Chapter 104: Found the ruins of the previous dynasty! Yang Han's figure?

"Elder Jiang, let's go help too!"

Zheng Feng looked at the stalemate in the distance, the Tianqing Sect disciples had clearly fallen into a disadvantage, scattered by the fierce hard-skill disciple, and a look of severity flashed across his brows.

Although he had always disliked the style of the two elders of Jin Chen Peak, in the face of an external enemy, they were ultimately the Tianqing Sect, connected by the same breath.

"Hmm."

Jiang Ye nodded slightly, turned to Chen Lili behind him and ordered: "Girl Chen, these outer sect disciples will be left to you to command. I will go ahead with True Disciple Zheng, you stabilize the formation, do not rush forward rashly."

"Yes, Elder Jiang!"

Chen Lili replied in a deep voice with a solemn expression, her eyes filled with both nervousness and eager excitement.

"Xiao Hui, you hide behind people later, don't enter the battle."

Zheng Feng whispered to his sister, his tone carrying unquestionable seriousness.

"Ah... then wouldn't my strength be unable to be displayed..."

Zheng Hui widened her dark, round eyes, just about to argue, but was swept by her brother's slightly stern gaze, and the words on her lips were swallowed back.

She pouted and muttered in a low voice: "Fine, I almost forgot I'm a non-combat type..."

Before the words fell, Jiang Ye and Zheng Feng had simultaneously circulated their true qi, pouring it into the meridians of their legs.

The two figures instantly turned into afterimages, rushing towards the fierce battle, their speed astonishingly fast, leaving only a faint trail of dust behind them.

"Not good, it's reinforcements from the Tianqing Sect!"

"Two more Embracing the Pill Realm martial artists have come!"

The two Hanjian Sect elders, one fat and one thin, who were entangled with the Jin Chen Peak elders, suddenly changed their expressions.

Both of them radiated sharp golden true qi, and they were evenly matched against the Jin Chen Peak people, neither could do anything to the other. But now that the other side had added two fresh forces, the situation was completely different.

The two looked at each other, a look of condensation flashing across their faces.

"Cold Heart Sword!!!"

With a roar, golden true qi surged out of their bodies, condensing into two golden longswords about a zhang long above their heads.

The sword bodies were solid as reality, cold light flowing on the sharp edges, and the surrounding air seemed to be frozen, emitting wisps of white mist.

The chill was biting, intertwined with the sharpness of the true qi, and there was an indescribable weirdness.

Immediately after, the two swung their swords violently.

The two golden longswords carried a piercing whistle, stabbing fiercely at the two Jin Chen Peak elders.

"Want to fight for your lives, huh!"

The thick-browed elder of Jin Chen Peak sneered, advancing instead of retreating.

"Reinforcements have arrived, drag them down!"

The other lean elder also roared, the two attacked simultaneously, golden true qi condensing into a heavy giant shield in front of them, golden patterns appearing on the shield, solid as a mountain.

They had already seen Zheng Feng and Jiang Ye rushing over, and their hearts were settled.

There was no need to fight for their lives with the Hanjian Sect people; as long as they dragged them for a moment, once reinforcements arrived, they would be firmly taken down.

Clang—!!!

The moment the golden longsword stabbed the golden shield, a deafening sound of metal clashing exploded in the mountains, making the nearby disciples' eardrums ache.

A violent torrent of energy erupted from the collision, stirring up broken stones and dead leaves, smoke and dust filling the air.

The two Hanjian Sect elders used this impact force to retreat violently, while shouting: "Hanjian Sect disciples, retreat first!"

Hearing this, the Hanjian Sect disciples immediately retreated in an orderly manner, their movements clean and neat, clearly well-trained.

Especially that burly disciple who practiced hard skills, looking muscular and seemingly not very smart.

But in reality, he was as cunning as a fox.

This kid had already been retreating while fighting when he saw the Tianqing Sect reinforcements, shouting fiercely but never stopping his feet.

At this moment, hearing the elders' order to retreat, he ran faster than anyone, "whoosh," and slipped behind the two elders.

"Want to escape now?"

"It's too late!"

The two Jin Chen Peak elders sneered and were about to chase, true qi already condensed in their palms.

"If you want to die, just come up!"

The two Hanjian Sect elders simultaneously took out a crystal-clear bead from their bosoms, about the size of a dragon's eye, snow-white all over, emitting wisps of chill.

Once the bead appeared, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop by several degrees, making people shiver uncontrollably.

"Cold Jade Bead?!"

The two Jin Chen Peak elders' expressions changed suddenly, their footsteps stopped abruptly, a look of heavy dread flashing in their eyes.

Just then.

Jiang Ye and Zheng Feng also arrived at the battlefield.

Zheng Feng scanned and saw the situation clearly.

He turned slightly and lowered his voice to explain to Jiang Ye:

"Elder Jiang, that is a specialty of the Hanjian Sect, the Cold Jade Bead."

"Once a bead is detonated, it has considerable power, equivalent to a strike of true qi condensed by an Embracing the Pill Realm powerhouse."

