“Mr. Keegan, do you know exactly what kind of a place the unusual phenomenon that’s taking place is?” Gatlin asked.
“I-I…” Keegan was at a loss for words.
He wasn’t sure if he should reveal matters related to the ancient ruins to Gatlin.
Just as Keegan was stammering, unsure how to respond, a cultivator from the Quinlan family suddenly rushed in hurriedly. “Mr. Keegan, we’ve got a problem. The entrance to the ancient ruins on Mount Gonagles has been discovered and opened. Jared is also involved.”
The cultivator was drenched in sweat, seemingly having raced back to deliver the news.
Keegan had intended to stop him from speaking, but it was simply too late.
Gatlin slightly furrowed his brows and said, “Mr. Keegan, what’s going on? And what’s the deal with that ancient ruins?”
“Mr. Gatlin, rumors abound of another world existing within Mount Gonagles, which is said to house an ancient ruin. This is recorded within the Quinlan family’s ancient records. However, we’ve been unable to locate the entrance to the ancient ruins for nearly a century. The frequent occurrence of this unusual phenomenon must be related to that
ancient ruin. Now that the entrance to the ancient ruins has been discovered and even opened by someone, I’m sure there must be plenty of treasures inside.” Keegan had no choice but to tell the truth.
Gatlin’s eyes instantly lit up with excitement after he heard that.
“Mr. Keegan, where are those ancient records? Bring them here so I can thoroughly examine them,” Gatlin demanded.
“Mr. Gatlin, the ancient ruins have been discovered and opened by now. While you’re engrossed in those ancient records, I’m afraid all the good stuff might have been snatched away,” Seth uttered urgently.
“Exactly. Mr. Gatlin, we must set off as soon as possible. Plus, Jared is also there. It’s perfect since we can capture him at the same time,” Ruth urged as well.
“Ruth, Seth, you two head to that ancient ruins first. With your combined strength, capturing Jared should be no problem at all. However, try your best to avoid conflicts with others and restrain yourselves. The sudden occurrence of this unusual phenomenon and the appearance of the entrance are far from simple. I have to investigate to ensure it’s not a trap.” Gatlin was extremely cautious.
He feared that the unusual phenomenon’s
sudden occurrence was a setup for them.
After all, it seemed too much of a coincidence that such an event occurred as soon as they arrived.
Upon hearing that, Ruth immediately exclaimed with joy, “All right. We’ll go ahead and scout the area, and while we’re at it, we’ll nab that Jared.” Without Mr. Gatlin around, the two of us can do as we please, and we are no longer subject to any restrictions. With our combined strength, we’re virtually unbeatable in the eastern region. We’re almost peerless! If I could really find some treasures in the ancient ruins and even keep some for myself, wouldn’t that be absolutely thrilling?
Gatlin saw through Ruth’s intentions at a glance, but he didn’t call him out on it. Instead, he turned to Seth and said, “Seth, you need to gauge things better. Don’t be too reckless.”
“Rest assured, Mr. Gatlin.” Seth nodded.
After bidding farewell, Seth and Ruth headed toward Mount Gonagles. The two moved so quickly that they disappeared in a flash.
At that moment, at the entrance of the Celestial Battlefield on Mount Gonagles, Leftblind was idly sitting on a large rock, munching on popcorn.
A long sword lay by his side. In front of him
were over a dozen corpses. Those were the people who had refused to pay spiritual stone and had attempted to force their way in.
With Catalina’s restraints gone, Leftblind let loose, embarking on a killing spree since no one would dare to speak of that day’s events.
As Leftblind casually snacked on his popcorn, two illusory shadows suddenly approached swiftly. They brought about an invisible wave of aura that struck like a tidal wave..
That was because the speed of the two was incredibly fast, resulting in a shockwave. Under this shockwave, the rocks on the mountain shattered one after another.
