It is evident that despite the Thirteen Sects secretly exploring these ruins for many years, they remain exceptionally perilous.
After paying their respects to Jiang Wangchuan, the two silently retreated to the side.
"Shall we enter together?" Zhou asked nonchalantly.
Jiang Wangchuan shook his head: "This old man won't go. I've already notified the Sect Leader to assist the master inside."
Zhou nodded and then said to Lu Yaoyao: "Let's go!"
The two of them headed towards the entrance.
Lu Yaoyao's eyes were full of excitent, and she winked furtively at Zhou.
What? Did we just get by like this?
Isn't it a bit too smooth?
Where are the brains of these old monsters?
"Wait a mont!"
But in the next instant, Jiang Wangchuan suddenly spoke up, causing Zhou's heart to tighten, and his steps to pause slightly.
Did he discover sothing?
The entrance was within reach. If he revealed his Golden-winged Roc form now, he might have a sixty percent chance of forcing his way in...
But it was still too risky.
He slowly turned around to see Lu Yaoyao with a bitter expression on her face, silently mouthing sothing.
Jiang Wangchuan hurried forward, smiling broadly, and took out six top-grade spirit stones.
Six aning everything going smoothly!
"Master Su will expend a lot in breaking the array. This is a small token of our intentions. Once the matter is resolved, you are welco to stay at our sect for two days..."
Zhou's mouth twitched under the mask—scared to death!
Money offered to his door was not to be wasted!
He collected the spirit stones calmly: "No problem, I may impose on you then."
"Not at all, it would be an honor!" Jiang Wangchuan bowed repeatedly, his face crinkling into a chrysanthemum-like smile.
Lu Yaoyao also breathed a sigh of relief, secretly winking at Zhou.
Then Zhou led Lu Yaoyao to step into the light gate, their figures instantly disappearing.
Jiang Wangchuan let out a long breath, stretched his muscles and bones, and looked smugly towards where Xie Chixiao was, snorting coldly.
See that? That's what generosity looks like!
Pay in advance, and he's bound to make an effort, isn't he?
That restriction is bound to be first taken down by our Mixed Elent Sect!
...
In the instant they passed through the light gate, Zhou and Lu Yaoyao felt the world spin before their eyes.
When their vision cleared, an ancient and vast world unfolded before them.
The sky was a bizarre greenish-grey, with three blood-red suns hanging high, painting the entire world in a blood-like crimson.
In the distance, mountains hung upside down, rivers flowed backward, and the air was filled with waves of ancient and violent spiritual power.
The ground was riddled with bottomless cracks, spewing eerie blue ground fire constantly.
Lu Yaoyao widened her eyes, astonished at the scene before her.
At this mont, an old hen poked its head out from Zhou's bosom, blinking its bulging eyes as it curiously observed.
Zhou didn't speak but instead cautiously scanned their surroundings with his divine sense, feeling a slight chill in his heart.
He could clearly sense a powerful suppressive force perating the world, with his divine sense's detection range less than a tenth of what it was outside.
"I wonder how Second Senior Sister and the White Crane found this place?" Zhou murmured softly.
Just then, Lu Yaoyao gently tugged at Zhou, pointing to a spot not far away.
There, a few ters from them on the ground, lay several skeletons that had long since turned into dried bones, the clothing faintly recognizable as disciples of the Thirteen Sects.
But from which sect?
"Judging by the coloration of the bones, they were all Nascent Soul Realm," Zhou said solemnly, "This place must be too dangerous, which is why the Thirteen Sects switched to exploring with Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators."
He looked intently at Lu Yaoyao: "Rember, never stray more than three zhang from . Those injured Divinity Transformation disciples who ca out are a cautionary tale..."
Before he could finish, Zhou's expression changed suddenly as he grabbed Lu Yaoyao and retreated sharply!
Almost simultaneously, the ground suddenly bulged, and a massive claw covered in scale armor burst out!
The claw was the size of a grinding disc, with ghostly green light at its fingertips, barely grazing the hems of their clothes as it passed.
"Roar—"
A deafening roar sounded as a fierce beast resembling a pangolin but as large as a hill fully erged from the ground.
Its body was covered in scales that emitted toxic mists, and its blood-red eyes locked onto the two of them.
"A Divinity Transformation early-stage Venom Armor Beast!" Zhou's pupils constricted.
Encountering a Demon King-level fierce beast as soon as they entered?
No wonder those Nascent Soul disciples died so miserably.
Even worse, the surrounding ground continuously bulged, and another five Venom Armor Beasts erged!
They ford an encirclent, their eyes flashing with bloodthirsty ferocity.
"Interesting!" Zhou's eyes lit up instead.
These demon beasts, having cultivated to the Demon King level, should have been able to take human form and speak human words, retaining at most only a few beastly traits.
But at this mont, their eyes held only primal instincts, nothing like intelligence.
It felt similar to the Fla Fire Crocodiles in the third coffin of the Grotto Heaven Forbidden Area.
It's either their bloodline is ancient, or this world has been sealed too long.
"Senior Brother Zhou, let hold one off!"
Lu Yaoyao was a bit nervous but pulled out an Ice Longsword, its blade enveloped in cold air, imdiately manifesting.
Zhou's mouth curved slightly.
What's re five Divinity Transformation Realm Demon Kings to him but re chickens and dogs?
This was the perfect chance to refine the Blood Phoenix Tribulation Crystal.
After confirming with his divine sense that there was no one around, he handed the old hen to Lu Yaoyao: "I got this, no need for you to act yet!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou soared into the air.
Just as he was about to unfold his Blood Wing Illusion, the three blood suns in the sky suddenly erupted with brilliance!
"Boom!"
A blood-red pillar of light descended from the sky, and Zhou felt his whole body's spiritual power freeze, forcing him directly down from the air.
"A no-fly restriction?!" He was shocked, involuntarily looking at those three eerie blood suns.
