Chapter 76 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road

"waste!"

"He couldn't even handle an unknown kid, and he got beaten up like this."

"You have truly disgraced my Hehuan Sect!"

"Master, please calm your anger!"

Zhao Wuque immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"It's not that I'm incompetent, it's just that that kid is a bit strange!"

"There was no spiritual energy fluctuation on his body, and his physical strength was terrifying. I was careless for a moment, and that's why..."

"That's enough!"

Hua Wuying interrupted him impatiently.

"A loss is a loss; there are no excuses."

"I always tell you to play around with women more and spend less time on other things, but you just won't listen."

"Now look what's happened! You've been publicly humiliated, and now your teacher has to clean up your mess!"

Several disciples of the Hehuan Sect nearby couldn't help but burst into mocking laughter upon seeing this.

"Senior Brother Zhao, aren't you usually so impressive? How come you've been defeated by a pretty boy today?"

"It seems that Senior Brother Zhao hasn't had enough women; he can't beat just anyone."

Hearing his fellow disciples mock him, Zhao Wuque's face flushed red, his heart filled with humiliation.

But he dared not lash out and could only bury his head even lower.

"Alright, all of you, shut up!"

Hua Wuying glanced at the crowd and sneered.

"Don't forget why we're here!"

"That ancient ruin is about to open; this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"It is said that it contains a secret cultivation technique left behind by an ancient powerful being. If we can obtain it, our Joyful Union Sect will surely increase its strength greatly!"

At this point, a hint of greed flashed in Hua Wuying's eyes.

"At this critical juncture, anyone who stirs up trouble and ruins everything..."

"I'll cripple him and throw him into the Serpent Cave to feed the snakes!"

Upon hearing the words "Ten Thousand Snake Cave," everyone couldn't help but shudder, quickly abandoning their playful smiles and responding respectfully.

Zhao Wuque was so frightened that he turned pale and kowtowed repeatedly.

"This disciple knows his mistake! This disciple will never dare to do it again!"

"snort!"

Hua Wuying snorted coldly.

Get up.

"I'll let you off this time."

"You'd better be on your best for the upcoming operation!"

"If anything goes wrong again, you know the consequences!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you for your mercy, Master!"

Zhao Wuque felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and quickly got up and stood aside without daring to speak.

"As for those two people..."

Hua Wuying narrowed his eyes, a hint of murderous intent flashing within them.

"We cannot let this go unpunished for daring to attack someone from my Hehuan Sect."

"Of course, now is not the time to take action."

"Once the matter of the ruins is resolved, I will personally take action, strip them of their spiritual power, and hand them over to you for punishment, so they will know the consequences of offending my Joyful Union Sect!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Zhao Wuque was overjoyed, his eyes filled with delight.

"Su Qinghuan... and that prince..."

"You just wait!"

"When the time comes, I will make you wish you were dead!"

……

The next morning.

Lu Xuan and Su Qinghuan left the inn early and headed into the depths of the mountains.

According to the information provided by Shen Qiansan, Duanhun Valley is located in the heart of the Wanyao Mountain Range, hundreds of miles away from Luoxia Town.

The two didn't walk very fast, but remained vigilant and cautious along the way.

After all, this is the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, a place fraught with danger.

Danger is everywhere.

Something's not right.

After traveling for about two hours, Lu Xuan suddenly stopped.

"What is it, Your Highness?"

Su Qinghuan asked.

"It's been so quiet along the way."

Lu Xuan looked around and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Su Qinghuan also realized what was happening.

"It's definitely a bit too quiet!"

"Logically speaking, there should be quite a few low-level monsters in this area."

"But we've walked for so long and haven't even seen a single demon beast."

"I didn't even hear any birds chirping."

Lu Xuan's divine sense spread out instantly.

However, they discovered that there was absolutely no sign of life within a ten-mile radius!

It was as if all living things had vanished overnight.

"Something unusual must be going on."

A glint of light flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.

"It seems that something has indeed happened in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains."

Just then, the Primordial Pearl inside his body suddenly began to tremble violently!

However, it pointed in one direction.

"That direction..."

Lu Xuan looked up and saw that the fog there seemed to be thicker than elsewhere, and even faintly emitted a strange red light.

"Let's go! Let's take a look!"

He swayed and sped off ahead.

Although Su Qinghuan was somewhat worried, she followed suit.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Hua Wuying, along with the disciples of the Hehuan Sect, was also heading in the same direction.

"Master, something seems strange up ahead."

One of the disciples looked at the eerie red mist ahead and said hesitantly.

"That's... a sign that the ruins are being opened!"

A hint of fanaticism flashed in Hua Wuying's eyes.

"Pass down the order: speed things up!"

"We must get into the ruins before everyone else!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, everyone perked up and immediately used their movement techniques to rush towards the red mist.

……

Half an hour later.

Lu Xuan and Su Qinghuan arrived at a huge canyon.

Within the canyon, red mist lingered, its depths unfathomable.

At the entrance to the canyon, a number of martial artists had gathered.

Among them were not only independent cultivators, but also many people dressed in various sect attire.

Clearly, the Hehuan Sect was not the only one drawn to this secret realm.

"That's... a disciple of the Joyful Union Sect?"

Su Qinghuan, with her sharp eyes, spotted Zhao Wuque and Hua Wuying in the crowd at a glance.

What a small world! We've run into each other so soon.

Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from the depths of the canyon!

"Boom!"

The earth trembled violently, and red mist churned.

Immediately afterwards, a huge gate of light slowly appeared in the sky above the canyon.

The gate was covered with runes and exuded a chilling aura.

"The ruins have been opened!"

A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.

"Charge!"

Countless martial artists surged towards the gate of light like a swarm of locusts crossing a river.

"Let's go too!"

Hua Wuying shouted loudly and led the Hehuan Sect members to follow closely behind.

Lu Xuan and Su Qinghuan exchanged a glance, even though they still didn't understand what was going on.

But what they saw before them... was clearly a sign that some kind of secret realm was opening. Without hesitation, the two of them rushed through the crowd.

However, just as the two stepped into the portal,

A terrifying spatial storm erupted!

"Um!"

Lu Xuan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if he had been swept into a huge vortex.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar space.

The surrounding sky was gray, the land was desolate, and dilapidated palaces stood in rows.

Lu Xuan stood up and looked around, but did not see Su Qinghuan.

"Were we teleported apart?"

He frowned slightly.

Just then, a series of noisy footsteps came from not far away.

A group of people are walking this way.

The leader was none other than Zhao Wuque, who had been taught a lesson by Lu Xuan earlier.

Behind him followed several disciples of the Hehuan Sect.
