Lei Guang was shocked because Ye Xiao’s cultivation was too low. At the same time, among the group of Light Rain City, only he and his son were still alive. They were alive because they were moving together and his own strength was strong enough to deal with almost all the dangers lurking in the forest.
The same was true for Lu Sha. Amongst the group of Green Cloud City, only he was alive.
And after seeing Lu Shan, he knew that Lu Sha must have betrayed them and informed his brother about the Lost Forest of Red Moon.
He knew very well that Lu Shan was a part of Blood Hall, a group of assassins.
From Lu Shan’s group, only Lu Shan and a young man at the Ninth Realm of Foundation Building were still alive. This young man was alive because of Lu Shan’s support and protection.
And aside from this young man and three Chaos Dust Realm warriors, every single person present here was a cultivator of Three Cycles of Chaotic Transformation.
Countless people have died in the Lost Forest and every one of them was more powerful than Ye Xiao. But Ye Xiao was still alive and well. He was somehow able to keep his life and even come to this valley.
How could Lei Guang not be shocked?
Ye Xiao could see the shock in Lei Guang’s eyes but did not say anything. After exchanging a few words with Lei Guang, Ye Xiao focused on the huge golden energy barrier. The ruin of Red Moon Temple is inside this barrier. People could enter the ruin only after this energy barrier will disappear.
As for how much time it will take, no one has any idea.
‘Hmm? When did he become a First Cycle of Chaotic Transformation warrior!’ As Lei Guang observed Ye Xiao, he was shocked to discover the drastic improvement in Ye Xiao’s strength. He was really astonished, but then he thought that Ye Xiao must have encountered a fortune in the forest that resulted in an increase in his strength.
And he was not wrong at all.
Ye Xiao did not stay with Lei Guang and Lei Long for long. He went to a corner and started waiting patiently. He planned to explore the ruin alone and keep all the benefits he will obtain there.
Just like that, days started passing, and very soon, five more days passed. In these five days, more and more people appeared in the valley.
The golden energy barrier also seemed to have lost a lot of energy now that it has been shooting a pillar of light in the sky for more than a week. The pillar of light has weakened and everyone knew that the energy barrier will disappear at any moment. All of them were ready to enter the ruin the moment the barrier will disappear.
Ye Xiao was the same as them.
Not far away from Ye Xiao, two beautiful women were standing. These two beautiful women did not seem to be from the human race, for they had strange patterns all over their bodies. But these patterns did not make them look ugly, instead, they added another level of charm to their bodies. They looked too beautiful to not be noticed. Furthermore, their pupils were golden which made them look stunningly pretty.
“Senior Sister Xiang, look at him, he seems very special.”
At this moment, one of the two girls said to the other and pointed at Ye Xiao. Of course, she secretly pointed at him and did not let anyone see.
Ning Xiang looked at Ye Xiao and frowned a little. Then she shook her head and said, “Humans are not good. No matter how special the aura around him might be, it doesn’t prove he is a good person. Junior Sister, you better not get involved with these humans. We are here with a special mission given to us by our master. According to our master, the ruin will definitely appear this time around, and it appeared. All we have to do is to stay out of human matters and take back what is ours from this ruin.”
“That thing belonged to our great grandmaster. When Red Moon Temple Master was still alive, he cheated our great grandmaster out of his Initial Will Crystal. But no matter what, in the end, our great grandmaster did lose. So he never asked Red Moon Master to give his treasure back.”
“Now that Red Moon Master is dead and the ruin has appeared, we just need to retrieve the Initial Will Crystal that once belonged to our Great Grandmaster and leave this secret realm. We don’t need to indulge ourselves with humans!”
Qin Xiaoling nodded but when she looked at Ye Xiao again, she could not stop herself from saying, “But he really is special. I can feel a very special bond and familiarity with him even though this is the first time I’m seeing him. Look at that aura around him, don’t you find it rather pleasing to the eyes, unlike the auras around other humans? He is different from others, mainly his soul, his soul seems to be so pure. I have never seen a soul this pure!”
As she spoke, her golden eyes flickered with light. She seems to be able to see through the barrier of Ye Xiao’s body, directly looking into his soul.
Ning Xiang took another look at Ye Xiao and sighed. She and her junior sister came from a very different race called Primordial Mystic Race. They were different from humans and were born with mystical patterns. These patterns are not just for show, but they have many different uses. ．
Even among the people of the Primordial Mystic Race, Qin Xiaoling was different from others. She was special and was born with the blessings of their Land. The Blessing of Land gave Qin Xiaoling the ability to see through everyone’s soul. At the same time, as her strength will increase, her influence over souls will also increase. At that time, she might even be able to manipulate other people’s souls, control them, and even extract pure soul energy with just a single thought for her own use.
Qin Xiaoling was regarded highly by the Primordial Mystic Race.
“No matter how special the aura around him is and how pure his soul is, in the end, he is a human. You should always remember to not get close to any human!” Ning Xiang warned.
“Ok!” Qin Xiaoling reluctantly nodded.
Ye Xiao had no idea about the little episode between Ning Xiang and Qin Xiaoling. He was just waiting for the ruin to open so that he could enter.
Of course, he did feel as if someone was looking directly into his soul for a few seconds. The time was too short and that feeling disappeared in an instant, so he did not think much about this matter.
Everyone was waiting for the ruin to open so that they could enter and explore. And just like that, two more days passed.
On this day, the golden energy barrier finally lost all its energy and crumbled into countless fragments of light before disappearing.
When the energy barrier disappeared, a huge temple was revealed in front of everyone. Many pillars of the temple were destroyed and there were many holes and burning signs on the bricks of its wall.
Although this temple might seem like an ordinary temple, everyone knew that there is an independent space inside the temple. The true inheritance is hidden somewhere inside that independent space. Ye Xiao knew this as well after spending a few days with Su Ling.
“Crrrr!”
With a creaking sound, the door of the temple opened. When the door opened, it did not reveal anything, instead, a vortex could be seen covering the entire space of the door.
“The entrance has appeared, let’s enter!”
Someone suddenly shouted and dashed into the vortex before disappearing.
When the people present saw this, they also swarmed inside.
About ten minutes later, Ye Xiao also entered the vortex. After he stepped inside the vortex, he suddenly appeared in an open space full of small green grasses below his feet.
Although Ye Xiao was prepared to appear in an independent space, he was still surprised. The scenery around him was very beautiful.
Without wasting any time, he started exploring this space. He walked around and got to know that this independent space was not safe at all. There were many dangers lurking around, and Chaos Beasts were one of the few dangers.
Along the way, Ye Xiao dealt with many Chaos Beasts but did not find anything else. He was surprised, for he remembered Su Ling telling him that there are many treasures inside the temple.
All the people wanted to explore the ruin of Red Moon Temple to obtain the inheritance left behind by the Red Moon Master. At the same time, they wanted to look for other treasures as well.
There should be many treasures scattered all around in the independent space of the Red Moon Temple after the war. But Ye Xiao did not see a single one. In fact, he did not even find traces of wars inside. It was too quiet here.
