143: C143 Universal Palace

C143 Universal Palace

He had been extremely cautious. No one had ever placed a tracking spell on him. How did the person track him? Lin Long had a face full of doubt.

Could it be?

Thinking about something, Lin Long simply did not have the time to pay attention to the cave in front of him. Instead, he took out the porcelain and the map he bought in the marketplace.

"Lin Gongzi, what's wrong?" Seeing that there was something wrong with Lin Long, Zhang Yuhan, who was at the side, was immediately surprised.

Lin Long did not bother with her, and focused all of his attention on the two things in his hands.

He discovered that there was actually an extremely hidden seal on top of the porcelain, and this restriction was actually able to avoid his search earlier. If not for the fact that someone who had set up this restriction was using it, Lin Long would have had no way of discovering its existence.

Of course, in his previous life, when Lin Long was strong, this restriction could not be hidden from him.

Now, even if he set up a restriction to stop the opponent from using it to track him, it would be useless because he was already locked on by the opponent.

Therefore, he directly kept the two items into the rune space ring.

"We were followed by a powerful later stage Martial Lord Realm." Lin Long then turned to Zhang Yuhan and said.

"Late stage Martial Lord Realm expert?" Zhang Yuhan's expression immediately changed. Right now, they were only at the middle stage of the Martial Master Realm.

Under this situation, even if Lin Long had Spirit Fire, he would still not be able to gain anything from it.

"What should we do?" Zhang Yuhan quickly replied.

"We'll see." After he finished speaking, Lin Long immediately walked forward with large strides.

Since he had already come this far, and had spent so much effort, he naturally would not retreat just like that.

Zhang Yuhan quickly followed behind him.

Aside from a few stalactites, there was nothing special about the cave in front of them. However, once they reached the end of the cave, the area in front of them immediately became brighter.

This was because in front of them was a rather large palace. Although it was not comparable to the palace in the ruins of Chuxi Town, it was still very imposing.

After entering the palace, the two of them immediately revealed a look of surprise. Although the palace looked grand, the interior was a mess. Not only that, there were also countless traces of fighting.

Although Lin Long could see traces of runes and threads from different parts of the insides, they had clearly been destroyed, which meant that they had completely lost their use.

If it weren't for the luminous pearls hanging from every corner of the palace, this palace would have looked incomparably dilapidated.

"Could it be that this relic was plundered by someone before we came, and we came late?" Zhang Yuhan asked anxiously.

The reason why she came in was to search for Spirit Fire. If it really was like this, then their trip here would have been a waste.

Lin Long did not speak, but instead carefully examined his surroundings for clues. He originally wanted to find some clues, but his eyebrows quickly wrinkled.

From these traces, it was obvious that they had been there for a long time and definitely had not been left behind recently.

Moreover, the time periods left behind by these scars were obviously different.

Could it be that the people from the Cloud Mist Hall knew about this situation and then intentionally sold the map to the people who entered the auction house, or that this ruin was looted by the people from the Cloud Mist Hall and then the people from the Cloud Mist Hall purposely lured them into this ruin?

Moreover, the Cloud Mist Hall had done this more than once?

All of a sudden, these thoughts flashed through Lin Long's mind, but after thinking about it again, he felt that something was amiss, because there didn't seem to be any reason for the Cloud Mist Hall to do this.

Zhang Yuhan, who was carefully observing the surrounding situation with Lin Long, naturally saw through all of this and became even more worried.

It was also at this time that Lin Long's expression changed again, because he discovered that there were several more powerful auras rushing towards the direction of the ruins.1

This kind of aura was only slightly weaker than the person who was chasing after him.

"What's wrong?" hurriedly asked upon seeing Lin Long's expression.

"Nothing." Lin Long shook his head slightly. A late stage Martial Lord Realm expert was more than enough for them to be in a bad mood, so he did not tell Zhang Yuhan about this matter.

"Hm." Suddenly, Lin Long saw a board hanging in the middle of the hall. The three words on the board caused his eyes to light up.

The sign read, "Universal Palace."

These three words were still fresh in Lin Long's memory, because in his previous life, he had heard these three words who knows how many times.

These three words referred to a ruin. Moreover, it was clearly this ruin. But, this ruin was different from the other ruins. In his previous life, this ruin had been visited by martial artists countless times.

The reason this kind of situation occurred was because after a period of time, a map would appear pointing towards the ruins and attract martial artists to come search for the treasures that had been looted by others.

This event began to spread throughout the surrounding countries, eventually causing all of the warriors to turn around and leave as soon as they saw the three words "Universal Palace".

This was because this was simply a ruin that had been frequented by others countless times.

The map was actually pointing in such a direction. Seeing the signboard, a strange smile appeared on Lin Long's face.

However, he did not turn around and leave like those people.

This was because he knew that there were still two treasures in the ruins and they hadn't been taken away yet.

In his previous life, those who turned around and left after seeing this plaque were filled with regret. This was because in the future, there would be many times where a youth would be able to obtain two treasures from this ruin that they coveted.

One of them was a treasure that all powerful martial artists would want. It was called the Azure Spirit Armor and was said to have been refined using the scales of an ancient divine beast.

This Azure Spirit Armor had an incomparably strong defensive ability. It was precisely because of this Azure Spirit Armor that the young man from his previous life escaped the pursuit of a Martial Lord Realm Ranker.

"This Azure Spirit Armor is definitely in my pockets." With this thought in mind, Lin Long immediately strode towards the great hall in front of him.

It was also at this time that the aura of an expert suddenly surged into the cave behind them.

"Lin Long, someone is coming, and he has already entered the cave." Zhang Yuhan who was beside her exclaimed.

His opponent's ability to conceal her presence was strong, only now did Zhang Yuhan realize.

Lin Long naturally knew, and he knew that the other people were also preparing to enter this ruin.

But even so, his steps were still incomparably firm.
