Chapter 210 The ruins are about to open
Although they need to rest, the monks' rest is naturally spent in meditation and practice. Especially now they are in the wild, not in an inn in a city. Without the protection of defensive formations, the monks will naturally remain vigilant when practicing and will not devote themselves to practice wholeheartedly.
Late at night, Zeng Wenyu, who was meditating in the tent, heard footsteps alertly. The footsteps were not light, and the other party had no intention of covering up his footsteps.
Zeng Wenyu did not move. He still maintained his meditation posture, quietly listening to the footsteps passing in front of his tent and moving towards the right side of his tent.
The footsteps disappeared, and then Zeng Wenyu heard a muffled groan coming from the right, along with a low-pitched curse. Zeng Wenyu was sure that the voice was made by Longtan, who had a silly smile on his face during the day.
Since the tents were close to each other, Zeng Wenyu could hear clearly what Longtan was cursing. He was cursing the monk for being ungrateful and actually thinking about how to divide the things in the tomb. He was not worried about being heard by others and directly stated that all the gains in their small alliance belonged to him, Longtan.
Not long after, the muffled groaning sound in the tent disappeared, and Longtan's footsteps were heard again, and then gradually faded away.
Zeng Wenyu gently tapped Xiaoxue in his arms, took Xiaoxue out of his arms, held her up and whispered a few words. Seeing Xiaoxue nodded, he put Xiaoxue on the ground, and Xiaoxue crawled out through the gap in the tent.
An unknown amount of time had passed before Zeng Wenyu heard footsteps again, followed by the sounds of dismantling and installing the tent next to him. When the sounds disappeared, Zeng Wenyu heard the footsteps gradually fading away and disappearing completely.
After a while, Xiaoxue came in from the crack of the tent: "He killed the monk next to him and buried the body in a forest far away. He replaced the tent next to him with a new one. I also went to other tents to check. The other monks seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. They had no idea what was happening here."
After Xiaoxue finished speaking, she snuggled back into Zeng Wenyu's arms to rest. Zeng Wenyu then understood why Longtan dared to be so unscrupulous. The spiritual energy he left in the bodies of the casual cultivators could affect all the cultivators to a certain extent. Just falling into a deep sleep was not a big deal. If the spiritual energy was really blocked when taking action, he would be seriously injured at best, or even explode and die!
This method was not particularly powerful, but it was a very clever way to conceal the spiritual energy. Although Longtan's spiritual energy was so conspicuous, it could not be discovered and was hidden after entering the bodies of the monks. The means of the Steel Body Sect were extraordinary. Zeng Wenyu even felt that this sect was definitely not the "small sect" that Longtan mentioned.
Early the next morning, the monks in the camp finished their practice early. They didn't seem to notice that a monk was missing. Zeng Wenyu didn't say anything and followed everyone to the center of the camp. Longtan smiled silly again and told everyone that they could get ready to set off.
The monks' belongings were all in their storage rings. When everyone arrived at the core area, the tents there had already been packed up. The tents of those big forces were all gone, and it seemed that they had left earlier than them.
More than fifty cultivators in the early stage of the Infant Realm advanced in a mighty force, and the rest of the independent cultivators who had not yet reached the Infant Realm followed behind. They also knew that at most they could only get some soup, and none of them dared to surpass Zeng Wenyu and his team.
After walking forward for a distance, a huge relic appeared in front of everyone. The sky was full of cultivators from various forces. They did not stop the independent cultivators from coming over. In their eyes, the independent cultivators were pioneers who explored the way and were not even cannon fodder.
Everyone waited here for a while, and the ground suddenly began to shake. The barrier surrounding the ruins began to fade, gradually becoming transparent, and finally suddenly burst like a soap bubble.
The powerful forces in the sky did not move, and the cultivators like Zeng Wenyu below did not move either. For a moment, everyone seemed to have lost all worldly desires and no longer be greedy or robbing.
But as time went by, some of the independent cultivators were already getting restless, and then suddenly several people rushed out from this group and rushed towards the ruins.
No one stopped them, not even the monks from the big forces above. They just looked at the monks rushing forward as if they were idiots.
The speed of the monks was very fast. After they rushed out, another group of monks also rushed out at the same time, as if they were afraid of being overtaken by the monks in front of them, as if they would lose a lot of gains if they were a step slower. Unfortunately, they underestimated the ruins. Even if the barrier had disappeared, they could not enter without permission.
"what!!!"
As screams continued to come out from the mouths of the monks who rushed over, broken limbs and arms kept flying in the air, and a large amount of blood splattered in the air. The few monks who rushed over early had turned into a few puffs of blood mist.
Looking at the situation ahead, the independent cultivators standing in place began to be thankful that they did not rush over.
"How stupid," a man's voice came from the sky. He looked at the casual cultivators standing on the ground with contempt, "Do you really think there are no protective mechanisms or formations behind the barrier?"
After hearing the man's words, the wandering cultivators below became a little agitated. If the man was not in the air and had not been protected by a large number of cultivators, the wandering cultivators would have been able to kill the man with just a spell.
"Who is that? Has anyone heard of him?" a monk asked in a low voice below.
A cultivator who knew the man whispered to everyone, "Hush... He is the son of the leader of Haimen Sect, named Zhang Wei. Let him say a few words. Haimen Sect is a large sect, we can't afford to offend him."
"Is that Zhang Wei, who harms countless female monks every year? The one who talks about true love every day, but ends up abandoning every girl he catches?"
"Yes, it's him. I heard that he was recently engaged to the daughter of the Hua Sect leader. I don't know what the Hua Sect leader was thinking to let his daughter get engaged to such a man."
"Hush... Keep your voice down. We, the independent cultivators, shouldn't talk too much about the affairs between the big sects, or we won't know how we died."
"That's right. I heard that Zhang Wei is very narrow-minded... He looked over here. He wouldn't have heard it, right?"
"You're done. You better be careful. I advise you not to enter the ruins. Be careful not to run into him and his men will kill you."
"Bah! I think you just have bad intentions. You want to get less if there's one less person, right?"
