“Someone had carefully analyzed the wounds on these bones and found that this battle was not organized at all. Not only were there different clans, but even the people of their own clans killed each other. Therefore, someone speculated that they were actually fighting for some treasure that could make them attack their own clans and sacrifice their lives for it. Among these so-called ancient ruins, the most valuable one must be this treasure,” said Zhang Shizhao with lit-up eyes, as if he had guessed Ling Chuxi’s questions in her mind.

“Then if we didn’t come, your Zhang family would have probably gone to look for the treasures by now, right?” Ling Chuxi teased. She was also a little curious about the treasure that Zhang Shizhao had mentioned. After all, the martial techniques of the various aristocratic clans were not weak, yet they fought with their lives just to obtain it. This treasure must be quite extraordinary.

“How are we qualified?” Zhang Shizhao smiled bitterly. “I’m sure you’ve heard about the forces in Qianzhong Ridge from Feng Zijin. Our Zhang family is quite famous in the outer area. But if we were to go to the inner area, we wouldn’t even be ranked in the list. How would we dare to get involved in such muddy water?

“Not to mention us, even the Thousand Kills Gang, the Ou family, and the Qin family who had caused trouble in Dan Ling Town a while ago would have been considered medium-sized forces.”

“Then, what are the true big forces in Qianzhong Ridge?” asked Ling Chuxi curiously.

“The Shadow Kill Gang, Death Breaking Gang, the Kuangdao family, and the Zhuang family of Shifang Ridge. These are the true big forces in Qianzhong Ridge. The sects and family clans like Thousand Kills Gang and Broken Moon Gang depend on those big forces. When the ancient ruins appeared, all the forces wanted to get a piece of the cake as they rushed over until the road turned bloody.

“Therefore, the four forces led by the Shadow Killer Gang sealed the ancient ruins and set a rule that only the top ten sects and family clans have the right to enter to treasure hunt.” Zhang Shizhao explained.

“Kuangdao family?” Gongxi Kuangdao’s ears perked up even though the speaker mentioned it casually. The name Kuangdao family seemed very familiar to him. It would be a good idea to take control over them and hand them over to Ling Chuxi.

“Then what’s the ranking of the forces? Are we going to fight in the arena?” Ling Chuxi’s eyes lit up when she spoke. Ever since Ling Chuxi left Shi Qu Town, she had made a lot of money from the big gambling houses by fighting in the arena. She was considered a rich woman back then, so she had a special interest in fighting in the arena.

“It would be great if we were really going to fight in an arena. But how many people would be killed or injured to determine the winner? These big forces only set the rules for entering the ancient ruins, but they didn’t set the rules for ranking. They left it to these sects and family clans to discuss on their own. But how could such a matter be decided by discussion? At first, the Thousand Kills Gang and the Qin family were at odds with each other. Then, Broken Moon Gang and the Ou family also joined in. The matter became more and more intense, and the entire Qianzhong Ridge fell into chaos.

“In fact, just a few days ago, Thousand Kills Gang’s people assassinated the leader of Broken Moon Gang, and the Ou family’s people killed the wife of Thousand Kills Gang’s leader. That was why they were in a hurry to rush back and fight for their lives. Our Zhang family just so happened come upon the opportunity to take over Dan Ling Town,” said Zhang Shizhao. It seemed that they rejoiced in others’ misfortune.

In any case, he knew his own reputation and didn’t want to get involved in the treasure hunt. He was hoping that the more chaotic Qianzhong Ridge was, the better, Just so he could sit back and reap the benefits.

“Elder Zhang, Golden Pill Sect is a respectable sect. To use such a small scheme and trick is against the style of our sect..” Seeing Zhang Shizhao’s smug smile, Su Yizhi was somewhat appalled and decided to remind him.
