Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 86 Two Saints Explore the Ruins!
Hun Mie Sheng looked at the old man in hemp clothes with a serious expression.

I didn’t expect that the ancient tribe would send this person here.

After he learned the news about the Dou Di ruins from Han Feng, he immediately reported it to the clan.

It's a pity that the clan remains skeptical about whether the ruins are real...

The reason given by the elders in the clan was that the ruins where the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was located a thousand years ago were unearthed, and the commotion was so great that it alarmed the entire Douqi Continent. There was no need to inquire specifically, as the eight ancient clans all knew about it.

Now it is suddenly said that a Dou Di relic has been unearthed, but the Soul Palace branches distributed in the northwest continent have not made any response. Instead, a person named Han Feng came with the news, which is really suspicious.

The Soul Clan gave the matter full authority to Hun Mie Sheng. After thinking it over again and again, he decided to come and investigate in person.

"Those old guys in the clan may be arrogant, but I'm not like them."

A cold look appeared on Hun Mie Sheng's face.

It is better to believe it exists than not to believe it exists. If you miss the opportunity due to a moment of negligence, it is a big taboo!

"Compared to my tribe, the Ancient Clan attaches great importance to this relic... That's right, according to Han Feng's description, the little princess of the Ancient Clan was also there at the time.

And if you stay longer, the information you get might be more accurate..."

There was a faint glow of flame in Hun Mie Sheng's eyes, and a monstrous black aura surrounded his body, as if a thousand-foot devil's abyss had opened up. Every wisp of fighting spirit contained a terrifying power that could change the color of the sky and the earth.

"Oh, this aura, you are from the Soul Clan... Hun Mie Sheng, it's you."

The old man in hemp clothes smiled and stroked lightly with his big hand, and the black air that made the heaven and earth tremble was silently annihilated.

"Don't be so nervous. Although the relationship between our two tribes is tense, if it weren't for an all-out war, how could I possibly kill you in public, hehe..."

Invisible murderous intent spread across the sky and then quickly dissipated.

Hun Miesheng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Senior, do you know me?"

"In the past thousand years, there haven't been many young soul clan members who have made a name for themselves on the continent. Your reputation is the most resounding. Even though I live in seclusion in the ancient world, I have heard of you."

The old man in hemp clothes chuckled faintly.

Hun Miesheng clasped his hands together and said in a deep voice, "I've always heard that Senior is the leader of the Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan. Seeing you today, you are truly a towering figure."

Gu Dao nodded: "There are not many young people in the Soul Clan who are as polite as you."

The Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan are the three supreme elders of the Ancient Clan. They may not be the most powerful people in the Ancient Clan, but their status and qualifications are extremely old, almost on par with Gu Yuan. Even King Heiyan has to bow in front of them.

Gu Dao is the leader of the three immortals of the ancient clan, and his status in the ancient clan is second only to the clan leader Gu Yuan.

"The Soul Clan is quite well-informed... You are here for the ruins as well, right?"

Hun Miesheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Not bad."

There is no way to deny it. He is the Lord of the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan Fighting Saint. If there is nothing wrong, how could he come to the Northwest Continent?

"In that case, how about you and I go together?"

Gudao stroked his beard and smiled, a smile appearing on his wrinkled face, his coarse linen clothes fluttering gently, he looked harmless, but occasionally a gleam of brilliance flashed in his cloudy eyes.

"...Senior's kindness is hard to refuse, how dare this junior refuse."

"That's good."

Gu Dao smiled.

Hun Mie Sheng frowned.

Logically speaking, this old guy should have driven him away and let the ancient clan take over the ruins alone. Is his current behavior really abnormal?
However, Hun Mie Sheng could not say no. He really had to explore the ruins himself before he would feel at ease.

"Let's go then."

Gu Dao lightly tapped the green bamboo staff in his hand in the air. In an instant, the two figures spread out like ink, and in the blink of an eye, they had crossed a hundred miles and arrived above the ruins.

"The spatial barrier... I think it was created by that Xiao clan member. A thousand years have passed since the Xiao clan's transformation, and it's rare to still have a ninth-grade bloodline left."

