Chapter 743: Ruined City

Accompanied by a deafening buzzing sound, an old flying magic weapon spaceship passed through the sky hundreds of feet high and staggered to the mouth of a huge valley.

After the spaceship landed at the mouth of the valley, it seemed to be overwhelmed, or as if it had completed its mission, it shattered and turned into debris all over the ground. The movement of the spaceship's collapse immediately stirred up the smoke and dust all over the sky.

In the smoke and dust, three monks who looked very embarrassed walked out. The three monks were one man and two women. The man looked to be over fifty years old, with gray hair and beard, and his face was full of dust. The two women, one was about forty years old, still charming, and the other was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but she had a palm-sized black spot birthmark on her face, which looked very ugly. However, the young woman, wearing a baggy Taoist robe, looked very strange, but her skin was delicate, white and tender, and she looked very beautiful. If it weren't for the black spot birthmark on her face, she would be a beauty.

The old man looked at his spaceship breaking and collapsing, and couldn't help but smile and shook his head. The young woman said with some sadness: "Dad, our Feiyun ship is broken, what should we do in the future?"

The old man looked at the debris of the spaceship, raised his eyes and scanned the surroundings, and couldn't help but sighed. The surroundings were in ruins, with abandoned cities and villages everywhere. Many places on the ground were crisscrossed with deep gullies. At first glance, it was caused by some powerful monks who used special magical powers to dig something out of the ground.

In the ruins, only the valley in front of the three people was a good place. There was not only a faint spiritual energy in it, but also many monks. In the center of the valley, there was a large stone city. The monks who appeared here were obviously targeting that stone city.

"Husband, let's go quickly. Look, someone is coming again." The three of them were standing at the entrance of the valley and suddenly saw the light of a flying magic weapon flashing in the distance. It was obviously flying towards this valley, so the woman whispered a reminder.

The old man hummed and nodded, "Okay, let's go to the ruins city now. Leave here quickly. I believe that with our ability, as long as we can be successfully teleported to the Lingxu land, everything will be fine."

"Dad, you and mom are both Nascent Soul cultivators. Are you afraid of those people in this ruins?" Although the girl looked ugly, she was very innocent and lively. At this time, she saw the spaceship flying in the distance and said in confusion.

"Wan'er, don't talk nonsense!" The woman glared at the girl without waiting for her husband to answer, and then her eyes swept around. She breathed a sigh of relief, stroked her daughter's head with pity, and said, "There are seniors in the God Transformation Stage in this ruined city. When we reach the Lingxu Land, there are countless more powerful seniors. Dad and mom are nothing. You must never speak casually in the future, understand?"

"Well, I know, mother, Wan'er will not dare to speak nonsense in the future." The girl pursed her lips in grievance and replied.

The three of them immediately walked towards the huge stone city in the center of the valley, and entered the stone city in a moment. However, there were many shops on all sides of the stone city, selling various elixirs, spiritual herbs, monster materials, talismans and magic tools, but the strange thing was that although there were many people walking around, almost no one bought anything.

In the center of the stone city was a large-scale hall, and the goal of the three people's trip was obviously the hall. After entering the hall, the three found that there were many monks in the hall who looked as embarrassed as them.

Without exception, all of these people consciously lined up outside a huge teleportation array in the center of the hall, obviously they all wanted to take the teleportation array to go to various places.

Outside the teleportation array, there were six stone platforms several feet high, and on each stone platform, a Jindan stage monk in green robes sat cross-legged. These six people were obviously green-robed messengers guarding the teleportation array. The two green-robed messengers in the Jindan stage were responsible for guarding the entrance of the teleportation array, collecting fees, and distributing teleportation jade talismans.

Don’t look at the vast majority of the monks who need to be teleported here. The lowest cultivation level is also the Jindan stage, and many are even in the Yuanying stage. Occasionally, there are monks in the late Yuanying stage, but no matter what realm the monks are in, when facing these Jindan stage green-robed messengers, they all behave very humbly and dare not show any arrogance.

The reason why these people followed the rules so well was obviously not only because the identities of the monks who were in charge of the teleportation array were Lingxu messengers, but also because of the monk with long eyebrows and white beard wearing a yellow robe sitting on a throne a hundred feet away from the teleportation array in the hall.

This person was the city lord of the ruined city, a cultivator in the early stage of transformation, and his Taoist name was Changmei Weng.

Although there were many monks queuing here, because everyone came prepared in advance, the prepared teleportation spirit stones were obviously sufficient, so with bursts of light constantly flashing from the teleportation array, waves of people were teleported away.

Soon it was the turn of their family of three.

"Mr. Messenger, these are our three identity jade cards and teleportation fees. We want to teleport to Lingxu." The old man respectfully handed over three jade cards and a storage bag to one of the two Lingxu messengers.

The Lingxu messenger swept the three jade cards and the storage bag with his spiritual sense, frowned and said: "The identity is correct, but the number of your spirit stones is wrong."

