Three Major Forces of the Northwest Gather! A Mysterious Sect Within the Ruins?

"I am Dan Chen of Panlong Mansion, known to the world as Dan Zun."

"In the year 103,452 of the Continental Calendar, the Hall of Souls Northwest Branch issued Panlong Mansion an ultimatum, demanding our complete surrender. Should we refuse, they would launch a full-scale invasion of Panlong Mansion."

"Panlong Mansion joined forces with the major powers of the Northwest Continent to resist, but the disparity in strength was too great."

"We do not know how much longer we can hold out. To prevent the Hall of Souls from destroying Panlong Mansion's legacy, I specially set up this formation."

"If you can break this formation, all the medicinal pills within shall belong to you."

"May Panlong Mansion's legacy never be severed!!"

"Valiant Panlong, together we march into the great war of our clan!!"

Left by Dan Chen, Dan Zun of Panlong Mansion.

"So, this formation was left behind by Dan Zun of Panlong Mansion."

Only then did Shi Hao and the other two understand.

This formation had been set up to guard against the Hall of Souls, so its grade was surely not low.

Still, they did not ask how their senior sister knew how to break formations.

Everyone had their own secrets.

"Found it, Senior."

Over on the other side.

Medusa held a bottle of medicinal pills in her hand and said happily.

An Eighth-grade Medicinal Pill, the Soul-Soothing Sacred Pill.

It could nourish and stabilize the soul. It was an exceptionally rare treasure; even a power as strong as Panlong Mansion had only this one bottle in Medusa's hands.

There were only three pills in the bottle.

Medusa placed the medicinal pills into a ring and handed it to Liu Ruyan.

Using her remaining soul power, Liu Ruyan converted all three pills. Their medicinal potency continuously nourished her soul.

"Not bad. Even this Empress's soul has become a little more solid."

She could now display the strength of a high-level Dou Zun. Previously, she could also do so at full power, but afterward, she would have to sleep for a long time before recovering.

"Junior Brothers, how is it going?"

"Have you packed up the medicinal pills? Let's go."

Having finished, Medusa walked over to Shi Hao and the others.

She saw that they had divided the medicinal pills into one large share and two smaller shares.

"Senior Sister, you're here. We discussed it. Since you broke this formation, you should take the larger share. Junior Brother Xiao Yan and I will take the rest and hand them over to the sect."

Seeing that she could not persuade the three of them, Medusa stopped urging them and silently put away the medicinal pills.

In any case, she had already decided to hand all of them over to the sect.

Shi Hao and Xiao Yan thought the same way.

Their master had shown them great kindness and even taught them peerless techniques. They had to contribute to the sect.

"Then there's nothing left here. Let's go."

After packing everything up, the three headed outside.

Elsewhere, among the forces of Demon Flame Valley.

Wang Teng had called back all the disciples from his sect.

"How was it?"

"What did you junior brothers gain?"

"Ah, Young Valley Master, we..."

"Enough. These are for you."

After hearing what his junior brothers had to say, Wang Teng took several technique manuals from his spatial ring and handed them over.

"Ah, thank you, Young Valley Master."

"But, Young Valley Master, if you give the techniques to us, what will you use?"

"Ah, anything will do for me."

With that, Wang Teng strode forward, inadvertently revealing the five technique manuals tucked at his waist.

They clearly appeared to be of no low grade.

Over here.

Shi Hao and his group emerged from the palace.

This time, it was not only them who had returned loaded with spoils. Disciples from the other factions had also found quite a few things.

This was the famed art of picking up leftovers.

Of course, whether one could pick up leftovers depended on the location. If the place was no good, it was useless no matter how one searched.

In places as good as the Technique Hall and Pill Hall, even after being thoroughly looted, there would still be something left behind.

Suddenly, cries of alarm rose everywhere!

"A Dou Zun Legacy has appeared in the east!"

"Damn! What are we waiting for? Hurry over there! If we're late, someone else will beat us to it."

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng casually grabbed a man who was sprinting past.

"What the hell is wrong with you..."

The man was about to curse, but upon seeing who stood before him, he hurriedly swallowed the words already on his lips.

After some friendly questioning, they learned the full story.

Someone had apparently been frantically spreading the word that a legacy left by a Dou Zun expert had appeared in the ruins of a palace to the east.

Everyone who received the news hurriedly rushed in that direction.

"In that case, Demon Flame Valley will take this Dou Zun expert's legacy."

Wang Teng turned and spoke to the disciples behind him.

Meanwhile, Shi Hao on the other side keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Who would discover a Dou Zun Legacy and then tell everyone about it? Especially in this secret realm, where everyone was a competitor!

It was as though someone had deliberately lured everyone over there.

"Something's wrong. This matter probably isn't simple."

Xiao Yan and Medusa noticed it as well. They were all smart people and understood immediately.

As for those disciples rushing there so eagerly, were they fools?

Could they really fail to notice it?

Of course not. It was simply that the legacy of a Dou Zun expert was too tempting!

Had they not heard that if one heard the Dao in the morning, one could die without regret by evening?

"Cowards!"

"Since you are all so timid, then I, Wang Teng, will definitely claim this Dou Zun Legacy!"

Deep within the Dou Zun Secret Realm, hundreds of disciples from various sects had already gathered outside a massive palace ruin.

Seeing everyone gathered there discussing things but none daring to enter, the newly arrived Wang Teng immediately mocked them.

"If you want to go, go yourself."

"Good kid, you dare speak like that? Aren't you afraid of dying? That's Wang Teng of Demon Flame Valley."

When they saw Wang Teng of Demon Flame Valley, everyone treated him as though he were their backbone. In a place as dangerous as a dragon's pool and tiger's den, they needed a ruthless man to take the lead.

When Shi Hao and the others arrived, they found a great many people gathered outside.

"Strange. Why aren't they going in? What are they waiting for?"

"They were each more impatient than the next on the way here, but now that it's time to act, they've gone soft?"

"Who knows? Let's find someone and ask nicely."

With that, Xiao Yan grabbed the man closest to him.

After the two had a friendly exchange, and Xiao Yan humbly sought his guidance, the man was so terrified that he wet his pants. While wiping his trousers, he explained everything in detail, and only then did they learn the reason.

"People have gone in, but no one has ever come back out?"

"This place is probably extremely dangerous!"

Shi Hao said with a slight frown.

"Hmph."

"Demon Flame Valley wants it?"

"Wang Teng, you really have quite the nerve!"

At that moment, the leaders of Heavenly Serpent Mansion and Lion Underworld Sect arrived with their people as well.

"Great, it's Heavenly Serpent Mansion and Lion Underworld Sect!"

"Now, even if this Dou Zun Legacy is a dragon's pool and tiger's den, we have to brave it."

At this point, they no longer had any thoughts of the Dou Zun Legacy. Even if it truly existed, it would not be their turn.

But their own fellow disciples were inside, so they still had to enter and see what was going on.

It would be good to satisfy their curiosity, and perhaps they might pick up some leftovers?

"Shi Yuan!"

"Mu Qing'er!"

"Wang Teng, it's only been two years, and even you have advanced to Dou Wang?"

"But with only the strength of a newly advanced Dou Wang, you dare claim that you'll swallow up a Dou Zun Legacy?"

Shi Yuan of Lion Underworld Sect stepped forward and said with a chuckle.

"Hehe."

"Whether I can swallow it up or not is none of your concern!"

"You two should worry about yourselves instead."

"Don't accidentally lose your lives in these Dou Zun Ruins!"

Wang Teng forced out a smile.

In truth, he was nearly grinding his back teeth to pieces. Those two bastards had indeed come!
