Chapter 435: Hidden Undercurrents (1/2)

However, upon making contact with it, his spirit qi seemed to be absorbed by the entrance, with no explosion or noise. A smug smile formed on the elder’'s face as he thought that he had succeeded. However, his smile soon vanished.

“Why isn’t it open?”

Seemingly replying to the elder’s question, a loud roar emanated from the entrance. A spirit qi wave sent everyone flying away.

It was lucky that Pei Qingfeng was standing at the perimeter of the ruins as he managed to avoid the wave of spirit qi.

“A bunch of fools!” Lu Wenshu cried out as the wave of spirit qi subsided.

“Senior brother, are you feeling better now?” Hua Sen asked Lu Wenshu as he helped him to his feet.

Lu Wenshu merely nodded his head and said, “They’re causing so much noise that even a dead man would sit up from his grave! It’s already been so long, yet no one has managed to open the entrance?”

His junior brother looked at him helplessly. The disciples in his sect were skilled, but the people from other factions were too weak to figure out the secret of the ruins. They could only wait patiently for help to arrive.

“Don’t worry! Senior Brother, you should take this time to regain your strength. Even though they aren’t strong enough, they can be of some use to us!” Hua Sen said in an attempt to placate the displeased looking Lu Wenshu.

Lu Wenshu glanced at Hua Sen and said, “What you’ve said makes sense, but we can’t let them continue to waste their strength. Even if they were to continue trying till night fell, they wouldn’t be able to open the ruins!” Lu Wenshu dusted his sleeves as he got ready to make a move. However, Hua Sen stopped him.

”Senior brother, you should wait a moment. All of them still think that they will be able to open the ruins with their strength. Moreover, you should regulate the spirit qi in your body before trying anything else.”
