Chapter 435: Hidden Undercurrents
“Everyone, since that was my suggestion, I will give it a shot as well . ” The elder said as he channelled his spirit qi and charged towards the entrance .
However, upon making contact with it, his spirit qi seemed to be absorbed by the entrance, with no explosion or noise . A smug smile formed on the elder’'s face as he thought that he had succeeded . However, his smile soon vanished .
“Why isn’t it open?”
Seemingly replying to the elder’s question, a loud roar emanated from the entrance . A spirit qi wave sent everyone flying away .
It was lucky that Pei Qingfeng was standing at the perimeter of the ruins as he managed to avoid the wave of spirit qi .
“A bunch of fools!” Lu Wenshu cried out as the wave of spirit qi subsided .
“Senior brother, are you feeling better now?” Hua Sen asked Lu Wenshu as he helped him to his feet .
Lu Wenshu merely nodded his head and said, “They’re causing so much noise that even a dead man would sit up from his grave! It’s already been so long, yet no one has managed to open the entrance?”
His junior brother looked at him helplessly . The disciples in his sect were skilled, but the people from other factions were too weak to figure out the secret of the ruins . They could only wait patiently for help to arrive .

“Don’t worry! Senior Brother, you should take this time to regain your strength . Even though they aren’t strong enough, they can be of some use to us!” Hua Sen said in an attempt to placate the displeased looking Lu Wenshu .
Lu Wenshu glanced at Hua Sen and said, “What you’ve said makes sense, but we can’t let them continue to waste their strength . Even if they were to continue trying till night fell, they wouldn’t be able to open the ruins!” Lu Wenshu dusted his sleeves as he got ready to make a move . However, Hua Sen stopped him .
"Senior brother, you should wait a moment . All of them still think that they will be able to open the ruins with their strength . Moreover, you should regulate the spirit qi in your body before trying anything else . ”
Hua Sen firmly stood in front of Lu Wenshu, with no intention of backing down . Lu Wenshu had no choice but to compromise . After all, the precious treasure wouldn’t run away and it didn’t hurt to wait a little more .
Lu Wenshu listened to Hua Sen's advice and waited quietly . As soon as he turned his back, Hua Sen’s expression changed . The look of sincerity disappeared and he turned his gaze to Bai Luochu . She isn’t as simple as she looks, perhaps she will be the one to open the entrance to the ruins . If she opens the entrance, Senior Brother will be able to save some energy… That can be considered repaying Senior Brother’s favor . . .

Bai Luochu felt that someone was staring at her from behind and whipped her head around . Too bad Hua Sen’s reaction was quick as he spun around to avoid Bai Luochu’s gaze .
Since Bai Luochu had never seen Hua Sen before, she failed to identify him as the person staring at her . She gave up and turned her gaze back to the ruins .
“Are you trying to say something?” A confused Junior Brother asked as he saw Hua Sen’s mouth hanging open before him .
Hua Sen looked around and heaved a sigh of relief . He said, “It’s nothing . She isn’t someone we can mess with . She is extremely alert and we should be careful around her . ”

“Just how long will these damn people take to open the entrance?” Pei Qingfeng was starting to get annoyed . He was getting restless as all the disciples from the other factions were trying their best to break the entrance . Also, he didn’t want to let Bai Luochu wait .
“No need to worry, we’ll let them tire themselves out before making a move . ” Pei Rumo comforted his second brother as though he didn’t care whether or not they would be able to open the ruins .
Bai Luochu placed all her attention on the ruins and after her thorough analysis, she realized that there were several intricate patterns and designs on the surface of the entrance .
As everyone started to get impatient, they gathered their spirit qi for a final strike . Too bad for them, their attack rebounded and they were sent flying again . Some of them were unable to withstand the backlash and vomited a mouthful of blood .
If Pei Qingfeng had not embraced Bai Luochu in his arms and shielded her from the backlash of the spirit qi, she would have suffered a serious injury as they were standing in the radius of the blast .
“Luoluo are you alright?” Pei Qingfeng asked Bai Luochu, with no regard for his own well-being .
