Chapter 441-445

Chapter 441: Open at Last

When Bai Luochu finished talking, Pei Qingfeng looked at the dragon totem on the door and noticed that the original cavity had now been filled up by a bundle of spirit qi. A shining ball of spirit qi radiated golden light and gave the dragon life-like appearance.

Just as Pei Qingfeng was preparing to ask a question, he realized the dragon's eye had moved. With the dragon's eye as the core, a golden light constantly extended along the dragon totem's pattern. In just a flash the entire dragon had been revealed.

At the same moment, a dragon's roar echoed again. The upper portion of the ruins appeared with the divine dragon's shadow. If people who didn't know what was happening was here, they would definitely think that a divine dragon had appeared.

"It is actually a dragon!" The first to exclaim was the knowledgeable elder earlier. After all, he was already old and it was truly a blessing for him to see a dragon when he was still alive. He felt that even if he died right now, he would have no regrets.

It was better not to mention the other young fellows who were acting as though they have never seen the outside world. They were staring at the shadow of the divine dragon as they stood rooted to their spots. They stared at it unblinkingly and one wouldn't be able to associate these country-bumpkin looking brats to members of prestigious sects. In fact, even the princes seemed like wooden chicken as they stared at the entrance of the ruins.

Despite that, Pei QIngfeng and Pei Rumo snapped out of it quickly. They knew that there was something more important for them to do. Bai Luochu was ready to enter the ruins at any time and they no longer had the luxury of time on their side.

"Are you ready? The entrance is about to open. Now that I am in a weakened state, you will need to carry me in." Bai Luochu turned to the side and said to Pei Qingfeng.

Pei Qingfeng widened his eyes and looked at her, "What's wrong with you! Look at the state you're in! Why don't you give up? No matter how many treasures there are inside, your body is the most important treasure!"

Bai Luochu responded with light laughter, "What is the problem? We are already at the crossroads of fate and there is no harm going all out! Even if there are many treasures in the ruins, we won't be gunning for any of them. I only want the Field Pearl Flower and nothing else matters. Do you understand? If your Second Highness wants to fight with everyone else for the other treasures, we will walk our separate ways."

Pei Qingfeng knew that there wasn't a chance of changing her mind now that she was determined to enter the ruins. Even if he used all his might to stop her from entering, she would probably find a way to sneak past him. However, he also learned one thing from this brief exchange. She trusted him more than anything...

"Can I go out now?" The instant Lu Wenshu saw the shadow of the divine dragon above the ruins, he knew that Bai Luochu managed to unlock the entrance. He took two steps forward and glared at Hua Sen with an expression darker than a thundercloud.

Seeing that there was no chance of stopping his senior brother, Hua Sen had no choice but to stop down. He brought along the rest of the disciples and followed behind Lu Wenshu.

"Where did martial nephew Lu go previously? I didn't see you and the members of your sect..." The elder who spoke to him before eyed him with suspicion.

Lu Wenshu bowed slightly and replied, "Recently, I have been feeling ill at ease during my cultivation sessions and nearly experienced cultivation deviation. I secluded myself in order to find inner peace and I barely managed to escape from a sorry fate. Due to the delay, I wasn't able to work together with everyone. I, Lu Wenshu, am at fault and I sincerely apologize."
