Chapter 281: Entering the Ruins!
As the dark and profound crack appeared in the sky, the eerie energy in this world finally ceased its rampage.
"Is this a spatial crack?"
"It seems that the ruins have not truly manifested."
Watching the dark crack in the distant sky, Xiao Yixian murmured to herself.
She had seen similar situations in ancient texts before. Some ruins didn't fully reveal themselves when they appeared, leaving only a dark crack. However, such occurrences were rare, and Xiao Yixian wasn't sure if this was indeed the entrance to the ruins. If she guessed wrong, she didn't have the strength to survive inside a spatial crack.
Just as Xiao Yixian hesitated, about a dozen figures were flying towards this direction from a dozen miles away from the small village.
The leader was an old man in a black robe, with white hair and a pair of green Dou Qi wings on his back.
Behind him were figures from the Ma Family, including Ma Dayuan, along with three black-robed individuals whose strength was at the high-level Dou Emperor realm.
"Senior Liu, fortunately, I received the information early and was able to arrive here first. Otherwise, with such a commotion, countless people would have come here." Ma Dayuan, following behind the black-robed old man, spoke with a flattering tone.
"Hmm!"
Hearing Ma Dayuan's words, the black-robed old man stroked his beard and nodded, "You've done well this time. I'll reward you generously after we come out of the ruins!"
With the black-robed old man's promise, Ma Dayuan's face revealed a smug smile, and then he provocatively glanced at the middle-aged man in green robe beside him.
Before long, the group approached the small village, and the dark crack appeared in front of them.
"Is it just a spatial crack?"
"No wonder the rampant spatial power only obliterated things within a few miles."
"If the ruins were fully revealed, I'm afraid the entire Fallen Forest would have been destroyed by the terrifying spatial power, and by then, all the strong people in the Northwest Continent would gather here!"
Seeing the spatial crack in the sky, the black-robed old man murmured softly.
"What does Senior Liu mean? Is this dark crack the entrance to the ruins?" Hearing the black-robed old man's murmurs, Ma Dayuan and the middle-aged man in green robe beside him were very curious and asked.
"Yes, this is a very rare situation. The ruins are inside that crack!" The black-robed old man said confidently.
"While not many people know about it now, you can follow me to explore the opportunities." The black-robed old man's face was excited as he gave a low shout and flew straight toward the dark crack, bypassing the village.
...
Someone is coming!
Sensing the anomaly in the sky, Xiao Yixian quickly hid in the nearby woods.
"It's Ma Dayuan and his group. How did they come here?"
After seeing the figures of several people clearly, Xiao Yixian muttered to herself.
"The old man flying in the front has a somewhat strong aura. Could he be a Dou Emperor powerhouse?" When she sensed the aura of the black-robed old man, Xiao Yixian quickly concealed her own aura.
...
Above the sky, the group led by the black-robed old man quickly arrived next to the dark crack.
However, the eight individuals remained outside without stepping in.
The black-robed old man's expression became somewhat complicated. Suddenly, taking advantage of the distraction of his companions Hou Yunfeng and Wang Jing, he burst out with Dou Qi and directly reached out to grab the two of them, throwing them into the dark crack.
"Ah!" With two screams, the two individuals' bodies instantly disappeared into the dark crack.
Seeing the black-robed old man's actions, the surrounding people dared not make a sound, fearing that they might be the next ones thrown in.
After waiting for several minutes, the determination appeared in the black-robed old man's eyes. Then, he turned to the remaining five people and said, "You five, follow me into the crack!"
Hearing the black-robed old man's words, the remaining five people hesitated.
Entering the crack might offer a chance of survival, but if they didn't, they might die at the hands of the old man immediately.
Understanding the situation very well, after a brief hesitation, they gritted their teeth and entered the dark crack one after another. The black-robed old man was the last one to step in.
Below, Xiao Yixian saw all the people entering the crack. She slowly walked out of the woods.
At this moment, she suddenly noticed the figures of the two middle-aged men hiding behind a rock and the villagers running over to witness the commotion.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Pang Wu and Chu Lian also noticed Xiao Yixian coming out of the woods.
"Senior, why don't you go in too?" Seeing Xiao Yixian's gaze on them, Pang Wu immediately greeted her respectfully.
Xiao Yixian approached the two men slowly and shook her head, saying, "Not in a hurry. I'll go in after they've gone in for a while."
"As for you two, are you still willing to enter the ruins now? If you want, I can take you up there. Consider it a reward for guiding me here."
"This?" Hearing Xiao Yixian's words, the two men were very conflicted.
They had also seen the eight splendid figures in the sky just now, which were at least eight Dou Wang powerhouses.
With their cultivation levels, if they entered, they would be nothing more than cannon fodder.
Seeing the hesitation of the two men, Xiao Yixian added, "If you don't plan to go in, take these pills and this crystal card and leave with the villagers behind you. Because, soon, more strong people will come, and if they act recklessly, the entire village may be destroyed."
After saying this, Xiao Yixian took out several vials and a crystal card worth two million gold coins. The vials contained some pills she had refined.
Seeing what Xiao Yixian brought out, Pang Wu knew that it was compensation for them. With their strength, even if they entered the ruins, they would be like cannon fodder.
"Thank you, Senior!"
After figuring it out, Pang Wu took the pills and the crystal card handed over by Xiao Yixian without any hesitation.
Then, he turned and walked towards the villagers.
In Xiao Yixian's sight, after Pang Wu approached the villagers and said a few words to the muscular man, all the villagers began to move in the direction away from this place.
When the villagers gradually disappeared from her sight, Xiao Yixian re-focused her gaze on the dark crack.
"Now that Ma Dayuan and the others have gone in, they should be far away by now."
Thinking this, a pair of purple Dou Qi wings suddenly emerged from Xiao Yixian's back, and her figure flew straight towards the dark crack.
