Chapter 102 Talking about points hurts feelings.
"Why are you all looking at me like that? Is there a problem?" Elder Qing Shizong was also bewildered. He really didn't know why everyone was looking at him.
The Second Elder sneered, ignoring what he said, and directly used his inner energy to grab him and another Qing Shi Sect elder.
The Xuan Ye Sect members standing nearby were startled and quickly took a few steps back to distance themselves from the Qing Shi Sect.
The Xuan Ye Sect elder even waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "We really have nothing to do with the Qing Shi Sect. They did it on their own, and I really don't know what happened!"
"We were just arguing! The Xuan Ye Sect and the Qing Shi Sect have never spoken to each other before!"
The Xuan Ye Sect elder almost burst into tears. He regretted not being so stubborn and not talking to the Qing Shi Sect elder.
Now, he's being watched by so many sects, he's practically on the verge of tears!
"Fifth Junior Brother, contact Elder Duanmu and explain what happened at the ruins. I'll contact the Sect Master and Ninth Junior Brother." The Second Elder's face was grim.
The Southern Spirit Sect had already found its inheritance, but then the Azure Stone Sect encountered a problem.
Among the disciples they brought were demons!
No matter what kind of demon race it is, those Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment disciples cannot resist it.
The ruins are now in trouble and we can no longer contact them at all.
Even the Second Elder doesn't know if the disciples inside the ruins can get out by crushing the teleportation jade tablets!
They should have known better than to let the Qing Shi Sect in, even if it meant breaking off relations. The reason they let the Qing Shi Sect in before was to see what kind of trouble this sect was up to.
I never expected this sect to be so audacious, actually having connections with evil spirits!
The Second Elder quickly contacted the Sect Master, but there was no news from the Ninth Junior Brother. It was very likely that he had also entered the ruins or secret realm, just like the Supreme Elder.
This made his face even uglier, so he simply took out two drops of blood and drew several formations in the air.
Upon sensing the jade tokens of the Qing Shi Sect disciples, the Second Elder crushed them directly.
He tampered with the jade tokens used by those people just in case, to prevent this situation from happening.
However, even after all the jade tablets were crushed, there was still no movement at the exit of the ruins, indicating that the ruins were indeed sealed off.
The expressions of the elders around them grew increasingly grim.
…
Inside the ruins.
Beside the towering ancient tree, two masked men looked regretful.
"It got away."
"Otherwise, with the added combat power of a fifth-tier Nascent Soul stage demon beast, sweeping through the ruins would be a piece of cake."
The two people's voices were very hoarse and very strange, as if they were being forced out of their throats.
"We need to find those people quickly and destroy the ancient heritage of the human race. The Demon Lord will be very happy."
"Oh, right, there's also Young Master's order. He said that this mission must find a person named Lan Yue to avenge Young Master."
"Cut off your tongue then."
"Take off his head."
"Make sure she can never speak again."
"Tie her up and present her to the young lord."
The two of them chatted as if no one else was around.
It occasionally let out strange and grating laughter.
Several other disciples of the Qing Shi Sect stood beside the two of them.
However, all the disciples had dark, bluish-black faces, and black smoke was constantly rising from their heads.
Beneath the skin's blood vessels, something seemed to be wriggling.
"Let's go find the place of inheritance." A few faint threads were wrapped around the two people's fingers.
The black smoke above the heads of the Qing Shi Sect disciples slowly disappeared, and their bluish-black faces gradually returned to normal.
However, just as they were setting off, the teleportation jade tokens on all of their waists suddenly exploded.
To protect the puppets, the two demons casually tossed out black bags that enveloped everyone inside.
When the two demons came out, a trace of dark red blood oozed from the corners of their mouths.
"Those old fogies have been watching us for a while now."
"They actually set up an ambush on the teleportation jade tablet."
"This is outrageous! If these two bodies are completely destroyed, it will be very difficult for us to control the other humans!"
"Let's go, let's continue. The Land of Inheritance must be destroyed!"
…
Inside the nine-story array tower, Lan Yue was unaware that two demons were walking the same path they had come from, secretly plotting to take her head.
However, the consciousness at the top of the tower seemed to sense something and looked towards the location of the towering ancient tree.
"It seems like some annoying bugs have gotten in again. Why can't I kill them no matter how hard I try?"
This consciousness seemed somewhat angry.
┻╰（ ‵ □ ′ ）╯
However, she was merely the remnant consciousness of an ancient powerful being, and was unable to leave the array tower at all.
They could only watch helplessly as those "people" drew closer and closer.
It's okay, those guys will get what's coming to the Nine-Story Tower!
No longer caring about the insects, she turned her attention back to where Lan Yue was.
"Strange, this little guy has been quiet for days, just wandering around in these formations, but he won't break them."
"What is she talking about? Doesn't she know that only by breaking all the formations can she reach the seventh level?"
"Could it be that he's really not good at breaking formations?"
This thought suddenly came to mind: the little guy's first time stepping into the sixth level, he mentioned that he wasn't good at breaking formations.
"That's such a pity. Stopping at the sixth level means you can't get the real inheritance."
"If the little one gets to the seventh floor, maybe I can find a way to help her."
This consciousness was unclear; although Lan Yue appeared to be wandering around within these formations.
In fact, she had already stolen a lot of the "energy" from these formations and memorized their structure.
Lan Yue's spiritual consciousness had actually sunk into the system space, where she set up a small ancient five elements array.
"Wait a little longer, I'll soon be able to complete all the Five Elements Formations here, and I'm sure I'll find a gap!"
She simulated a small array again and flashed into the space.
This time, she didn't just enter the space with her spiritual sense; she entered completely.
"I've simulated all the formations on this floor. How can I break through them all in one go?"
Lan Yue had vaguely sensed a few days ago that there were many ancient Five Elements formations here.
However, there are connections between different formations.
Just like the gears in the machines she had seen in her previous life, all the gears, big and small, were turning, but when one of them turned, it would drive all the other gears.
Therefore, Lan Yue guessed that she had probably broken one of the formations.
Before long, the formation will likely recover naturally, and then everything will have been in vain.
"So this is the charm of the ancient Five Elements Formation? Interlocking rings, one layer after another."
"However, nothing is perfect, and there must be a breakthrough."
Lan Yue began to manipulate the Five Elements Array in the space again.
These Five Elements Formations were small-scale formations she set up herself, and they did not have the interconnected nature of the formations on the sixth level.
So it still doesn't work.
"System, I still have to rely on you!" Lan Yue called out to the system in her mind.
"Get that simulation lab working for me. I'm going to break all the formations in one go this time!"
system:"..."
"Still owe points?" the system asked helplessly.
Do you know exactly how many points you owe?
The system increased the volume.
"System, let's not talk about points, it'll only hurt our feelings," Lan Yue chuckled.
"Quickly, charge! Charge! Charge!"
…
It's 750 now, just about 200 short. I can finish it in a day, so I'm going to add the stamp.
Try changing the cover and see if it increases the volume slightly. If not, change it back.
The new seal is purple.
