C2059 A Stick in the Ruins
Hearing the innkeeper's introduction, a playful smile appeared on Ye Hong Tian's face, and he extended his right hand towards the blue halberd.
Lan Jisha withdrew the surprise on his face. The corners of his mouth twitched. He also extended his right hand and grabbed Ye Hong Tian's right hand.
The two of them did not test each other's thoughts, so it was only a simple handshake. They quickly let go.
Because of what had happened on the stage, the two of them remained silent after shaking hands. From the looks of others, the two of them didn't seem to be communicating.
The innkeeper could sense what had happened between the two of them. He wanted to ease the atmosphere, but he did not know how to open his mouth. Cold sweat could not help but form on his forehead. In the end, Ye Hong Tian was the first to break the awkward atmosphere.
"Your surname is Lan, and you are from the Lan Family?" ...
"Yes, in the past, but we broke off relations a few decades ago. I'm just Lan Jisha."
"Oh? It seems that you made a very wise choice back then. With the Lan Family's current actions, they will die sooner or later. If we cut off our relationship earlier, we will not be affected."
"You really have a lot of guts. How dare you say that the Lan Family will die so directly in Bluejade City? If I'm not wrong, the Lan Family's explosion should have something to do with you, right? The Lan family is currently mobilizing large amounts of manpower to search for you. I advise you to leave as soon as possible. "
"Thank you for your reminder, senior. Originally, we were prepared to leave today."
As the two of them chatted, they talked about the matter of the Lan Family's explosion. In the end, Ye Hongtian did not deny it and tacitly agreed.
After a moment, Lan Jisha left with the excuse of "remembering something to do." Ye Hongtian, Yu Fengxiao, and Jun Qiongyao followed the innkeeper back to the inn.
On the stairs upstairs, the innkeeper gave Ye Hongtian a map, and then pretended nothing had happened and went to receive the guests who had just entered the inn.
Ye Hongtian didn't immediately open the map to see what was on it. Instead, he brought Yu Fengxiao and Jun Qiongyao to his room, closed the door, and opened the map.
This map was the map of half of Bluejade City, and the bottom left corner was exactly the inn they were currently at.
From the inn they were at, there was a line connecting to a building at the top right corner. Of course, this line wasn't a straight line, and it was curved in the middle. Obviously, it was the route to the top right corner of the building.
"What is this?" Yu Fengxiao looked at the map and asked.
"It's probably the route to safely leave Bluejade City because I blew up the Lan family. Bluejade City has been sealed off for a long time. I just wanted to break through by force. But if this map really allows us to leave Bluejade City, then we won't have to take the risk and forcefully break through. " Ye Hong Tian kept the map and replied.
"Anyway, let's go to that place and take a look. If I remember correctly... A little bit further ahead of us is the North Gate of Bluejade City. If the buildings on the map do not allow us to go out... We'll just forcefully break through when the time comes. " Jun Qiongyao added one last sentence.
Just like that, the three of them decided to follow the map's directions and go to the building in the northern part of the city to take a look. Before leaving, they didn't even say anything to the shopkeeper and directly went out through the window.
The three of them maintained the maximum speed of an ordinary seventh level awakened realm martial artist. Moving at this speed was a uniform speed to them, and they wouldn't feel tired very quickly.
When they arrived at the place marked on the map, there was only a stretch of ruins before them when they arrived at the location of the building.
It seemed that this place had collapsed due to the aftermath of some martial artists' battle. There were even blade marks on the supporting pillars that were inserted diagonally into the ground.
"Let's split up and look around to see if there are any secret tunnels. Call me if you find any suspicious locations. I'll use my ocular technique to check." Ye Hong Tian said to Jun Qiongyao and Yu Fengxiao.
The two immediately nodded and began to search for possible secret tunnels in the ruins. Ye Hongtian sat cross-legged in the center of the ruins, allowing his soul power to penetrate into the ground.
After a simple search, Ye Hongtian didn't find any traces of the secret passage underground. Jun Qiongyao and Yu Fengxiao also returned empty-handed and didn't find any clues.
"Why don't we just forcefully break through! With our speed, the Lan Family won't be able to stop us!" Yu Fengxiao leaned against the support pillar by the side and said.
He leaned against the support pillar and the support pillar fell down. Ye Hongtian saw this and immediately went below the support pillar to support it, not letting it make a loud sound.
When his hand touched the pillar, a very strong force burst out from the pillar and tried to send Ye Hongtian flying. However, Ye Hongtian cleverly removed the force and supported the pillar.
Putting the heavy pillar on the ground, Ye Hongtian let out a sigh of relief and turned his head to glare at Yu Fengxiao.
"We've found all the places we can. There doesn't seem to be anything that can help us leave. This map might be a map of this place before it turns into ruins, so it's normal that we can't find it." Ye Hong Tian comforted himself.0
After saying that, Ye Hongtian seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He widened his eyes and turned his head to look at the support pillar that he had just placed on the side.
He knocked on the support pillar with his hand. The sound was very strange. This kind of sound meant that the inside of the support pillar was hollow!
Bang!
Ye Hong Tian injected the Earth Law into the pillar, causing the entire pillar to explode. The sound was not small, but it was not very loud either, revealing a red stick hidden inside.
This staff was incomparably heavy. With Ye Hong Tian's current bodily strength, even without using true essence, he would still need to use 30% of his strength to lift it up.
And this was only raising the staff. If he were to swing it, then the strength required would be even more terrifying. It would be even more tiring than Ye Hong Tian using dual swords. Of course, this was under the circumstances where the sword wasn't as heavy as the staff.
"This staff... is there anything special about it?" Jun Qiongyao asked curiously from the side.
"Heavy!" Ye Hongtian very directly replied.
"Ah?"
"I say it's heavy!"
"Is there nothing else?"
"For the time being, I haven't discovered any other aspects that are special."
Jun Qiongyao couldn't help but roll her eyes at Ye Hongtian's answer. She noticed that Ye Hongtian's face suddenly became serious, so she asked Ye Hongtian about the stick. In the end, Ye Hongtian only felt it was heavy.
When Yu Fengxiao heard Ye Hongtian say that the stick was heavy, he wanted to test the weight of the stick. He grabbed the stick from Ye Hongtian's hand, and just as the stick left Ye Hongtian's hand, a translucent red wall appeared around them, surrounding them.
The three of them were surprised by the red wall around them. When they looked at the stick again, the stick had already been cut in half and Yu Fengxiao easily grabbed it with one hand.
