Wu Qi didn't sit idly by and wait for his death. He whispered to Huo Wu, "Use your Fourth Soul Skill to push those three forward and create an opportunity for Xiaotian to kill them."

Huo Wu hesitated, "This place is too small; the flames might hurt our own people!"

Her flames, enhanced by the Immortal Herb, are not to be underestimated.

Such a narrow passage, with its turbulent air currents, could easily burn everyone.

But now, they have no choice; continuing this stalemate would be very disadvantageous for them.

Moreover, once trapped in the passage, they would be nothing more than lambs to the slaughter when faced with external attacks.

"Trust the Team Captain."

Chen Ping said seriously, while activating his Martial Soul and assuming a defensive stance.

Huo Wu no longer hesitated, and her Third Soul Ring suddenly lit up.

The instant the Repulsion Fire Ring was generated, a powerful shockwave burned three opponents and hurtled towards them at incredible speed.

"Third Soul Skill, Mystic Defense."

Under Chen Ping's control, the Tortoiseshell landed on Feng Xiaotian and "filled" the entire passage, resisting the erosion of the flame waves.

The airflow was blocked and instantly reversed, severely injuring the three opponents once again.

Feng Xiaotian didn't linger. He took out a sharp dagger from his Soul Tool, rushed forward, and ended the lives of the three men. He then stored the corpses in his Soul Tool to prevent them from obstructing his path.

Chen Ping wiped the sweat from his forehead, panting heavily, "The impact was so strong, I almost couldn't withstand it."

Wu Qi dared not be careless.

The passageway is similar to a tunnel. Huo Wu's Flame Explosion is like a bomb. The resulting shockwave is blocked at one end and will inevitably burst out from the other end.

The resulting blast wave could potentially cause quite a commotion.

Once it is discovered by the outside world, a large number of people will inevitably flock to it.

Wu Qi urged, "The direction from which the shockwave is heading is the exit. Quick, get up there!"

The speed of air currents can be much faster than that of two legs.

Suddenly, the two sides facing off heard a loud explosion, and a shockwave erupted from the Ruins, spewing out terrifying tongues of fire!

Bokov's face darkened. "Ha, I didn't expect you to send someone in first!"

"You want to stall us here and let your people steal the treasure?"

Zhou Congping found it strange. None of the people he sent out were Fire Attribute Soul Master, and the Soul Tool guarding this place had malfunctioned. Even if there were traps inside, they wouldn't have caused such a commotion.

Suddenly, he realized something.

The other side likely also sent people to infiltrate the Ruins during the previous battle.

Nobody's clean, so nobody should accuse anyone else.

But could Bokov not know whether or not someone had been sent?

To prevent the treasure from being seized by the New Mountain Sect, he led his men in a fierce battle, and the two sides were once again locked in combat.

Unwittingly, this bought Wu Qi and the others some time.

Leaving the passage, the group arrived at the original entrance.

Noticing the fighting outside, Wu Qi said urgently, "Search the area; there must be some traps covering the real passage."

"Everyone, keep it down."

Before he could finish speaking, Qiangu Changkong noticed an unusual crack in the wall beside him.

He reached out and gently pushed, and the wall opened, revealing a straight passageway.

"Wow, there really is one!" Huo Wushuang exclaimed in surprise.

To prevent any traps from being hidden, Chen Ping activated his Soul Skill to completely cover himself and walked at the front to scout the way for the others.

"Who would have thought that the actual location of the ruins was behind the wall at the entrance?" Sun Buyu shook his head bitterly.

Fortunately, Wu Qi was quick-witted; otherwise, he would never have found the treasure if he had kept wandering around in the lower passage.

Moreover, the deeper they delve, the more they will succumb, eventually becoming lost in it.

Along the way, the group did not encounter any traps or obstacles; at the end of the passage was a secret room.

The stone door was ajar, and a faint light emanated from within.

Pushing open the stone door, everything inside is laid out before you.

The layout of the secret room was very simple, with a skeletonized corpse sitting in the middle.

The ever-burning Everlasting Lamp in front of him brought a faint light to the secret room.

On the skeletal finger lay a shattered ring, surrounded by a large amount of rusty gold and silver treasures, as well as carbonized black ash that was indistinguishable from its original form.

The surrounding walls were bare, without any objects, and it was not immediately apparent whether there were any mechanisms or traps.

Seeing this, everyone refocused their attention on the skeletal corpse.

It's clear that the Master of this secret room must have been a top-tier expert in the Spirit Master world during his lifetime.

Its skeleton still exudes a trace of power.

Wu Qi noticed that there were faint fluctuations of Soul Power in six parts of the corpse.

"Soul Bone!"

Joy was evident on everyone's faces.

"The six Soul Bone on a top-tier expert must be quite old. We've struck it rich!" Sun Buyu excitedly.

The physical body had long since decayed, and the Soul Bone attached to different parts of the body could be easily peeled off.

Among them, the Soul Bone in the head emits the strongest Soul Power fluctuations.

Wu Qi knew that the age of this Soul Bone must be beyond imagination.

At this moment, there was no time to distribute them, so they were all handed over to Wu Qi to be stored in his Soul Tool, to be distributed later when they returned.

As for the gold and silver on the ground, no one had any interest in them.

Just as he was about to leave, Qiangu Changkong stopped in his tracks. "As a top-tier expert, isn't having only treasures a bit too little?"

Admittedly, the original Master's Soul Tool was broken, causing its contents to scatter all over the ground and be corroded by time.

But with only this much wealth, is it worthy of their own capabilities?

Qiangu Changkong knew that the number of treasures in his grandfather's Soul Tool was unimaginable.

So, who was even stronger than his grandfather?

"Greed knows no bounds! We've come all this way without any obstacles and obtained six Soul Bone without any surprises. Don't you understand?" Wu Qi retorted.

Any powerful person knows that after their death, the Soul Tool supporting their dwelling will eventually fail.

If someone comes looking for the treasure in the future, they will disturb his peace even after his death!

Most powerful individuals would voluntarily "offer" some treasures to let treasure hunters leave in order to ensure peace.

If one becomes even more greedy, one might end up being buried alive with the enemy.

Sun Buyu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, we mustn't be greedy. Perhaps there really is some kind of mechanism on this wall, or perhaps there's treasure hidden inside."

"But once you reach out, there's no guarantee you won't face retaliation from the Master of the Ruins."

What's the point of taking things you don't live to enjoy?

The group was not blinded by the treasure.

Following Wu Qi's suggestion, everyone entered the Ruyi Treasure Pouch once again, and Wu Qi led them to evacuate.

Wu Qi covered his face with a black cloth and, as soon as he stepped out of the gate of the Ruins, he noticed the gazes cast upon him from all around.

After their previous conflict, the New Mountain Sect and the Royal Army calmed down once again and began negotiations.

Now that Wu Qi has emerged, both sides can guess that the treasure is on him.

"Hand over the items!" Zhou Congping shouted sternly.

Wu Qi shook his head, and the Soul Bone Wings appeared behind him as he soared into the air.

He had already obtained the treasure and had no intention of keeping it.
