Chapter 1299 Follow and Learn

The moment he stepped into the Ni Lin Ancient Ruins, Ye Tianming's true dragon blood and essence boiled violently, and the scene before him distorted and reorganized.

On the barren red Gobi Desert, tens of thousands of broken dragon bones are suspended, each emitting an ancient aura of oppression. The mountains in the distance are actually made of solidified dragon blood, with strange runes flowing on the dark red surface.

"Be careful! The spiritual energy in this place is corrosive!"

As soon as Xuan Xingzi's warning sounded, the protective spiritual energy shield of a Qin family disciple began to crackle.

In just a blink of an eye, the edge of his robe turned into ashes.

The geniuses from the five great families in Kyoto looked normal. The young man leading the Ye family raised his hand and summoned a red-gold shield. He sneered and said, "People from the Tianxian Academy, have you never seen such a scene?"

"Just you guys want to fight for the opportunity?"

The young man sneered and quickly caught up with the team in front.

Other aristocratic families also showed off their abilities. Their ranks mysteriously flashed through the void and quickly moved forward.

A wisp of Xuan Xingzi's spiritual power bounced forward, and the invisible force instantly swallowed it up.

The powerful devouring force frightened everyone.

If someone stepped in directly, he would probably be injured.

Everyone stopped unconsciously, and Lan Xinyao frowned slightly. Her mind was working rapidly, observing the situation around her.

The Ni Lin Ancient Ruins is an important forbidden area for the dragon clan, and the dangers therein should not be underestimated.

These aristocratic families have been high and mighty for too long, and sooner or later they will suffer losses, so there is no need for her to argue about it.

Looking around, he saw dense lines on the ground, like the scales on a dragon, extremely strange.

Lan Xinyao tapped the ground with her toes, and invisible spiritual energy condensed into fine needles and shot into the distance, like a guiding light.

The spiritual energy glowed faintly blue in the dragon scale patterns on the ground, and the corrosive spiritual energy avoided the light path as if in fear.

"I see!"

After the test, Lan Xinyao's eyes were shining with brilliance, and she could see the trajectory of the dragon pattern within a hundred feet radius.

Those seemingly messy lines are actually the tracks of the dragon clan's unique Sky-Wandering Steps.

Obviously, only by following the rhythm of the dragons' walking can one avoid murderous intentions!

"Follow my footsteps!"

After confirming the path, Lan Xinyao's figure flashed, and her spiritual power flashed like an ice-blue phoenix. The cold air instantly spread along the lines, outlining a winding ice crystal path on the ground.

"go!"

Lan Xinyao jumped onto the Ice Phoenix phantom.

The others also mobilized their spiritual power and followed closely.

Everyone ran wildly along the ice crystal path, and the space behind them shattered like pieces of glass.

When everyone finally got rid of the collapsing space behind them, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Qianjue stroked his sword and laughed: "As expected of Senior Sister Lan! If it weren't for this Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart, we would have definitely fallen here today!"

Su Yaoyao looked at the dark red mountains in the distance, her eyes full of longing: "It is said that when a real dragon falls, the reverse scale is hidden in the dragon's head. As long as you go deep into the belly of the ancient ruins..."

"That's right! As long as we find the dragon head, the reverse scale will be within our reach!" Xuan Xingzi twirled his beard and nodded, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.

Everyone quickened their pace. The ice crystal trail continued to extend beneath their feet, getting closer and closer to the depths of the ancient ruins.

However, just when everyone thought victory was in their grasp, Lan Xinyao suddenly staggered, and the spiritual ice crystal in front of her shattered.

Her face turned pale instantly, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. "No... There is a real dragon's pressure here, and the correct passage is completely hidden!"

Everyone suddenly became visibly panicked.

"what?!"

"Sister, your Nine-Aperture Delicate Heart cannot be cracked? Then what should we do?"

Chu Qian unconsciously clenched his sword tightly, frowning: "Are we going to be trapped here?"

The corrosive force around was so terrifying that even Master Xuan Xingzi's spiritual power could not resist it.

Once they lose the correct path and fall into the force of erosion, it is unknown how long they can hold on.

I dare not imagine, once the corrosive force enters the body, will I still be alive?

In an instant, everyone was shrouded in panic again.

Lan Xinyao's face also looked extremely ugly.

If they can't find the right way out, let alone waiting for Ni Lin, even if they want to leave, it will be a trouble!

In the crowd, Ye Tianming remained silent.

He looked around and released his spiritual power quietly.

The spiritual consciousness is like a golden thread, exploring in the twisted space.

Soon, the power of the soul locked onto an area not far ahead.

The steps of the Xiao family members seemed random, but they were always able to avoid the invisible murderous intent...

A thought suddenly came to my mind.

"follow me!"

Ye Tianming suddenly spoke.

His eyes were fixed in the direction of the Xiao family.

Lan Xinyao was slightly stunned, and the others also looked at Ye Tianming in astonishment.

Lei Mingzi sneered and said sarcastically: "Who do you think you are? You are ranked last and you dare to ask everyone to listen to you!"

Xuan Xingzi raised his hand to stop Lei Mingzi's ridicule, and his eyes fell on Ye Tianming, with scrutiny in his eyes: "Ye Tianming, if you act rashly, something unexpected may happen. If you have any ideas, you might as well tell everyone."

His eyes were solemn, and it was obvious that he was unwilling to take risks in this dangerous place.

The dragon blood essence in Ye Tianming's body surged slightly, and his golden consciousness explored the surroundings like a spider web. After confirming that there was no danger, he said in a deep voice: "Teacher, look..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction where the Xiao family members were leaving. Those figures in white seemed to be taking steps casually, but they were always able to avoid the murderous intent at a subtle angle the moment they stepped into the corrosive spiritual energy.

"The five great families in Kyoto have profound backgrounds, and their understanding of the Ni Lin Ancient Ruins is incomparable to ours. When Senior Sister Lan just cracked the dragon pattern path, Xiao Ningxue, the Saintess of the Xiao family, was even more relaxed. They must have more secret clues. As long as we follow them, perhaps..."

Lan Xinyao's beautiful eyes lit up slightly, and her Nine Apertures Exquisite Heart worked rapidly before she nodded and said, "Junior Brother Ye is right. The Xiao family has a deep foundation, and they can walk on flat ground in this environment full of corrosive forces. There must be another way."

However, at the end of the conversation, her tone became serious again, with a trace of worry in her eyes: "If I follow you rashly, once you are discovered, I'm afraid the Xiao family will take action directly given their temperament."

"That's right! These children from aristocratic families look down on us. If they find themselves being followed, a fierce battle is inevitable!"

"If we follow them like this, won't we be asking for trouble?"

Lei Mingzi snorted coldly, quite dissatisfied.

Everyone unconsciously clenched the spirit swords in their hands, and their expressions became solemn.

An atmosphere of anxiety spread among the team.

There are indeed pros and cons, and it is difficult to choose.

Ye Tianming suddenly activated his skills, and a hazy golden mist rose from his body. The mist perfectly merged with the surrounding corrosive spiritual energy: "I use the blood of the real dragon to cover up my aura, and then use Senior Sister Lan's spiritual power to create an illusion. As long as we keep a distance of 100 meters, the Xiao family may not be able to detect it."

He looked at Lan Xinyao with trust in his eyes, "Besides, the Xiao family is eager to find Ni Lin at the moment, and will never waste time exposing their own route in order to drive us away. I wonder if everyone dares to give it a try?"
