“Shenmu Dao Sect, Shi Yu'er.” The woman met his gaze with a calm expression.
“So you are a Daoist friend from the Shenmu Dao Sect, as famous as the Tianqin Sect.”
Cold-Face Immortal was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect to encounter people from the two major forces of Iron Profound Star here at the same time, and there were so many of them.
But now that he was here, with the treasure right in front of him, there was no way he would back down.
So he sneered, “Do you think that with your four's strength, you can drive us away?”
“How would we know without trying?” The burly man also stepped forward, his body crackling as if he didn't fear the higher cultivation level of the person opposite him.
Cold-Face Immortal frowned. Although he was confident in killing any one of them, there were four of them. Even if two of them had lower cultivation levels than him, combat strength at the same realm depended on techniques and treasures.
And they seemed to have significant backgrounds, especially that burly man, who was very troublesome.
“I can only hold back that Shi Yu'er.” Beside him, Madam Ba Qing transmitted her voice with a solemn expression.
Cold-Face Immortal suddenly smiled, “I admit, the combined strength of you all might be stronger than us two, but…”
At this point, he looked around, “I don't think you can keep us here either, and this ruin is not just for us. Maybe after being driven away by you, I'll invite another group of fellow Daoists to come.”
This was a blatant threat.
The four of them changed their expressions upon hearing this. This was indeed what they were most worried about. Song Shu said, “From what you're saying, it seems there's more to it.”
“That's right.”
Cold-Face Immortal said, “There have long been rumors that this Barbarian Clan ruin hides the treasures left behind by the Barbarian Clan, which once attracted a group of cultivators to search for them.”
“Until the Iron Profound Great Immortal came, they found nothing, and the heat gradually faded.”
“We already know this, don't beat around the bush.” The burly man couldn't stand it anymore.
Interrupted, Cold-Face Immortal's tone still didn't show any anger, “I just want to say, if the treasures left behind by this Barbarian Clan really exist, you can't swallow them.”
“So you still want a share?” The burly man sneered.
“That's natural, otherwise you'll just have to find a way to get rid of us.” Cold-Face Immortal's tone also turned cold, his icy gaze looking at the burly man.
The burly man immediately felt like he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and his back felt a little cold.
In the dark, Lu Xin was a little impatient. These people weren't fighting or entering, they were really dragging things out. Just as he was about to do something, he suddenly noticed a fluctuation.
He quickly looked towards the source of the fluctuation and immediately discovered something unusual underground not far to the right. There was a ball of earthy yellow light merging with the soil.
If he hadn't cultivated the 《Wood Stone Stealth》 and become extremely sensitive to the changes in the nearby soil, he really wouldn't have noticed it.
“Who could it be?”
He was surprised in his heart. Because he was afraid of being discovered, he didn't dare to investigate too much and couldn't see through the yellow light.
“It's getting more and more lively.”
Lu Xin hid even more carefully. Just now, he wanted to bypass these people to see if there was anything special about the stone path and whether his 《Wood Stone Stealth》 could pass through it.
But the woman named Shi Yu'er didn't know what technique she cultivated, but her perception was very sharp.
Although he had the Stealth passive, any movement, especially when he was too close, would cause fluctuations.
And now there was another oriole, so he had to temporarily give up this idea.
At this time, the two groups were confronting each other, neither giving way.
“No matter what, we were the first to find this place. You want to pick the ready-made fruit as soon as you come, it's simply wishful thinking!”
Perhaps feeling ashamed for being frightened earlier, the burly man was unusually tough.
Madam Ba Qing sneered, “Treasures naturally belong to those who are virtuous, and besides, the treasure hasn't appeared yet, so how can it be considered yours?”
The burly man was speechless. The so-called “virtue” still depended on strength, and they obviously didn't have the strength to monopolize it.
“What do you think?”
Cold-Face Immortal looked at Song Shu, who frowned and didn't speak. He continued:
“How about this, you were indeed the first to discover this place. As compensation, you can choose first after finding the treasure.”
“You would be so kind?” Shi Yu'er obviously didn't believe it.
Cold-Face Immortal looked at her and asked, “What, don't you have the confidence to keep this promise?”
Shi Yu'er frowned and transmitted her voice to the three, “What are your thoughts?”
Song Shu said, “Outside, although we are stronger than them, if they are determined to leave, we can't keep them here. Inside, there might be a chance.”
“Moreover, what's on the other side of the teleportation array is still unknown. If we attack now, it might attract more people.”
He told his thoughts all at once.
“Then let's go in with them for now, just be careful.” The burly man said.
Soon, the four reached an agreement.
Song Shu said, “You can come in if you want, but remember your promise.”
“Of course!” Cold-Face Immortal agreed without hesitation. No matter what, he had to go in first. He was very confident in his strength.
Thus, the two groups warily stepped into the stone path.
Then the soil rolled, and the entrance was immediately hidden, turning into flat ground, indistinguishable from the surroundings.
“Finally went in, he should act too, right?”
Seeing that there was no movement, Lu Xin turned his gaze to the ball of yellow light. Sure enough, after a moment, the ball of yellow light flowed like water towards the hidden entrance.
Then it surged upwards, turning into a mud figure, and finally transforming into an old man with white eyebrows and a bald head.
“White-Eyebrow Tuo, it's actually him.”
Seeing this person, Lu Xin was surprised again. He didn't expect Iron Profound Star to be so small, that he would encounter acquaintances in such a short time.
“Hehe, it seems he secretly followed Cold-Face Immortal and the others, wanting to be the oriole, but unfortunately, I, the hunter, am behind him.”
Without thinking too much, because White-Eyebrow Tuo disappeared again, presumably entering the stone path.
Lu Xin didn't rush to follow, but waited for a moment before heading towards the stone path.
Stepping on the solid ground, Lu Xin was somewhat fortunate that he hadn't acted rashly just now, because this stone path was made of an unknown material, and his 《Wood Stone Stealth》 technique couldn't merge into it at all.
But thinking about it, it was normal. This place was, after all, the original Barbarian Clan's Holy Temple. If it was so easy to sneak in, that would be abnormal.
Quietly, he slowly drifted forward.
After walking for about half a day, he finally arrived at the stone chamber that Song Shu mentioned. At this time, there was no one in the stone chamber, obviously they had all been teleported away.
“It seems this formation has its own energy.”
Looking at the red light constantly flashing on the ground formation patterns, Lu Xin didn't rush to teleport, but instead surveyed the stone chamber. He found that other than the formation patterns on the ground, everything else was smooth and bare, without even a gap.
Therefore, he lost the desire to explore and focused all his attention on the formation patterns.
“Since they dare to go in, I naturally dare to as well.”
After hesitating for a long time, he decided to go in after all, but he had to make some preparations. He transformed himself, immediately turning into the appearance of Dragonflower Immortal.
Then he recalled the other party's tone and demeanor in his mind before stepping into the formation.
With a flash of light, he disappeared on the spot.
