cheng Song shook his head and whispered to Hua Sheng, "Senior brother, have you noticed that the two people who jumped into the quicksand at the beginning don't seem to be in the group now?"
Upon Cheng Song's reminder, Hua Sheng immediately recalled the two figures, one in green and one in gray, and couldn't help but look at the group of rogue cultivators following behind.
"Right? Those two really aren't in the group right now!"
After seeing Hua Sheng's actions, Cheng Song emphasized it again.
"Why are you so concerned about those two?" After searching unsuccessfully, Hua Sheng withdrew his gaze. "Do you know those two?"
Cheng Song shook his head again, leaned slightly towards Hua Sheng, covered his mouth with his hand, and said with a serious expression, "I don't know those two people. The reason I'm so concerned about them is that I think they might have fallen into this underground before us and been eaten by the monsters hiding inside!"
Hua Sheng smiled helplessly, knowing that this was just another of Cheng Song's wild imaginations, so he gave a perfunctory reply and then fell silent.
Just then, the group finally arrived at the towering city gate of the Northern Rong Ancient Kingdom.
Looking up at the open city gate, everyone could clearly see a large, square stone slab embedded in the city wall, with the four characters "Bei Rong Capital" neatly engraved on it.
Thus, the place that now appears before them, radiating a faint glow and perfectly intact, is the imperial capital of the Northern Rong Kingdom thousands of years ago.
The capital city is wonderful!
The capital city is inhabited by wealthy merchants, high-ranking officials, and nobles. More importantly, the royal palace of the Northern Rong Kingdom is located in this capital city, and the treasures inside are many times greater than elsewhere.
Everyone's hearts ignited with excitement, eager to dive in and begin their treasure hunt.
Ke Lianba and Fu Sheng paused for a moment in front of the city gate, seemingly sensing something. However, after exchanging a glance, they quickly started walking together into the city.
The surroundings were completely silent; apart from the footsteps and breathing of the crowd, almost no other sounds could be heard.
Walking on the quiet streets enveloped in a deep blue hue, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
They always felt that some kind of monster was hiding behind those walls that shimmered with eerie light, watching and observing their every move.
But this feeling of apprehension and wild thoughts quickly dissipated when a wandering monk saw a gold ingot weighing several ounces at the base of a house on the street.
The appearance of this gold ingot acted like a fuse, instantly igniting the greedy desires in everyone's hearts. The scattered groups of independent cultivators who had been following the major forces scattered and began to plunder the streets and alleys.
Many leaders of major powers expressed their dislike and disgust at the actions of these independent cultivators, but no one spoke up to stop them.
The entire city is currently shrouded in an eerie atmosphere. It would be good to let these greedy rogue cultivators explore the area. If there is any danger, they can respond and take precautions in time.
