On the other side, the Ninth Princess and her party, who left the main hall, found a hidden stone room in the core area of the ancient ruins.
Using the formation talismans prepared in advance, several small defenses were set up around the area. After attacking the magic circle, everyone began to sit down and heal.
Ye Chen found a separate room next to the stone chamber and forcibly suppressed and refined the killing sword intent on the two stone tablets.
"I didn't expect that the sword intention on this stone tablet could be suppressed so smoothly." Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, and a bright light suddenly appeared in his pupils.
Speaking of which, this was all thanks to the two upgrades of True Demonic Qi and Black Lin Demonic Flame.
Now Ye Chen's Wanfa Sword Intention is enough to fight with the Great Qin Sword Attendant who has sealed his cultivation even if he does not need the blessing of the devil's heart and uses the regular instant sword.
"Anyway, there is still time, so why not follow what the senior said and suppress the evil spirits in the halberd as well." Just as Ye Chen was about to take out the halberd, a sneaky figure suddenly appeared at the door of the stone chamber.
"Ye Chen, I didn't disturb your healing, did I?"
Ye Chen took a closer look and saw that the sneaky figure was none other than Shi Zhongtian.
"Hehe, what the hell... You also know, brother, that it's not easy for me to make a living in the hands of Liu Ruyan, that thief woman, for so many years, right? Look, can you... first..."
Looking at Shi Zhongtian who was rubbing his hands together with a mean look on his face, Ye Chen couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly in his heart.
"Okay, okay, I know!"
While chuckling, Ye Chen took out a storage ring from his arms and handed it over: "There are 250,000 top-quality spiritual stones in it. What do you think? Is that enough?"
"Enough, enough, enough, hahahaha, Ye Chen, you are such a buddy!" Shi Zhongtian, who obviously didn't expect Ye Chen to be so generous, almost jumped up from where he was with excitement.
The excited look on his face was as close as meeting his own ancestor.
All he needed to do was hug Ye Chen's thigh and kiss him hard.
However, looking at all this in Ye Chen's eyes, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile softly.
As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Shi Zhongtian, a man who loves money as much as his life, was able to hand over all his money to Ye Chen at the critical moment.
Ye Chen naturally couldn't treat his good brother badly.
"In addition to the spirit stone, the ring also contains a true-level mid-grade inner armor and a true-level high-grade flying knife. Although you can't use it with your current cultivation level, you will definitely be able to use it when you enter the Vajra realm."
"What... there are... two more true treasures???" At this moment, Shi Zhongzhen was really dumbfounded.
Although the Liu family is a big family, Shi Zhongtian is just a son-in-law. Even if Liu Ruyan cares about him, the training resources he can get for him are limited.
What's more, true level treasures have always been prepared by major families specifically for their core children.
How could he be left with a mere son-in-law?
As he watched, Shi Zhongtian's eyes turned red little by little, Ye Chen quickly waved his hand: "Stop it, you know I can't stand this kind of crying scene.
All in all, we are brothers, and I, Ye Chen, will never treat anyone who treats me sincerely."
In fact, Shi Zhongtian's cultivation talent is not bad, but he has become lazy in the Liu family these years.
Ye Chen believes that as long as this guy works hard, sooner or later he can surprise those in the Liu family who look down on him.
"Ye Chen, you are so kind to me!!!"
"If you really think I'm good to you, then practice hard in the future and don't embarrass your buddy."
"Ye Chen, I swear that I will practice hard when I leave the ruins this time. If I encounter an enemy in the future, I will never let you fight alone again."
To be honest, when Ye Chen fought against two Great Qin Swordsmen and Sun Xuanji in the main hall with his own strength, Shi Zhongtian really broke into a cold sweat for Ye Chen.
Apart from being nervous, I feel even more guilty.
I blame myself for not being strong enough to help my brother at such a critical moment.
"I'm very happy that you have such a heart!" Ye Chen originally wanted to say something, but just then a Tiance Army member walked in and said that the ninth princess, Tuoba Yunyan, had something important to see.
Ye Chen discussed.
Helpless, Ye Chen could only pat Shi Zhongtian on the shoulder and give him an encouraging look.
