.Sure enough, after getting the benefits, everyone's eyes became friendly when they looked at Lordae, and even with a little gratitude. When the person in charge saw this, the last bit of concern in his heart disappeared. He gritted his teeth, took the cloth bag from Lordae's hand, and whispered, "Brother, I will reveal something to you for your generous sake. But you must remember, you can't tell others."
Lodan nodded quickly, with an expectant expression on his face: "Brother, don't worry, I must keep my mouth shut."
The person in charge looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention, and then lowered his voice and said, "In fact, the reason why our young master was arrested is not just because he knew about the Holy See. Another important reason is that he might hold his hands in his hand. Holding the key to open a mysterious ruin. Those forces want to get this key and enter the ruins to look for opportunities."
Lodan was shocked when he heard this, but his face remained silent. He continued to ask, "Then where is this mysterious ruin? Brother, do you know?"
The person in charge shook his head and said, "I don't know where it is. But I heard that it has a close relationship with this demon beast mountain range. Okay, that's all I can tell you. Be careful and don't be discovered by those forces."
Lordae said gratefully, "Thank you for your advice. I remember." At this time, everyone in the camp was still counting the spirit stones in their hands excitedly, but Lordae was already planning the next plan in his heart.
The hundred people looked at the spirit stone in their hands, their eyes full of surprise and greed. In sects, it is difficult to obtain enough cultivation resources on weekdays. It requires a lot of energy to complete tasks and please the elders, and it may not be able to get what they want. But now, these spirit stones have been easily reached by themselves, as if they were picked up for free, and there is no reason to refuse.
The person in charge held the cloth bag containing a thousand spirit stones tightly in his hand, and the balance in his heart gradually tilted. He glanced at Luodan secretly, and saw that Luodan had a smile on his face, with sincerity in his eyes. Buckyun and Shangguan Butcher beside him were just standing quietly, looking like they were not concerned about themselves. No matter how they looked, they didn't look like someone with ulterior motives and other intentions.
"In my opinion, these brothers are just here to join in the fun of the monster mountain range," a disciple said to the leader in a low voice. "Look at their appearance, they don't seem to cause any storm. It shouldn't cause any trouble for us."
Another disciple also echoed on the side: "Yes, brother. We have collected so many spirit stones, and if we don't reveal any news, it's not reasonable. Moreover, the news we revealed is not a particularly important secret, and it should be fine."
The person in the leader listened to everyone's discussion and his concerns gradually dissipated. He nodded and said, "Okay, since everyone says that, let's reveal a little. But everyone remembers it for me, don't say it out loud, otherwise the elders will know that we can't even get away."
Everyone nodded and said yes, with excited smiles on his face. At this time, the light of the bonfire illuminated everyone's faces, and a subtle atmosphere filled the camp. Seeing everyone's reaction, Lordae secretly felt happy, knowing that his plan had been half successful. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to conceive the next action in his mind, how to use this information to rescue Shangguan Bowen and explore the secrets of the mysterious ruins. Outside the camp, the mountain of monsters in the dark seemed like a sleeping giant beast, waiting for the challenge of Lordae and others.
Lodan nodded slightly, listening carefully to the person in charge. The more he listened, the more he felt that what the other person said was reasonable. His eyes unconsciously glanced at the crowd around him, thinking secretly about the severity of the situation. "You're right, brother." Luo Dan said with a serious expression, "I originally thought this matter was not that complicated. Now it seems that I underestimated the ambitions and methods of those forces."
The person in charge sighed, with a hint of worry on his face: "That's right. These forces can do everything in order to get the key to the mysterious ruins. Take our Shangguan Sect for example. This time, we sent one hundred of us to investigate the situation on the surface, but in fact we wanted to get a share of the pie. And we are just small minions at the super level. Those who are truly capable must have come."
Lordae frowned and thought to himself. He knew very well that in such a situation, it was possible to imagine how difficult it was to rescue Shangguan Bowen. None of those strong people above the throne can easily deal with. "Brother, do you know what these forces are doing now?" Lordae asked anxiously, "Is there any news about my friend? How is he doing now?"
The person in charge shook his head and said helplessly, "I don't know the specific situation. I only know that those forces are watching your friend very tightly and don't let him leave at all. Moreover, they are constantly interrogating him, using all kinds of means to pry out the whereabouts of the key from his mouth."
A trace of anger and worry flashed in Lordae's eyes, and his fists clenched unconsciously. He knew that time was tight and he had to find a way to rescue Shangguan Bowen as soon as possible, otherwise his life would be in danger. "Thank you, brother." Lord Dan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "The information you provided was very helpful to me. I will find a way to save my friend."
The leader looked at Luodan's firm eyes and couldn't help but admire him: "Brother, I can see that you are a person who values love and righteousness. But this matter is really dangerous, you must be careful. If there is anything we need to help, as long as we can do it, we will never refuse."
Lodan looked at the leader gratefully and nodded: "Brother, I appreciate your kindness. I will be careful. I hope we can all survive this crisis safely."
At this time, the atmosphere in the camp became increasingly tense, and everyone was worried about the unknown that was about to come. However, Luo Dan had a preliminary plan in his heart. He decided to take a risk and rescue Shangguan Bowen and unveil the veil of the mysterious ruins.
A among the mountains surrounded by mist, an ancient sect stands quietly. Inside the sect, the disciples looked hurried and were eager. "Senior Brother, have you heard of it?" A young disciple, full of anxiety, grabbed an older brother, with a little nervous and curious voice.
The older senior brother frowned, looked solemn, and whispered, "I just got the news that there was a big noise in the mountains."
"Then what will our sect do?" The little disciple's eyes were full of worry, and his voice unconsciously raised. "Don't panic!" The senior brother glared at him and lowered his voice, "The elders are already discussing countermeasures. Let's do our own thing first and wait for instructions."
