From their current position, they were at least thousands of feet away from the cliff where the Yuan Gate ruins were located. However, they were able to see everything that was happening around the cliff.
"Maybe, we can think of a way to get the other two keys, then the whole relic will be ours."
She thought for a while and murmured.
"It won't work?"
Su Lie could not help but shake his head and said: "If we were to rouse them, the two men with the Secret Key would probably escape immediately. Next time, if we want to gather them, it might not be so easy."
Since the two of them dared to come here, they must be well-prepared. Naturally, they weren't too weak and wouldn't be easy to deal with. Furthermore, they had to be extra careful and careful.
"Hmm? "Why did that old fellow from the Tang Clan get mixed up with another group of people?"
Su Lie's expression suddenly changed as he stared in the direction of the ruins' cliff.
At this moment, a few figures appeared and flew through the air. They landed on the summit of the mountain cliff. Su Lie was among them and saw the old ancestor of the Tang Clan. As for the remaining people, he did not recognize any of them.
"Those people should be holding another key, right?"
Yu Ling immediately turned around to look at them.
Su Lie nodded and said, "Very likely."
"There are too many of them. Including that old man from the Tang Clan, we are not his match at all."
Yu Ling frowned.
That group of people had a total of six people, but they were all experts of the Revealing Astral Realm. This kind of strength truly surpassed Su Lie and the other two by too much.
If all of them were to enter the ruins and fight, they would be able to easily take care of Su Lie and Xiao Kun.
He had to think of a way!
As long as he entered the relic, these people would definitely be competitors. He had to find a way to weaken their strength, or else, it would be meaningless for them to go.
At this moment, another group of people arrived in the sky, gradually approaching the peak of the cliff.
There were only five of them, and one of them was even a Earth Origin Stage. However, the strongest was also a powerhouse at the third level of the Revealing Astral Realm.
"This is troublesome …"
Su Lie's heart sank.
He had expected the other two to be well-prepared and come back, but he hadn't expected that the strength they brought with them would be this strong.
Generally speaking, within the empire, there were very few Revealing Astral Realm Rankers. He did not understand why there were suddenly so many Revealing Astral Realm Rankers.
"Let's go and take a look as well."
After pondering for a long time, he still could not think of any viable method. Sighing lightly, Su Lie stood up and grabbed the mask that hung on his chest.
Yu Ling still covered her face with a handkerchief as she followed behind Su Lie.
The two of them had already changed into green robes and there were no markings on their bodies. Those people probably wouldn't be able to recognize them. The only thing to worry about was Tang Ancestor, he definitely knew Su Lie's identity.
When Su Lie and Yu Ling appeared, those people at the top of the cliff also turned to look at them. Besides Tang Ancestor, those people were also wearing black masks.
They were also worried, that if they couldn't enter the relic this time, once their identities were exposed, someone would try to take the key from them.
"Just two little fellows?"
When those people saw Su Lie and Xiao Kun, they were obviously stunned.
Although Su Lie and Yu Ling had covered their faces, their auras could not be covered. Those people were all experts of the Revealing Astral Realm, so they could naturally feel them clearly.
Tang Ancestor glanced at the two of them and could not help but grunt. He stared at Yu Ling with eyes burning with rage.
Even though he had never seen Yu Ling's face before, but she was the only girl here when Yu Ling showed up at this time. It was too easy to confirm her identity.
"Was it you who sent the message?"
A person shrouded in a black robe spoke. His voice was hoarse and old. He should not be young at all.
"That's right!"
Su Lie slowly walked in the air and nodded.
"Alright, I don't care who sent the message. Since everyone's gathered, then let's hurry up and activate the relic so we won't have too much time to waste."
On the other side, the leader of the group, a man wearing a green robe, urged Jiang Chen.
"Wait!"
Su Lie shook his head and said: "You guys couldn't be thinking of seeing the two of us being so weak and being so easily bullied, right?"
"You're the one who sent the message for us to come here. Now that we're here, are we still enjoying the scenery without entering the ruins?"
The character of the person in the green robe seemed to be extremely irritable.
Su Lie couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Naturally, I also wanted to enter this relic, but I didn't expect that so many of you would come here. With just the two of us, if we followed you into the relic, would we still have a chance of coming out alive?"
"Then what does this little brother want to do?"
The black-robed old man asked in a hoarse voice.
"If you want to enter the relic, you must be like us, each side can only enter two people. If you can't agree to this condition, we will immediately leave."
Su Lie said resolutely.
"Leave?"
Tang Ancestor's robe was wrinkled and his hair was a bit messy. Hearing that, he sneered and said, "Since you guys have already appeared, do you really think you can escape?"
