116 Leaving the Underground Ruins
The White Dragon Saint’s scales were now tainted by the black flames. For a moment, he looked as though he was a black dragon, not white!
However, this black form wasn’t whole. He glanced at his scales to see that some of them still remained white under the black flames.
“Little sharp-eared bug, what do you have that can fight against me?” The White Dragon Saint mocked his opponent.
The Dark Night Saint was seventh among the Twelve Holy Envoys, so there was still a big gap in strength and power between them.
But, after obtaining the power of the Demonic Dragon’s Blessing, the White Dragon Saint felt as though he could overturn the sky!
The Dark Night Saint cast a wary glance at Xu Yuan.
Perhaps Su Wan and Shi Linglong didn’t notice, but she could. The White Dragon Saint’s present aura was similar to what she noticed in Xu Yuan.
“You! It’s you who did this!”
The Dark Night Saint wanted to kill Xu Yuan. Even if this was just a buff, it was still terrifying!
To be able to increase the White Dragon Saint’s strength so much…
“What?” Xu Yuan innocently glanced at the Dark Night Saint. He could feel her murderous rage.
However, he had nothing to worry about. The White Dragon Saint would take care of it. Even if he couldn’t defeat the Dark Night Saint and was killed in the process, he could always be revived at the Territory Core.
The White Dragon Saint also felt the Dark Night Saint’s rage. He walked in front of Xu Yuan. He was loyal only to Xu Yuan as much as a little brother would be. He also knew, as an underling, that he would receive a lot of benefits in the future.
The Dark Night Saint looked icy. She didn’t know what other abilities Xu Yuan had, but she hadn’t expected him to increase the White Dragon Saint’s power by so much.
She decided it was foolish to recklessly start a fight.
‘What if the tiny black dragon gives another buff to the White Dragon Saint in the middle of a fight?’
The Dark Night saint was reluctant. She looked at Shi Linglong. “So, you are the one who has been going against the organization?”
Shi Linglong’s name and face were familiar to the higher-ups of the Dark Screen.
Shi Linglong was furious. She stomped her feet in anger. “So what? Do you want to fight back? For the record, it was you guys who started chasing after me for no reason at all!”
Shi Linglong felt wronged. Su Wan and X Yuan were clear about this. Shi Linglong looked aggrieved. She just needed to walk around to encounter something dangerous. She was always chased and hunted down.
“Interesting…,” said the Dark Night Saint. “The previous Overlord who dared to go against the organization died without the ability to be resurrected ever again.”
Her threat had incited Shi Linglong’s rebellious heart.
“Bah! You think your threat can scare me?” she said. “I will make it clear to all. I will always go against your organization, no matter what.”
With Xu Yuan and the White Dragon Saint with her, Shi Linglong wasn’t afraid of anything.
The Dark Night Saint left. She turned around for the last time to glance at the Elemental Heart in Xu Yuan’s hand. The Legendary Elemental Heart was a rare treasure even in their organization.
After the Dark Night Saint left, Xu Yuan merged the Elemental Heart into one of the twelve dark energy balls and absorbed it into his Chaos Realm.
Now, there was an additional Lightning Element in the Chaos Realm.
If he ever encountered an enemy with the Lightning Element, he could activate the Lightning Chaos Core and directly disable the enemy’s ability!
Others didn’t know about it. Only Su Wan, who knew a bit about Xu Yuan, thought that the Elemental heart was of great benefit.
“Since we’ve stopped the enemy’s plan, it’s time for us to leave!”
Su Wan had been wary of the second level from the moment they stepped through the entrance. She wanted to leave this place immediately.
Now that they had achieved their goal, there seemed to be nothing they could do further.
However, at this moment, the sounds of thousands of horse hooves reverberated in the cave.
“That’s not good!” said Shi Linglong. “It’s the army of ancient souls!”
Shi Linglong turned pale with fright.
The confrontation between the White Dragon Saint and the Dark Night Saint had caused too much of a commotion. It had awoken the ancient souls.
One by one, the ancient souls charged toward Xu Yuan. Mysterious runes were engraved on their armors, which carried special powers.
“They aren’t dead?”
Su Wan looked at the scene and sighed. The ancient souls looked like they were made of flesh and blood. They did not look like the undead at all.
“No, they’re already dead. But, in a sense, they are somehow immortal, at least within the boundary of the ancient empire. But if they leave the boundary, then they will reveal their true colors.,” explained the White Dragon Saint.
No matter what, they couldn’t resist looking at the majesty of the ancient souls.
They had to retreat!
The White Dragon Saint let out a Dragon Breath behind him, and large numbers of ancient souls fell. However, the fallen ancient souls were revived in an instant.
“We need to leave the ruins!”
The White Dragon Saint activated a dragon-language magic, and walls of earth and ice rose from the ground. They slowed the advance of the ancient souls.
Although everyone was in a dire state, they had to admit that the White Dragon Saint’s method was quite effective.
Everyone arrived at the first level. They only had to follow the original path and return to Su Wan’s territory.
“Eh? We have unknowingly killed so many ancient souls?” Su Wan suddenly discovered this.
Even though everyone was fleeing in a dire state, they had killed so many ancient souls on their way. When they reached the first level, Su Wan realized she had killed almost thousands of ancient souls.
“Does this mean that I only need to get 100 units of minerals to turn it into 100,000 units of minerals?”
Su Wan was excited. At this moment, the entire Sunken City started to shake. The ancient ruin was about to collapse.
“I have a premonition that this place will be closed for a while!”
Su Wan quickly asked the White Dragon Saint and Shi Linglong to help her collect some resources.
If she didn’t collect them now, she might not have the chance later. Su Wan was right. They had just collected some resources when the entire ruins began to collapse.
After facing bumps along the way, Su Wan finally found her way back to her own territory. She reached the crack and climbed out of it.
“I have enough resources!” Su Wan did not forget her original purpose of exploring the ruins.
Initially, she only wanted to deal with the Inter-Campus Tournament. That was why she was eager to collect resources to create Dragon Knights and Dragon Blood Warriors.
Now, she had enough resources. It was finally time!