At this time, the atmosphere in the sect's conference hall was solemn. The elders sat around, their faces serious, staring at the yellowed mountain map on the table. "This abnormal movement of the mountains is probably hidden by a huge opportunity." A white-haired elder spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful. "That's right, you can't let other forces take the lead!" Another elder slapped the table suddenly, his eyes flashing with an anxious light.
"But we cannot act rashly." The leader of the sect slowly stood up and glanced at everyone, "Although the power of the nearby lords is not as powerful as our sect, they should not be underestimated. They must have received the news, and it is impossible to ignore it."
"Then what should we do?" An elder looked at the sect leader with a puzzled face.
The sect leader pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Send someone to inquire about the news first and find out the movements of other forces. At the same time, summon elite disciples and be ready to set off at any time."
At the same time, in a castle near the mountains, a lord in gorgeous clothes was sitting in the spacious hall, with a gloomy face.
"What's going on in this mountain range?" The lord suddenly smashed the wine glass in his hand to the ground and roared angrily. "Sir, it is said that there is a great opportunity." The butler on the side replied carefully. "Hmph, those guys in the sect will definitely not miss this opportunity." The lord snorted coldly, and a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, "We can't fall behind, we can summon people immediately and prepare to set off!"
And at the entrance of the mountains, a group of casual cultivators had already gathered. They were ragged, but their eyes were filled with a greed light. "Haha, maybe I can get rich overnight this time!" a burly casual cultivator said with a big laugh.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Don't be too happy too early, this opportunity is hard to take." A thin casual cultivator curled his lips and said coldly. "What are you afraid of? There are so many of us who are afraid that we can't stake those sects and lords?" Another casual cultivator said loudly with disdain on his face.
Everyone said and said something, arguing endlessly, but the greed in his eyes became stronger and stronger. As time goes by, the movements in the mountains are getting louder and louder, and a fierce competition seems to be about to break out.
In the dim secret room, the candlelight swayed, and Luodan frowned, staring at the mysterious animal skin map in his hand that was emitting a glimmer of light. His fingers slowly slid on the map, and each marker was like heavy lead blocks pressing against the tip of his heart.
"How could this happen..." Lordae murmured to himself, his voice low and hoarse, revealing endless fatigue and shock. After a long time, he sighed and slowly raised his head, his eyes full of solemnity and helplessness. "Sir, the situation outside is getting worse." A shadow guard with a cold air all over his body appeared quietly behind Lord Dan like a ghost, kneeling on one knee, his voice cold.
Lodan nodded slightly, without saying a word, but just raised his hand and rubbed his temples, as if he wanted to use this to dispel his exhaustion and worries.
"According to our latest inquiry," the Shadow Guard paused, his voice becoming more and more low. "At least a few thousand people have gathered. Among them, there are seven or eight powerful people in the Half-Step Holy See, each of which is terrifying. The space can shake in every move; there are probably more than 30 dominant powerhouses, and their strength is unfathomable, and each one is enough to dominate one world; there are as many as hundreds of strong people in the throne realm, and their auras gather together, like surging waves, making people shudder. The rest are also super-level cultivators, and any one can make a lot of storm."
"This... this is simply a terrifying force that can sweep everything..." Lord Dan whispered in a low voice, a hint of despair flashing in his eyes. He slowly stood up, walked to the window of the secret room, raised his hand and pushed open the window, looking at the land covered in darkness outside, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.
"Sir, what should we do?" The Shadow Guard stood up, walked behind Lordae and asked softly.
Lodan was silent for a long time, slowly turned around, looked at the Shadow Guard with a firm look, and said in a deep voice: "Now, I will deal with all this alone. Go and notify the other brothers and let them hide themselves and not expose them easily. Leave the rest to me."
"Sir..." The Shadow Guard wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Luodan's hand.
"No need to say more, I have decided." There was an unquestionable determination in Lord Dan's eyes. "I can't hide from this battle, nor do I want to hide. I want them to know that it is not that easy to take things from me!"
In a dim light and full of decay, the atmosphere was originally peaceful, but Lord Dan felt the dangerous factors hidden in the air. He held the wine glass and casually leaned over to a man in the corner who seemed inconspicuous but actually exuded a scent of the world. Lord Dan's heartbeat accelerated slightly, but he pretended to be calm on his face, trying to make his voice sound casual and natural: "Brother, I heard that Shangguan Bowen was locked up recently. Do you know where to lock him up? I have something to do to find him."
As soon as he said that, Lordae regretted it. The man's eyes, which were originally a bit drunk, were instantly sharp as an eagle, and his expression suddenly changed. With a deep suspicion, he stared at Lord Dan straight at him, as if he wanted to see through him. The man's hand unconsciously pressed the hilt of the knife around his waist, and his joints turned slightly white due to the force.
In an instant, everyone in the tavern who were originally talking and drinking seemed to have received some silent command, and their movements were stuttering in unison. Then, everyone was quietly ready to go. Some touched the weapons hidden in the dark, and some adjusted their positions quietly, vaguely surrounding Lord Dan in the middle. The temperature in the entire tavern seemed to drop, which was so depressing that it was breathless.
Lodan's heart skipped a beat and he secretly cried. His hands subconsciously reached into the bag containing the spirit stone in his arms. His fingers touched the round and smooth spirit stone. He was about to take it out and continued to fool the group of people with the money attack, but his thoughts changed and he gave up. He knew that in this tense atmosphere, taking out the spirit stone rashly would not only not ease the situation, but it might be like pouring a fire on dry firewood, completely angering the group of people. Lordae's brain was running rapidly, thinking about ways to escape, and fine beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead, but on the surface he was trying to maintain calmness, trying to find a trace of vitality in this impending crisis.
