Chapter 4711: Ancient Sect Ruin, Forcing Yun Zhaoxue's Hand

Jun Xiaoyao followed the faint bloodline resonance and the Restraining Immortal Token, tracing his way to this place.

His figure also came to a halt before this ancient cave.

In Jun Xiaoyao's palm.

That Restraining Immortal Token was now trembling slightly without cease, emitting wisps of ancient immortal radiance, as if it had sensed something.

Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flickered slightly.

Then his gaze likewise turned toward the blurred characters on that ancient cave.

"This is... the two characters 'Restraining Immortal'."

Jun Xiaoyao's brows lifted slightly.

Earlier, Huang Wuliang and Zhan Kun and the others, because that first character was blurred, had only recognized a single 'Immortal' character.

But Jun Xiaoyao understood at a single glance.

That one blurred character was precisely the character 'Restrain'.

"As expected, that mysterious fishing senior, the power behind him, has some connection to the Immortal Soil."

"So, because he knew some hidden secrets, he said the great opportunity in the depths of the Immortal Soil had not yet emerged."

"This place may well be connected to the power behind that mysterious fishing senior..."

"Besides, there is also the aura of the Yun clan people..."

Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

Hesitating no further, he stowed the token and stepped directly into the ancient cave.

Yun Zhaoxue, Meng Shuyao, as well as Huang Wuliang and the others.

After they entered that bronze great door.

Everyone only felt a bout of heaven-spinning earth-turning before their eyes, the surrounding space twisting violently, as if they had crossed an endless void long river.

When their vision recovered once more.

The scene before them, however, made everyone tremble slightly.

The place they were in was shockingly an extremely vast ancient ruin.

The sky dome was dim, without sun or moon.

Only countless densely packed stars, scattered across the sky dome like a galaxy.

The earth was cracked, gullies crisscrossing.

One collapsed palace ruin after another lay strewn between heaven and earth, broken divine pillars slanting into the ground.

The damaged ancient halls retained only half their outlines, still faintly revealing their former grand and magnificent appearance.

The air was permeated with an indescribably ancient aura.

"Just where is this..."

Huang Wuliang and the others who had entered this place all had somewhat dazed expressions.

It was very obvious this place should be a corner ruin of some ancient sect power.

The reason it was a corner.

Was because they sensed it.

The laws of this heaven and earth were extremely shattered.

The entire boundless earth was also cracked, like pieces of fragments.

A bit like a complete heaven and earth, after shattering.

Had a portion forcibly relocated to this place.

Becoming this shattered heaven and earth with incomplete laws before their eyes.

"This should be the ruin of some ancient sect power..." Yin Jiuli also murmured.

Yun Zhaoxue's beautiful eyes also revealed a trace of appraisal.

And Meng Shuyao, her face likewise showed a trace of surprise.

But if one looked into her eyes, one could faintly see a flashing glint of brilliance.

Clearly, regarding this place, she seemed not entirely ignorant.

After briefly surveying the surroundings.

Everyone also began to advance deeper into this ancient ruin.

Across the earth, some collapsed ancient palaces were scattered everywhere.

Some heaven's chosen swept with their divine sense and discovered no opportunities.

"Originally there should have been an immortal medicine here, what a pity..."

A heaven's chosen looked toward a spring eye that had long since dried up.

Within were some sparkling milky-white crystal stones.

Obviously this place was once a spirit pool where the essence of heaven and earth flowed, growing immortal medicine, but now it was ruined.

"Just what sect's remnant ruin is this place?"

A heaven's chosen revealed a puzzled expression.

By rights, these dust-sealed heaven's chosen all had high horizons.

Some ancient sects that had perished in the past, they should all have some understanding of them.

Moreover this ruin was within the Immortal Soil.

Which further proved this power's foundation was extraordinary.

Yet they could not make heads or tails of it at all.

"Hmph, whatever sect he's from, as long as we can find a great opportunity." Jin Liekong let out a cold harrumph.

And after a period of time had passed.

Before everyone's gazes.

A vast, boundless ancient palace complex loomed into view, standing silently at the ends of heaven and earth.

The entire Heavenly Palace was cast from some unknown divine material; although it seemed to have suffered the erosion of countless ages.

