Chapter 434: Forcing Their Way In (1/2)

Lu Wenshu might seem relaxed, but Hua Sen was worried that Lu Wenshu was not in his peak condition and suggested, “Senior Brother, why don’t you take a break outside? The rest of us will sneak in undetected, what do you think?”

Lu Wenshu quietly nodded as he began to meditate. Hua Sen motioned for the rest of the disciples to shield Lu Wenshu from the view of the other factions as he realised that Lu Wenshu meditating would arouse suspicions. After assuring himself that no one was able to notice the abnormality, he calmed himself down.

However, unbeknownst to them, Bai Luochu was watching Lu Wenshu intently. She wanted to see if he would reveal the locations of the precious hidden treasures and her heart sank when she noticed that even a powerhouse like Lu Wenshu became drained when he activated the ruins. She knew that she had to be more cautious as the ruins wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

Bai Luochu unconsciously furrowed her brows and shook her head as she reflected on the situation. Pei Qingfeng noticed her weird actions and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with your eyes? If you’re feeling weak, you can return to the inn. I will gather the precious treasures for you.”

Bai Luochu furiously shook her head and replied, “It is better to rely on myself. I was merely shocked for a moment as I didn’t know how to navigate the massive ruins.”

Pei Qingfeng laughed helplessly. How could I forget? She’s not one to give up easily! “I’ll follow you.”

Bai Luochu’s heart fluttered slightly as she quietly observed the situation that unfolded before her.

As they were talking, the people who had fallen over were gradually beginning to stand up.

Pei Rumo scanned the surroundings and said in a hushed voice, “People from different sects and countries are present… This isn’t going to be easy…”

“As the saying goes, ‘The fisherman benefits the most when the clam and piper fights’. We’ll wait here patiently and let the others fight amongst themselves. We should stay away from the battle if no one provokes us.”

This was the first time Bai Luochu had shown her ambition and ingenuity to the both of them. Although Pei Qingfeng and the others were secretly shocked, they did not question her. After all, her father was the previous great general. It was natural for his daughter to possess such strength and composure.