The old man was stunned when he heard this and said, "Mr. Envoy, didn't you say that to be teleported to the Lingxu land, each person only needs to pay 500 high-grade spirit stones? There are 1,500 high-grade spirit stones in this storage bag. I am just a family of three, how could the number be wrong?"

"Humph, each of you two really only needs to pay 500 high-grade spirit stones, but if she wants to be teleported to the Lingxu land, she needs to pay 1,000 high-grade spirit stones." The Lingxu envoy pointed at the ugly girl impatiently and shouted coldly, "You old thing, are you going to leave or not? Don't you even know the rules of my Ruins City?"

"Ah? How could this be? But my daughter is only at the foundation-building stage, why does she need more money than the old man and his wife?" The old man's face flushed slightly, and he explained awkwardly.

"I say, what's wrong with you three poor bastards? Are you going to leave or not? If not, get on the road! Damn it, can't you see that I'm waiting in line to leave this damn place? With a Foundation Establishment stage burden, the teleportation fee will naturally be doubled. You don't even know the rules, and you come here to embarrass yourself." A disdainful curse came from behind, which seemed extremely contemptuous and impatient.

The Lingxu envoy looked over sharply, and the triangular-eyed monk who had just spoken behind him immediately smiled and pushed the old man's family of three aside, handed an identity jade card and a storage bag to the Lingxu envoy, and said: "Messenger, I want to teleport to the Lingxu land. This is my identity jade card and the teleportation fee."

The triangular-eyed monk was also a Yuanying early stage monk, but when he faced the Lingxu envoy in front of him, he showed an extremely flattering and ugly face, which looked very disgusting. However, it was obvious that no one here would say anything about his behavior. Everyone knew that as long as they could leave this place, someone would do something even more despicable. This person's performance was nothing.

The Lingxu envoy's spiritual sense swept over the jade card and storage bag, then he put the storage bag away, threw the jade card back to the triangular-eyed man, and gave him a special teleportation jade talisman, and said coldly: "Okay, go in and wait, when the number of people is enough, I will send you away immediately."

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you, envoy." Triangle Eyes put away the jade card and jade talisman, and stood in the teleportation array with a smile.

"Who else wants to be teleported to the Lingxu land, come quickly." The Lingxu envoy shouted to the people queuing behind.

When several people at the end of the line heard this, they rushed forward with great joy, handed over their identity jade cards and storage bags, exchanged for the teleportation jade talisman, and then went to the teleportation array to wait for teleportation to the Lingxu land.

This teleportation array is not small in scale, and can teleport at least 20 people at a time. However, there were obviously many cultivators who wanted to be teleported to the Lingxu Land in the hall, so the teleportation array soon had enough people.

The family that was squeezed out of the mountain pass saw that there were already twenty people on the teleportation array, but there were even fewer people in the hall. It was obviously unknown how long it would take to gather twenty more people to teleport to the Lingxu Land.

Just as the teleportation array was activated by the six people sitting outside and put in the top-grade spiritual stones, it lit up with bursts of light and was ready to teleport. Suddenly, something strange happened in the next moment!

The teleportation protective light that was originally about to wrap around the twenty people who needed to be teleported to the Lingxu Land suddenly collapsed and exploded. The twenty cultivators were immediately blown away by the exploded protective light spiritual power, and many of them were immediately injured.

The twenty cultivators who were about to be teleported didn't know what happened. They ignored their injuries and flew back to the outside of the teleportation array, loudly questioning the eight Lingxu messengers with dissatisfaction. The other people who were waiting for the teleportation in the hall also didn't know what happened, and they also gathered around.

The eight Lingxu envoys looked at each other, also not understanding what happened. However, the long-browed old man who had been sitting in the hall with his eyes closed suddenly appeared outside the teleportation array.

A strong pressure emanated from him, and the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet.

"Huh, what are you panicking about? This is someone using the teleportation array of other ruins continents. It was originally intended to be teleported to the Lingxu land, but it was mistakenly sent to the ruins city. Daoist friends who were mistransmitted inside, come out!" Long-browed old man snorted coldly, his eyes swept through the hall, and then looked at the teleportation array. In the hexagonal groove of the teleportation array, the spiritual power of the spirit stone required for teleportation was obviously not exhausted. At this moment, it still emitted a strong spiritual light, and people who were illuminated could not see what was in the teleportation array at all, and even the spiritual consciousness of cultivators below the God Transformation Stage could not scan it.

Obviously, this long-browed old man saw the situation inside clearly, and his long eyebrows twisted together, revealing a hint of confusion.

The family of three who were unable to teleport due to insufficient spiritual stones were now thankful that they had not entered the teleportation array. Otherwise, the girl in the foundation-building stage would have died because she could not resist the explosion of spiritual power.

The three of them looked at the teleportation array in shock. However, they saw a young man in a black robe with a cold face walking out of the teleportation array calmly.

After the young man glanced at the hall, his face was slightly startled, and then he frowned and looked at the long-browed old man.
