Chapter 293: Chapter 293- Opening of the Ancient Monolith

Though there is no guarantee that they would recognise them just because they bid for an item in the auction. But still, if one thought about it rationally, most of the influential clans and strong experts were sitting in the upper section of the hall.

The ones sitting in the middle section were practitioners who didn’t belong to any sect or were opportunists who were attracted over by the allure of treasures.

There is no way they could pull out that kind of sum out of nowhere. So if a bid over thirty Amethyst profound stones came from the middle section, it would naturally evoke some suspicions.

The rational answer one could come to was that they were either some powerful experts who came from a distant region or were people who couldn’t reveal their identity.

Given that the trio already had information on Tang Xun’er, it wouldn’t be hard for them to connect the dots and come to a conclusion.

They had outwitted Bai Changfeng and the others after much difficulty and he even especially made sure not to bump into them by marking them with his tracker pin for the past few days.

There was no way he was going to allow her to reveal their identity at this point when they were so close to entering the ancient sect.

"No, I am happy with just the Star Whisker Grass" He spoke, ending the situation there.

"Hmm, alright" Although she didn’t know she was unknowingly about to expose them, she nevertheless acquiesced with Yang Chen and stopped making a scene.

The auction proceeded, more and more items came up to the auction, only to be all bought by the influential sects and clans. During this whole time, Tang Xun’er behaved very well and didn’t make a sound.

Finally, after the highlight of the auction which was a Low Tier Heaven Grade body tempering battle skill, the auction came to an end.

"Finally, tomorrow it’s going to be the day the barrier around the ancient monolith weakens and we can enter the ancient sect. I wonder what kind of place it is"

On their way to the inn, Tang Xun’er couldn’t help but chatter happily. Like a newborn fawn who was looking and experiencing everything for the first time.

"This is not a picnic" Walking beside her, Yang Chen remarked.

"Picnic? What is that?"...

"It... means that you need to be careful. As per that Xuan sect member the inside of the ancient sect is even more dangerous than the barrier outside".

"He is right Xun’er. The means that the people of the ancient times possessed especially a sect from that era were all extremely powerful. Even the weakest of traps or formations laid there can easily kill experts such as Battle Overlords as if they were ants. As such, you cannot relax your guard"

Yun’s voice sounded out. His tone was grimmer than usual.

Hearing his caution, Tang Xun’er’s body stiffened for a second. Even Yang Chen was no exception. Although he had been trying not to underestimate the dangers of the ancient sect, but from the demonic spirit’s words, it seemed he had still been looking down on it.

To be able to create traps that could easily kill a Battle Overlord realm practitioner, what kind of concept was that?

He had tussled with a practitioner on that level before and knew how tough they were, all the attacks he basically threw at them had no effects. The Battle Overlord realm was still quite a level away from him as such, he could only look up at them.

To be able to kill such powerful practitioners as easily as ant, wouldn’t it mean that they would die even more easily if they fell into a trap? How could he not be shocked at those words?

"Hehe, don’t worry... where there is danger, there is reward too. If there really is an ancient sect there, there would be many treasures that would be worth taking the risk"

Feeling as if he had sufficiently scared the two, the demonic spirit added to lighten their mood.

"Really, Yun.. sometimes you are too much" Tang Xun’er spoke in indignation.

While the girl and the demonic spirit bickered, A peculiar thought arrived in Yang Chen’s mind.

If the Battle Overlord realm was just an ant for the ancient sext, how powerful were the practitioners of the sect?

What’s more, how did this ancient sect which possessed these powerful practitioners, even fall?

"You are thinking too much. The you right now needn’t concern yourself about the matter of the past and should focus more on what’s in front of you. You are going inside an ancient sect that is filled with danger and must compete with these influential clans and sects to get the inheritance. Focus on that"

Just as he was about to get lost in those thoughts of his, Amon woke him up.

That’s right, what he must focus on right now is to get the treasures and inheritance from the ancient sect and increase his strength. Once he had ample strength, he could then worry about these matters.

After Yang Chen and Tang Xun’er returned to their rooms, they patiently waited for the next day to arrive.

It wasn’t just them, the entire desert ruins was waiting for the next day and for a time, the entire place became as silent as a cemetery. However, under the cover of the night, one could feel the atmosphere inside the ruins boiling over from all the suppressed excitement.

For all the people and factions that arrived at the desert ruins, the wait was unbearable. Time ticked by, and finally the day that everybody was waiting for, arrived.

However, unlike your usual day when the city would be bustling with activity and merchants selling their wares and practitioners lining up before their stores, today everything was different.

Streets ran empty, all shops closed with not even a soul to be seen. It was as if the entire desert ruin had been deserted.
