What had been a balanced situation was abruptly disrupted by the sudden appearance of these few individuals. Everyone from both sides stood agape, staring at these cultivators radiating a powerful aura.
The faces of the Three Great Families standing by the entrance were grave. A Hong Family Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak level glared at these young individuals and asked coldly, "Who are you? Are you intending to oppose the Three Great Families?"
"Heh, the Three Great Families, what big words!" Zhao Qing's face was icy, glaring at the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Hong Family. "Move aside… or face death."
"On what grounds? You command, and we're supposed to obey?" A volatile tempered, initial stage Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Hong Family, compelled to confront them despite the suppressing influence of the Golden Elixir cultivator's aura, fearlessly stepped forward to rebuke.
Zhao Qing's firm face revealed an expression of disdain. Without hesitation, he unleashed an attack- a flash of light shot towards the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The Foundation Establishment cultivator hadn't anticipated that this man would resort to violence so quickly. Before he could react, the flash of light pierced directly through his shoulder.
"AHH!" This Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Hong Family howled in agony, clutching his shoulder where it had been punctured. Fresh blood seeped from between his fingers.
"That was a warning. Move aside, or face death." Zhao Qing's voice was low and commanding.
Golden Elixir cultivators were immensely powerful. Not only was their internal energy exceptionally strong, but their magical artistry was also significantly more potent than Foundation Establishment cultivators. The two sides were a world apart.
Even though there were more Foundation Establishment cultivators blocking the entrance than there were with Zhao Qing, if it came to a fight, it would likely take less than the duration of a stick of incense for the latter to slaughter the former!
The peak level Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Hong Family gazed coldly at Zhao Qing, and signaled the others to refrain from talking. He declared, "Alright, friend, are you brave enough to reveal your name? Consider our feud underway from today!"
Zhao Qing slightly furrowed his brows, looking at the peak level Foundation Establishment cultivator. "What makes you think... that you're qualified to say that to me?"
Smirking coldly, Zhao Qing continued, "What would it matter if I did reveal my name? No one has ever scared the Blood Demon Sect out of anything."
At his words, the Three Great Families experienced a collective loss for words.
All expressions bore signs of disbelief. Some cultivators were even struck dumb, turning pale.
The higher their levels of cultivation, the graver the fear radiating from their faces.
"Blood Demon Sect… You, you're a member of the Blood Demon Sect?" The peak level Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Hong Family felt a chill creeping over him. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that in this remote area, a remnant historical site would attract the attention of someone from the Blood Demon Sect.
This was turning into a serious situation!
In the entire Spirit Realm, those who hadn't heard of the Blood Demon Sect were truly few and far between!
It was a truly top-tier sect!
With tens of thousands of disciples, all of which were extraordinarily gifted cultivators.
The sect's patriarch was even more remarkable, with deep-rooted connections to the upper realms.
The independent cultivators were equally startled by the words 'Blood Demon Sect', however their faces soon changed to a more schadenfreude smile.
"Ha ha, the people of the Three Great Families have certainly met their match this time, let's see them continue to act so arrogantly!"
"Exactly! Instead of just bullying us small-time cultivators, why don't they take on the Blood Demon Sect?"
"Even if they had the guts, they wouldn't dare to go against the Blood Demon Sect!"
The peak level Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Hong Family glanced at the others at his side, then lifted his head to stare at Zhao Qing, "Since you are disciples of the Blood Demon Sect, in this case, we can give face. Move aside!"
Then, the people blocking the entrance promptly parted to allow passage.
Zhao Qing, Wu Man, Sun Hai, Sun Song, and Song Wan casually strolled through the way. They completely ignored the complex looks coming from the cultivators of the Three Great Families.
To them, this so-called Three Great Families was not worth mentioning!
The thousand or so independent cultivators who saw Zhao Qing and his party enter also began to stir restlessly, making their move towards this direction.
"They can go in... but not you!" The peak level Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Hong Family gave a cold smile as he watched the group of cultivators inching toward them, his eyes landed on the leading few, "Have you forgotten the lesson you learned three years ago? Since we share the same city, I'll give you all one chance. Wait patiently for an hour and then we can talk!"
The leading cultivators, from mid to small-sized families within Jinxiu City, were not really weak. At least they were not that much weaker than this Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Hong Family.
However, at this moment, they were hesitant to take any action. There might be treasures inside the ruins, but there might also be nothing. Even if there were, considering the few people who just entered, they might not be able to get anything. If they were to offend the Three Great Families, they were afraid they might lose their footing in Jinxiu City...
So, even though the crowd was excited and their hearts were filled with hatred toward the Three Great Families, particularly the people of the Hong Family, when it came to facing them head-on, they didn't quite have the courage.
Just then, an incredibly sharp noise suddenly rang out from a distance.
Some of the cultivators with lower levels of cultivation were injured on the spot by this sharp noise. Blood flowed from their seven orifices and before they had time to cover their ears, they fell from the sky. Wang Wu, who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, was one of the most vulnerable.
He was only a bit stronger than the those in the Innate Realm, but under this sharp noise, he completely lost control and fell from the sky.
Everyone's faces… changed instantly!
Especially those few Golden Elixir Realm cultivators in the crowd of independent cultivators, they were so scared they turned to run!
Humm!
The sharp noise came closer and closer, moving at an incredible speed!
Almost instantly, it had reached them.
A man dressed in black with disheveled hair charged in, like an elephant crashing into an ant nest!
Barging through!
Those cultivators who hadn't been knocked out of the sky by the sound and hadn't managed to run away were hit by him. Their bodies instantly shattered into pieces, transforming into a mist of blood that filled the sky!
"That's a Primordial Infant! It's a Primordial Infant Patriarch!" The peak level Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Hong Family shrieked out a warning in horror.
However, his voice abruptly ceased.
Because this disheveled black-clothed man charged straight in, slapped him in the face, and blew his head off!
"Shut up!"
That cold voice once again shock the Three Great Families blocking the door so badly that they vomited blood and fell from the sky.
Then, the man charged straight through the stone doors.
By the time he had vanished, the scene was a complete mess!
More than a dozen people had been outright crushed to death by his aura. Besides, the few Golden Elixirs who had fled quickly with only minor injuries, the rest of them… all suffered severe injuries!
This was simply because this man in black had not taken them seriously; otherwise, none of a thousand plus men… would have survived!
"Is this the power of a Primordial Infant?" Wang Wu, laying on the slope with blood at the corner of his lips, stared in the direction where the black-clothed man disappeared, his eyes filled with envy.
All the members of the Three Great Families had been severely injured. Now, they could forget about blocking the entrance; if they could suppress the injuries to their physical bodies and just survive, it would already be immensely fortunate.
However, these people had no idea that when compared with the members of the Three Great Families inside, they were still considered lucky.
