Under a cliff thousands of feet high.

A dark blue boulder with a hint of scarlet protrudes from the cliff.

At this time, more than a hundred people wearing robes from various major cities gathered on a huge rock.

These people are either sitting or standing.

Either they are unharmed or their clothes are torn to shreds.

Some had broken arms and legs, and were leaning against boulders.

These people had different expressions on their faces.

But for most, it is far from easy.

Many people looked at the huge cave with a radius of several dozen feet behind them. Looking at the faint scarlet color in the cave, they seemed to recall something bad and there was some fear in their eyes.

Only the eight Dou Zong-level masters standing at the front of the cave, Ling Kongxu, had a little more anticipation on their faces.

These eight Dou Zongs were also vaguely divided into two factions.

Four of four get together.

One of the factions is composed of the city lords of Huolin City, Zhang He, the city lord of Zhalei City, Lei Ming, the city lord of Liusha City, Chen Chen, and the city lord of Jieyang City, Ouyang Yi.

The other faction consisted of four people wearing conical hats, black robes, golden robes, and jade armor.

Although the two factions did not use any soundproofing techniques, they rarely communicated with each other.

They were all talking in low voices to their own people.

Among them, Chen Chen, the Lord of Liusha City, looked at the two hundred people on the boulder and said to the three Lords of the city next to him:
"It seems that this may be the only strength we have left."

After hearing this, the Lord of Jieyang City sighed:
"That should be the case. I didn't expect that we would encounter such a monster when we went out to sea this time. No one from my Jieyang City escaped, even Brother Huang died."

The Brother Huang he mentioned was the deputy city lord of Jieyang City, a two-star Dou Zong, who was caught by the tentacles and swallowed up in an instant.

At this time, the Lord of Huolin City comforted:

"Brother Ouyang, there is no need to do this. At least Brother Ouyang can be safe here, so the situation is not too bad."

The Lord of Zhalei City also nodded.

The sound was muffled, with a hint of thunder:
"That's right. It would be good if all five of us city lords are here. You have to know that no one from Baiwen City escaped. The city lord and deputy city lord all died in that sea of ​​blood."

The four people on the other side were led by a man wearing a bamboo hat.

At this time, he was also looking at the person on the boulder.

The man in black robes looked down at the bottomless cliff below him and said with regret:
"Brother Qu, it seems that the price paid by our people from the Eight Cities for this trip is really too great."

The eight cities they came from, including Shui Qianmo, were all hostile to the other five cities including Xiong Ba in the outer domain.

Although he is at the level of city lords, he seldom takes action.

But below, there is often conflict.

This time, Xiong Ba intentionally released news that he had discovered an ancient relic of the Dou Zun realm in the Weird Domain.

Although they were on guard against Xiong Ba, they all coveted the Dou Zun ancient ruins.

So the eight cities united, discussed it, and decided to explore as well.

Who would have thought that this time, the loss would be so heavy.

Of the eight cities, there are only three city lords left, and a deputy city lord of Yujia City.

The loss was more than half!
They thought they had the upper hand this time, but now they are at a disadvantage.

If we fight with the five cities, I am afraid we will not have any advantage. Another deputy city lord of Yujia City, who was wearing jade armor, said angrily:
"This must be Xiong Ba's conspiracy! He must know that there is such a monster in that sea area! He is planning to take my uncle's life!"

His uncle is the lord of Yujia City.

He saw with his own eyes that his uncle was caught by the tentacles and eaten alive.

Even he himself was lucky enough to escape through the gap between the tentacles.

At this moment, his face showed relief for surviving the disaster, but also anger towards Xiong Ba.

He was just a one-star Dou Zong. His uncle was dead. After exploring the ancient ruins and returning to Yujia City, with his strength, he would probably become a vassal of the other city.

Therefore, he was extremely angry towards Xiong Ba.

Another person in a golden robe looked at the person in the bamboo hat with a twinkling look in his eyes, then turned to the deputy city lord of Yujia City and said to him in comfort:
"Brother Yu, please accept my condolences. Although City Lord Yu has met with misfortune, we still have City Lord Qu to take care of us. City Lord Qu will take our losses into consideration and will surely take care of us. You don't need to worry too much."

The man called Lord Qu, wearing a bamboo hat, no one could see his expression clearly.

He is the mayor of Tieyi City. He is a nine-star Dou Zong and has mastered a heavenly-level defensive fighting skill.

Although it is not perfect, it is not far from it.

This person is the strongest in the eight cities.

Although the previous Lord of Yujia City was also a veteran Nine-Star Dou Zong, he had not even mastered a single Heaven-level Dou Skill, and his strength was somewhat inferior to that of the Lord of Tieyi City.

The original eight cities were not a united front. The two city lords, Tieyi City and Yujia City, formed smaller alliances.

Now, the Lord of Yujia City died in the sea of ​​blood. If he goes out, the situation in the outside world will probably undergo tremendous changes again.

At this time, the man called the City Lord of Song had an old and stiff voice coming from his hat:

“This matter has nothing to do with Xiong Ba. He would not pay such a price and put himself in danger to harm us.

Although my eight cities suffered heavy losses, his five cities also suffered losses. With me, Qu Tieyi, here, you can just go into the ancient ruins without any worries."

After waiting for so many days, everything that should come should have come.

On Xiong Ba's side, the loss of Dou Zong's combat power was much smaller than theirs.

But below the Douhuang level, almost all the troops were wiped out.

Before seeing the ancient ruins, it would be impossible for them to pay such a price to murder themselves.

Xiong Ba is determined to obtain the ancient ruins. The exploration of the ancient ruins has not yet begun, and the resources have not been seen yet. He still needs people to explore the way. He should not do such a thing.

The treasure ship of City Lord Qu, who was wearing a conical hat, was also dragged down by the monster, and he was the only one who escaped.

But he didn't care too much.

Not many people in the outside world know that he had taken a contaminated Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill before, which not only caused him to fail to advance to the Dou Zun realm, but he also almost lost control.

Over the years, he has been suppressing the mad power in his body day and night, which has consumed him greatly. His own lifespan has been severely damaged. If he fails to advance to the rank of Dou Zun within ten years, he will have to return to heaven immediately.

This time, it was he who tried his best to gather people from the eight cities to explore the ancient ruins with Xiong Ba.

It is for the purpose of finding the uncontaminated Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill in this ancient ruins, so as to advance to the level of Dou Zun and increase one's lifespan.

In order to achieve Dou Zun and continue to survive, the lives of his subordinates are nothing to him.

Now standing here, he can already sense the ancient breath floating faintly from the big hole behind him.

He was very sure that there were ancient relics in this big cave.

He needed these people to explore for him.

Therefore, he spoke to calm the people on his side. (End of this chapter)