"Ye Chen, don't worry, I will definitely fight side by side with you one day!!!" Looking at Ye Chen's leaving figure, Shi Zhongtian, who had always been carefree, actually had a trace of determination that he had never seen before in his eyes.
…………
Soon, Ye Chen came to the main stone room and saw the Ninth Princess Tuoba Yunyan, Commander Lan, General Tie, as well as the tidied Tiance Army and the Yulan Guard sitting there neatly.
Everyone seemed to be discussing something important, with solemn expressions on their faces.
"Ye Chen, you came just in time. Commander Lan was just at this location and detected traces of someone destroying the formation in the core area of the ruins."
As she spoke, Ninth Princess Tuoba Yunyan pointed to a map in her hand and said.
This map was left by Tuoba Daze, Emperor Taizu of the Tianyuan Dynasty. As for why Tuoba Daze had such a detailed map of the ruins, Ye Chen didn't know.
"So, someone is already walking in front of us!" Ye Chen glanced at the location marked on the map and said while touching his chin.
He looked very plain on the surface, but out of the corner of his eye he quickly glanced across the map.
When Ye Chen confirmed that the map left by Tuoba Daze did not contain the three stone chambers where the giant corpse was sealed, he felt inexplicably relieved.
"That is to say, even Tuoba Daze, the founder of the Tianyuan Dynasty, did not discover the existence of the giant corpse!!!"
As a result, Ye Chen couldn't help but become a little curious.
Tuoba Daze is a martial arts expert at the peak of the second level. Even he didn't notice the existence of the giant corpse. How did the black-robed young master and servant discover it?
Apparently not noticing the abnormality in Ye Chen's heart at this moment, Ninth Princess Tuoba Yunyan stared at the map and continued to analyze.
"Now that Dayu and Daqin have no Principle Realm powerhouses, the only ones we need to pay close attention to are the wealthy Yuanzhou families."
At this moment, the Ninth Princess Tuoba Yunyan was somewhat fortunate. When the four parties were negotiating, Tianyuan, Dayu, and the Yuanzhou wealthy families collectively put pressure on Daqin.
If you want to send out a strong person in the Principle Source Realm, you cannot send out the Thirteen Swordsmen of Great Qin.
After all, the Thirteen Swordsmen together are equivalent to a Principle Source Realm powerhouse.
If another person from the Principle Source Realm comes, I am afraid that no one of the forces will be the opponent of Da Qin.
"However, we still cannot take Da Qin and Da Yu lightly!!!"
Judging from the Tianyuan Dynasty's experience in dealing with Great Qin and Dayu over the years, the other party will definitely not just send out the Thirteen Swordsmen of Great Qin and Sun Xuanji, two obvious trump cards.
No one can tell what other methods are behind the scenes.
Just in case, the Ninth Princess Tuoba Yunyan still did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
"Well, what the princess said makes sense!" Regarding what the ninth princess Tuoba Yunyan said just now, Commander Lan and General Tie nodded in agreement.
Although we talk about Great Qin, there are no Principle Source Realm experts on Dayu’s side!
But not only those who are powerful in the Principle Source Realm can pose a threat.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the Ninth Princess Tuoba Yunyan.
As a peak warrior in the Taoist Realm, she can use the golden wings and phoenix bone hairpin to exert a strength that is no less than that of a strong person in the Taoyuan Realm.
Dayu and Qin were both one of the three great dynasties in Qingzhou, so similar methods were naturally inevitable.
"Ye Chen, what do you think?" Although everyone thought that Ninth Princess Tuoba Yunyan's analysis just now was very detailed, Tuoba Yunyan still couldn't help but want to hear Ye Chen's opinion.
After all, Ye Chen's sharp mind and meticulous observation left a very deep impression on the Ninth Princess Tuoba Yunyan.
In this situation, it would be great if Ye Chen could give some advice.
However, facing the gaze of Ninth Princess Tuoba Yunyan, Ye Chen touched his chin and said calmly: "Before answering, can I ask Her Royal Highness a question?"
"But it's okay to ask!" Princess Ninth nodded gently.
"This time the four forces entered the ancient ruins together. What are they looking for?" As soon as Ye Chen said this, the expressions of Commander Lan and General Tie who were present changed.
Even the Ninth Princess Tuoba Yunyan, who had always had great trust in Ye Chen, couldn't help but have some hesitation in her eyes.
