Tit for Tat, the Ancient City Maze

There were seven people in total.

The group consisted of four men and three women, all of whom were exceptionally good-looking and possessed an ethereal quality.

They chatted and laughed all the way, showing interest only in the dilapidated buildings around them, and paying little attention to Chen Ning and his companions.

Only upon seeing Luo Wuming did the leading man in black robes smile and say, "So you're a friend of the Grand One God Clan. I've heard you're invincible and unmatched among your peers?"

Luo Wuming was defeated by Chen Ning not long ago.

So.

These words sounded particularly harsh to Luo Wuming, who coldly replied, "We've taken this place. You'd better find somewhere else!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of being invincible among his peers, so domineering! I, Zhou Heng, am not buying into that."

The man in black chuckled softly, his aura radiating outwards.

He was also at the Late-Stage Great Saint realm.

His cultivation level is comparable to Luo Wuming's.

As his aura erupted, his clansmen who followed him also revealed their own auras.

Powerful auras surged into the sky.

"Now, this is our base. If you don't want to be wiped out here, get out of here right now!"

Zhou Heng laughed loudly.

The strongest member of the Grand One God Clan was Luo Wuming. Apart from him, the rest of them were all at the Great Saint Middle Stage realm. In fact, he discovered that the person with the weakest aura was only at the Late-Stage Saint realm.

They are at a disadvantage in terms of both strength and numbers.

Upon seeing this scene...

Luo Wuxia then explained to Chen Ning, "The other party is from the Wind God Clan. That guy named Zhou Heng is considered the second most important figure among the younger generation of the clan. The Wind God Clan has eight slots to enter the Heaven of Profound Understanding, and there are only seven right now. The strongest one hasn't shown up yet."

"Eight people?"

Chen Ning shook his head. It seems that the Wind God Clan is still ranked among the top among the many God Clan.

If we divide the God Clan into several tiers.

So.

The first tier consists of the Eight Great God Clans, with the Darkness God Clan being one of them.

The Wind God Clan is in the second tier.

The Grand One God Clan is in the third tier.

Certainly.

In terms of strength, the Grand One God Clan is considered the leader of the third tier.

At this time.

Zhou Heng and the others were clearly not only targeting Luo Wuming, but the entire Grand One God Clan. At this moment, Chen Ning, Luo Qingcheng, and Luo Wuxia naturally had no choice but to take action.

Just when the atmosphere was tense...

A calm voice rang out.

"Stop it, all of you."

Upon hearing this...

Zhou Heng of the Wind God Clan's expression changed, but he also concealed his aura and looked at the newcomer.

All I saw was...

A man dressed in a light blue Daoist robe walked slowly towards them.

Include him.

The eight members of the Wind God Clan who entered Heaven of Profound Understanding this time have now all arrived.

The man in the azure Daoist robe looked at Zhou Heng and said displeasedly, "There are countless fortuitous opportunity in the Heaven of Profound Understanding. Instead of seeking fortuitous opportunity, you act impulsively here. What kind of behavior is that?"

"My cousin is right."

Zhou Heng lowered his head and said.

The man's gaze swept indifferently over Luo Wuming and Chen Ning, and he said, "Everyone, I apologize on behalf of my clansmen for what happened earlier."

Luo Wuxia whispered to Chen Ning, "This person is named Zhou Ya, a descendant of the Wind God Clan, and like you, he possesses Divine Meridians!"

Chen Ning nodded almost imperceptibly, then looked at the person opposite him and said, "It's alright, we didn't want to start a killing spree as soon as we came in."

This statement has a hidden meaning.

Zhou Heng, dressed in black robes, immediately sneered disdainfully, "You've gone on a killing spree? What arrogance! If it weren't for Brother Zhou Ya's arrival, the four of you would already be four corpses..."

"Stop talking."

Zhou Ya spoke indifferently, then smiled at Chen Ning and said, "It's fate that we've met. Since we've both come here, why don't we explore this ancient city together?"

"Let's separate. We're rather xenophobic."

Chen Ning laughed heartily.

Zhou Ya was taken aback at first, not expecting the other party to be so straightforward, and then said, "Very well then, I'll take my leave."

After saying that.

Zhou Ya turned and walked deeper into the ancient city.

The rest of the Wind God Clan members followed.

As Zhou Heng was leaving, he gave Luo Wuming and Chen Ning a defiant glare.

Chen Ning remained noncommittal. This Zhou Heng was nothing to worry about; the one truly worth paying attention to was Zhou Ya, the successor of the Wind God Clan.

This person is very shrewd.

To become a successor, one must indeed be no ordinary person.

Not long after.

The eight-member Wind God Clan team continued their exploration of this dilapidated ancient city.

Zhou Ya walked at the very front.

Behind them, Zhou Heng's somewhat puzzled voice rang out. "Brother, why did we bow down to them just now?"

"You are no match for the fortuitous opportunity Luo Wuming obtained in Heaven of Profound Understanding. Besides, the real headache is Luo Wuxia."

Zhou Ya spoke calmly. The reason he knew so much was because he had been a participant in the last Heaven of Profound Understanding.

Even so, Luo Wuxia is no match for my cousin!

Zhou Heng still couldn't understand it.

Zhou Ya shook his head and smiled, "If it were just the two of them, they wouldn't be difficult to deal with, but there's one strange thing about them."

"Strangeness?"

"Among the four slots for the Grand One God Clan this time, one person is quite unexpected. That person's cultivation is only at the Late-Stage Saint, yet they were able to obtain the qualification to enter the Heaven of Profound Understanding. Isn't that strange?"

"Perhaps it was just good luck, or perhaps the Grand One God Clan has a severe shortage of younger generations, with no powerful successors besides a few divine sons, which allowed that person to slip through the cracks."

"Haven't you seen it clearly yet?"

Zhou Ya was rather helpless, helpless that his comrade was so foolish. He patiently explained, "Since I arrived, it has been that person who has been talking to me. With Luo Wuming's arrogance, if he were not as good as him, why would he be willing to be a mere supporting character?"

A single word awakens one from a dream.

At this time.

The younger generation of the Wind God Clan, including Zhou Heng, held Zhou Ya in even higher esteem.

That person from the Grand One God Clan is somewhat mysterious. Even if he could defeat him, he shouldn't have started a major conflict at this time. After all, everyone who comes to Heaven of Profound Understanding is here for fortuitous opportunity and inheritance!

After Zhou Ya finished explaining, the group continued forward.

Half an hour later.

When Zhou Ya met Chen Ning and the others again, both of them looked somewhat confused.

Then.

Zhou Ya frowned. "We're trapped!"

"Trapped?"

Among the Wind God Clan, a female cultivator with light blue hair spoke with a puzzled expression.

Zhou Ya explained, "We've already traveled so far, and we've been going in a straight line, we should never have encountered the Grand One God Clan again, but now, we've met them again."

To confirm his conclusion, Chen Ning nodded and said, "We also found ourselves back here after traveling some distance."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ya laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, it seems this ancient city wants us to travel together!"

"Although I don't particularly like your Wind God Clan, whatever makes you happy."

Chen Ning also smiled broadly.

They all knew that such a strange occurrence meant there must be something odd about this place.

Perhaps, fortuitous opportunity will arise!
