Silver Beam and Giant Finger violently collided with Dark Spirit Seal. Instantly, the toxic mist surrounding Heavenly Seal began to dissipate after being struck by Silver Beam. Even on top of Heavenly Seal, cracks started to spread, ultimately shattering it.
Clearly, the combined pressure from Silver Beam and Giant Finger was too much for even Dark Spirit Seal to withstand.
When Wang Shuiqun saw Dark Spirit Seal break, his expression changed dramatically. He swiftly twisted his body, agilely dodging the strikes from Silver Beam and Giant Finger. Finally, gritting his teeth in frustration, he took out three gray beads from his Storage Ring.
"Aotian, consider yourself lucky today; now pray that you can withstand the wrath of the Skeleton Adventure Team!"
With a loud shout, Wang Shuiqun hurled the three gray beads, which shot out like flowing light from between his fingers and exploded not far in front of Aotian.
Thick gray mist poured out from the exploding beads, obscuring Aotian's vision. Wherever the mist spread, life seemed to be tainted with a layer of gray. Clearly, the mist contained potent poison.
However, this poison posed little threat to Aotian, who possessed the Transformation Technique, especially since he also had the trump card of Heaven Devouring Seal. With the dominance of Heaven Devouring Seal, these toxic mists could not harm Aotian in any way.
It seemed that Wang Shuiqun understood that these toxic mists were not a significant threat to Aotian. As he threw the three gray beads, he darted towards the direction of Mystic Spirit Town, choosing not to continue entangling with Aotian.
Although this toxic mist did not pose a threat to Aotian, it obscured his vision completely, making it impossible for him to see his surroundings.
While releasing Soul Power could present the surrounding scene in his mind, Aotian was unfamiliar with this toxic mist. Since the soul was fundamental to him, he was cautious and would not release Soul Power without knowing the details of the opponent. After all, if his soul were harmed, it would be a serious matter.
As time slowly passed and a strong wind blew through, the toxic mist gradually dissipated.
Looking around, when Aotian realized there was no sign of Wang Shuiqun, he understood that Wang Shuiqun had already left.
"Aotian, things are looking a bit grim!"
Suddenly, Xiao Ya, leaning against a nearby tree, spoke up.
Previously, after being affected by Soft Xuan Saliva, she was unable to circulate her Mystical Energy, preventing her from assisting Aotian. Thus, she could only watch helplessly as Wang Shuiqun disappeared from view, which left her quite frustrated.
After all, once Wang Shuiqun leaves, it is highly likely that he will report to the Skeleton Adventure Team. Although Qiu Wenxuan and the others were not killed by Aotian, the fact that Aotian offended the Skeleton Adventure Team cannot be ignored.
Xiao Ya also expressed her concerns to Aotian in a straightforward manner.
Aotian was silent for a moment and said, "Since Wang Shuiqun has already escaped, we can't pursue him anymore. Forget it, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. If the Skeleton Adventure Team truly doesn't know their place, I will definitely make them pay!"
By the end of his words, a fierce look appeared on his handsome face.
Xiao Ya nodded and said, "As long as you are aware of it."
"Yes, Uncle Xiaoya, let's head to the Mysterious Ruins first. If we can find some fortuitous encounter there, then we won't have to worry about the Skeleton Adventure Team anymore."
"Alright, let's set off..."
A few days later, in a continuous mountain forest, Aotian and Xiao Ya stood side by side, quietly gazing at the tall peak in the distance.
"Uncle Xiaoya, is the ruins over there?" Aotian asked, pointing at the towering mountain.
Xiao Ya nodded slightly and then took out a scroll from her Storage Ring. She gently unfolded the scroll, and immediately a crimson dot appeared before Aotian's eyes.
The location marked by the red dot was exactly where the distant mountain peak stood.
"Whew, after traveling for so many days, we've finally found it..."
Upon seeing the location of the red dot, Aotian slowly exhaled a breath of white mist.
