"Ugh!" Feng Xian'er and Fan Quexian staggered and felt nauseous after exiting the portal, as they were not used to going through such a portal.
Fortunately, Xia Tian was still hugging their waist, and Feng Xian'er spoke shyly. "Xia Tian, you may now remove your hand from my waist."
As for Fan Quexian, she didn't really mind that much, especially since he had already seen her naked body and done such an indecent thing to her before.
Xia Tian was stunned for a moment, then removed his hand from her waist. "I'm sorry, Xian'er."
"It's okay." Feng Xian'er blushed and replied softly, then surveyed her surroundings and found they were in a very large room. Moreover, there was almost nothing inside except for rows of a few large chairs. "Tian, and I've never been to this area, it seems that the portal leads us to a deeper area this time."
"Sigh, it's also random; I can't feel Qin Qing's aura in this place." Xia Tian then brought Fen Quexian to have a look at the large rows of chairs. "So this place is the gathering hall of the Dark Race, huh?"
"I think so too, but why are these chairs so big, Tian." Fan Quexian asked in confusion, for those chairs were like the seats of giants, and she also didn't know anything about the Dark Race.
Feng Xian'er also asked her a question. "Tian, can you explain to me about this ruin and the Dark Race?"
Xia Tian nodded and began explaining to them. "The Dark Race, as opposed to the Light Race known as the winged race, is a giant race that specializes in the dark arts, such as charm, necromancy, poison, marionettes, etc."
"A giant race?" Feng Xian'er and Fan Quexian were shocked to hear that; they finally knew why the chairs were so big.
"Yes, the people from the Dark Race actually came from a giant race, but they have long separated from their race, mainly because they have darkness energy." Xia Tian explained and brought them up onto one of the chairs and sat on it; even though the three of them sat together, the chair was still too big for them. "In the Immortal Realm, darkness cultivators are deeply hated by cultivators, and they have always been hunted down and killed by them."
"Why would they do that? Are the members of the Dark Race that evil?" Feng Xian'er asked with a frown.
"No." Xia Tian shook his head. "According to history, the Dark Race were originally not evil cultivators. But one day, an accident changed everything, and since then they have been considered evil cultivators. The other people from the giant race also started to become hostile towards them, and other cultivators started hunting them down and slaughtering them."
"I've read about dark arts before, especially necromancy." Fan Quexian then turned to Xia Tian. "Didn't you have many necromancer enemies in the past?"
"Yes." Xia Tian nodded to her. "Those people also came from the Dark Race, and they hated me to the bone because I had massacred their race so much. Anyway, just like the Winged Race, they are also a group of cultivators whose cultivation is very slow, and they need a lot of valuable treasures to accelerate their cultivation. But they can make up for their shortcomings because they excel at their Dark Arts, and they can easily control many powerful cultivators using their charms or marionette techniques. Whoever fell into their techniques would become soulless dolls who would obey them completely until they died."
"Their technique is that strong?" Feng Xian'er asked in disbelief.
Xia Tian nodded. "Let alone mortals, even the immortals are overwhelmed by their techniques, especially when they are fighting a high-ranked Dark Race."
"Then what about Qin Qing?" Feng Xian'er became panicked after listening to Xia Tian's explanation, while Fan Quexian remained calm.
Xia Tian gritted his teeth and replied indignantly. "Tch, that woman is truly reckless; it would be best if she became a soulless doll; that way she won't be a burden to us."
"Xia Tian! Please don't talk like that!" Feng Xian'er shouted at him angrily. "Although Qin Qing's attitude is like that, she is actually very kind-hearted."
Xia Tian looked at Feng Xian'er in surprise; he didn't expect that she could be angry, and Fan Quexian covered her mouth to hold back her laughter at seeing him being scolded.
"Alright... Alright... I won't say that again." Xia Tian shrugged helplessly. 'Anyway, were you able to trace Qin Qing's whereabouts, Alice?'
[Unfortunately, master, I cannot trace Qin Qing's whereabouts. This whole ancient ruin is like a separate space, so I can't reach her location.]
'I see. Then you can try to find a way out of this room.'
[Okay.]
After that, Xia Tian brought Feng Xian'er and Fan Quexian down from the big chair, and they walked down the only available corridor. After walking down the corridor for quite a while, they arrived at a pitch-black pond with lots of bubbles on it.
"Xia Tian, this pond is so terrible!" Feng Xian'er shuddered at the aura emitted by the pond, and he hid behind her.
"I'll try something first, Tian." Fan Quexian then used his Tree Minion Summon, and several small tree creatures rushed into the pond, but they were immediately burned to ashes.
"Huh!?" Fan Quexian and Feng Xian'er were shocked to see that.
"Hmm?" Xia Tian then squatted at the edge of the pond and observed the water in it. "Dark Sacrifice Pond is the name of this pond. They usually use this pond as a place for offerings for high-ranking members of the Dark Race, and this water is also very poisonous."
[Master, there is something in the center of the pond.]
'Hmm? It appears to be a high-grade artifact; a low-grade artifact would not be able to survive in this pond.' "Xian'er, Quexian, you guys wait for me here." Xia Tian then enveloped his body with his golden flames and entered the pond.
"Xia Tian! What are you doing!?"
"Tian, stop it!"
Fan Quexian and Feng Xian'er screamed simultaneously in panic, and they were about to grab his hands to pull him out of the pond, but Xia Tian waved his hands at them.
"Relax, you guys; my golden flames can withstand the effects of this pond water." Xia Tian said as he continued walking towards the pond's center.
After reaching the center, Xia Tian quickly searched for the object that Alice had found; it wasn't long before he found it, and he was shocked after picking it up. He now held a one-and-a-half-meter-long white spear in his hand. "Luminous Spear? How did it get to this place? This spear should belong to the high-ranking Winged Race."
[Hehe, it looks like you are quite lucky, Master.]
'This spear is very suitable for Meng'er, especially since she has a winged race bloodline.'
[True, I also don't sense any soul imprints on this spear; it seems the owner has been dead for a very long time.]
Xia Tian talked to Alice while walking back to the edge of the pond; only after he came out of the pond did Feng Xian'er and Fan Quexian feel relieved, and they then asked at the same time.
"What did you find, Xia Tian?"
"What is that spear, Tian? Why do I feel that the light energy on the spear is so strong?"
Xia Tian then showed them the spear and explained it to them as he laughed. "Hehe. The name of this spear is Luminous Spear, and it is a Divine Grade Weapon."
"A Divine-Grade Spear?"
"You are really lucky, Tian."
"The Luminous Spear isn't really a special weapon, and it's used by the high-ranking winged race, but its quality is indeed extraordinary." Xia Tian explained and placed the spear in his inventory. "Moreover, the spear will be of great use to one of my women, since she is a descendant of the winged race."
Alice suddenly said to him. [Master, the exit from this area is behind that huge statue, but I don't know where the door will lead you guys later.]
"Let's go; I've found a way out of this place." Xia Tian said as he walked towards a large statue not far from him, and the two women immediately followed behind him.
