"Since you seek death yourself, you can't blame us for it."

The tall and slim young man with a Ninth Layer Cultivation of the Meridian Passage Realm gave Wang Ruoxie a cold stare and spoke.

After speaking, his body trembled, and in an instant, he appeared before Wang Ruoxie, then his longsword directly slashed towards the opponent.

In the next moment, Sword Qi blossomed, transforming into a substantial-like blade, wildly sweeping towards Wang Ruoxie.

"So you are a Sword Cultivator, but to deal with you, one punch is enough."

Wang Ruoxie indifferently looked at the slashing longsword, then directly raised his hand and threw a punch.

For this punch, he didn't even use True Essence, merely relying on his strong physical body, confronting the sword head-on.

"You don't know life from death."

Seeing Wang Ruoxie dare to underestimate him so, the tall and slim young man laughed coldly.

The other four all watched Wang Ruoxie with a look of idiocy. In their view, although both were at the Ninth Layer Cultivation of the Meridian Passage Realm, their strengths were not on the same level.

Because they knew very well that the strength of the tall and slim young man had reached the Half-Step Essence Pill level not long ago.

What's more, even if their strengths were equal, the opponent confronting a longsword with a punch seemed like seeking death.

However, the following scene made the four's eyes completely freeze there, their faces filled with shock.

Because they actually saw the tall and slim young man being blasted apart with a single punch by the opponent, even the lower grade Earth Artifact-tier longsword in his hand shattered into pieces.

"This... how is this... possible..."

At this moment, the four's faces no longer bore the previous disdain, replaced by a strong sense of terror.

They seemed to be stunned by Wang Ruoxie's terrifying strength, their bodies completely frozen there, forgetting to run away.

The four froze, but Wang Ruoxie did not. Since these people wanted to kill him and seize treasures, he naturally wouldn't show mercy.

His figure flickered, directly appearing in front of one person, and punched again.

"Ah!"

A shrill scream awakened the remaining three purple-clad youths.

"Fight him to the death."

The purple-clad youth gave a terrified shout and then crazily activated True Essence, charging towards Wang Ruoxie.

Although he had no confidence in confronting the opponent, at such close range, if he chose to flee, he feared he would die even faster, so he had no choice but to fight for his life.

Of course, he held a sliver of hope in his heart; maybe their three-man teamwork could, if not defeat the opponent, at least ensure survival.

The other two didn't hesitate either, charging towards Wang Ruoxie nearly simultaneously.

They, of course, understood that in this battle, either the opponent dies, or they do, so they dared not hold back in the least.

However, the gap in strength was too great; no matter how desperately they fought, the outcome remained unchanged.

Wang Ruoxie's strength had already surpassed the threshold of the Meridian Passage Realm, comparable to the First Layer of the Essence Pill Realm.

His figure trembled slightly, transforming into phantoms and, in almost an instant, easily wiped out the three purple-clad youths.

After collecting the Storage Pouches from the five, Wang Ruoxie also devoured their Blood Souls entirely.

Though with his current Seventh Grade Celestial-level Bloodline Power, swallowing more low-level Bloodline Power was unlikely to yield a noticeable improvement, much less a breakthrough, the Bloodline Power contained in these people's Blood Souls could still thicken his Qi and Blood.

Of course, the extent of improvement was extremely minuscule, but it was better than nothing.

Next, Wang Ruoxie continued to advance through the mountains, finding numerous rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures along the way.

It was just a pity that he did not come across treasures at the level of the Nine-leaf Glazed Heart Grass.

However, his largest gain wasn't these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but the massive amount of Demon Beasts he hunted, devouring the blue Essence Blood within them, which elevated his physical body by at least one tier.

It's worth knowing that his physical body now was not a bit weaker than that of Martial Cultivators of the early Essence Pill Realm, and in terms of strength and recovery, perhaps even better.

The blue Essence Blood from these Demon Beasts allowing his physical body to elevate by another tier was sufficient to prove that his previous assumptions were correct.

His figure flickered and flashed as Wang Ruoxie continued towards the deeper parts of the mountains.

Meanwhile, others who had entered the ruins were also converging towards the depths of the mountains.

However, their numbers had reduced by at least half; out of nearly a hundred thousand who entered, only a little over thirty thousand remained now.

Mostly, they perished fighting each other over Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures; some were slain by the Demon Beasts within the mountains.

After all, the Demon Beasts within this ruin were of strength far beyond their external counterparts of the same tier, with exceptionally powerful bodies, making even Martial Cultivators of the same tier struggle against them.

After traversing these vast mountains for three whole days, the number of people had dwindled down again to over ten thousand.

At this point, many people had reached the deepest parts of the mountains.

"Unexpectedly, there's a manor deep within these mountains."

Nangong Han gazed at the manor resembling a small city before him and commented in awe.

"Could it be that this manor is the real Blue Moon Manor?"

Dongfang Qiong's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke up.

At these words, everyone felt a shock in their hearts, and then an expression of excitement appeared, thinking there might indeed be such a possibility.

The Blure Moon Manor outside most likely served as a facade crafted by Venerable Lan Yue; this manor could very well be the real location of Blue Moon Manor.

This would also explain why, after Venerable Lan Yue disappeared, the tens of thousands of people in Blue Moon Manor all vanished overnight.

Evidently, everyone in Blue Moon Manor must have entered these Ancient Ruins, continually living in this real Blue Moon Manor.

"Go, let's go in."

Ximen Yao said to the few beside him before taking the lead to step into Blue Moon Manor.

Nangong Han and the others exchanged glances and promptly followed into Blue Moon Manor.

The other people, seeing that these five Essence Pill Realm individuals had entered Blue Moon Manor, quickly followed behind them.

Since this was the real Blue Moon Manor, there must be a wealth of treasure resources here, and quite possibly the inheritance of Venerable Lan Yue.

It's well known that the Venerable Lan Yue of the past was the Eastern Domain's foremost expert, and Blue Moon Manor was one of the top-tier powers in the entire Eastern Domain.

Blue Moon Manor was exceptionally vast, deserving to be called a true city, with numerous ancient buildings, countless pavilions, towers, and palaces.

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, they did not encounter any people from Blue Moon Manor. As rumors suggested, after Venerable Lan Yue's disappearance, everyone from Blue Moon Manor also vanished overnight.

"This Blue Moon Manor is strange."

Wang Ruoxie surveyed the surroundings, thinking to himself.

He sensed a pervasive Blood Evil Qi in the space, extremely faint, yet he could clearly feel it.
