Su Lie's expression did not change. It was as if he did not notice anything. He only silently watched as they retreated. As for Yu Ling, when she saw the gazes of those people, she glared back fiercely. She did not feel much fear.
There were a total of eleven people at the summit. Unsurprisingly, cyan robed man and the black-robed old man stayed behind, while cyan robed man actually abandoned the people who originally came with him, leaving behind Tang Ancestor, a third stage Revealing Astral Realm expert. As for the black-robed old man, he also left with the third stage Revealing Astral Realm expert beside him.
The stronger they were, the more confident they would be. Su Lie was not too surprised that they would make such a choice.
He just did not expect that cyan robed man would leave Tang Ancestor behind. They should have just met not long ago and he actually trusted Tang Ancestor so much. He wondered if cyan robed man was confident in himself or if they had reached some sort of agreement.
The other seven people slowly retreated. Their speed was not fast, and from their eyes, one could tell that they were unwilling to give up and hated Su Lie and the other two.
Su Lie, however, did not mind at all. They had only met by chance. If they came out of this relic later, they might not even meet again. Why bother about that?
Those people were retreating, but Su Lie did not rush to move. He did not panic to get closer, and only stared at the figures who were retreating.
He had to be careful, once they got close, and if those people came back to kill him, even if he was confident in his own strength, he would still not be able to beat so many Revealing Astral Realm experts, not to mention the fact that he had Yu Ling with him.
Even if they wanted to kill them back, they would need a lot of time. With this time, it would be enough for Su Lie's group to enter the cave and activate the ruins.
After ten breaths, Su Lie still had not moved.
Twenty breaths of time passed and he was still at his original position.
"..." As time slowly passed, the four people waiting for them at the top of the mountain frowned, as if they had lost their patience.
"Kid, just how long do you want us to stay here?"
Tang Ancestor couldn't help but shout angrily.
Thinking about how he was also a family's ancestor and had long since walked around outside, yet wanted to make him wait impatiently for the two juniors, he felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart. And the fact that Su Lie and Yu Ling had yet to make a move made him even more impatient.
"If you're in a hurry, make those people move faster!"
Su Lie said calmly.
Since he said that he would force them to retreat, then he would not miss even a single inch.
"You …"
Tang Ancestor's eyes were spitting fire, but as the corners of the green robed man's mouth twitched, he said something to him and forcefully suppressed himself.
After a full four to five minutes had passed, Su Lie finally nodded at Yu Ling. The two of them moved, and moved towards the cliff. At this time, Yu Ling also took out the special pill that could release the fog and placed it on her palm.
As the Su Lie duo approached, the eyes of the four people finally relaxed slightly and they revealed a faint trace of excitement.
"The four of you, hurry up and enter!"
Su Lie said.
He was worried that it would drag on for too long, and that the people who had just retreated would come back to kill him.
"My senior sister wants to set up some defenses around the cave entrance. Everyone here doesn't object. After all, we are the weaker party. If those friends of yours attack back, we won't be able to stop them!"
Su Lie looked at the four of them and said with a smile.
"Defense?"
The four people's eyes couldn't help but shift, while cyan robed man slightly frowned.
"What defensive measures?"
"Tang Ancestor has already seen it, it's just some fog. It can block some people with ill intentions for a short period of time. Once we leave, it will quickly disperse."
Su Lie stopped and looked at cyan robed man and the old man in black robes. It seemed that if they did not agree, he would immediately turn around and leave.
cyan robed man and the old man in black had slightly cold gazes. However, they were indeed afraid of this move of Su Lie's.
With such strength at such a young age, they were not afraid of waiting any longer. The longer he waited, the stronger his cultivation would become, but cyan robed man and the black-robed old man did not want to wait any longer.
It didn't matter if the remains were inheritances or treasures, they just wanted to get them as soon as possible and increase their strength. The more times they came here, the more easily their identities would be exposed, and it was very possible that someone would notice them.
"Little brother, we have agreed to your conditions. I hope you don't go too far, otherwise it will be very difficult for everyone to do so."
The old man's tone was gentle, but there was a hint of warning in his tone.
"Speaking of which, Su Lie and Su Qian did that only to protect themselves. Although the Yuan Sect remains are precious, the prerequisite is that they have to be alive to obtain them."
Su Lie said with a smile.
"Alright then!"
The four of them rushed down and took the lead to drill into the hole at the bottom of the cliff.
Su Lie and Yu Ling exchanged a glance before they moved. Within the time it took to take a few breaths, the two of them had also arrived outside the cave and saw the four people waiting for them inside the cave.
"Senior sister, if you can use poison in this fog, don't worry about all that. Use whatever you can."
