Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 55 Entering the Ruins

The following day at noon, as the sun hung high in the sky, a group of powerful individuals residing in Blackwind City finally set out. ✌♖ 6999x.ⓒx ✌🐟

"Hehe, everyone, please follow me." Facing the eager gazes of the crowd, the Black Wind Sect Master personally acted as the guide.

In the past, when exploring ruins, the Black Wind Sect would usually only send one elder to lead the team, but today the sect leader personally took action.

The reason is none other than those two young men.

He didn't know the identity of the boy in black, but he did know something about the identity of the cold-faced girl.

"The Medicine Clan! An ancient race with a history of over ten thousand years, descendants of Dou Di, and still has several Dou Sheng powerhouses in the clan."

Thinking of that unattainable realm, the Black Wind Sect Master couldn't help but feel his throat bob.

The ruins of the Yin-Yang Evil Saint were less than a hundred miles from Black Wind City. The weakest among those present was at the Dou Huang level, and in just a quarter of an hour, they arrived in front of the ancient ruins.

"Everyone, this is the ruins of the Evil Saint." Flying over an endless wheat field, the Black Wind Sect Master pointed to the ancient city that seemed to appear out of nowhere on the plain and laughed.

The ancient city is only about ten miles in diameter, which doesn't look very big. One side is covered by a white halo, while the other side is covered by a thick black fog.

The terrifying thick fog, even a single glance at it, would stir up a violent killing intent in one's heart.

In front of this ancient city stands a prominent ancient stone tablet.

The stone tablet was not originally there, but it slowly appeared as a Dou Zong powerhouse from the Black Wind Sect tried to force his way in.

"Those who enter this site will have the opportunity to receive the lineage of this saint."

However, those above the Dou Zong level are not allowed to enter; if they force their way in, the ruins will explode!

The ancient script carries a sense of untamed spirit; even after a thousand years, people can seem to feel a free-spirited and unrestrained soul within it.

"Everyone, the ruins are about to open. Prepare yourselves. I have already told you the price for entering. It is not too late to retreat now," the Black Wind Sect Master said solemnly.

No one responded.

At this moment, the area on the sunny side, which was originally shrouded in a white light, suddenly rippled, and a silver halo appeared around the ruins.

"Everyone, time's up. Please come in. This light circle will close in a quarter of an hour. Please be careful." The Black Wind Sect Master chuckled, glancing subtly at Xiao Yan and Yao Ling.

Everyone nodded slightly, and some Dou Huang experts spread their Dou Qi wings and flew inside.

"Cousin, do you want to go together? It might be safer if the two of us go together." Xiao Yan looked at Yao Ling beside him.

"As a man as steady as an old dog, Xiao Yan never gives up readily available help. The people of the Medicine Clan cannot be completely trusted, but they are still better than outsiders."

Because they knew how terrifying the Xiao clan was, they dared not offend them easily.

In addition, Xiao Yan had another secret idea.

Yao Ling frowned slightly, but then heard Yao Xu say, "Miss, it's always better to go with the young man from the Xiao Clan than to cooperate with outsiders. As a prodigy of the Xiao Clan, he must have some impressive trump cards."

"The people in the ruins are complex, and others may not all care about the face of our Medicine Clan."

After thinking for a moment, Yao Ling finally nodded.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's playful and cheeky approach last night had worked. In the minds of Yao Ling and even the three members of the Yao Clan, this person could already be considered a semi-acquaintance.

Unless there are special circumstances, this boy should be safer than a typical stranger.

However, this is sometimes a misconception.

Seeing Yao Ling nod, Xiao Yan stopped joking and instead showed a serious expression. Such an expression often gives partners a sense of trust and security.

"Let's go." Yao Ling rarely spoke up, and a pair of beautiful battle aura wings unfolded behind her as she flew into the ruins first.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan didn't wait any longer and spread his wings to fly inside.

Passing through the silver halo, the group found themselves in another world.

The Dou Sheng powerhouse possesses the miraculous ability to conceal his hair within a mustard seed, and the space within the ancient city is clearly much larger than the small city seen from the outside.

However, with the passage of time, there is no trace of life left in the ancient city.

But in this space that had been empty for thousands of years, a group of people suddenly barged in.

"Is this the space that the Yin-Yang Evil Saint created back then?" Xiao Yan, who had entered, also took a look around.

They are far inferior to the Xiao clan.

"Cousin, don't fly so fast!" Xiao Yan glanced at Yao Ling ahead and quickly followed. Just then, several figures approached Yao Ling.

Those were several Dou Huang powerhouses, but their eyes were now slightly red, and their gazes toward Yao Ling were filled with desire.

"Holy crap, the curse in the ruins has already taken effect so quickly?" Xiao Yan remembered that these guys seemed to have arrived only a few breaths earlier than him.

"Beautiful lady, let's have some fun together," a Dou Huang said with a wicked grin.

Normally they might have been able to hold back for a while, but now, seeing a stunningly beautiful woman, they could hardly suppress the lust within them.

"Get out of my way, or die!" Yao Ling stared at the group with an icy expression.

"Heh heh, I didn't expect her to be such a feisty little devil." The Dou Huang chuckled and couldn't resist attacking Yao Ling.

Yao Ling didn't speak, but just snorted coldly. A terrifying soul storm erupted from her body, so powerful that even Xiao Yan's expression changed.

This soul strength is probably comparable to that of a high-level seventh-tier alchemist.

Looking at Yao Ling's young face, which was not even twenty years old, Xiao Yan was speechless. No wonder it was said that the Emperor Spirit Divine Soul Body had the potential to enter the Emperor Realm.

"Soul-Shattering Spear!" Yao Ling shouted.

That invisible yet soul-powering force, capable of causing one's very soul to tremble slightly, condensed in the air into an invisible spear, which then shot fiercely towards the Dou Huang who had made the lewd remarks.

"Ah!" The Dou Huang screamed in agony, then fell to the ground clutching his head, bleeding from all seven orifices.

Damage to the soul may not be so obvious, but it is much more difficult to repair.

Upon witnessing this scene, the other Dou Huangs' previously burning eyes briefly cleared, and they quickly apologized and left.

How could a woman who dares to enter such a ruin be so easily provoked?

"Cousin is awesome!" Xiao Yan followed up and quietly flattered her.

"If all you're good at is talking, then I don't see any point in us teaming up."

Yao Ling snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied with Xiao Yan's inaction earlier.

"Hehe, no way. Since I've chosen to keep my cousin company, of course I'll be her protector." Xiao Yan chuckled.

The two stopped talking and quickly flew towards the Yin-Yang Twin Flames according to the information in their hands.

The rest of the relics held little appeal for the two, not even the so-called legacy of the Yin-Yang Evil Saint.

Xiao Yan was actually quite curious.

About fifteen minutes later, the two discovered an ancient altar in the distance.

Within this altar, a black and white flame was burning.

Upon seeing the flames, Xiao Yan's expression changed.
