Chapter 251: Sensing Jade, Entering the Ancient Ruins

After the yin-yang fish stone door in the middle was opened, the elders stopped their true essence circulation and leaned towards the opening of the stairs.

Feeling the gentle gales, they looked at each other and revealed a faint smile.

“The enchantment has weakened. It’s time to enter the ancient ruins.”

Although the strong wind on the stairs would make people feel pain, it was not enough to hurt a cultivator.

If the strong wind barrier below had not weakened, the strong wind alone would have torn a late-stage foundation establishment cultivator to death on the spot.

However, now, just the pain was enough to prove that the strong wind barrier below had weakened greatly.

At this moment, the juniors brought by the various aristocratic families slowly approached the stairway. They stood behind the elders of their families.

Su Yi and Nie Ling also arrived behind Old Master Nie.

Old Master Nie slowly turned around and looked at Nie Ling. His eyes no longer had the usual indifferent expression. His face was full of seriousness.

He said indifferently to Nie Ling, “little girl, the entrance to the ancient ruins has already been opened. After entering, grandfather might enter the depths with those old fellows. At that time, I won’t be able to accompany you to explore.”

Seeing the seriousness of her grandfather, Nie Ling’s face was also full of seriousness. She knew that with her strength, she should not have come to these ancient ruins.

However, perhaps it was to keep up with the obsession of someone in her heart.

From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at Su Yi beside her. Then, she nodded heavily at Nie Dingtian and smiled.

“Don’t worry, grandfather. Your granddaughter isn’t a vase.”

Hearing this, grandfather Nie slowly nodded and then said to Su Yi seriously, “Su Yi, when you enter the ruins later, you might be teleported to a random place in the outer area. The first thing you do is to find the girl. The dangers in the ruins are extremely dangerous. Remember to be careful.”

As he spoke, two jade pendants appeared in Old Master Nie’s hands. He then handed them to Su Yi and Nie Ling and said lightly, “after entering the ancient ruins, the communication of the immortal destiny mark will be blocked. These two sensing jades will sense each other within 10,000 meters. The two of you take them and meet up as soon as possible.”

Hearing this, he and Nie Ling nodded. This time, Nie Dingtian spoke very seriously. Even his face, which was full of vigor, was very solemn.

They took the two sensing jade pendants that Nie Dingtian handed to them. The jade pendants were in the shape of a ring, giving off a warm and cool feeling.

In his and Nie Ling’s hands, the two jade pendants emitted a faint light, as if they were sensing each other.

In the end, the two of them put away the sensing jade pendants.

Of course, this kind of situation could happen not only to Su Yi. Among the other aristocratic families, the elders were all telling their juniors about the matters after entering the ruins.

The only exception was the two people from the Sword Pavilion. This time, they did not bring their descendants. It was because previously, Xuan Yijian, who was originally a Heaven’s Favorite, was actually frightened by Su Yi. Now, his strength had not improved at all, he was like a cripple.

This was a kind of mental illness. If they wanted to completely cure it, they had to kill the culprit.

The person who caused the shadow in Xuan Yijian’s heart was Su Yi.

At this moment, Xuan Mingzi was muttering something to his third brother, Xuan Lingzi.

Then, a ray of light appeared in Xuan Mingzi’s hand, and a jade pendant that was emitting a faint light was handed over to Xuan Lingzi.

This jade pendant was the same as the one that Old Master Nie gave to Su Yi and Nie Ling. It was a sensing jade!

After the elders of the aristocratic families finished their instructions, the elders gathered one after another, ready to take the lead and go down the stairs that were still gushing with gales.

At this moment, Wang Baocai slowly came before Su Yi, and then stuffed a small note into his hand.

He also used his eyes to tell him not to look at it now.

Immediately, Su Yi was a little puzzled. What was going on that was so mysterious? However, he resisted the urge to immediately look at the message on the note in his hand.

He put away the paper and looked at where Li Mengxi and the others were. He saw that Li Mengxi’s eldest brother, Li Zhengxuan, had returned. He seemed to be in a sorry state.

At the same time, Zhao Xuening’s eldest brother, Zhao Ritian, had also returned to their uncle’s side. His face was a little dusty and he seemed to be in a sorry state.

Meanwhile, Zhao Xuening looked at him with a hint of resentment in her eyes. Before she could say a few more words, they were going to separate again.

Zhao Xuening felt helpless, but she had no choice. As a girl, she could not just stick to Su Yi’s side and follow him.

Thus, her eyes were filled with resentment as she looked at Su Yi.

As for Su Yi, he had no choice. He had promised Nie Dingtian that he would protect Nie Ling, so he would definitely do it. Now, he could only pray that he would be able to meet her in the ancient ruins.

Very quickly, the elders from the various aristocratic families began to take the lead and walk down the stairs filled with strong winds.

“All the juniors! Quickly follow!”

Wang Baocai’s elder, Wang Ruobing, the noblewoman, shouted.

Immediately, ten or so elders’ true essence surged, forming a true essence barrier that looked like a protective barrier.

Seeing this, the juniors from the various families quickly followed.

It was obvious that these juniors had formed their own teams, and they were all familiar with each other.

Among Lu Aotian’s team, there were the Tang family and the Xu family. Each of them had five people, and they were all late-stage foundation establishment experts.

On the contrary, Su Yi’s side was weaker. Wang Baocai was at the late-stage foundation establishment realm level eight, Li Zhengxuan was at the late-stage foundation establishment realm level eight, he himself was at the late-stage foundation establishment realm level seven, and Nie Ling and Li Mengxi were both at the mid-stage foundation establishment realm.

Su Yi stepped onto the stairway that was emitting the strong wind. Even with the true essence force field opened by the elders to resist, he could still feel the terrifying pressure.

However, this kind of pressure still did not affect him. Wang Baocai and Li Zhengxuan’s expressions only slightly changed.

However, the two women were not strong enough, and their faces instantly turned pale.

“Are you alright?”

Su Yi placed a hand on Nie Ling’s shoulder, and a faint true essence spread out from his body. Then, he helped Nie Ling resist the pressure brought by the strong wind.

The latter looked at him with a faint smile and said, “I’m fine. I’m much better now.”

The team led by a group of old men slowly descended the stairs. The further down they went, the more they could feel the silence of the stairs.

Everyone present did not make a sound. Only their faint footsteps and the whistling wind could be heard echoing in the entire passage.

They did not know how long they had walked for, but they could only see them slowly walking in the quiet and deep passage.

Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared in the passage. Everyone’s spirits were suddenly jolted.

In their eyes, the entrance to the ancient ruins had finally arrived.
