Chapter 597: Acting together against the beasts
The number of people kept increasing as more and more people were coming to the core area. At this time, Mu Renshu noticed the people of the Cao Clan.
"Look over there, that old man in the white robe is the ancestor of the Cao clan. The grand elder of the Cao Clan also came here, but I don't know the remaining three sovereign profound realm cultivators." Mu Renshu pointed toward the group of people and whispered slowly.
Elder Hua's eyebrows creased slightly, and spoke slowly, "They are the same people who made a mess in the auction house previously."
Feng Yun's eyes narrowed as he glanced at them. After that, Feng Yun casually looked at the various groups of people who came here. He was surprised by the number of Sovereign Profound Realm cultivators who gathered here, reaching almost a hundred.
"Hmm!" Feng Yun was surprised when he noticed a familiar face in the crowd. It was one of the elders of the Mystic Heaven Peak. Feng Yun didn't find the sect master or weapon hall master among the group of Mystic Heaven Peak.
...
"Everyone, the ancient ruin is right in front of us. I didn't lie to you guys." The man who sold the treasures in the auction was among the group, he pointed toward the ruins and said. He was standing with the people of the Phoenix Treasure Pavilion.
"I am sorry fellow doist for doubting you." The sovereign profound realm cultivator of the Phoenix Treasure Pavilion said with a guilty look.
"According to the information we have gathered so far, this ruin belonged to the ancient clan, the Ice Phoenix Clan. The Ice Phoenix Clan was one of the strongest forces in the world during the ancient era. It is really hard to believe that such a powerful clan is reduced to this state after the great war." One person said with a sigh.
"The Ancient era was a truly glorious era." Another man muttered softly.
"That biggest palace must be the main palace of the clan master. While those smaller palaces should be clan elder's palaces. Other than them, there should be some other important building like a weapon hall, martial art hall, or alchemy hall."
"Yes, most of the treasures must be stored in these buildings."
"I hope the martial arts library hasn't been destroyed by the beasts, there should be many high-ranking techniques in there."
I don't think other than artifacts and martial skills, we can get anything else. All the spiritual treasures must have been eaten by these beasts already."
The people started a discussion. They explored the entire outer region of the secret realm, and eventually gathered some information about the secret realm.
...
"Young Master, we should focus on finding the martial arts of this ancient clan. This clan must have gathered many high-grade martial skills. If we find those skills and brought back to the clan, you will gain huge merit then the seat of clan leader will definitely be yours in the future." Su Dingxiang's subordinates whispered softly into his ear.
"Mmm, I know! But my main target is that ice palace." Su Dingxiang nodded lightly. His eyes were flickering with excitement and enthusiasm when he looked at the great ice palace.
"Young master's eyesight is really good. That should be the main palace, most valuable things must have stored in that palace." Another subordinate spoke out.
"Let's wait for others to move, we can't win against so many beasts. This time we have to work with others."
...
"Fellow Daoist what about your friends." One of the people asked curiously to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man revealed a sad expression and said, "I have tried to contact them, but they aren't answering my voice transmission."
"My friends are trapped within the main palace. The main palace is guarded by the formation, beasts can't enter it." The middle-aged man said as he pointed toward the ice palace that was located furthest into the ruin.
"Hmm, how did you get there?" The old man of Phoenix Treasure Pavilion asked doubtfully. One has to pass through the sea of the beast to reach the ice castle, even he was not confident of doing that with his strong cultivation. While this middle-aged man was just a Heaven Profound Realm cultivator. His story didn't add up.
"Well, I don't know why there are many beasts gathered here but there were fewer beasts when I came in here before. And we used special talismans to hide our auras." The middle-aged man didn't lose his acting and continued making the lie.
"We naturally can't get any treasures from here with so many beasts guarding the ruins. We have to join hands and eliminate the beasts before." One of the sovereign profound realm cultivators put a suggestion.
"Fellow Daoist is right. We should join our hands and act together." Another person also said.
A few moments later, all of them decided to act together against the beast. After making up their minds, all of them moved forward in unison. The strong sovereign realm experts were on the front line while the weakest Heaven Rank experts were in the back line.
The people of the Ice Phoenix Clan looked at the thousands of cultivators fighting against the beasts with an excited expressions.
The leader said, "Be careful everyone, the beasts are not the only dangerous thing today. So make sure not to reveal any flaw."
The others understood her words and nodded. There are many strong cultivators gathered here if they found out that they were scammed, they would rebel against the Ice Phoenix Clan. Although the Ice Phoenix Clan was strong, they couldn't possibly defend against the hundreds of experts.
"Leader, how are we going to enter the main palace?" One of the elders asked curiously.
"I don't think they will leave without getting the treasures inside the main palace. These people will try everything in order to enter the palace." Another elder spoke out.
"Actually entering the palace is easy, I am more worried about getting out." The leader said with a frown. The main palace's protection formation still running, the ancient formation is protecting the entire palace that why it was able to remain unscathed through thousands of years. No outsider can enter the palace unless they have a bloodline of the ice phoenix clan.
So naturally, none of these people could enter the palace except the people of the Ice Phoenix Clan who were the direct descendant of the ancient Ice Phoenix Clan.
"Matriarch is right! Once we enter the palace, our cover will be blown. These cultivators will most like surround the palace and wait for us to come out. At that time, we will be surrounded by hundreds of cultivators." An old elder said with a troubled look.
The leader of the Ice Phoenix Clan looked at the young girl and asked hopefully, "Saintess, does ancestor have a solution?"
The cold-faced beauty nodded softly and said, "Don't worry, we will be fine."
Hearing her words, their expression filled with hope and confidence.
The People of the Ice Phoenix Clan also rushed forward to fight. At this time, whoever holds back will be blacklisted by the crowd.
Feng Yun's group also moved into the ruins. At this time, Feng Yun and Mu Wenquan left behind while Mu Renshu and Elder Hua went ahead with other sovereign realm experts.
