Nie Jinghong pondered for a mont and finally glanced at the dicine garden shielded by the array before decisively turning around.
"Let’s go! et up with the captain first!"
The quasi-immortal artifact is a matter of great importance; even if soone swears a great heart demon oath in front of them, the other party might still worry that the oath-taker could have their soul searched and spirit captured.
Especially when facing the Cangming Dynasty from Central State, which has desired the Moon Worship Dynasty for ten thousand years; even the slightest clue could lead to the extermination of the clan.
"Master Huang, I just suddenly realized the opponent is a disciple of Guzhu City and has long partnered with An Ruoxi for treasure hunting, making it inconvenient to reveal my identity, so I couldn’t explain to you earlier. Please forgive !" Master Mu finally turned to look at Master Huangshi at this mont and sincerely apologized.
Li Jizhou considered the situation inside the dicine garden and believed sixty percent of what he said, but still retained so distrust in his heart, just slightly nodding.
"Master Huang, where is your puppet?" Nie Jinghong turned to Master Huangshi and asked.
"The puppet got stained with the blood of a Guzhu City disciple; I’m worried that those three might sense it, so I put it away." Master Huangshi said with so unease.
Nie Jinghong’s eyes slightly squinted as he glanced at the corpse of Master Golden Flood Dragon, feeling a deep apprehension towards Master Huangshi’s puppet.
"Rest assured, Master Huang, if it’s just this matter, I will personally speak with Nie Qingyuan, but... if it involves the quasi-immortal artifact, even Guzhu True Monarch would be powerless."
"Master Huang appreciates Master Nie’s goodwill!" Master Huangshi solemnly bowed.
"Let’s go, et with the captain first, as for how to handle potential crises, I’m also unsure."
After speaking, Nie Jinghong led the way, followed by the other three, heading towards another direction of the Imperial City ruins.
Three hours later, the group gradually gathered ten out of fourteen mbers, leaving Master Tongshan, Master Duobao, his partner Divine Maiden of Neon Dress, and Master He yet to be found.
"The four of them are probably already deep in the central palace complex!" During these three hours, Nie Jinghong led the group in searching around, not daring to venture deep into the central palace complex.
"Master Nie, what exactly happened? Why must we all gather together here?" The just-found yellow-faced female cultivator expressed slight dissatisfaction.
During her ti here, she had discovered quite a few precious materials.
She had independently acquired three Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts and one Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact, currently thrilled.
Moreover, the only crisis encountered after entering was the ancient people frozen in ice.
Though those ancient people were rather powerful, they quickly aged and decayed, eventually turning to dust.
Therefore, there’s no need to worry much.
By simply avoiding the possibly ice-encased ancient people’s ice sculptures, there are almost no worries.
She still harbors great expectations for the treasures here.
"Indeed, it’s uncertain how long the dynasty’s remains will last; we should quickly seek treasures instead." So others also expressed dissent.
Faced with the questioning, Nie Jinghong slightly frowned, eventually looking at Master Mu.
Master Mu recounted the previous incidents.
"..." Instantly, everyone was visibly shocked.
Since teleporting inside, they’ve been cautiously exploring the area, unaware that others had entered.
Moreover, most of them were unfamiliar with the Moon Worship Dynasty and hadn’t considered its ties to quasi-immortal artifacts.
"Divine Maiden Huaiyu..."
"Given the possibility, it’s best to leave quickly!"
"Leaving before she acquires them might avoid suspicion."
Facing the clan’s highest-talented disciple under Guzhu True Monarch, everyone beca increasingly anxious.
"Impossible! Master Nie revealed himself; they know we’ve been here, and the Moon Worship Dynasty’s secrets can be uncovered with intent. Even if she thinks we’re temporarily unaware, once we leave, clues may be found, leading her to suspect us.
Everyone, ask yourselves, if you were her, what would you do in such a situation?" Master Mu stood up imdiately.
Li Jizhou squinted his eyes, recalling the scar on his face.
It’s hard to say if he seeks revenge or genuinely concerns himself with everyone’s life and death.
Yet, under such circumstances, whether he’s scheming or not, his motives are clear.
After all, what he says is true!
Upon Master Mu’s words, everyone fell into silence again.
Before them, only one path seed viable — striking first!
"Let’s find the captain first!" Ultimately, they decided to look for Master Duobao.
After all, Master Duobao, who usually seems amiable, is the strongest in the group!
anwhile,
Inside the array of the dicine garden, An Ruoxi’s group of five beca more restless.
"What’s going on? Why are more guards appearing?" An Ruoxi’s disciple blocked an ice spike with a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact, looking sowhat distressed at An Ruoxi.
At the Golden Core Peak, with a Second Grade Spiritual Treasure, Cold Marrow Saber, An Ruoxi managed the ice guardians’ attacks with ease. Initially planning to delay three hours for only two ice guardians to naturally perish,
But now, the number of ice guardians inside the dicine garden is increasing.
"Junior Martial Uncle An, there are already eighteen ice guardians!" Master Shuimo seed hard-pressed, fleeing in panic.
"Quickly follow out, this place is not suitable to stay long, return in three hours!" An Ruoxi surveyed the imposing guardians and finally ordered reluctantly.
"Boom~" The Cold Marrow Saber unleashed a stunning strike, instantly icing several guardians ahead.
This ice encasent was entirely distinct from the previous.
"Crack!" In just three breaths, ice shards flew, and those frozen turned to countless fragnts as the ice crystals shattered.
