Chapter 733

Seeing Yang Kai’s attitude suddenly turned cold, the saintess also hummed. “I don’t expect you to save me anyway. You just take care of yourself!”

After saying that, she walked aside angrily, obviously not wanting to communicate with Yang Kai anymore.

Seeing her like this, Yang Kai secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He didn’t know what was going on below, maybe there was some huge danger. If this Saintess had been following him all the time, it would have been really difficult for him to act. It was far better to be alone and free, and he wouldn’t have to worry about the life and death of others.

Although this woman had asked Yang Kai to stay on the big ship before, they were just strangers who met by chance. Yang Kai had no obligation to protect her safety.

In Yang Kai’s opinion, this was just a girl who grew up in a greenhouse. Relying on her own abilities, she wanted to prove her strength. She had to suffer a little so that she would know how dangerous the world was.

After waiting for a long time, the martial artists of the seven-family alliance finally finished their discussion. Under the shouts of the sallow-faced old man, the selected outsiders were gathered into seven teams.

When Yang Kai signed up before, he also randomly chose a family. It was not until this moment that he discovered that the family he chose was actually the Hai family where the sallow-faced old man was.

There were about forty outsiders in this team, and each of them seemed to have good strength. Among them, there was one Transcendent Realm martial artist. The Saintess of the Nine Heavens Holy Land was not in this team, but in another family’s team.

The yellow-faced old man came to the crowd, cleared his throat, and swept a glance： “This old man is not talented. I am Hai Wangu, the protector of the Hai family in the Seven Families Alliance. This time, this old man will lead everyone into the ancient ruins at the bottom of the sea. Please follow this old man’s orders and don’t act recklessly, so as to avoid any unnecessary casualties！ Well, in addition to all of you, my Hai family will also send out more than a dozen shrewd and capable powerhouses to cooperate with all of you. Since you have chosen my Hai family, then this old man will do his best to protect your safety. But the ugly words are said up front. If any friend damages the interests of everyone at that time, don’t blame this old man for being cruel and ruthless.”

As he said this, he solemnly swept around, and everyone remained silent and did not say a word.

Hai Wangu nodded in satisfaction： “Then… each person’s life and death are up to fate. Let’s set off！”

As he spoke, he was the first to soar into the sky. More than forty foreign warriors and the dozen or so warriors of the Hai family gathered together and closely followed his steps, soaring towards the sea surface.

At the same time, the remaining six families also took action one after another.

While flying, Yang Kai was secretly sizing up the group of people sent by the Hai family. There were only about a dozen of them, but if Hai Wangu was counted, there were three Transcendent Realms. The rest were all at the peak of the Divine Movement Realm. Although the number was small, the overall strength was undoubtedly much stronger than this group of outsiders.

The Hai family had also sent out all their elites and occupied complete initiative.

The other six families basically had the same lineup configuration.

In a short while, everyone arrived on the sea surface. With a casual wave of his hand, Hai Wangu sacrificed a disc-shaped secret treasure. Silver flowed on the secret treasure exuding a strong energy fluctuation. It was undoubtedly a spiritual-level secret treasure.

“Everyone, please come closer. The old man will take you down.” Hai Wangu shouted to the crowd.

Everyone hurriedly approached him.

Hai Wangu instilled true essence into the disc-shaped secret treasure. Suddenly a layer of silver light curtain wraps the area within twenty zhang beside him. Under his control the light curtain sank rapidly, taking everyone into the seabed.

Seeing him show such a skill, many people’s expressions became solemn.

Although Hai Wangu didn’t display too powerful secret treasures and martial skills, just the ability to bring dozens of people into the sea together made people look at him with some admiration.

Observing people’s expressions secretly. A faint smugly appeared on Hai Wangu’s face.

All around were the blue sea waters, and it was dark and bottomless below. This deep made some people feel a little scared in their hearts. Many warriors who had never dived deep into the sea couldn’t help but swallow their saliva and quietly leaned closer to Hai Wangu’s side, as if they could find more safety.

Yang Kai turned his head and looked around, and found that bright lights were coming from all around. It was the warriors of the other six families who were using different methods to rush towards the bottom of the sea.

The silver light curtain created by Hai Wangu was extremely tough. The sea water flowed outside and could not penetrate even a little. Some colorful fish kept swimming past beside them. Everyone looked at them and pointed, feeling extremely novel.

As they dived deeper, the expression on Hai Wangu’s face gradually became less relaxed.

The sea was unfathomably deep. The deeper they went, the greater the pressure. Even though he was a Transcendent Realm powerhouse, maintaining such a large-scale secret treasure also required a huge amount of True Yuan.

The silver light curtain also seemed to be under great pressure, becoming less round than before, and the space was slowly shrinking.

The warriors who noticed this couldn’t help but change their expressions slightly and frowned, looking at Hai Wangu, wondering if he could hold on.

