After staying in the plaza for about three days, the other teams could not stay any longer. They started to wander around the ruins of the Tiewei Mountain.
The True Martial Emperor Palace team did not return. Not long after, the Ancient Yuan Spirit Realm, Ancient Thunder Pool, and Solar God Realm gradually left.
Finally, there was only one team left. In that team, a fat man trembled as he walked in front of Long Chen and the others. He gathered his courage and said, "Erm … I'm Yang Yang. I'm here to remind you of something."
"What is it?" Long Chen asked.
This big fatty was very tall and big. If it wasn't for his fierce-looking face, he would probably look quite cute. His body looked like fat, but it was actually all muscles. He probably cultivated a special martial art to look like this.
Yang Yang said, "Although there is a peace treaty, I know that the people from the Ancient Yuan Spirit Realm and the Desolate Ancient Thunder Reservoir have secretly gathered together. They came here together. The Solar Divine Realm team seems to have joined forces with the other two teams. I reckon that when the time comes, they will not care about the peace treaty. When the time comes, they will join forces …"
"Thank you. I understand." Long Chen nodded with a smile.
Actually, he knew what this guy was going to say next.
"I … I want to ask if the Evil Dragon Palace's team is willing to work with us. Oh, no, just let us follow you and help you out. If we think it through, we can give you the Gold Medallion," Yang Yang said anxiously.
If the weak came here and encountered such a big thing, it was very likely that they would die. Long Chen would not be kind to strangers. Everyone had their own fate and should pay the price for their own choices. Moreover, it was very inconvenient for him to move with these five people. Hence, he flatly refused, "I'm sorry. We are used to being alone. We don't like people following behind us."
Yang Yang had a helpless expression and said, "Can't we just take it as having a few underlings? We really regret joining this killing game …"
"You can leave." Long Chen's voice turned slightly colder.
"Uh … Alright." Yang Yang could only move his body away and look at the others helplessly. Then, they left the square together.
If they stayed in the square, they might as well find a hidden place to hide. No matter what, they couldn't use their spiritual consciousness in the ruins of Tiewei Mountain. Each of them was almost blind. The buildings here were extremely hard and terrifyingly firm. If they could find a shelter, they would be very safe.
Now, only Long Chen's team was left in the square.
"Let's walk around as well," Long Chen suggested. After all, none of the teams were in the plaza.
Just as he was about to leave, Long Chen suddenly thought of something. He turned around and looked at the pool in the middle of the square. There was a strange thing in the pool. Long Chen hadn't noticed it before, but now that he saw it, he headed towards the center of the pool.
The three of them stood side by side in front of the white object.
This was a pure white skeleton. It was very complete. It stood in the middle of the pool with its hands crossed in front of its chest, as if it was hugging something. It raised its head and a pair of empty eyes looked towards a certain direction in the sky.
This skeleton should not be a corpse, but a sculpture made of a strange material. Long Chen walked forward and gently pinched it a few times. He found that the material of this skeleton was also very terrifying. Anything that didn't change in Mo Xiaolang's Heaven and Earth Furnace Diagram was definitely not ordinary.
"What a strange thing …" Li Xuanji also felt it and said softly.
Mo Xiaolang knocked left and right and said, "It's nothing. Everything here is so hard. If there was any secret, it would have been discovered long ago."
Long Chen felt that Xiao Lang's words made sense. It was just a white jade skeleton sculpture.
After following the skeleton for a round, he suddenly realized that the skeleton was looking in a certain direction. Following its gaze, Long Chen looked up. In the direction that the skeleton was looking at, there were the thickest black clouds in the sky. The layers of clouds were stacked up, almost pressing down on the ground.
"Let's go, Big Brother. Let's enter the ruins and take a look. Who knows, we might be able to find some treasures. Haha, after so many years, I heard that there are still treasures that were not taken away." Mo Xiaolang said from the side.
Long Chen didn't think too much and left this strange white jade skeleton.
In the direction that the white jade skeleton was looking at, the clouds were rumbling like a huge beast.
The three of them wandered around the ruins. The houses here were very tall and were basically dilapidated. It was obvious that they had been forcefully destroyed. Many places even had deep fist marks.
"Just what level of martial artist is he at to be able to do this?"
"It should be an ancient martial artist. The martial artists of the Middle Ages were much stronger than the ones now." Mo Xiaolang said.
After wandering for a long time, other than discovering that this place was very complicated, like a maze, there was nothing strange. Long Chen had the Spirit Eye technique, so he could easily grasp the position of others.
Not far away, there was a small team that belonged to Yang Yang. After wandering for a long time, he didn't expect to meet them. They also discovered Long Chen. Immediately, their faces were full of smiles as they walked towards Long Chen.
