LDP S3: The Jewel of the Underworld

Ch. 13 — Ancient Ruins Map.

The Ancient Ruins Center.

In the center of these ancient ruins there was an area similar to a battle arena.

The location of this battle arena was so vast that it could be compared to the vastness of a Continent. Maybe this arena was once used to fight in groups so it definitely needs a place large enough to accommodate them all.

The Gods and Demons who were in this place named this battle arena as a battlefield that was destroyed because the shape of this battle arena had indeed been destroyed almost seventy percent. Only the part of my arena barrier wall is still intact and looks very sturdy.

In the middle of this devastated battlefield, it was clearly visible two people facing each other. One is from the God Nation and the other is from the Devil Nation.

The man on the right was named Xiao Hong. He was one of the captains of the God-ruled warrior group to explore the ancient ruins.

The man on the left is called Zhao Chen. He was a Demon Nation that came from the Zhao Clan. The only Clan who was an expert in magic formation techniques in the Underworld.

The two of them seemed to have put up a pretty fierce fight. Because, in their bodies there are so many scars even though they do not endanger their lives.

The wounds that were on Xiao Hong's body were indeed not too severe. However, the influence of the magic formation that Zhao Chen used while performing the attack made him unable to move his body freely.

Xiao Hong's face was filled with anger. “Zhao Chen, do you really have a way to enter the hidden world inside this devastated battlefield?”

Hearing this, Zhao Chen only glanced at Xiao Hong in surprise. As he had expected that Xiao Hong would definitely head him over at this place. Only the Zhao Clan had a map showing the exact location where the gate to the hidden world was located. Ancestor of the Zhao Clan also bequeathed to them how to enter that mysterious world.

However, how could Xiao Hong know about this even though this secret was heavily guarded by the Zhao Clan even in the Underworld. Was there a spy within the Zhao Clan from the God Realm?

Looking at Zhao Chen's glance, Xiao Hong could only feel disgusted and smiled bitterly. “Why are you glancing at me like that? Lest you have distorted fantasies and love towards same-sex.”

“Damn it!” Zhao Chen cursed loudly: “Xiao Hong, ever since I entered this ruined battlefield, I have never looked for trouble with you but why do you keep provoking me?”

“Because you are a Devil.” Xiao Hong replied quickly. “Since ancient times, Gods and devils were mortal enemies. Quickly tell me what kind of death you want!”

Xiao Hong seemed to be unconcerned about the secret that Zhao Chen had. After all if he managed to kill Zhao Chen then all the secrets that the Zhao Clan had about this shattered battlefield would automatically fall into his hands.

However, Zhao Chen realized that Xiao Hong had indeed deliberately lured him to fight so that this cunning God would have a chance to snatch the thing that he had been guarding well.

“Sial!” Xiao Hong clenched his teeth trying to contain the anger. “It looks like my guess was right. This map of the ruined battlefield must be in your hands. Quickly leave it to me!”

When he first walked into these ancient ruins, Xiao Hong happened to meet a group of demons that came from the Zhao Clan and he always observed their movements because according to the information from the God Realm, he had always observed their movements, This clan had information that no one knew about these ancient ruins.

Xiao Hong then decided to go after Zhao Chen and ambush him once there was a chance because Zhao had the highest cultivation level in the group. So, the secret about these ancient ruins must have been handed over by the Zhao Clan under his guard.

However, who would have thought that if the secret turned out there was a map showing the location of the hidden world where the treasures and heritage that existed these ancient ruins were stored.

Zhao Chen looked at Xiao Hong then said in response. “True that map is indeed in my hands.”

Zhao Chen then took out an ancient paper scroll from within his storage ring and showed the scroll the map of Xiao Hong. “It should be this thing you want. But, I will never hand this thing over to you even if I have to fight to the death with you.”

“You should look so confident that you will inherit from this place even though you have only first explored these ancient ruins. It turns out that these ancient ruins do have a special relationship with the Devil Nation,” Xiao Hong replied.

That Xiao Hong's words were not all nonsense without a clear basis. Because, these ancient ruins have appeared several times in the past thousand years and only the Devil Nation has managed to get a large enough harvest from this place. It was as if the ancient ruins were indeed created for the Devil Nation.

While the Gods usually only got a few stones and heirloom weapons that were not so valuable. So, it was rare for a God to bring out the objects they found in these ancient ruins.

From then on, the God Realm began sending spies to the various Clans that existed in the Underworld to search for information on the ancient ruins. Although many spies failed and were executed by the Demon Lords, there were also some spies who managed to transmit information to the God Realm.

“Then only a life-and-death fight can settle this debate,” challenges Xiao Hong.

“Do you think I'm scared? When I decided to go to the ancient ruins, I had already prepared myself to die in this place if I failed. However, I make sure that you won't be able to snatch this map out of my hands!”

Zhao Chen then took out a wooden sword and some copper coins that he used to make magic formations. He then set up an ancient super protective formation around the map and threw it towards the back.

“You will have to pass my corpse and destroy my protective formation if you still want that map,” Zhao Chen exclaimed with a mocking look.

“I will definitely get the map,” Xiao Hong's ferocious gaze has been fully focused on the map that was behind Zhao Chen.
