Chapter 682: The City of Ruins!
The sound of rushing wind came suddenly, and within moments, three figures appeared in the distance. Three men, each bearing a fierce presence and looking strong and well trained, appeared in front of Ling Feng’s group. Their vital energies pulsed like dragons, clearly marking them as formidable opponents.
"You all—huh?"
Initially, the three men noticed three figures up ahead who didn't seem especially powerful and thought to rob them. But upon recognizing Ling Feng's face, their expressions softened immediately.
Ling Feng's battle with the Eleventh Prince of the Tianyang Empire had earned him fame far and wide. He was well-known to almost every genius in the imperial capital of the Tianbai Empire.@@@@
"What do you want?" Ling Feng glanced back at them casually, his tone lazy.
"Uh..."
The three men felt a chill down their spines under Ling Feng's gaze, realizing how lucky they were not to have attacked.
"General Ling, I am Ding Peng, a direct disciple of the Canglan Sword Sect. My companions here are elite disciples from the sect as well, Jiang Jie and Lu Hong."
The man in the green robe in the middle introduced himself and his companions to Ling Feng.
"Oh," Ling Feng replied indifferently, barely concealing his disinterest.
"Hehe..." Ding Peng felt the awkwardness grow, especially as he had initially approached with high hopes. He forced a smile. "General Ling, since you're entering this ancient ruin as well, why not team up with us?"
"Ancient ruin?"
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow. "So, we're already in the ancient sect ruins?"
"Uh... General Ling, didn't you know?" Ding Peng was taken aback. He quickly realized that this city of ruins was indeed extremely elusive and was often hidden by fierce sandstorms. Even they hadn't known it was a ruin at first. Only after spotting ancient boundary markers and crumbling buildings did they realize they were in the city of the ancient sect's ruins.
Ling Feng exchanged a brief, wry look with Mu Qianxue. They had spent ages following the map, wandering all over, only to find that these men, of only moderate strength, had beaten them to it.
Sometimes, there's just no arguing with luck!
While others haven't found this place yet, if we can monopolize the treasure house, Fatty Huang will be the one who deserves the credit.
...
"East Gate..."
Ling Feng lifted his gaze, staring at the ruined gate before him. On the crumbling wall, only two of the characters for "Ancient Gate" remained, the third partially destroyed.
"A super-sect from ancient times, yet it fell to such ruin. These Devils from Beyond must be truly terrifying, and the ancient powerhouses strong enough to shatter space itself..."
Ling Feng narrowed his eyes, silently marveling at the thought.
"Now's not the time to be daydreaming." Tuoba Yan strode past him, entering the ruined city.
Ling Feng pursed his lips, moving forward to follow her.
Generally, there were three highly prized areas in an ancient sect.
First, the sect's treasure vault, where all of a sect's most valuable possessions were stored, undoubtedly.
Second, the sect's scripture depository, where high-level cultivation techniques and martial arts were kept, especially ancient techniques, which were rare and of high quality.
Third, the sect's medicinal herb garden, where various rare and miraculous herbs grew. Given how long these ruins had been abandoned, the garden might very well contain rare and ancient treasures.
For an alchemist like Ling Feng, the medicinal herb garden held the greatest value.
After all, the rarer the material, the better he could refine it into high-tier medicinal pills, instantly increasing its worth a hundredfold.
