Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

Chapter 127 - An Opportunity

"Move away from the path. Zheng family experts are here", a person shouted as a group of warriors riding magical beasts approached them from a distance.

"What? Zheng family experts!", some exclaimations came from the crowd as they hurriedly opened up a path for the approproaching experts.

"Clip clup, clip clup", the sound of horse hooves drew closer. A group of warriors approach the crowd while riding on magical beasts. All of the magical beasts were flametailed horses who were rather rare in the western region.

Zhan Chen was observing the approaching cultivators along with other experts of Shen clan. The flametailed horses were nothing special Infront of the eyes of the Shen clan experts but their eyes involuntarily moved towards a young lady who was traveling with the Zheng family experts in the middle.

The young lady was wearing a purple coloured dress and she had a noble demeanor which involuntarily drew the attention of people towards her. 

The beautiful looking lady turned to look at the group of Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan. A surprised look appeared in her eyes as she observed Zhan Chen, Shen Ruyan and other Shen clan experts. But she didn't stop at her path. The flametailed horse, she was riding took her to the distance along with other experts of the Zheng family.

"Wow, what a beautiful lady", some people exclaimed in the crowd.

"I wonder if I can ever get such a lady for myself", a young man thought to himself as he looked towards the distance silhouettes of Zheng family experts.

But his thinking was loud and people near him heard him blabbing th words.

"Brat, dream on. How can a nobody like you hope to get the eldest miss of Zheng clan", people in the crowd started to reprimand the young man. Zheng family was a lofty existence to the people present in the crowd. They could only watch them form far but can't hope to get close to them. So, all of them sneeered and reprimanded the foolish looking young man.

"What is going on? Why there are suddenly so many people?", Shen Ruyan looked towards Liu Nanxi.

"Moreover all of them are going towards same direction", Shen Ruyan added further as she curiously observed the crowd gathered Infront of her eyes.

"Miss, there is no point in guessing. We should wait for our men to gather information", Liu Nanxi replied. Shen Ruyan nodded her head and resumed to observe the crowd gathered.

After leaving the Clear spring valley, Shen Ruyan's group entered deep into the territory of the Shredded mountain province. They were aware about the difficulties of Shen Ruyan. So, the Shen clan group tried to stay as much low profile they could.

But despite their attempts, they still had to enter some cities which were in their way to Central land. The city that was Infront of Shen Ruyan and Zhan Chen's group was Scarlet moon city. It was one of the big cities of Shredded mountain province.

The crowd they were watching was gathered Infront of the gate of the Scarlet moon city. Since they had come, there was a lot of activities going on near the city gate of Scarlet moon city. Beside a group of gossiping crowds, there was also magical beast riding warriors who were hurrying towards a certain direction.

It didn't take time for the Shen clan experts to find out what was happening. Two of their warriors who were sent to inquiry about the situation, returned after half an hour of time.

"Young miss, it is a great opportunity for all of us", the two Shen clan experts bowed and spoke to Shen Ruyan.

"Speak. What do you find out?", Shen Ruyan looked towards the warriors of his clan.

"Young miss, there is an ancient remnant in the nearby forest. Generally, no one could enter it's perimeter due to the formations around it. But for some reason, the power of formations seemed to be rapidly decreasing. That's why every cultivator who think themselves as capable, hurrying towards the ancient remnant", the two warriors replied to Shen Ruyan. They looked towards Shen Ruyan with an eager look in the faces.

Look of interest appeared in some other Shen an experts also. Ancient remnants and ancient relics were of matters of interests to every cultivators in the word. That included them who came from the central land. 

Every ancient remnant had its own speciality as it hid treasure and techniques of ancient experts. So, when they heard there was an unexplored ancient remnant nearby, they felt interested. After all who would want to miss such an opportunity which was hard to come by.

But of course, they had to seek the opinion of their young miss first. So, the experts of Shen clan turned there eyes towards Shen Ruyan.

Shen Ruyan knew what was their gazes meant. But she did not any reply immediately. Instead, she turned to look towards Liu Nanxi.

Exploring an ancient remnant had certain risks as there could be traps or guardian magical beasts. Moreover there were also cultivators who possessed the biggest threat among others. Human heart was unfathomable. So, one should proceed with utmost caution when exploring an unknown place with other cultivators.

"Brother Han, what do you think?", Liu Nanxi turned to look towards the peak level fifth stage expert of Shen clan.

Li Han was the most powerful cultivator among them. So, Liu Nanxi felt it was necessary to listen to his opinion.

"There is no problem in taking a look. But let me warn everyone. No one will act on their own once we get to the location", Li Han spoke sternly.

"Elder Han, please stay assured. None of us will act irresponsibly", the cultivators of Shen clan spoke to their peak level fifth stage expert.

Zhan Chen also felt curious. Since his time in the Northern desert continent, it was the first time he was coming across an ancient remnant. "I wonder if I can get something useful", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

Kai Min, Li Shu and Li Yan also felt interested after hearing the news about an unexplored ancient remnant. After gathering some more details about the place, Shen clan group went towards the location of the ancient remnant.

It was already crowdy when Shen clan group reached the location of ancient remnant. There were numerous cultivators who were waiting patiently for the barrier around the ancient remnant to fed up.

Zhan Chen spread his soul consciousness and tried to gather as much information as he could. Most of the cultivators were clueless about the ancient remnant. But Zhan Chen knew that it was only the case for those who had not come from ancient and prestigious powers.

His attention finally landed on the beautiful girl whom he had met Infront of the city gate. The eldest young miss of Zheng family was standing amidst her family experts. She was currently listening to the word of an old man who had come along with her family experts.

"It has been six hundred years since the Cleansing Insense ancient sect to be fallen. But who would have thought that it's barrier could still last even after so many years head passed", the old man sighed in a soft tone.

"Cleaning Incense ancient sect?", Zheng Hui Zi felt confused as she blinked her beautiful eyes.
