Chapter 357 Mysterious Sect Ruins

Seeking Change, 499th year, early October. ♦♦  ♦♦

It was already autumn. Although Fuyao was a vast country, Li Changxiao had been to most places for various purposes, such as finding the ten great divine essences, the ancient tomb of the God of Dreams, or his own breakthrough. He had a general understanding of the local customs and practices of various places.

Although he still had not found the ancient tomb of the God of Dreams, Li Changxiao unexpectedly discovered the ruins of a sect.

The ruins of the sect were also a place that Li Changxiao often visited. Li Changxiao always regarded the essence of the "old times" as treasures.

Once he discovered something, he would not easily miss it.

This incident was a coincidence. After hundreds of years of geological changes, or for some reason, the ruins of the sect had been buried underground, and a town was built on it.

Completely buried.

But later, due to an earthquake, the ground collapsed and a hole appeared, which was noticed by the residents on the ground.

Unfortunately, the next day after the ancient ruins appeared, they were immediately monopolized by the wealthy and powerful Wang and Zhao families in the town, together with local officials.

The residents of the town could not get close, but the rumors did not stop. They spread and spread until they reached Li Changxiao's ears. Li Changxiao, who heard the news, thought it was quite convenient, so he came to take a look.

Li Changxiao, who had just arrived in the town, visited the Wang and Zhao families on the same day after learning about the local situation, and showed his martial arts level. Soon, the two families were impressed and set up a banquet to entertain them.

The head of the Wang family, with a big belly, patted Li Changxiao's shoulder and smiled, but it gave people a feeling of smiling on the surface but not on the inside.

This head of the family started out as a black market merchant who stole life. He is nearly two hundred years old this year, but recently he began to find that it was becoming increasingly difficult to steal life on the black market merchant path.

So he began to slowly change.

He went to Tongqiao Dao first, opened up the acupoints and became a warrior, and then went to Sheshen Dao to become a doctor. He took the initiative to contract various strange diseases, and then cured them to pray for life to return. For this, he went to many terrifying places.

After half a lifetime of twists and turns, his life span is still decreasing day by day, and the ambition to live as long as the sky is gone. At this moment, he has already emerged old. Although his physique is still middle-aged, his spirit is actually weak.

He gives people a sense of awkwardness that he has a body but no soul, like a walking corpse.

Strictly speaking, he is also a legendary figure. Seeing that Li Changxiao is not weak, he waved his hand and asked him to lead several team members to enter the ruins together and work hard for him.

Every time he brought out a treasure, he would reward a large amount of silver.

Li Changxiao agreed with a smile, thinking that there is such a good thing. If it is useless to him, he will give it to the head of the family, which can be exchanged for a large amount of silver and can be free for a long time. If it is useful to him, he will keep it himself.

The next day.

The head of the Wang family led Li Changxiao to the vicinity of the ruins.

The so-called ruins are the middle of a street, where a collapse occurred and there was a hole slanting downwards. It was very deep and narrow, and only one person could pass through. It was very dark inside, and there seemed to be water flowing.

At the same time, the head of the Wang family solemnly introduced Li Changxiao to his two teammates on this trip.

A thin man with long fingers was walking on the road of stealing life - water ghost, which is an evil road.

This road is actually a long-term longevity profession that has existed for a long time.

This road of longevity is extremely cruel, and the way of stealing life has aroused public anger and is despised by everyone.

Their stealing ritual is to drag people into the water. Of course, it is not a simple dragging of people into the water.

Instead, they pretend to drown so that passers-by can see it and take the initiative to save their lives.

When they reach the middle of the river, they drag them into the water and drown them alive. This is considered to have completed the life-stealing ritual, gaining vitality and delaying aging.

There are some similarities between this and the death counselor of the sacrificial way. In essence, they all let others die for them, so that their life span will increase greatly.

People who take the water ghost road must be born with excellent water skills. It is for this reason that this water ghost is qualified to participate in this operation.

The water ghost introduced by the old man of the Wang family is very young, about 40 years old, and looks like a young man.

He greeted Li Changxiao with a smile and looked Li Changxiao up and down. The old man of the Wang family turned around and introduced another teammate.

When he talked about this person, his tone was obviously a little different.

It was a woman, very young, and her status seemed very noble. The clothes on her body were all very rare items.

Take her top for example, it was a silk and blue water dress, made of special silk and satin, which has a miraculous effect under water.

The white boots on her feet are also called water deer boots.

She was dressed beautifully and was the type that everyone loved, but the arrogance on her face destroyed some of her friendliness.

This woman was the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, named Zhao Qiu. The Wang family was in charge of this operation and the Zhao family was supervising it. Zhao Qiu was looking for an opportunity to gain experience.

In fact, before Li Changxiao, more than ten expedition teams had already dived to explore.

Some people even successfully brought back many interesting things from below.

Otherwise, how could the eldest daughter of the Zhao family end up so easily.

In front of the entrance, after a few polite words, this trip to explore the ruins was about to begin. First, the water ghost, who was the best at swimming, jumped down first and dived into the black water below.

The second was Zhao Qiu, and finally Li Changxiao. Before Li Changxiao dived, he drank a sip of wine, then jumped down. With a splash, he was surrounded by cold groundwater.

The water ghost led the way in front, and Zhao Qiu followed closely.

The equipment on Zhao Qiu was really strange. Li Changxiao saw that she could not swim at all, but she could come and go freely in the water.

Just like a fish.

The surroundings were very narrow, and only one person could pass through.

And during this time of parade.

Li Changxiao was thinking about the origin of this sect ruins in his mind.

Panlong Sect Ruins, Jiuxiang Temple Ruins... In the more than 800 years since the spiritual energy was exhausted, Li Changxiao has actually visited more than 70 sect ruins.

Even... it can reach hundreds.

Among them are well-known sects.

There are also unknown small sects.

Some are well-known, and some are not. Exploring sect ruins is nothing unusual for him.

His current location should be at the edge of Xuanyu. Among the four southern regions, Xuanyu is the largest, with an area equivalent to the sum of Baiyu and Fuyu.

Xuanyu borders Baiyu. In ancient times, Xuanyu was the most powerful region in Fuyao World, because countless strong men would fight with the prehistoric world here and leave their inheritance.

The former formation sect, Ganqing Sect, is also located in Xuanyu.

As he dived.

Li Changxiao screened out the possible sect ruins in his mind bit by bit.

Yangxuan Sect, Baixue Sect, Tingfeng Pavilion...

These sects that were once famous in Xuanyu were becoming less and less likely, and were gradually ruled out by him.

He gradually became curious.

Perhaps this sect ruins would be a little older than he imagined.