Several days had passed since the incident with Wang Shuiqun, and Xiao Ya had returned to normal half an hour after being affected by Soft Xuan Saliva, without any lingering side effects.
This relieved Aotian, as he had a close relationship with Xiao Ya. If anything were to happen to her, Aotian feared he would never find peace for the rest of his life.
During these few days, Aotian had refined the Mystic Spirit Fruit. However, he was disappointed to find that the fruit did not allow him to break through to Innate Triple; he remained at the peak of Innate Second Layer. At the same time, the Dragon's Phantom in his Dantian had slightly solidified.
Yet, this was within Aotian's expectations. After all, he practiced the Dragon God Transformation Technique, and it was reasonable for breakthroughs to be difficult.
Although he did not achieve a breakthrough, it did not mean that Aotian's strength had not increased. Based on his estimation, he should have few rivals below Innate Eightfold at this moment.
After Xiao Ya recovered and Aotian refined the Mystic Spirit Fruit, the two hurried towards the location of the Mysterious Ruins. After several days of travel, they finally arrived at the site of these Mysterious Ruins.
"But I can't see anything!"
Looking at the distant peak, Aotian wore a puzzled expression. If it weren't for the map indicating that this peak was indeed the location of the Mysterious Ruins, he wouldn't have believed that they were truly situated there. After all, on the surface, that peak looked no different from any other mountain.
"Hehe, one shouldn't judge by appearances; perhaps that peak really has something different about it?"
Xiao Ya laughed as she was about to roll up the scroll and put it into her Storage Ring when an unexpected event occurred!
A burst of multicolored light shot out from the map, racing like lightning towards the nearby peak.
At a certain point within the mountain, another burst of multicolored light suddenly erupted and connected with the light emitted from the map.
Aotian clearly sensed that the terrifying energy contained within the scroll was flowing away along with that light.
"Boom"
A loud explosion echoed through the sky, followed by two beams of light shooting straight into the heavens, illuminating the surrounding area for thousands of miles like two suns, even the warriors in Mystic Spirit Town could perceive the celestial phenomenon occurring here!
Aotian and Xiao Ya's expressions changed drastically:
"We're in trouble!"
In Mystic Spirit Town, in a vast courtyard.
Members of the Skeleton Adventure Team were stationed here. At this moment, the captain of the Skeleton Adventure Team, Qiu Mingjie, gazed at the direction where the two beams of light shot up into the sky, a layer of heat gradually spreading in his eyes:
"Someone, gather all members, we are heading to Mysterious Spirit Mountain Range!"
In a secret chamber, a middle-aged man's figure burst through the door, excitedly looking into the distance:
"The heavens show signs; there must be treasures descending. Qiu Mingjie, it's time for your Skeleton Adventure Team's dominant position to be passed to my Wind Family!"
In the Mysterious Spirit Mountain Range, a figure slowly moved through the jungle. Suddenly, the figure came to a halt, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.
The woman slowly raised her head and looked into the distance, murmuring:
"Is it time for the ruins to appear? Well, I'll go take a look; it might help with my cultivation at the academy..."
In a hidden place, the Xiao Brothers sat cross-legged together. After an unknown amount of time, they slowly opened their eyes:
"Flame Sun, have you expelled all the Cold Poison from your body?"
"Well, it's almost there. I feel like I'm just one step away from the Innate Nine Levels."
"Haha, it seems our little brother Aotian has done us quite a favor..."
Suddenly, a blinding light illuminated the faces of the three:
"What... what is this?"
"Whatever it is, it must be extraordinary. We sensed it, and those guys in Mystic Spirit Town must have sensed it too. Perhaps little brother Aotian will come to join the fun! Let's go take a look..."
"Haha, sure!"
Such scenes are common in Mystic Spirit Town and the Mysterious Spirit Mountain Range.
In the void above, an old man gazed at the Heaven-Defying light pillar, stroking his beard as he said:
"This should be the ruins of that old fellow from the Soul Abyss emerging. With his strength, I probably can't just barge in. Little one, this time you'll have to rely on yourself..."
