LDP S3: The Jewel of the Underworld

Ch. 7 — Ancient Ruins.

After flying past several stars that were the abode of several Gods, Heilong finally saw a floating island that was the site of the ancient ruins.

Around the island are scattered several small Goa which is the entrance to the ancient ruins. Because, the ancient ruins are located in a Small World inside the floating island.

However, it is not easy to enter the Goa because each Goa is guarded by hundreds of sky warriors and demon warriors depending on which force is more dominant around Goa.

Heilong directly landed on one of the mouths of the Goa guarded by the demon soldiers and showed the identity token that Li Ting gave the guard soldiers.

“Realated Zhao family member, please pass. Coincidentally some troops from the Zhao Clan had also just entered this Goa.” The soldier immediately returned the identity token to Heilong after confirming his identity.

Heilong went straight into Goa was asked a lot of talk because he himself was not familiar with the conversations of the Devils. Fearfully, during the chat will appear a little gap that will dismantle his disguise.

After walking tens of kilometers and passing through a dimensional gate, Heilong finally arrived at a very dry place and the entire land was dominated by a desert.

However, the air temperature in the area is very cold. It was even colder than the air temperature on the ice plains. Heilong became increasingly curious about this place especially the source of the cold that enveloped this entire small world.

Generally, cold temperatures like this are only owned by a place dominated by the energy of the ice element and the darkness element only. Because, in the two energies there is a very high Yin energy. And, a place like this was indeed very suitable for cultivating.

“Is the ancient ruins still far away?”

“No. We're almost there. The location of the ancient ruins should be behind the mountain.”

“Then we must hurry before all the treasures that are there are spent by the leading group.”

“Our goal is not just to search for treasures buried within my ancient ruins. But, we all have to plunder all the treasures that were successfully taken by the warriors of the God Realm.”

“I agree. All the treasures in these ancient ruins belonged to the Devil Nation. Whoever means to steal it from the Devil Nation then he must die.”

“Kill the Gods .. !!”

Heilong suddenly heard the conversation of a group of twelve-member demon warriors. They were all also heading to the location of the ancient ruins. He also intends to join the group to reduce suspicion once he reached the ancient ruins.

“Wait!!” Heilong showed himself to the group of demon soldiers and deliberately called out to them.

The group of demon soldiers immediately stopped and turned back. They all looked at Heilong with suspicious gazes because in Heilong came to this place alone. Though, every demon warrior who went to the ancient ruins had been divided into several small groups according to the orders of the Demon King.

“Who are you? And which Clan are you from?” The leader of the group asked Heilong after confirming that Heilong was not a God warrior in disguise. Because, the demonic air that emanated from Heilong's body was quite strong.

The group leader flipped through the identity token to match it to Heilong's face while making sure the identity token was genuine or fake.

“It turns out you're a member of the Zhao Clan. How did you get separated from your entourage?” continued the leader of the group while returning the identity token to Heilong after confirming its authenticity.

“When the entourage of the Zhao Clan will go to the ancient ruins, I am running a special task of the patriarch of the Zhao Clan. So, I tried to catch up with the group that had left first after I had successfully completed the task from Patriarch.”

Heilong replied as he himself had learned that the demon warriors exploring these ancient ruins had been divided into groups. He hoped that this reason did not raise the suspicion of the leader of this group.

The group leader nodded. “Revealed so the story. I'm willing to take you in my group but you have to agree to my terms, how?”

Heilong looked puzzled as he did not know what kind of conditions this demon before him would put forward. However, he had no other choice. So, if the conditions put forward by this demon are not in accordance with his conscience then he is determined to run away from them at all costs.

“Alright! Quickly tell me what terms you have,” exclaimed Heilong.

The leader of the group admired the courage of Heilong who dared to speak out loud in front of him. Whereas in the Underworld he I was respected and only a handful of people dared to act presumptuously in front of him. He also had time to think whether Heilong did not know him at all, but it was impossible if the members of the Zhao family did not know him.

“As long as you are inside the ancient ruins, you are part of my group because I am the one who brought you inside. So, you should ignore the Zhao Clan group when you meet them during your stay in that ancient ruins area and all the treasures you find should be shared equally with all the members of the group,” replied the group leader.

The leader of this group seemed to want to take advantage of Heilong's abilities. Because, the Zhao Clan was very famous in the Underworld with its skill in breaking magic formations.

“I agree.”

Heilong immediately agreed to the terms without asking much. He thought it was very reasonable. Moreover, he also did not know what kind of character the members of the Zhao Clan were.

After agreeing to the terms he proposed, the leader of this team of warriors immediately brought Heilong to join his team and immediately continued on his way to the ancient ruins.

They all finally stopped at a gigantic, towering gate almost reaching the sky after walking for half a day.

Around this gate are walls of ancient stones that have been reinforced with special protective formations.

Heilong looked around and discovered that there was absolutely no guard around this gate. However, he could sense that there were so many terrifying energy fluctuations behind this gate. In fact, he could also feel the existence of a quite fierce fight in that place.

“We have arrived at the ancient ruins. You all have to be careful after we cross this gate,” exclaimed the team leader giving a warning.

All the team members nodded their heads and directly walked through the giant gate.
