On the rushing journey.

Xu Qingxiao's expression was extraordinarily resolute.

To resolve the scourge of unorthodox arts, Xu Qingxiao was willing to pay any price.

Unorthodox arts were a blade hanging over his head, ready to fall at any moment.

To put it bluntly, he did not even know when he might die. It was a thorn in his heart.

If he could eradicate it, Xu Qingxiao would naturally spare no expense.

"Young friend, let me tell you, then."

"The place where you found me was indeed not the Martial Emperor's Ruins. It was merely a false ruin meant to deceive the world."

"As for the true ruins, all I know is that they exist. I don't know where they are, much less anything else."

The Pill Deity Ancient Scripture answered, revealing the truth.

"Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Xu Qingxiao frowned. He rode a flying horse, racing through the heavens, his tone tinged with blame.

But hearing this, the Pill Deity Ancient Scripture felt rather wronged.

"Young friend, it's not that I look down on you. Think about it yourself. What realm were you in then? You were only ninth rank."

"At the ninth rank of the martial dao, any martial cultivator could have killed you ten times over. In that situation, could I tell you the truth?"

"If I had told you the truth, what could you have done? Gone back to keep hunting for treasure? Were you qualified to hunt for it? What could you have relied on?"

The Pill Deity Ancient Scripture sounded rather exasperated.

It was not that he looked down on Xu Qingxiao, but Xu Qingxiao had been just that: a ninth-rank martial cultivator. What right did he have to contend for the true Martial Emperor's Legacy Treasure? What could he contend with?
