C648 ambush
"Fourth brother, take me with you!"
Yang Junhao's eyes shone with excitement.
Yang Junshan slightly hesitated. Honestly speaking, with Yang Junhao's current strength, if he were to bring Yang Junhao to the Ruins of Buried Heavens, then Yang Junshan would definitely be considered as a powerful assistant. And Spiritual Master Qing Mu obviously wouldn't complain about having too many cultivators under his command, not to mention that he was from the Yang family.
Fourth brother, I've already refined the Lava Fire Aura. Now that the five suns have been fused together and the five types of Fire Aura are of decent quality, their power is even comparable to the divine abilities ranked 200 or so on the list of precious techniques and divine abilities. Yang Junhao pleaded again.
He had entered the lava lake at the same time as Spiritual Master Qi Yang, but the speed at which he absorbed and refined the fire energy was not inferior to a veteran cultivator like Spiritual Master Qi Yang. In just a year, not only had he refined and refined a fifth type of fire energy, but he had also mastered it, raising the Seven Sun Flowing Fire Arts to the level of a precious technique.
Yang Junhao spoke again, "Brother, I've heard from teacher Qiyang that the closest place to the foreign land is the Buried Heavens Ruins. There is only a layer of void that is separated by a net, and the void beyond is vast and endless, but it also contains a treasure that no one knows about, and there will often be treasures that pierce through the web and fall into the Buried Heavens Ruins. Among these treasures, there is a chance that it is the mysterious fire of the foreign lands, and the quality of the fire is even more likely to be above the lava fire astral."
Yang Junshan suddenly interrupted Yang Junhao and asked, "Did you learn all of these from a man named Qi Yang?"
Yang Junhao was slightly surprised, "Some of them are things that I thought of myself."
Yang Junshan shook his head and said, "Don't go, I think that old man is purposely plotting against you, not to mention that our Yang family's situation will never leave you. Although this trip to the Buried Heavens Ruins is a collective operation for the entire cultivation world, none of the forces sent most of their forces there, for fear that they might be ambushed by the alien cultivators who have already invaded the cultivation world."
Yang Junhao was puzzled, "Shouldn't these alien cultivators be the ones who went to reinforce the invaders?"
Yang Junshan smiled as he explained, "You have never been to the Ruins of Heaven, and I have only heard from your third uncle that the Ruins of Heaven are like a huge maze, with countless exits and tunnels. As long as the alien cultivators fall into the Ruins of Heaven, we can't stop them, and at most, we can only try to reduce the number of cultivators that invade the Jade Province's cultivation world."
Yang Junhao seemed to understand him. Although he didn't fully understand what Yang Junshan meant, he trusted his fourth brother a lot. Moreover, Yang Junshan had already explained so much to him, and that was enough.
Yang Junshan thought for a moment, still said with worry, "Take it easy in the wilderness town, don't be greedy and expel all the alien cultivators, or else you will have to argue with the Heaven Shaking Sect again. Now that the population is short, remember to save the population of every village in the wilderness town as much as possible."
After Yang Junshan left Xishan Village, he first went to the Magnetic Birth Mountain. After meeting up with Daoist Master Qing Shuang, Zhang Yue Ming, and Ning Bin, he went to the southern part of Yu City where he met up with the six men from the Tan Xi Sect.
The six immortals of the Tan Xi Sect were led by Old Daoist Yan. Below them were the Profound Handle Stage Spiritual Master Qing Yu, the Qi Condensation Stage Spiritual Master Yan Da Zhi, and three other cultivators from the powerful clans of the Xi'an prefecture.
Not long after, the Heavenly Wolf School's Astral Nova cultivator, Spiritual Master Greywolf, brought his sect's Adept Icewood Wolf and two powerful families' Adept Sage Realm cultivators to join forces. The number of Adepts in the Avalon of Five Elements had reached fourteen.
Yang Junshan also exchanged greetings with Ning Bin, Daoist Master Yan Da Zhi, and the rest. However, from the looks of it, they weren't here yet. Old Daoist Yan, Spiritual Master Qing Mu, and Spiritual Master Hui Lang were all gathered together, discussing something in a low voice.
After a moment, another two streaks of light arrived from the north. The first seemed to be extremely familiar with Daoist Master Qing Shuang and the other cultivators of the older generation, and only after being introduced did they find out that it was the Ouyang Family's Xuan Core Realm cultivator from Yu City.
Seeing that the person didn't intend to introduce him, Yang Junshan smiled and said, "Brother Qingfeng, I hope you've been well since we parted at the Coldjade mountain range."
A few of the people nearby all looked over to see Daoist Master Qingfeng. He first froze when he saw Yang Junshan and then said with a smile, "So it's Brother Yang."
