Chapter 77: The Ancient City of Shicheng

  Today's second update~~~~~

  It's not just Yun Wu, but everyone's heart has an indescribable sense of shock.

  The direction their eyes were looking at, that city gate, had actually disappeared.

  In this way, the surroundings became quiet again, and there was no more sound of attack. It is reasonable to assume that the ancient city had triggered a powerful seal, isolating the inside from the outside.

  What's next? At the thought of this question, everyone is at a loss for words and can't come up with an answer.

  "My name is Bai Li, and this is my wife Lan Xue. The male cultivator who was being pursued by Jin Chi Da Peng earlier bowed to the crowd and said so. He wore a white robe as white as snow, holding a black sword, while his wife Lan Xue wore the same white robe, holding a white sword. Standing together, they were not breathtakingly beautiful, but they had an otherworldly aura about them."

  Among these people, two of them were the strongest. After they reported their names, others also followed suit and reported theirs.

  "My wife and I were traveling, this time in the mountains of the demon beasts, when we unexpectedly encountered this Golden Winged Peng. We carefully avoided it, but did not think that it could break through the seal of the Yang Realm and enter within. This time, it is fortunate that all of you are with us, suffering such great calamity, I apologize deeply, I apologize deeply." White Di was extremely powerful, yet humble and courteous, repeatedly apologizing at once.

  Others also returned the courtesy. With them standing in between, the tense atmosphere earlier had eased a lot.

  Bai Li's eyes were extremely sharp, and with one glance, he knew that there was a deep grudge among these people. He continued to speak,

  "We've mistakenly entered this mysterious ancient city, and it's unlikely we'll leave easily. In that case, everyone is in the same boat now. I'd like to propose a suggestion: before we can get out, we should work together and help each other; absolutely do not harm or kill one another, even if there were past grievances. Once we're out, we can settle those scores later. If everyone agrees with this intention, let's seal it with a handshake."

  Listening to him say this, Zhang Chong was the first to agree. He knew most of the people here and was thinking of a way to slowly resolve the issue. At that moment, he also smiled and said:

  "Brother Bai is absolutely right, I'm the first to agree."

  As he spoke, Lin Hai and the Eight Immortals also responded extremely quickly.

  "We also agree."

  For a moment, everyone nodded in agreement, and finally it was Lu Mudan's turn. She smiled and said:

  "In this case, the young woman also agrees."

  She moved forward with gentle steps, walked up to the front, stretched out her slender palm towards Baidi, and heard a crisp slap, which solved this matter smoothly.

  Next is the problem of how to get out.

  The room they were in was extremely large, and apart from the tables, chairs and cabinets, there was nothing else inside. On both sides of it, there was a door each, which wasn't locked. With just a gentle push, the doors opened.

  After discussion, everyone split into several groups and began searching carefully within the ancient city.

  After searching for half a day and walking through all the places I stayed, it was found that although this ancient city is very large, it only circulates internally and cannot go out.

  After spending three whole days, they still couldn't find any way out. During this period of time, they had also tried to use force to break through the wall, but it was clear that layer upon layer of seals had been laid down on the wall, and it was impossible to leave even a single mark on it, let alone imagine the degree of its power.

  And in this process, they couldn't help but feel fortunate that the ban was only for defensive purposes. If it had any hint of offense, they would probably be unable to withstand it.

  As for the origin of the ancient city, everyone was at a loss, completely unaware.

  That night, they sat together again, chatting very happily, but couldn't find a good way.

  "I've been in the Long Life Gate for many years, but I've never heard the master of Fengluo Gate mention anything about a mysterious ancient city in Yang Realm." Lin Ye shook his head and turned to Luodan.

  Luo Mudan smiled and said

  "Don't look at me, I also want to go out. However, as for the origin of this place, I am just like you, completely unaware."

  Listening to Luo Mudan's words, Zhang Chong couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. At this moment, he thought of Wang Daozhong from the Xuanji Ring and wondered if he knew about this place. As soon as he thought of this, he turned his head and asked Wang Daozhong.

  Wang Daozhong was also extremely busy during this period. Previously, Zhang Chong's extensive search had not only yielded a large number of crystal stones but also several three-grade pure yang artifacts. These pure yang artifacts were very useful for his cultivation, so recently, he had been practicing diligently day and night in the ring.

  Zhang Chong asked Wang Daozhong several times, and he reluctantly responded. However, when Zhang Chong asked the question, Wang Daozhong was suddenly shocked and stunned. After a long time, he finally said...

  "Look in that room for something with a totem-like pattern."

  As soon as Wang Daozhong asked this, Zhang Chong stood up and looked around the room. He finally saw a bronze mask hanging on a pillar, with an unfamiliar beast's face carved on it. Two sharp fangs protruded from its open mouth, giving off an intimidating aura.

  Although this thing is an inanimate object, the beast's facial features are carved so vividly and lifelike that it is also breathtaking.

  Zhang Chongfei flew up and took down the object. As soon as he held it in his hand, he felt a heavy feeling amidst the coldness. He described the shape of the mask to Wang Daozhong in great detail. After listening, Wang Daozhong let out a long sigh and said...

  "I, a cultivator, have been searching for this ancient city for many years, but I haven't found even half a clue. Who would have thought that you young man would have such an opportunity to come here?"

  "Don't be sentimental, just tell me what this place is."

  Wang Daozhong slowly began to narrate, and in his description, Zhang Chong finally understood that in ancient times, there were various ethnic groups, each cultivating their own unique skills according to their place of residence.

  When the Yang realm did not exist, this place was called Shacha Ancient City. Its area was only one percent of the current Yang realm. The people living inside were from the Shacha tribe. The people of this tribe had strong bodies and were known as repairers of martial arts. Their strength was astonishingly powerful. A grown-up repairer of martial arts could possess the power of ten elephants, and their body did not have any spiritual or magical powers. They called themselves the sons of the earth and could obtain great power from totems. In terms of power, they were indeed unmatched by anyone.

  However, when the cultivators of immortality and demonism rose to power, they could rely on their spiritual instruments to fly in the air. Moreover, the physical demands of martial arts were extremely high, so basically only those within the clan could cultivate to become strong. From then on, the practitioners of martial arts gradually declined.

  After the decline of Xiū Wǔ, due to a beast tide in the Yāo Shòu mountain range, the ancient city of Shí Chà also disappeared. The Xiū Xiān practitioners then built Dàng Yáng Jiè on these ruins. However, after searching for a long time, they were unable to find the ancient city of Shí Chà.

  "If the martial artist's kung fu is of no benefit to the cultivator, then why bother searching for this ancient city?" Zhang Chong's question hit the nail on the head.

  "This tribe, apart from cultivating martial arts, has a secret technique, which is the symbol array. Their symbol arrays are unmatched, and can be considered one of the most formidable formations." Wang Daozhong said slowly.

  This point Zhang Chong also understood clearly in his heart, he had been searching for several days and felt that there was a very strange place in this ancient city, but he didn't think that the strongest of the Shacha tribe, apart from martial arts, would actually be able to set up formations, no wonder they were trapped here.

  "Do you have a way out?" Zhang asked bluntly.

  "No" was Weng Dao's extremely concise response.