It still stood unfallen.

Looking out, palaces rose tier upon tier, halls stretched in endless succession, towers and pavilions like a forest.

Some palaces towered over a thousand zhang, piercing straight into the gloomy star dome.

Seeing this scene, everyone drew a deep breath.

Although they all came from extraordinary backgrounds.

But this endless architectural complex before them, its grand and majestic momentum.

Even after the passage of distant ages, still made one dare not slight it.

"This is the place..."

Some of the proud sons of heaven present revealed excited expressions.

It was very obvious; the opportunity should be right here.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Everyone began to enter this palace complex.

After stepping into the main hall of the central palace gate.

Everyone's gazes looked inside.

The hall interior likewise seemed structured by spatial laws, appearing incomparably vast.

Dust lay everywhere, permeated with the breath of time.

And on both sides within the hall.

Stood numerous statues.

Those statues were of varied forms.

There were human cultivators, and ancient strange beasts with twin wings on their backs, eyes glaring wide.

There were also towering figures with dragon heads and human bodies, standing with halberds in hand.

And there were bizarre beings with three heads and six arms, their whole bodies entwined with chains.

These statues were pitch-black all over, covered in cracks from the erosion of time.

And just as everyone was sizing up their surroundings.

Meng Shuyao suddenly halted her steps.

Her gaze turned toward Yun Zhaoxue.

On that gentle, peerlessly beautiful face, a faint smile still lingered.

Only in the depths of her eyes, there was not a trace of warmth.

"Yun Zhaoxue, since you've already arrived here."

"That thing, you should hand it over as well."

As these words fell, the surrounding atmosphere froze instantly.

Everyone's gazes, all at once, fell upon Yun Zhaoxue's fair wrists.

An ancient, unadorned, warm Bai Yu jade bracelet was emitting a faint, hazy divine radiance.

Yun Zhaoxue's expression remained calm.

As if she was not the least bit surprised by Meng Shuyao's coercion.

She lightly stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist, and said indifferently.

"Finally couldn't hold back anymore, hmm?"

Meng Shuyao gave a light laugh.

"Yun Zhaoxue, you're not stupid either."

"This object has great karmic ties with this relic site."

"Left in your hands, would we feel at ease?"

Meng Shuyao's words also made the gathered proud sons of heaven nod secretly.

Indeed.

With the opportunity object in Yun Zhaoxue's hands, they indeed would not be at ease.

Yun Zhaoxue suddenly gave a light laugh.

That smile carried a few parts mockery.

"There is only one jade bracelet."

"But here, there are this many people."

Her gaze slowly swept across Huang Wuliang, Jin Liekong, Yin Jiuli and the others.

On her clear, cold countenance there even surfaced a faint trace of playful interest.

"You tell me."

"Who should this jade bracelet belong to?"

A single sentence.

Made everyone's expressions change slightly.

Especially Huang Wuliang and those few top-tier proud sons of heaven.

Deep in their eyes, brilliant light flickered.

They naturally understood.

This jade bracelet has a great karmic connection with this place; it must be hiding an even greater secret.

If they could claim it for themselves...

Would that mean they could obtain the true opportunity of this place?

Thinking of this.

Many people's thoughts were secretly turning.

Meng Shuyao's gaze condensed slightly.

Then she smiled faintly.

"Yun Zhaoxue, even now, you still want to sow discord?"

"Who knows if you have other trump cards up your sleeve."

"When the time comes, it won't be difficult for you to scheme against any of us."

"I think we should take the jade bracelet first, then discuss the rest."

Meng Shuyao's words undoubtedly made many people calm down again.

Indeed.

Yun Zhaoxue is the Yun Clan's First Holy Maiden.

Who dares guarantee she has no other trump cards?

Although Meng Shuyao and the others don't fully trust each other either.

But they have already offended Yun Zhaoxue; there is no turning back.

Since that's the case, they might as well go all the way.

Even if Yun Zhaoxue truly perishes, Meng Shuyao would be the chief culprit.

The Yun Clan would mainly target her.

"Fairy Meng's words are absolutely correct; Fairy Yun should hand over the jade bracelet first!"

The gathered proud sons of heaven began to pressure Yun Zhaoxue!
