Rebirth of Devouring Dragon Emperor

Chapter 218 Bell!
"Hey? Good stuff?"

Tang Zhen behind him saw Ye Qing quicken his pace, and was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed, asking as he walked: "Are you saying there are good things ahead? Then why can't I feel anything at all?"

She looked a little distressed: "I could sense the spear you looked down upon just now, but now I can't sense anything about the thing you think is great. Is it because my magic is not working?"

Ye Qing did not answer her question directly, but asked: "How many treasures do you think there are in this world?"

"what?"

Tang Zhen didn't expect Ye Qing to ask such a question. She frowned and thought for a while, then answered, "Probably... probably a lot, right?"

“Not a lot, but a lot.”

Ye Qing said: "There are so many people practicing in the world, and everyone has some good things on them. Some families and sects have even more treasures. Do you think you can find out the location of those treasures?"

Chu Xian shook his head.

"So, this kind of magic is not omnipotent. If you want to be able to sense good things, you need fate."

Ye Qing explained.

"Is that so?"

Tang Zhen frowned.

She always felt that there was something wrong with Ye Qing's words.

"of course."

Ye Qing said casually: "If you can sense all the good things, then wouldn't you be invincible? How many good things are buried underground? If you looted them all, wouldn't it be easy for you to roam the world?"

"How can there be such a good thing in the world!"

Ye Qing smiled and said, "Ask your master. Your Tianji Sect has had this technique since ancient times, but how many good things can the disciples find with it? Ask him, how many treasures has he found after so many years of cultivation?"

Hearing this, Tang Zhen turned and looked at Wentian.

"Oh, really, what the senior said is right. Our Tianji Sect's secret technique cannot detect everything. It all depends on fate."

Wentian said somewhat awkwardly: "Throughout the ages, many of our Tianji Sect's disciples have practiced this secret art, and many have mastered it. But whether or not you can detect good things depends on luck."

"I, your master, have practiced for decades, but I have only found a few things with it. It is not that good, so don't have too high expectations on it."

Tang Zhen looked disappointed when he heard this.

"Then Master, when you persuaded me to join Tianji Sect and take you as my master, all the words you said to me were lies?"

Tang Zhen looked angry.

The old Taoist's face froze when he heard this.

But soon, he came back to his senses and said seriously: "Of course not!"

"Of course what I told you is true. How could I lie to you?"

"Your master, I can't find good things because I don't have enough talent and haven't studied the art of dragon-seeking and qi-seeking. But even so, I can still vaguely sense some treasures and have found some good things. Your talent is many times stronger than mine. Given time, you will definitely be able to cultivate to a very high level. By then, your ability to detect treasures will be very strong."

"Look, you have only practiced for a few days, but as soon as you entered the ruins, you have already sensed the treasures. If you continue to study, it is not impossible to surpass me and even everyone else. So, don't be discouraged. As long as you continue to practice, you will definitely be able to help the seniors a lot!"

Wentian patted his chest and made the promise.

"Really?"

Tang Zhen stared at the old Taoist, half believing and half doubting.

"real!"

The old Taoist patted his chest so hard that it made a thumping sound.

"You've passed this time!"

Tang Zhen turned around and followed Ye Qing.

Wentian breathed a sigh of relief and followed.

……

Not far from Ye Qing, there is a large space.

The space is circular, hundreds of meters in radius, like a huge square.

The dome is hemispherical, like an inverted bowl. At the edge, there are countless densely packed passages, at least dozens of them, like a honeycomb.

At this time, a group of people were standing sparsely in this huge square.

They gathered in groups of three or five, divided into more than ten teams and factions, with at least a hundred people in total. They formed a circle and confronted each other.

In the center of the crowd was an altar. The altar was round, not very big, about several feet wide, and not very high, less than two meters.

What attracted everyone's attention was not the altar itself, but the thing in the center of the altar.

A bell!

The clock is not very big, about half a person's height, and one person can hug it.

At this time, the bell is quietly placed in the center of the altar.

The bell body is dark gray in color and looks ordinary. The inscriptions carved on it appear rough, but no one will ignore it.

This clock is the only thing in this huge space.

The altar is in the center of this circular square, and the bell is in the center of the altar.

Its status is evident!
The most important thing is, no matter who you are or what your level of cultivation is, as long as you gaze confidently at the bell, you will hear the long and distant bell sounds, which are pleasant to the ears and touching to the soul.

How could this clock be ordinary?

"Everyone, how do you determine who owns this clock?"

The scene was silent for a long time, and finally an old man spoke, his voice was a little hoarse and serious.

Those around the altar heard and spoke.

After a while, an old man at the front of one of the teams spoke in a deep voice: "Of course this bell belongs to my Zhang family!"

"Why!"

Someone spoke up on his left.

"Just because we were the first to discover this place, and just because we wanted to obtain this bell, we lost seven people!"

The old man from the Zhang family turned around and looked at the person who was speaking, his eyes gleaming like lightning.

"so what?"

On their right, another old man said sinisterly, "Treasures have always been owned by the strong. In the world of cultivation, there is no such thing as first come first served."

"It's fine that the Zhang family has occupied the entrance to the rift and charged admission, but do you think you can occupy this clock as well?"

"You must know that you don't have the final say here!"

He snorted coldly, and finally added: "Your Zhang family has the geographical advantage, and a large number of people have entered the ruins, but this does not mean that this is where you are the strongest."

"You are just a dozen people, and you think you can monopolize this bell? Don't you even look at how many people are here? This is simply wishful thinking!"

The old man looked disdainful.

Upon hearing this, the old man from the Zhang family's face suddenly darkened.

He took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "Everyone from the Li and Ling families, our three families have always been united. Now that the situation is like this, why don't you stand with me?"

"Let's work together to seize the bell first, and then we can discuss and distribute it. What do you think?"

There is no doubt that since we are not at an advantage in numbers, we naturally have to find someone to join forces with.

Their Zhang family, Li family, and Ling family were originally on the same side. It was natural for them to unite and seize the treasure first.

"It's not impossible to join forces. My Ling family doesn't need this bell either. But if we take it, the party that takes it must pay more than one-third of the compensation to the other two parties!"

An old man from the Ling family said.

"My Li family agrees with Elder Ling's opinion."

A middle-aged man from the Li family added this.

The old man from the Zhang family looked cold, but after a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Okay!"

"In that case, we will help you seize the bell!"

Everyone from the Li and Ling families gathered together towards the Zhang family. In an instant, an alliance of three families was formed with more than forty people.

When the others saw this, their faces suddenly turned ugly.

"Hey, is it the Zhang family, the Ling family, or the Li family?"

Across the altar, an old man sneered, and then suddenly shouted: "I am the great elder of the Su family in Sunan. I want to seize this bell, but I am short of manpower. If anyone is willing to help my Su family, you will be rewarded handsomely afterwards!"

"My Su family is quite famous in the south. You must have heard of our Su family's elixirs, right? If you can seize this bell, the reward will be our elixirs!"

I am very tired, and I am a little stuck on the plot. I have been sitting in front of the computer for half a day, but I can’t write anything. So please forgive me. I will make up for the updates I owe during the day.
