4173 Five Camps
They did not move very fast along the way. Perhaps it was because Jian Wushuang was only a Ruler of the fourth level, the three of them did not guard against him too much. Therefore, they became familiar with each other after a while.
From their conversation, Jian Wushuang gradually came to know the identities of the three people. the wizardry elder was known as the Water Sorcerer Ruler. he was a veteran Ultimate Ruler who had lived through dozens of chaos cycles. in terms of power, he was also a peak Ultimate Ruler. he was much stronger than the Star Ruler and the Heavenly Ruler.
The boy and girl were his disciples. The boy’s name was Ran Gu, and the girl’s name was Qingxi.
The three of them came from a remote Starfield, which could be considered an Overlord in that Starfield. However, it was obviously not enough to be placed in the Tarot Ruins. To them, it would be good if they could obtain some good fortune in the Tarot Ruins, but even if they could not, the Water Sorcerer Ruler could bring his disciples to see the world.
Water Sorcerer Ruler had originally brought a total of three disciples with him. However, a hundred years ago, his eldest disciple had been killed by a team of Ultimate Rulers from a top force in the ruins. It was also this turn of events that made Water Sorcerer Ruler realize his own shortcomings, which was why he had decided to rely on the famous Ninth Kalpa King in the ruins.
However, based on Jian Wushuang’s understanding of the Ninth Kalpa King, these people’s thoughts would probably be in vain.
“Blood Sword, now that there are various forces in the ruins, Rulers like you and me with no background have no place to stand. If we don’t join any forces, it will only become more and more difficult to survive.” The young man named Ran Gu lowered his head and sighed.
Perhaps it was because they saw that Jian Wushuang was also alone and his cultivation was not high, the young man named Ran Gu could not help but feel a bit of sympathy for him.
Jian Wushuang smiled and did not refute. He agreed, “Ruler Ran Gu is right.”
After a short pause, Jian Wushuang changed the topic and asked, “Ruler Ran Gu, I have just arrived at the Tarot Ruins. May I ask what the situation is like inside?”
After some thought, Ruler Ran Gu replied, “As the heavenly treasures in the ruins become less and less, the fight for them has become more and more intense. Those solitary experts, because they are all alone, have a hard time exploring the ruins, unless they are extremely powerful. Now, most of these solitary experts have joined forces and formed many camps.
“There are quite a few of these camps, and all of them have at least an almost invincible Ultimate Ruler. But in general, the five camps are still the leaders of the primordial ruin.”
“Five major camps?” Jian Wushuang squinted his eyes. He did not expect that in the thousand years that he had disappeared, the Tarot Ruins would change so quickly. The fight for the opportunities had reached the point where all parties had to join forces and form a camp.
What Jian Wushuang did not know was that all of this was related to him killing the sword spirit of Tarot. The appearance of the natural treasures in the ruins seemed to be random, but it was actually the deliberate arrangement of the sword spirit of Tarot. Its purpose was to find the perfect target to possess.
Now that the Tarot sword spirit had been killed by him, naturally, there would be no new natural treasures.
“These five camps are all extremely powerful. The camp that is currently ranked first is the one led by Blood Sky Palace. Since the battle in Fengyang Canyon 1000 years ago, Blood Sky Palace has sent another four Blood Nether Emissaries to the Tarot Ruins. With the previous five, there are a total of nine Blood Nether Emissaries. It can be said that no one in the ruins is a match for these nine Blood Nether Emissaries.”
“In second place is the camp of the Da Feng Divine Kingdom, which only came to the Tarot Ruins several hundred years ago. Their leader is the Third Prince! The Ultimate Ruler’s undefeatable Supreme expert!”
At the mention of Da Feng Divine Kingdom, a look of unforgettable hatred appeared in Ruler Ran Gu’s eyes. When the cheeky girl, Qingxi, heard this, her face turned gloomy and she said with a slightly choked voice, “Eldest Senior Brother was killed by the Third Prince’s men because he had accidentally blocked the path of the Da Feng Divine Kingdom.”
Hearing this, Jian Wushuang was silent. The road of cultivation was cruel, especially in the Tarot Ruins, where there were no rules and restrictions. Death was common.
Water Sorcerer Ruler did not say anything, but his fists were tightly clenched.
The reason why he wanted to seek refuge with the Ninth Kalpa King and stay in the ruins was that he still had the thought of revenge, even though the hope seemed very slim.
Ruler Ran Gu took a deep breath and continued, “The third is the camp led by the Ninth Kalpa King, who is recognized as the strongest Ruler in the ruins. By right, he could have become the number one camp in the ruins. Unfortunately, the Ninth Kalpa King is too proud and disdains to be in the same camp as others. He has not accepted anyone except for the Ultimate Ruler, Divine Marquis Qingfeng, who is under him.
“However, I’ve recently heard that the Ninth Kalpa King has plans to expand his power. It’s also because of this that my master, Junior Sister, and I plan to try to rely on him.
“The remaining two forces are the Ruler Silver Roc and Lord Zhennan from the Da Feng Divine Kingdom. the Ruler Silver Roc is slightly weaker than the Ninth Kalpa King and the Third Prince of dafeng. however, because his strength is not too heaven-defying and he does not have a strong background, many solitary experts in the Tarot Ruins are more willing to join his side.
“After all, the leaders of the previous camps were too powerful. If a heaven-defying opportunity was obtained, there was an 80% chance that it would be taken by the leaders. However, the Ruler Silver Roc was different. His battle strength was not the strongest among the Ultimate Rulers. If you joined his camp and obtained a great opportunity, the Ruler Silver Roc would not be able to monopolize it. He would have to share it with everyone.
“That’s why the Ruler Silver Roc has so many Rulers under his command. At first, the few of us wanted to join him, but he had so many Rulers under his command that he didn’t even care about our power.
“As for Lord Zhennan, it is said that his power suffered a great setback in the battle at Fengyang Canyon a thousand years ago. He has been enduring for a long time, so there is no need to mention him.”
Jian Wushuang nodded. Hearing that Divine Marquis Qingfeng was with Ninth Kalpa King, he heaved a sigh of relief.
After chatting for a while more, Qingxi’s mood also recovered. She smiled and said jokingly, “You’re quite bold, Blood Sword. You’re only a fourth-level Ruler, and yet you’ve dared to come to the Tarot Ruins.”
Jian Wushuang replied with a smile, “I didn’t expect the ruins to be so dangerous before I came here.”
