Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

As time went by, the glow emanating from the ruins grew increasingly dazzling, attracting even more powerful forces to come.

A melodious celestial music drifted from afar.

This is an extremely powerful team, resembling an ancient beast flying at incredible speed.

The leading figures were all clad in black armor, riding tall and mighty beasts, with a large banner embroidered with the character 'Xiao' fluttering in the wind.

They are none other than the ancient Xiao family.

The Xiao family's strength was comparable to that of a holy dynasty, and their arrival caused everyone present to change color.

After the Xiao family's group arrived, they went straight to the location closest to the entrance of the ruins, and no one dared to utter a word.

They didn't even dare to whisper about it; at most, they would mutter a few complaints to themselves.

"The Xiao family is really arrogant. They arrived last but walked to the front."

"Hehe, at the last auction in Duanshan City, the Xiao family obtained the Sacred Gold and was besieged and intercepted by many powerful figures. Why weren't they arrogant then? Why didn't they settle accounts with those people one by one?"

"I heard that Xiao Zhuochen, the divine son of the Xiao family, made a bold statement that he would challenge the prodigies of those forces. I wonder if it's true or not."

Since this ruin is so close to Broken Mountain City, the City Lord's Mansion naturally wouldn't miss it and sent out powerful experts as well.

The city lord of Duanshan City has been missing for a thousand years, and only one of his five adopted sons is still frequently seen. This has greatly reduced the strength of Duanshan City, making it slightly weaker compared to the Xiao family.

Even so, they were still figures that other forces present looked up to.

Neither the Xiao family nor the Duanshan City Lord's Mansion paid any attention to Xu Muge and his group.

After all, they are one of the strongest forces in Cangzhou. In the hundreds of thousands of years of their heritage, they have seen many new forces like the Xu family that produce outstanding talents, but only a handful have truly grown into powerful ones.

Therefore, at most, they would show a little goodwill out of respect for the Lord of Shenque Prefecture, but they would not lower themselves to befriend the Xu family.

If the Xu family has a conflict of interest with them, they will not hesitate to take action against them.

Just like the previous Primordial Saint, he dared to attack the Xu family as long as the Lord of the Divine Palace was not present.

Xu Chen frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "The Xiao family and the people from Duanshan City have both come. Is there anyone else who will benefit from the emergence of this relic?"

Xu Luo replied, "Don't worry, this ruin was left by the Tianyan Sect. Its purpose is to find a successor so that the Tianyan Sect's legacy can continue. Therefore, there are many restrictions. People who are too strong cannot enter."

Xu Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Without these restrictions, even if all the other forces present were combined, they wouldn't be enough to defeat the Xiao family and the strongmen of the Duanshan City Lord's Mansion.

Even a single protector of Xiao Zhuochen, the divine son of the Xiao family, could have kept them all here.

They had just finished speaking.

"boom!!"

A beam of light, ten feet in diameter, shot into the sky, piercing the clouds, and a deafening roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Immediately afterward, a huge void rift appeared in front of them, and everyone felt the rich spiritual energy gushing out from it like a volcanic eruption.

"The ruins are open!"

The Xiao family's team took the lead, with Duanshan City close behind.

However, not all of them successfully entered the ruins; some were left behind.

Clearly, this is the limitation Xu Luo was referring to.

Soon everyone also discovered the problem: only cultivators below the Dharma Aspect Realm could enter the ruins.

This immediately relieved them, and they all rushed into the ruins.

"let's go."

Xu Luo and his four companions stood on the back of the Azure Thunder Roc and plunged into the ruins.

This ruin was once the Tianyan Sect's headquarters. It had been covered by many formations for a long time, but with the decay of time, even the most powerful formations would lose their effectiveness.

The Heavenly Evolution Sect once had many Supreme Elders at the True Saint Realm, so its overall strength was only slightly inferior to that of the royal family of the Eight Ancient Kingdoms.

Their sects were also extremely vast.

After flying for a while, Xu Luo suddenly told Qing Leipeng to stop. He turned around and said.

“You’ve been following us for so long, it’s time to come out.”

Xu Muge and his companions were astonished, because they had no idea that they were being followed.

It should be noted that Xu Muge was a level above Xu Luo, yet he didn't notice, which shows how profound Xu Luo's methods were.

Soon, a pale blue figure appeared in the five people's sight.

This was a beautiful female cultivator with long, flowing hair. Her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were as calm as a still lake, but her face held an expression that said, "Keep away."

"A demonic cultivator?!" Xu Muge exclaimed in surprise.

The woman in green bowed and said, "I have no ill intentions. I just learned that you are from the Xu family, so I would like to ask if you know someone named Xu Qiufeng?"

The five people looked at each other.

"What's your relationship with him?" Xu Luo asked in return.

The female cultivator in green had a complicated expression. "He is my childhood friend. I don't know if he is from the Xu family. I only know that his name is Xu Qiufeng."

Xu Luo replied, "There are too many people in the Xu family. We don't know if there is anyone named Xu Qiufeng."

"In that case, I'm sorry to have bothered you," the female cultivator in green said, a hint of disappointment flashing in her beautiful eyes. She didn't ask any further questions and simply turned and left.

Xu Ying asked in confusion, "This lady is so strange. If she wants to find someone, why doesn't she just go to the Xu family?"

"Perhaps because she is a demonic cultivator, she dares not go," Xu Chen deduced.

Xu Luo suddenly said, "I can sense that although she has demonic energy and has cultivated demonic techniques, she does not have the ferocity and sinister nature of demonic cultivators, which is why I did not attack her directly."

Because of that great battle in his previous life, Xu Luo had dealt with many demonic cultivators and had a deep understanding of them.

"Huh? There are such demonic cultivators?" Xu Muge asked in surprise.

Such demonic cultivators are indeed extremely rare.

Xu Luo said, "After we get back, we can check if there's anyone in our family named Xu Qiufeng. Right now, let's hurry up and find the Tianyan Sect's inheritance."

For a power like the Xiao family in Duanshan City, this inheritance is better if it exists, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't. The main purpose is to let young people gain experience.

This would be of great help to a power of the level of the royal family of the Eight Ancient Kingdoms and the four major families of Duanshan City.

For the Xu family now, that's extremely important, and they absolutely must go all out.

"Yes, yes! This is a big deal!" Xu Chen chimed in.

If other people were to enter such a large and unfamiliar ruin, they would be like headless flies.

But for them, it's much simpler.

All they needed to do was have Xu Ying lead the way, and then have Xu Chen use his Qi Observation Technique to observe and search along the way.

Therefore, the problem that Xu Luo and his group of five needed to solve was not how to find the location of the Tianyan Sect's inheritance.

The real question is how, after finding the lineage, one can successfully acquire it without others noticing and leave safely.
