The Last Primal

795 Chapter 795

"[Reptilian] Our Azure Myst Sect can give up on the other treasures if the situation seems bad. However, we must fight and get our hands on the Ancient Burial Ground's Elixir Recipes and Alchemy Inheritance!"

Most of those recipes may have already been lost through the times. With them, together with the accompanying inheritance, once they appeared, their Azure Myst Sect would definitely cause a huge stir within the world and their status would naturally rise.

"[Reptilian] Everyone, go back and wait. Get ready and prepare to set off at any moment!"

After Tai Liu finished speaking, many disciples gradually dispersed and returned to their rooms.

As the groups of people slowly left the Main Hall, Tai Liu's gaze was fixed on one particular, gray-robed individual that was following the mass at the very end, looking silent but at the same time, emotions flashed across his youthful and stupidly handsome face every now and then.

Though she did not know what she was doing, or that he could actually converse with his captains through the system's provided Mental Channel, he knew that his changing emotional state was related to his own little group.

Tai Liu had the thought of calling out for him and warning him of some of the more latent dangers of this upcoming journey but in the end, she could not do so. They were the greatest secrets of his sect as well as probably for the others and whilst nobody knew of the others, these secretive methods were something anybody in the top factions have known about. Still, he could not openly divulge it to anyone, as it would be akin to betraying her ancestors…

In the end, she merely sighed and watched helplessly as Aiden walked away, not knowing just what dangers he would be facing…

—

On the very next day, around in the later afternoon.

A bit of distance away to the north from Ugburg City, a violent quake happened as beams of light shot straight into the rocky 'skies' of the underground world before disappearing.

The seals shrouding the Ancient Burial Grounds have finally dispersed after so many years!

Many fearsome Martial Artists and powerhouses came out of seclusion immediately in Ugburg City and countless figures soared straight into the skies, heading towards the valley 5 kilometers to the north using their various techniques.

The many powerful, top factions have also got active. Crystal Palace Sect, Malefic Demons Clan, The Ancient Guardian Stars, Beast Summoners and various other sects made their moves and in the blink of an eye, the entire Ugburg City was in an uproar!

Because Aiden and the others were prepared, they assembled at the Main Hall of the Azure Myst Sect swiftly the moment they saw the phenomenon.

Tai Liu gazed up at the skies with a dark expression and worry in her eyes. Aiden knew what was on her mind. He smiled at the thought.

Right now, it was evening and there were only 2 hours left till night. It was relatively dangerous for them to barge into the valley right now.

If they did not manage to pass the defenses of the wild, ancient beasts and arrive at the Ancient Burial Ground ruins before nightfall, all of them might end up dying in the valley.

However on the other hand, if they were to stay here and another sect broke through the ferocious beasts and arrived first, all the treasures inside Ancient Burial Grounds were bound to be wiped clean.

"[Reptilian] Young Master Tai, let's go. The Crystal Palace Sect and the other factions have already set off. We'll be too late if we don't move." Juno Hian urged from the side, looking restless.

Pondering for a bit more, Tai Liu made up her mind. Sighing internally, she waved her hand.

"[Reptilian] Let's go!"

Upon her command their group marched out from the building and hurriedly rushed towards the north.

Among the crowd, Juno Hian glanced at Aiden with a killing intent flickering briefly past his eyes.

'Hmmm? How interesting…' Aiden sensed it the moment it appeared. Although he did not turn back, his expression was cold as he slowed down and came to Juno Hian's side.

Without even looking at him, Aiden remarked indifferently with a cold, ruthless tone of voice. "[Reptilian] A word of advice, little worm. It's best if you don't harbor any designs on me."

At that moment, Juno Hian felt as though his heart was being grabbed by someone and had stopped beating.

How did he realize it?!

His expression was frightfully pale as sweat poured down his forehead. He could not understand how he was found out when he had merely glanced at Aiden once with a fleeting killing intent! His legs were trembling slightly at this thought. He tried to control them but he could not do so.

Taking a deep breath of air, he pretended to be calm as he faked a laugh at Aiden.

"[Reptilian] Hehe… F-friend, who are you talking to?"

"[Reptilian] I merely knocked you out with that slap from before out of respect for your Young Master, but the next time, your head will explode." After a slight pause, Aiden continued. "[Reptilian] You can rest assured, this is not a threat. I am warning you."

Without looking at him still, Aiden sped up after that statement and returned to the front of the group.

In that short dozens of seconds, Juno Hian felt as though he had been through dozens of years. It was as if he had passed through Hell's gates and was now drenched with sweat, shivering when the wind blew at him. Burying his head deeply in between his robe, Juno Hian no longer dared to look at Aiden.

Yet he did not give up on his thoughts of revenge.

At that moment, his expression was menacing and his eyes were hysterical. From the bottom of his heart, he howled internally, "[Reptilian] Little worm huh? Alright, you filthy commoner! You embarrassed me thoroughly in front of everyone back then! Today, you're even threatening me! I'll make sure the Fog Valley will be your burial ground!"

—

The group continued to march forward without any pause and soon they could see the massive fog shrouding the valley from afar. Gray and hazy, it rolled in an illusory manner.

Surrounding the valley, the fog was like a wild beast in a hazy night, opening its bloody mouth and waiting to enjoy a feast!

Given their speed, they covered the distance from the city relatively quickly. They did not lag behind the rest of the major players either. Crystal Palace Sect, Malefic Demons Clan and many other sects were at the valley's entrance, arriving not long ago as well.

Outside the crowd, there were some itinerant Martial Artists waiting for an opportunity, wanting to mix in with the larger crowd after the major clans and sects entered and lured away the attention of the ferocious beasts.

"[Reptilian] Liu! So you have arrived!"

Suddenly a young feminine, fair, lighter skinned Draconic Skink garbed in exquisite golden robe walked over and greeted with a friendly-looking nod.

He, or more likely, she was just like Tai Liu, a young master of a relatively larger sized, but not so battle-oriented group, the Majestic Swan Sisterhood.

As the name implied the Majestic Swan Sisterhood was actually a fully female sect of martial artists that were mostly focused on cultivating herbs, flowers, and all kinds of flora. They were closest to the Azure Myst Sect, some could even say that the two would often be seen as one big faction instead of two slightly smaller ones.

Looking at the stiff looking smile hiding behind her graceful mask, Aiden could clearly tell that this young woman was not relaxed either.

The two of them discussed for a while and Tai Liu stood out. She cupped her fists in the direction of Crystal Palace and asked loudly. "[Reptilian] Fellow Master Pei, it's already late and night will arrive in less than 2 hours. It's way too dangerous for us to enter the valley now. Why don't we return to the city to rest and set out tomorrow morning to enter the valley, what do you think?"

In reality, her words struck a common chord with many of the gathered. The valley was extremely huge and nobody knew the exact location of Ancient Burial Grounds. If they did not manage to find the ruins before nightfall, many lives would be certainly lost!

However, everyone had already arrived here and was worried that someone else might seize the opportunity before them if they were to leave.

Raising his chin slightly, Pei Syriac replied. "[Reptilian] I don't have many objections towards your suggestion, fellow Young Master. However…"

Pei Syriac did not continue but he looked towards Malefic Demons Clan.

As if on queue, the dark lord of Malefic Demons Clan, Yang Zahn, sneered contemptuously.

"[Reptilian] Don't come to the valley if you're afraid of death. Return to Ugburg City obediently and you're guaranteed to be snug and safe like a true weakling!"