He paused, his expression becoming a bit more solemn:

"The most troublesome thing is that after this Cold Jade Bead is detonated, it will also emit a chilling coldness, even an Embracing the Pill Realm powerhouse will suffer a small loss if not careful."

"Even if we can resist, these outer sect disciples behind us will probably inevitably suffer some casualties."

Hearing this, Jiang Ye nodded slightly thoughtfully.

No wonder these two Jin Chen Peak elders were so cautious.

His gaze crossed the crowd and fell implicitly on the burly disciple.

That kid was shrinking behind the two elders, his eyeballs rolling around, observing the situation while panting, his face showing no fear at all.

He had seen clearly just now that this kid had slipped away without a word as soon as he sensed him and Zheng Feng approaching, running faster than anyone.

Such a sharp personality.

Hmm, this child must not be left alive.

Jiang Ye withdrew his gaze, looked at Zheng Feng beside him, and asked softly: "True Disciple Zheng, the Hanjian Sect can actually produce such a strange object as the Cold Jade Bead, wouldn't they be invincible?"

Zheng Feng shook his head slightly and said: "Elder Jiang, this Cold Jade Bead is extremely difficult to produce, much rarer than our Tianqing Sect's Tianqing Spirit Liquid, and there are even fewer that can be distributed, otherwise they wouldn't have hidden it until now and been reluctant to use it."

"So that's how it is."

Jiang Ye nodded slightly.

"You Tianqing Sect people, do you only know how to bully the few with the many!"

The two Hanjian Sect elders looked at the arriving Jiang Ye and Zheng Feng, a hint of dread flashing in their eyes, and shouted sharply.

Jiang Ye smiled without a word, just standing there quietly, his aged eyes calm as water, showing no ripples.

Zheng Feng sneered and retorted unceremoniously: "In a sect struggle, talking about bullying the few with the many is just laughable."

"Then do you want to cause a life-and-death battle between the Tianqing Sect and the Hanjian Sect!!!"

The Hanjian Sect's fat elder's voice became increasingly sharp, the veins on his forehead bulging, clearly anxious.

"Your Hanjian Sect invading our Tianqing Sect's territory is seeking death in the first place, killing you is reasonable and justifiable!"

The Jin Chen Peak elder responded unceremoniously.

"What do you mean by invasion?"

The lean Hanjian Sect elder said coldly: "This Tai'an Mountain is at the border of the two prefectures, the ownership has not been divided yet, how did it become your Tianqing Sect's territory? Your Tianqing Sect can come, but my Hanjian Sect cannot?"

Before the words fell, several more sounds of breaking wind rang out.

Elders from other peaks also arrived one after another, and several people surrounded the Hanjian Sect people with great tacit understanding.

Seeing this scene.

"The Tianqing Sect actually sent so many people..."

The two Hanjian Sect elders' expressions became extremely ugly.

The disciples behind them also began to feel terrified.

Everyone realized that under the siege of so many Embracing the Pill Realm martial artists.

Even with the deterrent of the Cold Jade Bead, they would have no possibility of survival.

However, everyone was not in a hurry to act.

They were waiting for Hua Qingshui to come over.

If they really caused a big conflict between the Tianqing Sect and the Hanjian Sect because they killed these Hanjian Sect people.

They really couldn't afford this responsibility.

Not long after, a figure drifted over like a light breeze, unhurriedly.

Hua Qingshui was still his smiling self, his graying hair fluttering slightly in the wind, his aura gentle and calm, as if he were just an old man coming to the mountains for an outing.

The Hanjian Sect people's hearts immediately hung in the air.

They knew that the key person who could decide their life and death had arrived.

The fat Hanjian Sect elder clearly had seen the veteran Hua Qingshui before, and immediately braced himself with a stiff smile:

"Elder Hua, we heard that there are traces of the Qisha Sect's demons active near Tai'an Mountain..."

"Eradicating the demonic sect is everyone's responsibility... that's why we brought people here..."

"But we didn't expect that as soon as we arrived at Tai'an Mountain, your sect's people surrounded us, this wouldn't sound very good if it got out..."

Hua Qingshui smiled faintly upon hearing this, no joy or anger visible in that smile: "Oh? Is that how it is?"

He looked into the distance as if he had sensed something, and added with a smile: "You have quite a few people here too."

A moment later, six more Embracing the Pill Realm martial artists dressed in Hanjian Sect robes rushed over from the distance, their true qi surging, their momentum fierce.

Behind them, there was a large group of Hanjian Sect disciples in tight-fitting clothes, a black mass, judging by the momentum, at least a thousand people.

"They finally arrived."

The two Hanjian Sect elders breathed a long sigh of relief, their tense shoulders finally relaxing.

The disciples behind them were also relieved, some even secretly wiping their sweat.

Except for Jiang Ye, the expressions of the several Tianqing Sect elders changed slightly.

The Hanjian Sect had secretly sent so many Embracing the Pill Realm martial artists, plus the Cold Jade Beads in their hands, they no longer held an absolute advantage.

