Chapter 735: Chapter 538: The New Demon God Organ and — The Wulan Clan, The Battle for the Ruins!_3
Moreover, its appearance was so astounding—could this actually be the legendary Medium-level Relic?!
Wumu pondered for a moment, then waved the children away: “You all should go home first. Don’t mess around, diligent study and practice are the true path!”
“Take responsibility for your own lives!”
The children went home.
The adults were just as excited; nearly everyone was discussing the sudden emergence of the relic!
This news was like a storm, sweeping through the entire city in an instant.
The atmosphere in Wulan City shifted dramatically. Everyone was readying themselves, full of anticipation and eager discussion. If not for the fact that 1600 Feili was such a far distance, many would have already set out on their own.
Wealth truly moves people!
But they also understood that relics often come with dangers… When the Low-level Relic was discovered before, a swarm of giant spiders had appeared, causing substantial casualties before they were finally defeated.
Medium-level Relics… their danger level is absolutely beyond the scope of what a single person could withstand.
The sound of bells rang out.
Wumu was quickly summoned by the City Lord. As a Level 5 Master, he had essentially reached the pinnacle of the Wulan Clan—a significant achievement, considering the lack of abundant resources. Level 5 Masters are exceedingly rare.
Only a select few genius Nobles, using carefully guarded methods, can achieve Level 6, or even Level 7!
These methods are never revealed, as preserving their military superiority is the way Nobles ensure their perpetual inheritance of wealth and power.
“Warriors, you’ve all heard about this situation.”
The bearded City Lord, carrying a Great Sword, sprawled confidently on his chair. His expression held a mix of seriousness and killing intent: “We must hurry to investigate the relic and confirm its exact level.”
“Drive out every single foreign explorer!”
“This is our great opportunity!” His voice trembled slightly.
A chorus of murmurs arose in the grand hall; everyone was utterly inspired.
Wumu shared their enthusiasm, clutching the amulet in his pocket tightly—the one his wife had prayed for at the temple.
The City Lord’s tone softened slightly: “And don’t worry; though the relic is surrounded by multiple cities, we are the closest to it. We have the advantage of striking first.”
Pangu Continent truly was vast and sparsely populated.
1600 Feili wasn’t such a large number.
“Everyone, prepare your logistics and supplies. You have only two hours. Once time is up, we’ll depart immediately!”
“For those who earn battle merits in this operation, military merits will be doubled!”
At this, the soldiers finally felt their morale soar, eyes ablaze with the fire of ambition.
In this era, the only way for commoners to climb the social ladder was through military achievements!
“Secure a future for the children!” Wumu returned home, excitedly donning his family’s ancestral tiger-skin undershirt and retrieving an heirloom dagger, breathing a few puffs on its blade.
He had two sons and a little daughter.
His two sons were already nearing the age of starting their own families.
His little daughter was just three years old, a precious gem in their family. Her dowry in the future would also be a significant expenditure.
His wife was a bit worried. A Level 5 Master venturing into the wilderness at this time of year carried considerable risk of death.
“Dad, good luck!” Boys always seemed carefree.
Only his little daughter pouted her lips, looking unhappy.
Wumu laughed heartily, picking her up and tickling her face with his beard.
The little girl finally giggled: “Daddy, you’re so annoying!”
And so, after preparations were complete, a mighty elite task force officially set out.
The total number was just over two hundred, but the lowest combat power among them was Level 4 Master level!
Most of Wulan City’s elite forces were concentrated here, making this two-hundred-strong group a formidable fighting force indeed.
The journey was silent, interrupted only by the thud of hooves on the snow and the increasingly heavy breathing of the riders.
Even for the fastest double-horned horses, 1600 Feili was not a short distance. A long trek of 3-4 days would be required.
Two days later, they could faintly see, from afar, the “Mirage” hovering in mid-air—it was truly a city floating in the sky!
Emerald-green vines hung down from the walls, the surface of which had a slightly weathered gray hue, as though no one had lived there for ages.
The streets were filled with an assortment of strange mechanical constructs, their metallic surfaces glinting dully. Mold and moss crept up little by little, giving the city a faint air of time’s passage.
Yet overall, the city remained remarkably well-preserved—ancient yet undamaged.
“Inspect the engravings on the walls!” the City Lord ordered.
Immediately, several soldiers’ eyes lit up.
Wumu, too, carefully surveyed the scene. As an advanced patrol soldier, his eyesight was incredibly sharp, piercing through the layers of accumulated snow.
“Reporting to the City Lord! We’ve discovered numerous engravings on the walls, but they’re too far for us to see clearly!”
“But there are definitely plenty of engravings! They include Solid Runes, Concealing Runes, Concrete Wall Iron Wall Runes… This relic is far superior to the one near Maige City!”
The level of a relic had a fairly straightforward way of being determined—the number and complexity of engravings on it.
If a relic had sparse or no engravings, then it was almost certainly a Low-level Relic.
Low-level Relics were the most common.
If the Wulan Clan were to be wiped out, their remains would ultimately become a Low-level Relic in the future.
But if the engravings were abundant enough, the probability of a relic being Medium-level or even Advanced-level would rise dramatically!
Upon hearing this, everyone’s blood surged, urging their horses forward faster; their spirits soared.
“This ancient city may exist in a mysterious Different Space for reasons unknown.”
