C249 Discovered

"Damn it!"

Qin Shaojie, who was crawling within the sand, suddenly frowned as the profound energy in his body started to circulate.

He escaped the detection of White Night Sect and Qingyang Sect, but never thought that he would fall into Nether Sect's hands. At this moment, that seemingly extremely handsome, and perhaps even weak Nether Sect disciple had coincidentally appeared at the location of his ambush. And from Qin Shaojie, it was only a distance of three feet.

If the other party was extremely careful at such a distance, it would not be difficult for him to discover it. The most important thing was that the other party's eyes suddenly looked straight at him. Qin Shaojie was very sure that the other party had met his gaze, and it was impossible that he had not noticed it. After all, Qin Shaojie had also felt the deepest part of the other party's eyes flicker with astonishment.

Qin Shaojie had no choice but to prepare for the worst. The moment the other party screamed, Qin Shaojie would immediately make his move. First capture him, then think of another way. However, if they were to be discovered in this sort of situation, then they would have to carefully consider entering the ancient ruins from time to time.

However, what surprised Qin Shaojie was that the disciple of the Nether Sect did not seem to see him, his eyes continued to size up the surroundings, and when the other disciples of the Nether Sect said that there were no problems, he also returned. Just that when he left, he looked at Qin Shaojie once again, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Qin Shaojie saw the person very accurately, but he was not sure of the disciple's plan at the moment. He was sure that the other party must have sensed his existence, but why did he not say anything regarding such a huge matter, and why was that smile not an evil scheme, instead it made people feel at ease, as if he was telling Qin Shaojie that he would hide things from everyone.

Even so, Qin Shaojie did not dare be negligent, the Profound Spirit Qi in his body remained unrestrained, and he quietly released his divine sense into the storage ring. If the worst comes to worst, he would immediately release the corpse puppet army.

"Hmph, there's no use in this. Now, everyone, take out the secret keys. The opening time of this Ancient Era's Remnant is quite short, and I'm afraid it would be a pity to miss it."

Seeing that all of Nether Sect's disciples had returned, the extremely disciples of White Night Sect also sneered. How could someone else exist in this godforsaken place? What's more, the disciples of the White Night Sect s and the White Night Sect s had all checked once, and to them, this was just an unnecessary move from the Nether Sect s.

As his voice fell, although the disciples of the Nether Sect were frowning, their expressions were ugly, but in the end they did not make a move. After all, this was not the time to make a move, if anyone had the ability, they would be able to come out alive in the ancient ruins.

Everyone took out a jade box from their hands, and when they looked at the jade box that was as big as a palm, Qin Shaojie's heartbeat quickened, because the jade box that he, Elder Ye, had given him to protect himself from the key was exactly the same as the one in everyone's hands. It didn't look that special, as if it could be bought anywhere on the streets outside. However, there were numbers written on the top of the jade box, ranging from 1 to 20.

And the jade box in Qin Shaojie's hands had a number of 13.

"According to the agreed rules, only disciples from the three big sects are allowed to enter. The disciples of the three big sects don't necessarily have to act in unison, but not only is it a last resort, they can't kill each other. Maximizing the treasures within the ancient ruins is the main purpose of this trip."

The disciple leading the Qingyang Sect looked much more calm, and his words made everyone nod their heads seriously. No matter how powerful the three great sects were, even the elders of their sect did not dare to lightly touch this ancient ruin. From this, one could see how powerful it was. Although they might have conflicts with each other, killing each other from the very beginning had undoubtedly weakened their overall strength.

After he said those words, everyone opened the jade box. When they opened it, waves of glaring golden light instantly shot out from the jade box. However, this light did not last for long.

The key did not seem complicated, it could even be said to be a single key. However, if one were to look at it carefully, the gear structure of the key that one wished for would have a slight gap in its structure and would not need to have a use for it. The most important part was the light circulating around the key, as if a layer of fluorescent light was scattered on it.

Everyone carefully took out these secret keys and held them in their hands. When they saw that the nineteen keys were all here, everyone looked at each other. After which, the three great sects spread out and a person from each sect walked out.

The auras of these three people were quite dense, and could be said to have reached half a step into Life and death level. Although he still had no way to fight against a true life and death realm expert, he was still far from someone who could be compared with a Spirit Sea Realm expert.

Other than that, when the seals of the three people changed, an extremely dense light flashed across their eyes. Just this glance caused Qin Shaojie's pupils to constrict a little, no wonder they were able to become the leaders, the three of them were only around the age of eighteen years old, to be able to reach half a step into the life and death realm at that age was truly not easy, but most importantly, these three people were actually all from the Nine psycho s!

