The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

643: Chapter 639: The Entrance to the Ruins 643: Chapter 639: The Entrance to the Ruins Ruins Ridge.

In the morning, the sun already hung high in the sky.

Streaks of golden light spilled through the dense forest, cascading over the collapsed ancient city walls and the decrepit ancient buildings.

The ancient structures, permeated with the traces of time, were mottled in layers.

Time had torn open, using these city walls and buildings as vessels, presenting a chilling desolation and cluttered antiquity.

The murderous aura filled with the passage of years emanated from the corpses and broken blades beneath the ancient city walls and buildings, carrying a coldness.

As sunlight fell, it finally added a touch of warmth.

Lin Tian, Wang Simeng, and others stood atop a section of the collapsed city wall, staring at the heaps of corpses and weapons piled up like mountains before them, all falling silent for a moment.

Ancient battlefield, strewn with corpses!

No one knew how many lives had perished here, exchanged for an open-air “graveyard” that now lies unburied before them!

“Good heavens, it’s unclear which dynasty this was from, whether these were regular soldiers or cultivators, but their weapons, all so strange, seem to bear patterns; could they indeed be cultivators?

However, amassing such a vast army of cultivators requires what kind of strength?”

After a long silence, Situ Xiu surveyed the surroundings and was the first to sigh, his expression revealing admiration and awe.

Whoever could assemble an army of cultivators, such a person, would doubtlessly be an existence at the peak.

“You fatty, you actually have some good eye power!

Judging from the current situation, it’s likely an army of cultivators!

Even if their cultivation wasn’t high, at most at the Qi Refining First or Second Level, it’s still astonishing!”

Hee Tianci glanced at Situ Xiu, then nodded slightly, expressing admiration, and spoke, “The weapons in their hands, they should be Quasi Magical Artifacts!”

“Ah?

Quasi Magical Artifacts?

Could those patterns really be Magic Patterns?”

Situ Xiu suddenly exclaimed, then, shaking his plump giant body, he jumped down from the breach in the city wall to approach a weapon among the corpses.

Quasi Magical Artifacts, even in today’s Cultivation World, were exceedingly precious; naturally, the fatty was overjoyed.

However,

Just as his hand touched those weapons, a rustling sound was heard, and the rust-covered Iron Sword he brushed against turned into a pile of dust, along with the bones and remains beneath it, returning to dust.

“This…

it has all turned to dust!”

Wang Simeng’s face showed shock as she spoke to Hee Tianci, “Big Senior Brother, how old must this be?”

“It’s very likely from the Qin Dynasty thousands of years ago, or even from the more distant Ancient Era!”

Another young man, Ximen You, sighed and marveled.

Whoosh~

As their words ended, a gust of fierce wind suddenly blew over the edges of Ruins Ridge, sweeping across the ancient city walls and buildings.

The corpses and armor lying below, like piles of sand and stones, were blown away in an instant, turning into a shower of sand scattered among the trees on the other side.

The traces of the ancient battlefield were swept away by the wind in the blink of an eye, leaving not a trace behind.

“We cultivators, no matter how we cultivate against the heavens, within this endless stream of countless ages, in the end, we’re nothing but a clod of yellow earth!”

He Tianci looked at everything before him and suddenly sighed, shaking his head with a wry smile, “But, since I’ve come this far in life, I might as well strive for a dazzling path!

Some things are indeed worth fighting for!

Fatty, continue leading the way!”

Fatty Situ Xiu shook his head helplessly, chuckled bitterly, and then continued walking forward along the low ridges of Ruins Ridge.

Lin Tian remained silent, glancing at the ancient city walls and buildings that had been concealed by arrays, following the others with his expression unchanged.

He had noticed these arrays when he first entered Ruins Ridge; they were only the most basic Illusion Arrays and defensive formations, which were already crumbling and precarious due to the long passage of time.

The arrival of people disturbed the Spiritual Energy, rendering the arrays completely useless, exposing the city walls, buildings, and those corpses.

Including the Dead Forest, where vitality was scarce, it was related to the numerous Killing Arrays laid out here.

Although the arrays were ancient, they posed little danger to ordinary people.

But over time, the vegetation here couldn’t withstand it, resulting in such a desolate scene.

Along the way, Lin Tian found that they had passed seven or eight Killing Arrays, which were now practically negligible, disappearing before they could even be triggered.

Wang Simeng and the other three couldn’t even sense them.

“It’s just ahead, the ridge where we mined raw stones is just beyond this hollow!”

After another ten or so minutes, Fatty Situ Xiu pointed to a hollow up ahead and warned the others, “Be careful, our people touched an array there and died inexplicably!

It’s said to be close to the core of Ruins Ridge, so we need to be cautious…”

Upon hearing this, a slight chill crossed the faces of Wang Simeng and the others.

Even Lin Tian showed a visibly moved expression.

The deeper they went, the denser the Spiritual Energy became, and they could faintly sense the fluctuations of arrays.

Once they crossed the hollow, an open space appeared before them, with a forest that was relatively sparse, offering an excellent view.

Looking up, they could see traces of mining on a mountain ridge opposite, next to which was the entrance to a valley.

Especially at the entrance of the valley, there was a pile of rocks with a stone sculpture on top, depicting a figure with three heads and six arms, exuding an eerie aura.

Beside the sculpture, there was also a stele, on which three characters could be vaguely seen—”Ancient Wind City!”

“Ancient Wind City?

I’ve never heard of an ancient city from that dynasty.

It’s most likely an Ancient Relic!

The Ancient Cultivation World that didn’t even leave a trace in history books…

if we can get the treasures, we’re set!”

Situ Xiu, with a pair of small eyes emitting a green glow, excitedly muttered to himself, “Past the stele is the valley.

Looks like this is the entrance to the ruins of Ancient Wind City!

Hey, we didn’t discover it last time we were here; it seems the arrays were still intact back then!”

Meanwhile, Wang Simeng, with a jubilant face, spoke to He Tianci and the others, “Let’s hurry in and take a look.

If this really is an ancient city from the Ancient Cultivation World, there could be numerous treasures!

Perfect, let them lead the way in front!”

“Wait!

There’s trouble.

It looks like we’re not the only ones here, and…”

He Tianci suddenly shouted, then looked up in another direction, his face turning solemn, and he added with a wry smile, “Moreover, whether we can get a share of the spoils is questionable!”

As he finished speaking.

On the mountain ridges stretching to the horizon, dots appeared from east and west, dozens in number, accompanied by the faint sound of objects slicing through the air.

Clearly, there were two more groups approaching from either side.

And, both groups had nearly twenty people.

Far outnumbering He Tianci’s group.

“You two, one at the Qi Refining First Level and the other an ordinary man, were originally going to scout ahead for us, but that’s not necessary now!”

At that moment, He Tianci turned back to look at Situ Xiu and Lin Tian, his brow furrowed slightly as he shook his head, “If you stay, the people coming might use you as bait or human shields.

So, you should leave now…”
