The Ancestral Land Can Only Be Opened When the Three Seals Are Gathered

Through the mist.

A valley came into view of Chen Changqing and his companions.

"Senior Brother Chen, deep within the valley lies the Three Clans Ancestral Land."

Ran Hua reminded her.

Chen Changqing nodded and was about to step forward when a cold shout suddenly came from not far away:

"Who?"

Immediately following, a dozen or so whooshing sounds echoed through the air.

Then, a dozen or so people dressed in the Li Family attire landed and blocked Chen Changqing and his companions' path.

The newcomers weren't particularly strong; the most powerful among them was only at the Foundation Establishment, while the rest were at the Qi Refining stage.

Chen Changqing remained calm upon seeing this.

At this moment, the leading Li Family guard recognized Ran Hua.

"It's Ran Hua, the young patriarch of the Ran Family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen people drew their weapons and gathered their inner True Qi.

Everyone knew that Ran Hua's appearance at the Three Clans Ancestral Land at this time meant he had no good intentions.

"So noisy!"

Chen Changqing spoke in a cold voice, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Upon hearing this, the leading Li Family guard glanced coldly and shouted sharply:

"Court death!"

"Kill them!"

At a single command, dozens of men charged out in unison.

Chen Changqing's gaze was icy; he was too lazy to waste words with these people, Shadow-Bearing Sword was suddenly drawn.

"Clang!"

A sword's cry echoed through the air.

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

The Sword Light like lightning, and blood splattered everywhere.

Before the dozen or so disciples of the Li Family could react, they were already decapitated by the Sword-Ray.

When Wang Yang and the other two saw this, their hearts trembled.

"Changqing Brother Changqing, isn't this too bloodthirsty?"

Wang Yang sighed quietly.

This trip allowed me to truly witness Chen Changqing's ruthless and decisive nature.

At the same time, as more than a dozen members of the Li Family were killed, a system notification sounded in Chen Changqing's mind:

[Bite!]

[Host detected killing a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, AFK Points +15.]

[Bite!]

[Host detected killing a Qi Refining Cultivator, AFK Points +9.]

[...]

Upon hearing the system notification, a smile flickered across Chen Changqing's lips as he secretly sighed:

"The AFK Points gained from killing Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining Cultivator are indeed a bit low."

Previously, inside the Li Family mansion, he killed four Core Formation Cultivators, including Li You.

Each one gave him hundreds of AFK Points.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Changqing came to his senses, glanced at Ran Hua and the other two, and then took the lead and walked into the depths of the valley.

Along the way, they encountered further obstruction from the Li Family.

Without saying a word, Chen Changqing drew his sword and killed.

With the strength of the Li Family, no one could stop Chen Changqing.

And so, Chen Changqing led Wang Yang and the other two, stepping over the blood and gore of corpses, to the Three Clans Ancestral Land.

The interior of this Ancestral Land is gloomy and eerie.

What came into view was a wide-open space.

At this moment, many people were kneeling on the open ground.

These people were all from the Ran Family and Li Families, and they were all bound by chains.

They were all listless and dispirited.

Many of the people bore numerous wounds, clearly indicating that they had suffered torture at the hands of the Li Family.

"Father!!"

Ran Hua's gaze sharpened and settled on a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was pale and covered in wounds; he was none other than Ran Hua's father, Ran Zhenbang, the current patriarch of the Ran Family!

They saw Ran Zhenbang kneeling on the ground, severely injured.

Ran Hua's eyes instantly turned red, and she couldn't help but want to rush out, but Chen Changqing held her down.

"Junior Brother Ran."

Don't be impulsive, now is not the time.

Chen Changqing said with a solemn expression, noticing an old man standing with his hands behind his back in front of the open space.

The old man was thin and wore a long blue robe, emanating a terrifying aura.

He was actually a Golden Core Cultivator!

"The existence of the Golden Core Realm."

Wang Yang also sensed the old man's aura, and a look of worry and solemnity immediately appeared on his face.

Although Chen Changqing had easily killed four Core Formation Realm Cultivator from the Li Family at the Li Mansion earlier.

The Grand Elder, Li You, was even at the Late Core Formation Stage realm.

But the old man before them was Golden Core Realm.

After hearing Chen Changqing's words, Ran Hua gritted her teeth and clenched her hands involuntarily.

He knew in his heart that he couldn't rush things at this time, so he could only suppress his hatred.

And so, Chen Changqing and his three companions hid in the shadows, waiting for their chance.

At the same time, the old man in the Three Clans Ancestral Land was staring intently at a stone gate in front of him.

Many ancient runes were engraved on the stone gate, with streaks of purple light flowing around them, making it extremely mysterious!

As he watched, the old man's eyes twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but roar:

"Hateful!"

"The old man died without leaving behind his legacy."

"Today, I'll see what exactly is hidden within this Return to Ruins Land!"

The old man was none other than Li Ran, the patriarch of the Li Family and the current patriarch of the Li Family.

As he roared, Li Ran turned around and glanced at Ran Zhenbang and the others who were kneeling on the ground.

"Hand over the mark."

"Otherwise, die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura emanated from Li Ran, instantly enveloping Ran Zhenbang and the others.

Under the pressure of his Golden Core, everyone from the Ran Family and Tang Family showed signs of pain.

"Why..."

At this moment, a middle-aged man kneeling on the ground couldn't help but sigh, then looked at Li Ran:

"Patriarch Li Family, I can hand over the mark of my Tang Family."

"But you have to promise not to harm anyone from my Tang Family."

Li Ran a cold laugh and replied:

"Please rest assured, Patriarch Tang Family."

"I only want the mark on your hand, not the lives of anyone from the Tang Family."

The middle-aged man nodded, feeling utterly helpless.

He was Tang Ye, the patriarch of the Tang Family.

Unexpectedly, Li Ran broke through to the Golden Core Realm before him and Ran Zhenbang.

Moreover, as soon as they made this breakthrough, the Li Family couldn't wait to target the Ran Family and Tang Family.

As for their purpose, it was naturally the Ancestral Land marks held by both families.

Only by collecting the marks of the three clans can the gates of the Ancestral Land be opened.

Even though he was unwilling, Tang Ye had no choice.

Li Ran is now a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, far beyond their capabilities.

After a moment's thought, a resolute glint flashed in Tang Ye's eyes.

The next moment, he raised his hand with some difficulty, and a blood-red mark appeared on his palm. He then threw it at Li Ran.

With a light wave of his hand, Li Ran caught the mark that Tang Ye had thrown at him.

"At least you know how to seize the moment!"

After saying this lightly, Li Ran didn't hesitate. With a casual wave of his hand, he imprinted the blood-red mark onto the stone gate not far away.

At this moment, two marks lit up in the center of the stone gate.

Only one mark remained, appearing dull and colorless.

After imprinting the Tang Family's mark onto the stone gate, Li Ran withdrew his gaze and then looked at Ran Zhenbang:

"Master Ran Family, it's your turn!"

Upon hearing what Li Ran said, Ran Zhenbang raised his head high, his pride unwavering, and declared:

"Li Ran!"

"I will not hand over the Ran Family Mark."

"Even if it means death, I won't hand it over!!"

When he said this, Ran Zhenbang appeared resigned to his fate.