Su Lie transmitted his voice to Yu Ling.
Yu Ling nodded inwardly. As the two of them reached the edge of the cave entrance, she clasped her hands together and sat down cross-legged. The Yuan Power in her body fluctuated slightly, and in an instant, a large amount of dense fog gushed out from her palms and spread in all directions.
"Humph!"
Seeing that fog again, Tang Ancestor could not help but snort angrily. He stared at Su Lie and Su Li and slowly said, "If you can come out from the ruins alive, we will still need to calculate the debt."
"At any time. However, we will not show any mercy next time."
Su Lie smiled as he looked at Tang Ancestor. However, his eyes had a trace of an ice-cold edge to them.
Tang Ancestor's breath paused slightly.
Previously, Yu Ling alone had severely injured more than ten of their Tang Clan's experts. Su Lie's words were not empty words. They really did have the strength to kill the Tang Clan's experts.
"Alright!"
After about ten minutes, Yu Ling finally clapped her hands and stood up.
The fog was also extremely strange. It was so thick outside the cave that nothing could be seen. However, no mist could be seen inside the cave. It was as if there was an invisible wall blocking the mist from entering the cave.
"Let's go in, the four of you!"
Su Lie waved his hand, indicating that the four of them should go first.
With Su Lie being this cautious, the other four could do nothing about it. They did not want to bother with Su Lie anymore, so they directly walked towards the cave.
What they were thinking of was to let Su Lie take out the Secret Key and activate the relic. Once they entered the relic, they wouldn't be so easy to deal with.
The cave was still extremely deep. However, Su Lie and Yu Ling had already explored the way once before, so they didn't panic at all.
The four people in front seemed to be somewhat anxious. Although the cave was bumpy and dark, the four of them still moved very quickly.
In just two or three minutes, they had reached the end of the cave and stood before the huge bronze door.
"This little brother, you should have taken out the Secret Key, right?"
The old man in black robe and cyan robed man walked out and stood in front of the door. The other two people stepped back a bit and gave them some space.
Su Lie nodded and walked over with large strides. With a flick of his wrist, a cold silver light flashed in his hand.
"Hu!"
Just at this moment, Tang Ancestor and the black robed elder's expert that was showing off his strength moved simultaneously. Both of their figures flashed and appeared beside Su Lie. Tang Ancestor extended his hand and grabbed onto Su Lie's hand, while the expert from the Revealing Astral Realm ruthlessly struck towards Su Lie's back.
"Brat, this key is not something a junior like you can possess …"
A cold light flashed in Tang Ancestor's eyes. A pitch-black Qi flow swirled on the claw that he had grabbed.
Not only did he want the key, he also wanted to cripple Su Lie's hand.
The moment the two moved, the corner of Su Lie's mouth couldn't help but reveal a hint of ridicule. He casually threw away the inch-long knife in his hand, clenched both of his fists, and then split them in two, attacking the two separately.
That knife was the one he used to cut his nails. He wanted to test if these people had any other intentions. He didn't expect them to actually act.
No matter how strong they were, they were still very strong. Even if they only sent four people in, four against two, they still had absolute odds of winning. However, before they saw the Secret Key s, they did not want to rashly take action.
"Bam!"
Two loud and heavy sounds rang out at the same time. A terrifying shockwave suddenly spread out and slammed against the cave wall, creating a dull rumbling sound.
"How is this possible?"
cyan robed man's and the black-robed old man's eyes narrowed.
Su Lie fought two alone, and those two even had the intention of launching a sneak attack. However, they were still blocked by Su Lie.
The black robed elder's expert, who was displaying his power, was knocked back by Su Lie's punch. As for Tang Ancestor, his arm trembled and his face paled slightly.
The two of them seemed to be at a disadvantage.
"Is this your plan?"
Su Lie still stood at the same spot with a calm and composed expression. He looked at cyan robed man and the old man in black, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. It was as if two rays of sword light had pierced into their bodies.
The two of them felt a chill in their hearts. They never thought that Su Lie, who was so young, would actually have such a high level of cultivation. He was actually above them.
The expression in Tang Ancestor's and the other expert's eyes quickly changed. There was surprise, shock, and disbelief … When the two of them, who were at the third level of the Revealing Astral Realm, attacked at the same time, they thought that it was a certain thing, but they actually failed.
"Senior Sister, let's go!"
Su Lie snorted lightly and swept his gaze across the four before turning around with large strides.
"Little brother, everything is negotiable. We were in the wrong just now, but since ancient times, only true experts would have the qualifications to fight over the treasures. It wouldn't be too much to try out the cultivation levels of the two of you, right?"
The old man in black took a step forward and said.