"What a coincidence. We just separated. I didn't expect to meet you guys here again." Yang Yang's face was full of smiles as his pair of small eyes squinted.
It was fate that brought them together. Long Chen wasn't a heartless person. He smiled and said, "Yes, what a coincidence. You guys are also here to see if there are any treasures."
Yang Yang smiled and said, "That's natural. The Ancient Ruins is such a strange place. Even in those places that have been dug three feet deep, there might be treasures appearing. So, we came to try our luck."
Long Chen understood. It seemed like they knew a lot about this Tiewei Mountain. Long Chen continued to ask, "How much do you know about this Tiewei Mountain?"
Yang Yang was delighted. As long as the other party had questions, he could stay with them. His safety was also guaranteed for a short period of time. He didn't need to find a place to hide. He quickly said, "Of course, I came here once before. I even studied this Tiewei Mountain …"
Speaking of this, Yang Yang was very excited. However, at this moment, his face froze for a moment. He pointed behind Long Chen and said, "Is he from your team?"
Long Chen suddenly felt a chill down his spine. At this critical moment, he suddenly hugged Mo Xiaolang and Li Xuanji and pushed them against the wall. He stood in front of them and mobilized his Nirvana Force to surround the three of them. At the same time, he looked in the direction that Yang Yang was pointing at.
At that moment, Long Chen was really scared out of his wits. He didn't know when, but one of the Ten Great Ghost Kings was standing ten meters behind them. His tattered armor swayed gently, and there were several iron chains on the ground. His head was completely hidden in the darkness of the armor, and a rancid smell filled the air.
"Ah!"
Yang Yang let out a scream of terror. He didn't see the person's appearance clearly. After Long Chen and the other two dodged, he finally saw the appearance of one of the Ten Great Ghost Kings.
What he saw gave him quite a fright.
He had been in the Nine Star Chaos City for a long time, so of course he knew about the legends of the Ten Great Ghost Kings. They were ghosts that would kill anyone who met them. And this person who had appeared out of nowhere, didn't he look like one of the Ten Great Ghost Kings? That ghost had appeared silently behind Long Chen, and they were all scared stiff.
Not only Yang Yang, the others also let out a scream and scattered. However, they found that they were so scared that even their legs were trembling. They couldn't exert their speed.
Several earth-shattering screams broke the silence of the ruins of the Tiewei Mountain. Several teams rushed towards this direction to see what was happening.
This was the most sensitive moment. A little movement could determine a lot of things.
It was this ghostly thing again.
They were like maggots attached to bones. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get rid of them. Long Chen had the Power of Nirvana, so it didn't matter. However, if Mo Xiaolang and Li Xuanji were touched by them, their death rate would be very high.
Long Chen clearly remembered that he could hurt Mo Xiaolang with a casual swing of the chain...
Under Long Chen's vigilant gaze, the ghostly creature let out a few strange sounds, as if it was chewing on something. It looked in Long Chen's direction with fear, then turned its head towards the others who were about to escape.
"Hiss!"
With a loud roar, their grey corpse-like bodies finally disappeared in front of Long Chen's eyes. Several earth-shattering screams rang out, and the five martial artists fell to the ground in front of Long Chen one after another. Each of their faces was pale, and a small grey hole had appeared between their eyebrows. It was obvious that chains had pierced through them and hooked their souls away …
Five people had turned into five corpses in a short period of time. That ghostly thing looked at Long Chen unwillingly before disappearing again.
Long Chen was scared out of his wits. When he looked back, he found that Mo Xiaolang and Li Xuanji were also pale with fear. If it weren't for Long Chen's protection, they would probably have become one of them.
Although that ghostly thing had left, it was still a trouble to them like a shadow.
"They're all dead …" Li Xuanji's voice was trembling. Her fair and delicate face was a little pale at this moment. Not to mention her, even someone as powerful as Mo Xiaolang was filled with lingering fear at this moment.
"There's nothing I can do. I can't protect so many people."
Long Chen could only sigh helplessly. He couldn't protect so many people in such a short time.
Within the range of the Soul Eye Technique, several teams rushed over. They weren't far away, and such a huge incident had stirred up everyone's sensitive hearts.
Long Chen suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Trouble is probably coming."
Indeed, as soon as Long Chen said that, Yuan Xiaozhou and the others from the Ancient Yuan Spirit Domain, the Desolate Ancient Thunder Reservoir, the Solar Sacred Realm, and two other teams approached from all directions. When they saw that Long Chen and the others were still standing, while the people in front of them were dead and lying on the ground, their expressions changed.
