Luo Cheng completely withdrew his aura and relied on the strength of his body to follow the direction that the person in blue went.
Luo Cheng dashed frantically, even without using the Qi in his body, his body's strength was so great that his speed was shocking.
The person in blue had a very fast speed, he had already disappeared without trace. Luo Cheng could only move forward in a rough direction. If his luck was bad, then he would never find him.
After about an hour, Luo Cheng heard people chatting in low voices, he quickly stopped and carefully listened. After determining the direction of the voices, he proceeded forward once again.
The voices were getting clearer and clearer, Luo Cheng jumped unto a big tree and finally saw the person speaking. In an area, about 300 meters in front of him, the person in blue from earlier and a group of people were speaking in hushed voices.
Strange, these are people from the Xiao Clan, why are they here?' They were speaking to the person in blue, and they wore clothing that were embroided with a certain pattern, the symbol of the Xiao Clan. They were one of the smaller clans in the Divine Dao Alliance, there were three white clouds embroided on the chest area of their brown robes.
What might their motive be for entering so deep into the Great Zhou Empire's territory? How did they even get here without being noticed?
"Elder Li, where is the Tomb of the predecessor you mentioned? we have been walking for a long time and i am running out of patience." The voice of the person in a blue robe carried a trace of anger as he spoke impatiently.
The person who was addressed as Elder Li appeared to be more than four hundred years old, and his cultivation had already reached the peak of Houtian Realm long ago. He was an Elder of the Xiao Clan.
At this moment, when he faced the person in blue, he did not dare to slight him at all, instead replying respectfully. "Senior, don't worry. That tomb was accidentally discovered by one of my clan members when we came to purchase Bloodstones from Bloodstone City. We should arrive there in another fifteen minutes."
The person in blue just coldly snorted. "Then lead the way!"
The cave of a predecessor--it was likely that powerful Martial Techniques, Cultivation Techniques and Weapons were stored there. There were often legends of great battles that took place in the past Era of Wars between humans and otherworldly beings. Such battlefields became Ancient Ruins, Tombs and Secret Realms and were considered treasue troves by those who were privy to such information. Such legends of some coincidental discovery of a predecessor's cave that eventually lead to great cultivation gains for the individual who lucked out, and even some major powers became powerful because of such discoveries. The Bloodstone Forest also had such Ruins but has almost been cleared out by the Great Zhou Empire.
"Should i follow them?" Seeing that the group of people had already gone far away, Luo Cheng thought to himself, and then decided to.
Luo Cheng leaped down from the tree and gently landed on his feet, then used all of his strength to keep up.
Ten minutes later.
Luo Cheng quietly rushed over and saw them standing beside a cliff in front.
The person in blue laughed coldly and threw out a fist on its stone wall. Cracks extended out from where that person punched the wall, spreading in all directions, and the cracks kept getting larger and larger, with pieces of rocks continously falling off the cliff.
When all the rocks finished falling, it revealed a hidden stone door with Purple Rune carvings engraved on it. The purple runes had a certain glow to it and a powerful repelling aura.
"A Rune Formation!!" Elder Li shouted out in suprise.
"This is a Rune Formation made by a Purple Cloaked Rune Master in the Xuan Soul Realm. We can't break through it unless we invite a Purple Cloaked Rune Master to help. I should return to the clan and report my findings. Cover up the stone door and keep what you saw a secret, unless you want your clan to be destroyed." The blue robed person said coldly.
"Senior, don't worry. We won't dare to disclose what we have seen." Elder Li said ingratiatingly.
"Humph" snorted the blue robed man coldly and then he flew away.
"Get to work now and coverup this stone door. And if anyone should disclose what they saw today, then i'll kill you myself." Elder Li said coldly to his clan members.
"Yes, Elder Li." they answered in unison and started working on closing the stone door.
Luo Cheng who was hiding in the distance saw what transpired and was also suprised.
"The treasures in the tomb of a Purple Cloaked Rune Master in the Xuan Soul Realm would be beneficial to any major power if known. I should report what transpired here to father, might also use this as an opportunity to increase my influence in the family.
Luo Cheng returned quietly through the path he came from.