"Is that what the two of you mean?"
Su Lie looked towards cyan robed man and the old man in black robes.
The two looked at each other as if they were weighing the pros and cons.
"This little brother has said that, us being able to reach the Secret Key is our fate, how would we do something like stealing another's opportunity."
The black-robed old man said in a friendly manner.
"But... "Little bro, can you change your condition? We have already promised all the people around us that we will take them into the relic."
The old man in black spoke again.
"That's right!"
That cyan robed man also nodded.
"If that's the case, then there's nothing left to talk about."
Su Lie shook his head before turning to Yu Ling and shouting, "Senior Sister, let's go!"
The two of them turned around and left.
The two groups of people looked at each other, and each of them could not help but tighten their eyes.
"Wait!"
The old man in black robe was silent for a moment before he shouted at Su Lie and Su Qian.
Su Lie's body trembled slightly. He turned around and looked at those people, and said: "Is there anything else?"
"Could the two of you give us some time to discuss?"
The black-robed elder said.
Su Lie thought for a moment and then nodded his head. He opened his mouth and said: "I can, but I can't spend too much time here."
Su Lie was also afraid that they would leave some tricks up their sleeves. If they wasted too much time, they might fall into their trap.
The two groups of people split up and started discussing at the top of the mountain. After a few sentences, cyan robed man's group started arguing.
Those people were all communicating via soul force. Although Su Lie didn't know what they were talking about, he didn't seem very satisfied.
"Su Lie, even if they only have two people entering, I'm afraid we are not their match."
Yu Ling was also worried.
Amongst those people, cyan robed man and the black-robed old man were definitely going to go in. The two of them had the cultivation of Revealing Astral Realm, while the black-robed old man was a little weak, but he had at least reached the peak of the first level of Manifestation.
Not only that, among those people, there were two at the 3rd level of the Astral Nova.
If it was one on one, Su Lie would naturally not be afraid. He could even beat a third level Rankers on the Inner Sect's Heavenly Rankings, and he had absolute confidence in defeating the third level Rankers outside. However, if he were to face the four of them at the same time, he would also be in danger.
However, Yu Ling should be able to stop one of them. If it was only against three people, Su Lie would have some confidence. Moreover, after entering the ruins, the other two parties might not necessarily be of the same mind.
"If they only get four people in, we still have a chance at victory. If we really have to fight, you can just help me stall for one of them."
Su Lie whispered to Yu Ling.
"But, even if they don't enter, if they stay outside, even if we obtain treasures, we will have no chance to leave."
Yu Ling was usually eccentric and domineering, but in the end, he was still just a little girl. He still felt a little diffident in his heart when faced with those experienced and strong practitioners.
"This is indeed a problem, but there is no other way. We must take the risk and go all out."
Su Lie said seriously.
Yu Ling's small hands tightened when she heard Su Lie's words.
"Do you have any poison that you can control freely?"
Su Lie thought for a moment, then whispered into Yu Ling's ear.
"Yes!"
Yu Ling nodded.
"Can it threaten the Revealing Astral Realm Rankers?"
Su Lie asked again.
"We can at least weaken their strength by 30%."
Yu Ling said.
"30%?"
Su Lie went silent for a moment and then said: "There isn't much of a difference, but it should be enough."
Su Lie used his Origin Energy to send a sound transmission to Yu Ling, explaining the plan in his heart in detail.
"Alright, I understand."
Yu Ling smiled, her expression becoming a lot more relaxed.
Actually, poison that could be freely controlled, and to also be able to reduce the strength of the Revealing Astral Realm Ranker by 30%, was already an extremely terrifying poison.
"They will definitely not let go of this opportunity and will probably agree to my condition. Later on, I will force them to let the remaining people leave, and after entering the cave, you immediately activate the fog and seal this cliff, don't let them come near, and give us time to enter the relic."
Su Lie explained in a low voice.
Yu Ling nodded and clapped her hands. "Leave it to me."
At the top of the cliff, the two groups of people were discussing. Su Lie and Yu Ling were also discussing. Time slowly passed.
"Alright, we agree to your conditions."
After a full ten minutes, the black-robed old man spoke in a hoarse voice to Su Lie and Su Qian.
"That won't be a problem. Now, apart from the four of you who want to enter the cave, all of you should back off. At the very least, move at least three thousand meters away."
Su Lie said.
After the old man and cyan robed man were silent for a moment, they waved their hands and the rest of the people left.
The two of them seemed to have already predicted that Su Lie would make such a condition and did not waste any more time arguing with Su Lie.