Gu Dao looked nostalgic, as if he was reminiscing about the past.

"A mere trick." Hun Miesheng's expression was indifferent. With a flick of his finger, the spatial barrier emitted a crisp sound like porcelain shattering, turning into countless points of light and dissipating, revealing the true appearance of the ruins, and an ancient and desolate aura soared into the sky.

"Let's not even mention the rest. This desolate aura is indeed very old. It's just that the materials used to build this ruin are a bit too simple."

A look of doubt flashed across Gu Dao's eyes.

When Xun'er and Lingquan brought the news back to the clan, their subconscious reaction was disbelief, but Xun'er's words of affirmation convinced them, so the clan leader let him go.

"Maybe there's another world out there."

The two slowly landed and stepped into the ruins, but after walking in the dark corridor for a while, Hun Mie Sheng noticed something was wrong.

Gu Dao walked behind him all the time, deliberately keeping a distance.

"Senior, what do you mean?"

"Haha, young man, I'm old now. It's better for you to do the exploration."

Gu Dao chuckled.

Hun Mie Sheng looked unhappy.

This old guy clearly wanted him to lead the charge. If this place is really the remains of the Dou Emperor, then there might be unknown dangers! If not, then the ancient road will not suffer any loss.

"Even if he confirms the ruins are real... he will suddenly attack me from behind and let me die here! To ensure that the news reaches the ancient clan as soon as possible!"

When he thought of this, Hun Mie Sheng's face turned ugly. Under normal circumstances, Gu Dao would certainly not do anything to him.

However, the temptation of a Dou Di relic is enough to start an all-out war between the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan!

"This old guy is so sinister! Even his previous words were filled with traps!"

Hun Mie Sheng cursed in his heart.

Gu Dao's voice turned cold: "What are you standing there for? Let's go."

Hun Mie Sheng suppressed the anger in his heart and walked forward slowly. In the dark corridor, he saw the remains of the killing array, the broken puppets, the mysterious mechanisms, the powerful dragon-breaking stone...all kinds of mechanical tests came into view.

Gu Dao pondered for a moment and said, "On the surface, it looks decent, but compared to the standards of an emperor's ruins, it's a bit ordinary... or perhaps, crude."

Hunmiesheng also has this feeling.

To the strong men on the continent, these mysterious mechanisms are already full of murderous intent, but in the eyes of the saints of the imperial clan, they are ordinary, even like junk used to make up the numbers.

Gu Dao was somewhat disappointed. He had entered the ruins of the ancient Tuoshe Emperor Jade together with the saints of the eight ancient tribes.

These so-called Sword Emperor's relics are not comparable at all to the ancient emperor's relics of that year.

But thousands of years of experience in dealing with the world still makes Gu Dao remain vigilant.

However, Hun Mie Sheng no longer had such good patience. He frowned, and his vast soul power swept through the entire ruins, exploring it inside and out. Seeing that he had not touched any ancient restrictions, he became even more impatient.

"Is this place perhaps some bored fellow deliberately created to play a trick on future generations?"

This kind of thing is common in the Douqi Continent. Not every relic is a place where treasures are buried or passed down by predecessors.

What is even more shocking is that some evil people love to build these fake ruins that are full of killing arrays but actually empty, and they enjoy teasing and killing treasure hunters!

"Young man, have some patience. Now that you're here, why don't you take a look with your own eyes before jumping to conclusions? Are ancient restrictions that block soul detection rare?"

Gu Dao said lightly.

"Ok."

The two entered the Dan Pavilion and the Academy again, but found nothing.

The various signs inside made them believe that this so-called Sword Emperor's ruins was really just a deliberate forgery by some bored predecessor as a prank to tease later generations.

And in the end, the two finally arrived at the tomb inscription room.

As soon as the two stepped into the temple, they saw a majestic stone statue that was over a hundred feet tall, carved from a material that was neither gold nor jade, with colorful Taoist rhymes flowing on the surface, and holding a giant sword!
