Chapter 2125
Could it be that these ruins were left by some strange force?
After regaining his senses, Lu Chen said to Peng Zhao, "I'm fine. It seems that not just anyone can enter these ruins."
At this point, Lu Chen's gaze fell on Pei Shuhua, and he continued, "This ruin is so dangerous, do you still want to go in?"
Upon hearing Lu Chen's question, Pei Shuhua hesitated.
She arrived later than many others, so she witnessed firsthand how many people were sucked dry and turned into mummies when they jumped into the ruins.
This truly frightened her, so much so that she stood at the edge of the whirlpool, watching to see if anyone could enter it alive.
After thinking for a moment, Pei Shuhua looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Why are you alright?"
Lu Chen said, "Is it possible that my cultivation level is higher than yours, which is why I can withstand that corrosive force?"
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Pei Shuhua fell silent.
If that's the case, then they'll probably miss out on these ancient ruins. They'll only be able to send people to explore them when the borderland restrictions are lifted.
However, by then, the heritage within these ancient ruins will likely have already been discovered by others.
At the same time, Yun Yudie also appeared at the entrance of the sealed land with Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao.
Standing at the edge of the vortex, feeling the eerie power emanating from it, the women all felt incredibly comfortable and wished they could jump in immediately.
However, the three women dared not enter rashly, thinking of the people who had just turned into mummies. Although they were immortal, what if they accidentally jumped into some kind of deadly formation and were sealed away?
Lu Chen then flew into the sky and said to the people present, "This is the entrance to the ancient ruins. If you can enter alive, you can take any treasures inside. Also, no one from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is allowed to enter the ruins without my permission."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, everyone present looked at each other, none of them daring to take that step.
Just then, a man who had arrived later said sarcastically, "What cowards! The ruins are right in front of us, yet we dare not go in."
As he spoke, the man leaped directly into the whirlpool.
However, the moment his body came into contact with the eerie power above the vortex, his life force was instantly drained away, and the next moment his body turned into a dried-up corpse.
Upon seeing this, everyone present gasped in shock once again.
The man from before was at the late Earth Realm, yet even a Spirit Warrior of that strength couldn't withstand it for a single breath.
This place is too dangerous. Who would dare to go in? Unless they have the strength of a Heavenly Realm cultivator like Lu Chen.
Lu Chen ignored everyone present and looked at Pei Shuhua, saying, "If you don't dare to go in, then come back to the palace with me."
Upon hearing this, Pei Shuhua remained silent, offering no response, her gaze fixed intently on the black vortex before her.
For some reason, she always felt that there was a force in this vortex that was beneficial to her.
If she could absorb the power within this vortex, her strength might increase.
Of course, this was just her intuition.
Even with this intuition, she didn't dare to take the risk after seeing so many people turn into mummies.
After thinking for a while, Pei Shuhua decided to go back with Lu Chen.
She planned to ask Lu Chen if he had encountered any places inside that might hide ancient heritage.
After regaining her senses, Pei Shuhua said to Lu Chen, "Alright, I'll go back with you."
Seeing that Pei Shuhua was not going to explore, Lu Chen led her toward the palace.
They had only taken a few steps when Yun Yudie and the other two women approached.
Yun Yudie looked at Lu Chen and asked directly, "Is there any danger inside?"
Lu Chen said to the three of them, "It might be dangerous for ordinary people, but it won't be for the three of you."
Yun Yudie believed that Lu Chen wouldn't lie to her, so she said directly to Zhou Youyou and Zhou Xiaoxiao, "Let's go."
As soon as she finished speaking, she led the two sisters directly towards the vortex. Seeing that the three women were heading straight for the black vortex, Pei Shuhua stopped and watched.
If she wasn't mistaken, those three women must be Lu Chen's women, right?
Lu Chen actually said they wouldn't be in danger. Could it be that they are also at the Heavenly Realm?
Just as Pei Shuhua was wondering if the three women would be swallowed by the black vortex, Yun Yudie stepped into the black vortex, and the next moment, her body slowly sank into the vortex.
As soon as she entered the vortex, she felt the strange power around her rushing into her body, and for a moment, she felt extremely comfortable.
Zhou Xiaoxiao and Zhou Youyou were the same; they had never felt so comfortable before.
The crowd erupted in astonishment upon seeing that the three women had not been sucked into dried corpses by the black vortex.
How is this going?
Why are the three of them unharmed?
Could it be that they are also from the Heavenly Realm?
When did the Great Zhou Dynasty have so many Heavenly Realm experts?
Could there be some special method involved?
Could it be that only the bloodline of the Great Zhou is required? This ruin itself can only be opened by the emperor of the Great Zhou, and perhaps only members of the royal bloodline of the Great Zhou can enter?
Lu Chen doesn't have any bloodline of the Great Zhou royal family, so how did he get in?
Everyone present wondered why Yun Yudie and the other two women were able to enter safely.
Lu Chen had no interest in listening to their discussion, so he simply picked Pei Shuhua up in a princess carry and leaped back to the palace.
With his current strength, there's no need for him to hide anything.
Even if others saw him embracing the Empress Dowager, no one dared to say anything to him.
Pei Shuhua didn't react for a moment, and it wasn't until Lu Chen flew to the palace that she came to her senses.
This guy actually hugged her in front of so many people, isn't he afraid that this will get out?
Come to think of it, he's already so strong, and the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has so many Heavenly Realm experts, why would he need to worry about others saying he's rebellious?
After Lu Chen carried Pei Shuhua back to the palace, he looked at the child.
At this time, Lu Xinxin had already fallen asleep.
Seeing Lu Xinxin fast asleep in bed, Lu Chen smiled kindly.
Just then, Pei Shuhua's voice rang out behind him: "Those three women must be from your household, right? Why were they able to enter the ancient ruins? Could they also be from the Heavenly Realm?"
Lu Chen didn't hide anything and answered directly, "They are not from the Heavenly Realm. They were able to enter because they are not human."
Upon hearing this, Pei Shuhua was stunned for a moment.
Not human? Then what is it?
Evil spirits? Strange occurrences?
This guy is actually raising evil creatures?
Lu Chen turned around and saw the surprised look on Pei Shuhua's face. He continued, "Besides me, only strange and evil spirits can enter that ancient ruin. Even those in the Heavenly Realm cannot."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Pei Shuhua immediately exclaimed, "Impossible!"
How could there be ruins that only allow eerie and malevolent beings to enter, but not humans?
Could this relic be a product of some strange occurrence?
She had never heard of such a thing before.
They had explored so many ancient ruins in the Qionghua Holy Land, but they had never encountered a ruin that only allowed the strange and evil spirits to enter.
Pei Shuhua subconsciously thought that Lu Chen was deceiving her.
This man is not only unwilling to tell me how to get in, but he's also lying to me here. It's outrageous.
She's already given birth to his child, and this guy still won't let her get any benefits.
Seeing Pei Shuhua looking at him with suspicion, Lu Chen said, "Don't disbelieve me. You'll find out in a few days. Once all the people from those foreign forces have arrived, see if they can get in." (End of Chapter)