As expected of a sect, it was indeed a place where the nine psycho s hid and it was difficult to find them. However, the nine psycho s were presumably being nurtured within the various large sects as if they were elders or even the next sect master.

One of the reasons why sects were far from being a place where dynasties and academies could surpass them was because there were endless streams of talented people gathering there. The weakest amongst them were probably the Seven psycho s or even the Eight psycho s. Any one of them would be considered to be an absolute top talent, and adding on the various resources provided by the sect, the most orthodox cultivation method in the sect would be to add wings to a tiger's back.

The three of them had changed their hand seals. Obviously, the three sects had agreed upon this beforehand. Unless the three of them attacked at the same time, it was impossible to open the barrier.

As their hand seals changed, three different auras of energy gradually spread out from their bodies and slowly fused together. The powerful aura fluctuations that were produced by the fusion of these three powers, was naturally also felt by Qin Shaojie, who was hiding within the ground. However, he still did not dare to use the slightest bit of profound energy within his body due to this kind of suppression.

At the moment the three energies intersected, the four originally motionless mountain peaks also started to sway a little. As they moved behind, they became more and more obvious, and in the end, a energy shield that could be seen with the naked eye began to quietly rise from the seemingly empty mountain peaks.

The energy shield emitted extremely dense energy fluctuations, even with the naked eye looking at it, it made Qin Shaojie unable to help but take a deep breath. Presumably, this was the seal and barrier that Elder Ye and Gauguin spoke of. At this time, Qin Shaojie also heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not plan to force his way in, since this seal and barrier were much stronger than he had imagined.

Even someone as shallow as himself, who had mastered array formations, would not be able to truly break through the barrier with his current strength and cultivation level. As long as he released his aura, it would attract the attention of the barrier.

When they saw that the sealing formation had appeared, a hint of joy appeared in the pupils of the three of them. Then, the three of them worked together to induce the combined power to slowly descend onto the formation.

In the instant the power and seal was removed, a buzzing sound also burst out. As the buzzing sound rang out, a formless power formed a wave shape and with the Tiger Tooth Mountain as the center, it spread everywhere.

The distance that it covered was at least three hundred meters, which was the distance of fifteen kilometers that Old Ye and Gauguin had mentioned!

At this moment, Qin Shaojie's heartbeat sped up, he did not expect this guy to have such a move, and the undulations were most likely made to inspect if someone was hiding in a secret space, since Earth Origin Stage level martial artists could tear open space. Luckily, Qin Shaojie was buried deep in the ground and the energy did not rush downwards.

But just when Qin Shaojie was secretly relieved, he discovered that the gaze of the young disciple from the Nether Sect was once again, imperceptibly, shooting towards him. This gaze, also caused Qin Shaojie's hair to stand on end.

He really couldn't understand why this little fellow would pretend to have not seen anything when it had clearly discovered him. He seemed to be staring at Ye Xiao.

"Open!"

When the power completely landed on the seal and barrier, the three of them also simultaneously let out a fierce shout. The barrier on their hands also continuously changed, and soon after, the power actually forcefully tore a hole in the seal.

As the seals continued to change, the crack grew larger and larger. In just a few blinks of an eye, it had formed a small spatial crack that was large enough to allow a person to pass through.

Seeing this, White Night Sect's face revealed joy. He led the group of them to take out the secret key and lead them towards the crevice.

The moment they passed through the crack door, the earth at the center of the Tiger Tooth Mountain rumbled and surged as if a huge force had erupted from below. Soon after, they saw a huge hole that looked like the mouth of a tiger rising up from the ground!

Seeing that, the White Night Sect who was the first to enter looked even more excited, and he directly shot inside!

When the Qingyang Sect saw this, he did not fall behind, and the six of them disappeared from the place like lightning.

"Quick everyone, there's only ten breaths of time left!"

Seeing that, the remaining Nether Sect's face also darkened, he did not care about anything else, with a loud shout, seven figures shot out like arrows towards the inside, and no one noticed that the one behind the hall was the weakest little fellow.

But only Qin Shaojie knew, that perhaps the disciple had done it on purpose. Because the moment he entered the barrier, he nodded to himself!

It was obvious that he was telling Qin Shaojie, following him, even if there was any aura undulation, he would not tell anyone else!

Qin Shaojie was completely unable to figure out what the young man was thinking, but at the moment, he did not have time to think of anything else, and the profound energy in his body instantly burst forth, clenching onto the secret key, he directly transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged in the direction of the crack that was about to disappear!
