Chapter 253 Old House
Hu Chengcai was clearly using this opportunity to settle personal scores.
Seeing that he was getting more and more into the fight, Yun Fuzhao stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar, "Alright, let's get down to business."
Hu Chengcai stood up and kicked the other man again before he was satisfied.
Yun Fuzhao accepted the inner flames of the eight members of the He family without hesitation. After taking their inner flames, an array quickly appeared beneath their feet, and in the blink of an eye, they were teleported outside.
Yun Fuzhao placed the eight Heart Flames at his waist. If he put them in his storage bag, the other party might take the treasures in the storage bag along with them when they tried to steal it.
"It looks like it's getting foggy."
Yu Zhiyue exclaimed in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Yun Fuzhao's heart leaped into her throat. She looked around and, sure enough, the vegetation was shrouded in a thin mist.
Soon it reached the point where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
"Everyone stay close together, don't get separated."
Hu Chengcai was terrified and couldn't care less about anything else. He clung tightly to Yun Fuzhao's arm and hid behind her.
outside world.
After the He family members were teleported out, they attracted the attention of a small group of people.
"What's going on? If I remember correctly, the He family and the Nameless Family were assigned to the same area, right? Why isn't it the Nameless Family that came out?"
The He family members were extremely embarrassed upon hearing this.
“That kid leading the nameless family is no ordinary person,” a member of the He family said, sticking out his neck. “He’s incredibly eccentric!”
The disciples watching burst into laughter, "Alright, alright, don't we know what kind of strength the Nameless Family has? A mistake is a mistake, why are you making others look bad?"
When the He family member saw that they didn't believe him, he became anxious. "I'm telling the truth. That lotus-shaped thing of his is really strange."
"Since you put it that way, I'll have to see what's so special about them."
Several disciples arrived in front of the projection stone of the Nameless Clan, with the attitude of watching a show.
"This year's aristocratic family competition has become much more difficult. They've even arranged this kind of hidden mission."
"Let me guess, the Nameless Clan will definitely fall into a trap here. They might even have all their inner fire taken away."
Those watching certainly agreed.
In the scene, the thick fog gradually dissipates, revealing a retro old house.
Yun Fuzhao's heart pounded wildly. If she remembered correctly, this was supposed to be the Grand Clan Competition, so why was there a side event?
Yu Zhiyue was most afraid of these old houses, especially those with two big red lanterns hanging on the front gate. "Master, what is this? Am I hallucinating?"
Bu Xiuwei: "I saw it too. I have a bad feeling about it."
Chang San: "It's right in front of us. Do we have to go in before we can move forward?"
"I'll go look around for other exits." Yun Fuzhao swallowed silently. To be honest, the eerie blue flames on the tree, combined with the suddenly appearing old house, reminded Yun Fuzhao of some horror movies.
It's a grand competition among aristocratic families, so don't come up with these weird and strange things!
In fact, it wasn't just them; all the aristocratic families who entered encountered this situation.
Chang San was worried about him going alone, so he immediately said, "I'll go with you."
Yun Fuzhao nodded, "Alright. You wait for us here."
Yu Zhiyue: "Be careful."
Yun Fuzhao and Chang San bypassed the old house that had appeared out of nowhere and went around to see if there was an exit.
Unexpectedly, they ran into the Yuchi family, who were also on their way.
"Yun Chao!"
Yuchi Gong was somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect to run into you like this."
Chang San instinctively became wary. He lowered his voice and said, "There are only two of us, and there are eight of them. We have no chance of winning."
"Don't worry, I know him well."
Moreover, even if they wanted to take it from her, they might not be able to win.
Yuchi Gong also saw the towering old mansion and said, "This is a new hidden quest in this aristocratic family competition. We just helped an old woman who got lost, and she gave us a Heartfire."
Yu Chi Yan sighed, "This old house looks like it has a lot of inner fire."
One of the disciples of the Yuchi family said, "Boss, shouldn't we rob the Nameless Family first?"
You don't even say these things behind her back?
Both Yuchi Gong and Yuchi Yan are loyal and righteous people. Although they have only known Yun Fuzhao for a short time, they both genuinely consider him a friend and would never do something like kicking someone when they are down.
"What are you robbing? She's in cahoots with us."
Seeing this, the man stopped talking.
"So you're not planning to take over this old house?"
"Is there still a choice?"
“Hmm. If you choose it, you get the Heart Flame; if you don’t, you don’t.” Yuchi Gong was somewhat eager to try. “I’m planning to go take a look at this old house. Do you want to come with us? We can split the Heart Flames we get.”
This is a good deal.
Yun Fuzhao wasn't originally considered, but upon hearing that there was a Heart Flame to be obtained, he decided to give it a try.
At that time, they might not even need to fight against those powerful families to achieve a good ranking.
"Okay."
So the group walked back together.
Yun Fuzhao noticed that there was something special about the clothes and shoes they were wearing.
"Ah, you mean this? This is a sixth-grade magic artifact specifically designed to withstand harsh environments."
Each person should have one of the sixth-grade magical artifacts.
Jealousy changes people beyond recognition.
Yun Fuzhao and the others went back.
The members of the nameless family immediately became wary upon seeing the Yuchi family. However, they only relaxed their guard slightly after Yun Fuzhao briefly explained the reason.
Xun Liu pulled Yun Fuzhao aside and said, "You can't completely trust the Yuchi family. I heard they're planning to climb the rankings this time, and they might use us as stepping stones..."
Yun Fuzhao nodded. "I know, it's always good to be careful. But given the current situation, cooperating with them is the best option."
Apart from Yun Fuzhao and the Yuchi siblings, the rest of the people distrusted each other extremely.
Yun Fuzhao and the Yuchi siblings took the lead.
The closer you get to the old house, the more authentic the details of the mansion become.
It's as if this mansion truly exists within this illusory sea.
Yuchi Gong knocked cautiously on the door. After a while, a servant opened the door, revealing a narrow eye looking at them. "Are you all here for our young lady's one-month celebration?"
Yun Fuzhao and Yuchi Gong exchanged a glance, and she said, "Yes."
Upon hearing the affirmative answer, the servant immediately beamed, opened the door, and greeted them with a smile, "Please come in, gentlemen."
Yun Fuzhao stepped inside, and the instant she entered, she discovered that there was no spiritual energy inside at all.
Without spiritual energy, she couldn't try out many of her moves.
This is going to be a bit troublesome.
Yuchi Gong also realized this problem. He whispered to Yun Fuzhao, "Our Yuchi family refines spears that can protect us even without spiritual energy. Can you do that?"
Yun Fuzhao herself was fine, after all, she still had Tai'a in her possession.
The thought had barely formed when the servant, whose face was unnaturally pale, said, "For safety reasons, may I have the swords at your waists, gentlemen?"
