CHAPTER 1157: CHAPTER 1157: DANGER RETURNS

The three people, seeing Tang Jingshan unwilling to reveal more information, left. They were extremely anxious, as their sons, daughters, and the young Heavenly Prides of the clan were still inside the Ancient Ruins.

However, although they were burning with anxiety, they didn’t dare to rush in, given the fate that had just befallen Tang Jingshan was still clearly present in their minds.

The Ancient Ruins before them were obviously the meticulous work of a Late Stage Creation Realm mighty adversary.

The reason Tang Jingshan ended up like that might very well be because the owner of these Ancient Ruins had set restrictions targeting powerful adversaries.

After all, no powerful adversary would be willing to let others of equal might enter their ruins.

Su Yun, Mu Qinghe, Yang Minghui, and others probably weren’t in danger at the moment; after all, if the owner of these ruins wished harm upon these young disciples, survival until now would have been impossible.

"I think, although the owner of these ruins has measures in place, they might not target everyone. It could just be a test for them. From my perspective, it’s better to watch and wait. What do you two think?"

Mu Tianshan said while looking at Su Liuyun and Yang Chengguang.

Hearing this, the two also nodded in agreement, as this seemed to be the only option given the current situation.

Should they venture in rashly as Tang Jingshan did, they would gain nothing and might plunge their disciples inside into peril.

"Greetings, family head, greetings, two seniors."

While the three were deliberating and silently waiting, Su Lie and others from the Su Family approached.

As Tang Jingshan entered, they happened to escape from the Ancient Ruins, and thus missed him completely. When Tang Jingshan emerged in haste, he didn’t notice them.

When Su Liuyun and others arrived, their attention was on Tang Jingshan, likewise unaware of Su Lie and company.

Now, as Su Lie and company proactively came forward to greet them, they finally took notice.

Su Liuyun was taken aback at first and then quickly inquired about the situation inside from Su Lie.

Seeing this, Su Lie and the others related everything they encountered inside the Ancient Ruins to Su Liuyun and the other two.

Upon hearing, the three were stirred, realizing so much had transpired inside the ruins. No wonder Tang Jingshan was so frantic; evidently, danger had befallen Tang Family disciples.

No, even if Tang Family disciples encountered danger, his reaction seems disproportionate. Could it be Tang Tianpeng is in trouble?

The three’s expressions turned tense, looking towards the Secret Realm entrance, contemplating whether to enter and rescue their sons and daughters.

However, thinking of Tang Jingshan’s miserable condition and learning from Su Lie that Su Family and Yang Family disciples were saved by Lin Chen, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Mu Family head, Mu Tianshan, showed some worry on his face, but upon knowing Mu Qinghe was not in mortal danger, he too relaxed.

"Unexpectedly, the Secret Realm contains the legendary sinister creatures - Bone-Eroding Worms."

Su Liuyun frowned as he looked at the entrance of the Ancient Secret Realm.

"It seems our earlier speculation might be wrong. The owner of these Ancient Ruins might not have good intentions. Giving them opportunities is false; hidden motives, that’s true."

Yang Chengguang said, his expression also extremely grave.

"Let’s wait a bit longer. If there’s no sign of movement for a long time, even if we suffer severe injuries, the three of us must unite to destroy this estate."

Mu Qinghe said sternly.

Hearing this, the other two nodded.

With their sons and daughters inside, they couldn’t stand by and watch them suffer, let alone face mortal dangers.

Moreover, judging from the current aura of the Ancient Ruins, the mighty one who set up these Ancient Ruins might not only be Late Stage Creation Realm but also infinitely close to Divinity Transformation Realm; yet, with the combined efforts of the three, it’s not impossible to destroy this estate.

Then, perhaps the three could split the Treasures inside.

It’s known that Treasures of Ancient cultivators are far beyond what they currently possess.

If they acquire those Treasures, their three families will undoubtedly flourish and develop far beyond their current status.

"However, let’s delay this decision for a few days. If we act rashly and they haven’t emerged, we might put them at risk with our actions."

Though Su Liuyun agreed with Mu Tianshan’s decision, he considered it from a more comprehensive viewpoint.

"Naturally."

Mu Tianshan and Yang Chengguang nodded, agreeing with Su Liuyun’s opinions.

While they were deliberating, inside the Ancient Ruins, Lin Chen saw Tang Jingshan being forced back by the gray mist without letting his guard down. After all, the force which could push back someone like Tang Jingshan, who was a Mid Creation Realm cultivator, must be extremely powerful.

Everyone else shared Lin Chen’s thought at that moment, their gaze fixed on the eleven stone coffins that had shown signs of peculiar movement, abandoning any thoughts of gaining opportunities from this place, all wishing to escape from here.

However, upon turning around, they realized the passage through which they came had been sealed by restrictive forces.

Everyone joined forces trying to break those restrictions but found their skills insufficient to penetrate them.

"Lin Chen, what should we do?"

Yang Minghui, being a woman, couldn’t help but feel a bit panicked at that moment, looking at Lin Chen and asking.

Mu Qinghe, Su Yun, and others also looked towards Lin Chen. At this moment, Lin Chen seemed to become the pillar. After all, the power Lin Chen demonstrated was entirely beyond their understanding. They had no idea how strong Lin Chen’s trump card really was.

Each time they thought they knew enough about him, he’d reveal another trump card, overturning their perception of him.

Hearing this, Lin Chen was silent. He actually had a way to lead everyone out, but his method involved establishing a spatial passage and using Spatial Spirit Spring and Space Crystal Stone for transmission.

But doing so would expose these two Treasures.

Lin Chen didn’t want to do that, so for now, indeed, they could only remain trapped here.

"Wait, where is Heng Sanjin, the water bandit leader?"

Just as everyone looked at Lin Chen, wanting to know what to do next, Su Yun noticed one person was missing from the crowd.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen and everyone else searched around, indeed not seeing Heng Sanjin; moreover, the seventh rank magic treasure from earlier had also vanished.

Boom –

And at this moment, another bad news presented itself before everyone.