After diving for a while longer, Hai Wangu suddenly said, “Everyone, this old man wants to ask you for a favor. Can you use your True Yuan to help this old man maintain the operation of the secret treasure? If this continues, I’m afraid we won’t be able to reach the bottom of the sea.”

Hearing what he said, many people cursed in their hearts.

This old guy clearly still had spare energy, but he put on an extremely difficult look, clearly not wanting to consume too much True Yuan and maintain his own state. That’s why he wanted everyone’s help.

Seeing that the silver light had shrunk to the edge of his body, although the martial artists were reluctant, they had to take action. One by one, they quickly circulated their true yuan and attacked the secret treasure in Hai Wangu’s hand.

Hai Wangu nodded with a smile, accepted these true yuan, and converted them into the power of the secret treasure.

Yang Kai also made a show and sent out a few strands of true yuan. He sneered in his heart. Everyone was holding the idea of saving true yuan and was not very willing to exert their strength, hoping that others would consume their strength and energy and be able to gain an advantage in the next exploration.

Before reaching the bottom of the sea, they were already so calculating. Who knows what would happen when they really got there.

After accepting the true yuan of everyone, the silver light curtain indeed expanded a lot again.

But after a while, Hai Wangu begged again.

This happened many times, and they still didn’t see the so-called ancient relic. Everyone’s true yuan was consumed a lot, and they suddenly became impatient and questioned one after another.

Hai Wangu calmly explained： “Don’t worry, don’t worry. It’s almost here. The depth of the bottom of the sea is beyond your imagination.”

After continuing like this for about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, someone suddenly exclaimed and pointed downward, saying： “Look at the bottom！”

Following the direction he pointed, everyone looked is pleasing and couldn’t help but be shocked. Below there were colorful lights flashing, which were very beautiful. And in the surrounding of those lights a huge and boundless ruin was presented in front of everyone’s eyes.

“Ancient ruins！” Everyone couldn’t help but be excited.

“It seems we finally arrived.” Hai Wangu smiled slightly, and the speed of leading everyone to dive suddenly increased a lot.

Soon, everyone came to the periphery of the ancient ruins. Looking from the outside, this ancient ruin covered an extremely vast area, about dozens of miles in circumference. In the ruins, it was desolate, and there were many palace-like existences. The houses were neatly arranged, but most of them had collapsed, leaving only broken walls and ruins.

Moreover, the periphery of this huge ruin seemed to be wrapped by an inexplicable barrier. So even in the ocean floor the inside of the ruin was extremely dry and there was no trace of moisture.

Beside the ruin, countless corals swayed with the flow of the sea water. The corals emitted colorful lights, making the ruin look gloomy and terrifying.

Everyone couldn’t help but feel scared in their hearts, not knowing if there would be some dangers inside.

However, Hai Wangu was strolling in the courtyard, continuing to maintain the operation of the secret treasure and leading everyone directly into the ruin.

The barrier on the periphery could block the sea water, but it turned a blind eye to the invasion of the crowd. A group of dozens of people easily entered the ruins.

Hai Wangu took back the secret treasure, took a light breath, and his old face also became excited, with the light of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

“Since we are here, let’s act quickly. The other six groups of people should also be coming soon！” Hai Wangu said.

The faces of the crowd turned black. Looking at his relaxed and freehand appearance, everyone realized that they had all been deceived by this old fox before.

In order to maintain the operation of that secret treasure, most of the people here had consumed a lot, but Hai Wangu was still full of energy.

Now that he made such a proposal, it was obvious that he did not intend to leave time for the crowd to recover and adjust their breath.

While speaking, from different corners, the six groups of people really arrived one after another.

Having no time to curse, these martial artists took out their pills one after another and stuffed them into their mouths. While following Hai Wangu’s steps forward, they secretly circulated their cultivation methods to resolve the medicinal effects and supplement the true yuan they had consumed.

To avoid arousing suspicion from others, Yang Kai also made a show and casually threw a pill into his mouth.

After entering this ancient relic, Yang Kai felt that from a certain direction an extremely rich yang-attribute energy was flowing out. This yang-attribute energy filled the entire relic making it not only not cold, but also warm and comfortable.

However, he didn’t break away from the team and head in that direction. The ancient ruins were mysterious and unpredictable, and he also planned to follow the large group to explore the situation first.

As everyone walked, they couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.

Because the things in these ruins, at a glance, were extremely old, at least several thousand years old. No one knew which huge power it was in the past. In the end, due to the passage of time and the changes of the world, it sank to the bottom of the sea.

Everyone was closely watching the surroundings, with their spiritual senses released, detecting the places where there might be treasures.

While walking, Hai Wangu said, “If any of you find something, please hand it over to this old man. Don’t worry, when we leave here and return to the surface, this old man will take out all the things and share them with you. My Hai family will never embezzle the things here. Of course, the more effort you put in, the more benefits you will get in the end. This is also the case for my Hai family！”

He spoke righteously and vowed solemnly, but after suffering the loss just now, no one dared to believe him anymore.
