The plaza was crowded. The annual trip to the Yuan Ye World was a grand event for all the families in the Storm Sea Area. All the young masters and young ladies of the top families would participate. For one thing, they were there to collect elixirs and treasures. For another, they were there to gain experience.
Yuan Ye World was a very big, small world, and there were many savages and some demons.
This place had been discovered tens of thousands of years ago. Originally, the great clans could have killed all the savages and demons inside. However, when the experts of the great clans entered, they only killed the peak experts inside and looted the place before retreating.
The young generation of the families needed experience. Without experience, they could never become powerful warriors.
The Yuanye World was a great place to train.
In other words …
The savages and monsters were the "beasts" kept in captivity at the Storm Sea Area. They were the whetstones for the young generation of the families to grow.
This was a very sad fact for the savages and demons inside, but this situation was very common in the Second and Third Heavens.
How could the Big Families survive?
Generations of glory and prosperity?
It was because powerful warriors were born in their families. But how could powerful warriors be born?
For one thing, they had to have top-level resources. For another, they could grow through battles.
Therefore, the annual trip to the Yuan Ye World was a big event for all the families. Young powerful warriors would go in, hunt for treasures and kill.
Of the 36 families, 22 were Big Families and 14 were small families. Five of the Big Families could go in and only two of the small families could go in. Altogether, there were more than 100 people.
When Young Master Qin saw Lady Qiong, his eyes glowed. He walked over and greeted Lady Qiong politely, ignoring the other young masters and young ladies.
To him, Lady Qiong was everything. His passionate love made Lu Li speechless. Young Master Qin was treating everyone else as if they didn't exist.
Some young ladies looked at Young Master Qin with hidden bitterness. Occasionally, they would glance at Lady Qiong with jealousy in their eyes.
Young Master Qin was so nice to Lady Qiong, but Lady Qiong always kept him at arm's length. If it were them, they would have been melted by Young Master Qin.
"Young Master Qin, don't just focus on Sister Qiong. We are all here!"
Lady Mu was wearing a phoenix robe. She looked like a beautiful phoenix. She was as beautiful as Lady Qiong. She was cheerful and bold. She was one of the pearls of the Storm Sea Area.
"Sister Mu, nice to meet you!"
Young Master Qin nodded and looked at Miss Qiong.
On the other hand, Miss Qiong was like an iceberg. She treated everyone coldly. It was not rude, but it made people feel that no one could walk into her heart.
"Hahaha, hello, Young Master Qin!"
Young Master Fu, Young Master Bu, and the rest walked over. A group of people greeted each other, and the square was very lively.
Many people surrounded the plaza, looking at the young masters and young mistresses in the city in admiration. This group of people were the proud sons of heaven of the Stormy Sea Region. In the future, when they grew up, they would become the top figures of the Stormy Sea Region, dominating this sea region.
Lu Li followed behind Young Master Qin. There was no change of expression on his face. He was as cold as a mountain and never said a word.
Still, there were people looking at Lu Li from time to time. He was a stranger to them and they could not tell how powerful he was.
However, the Qin Clan was a hidden clan. Usually, the experts of the clan would not come out into the world. Therefore, the crowd was not too surprised.
This time, Young Master Fu also brought two experts who had never appeared in the world before. This was very normal.
After waiting for a while, everyone walked towards a castle in the city.
The entrance to the Yuan Ye World was from the nearby sea. However, in order to not let the average people know, the families usually chose to take Teleportation Formations to the bottom of the sea.
The more than 100 people took turns to be teleported. Lu Li followed Young Master Qin and the others. After a flash of white light, Lu Li found himself at the bottom of the sea. He was in a small underwater city.
The city was small. There were only thousands of people stationed here. The city was protected from the seawater by a shield. The shield was glowing from time to time. There was no difference between living in the city and living in the outside world.
"There are guards at the entrance!"
Lu Li exclaimed. If it were not for Young Master Qin, it would be difficult for him to enter the Yuan Ye World. There were seven or eight warriors of the third tribulation in the city. All of them were old warriors with powerful qi and energy.
The more than 100 people didn't linger here. They all left the city and dived into the deepest part of the valley at the bottom of the sea.
Lu Li observed for a while. The more than 30 families were divided into several teams.
Young Master Qin, Lady Qiong, Young Master Mu and another Young Master Zhu were together. Together with Lu Li, there were 19 warriors of the third tribulation, which was quite a force.
Young Master Fu, Young Master Ge, Young Master Bu and Young Master Li were together. There were also 20 warriors of the third tribulation. The four of them had been with Young Master Yan since last time. It seemed that the families were on good terms.
The other forces had joined forces as well. There were more than 10 or 20 of them. There were eight teams in total.
At the deepest part of the valley, Lu Li saw some black air current moving. The entire valley was covered in the black air current. It even blocked off the seawater.
The black air current emitted a horrifying qi and energy. People could feel it from hundreds of miles away.
"We have to wait for another half a day!"
Young Master Qin glanced over and secretly sent a message to Lu Li. Lu Li waited with a straight face. The eight teams were waiting quietly 30 miles away from the black air current.
Half a day later, the black air current began to move. Young Master Qin took out his pagoda at once. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go in!"
Lady Qiong released her purple gourd. The two of them were at the forefront. Lu Li and the others followed them. They dashed into the black air current like arrows.
"Let's go!"
The seven teams in the distance shouted. Many took out their treasures to pave the way. They led a group of people into the black air current. Soon, more than 100 people had gone into the black air current and disappeared into the sea.
There were not many black air currents. Lu Li felt he had only been going through the black air for the time for one or two incense sticks to burn. Then, he found himself in the sky and was falling down fast.
"Eh …"
Lu Li came down and used psychic power to check. However, he realized that psychic power was useless here. He could only look around with his eyes. He found himself in a strange world.
The Xuan Qi in heaven and earth was so dense that it could be compared to the peak of the Cloud Mountain. Down below was a lush forest that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"Herbal fragrance?"
Before they landed, Lu Li could smell the aroma of elixirs. The Xuan Qi in heaven and earth here was so dense that it must be easy to grow elixirs.
Lu Li frowned. He couldn't help but ask Qin Zhan, "Brother Qin, this is a land of treasures. Why don't your families take over this place?
Any family that can get their hands on this land will rise up quickly. "
"There is a curse here!"
Qin Zhan thought about it and replied, "Tens of thousands of years ago, the most powerful priest of the Demon Race here burned himself and built a curse.
Outsiders will lose their divine energy when they enter this place. We can only stay here for a month or else all the families would have fought over this place. "
"There is such a skill?"