The six arriving Embracing the Pill Realm martial artists quickly joined the previous two, confronting the Tianqing Sect people.

The scene was tense.

Hua Qingshui was still his smiling self, as if he were completely unaware of the tense situation before him.

He glanced at the few people beside him and asked in a low voice, "Have you found any clues these past few days?"

"No."

Jiang Ye and the others all shook their heads slightly.

"Then let it be..."

Hua Qingshui looked at the Hanjian Sect crowd with a smile, his voice neither high nor low, but clearly transmitted into everyone's ears:

"Since you are also here to kill the demonic sect demons, then this old man will believe you."

"Let's search together, more people means more strength."

Once these words were spoken, the Hanjian Sect crowd looked strange, looking at each other, not knowing how to respond for a while.

The Tianqing Sect's Embracing the Pill Realm martial artists were puzzled, even the usually steady Xie Tang was a bit anxious, lowering his voice: "Elder Hua, why should we..."

Hua Qingshui smiled faintly, waved his hand confidently, interrupting his words.

"Don't worry, if we can really find any secret treasure, this old man will definitely not let these Hanjian Sect people get their hands on it."

His voice echoed gently in everyone's ears like a breeze, unhurried, but revealing a certainty that made people inexplicably at ease.

"Now, the most important thing is..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

"Find the ruins of the previous dynasty first!"

Hearing this, everyone was slightly startled, and then there was no more objection.

Although Xie Tang was still a bit puzzled, he didn't ask further, just nodded silently.

"Where does this old man get such confidence..."

Jiang Ye looked at Hua Qingshui with a hidden gaze, a strange look flashing in his aged eyes.

Subsequently, the several Embracing the Pill Realm martial artists of the Hanjian Sect gathered together to discuss in low voices for a long time, frowning from time to time, shaking their heads, and finally seemed to reach some consensus.

That fat elder stood out, bowed to Hua Qingshui, his voice carrying a bit of reluctance:

"Then let's follow Elder Hua's words, let our two sects search for the Qisha Sect demons together!"

The tense atmosphere slowly dissipated, like a receding tide.

The two sects began to shelve their disputes and search together.

However, in order to avoid the other side finding the ruins of the previous dynasty before them, both sides secretly sent many people to watch the other side's movements, cooperating openly but competing secretly.

Time passed quickly for three days.

At noon on this day, the scorching sun was in the sky, Jiang Ye sat on the top of a towering tree, his eyes slightly closed, his breathing long, nourishing his fire qi.

Under the tree, Chen Lili led the outer sect disciples to shuttle and search in the forest, footsteps, whispers, and the rustling of turning branches intertwined into a piece.

Suddenly—

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

High in the sky in the distance, three dazzling fireworks shot into the sky one after another, exploding in the deep blue sky, leaving three striking red smoke trails that lingered for a long time.

Jiang Ye opened his eyes suddenly, a hidden shock flashing in his aged eyes, then turning into irrepressible ecstasy.

Three signals—this was the signal they had agreed upon after finding the ruins of the previous dynasty!

Without the slightest delay, he jumped off the canopy and shouted to the people below: "Go! Found the ruins!"

Chen Lili and the disciples were stunned at first, then erupted into earth-shaking cheers, a group of people following Jiang Ye, rushing towards the direction where the signal came from.

When they arrived, many people had already gathered here.

The elders of Earth Peak and Green Wood Peak had already arrived with their disciples, and the Hanjian Sect also came with a large group of people, crowding the mountainside, the scene quite chaotic.

Jiang Ye listened carefully, piecing together the process of the matter from the noisy discussions.

It was the Hanjian Sect people who first discovered the ruins of the previous dynasty.

They were searching on the mountainside, and a disciple inadvertently pushed aside a patch of vines, revealing the stone door behind.

They hadn't had time to be happy before they were caught red-handed by the Green Wood Peak elder who was observing in secret.

Thus, three signals shot into the sky, summoning everyone over.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on the stone door hidden on the mountainside.

The stone door was about a zhang high, carved from a whole piece of bluestone, the surface covered with traces of time, moss mottled, and undried dew remaining in the stone cracks.

The door was carved with patterns of various rare beasts, including a phoenix about to fly, a five-clawed golden dragon crouching on the mountain peak, a qilin walking on the clouds, and a crane holding a lingzhi in its mouth.

The carving was fine and lifelike, every line smooth and powerful, as if those divine beasts would jump out of the stone door at any time.

On the edge of the stone door, a circle of complex cloud patterns was carved, layered and layered, like surging waves, which was the unique decorative style of the previous dynasty, ancient and mysterious.

Undoubtedly, it was the entrance to the ruins of the previous dynasty.

"Secret treasure, what will it be."

Jiang Ye looked at the ancient and mysterious stone door, his eyes slightly narrowed.

A purple figure suddenly flashed through his mind.

Speaking of which, since arriving at Tai'an Mountain, he had never seen this eldest miss of the Yang family, or anyone else from the Yang family.

"She wouldn't be hiding nearby, would she?"

Jiang Ye scanned the surroundings casually. ===== CHAPTER 105 =====
