Chapter 97 A Pair of Enemies
Outside the ruins.
The elders breathed a sigh of relief as they watched their disciples enter the ruins safely one by one.
"I estimate this is the second time in several years that the Jueling Island Ruins will be open. I just probed the entrance to the ruins, but there was no response."
The Second Elder frowned slightly. He had thought that he could allow disciples of the Southern Spirit Sect to go in for training every now and then.
"Going in once every three to five years is enough. One shouldn't be too greedy." The Fifth Elder didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"I wonder how that kid Li Bai is doing. I just don't feel at ease." He suddenly felt his heart skip a beat and thought that something must have happened to that guy.
"Don't worry too much. We have to let those guys go out and train on their own. They can't just wander around the sect. How are we going to deal with the upcoming calamities if they do that?" The Second Elder said calmly.
All the elders exchanged glances, understanding each other's concerns.
"We'll do whatever we have to do. We only have one life anyway," the Crimson Moon Sect Master said indifferently.
Does he really have to live in constant fear of what will happen thousands of years from now? That would be such a miserable life!
"Red Moon, didn't you think there were two very strange people just now? They went in wearing masks," the Yao Guang Sect Master suddenly said.
"Was someone wearing a mask just now? I don't think I noticed." The Crimson Moon Sect Master's mind was entirely on the Crimson Flame Volcano, because she thought those little guys seemed pretty good and could be captured, or rather, invited to the Crimson Moon Sect.
Speaking of masks, the Second Elder immediately looked at the Qing Shi Sect Elder. Those two masked people were from this sect.
When Chi Ji first put the person in, he didn't notice anything unusual.
However, ever since the appearance of the human-ghost that even the Refining Hall Master of the Southern Spirit Sect couldn't detect, they have become more vigilant than before.
I couldn't detect any aura just now. What if those two people also used some special means to conceal their spiritual energy?
"Why are you all staring at me? Those two disciples are indeed from the Southern Spirit Sect, but their faces were bitten by demons when they went out to train. These two disciples are already so unlucky, are you going to kick them while they're down and reopen their wounds?" The Qing Shi Sect elder said righteously.
"Where did this evil spirit appear? Why didn't your Qing Shi Sect report it?" The Second Elder asked sternly, his face almost turning black.
The sect leader had already contacted various sects in the Southern and even Northern Regions to make them pay attention to the Demon Abyss Rift, so what exactly is going on with this Qing Shi Sect?
"Are you all out of your minds? Even if everyone in the Azure Stone Sect wants to die, don't drag other sects into it!" The Crimson Moon Sect Master was furious.
The Azure Stone Sect is not far from their Crimson Moon Sect. If something happens to this sect, in addition to the nearby Mysterious Leaf Sect and Southern Spirit Sect, their Crimson Moon Sect will definitely suffer as well!
"It's just a very small crack, less than a finger's width, and our sect leader has already closed it! This is the achievement of our Qing Shi Sect, and no one can take it away from us!"
Although the elder of the Qing Shi Sect was apprehensive, he still mustered up his courage and spoke.
"Fool! Do you think the Demon Abyss Rift is so easy to seal? Any sect can close that rift, and the most important thing is the spatial seal!" The usually composed Second Elder was almost driven mad with anger.
The sect leader fears these self-righteous sects the most, so he hasn't returned yet and has been patrolling outside.
Unexpectedly, the first sects to encounter problems were those near the Southern Spirit Sect!
"There's absolutely no problem. Our sect leader's technique is superb. There haven't been any more spatial fluctuations coming from over there, so there shouldn't be any issues, right?" The voice of this Qing Shi Sect elder grew softer and softer.
"By the time you realize the problem, it will be too late!" the Crimson Moon Sect Master said sternly.
"Elder Duanmu, we may need you to take some people to the Qing Shi Sect," the Second Elder said, turning around.
The Crimson Moon Sect Master and the Yao Guang Sect Master whispered something to the elders behind them, and then the three elders, including Elder Duanmu, led their people away.
Only the elder from the Qing Shi Sect looked annoyed, feeling that he would definitely be angry with the sect leader for revealing the information, and he didn't know what kind of fate awaited him.
He shook his head helplessly and decided to just ignore it.
Could he possibly stop the three top sects from sending people to investigate on the spot? He's not ready to die yet.
So he could only awkwardly back away, pretending he knew nothing.
After the Second Elder dismissed Elder Duanmu's men, he sighed inwardly.
Another Demon Abyss Rift has appeared, and even Yun Li, whom he brought back, has disappeared. A storm is brewing!
…
Inside the ruins.
One of the disciples who had just entered was swallowed whole by the gaping maw of a Golden Core stage demon beast before he could even react.
In a life-or-death moment, he suddenly crushed the teleportation jade tablet, then appeared before all the elders covered in saliva.
This person happened to be a disciple of the Xuan Ye Sect. He fainted from fright after coming out, which made the elders of the Xuan Ye Sect extremely embarrassed.
The disciples of other sects at least held on for so many days, but the disciples of this sect came out as soon as they went in. Is their sect really that bad?
The Xuan Ye Sect elder was in a daze. He glanced at the disciples of the Qing Shi Sect again and became even more anxious.
They originally aimed to compete with the Qing Shi Sect and didn't dare to compare themselves with the three top sects. But the disciples of the Qing Shi Sect were stronger than them. How could this be?
"I'm dying of laughter! I thought your Xuan Ye Sect was so powerful, daring to show up here like this. I never expected you to be nothing but a shiny turd on the outside!" The Qing Shi Sect elder laughed uncontrollably, feeling a sense of relief.
However, when he turned his head, he saw that his disciple's water curtain had destroyed two in succession, each one faster than the last.
Elder of the Qing Shi Sect: "!!!!"
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! At least one of our disciples went out, but you wiped out two at once, and you still have the nerve to criticize us!" The Xuan Ye Sect elder was overjoyed and almost wanted to sing a song.
The elders watching: "..."
What kind of nemesis are these two? They haven't had a moment's peace since they arrived here.
"Ahem, quiet down!" The Second Elder spoke up at the right moment, and the two people opposite him finally quieted down.
At that moment, another exclamation came from the side: "Yuan Shuo and the twin siblings' screen has also turned white!"
The water curtains surrounding the three of them were also a vast expanse of white, just like the other disciples.
"They've entered the formation area too?" someone asked, sounding puzzled.
The other elders remained silent, and even the elders from the Northern Ridge Holy Land nearby fell into deep thought.
Because they all guessed one possibility: that these children had touched upon the legacy of the relics.
"This ruin actually has two inheritances?" The Fifth Elder secretly whispered to the Second Elder, his tone filled with doubt and surprise.
"It seems so at the moment," the Second Elder said in a steady voice.
"I hope these children can withstand the test and obtain the destiny that belongs to them."
