Kicked Straight Out
As Qin Yu finished speaking, a long dragon of Heavenly Flames suddenly emerged from behind him, opened its mouth, and went straight to bite the old man.
The old man, trapped in place, could only watch helplessly as the long dragon drew ever closer, until the temperature of the Heavenly Flames nearly cracked his skin.
At the critical moment, Yao Tian and another old man arrived in time, saving the man's life.
"Elder Lin, are you alright?"
Yao Tian asked a question in a low voice, and after receiving a reply, he turned his gaze to Qin Yu.
"My friend, I belong to the Yao Clan, Yao Tian. I am determined to obtain the Turtle Spirit Earthfire. Name your terms."
"Eighth-Grade Pill, high-level cultivation techniques—I can offer them all to you in exchange, if you so desire."
Qin Yu nodded slightly, but he was only observing the opponent's specific combat strength.
Two Seven-Star Dou Zun, one Two-Star Dou Venerable...
"You do have a bit more brains than that old man, but unfortunately, I don't need them, and I don't plan to replace you, unless..."
At this point, Qin Yu paused for a moment, and a glimmer of hope instantly ignited in Yao Tian's heart, causing a slight smile to appear on his lips.
"Unless what?"
"Unless you can produce a Heaven-rank cultivation technique or Dou Technique."
Yao Tian's slightly raised lips instantly vanished, and a hint of coldness crept into his words:
"Can I take this as... you're playing me?!"
The Yao Clan certainly had its share of Heavenly Rank Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills.
However, Yao Tian didn't have the authority to use his clan's Heaven-Rank Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills to exchange for Heavenly Flames with Qin Yu.
Even if he had one, he wouldn't change it.
The Turtle Spirit Earthfire is ranked thirteenth among the Heavenly Flames Heavenly Flames, not the third!
Trading a Heavenly Rank Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills for the Turtle Spirit Earthfire —if word got out, the other ancient families would laugh their heads off!
Hey, you're not stupid.
Yao Tian's mouth stopped crooked, but Qin Yu's mouth started to crooked.
With a flick of his right hand, the Turtle Spirit Earthfire that had been resting on his shoulder burst forth, causing his body to swell dramatically and return to its previous size.
Not only that, the Turtle Spirit Earthfire also let out a threatening growl at the three people opposite it.
Seeing this, Yao Tian felt a pang of sadness, and it seemed like there was something green on his head.
My Turtle Spirit Earthfire!
How can you be so obedient, fawning over that person like a domesticated turtle?!
What about your wild nature as Heavenly Flames?
What kind of drug did that person give you? It was so effective!
"Young Master, let me try with Old Lin."
Just as Yao Tian was about to have an attack, the old man beside him suddenly spoke up. The Elder Lin, who had been there earlier, had also recovered some strength.
"Yes, you two please be careful."
Qin Yu's ability to nearly kill Elder Lin is enough to demonstrate his strength.
Even with the addition of a Seven-Star Dou Zun, it's not certain they can defeat him.
Yao Tian took two steps back, and casually glanced up, her eyes meeting Qin Yu's.
The moment their eyes met, Yao Tian suddenly shuddered.
"What... is this guy trying to do?!"
Although Yao Tian had lived under the protection of the Yao Clan for a long time, he was confident that he had never misjudged this point.
Qin Yu is definitely hiding some unknown methods; those two are in danger!
"I'm not going to waste my energy on you. Goodbye."
The next second, Qin Yu casually waved his hand as if shooing away a fly.
Yao Tian and the two Dou Venerable elders felt a momentary dizziness, and when they regained their senses, they were already at the entrance of the ruins.
"He... he forcibly expelled us from the ruins?"
Elder Lin was the first to realize, could this ruin really be that young man's territory?
Otherwise, he simply couldn't understand how a Four-Star Dou Venerable could have such absolute control over the ruins space, not only forcibly imprisoning him but also directly kicking him out of the game.
He looked around and found that most of the people had also been sent out, and they were now looking bewildered and talking amongst themselves.
"Wait, how did I suddenly get out? Is there a time limit for entering these ruins?"
"Holy chouvy! I just saw a Earth Tier Dou Skills! I haven't even gotten my hands on it yet!"
"Heh, you guys are lucky. I wandered around inside like a headless fly for ages, and in the end, I didn't even see a single hair of the Turtle Spirit Earthfire before I came out."
Yao Tian tried to reach the entrance of the ruins, only to find that it had been resealed.
Furthermore, this seal is clearly much stronger than the previous ones.
"Elder Lin, Elder Mu, look..."
He summoned two elders who were accompanying him, but after examining the body, both of them shook their heads.
"Young Master, it seems there's no chance this time. Unless we return to our clan and ask an elder of at least the level of Half-Saint for help, we might not be able to forcefully break the seal here."
Elders of the Half-Saint level or above...
Yao Tian took a deep breath, forcibly calming the turmoil in his chest.
Given his status within the Yao Clan, he was able to invite Half-Saint level elder.
but...
What should he say?
A rising star of the Yao Clan, accompanied by two Seven-Star Dou Zun, not only had his Turtle Spirit Earthfire snatched away by someone else, but he was also directly kicked out of the competition?
"Very well, the clan still possesses the Nine Nether Wind Flame. Once my abilities reach the required level, isn't the Nine Nether Wind Flame stronger than this Turtle Spirit Earthfire?"
Now that things have come to this, Yao Tian can only console himself with this thought.
Turtle Spirit Earthfire is only ranked thirteenth.
Their Yao Clan also has the Nine Nether Wind Flame, ranked tenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking!
Although that thing is currently in the hands of a Dou Sheng elder, as long as my abilities meet the requirements, I will definitely be able to get my hands on it.
Yes, that's right.
It's not that I couldn't compete with others for the Turtle Spirit Earthfire; it's that I didn't want it anymore!
"Sigh, it seems there's no chance this time, Xiao Yan, let's go."
Venerable Feng and Xiao Yan were also sent out, but they didn't gain much either.
"Elder Feng, it seems Brother Qin Yu is still inside?"
Xiao Yan looked around and found that Qin Yu was nowhere to be seen.
"It seems so. He's the one who found the Turtle Spirit Earthfire."
Venerable Feng didn't sense anything unusual. He was there to search for treasure; it's not unusual for someone else to find the item first.
"So he headed deep into the ruins from the start... was he prepared all along?"
A sudden thought flashed through Xiao Yan's mind, and he seemed to have figured something out, letting out a relieved sigh.
A few months ago, his master was captured by the Hall of Souls and then killed Wang Chen, the eldest disciple of the Yellow Springs Pavilion, on its territory.
After being chased by the people of the Yellow Springs Pavilion for a long time, they finally met Venerable Feng and were taken back to the Starfall Pavilion.
This trip was rather rushed, and we didn't have time to prepare.
Qin Yu was able to pinpoint the location of the Turtle Spirit Earthfire so precisely, he must have made thorough preparations beforehand, and this thing should rightfully be his.
"Next time we receive news of Heavenly Flames, we must be fully prepared."
Qin Yu: Actually, I didn't make any preparations, no, I didn't make any preparations at all.
Finding no way to re-enter, the commotion at the entrance of the ruins lasted only a short while before people dispersed.
