Chapter 85: The Great Cang Ridge's Pursuit of Life Tower

  All three of them were carefully searching for the entrance of the ruins around them.

  Feng Tao, on the other hand, circled around the foot of the mountain and looked around roughly, finding three possible places that could be the entrance to the ruins, but they didn't immediately go to observe them.

  At the foot of the mountain, Feng Tao and two old servants were whispering to each other.

  Feng Tao's face turned gloomy as he said, "If there's a chance, I'll definitely make sure Lu Tianyu is dead!"

  The hatred between Feng Tao and Lu Tianyu seems to be for no reason, to be honest, there is no interest dispute between the two, it's just that they can't stand each other. Both sides can be said to be from wealthy families, with similar family backgrounds, but their attitudes towards things and methods seem to have a big gap, which led to their hatred!

  He Lao and Jiang Lao exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat serious as they spoke to Feng Tao: "Young Master, this time we came out, the master of the house instructed us that we must ensure you obtain the treasure within the ancient relic! This way, your chances of becoming the next master of the house will be even greater in the future. After all, it's not just up to one person to decide within the family!"

  Upon hearing this, Feng Tao's whole body shook, his face changed color several times, and finally he calmly said: "I don't know why I was so reckless this time! Letting He Lao and Jiang Lao worry!"

  "We understand that Young Master has been pretending for many years and it's not easy to change overnight!" The two old men said with some comfort.

  Feng Tao sneered, a few strands of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, and said: "As a member of the Feng family, you colluded with outsiders to subvert the power within the clan. Those people are not worth pitying, I will make them have a big surprise!"

  "I don't know when the young master will overcome his tribulations and become the Martial Emperor. The young master should have had the strength to overcome his tribulations two years ago! It's just that he has been suppressing it until today in order to deceive others!" The two elders were extremely loyal to the family head, and the higher Feng Tao's achievements rose, the more delighted they became.

  "This time I came out mainly to get through the difficulties, and for this day, I have been preparing for two years!" If other members of the Feng family saw this expression on Feng Tao's face, they would definitely be shocked to the point where their jaws would drop. "If possible, take down that Lu Tianyu too, I found out he has a killing intent towards me, if there is no chance then forget it, after all these things are not important now!"

  "That person beside Lu Tianyu is very strong, even if the two of us join forces, we may not be able to take him down!" He had always been extremely cautious around Dāo Shū and èr Lǎo. "However, young master should also be careful about that lone traveler, he's not simple either!"

  "This time the treasure in the ruins doesn't seem to be easy to get, but that's nothing. It's just a martial emperor's remains after all, there probably isn't much valuable stuff left!" Feng Tao immediately said: "But if we can get it, it's still not bad, let's go find the entrance of the ruins first! Don't let them get ahead of us!"

  After finishing speaking, the three of them went to explore the three possible locations at the foot of the mountain that could be the entrance to the ruins.

  Next to the pond, a three-stage demon snake lay on the ground, with a large hole opened up in the seven-inch space, and the snake's blood flowed all over the ground, apparently already dead.

  Lu Tianyu and Dao Shu came to the side of this pool to explore the entrance of the ruins, but on the way, they encountered an attack by a third-order demon snake. However, this demon snake obviously found the wrong target, as soon as Dao Shu made a move, the snake fell down.

  "Uncle Knife, are you confident?" Lu Tianyu said to the middle-aged man beside him.

  The middle-aged man slightly furrowed his brow, and after a moment, said somewhat solemnly: "Those two old men are not worth mentioning, but that other loose cultivator gives me a very dangerous feeling, he is a formidable opponent!"

  Completely different from his usual carefree self, Lu Tianyu was extremely serious at this moment. "It seems that this treasure hunt won't be easy! They're not the ones I'm most worried about! What I'm most concerned about is that there are other powerful individuals! After all, the unknown is always the most dangerous! I've been feeling that the news of this ruin's discovery came a bit too mysteriously. Why do so many people have the same treasure map? These maps clearly originated from the same person, perhaps someone who is participating in this treasure hunt!"

  "Before I came, the master had already instructed me to protect the young master at all costs!" This knife uncle was also a top-notch expert within the Tianqi Sect and extremely fond of battle, standing almost at the very top except for the sect leader and the great elder!

  Lu Tianyu nodded and said, "This time it's troublesome for Uncle Knife!"

  "Don't be misled by your own feelings, don't underestimate anyone when you're out and about. It's best not to provoke that Feng Tao. Although the Feng family isn't in Shuihua City, it's not a good idea to increase potential enemies for yourself!" The middle-aged man named Knife Uncle nodded slightly, giving Lu Tianyu a hint about the current situation.

  "Knife Uncle, you've underestimated me! I naturally understand these principles. The reason I was provoking Feng Tao on the road was just for show in front of that loose cultivator strongman. Although I'm a young master, I never provoke those I shouldn't mess with!" Lu Tianyu coldly smiled, and this expression made Knife Uncle pause, then said somewhat self-mockingly: "It seems we really did underestimate this generation!"

