Hearing this, Yuan Xiao calmed down immediately. He was just a little impatient because he hadn't found the ruins. Yang Qi's reminder made him instantly understand the stakes. Now tracking down the dragon cultivators was like directly tearing off their faces. Although the other party might not dare to kill them, it would definitely not be difficult to defeat them.
There are a total of ten people on the Dragon Clan's side, four of whom have reached the peak of Martial Emperor. There are only three people on their side. The strongest ones, Yuan Xiao and Yang Qi, are only at the late stage of the Nine-Star Martial Emperor. There is no way they can be a match for the other ten people.
If you follow him rashly, you will be seeking death!
"Our only option now is to continue searching the area we originally designated." Yuan Jiu said helplessly.
Although they unexpectedly discovered the dragon practitioners, they were unable to track them at all. They could only continue searching according to the previously designated area, hoping to gain something.
At this moment, Yang Qi looked at the place where Ao Ye and others left through space, and slowly said, "In fact, among that group of practitioners, there are only nine people from the Dragon Clan."
"Nine?"
After hearing this, Yuan Jiu and Yuan Xiao were both stunned. The souls of the Yuan Clan were powerful and they were good at perception, so they could both clearly feel that among the ten people before them, there were no puppets or clones of Tao, but real living beings.
"Some of them are not from the Dragon Clan." Yang Qi said in a deep voice.
If he had not awakened the aura of the Ancestral Dragon and was extremely sensitive to the dragon bloodline, he would not have been able to discover this. Among those ten people, one person did not have the aura of the dragon at all and was clearly not a member of the dragon clan.
"Is there anyone who is not from the Dragon Clan?"
Yuan Jiu and Yuan Xiao were stunned. They obviously did not expect that among the practitioners of the Dragon Clan, there were people who were not from the Dragon Clan. You know, most bloodline races are xenophobic, and this is true for the Yuan Clan and the Dragon Clan as well.
"I can be sure of this." Yang Qi nodded slightly.
Yuan Jiu and Yuan Xiao did not have any doubts about Yang Qi's words. If Yang Qi was not sure about this kind of thing, he would definitely not take the initiative to say it.
"This is strange. How could there be other practitioners in the team of dragon practitioners?" Yuan Jiu frowned slightly.
“Not surprising.”
Yang Qi smiled slightly, looked at Yuan Xiao who was standing beside him and said, "Brother Yuan Xiao, do you still remember that when the news about Emperor Yi Yun's remains spread, we once speculated that someone might have deliberately leaked the news."
"Could it be..."
Yuan Jiu and Yuan Xiao stared at each other, and they already had a guess in their minds. The cultivator who was not a member of the Dragon Clan was probably the one who leaked the news of Emperor Yi Yun's remains, which could also explain why the Dragon Clan cultivator brought an outsider with him.
Yuan Xiao's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and he said in a deep voice, "The people from the Dragon Clan are taking him to the ruins of Emperor Yi Yun?"
“It’s possible, but not necessarily.”
Yang Qi shook his head slightly and continued, "Brother Yuan Xiao has arranged for his practitioners to investigate the Dragon and Phoenix tribes and other practitioners' teams. These practitioners' teams are obviously searching everywhere. Either they don't know the correct location of the ruins, or they are doing it on purpose to confuse others and wait for the ruins to be opened."
After hearing this, Yuan Jiu and Yuan Xiao couldn't help but nodded. Yang Qi's analysis was correct. The people from the Dragon Clan took the outsider with them, not necessarily to the ruins of Emperor Yi Yun. They might just be trying to confuse other practitioners.
"No matter what the dragon clan's plan is, let's go to the fifth area to investigate first." Yang Qi said in a deep voice.
They couldn't track the dragon team, so if they wanted to find the remains of Emperor Yi Yun, they had to rely on themselves. Yang Qi and the other two did not stay there and immediately rushed towards the fifth designated area.
Soon, the three of them had arrived at the fifth designated area. Yuan Jiu activated the Yuan Wheel as before and began to investigate. Under the investigation of the Yuan Wheel, some traces of time and space were found, and there were quite a few of them. However, this was originally a transitional star field. Even if the Yunchen star field voluntarily gave up, this star field was actually relatively more chaotic. Therefore, it was not strange that some special traces of time and space appeared in this area.
As Yuan Jiu continued to investigate, time passed quickly, but he still did not gain anything. The area of the fifth area that had been marked out but had not been investigated was almost gone.
Yuan Xiao looked at Yuan Jiu who was urging the Yuan Wheel to investigate, and said bitterly, "It seems that there will be no harvest in this area."
After exploring this marked area, they only had four areas left to explore. Half of the nine marked areas had been explored, and the hope of finding the remains left by Emperor Yi Yun was getting smaller and smaller.
"At this point, no matter what, we have to continue investigating." Yang Qi said helplessly.
Apart from this method, they have no other way to find the remains of Emperor Yi Yun. And when they cannot be sure whether the remains exist, even if Yuan Xiao reports it to the top of the Yuan clan, the top of the Yuan clan is unlikely to send strong men to investigate. Therefore, the only thing they can rely on now is Yuan Jiu's investigation method.
"Brother Yuan Xiao, don't worry too much. My luck has always been..."
Yang Qi was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. The words in his mouth stopped abruptly and his eyes looked towards the depths of the void.
Seeing Yang Qi suddenly stop, Yuan Xiao was stunned and asked subconsciously, "What's wrong?"
"I feel some fluctuations of battle. It seems that there are practitioners fighting in the front, and their strength is not weak." Yang Qi said in a deep voice.
Yang Qi's perception is even stronger than Yuan Xiao's, but he could only sense some extremely weak battle fluctuations. He was unable to sense the specific location of the battle and the two parties involved. Since the residual power could be transmitted so far, the strength of the two parties involved must be strong.
Yuan Xiao heard this and said indifferently, "This is a transitional star region. Although it is much safer than the border areas of ordinary star regions due to the deterrence of our origin clan, it is still common for practitioners to fight with each other."
The fighting among practitioners is a very normal thing no matter where they are, especially in relatively chaotic places. Now they are exploring the transitional star field, and it is considered good that there are no practitioners fighting in the place they are exploring.
Yang Qi nodded. If they hadn't happened to be investigating here, the residual power of the battle would have made him a little concerned. If it had been somewhere else, he probably wouldn't have cared.
In the countless years of wandering in the endless universe, he has experienced countless battles and witnessed countless fights. If there is only the residual power of the battle between practitioners near him, he will have to pay special attention. Even if he spends several times more time, he is afraid that he will not be able to get to the Heavenly Domain from the Zhenwu Star Domain. (To be continued)