Yang Junshan pulled him along and introduced him to the few Spiritual Masters around him, "Come, come, let me introduce you to everyone. This is Daoist Master Qing Feng. Eh? I heard that brother Qing Feng has recently become one of the leaders of Yu City's Rogue Cultivator Alliance?"
After all, there would be a tough battle in the future. At that time, it was not certain who would be fighting alongside whoever, and it would not be a bad thing to have a friend now. Moreover, Daoist Master Qingfeng was a rogue cultivator, but he had the cultivation of the Astral Reaching Realm, so his strength couldn't be that bad.
Only Yang Junshan secretly curled his lips, this fellow was also someone who played the pig to eat the tiger, back in the Cold Jade Mountain Range, this man was already at the Profound Handle Stage, and now, after so many years, he had become one of the founders of Yu City's Rogue Cultivator Alliance.
However, Yang Junshan was more interested in Daoist Master Qingfeng's methods of concealing his cultivation. One must know that there were three cultivators at the late stage of the realms. Even though Old Daoist Yan had reached the Supreme Astral Realm, he was unable to discover Daoist Master Qingfeng's hidden cultivation.
Not long after the two Spiritual Masters from Yu City had arrived, another two streaks of light rushed over from the south. They were the Seven Spirits Sect's Daoist Master of the Mysterious Constellation Realm, Adept Qi Ling, and the powerful Spiritual Master of the Subordinate Region.
At this moment, the number of Mortal Realm cultivators had already reached eighteen. It was obvious that Old Daoist Yan and the other two knew what to do, so they said, "We've almost gathered all of them. Let's go first. We'll discuss what we should do next on the way."
With that, Old Daoist Yan waved his hand and a mist-like veil spread out, enveloping the eighteen Spiritual Masters within. Instantly, all of them, along with their auras and Spiritual Energy fluctuations, were completely concealed.
While everyone was still in shock, Old Daoist Yan and the other two Late Mortal Realm cultivators' footsteps suddenly lit up. He said, "Everyone, don't leave the area ten zhang around this old man. Our tracks can be covered up by the Raccoon Creek Sands."
Upon hearing these words, everyone flew off one by one, following the three Spiritual Masters as they headed northwest of Yu City.
Adept Qi Ling couldn't help but ask, "Senior Yan, may I ask who this magic treasure is?"
Old Daoist Yan smiled and said, "This item wasn't something my Tan Xi Sect gave us. It was given to us by a senior, able to hide our tracks."2
"It was bestowed by a senior." These words caused everyone to feel shocked in their hearts. Ever since several elders of the Heaven Shaking Sect had fallen, old Daoist Yan could be considered the highest ranked person in the cultivation world of the Jade Province, and he himself was at the Great Astral Realm. Then, what kind of existence would he be able to become a senior for?
It was obvious that they had already heard of this matter and could not help but secretly regret that they had come here too late. Otherwise, with his status as the Sect Leader of the Seven Spirits Sect, he would not have known about this matter no matter what.
This time, the various sects in the Yuzhou Cultivation World have formed three groups. With me, Jade Sword Sect's Non-Xiao Daoist Master and Yuxiao Sect's Daoist Master as the leaders, they lead you all in the three most likely locations to appear in the Buried Heavens Ruins. However, the alien cultivators do not know of the most likely locations, so once the location is not too fixed, they will definitely rush here in a chaotic manner.
"Everyone, many of the people here have entered the Ruins of Heavenly Tomb before, even the juniors who have never been there before have heard of it from their seniors. They should have some understanding of the situation inside, and that is just a maze, it is not realistic to attempt to assassinate all of the alien cultivators. The only thing we can do is to protect ourselves and try our best to kill the alien cultivators!"
Yang Junshan and the others were located to the south of Yu City, where the entrance to the Buried Sky Ruins had appeared six times before. Adept Lin Xiao was leading the other sects in an ambush in the southwest of Yu City. The entrance to the Buried Heaven Ruins had appeared five times in the southwest of Yu City, while Adept Xiao was leading the Jade Sword Sect and the various sects of Lang County in an ambush somewhere in the east, where the Buried Heaven Ruins were said to have appeared seven times.
Although the three groups were in different positions and extremely far apart from each other, once the Buried Sky Ruins opened in one location, a huge spatial ripple would attract the other two groups to come over.
Of course, there was also the possibility that the entrance to the Buried Heavens Ruins was not located in any of the three directions. If that was the case, then all the arrangements would be for naught.
Due to the cover of the Raccoon Sand in the sky, the spot where everyone was standing appeared to be like a cloud that was drifting with the wind. Moreover, their shape was constantly changing in the air.
Three days had passed, and during this period, there were quite a few alien cultivators scouting the area. However, they did not find any traces of Yang Junshan and the rest of the eighteen cultivators.
Three days later, the sky shook and the clouds in the sky changed.
Old Daoist Yan's expression was grim as he said, "He's here, he's on our side!"