  Dào Shū no longer spoke, and the two of them continued strolling around the pond, seemingly not paying much attention to finding the entrance to the ancient ruins.

  As for that loose cultivator, he observed the situation within a fifty-mile radius, as if he wasn't looking for the entrance to the ruins at all, but rather preparing to escape!

  Indeed, a loose cultivator who has come all the way is worthy of his reputation. His consideration is thorough. He doesn't seek merit, but seeks no fault, and hasn't been misled by the temptation of tragic relics that have blinded his eyes.

  As long as one's life is saved, everything else can be salvaged.

  After searching the area of fifty miles in circumference twice, he finally stopped and muttered to himself: "There are mountains, water, and four-stage demon beasts around here, but there is no good place to hide! If I encounter danger, I can only choose to escape immediately, otherwise I can only enter the territory of those two four-stage demon beasts!"

  On this nameless great mountain there is a four-stage demon beast - Xi Tian Lang! In the water pool, there is also a four-stage demon beast - Gui Tou E!

  The wolf howls at the top of the mountain, seemingly always sleeping; that alligator is lurking in the water pool, occasionally coming ashore to bask in the sun! These two monsters are the overlords of this nearby hundred-mile radius, extremely powerful, and may have also clashed with human martial artists in the late Wuhuang period!

  "These two beasts are too powerful, I shouldn't be their match, and I must not enter their territory unless absolutely necessary!" The loose cultivator secretly made up his mind.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  There were several more sonic booms that came through, and the three parties immediately heard the rapidly approaching sonic boom, quickly gathering together.

  "It seems we're not the only ones who know about this ancient ruin after all!"

  "These few people all seem very strong!"

  "Perhaps we should form an alliance. Neither of our sides has any advantage now, so it's better to join forces. What do you think?" The lone cultivator suggested.

  Lu Tianyu and Feng Tao exchanged a glance, both of their eyes filled with hidden murderous intent, but this was noticed by the strong loose cultivator.

  "I have no objection!" "I don't either!"

  The two of them almost said it at the same time.

  "I don't even know what to call you yet!" The two elders and Knife Uncle looked at this powerful loose cultivator one after another.

  He smiled slightly and said faintly: "You can call me 'Wang'."

  "What kind of ridiculous name is Wang? Are you messing with me?"

  "If I'm called this way, wouldn't others think I'm your younger brother!"

  Lu Tianyu and Feng Tao were unwilling, and immediately Feng Tao said: "Just call you Old Wang!"

  "Wang is just my name, but a name is just a code, you can call me whatever you want!" Wang seemed very casual.

  Hiss... Hiss...!

  Just then, this group of people finally appeared in front of the six.

  "It's finally here, I don't know what kind of sacredness it is!" Wang said lightly, but at this time he revealed a different kind of overbearing aura.

  "Wow, I didn't expect that there are others besides us!" Three middle-aged men appeared in front of the six people, one wearing white clothes, one wearing black clothes, and one wearing blue clothes. The three men all wore the same emblem on their chests, causing a slight shock to the six people, who immediately judged that these three men came from the same force.

  "Who are you three heroes? What brings you here?" Wang asked calmly, with the demeanor of a leader.

  Among the three, a middle-aged man in white clothes glanced at the six people below. When he saw Wang and Knife Uncle, he slightly condensed for a moment, then said: "We are from Dashang Ridge, we three are the guardians of the Pursuing Life Building, what about you?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Tianyu and Feng Tao below were both stunned, saying: "Dà Cāng Lǐng! The people of Dà Cāng Lǐng have also come!"

  "This is indeed the Taihang Mountains, but it's adjacent to Shan Guo. I didn't expect that everyone from Da Cang Ling would come!"

  "It turns out that you are the strong ones from Dacang Ridge. The six of us come from Shenguo, and we're here for the ruins. I suppose the three of you are also here for the same reason!" Wang said with a calm smile, not showing any surprise at all.

  "You're also here for the relic!" The black-robed Guardian of Pursuing Life exclaimed.

  "It seems that many people know about this relic now. I thought only I, the Pursuing Life Tower, knew about it!" The blue-robed guardian of the Pursuing Life Tower said. After finishing speaking, he glanced at the two who came with him, and this action caused Knife Uncle and Second Elder to slightly pause, blocking Lu Tianyu and Feng Tao's line of sight.

  "I think this time there are others who know about the ruins, it's clear that someone intentionally spread the treasure map!" The white-robed Pursuing Life Guardian suddenly took out the sheepskin paper with the treasure route carved on it, and with a slight force of his finger, the sheepskin paper turned into a pile of debris.

  "What kind of person wants to play with us? Don't want to live, I'm chasing the life tower, it's not something that can be trifled with." The blue-clothed guardian in the life tower looked extremely annoyed.

  The two old men and Knife Uncle's eyes were also changing colors, and it was unclear what they were thinking.

  "Everyone has arrived, why not wait and see? I think the person behind the scenes will definitely come out! Don't you all want to know who that person is?" Wang's voice was soft, but everyone fell silent and looked at him.
