Chapter 2334

Tang Ruqing

"When you entered the island, you should have been registered, right?

I believe you will soon be assigned cave residences. "The grey-robed woman looked at Xiao Lang and the others.

"Registered?

No, we came in directly. We didn't meet anyone on the way, "Xiao Lang said in surprise.

The grey-robed woman frowned slightly and said, "How is that possible?

There are always two guards at the end of the bridge. When you entered the island, you were recorded by those two guards. How is it possible that you didn't meet them? "

Xiao Lang spread his hands and said, "We did see two cave residences at the end of the bridge. However, there was no one there, so we came in by ourselves."

The grey-robed woman pondered for a moment and sighed softly, "You can stay in my cave residence first. Since the guards aren't here, something might have happened. I will go and ask around. You should know that if you live on the island without being registered, you will easily be treated as an alien. At that time, other cultivators on the island will denounce you."

Xiao Lang and the others looked at each other and nodded seriously. After all, the grey-robed woman was so cautious that she obviously didn't deceive them.

Under the grey-robed woman's lead, the four of them entered her cave residence.

Through the conversation between the grey-robed woman and Xiao Lang, Zhuowen learned that the grey-robed woman's name was Tang Ruqing. She was also a rogue cultivator. Her cultivation was at the early stage of the Void Heaven Eighth Step, but her refining skills were well-known throughout the Six Desires Heavenly Domain.

Zhuowen knew that Tang Ruqing didn't have a good impression of him because of Xiao Lang's words at the beginning, so he didn't say much.

Tang Ruqing was obviously not an unreasonable woman. When she found that Zhuowen was silent, her tone softened a lot, and she didn't show the disdain she had at the beginning.

Tang Ruqing's cave residence was very large. There were seven or eight rooms inside, and most of them were refining materials.

She casually tidied up and chose four rooms for Zhuowen, Xiao Lang, and the others to live in.

"By the way, since the four of you passed the second checkpoint, you should have a corresponding reward. Do you want to go to the center of the island with me to receive the reward?" Tang Ruqing looked at Zhuowen and the others and asked.

"That's good too. If we can obtain rare materials, I hope you can help us a little," Xiao Lang said with a smile.

Tang Ruqing smiled and said, "There's no need to say such things between friends."

"By the way, Miss Tang, the four of us are unfamiliar faces. When we go out, I'm afraid we'll be recognized by others." Zhuowen voiced his concern.

Tang Ruqing smiled faintly. "Don't worry. Most of the cultivators who enter this place are stubborn. All they think about is how to pass the third stage. They don't have time to chat, so most of the cultivators don't know each other."

"Even if you are unfamiliar faces, it is impossible to arouse the suspicion of other cultivators. Moreover, most of the cultivators here are in seclusion. It will be difficult for you to meet them on the road, unless it is the guard of the bridge or that Ancestor Lu."

When Tang Ruqing mentioned Ancestor Lu, Zhuowen saw a hint of reverence in her eyes. It seemed that the Ancestor Lu she was talking about was not a simple person.

"Let's go. As long as there are no unfamiliar caves here, we won't attract the attention of others. Now, follow me to the center of the island."

As Tang Ruqing spoke, he led Zhuowen, Xiao Lang and the other two towards the center of the island in the depths of the valley.

While Tang Ruqing's group of five were heading towards the center of the island, in the middle of the valley, there was a hidden cave dwelling hidden within the waterfall.

Inside the cave, the slightly plump cultivator was trembling as he knelt on one knee. In front of him, there was a stone pillar. The top of the stone pillar was as smooth as a mirror, and a stalwart figure was sitting cross-legged on it.

Beside the stone pillar, a beautiful figure suddenly stood there without saying a word.

"What happened at the bridge?"

The stalwart figure sitting cross-legged on the stone pillar was a rather young man. He had a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, red lips, and white teeth. He was a rare handsome man.

The slightly plump cultivator hurriedly said, "Ancestor Lu, it's actually like this. Judith and I have always been dutifully guarding the bridge, but today, I discovered that there were terrifying battle fluctuations coming from the other side of the bridge. The entire bridge was shaking."

"In order to find out the reason, and for the safety of the other fellow daoists on the island, we risked our lives to see what was going on in front of the bridge. We didn't go far before we saw a challenger fighting with Sam."

"After all, we are fellow daoists. When the challenger was fighting with Sam, we were quite worried. We were eager to save people, so we went to help. However, Sam was too powerful. Not only did he injure me, Judith also died …"

At this point, the slightly plump cultivator didn't continue. He knew that there was no need to say what happened next. Ancestor Lu had more or less guessed it.

"What form is Sam in?" Ancestor Lu asked indifferently.

The slightly plump cultivator's eyes flickered as he forced a smile and said, "It's in the form of an animal …"

However, before he could finish his words, he was struck in the chest by a huge force and was sent flying, crashing into the rock wall behind him.

"If Sam was in the form of an animal, would you be so afraid?" Ancestor Lu said indifferently.

The slightly plump cultivator hurriedly knelt down and said, "Ancestor Lu is indeed perceptive. Sam is in human form!"

"What happened to the challenger?" Ancestor Lu asked with interest.

"This subordinate ran away, but before I left, Sam completely suppressed the challenger. I'm afraid … it's over …" The slightly plump cultivator said cautiously.

Ancestor Lu nodded. He had experienced how strong Sam was in human form. If he hadn't been lucky enough at that time, he might have died at Sam's hands.

Ancestor Lu was quite interested that the challenger could attract the attention of Sam in human form. As for whether that cultivator could also defeat Sam in human form, he also felt that it was very unlikely.

"You can leave. I won't nominate any more guards for the bridge!" Ancestor Lu said rather heroically.

The slightly plump cultivator trembled. He looked up at the man on the stone pillar excitedly and said, "Ancestor Lu, could it be that you …"

"Yes, I'm coming out of seclusion!"

Ancestor Lu smiled faintly and slowly stood up with his hands behind his back. There was a soul-stirring aura lingering around his body.

"Congratulations, Ancestor Lu!"

The slightly plump cultivator hurriedly bowed on the ground and then left the cave abode with excitement.

The slightly plump cultivator knew very well what it meant for Ancestor Lu to come out of seclusion. It meant that he was going to challenge the third level.

Moreover, Ancestor Lu had said that if he came out of seclusion, he would lead the cultivators on the island to the third island. He would never go back on his words.

It was precisely because of Ancestor Lu's promise and the fact that he was indeed the most talented cultivator on this island and had the deepest understanding of space-time law that the cultivators on the island unanimously regarded him as their leader.

Moreover, most of the cultivators' resources were given to Ancestor Lu so that he could quickly comprehend the power of space-time law. If he could create a space-time law ability, it would naturally be best.

Ancestor Lu carried the high hopes of many cultivators on the island for the arrival of this day.
