565: Gold diggers' speculation

Outside the Hanfeng City Ruins.

A sapphire Dragon soared in the sky, while a platinum tiger rampaged across the land.

Witnessing this scene, reminiscent of a myth descending, the Blood Blade Squad members were dumbfounded, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

The Undead Army gathered outside the Hanfeng City Ruins was an extremely dangerous presence for all Gold Diggers.

Every year, hundreds of powerful Gold Diggers were torn to shreds by those Undead returning from Hell while traversing this land.

Among them were not a few Sixth-Order powerhouses, and even Seventh-Order Saints.

And now.

This terrifying Undead Army was being easily harvested like wheat.

"Brother Dao, we should trust your Eye of Equipment Detection less in the future!"

"Is this really a Fifth-Order? I'd believe it if you said he was a Demigod!"

In the shadows, the Blood Blade Squad members shivered, one of them unable to resist complaining to Brother Dao.

Fortunately, they hadn't directly attacked halfway through, otherwise, it wouldn't be the Undead Army falling like harvested wheat, but them.

"...Me."

Brother Dao awkwardly pursed his lips, his expression very complex.

He never expected that the Eye of Equipment Detection, which had never made any mistakes, would cause such a huge blunder this time!

"Let's retreat!"

"This is definitely not something we can covet. Before he discovers us, let's quickly leave this place."

"Otherwise, we simply cannot withstand his wrath."

After a moment of silence, Brother Dao gestured for his teammates to retreat.

Just by looking at the battle scene ahead, he knew it was absolutely not something they could participate in.

And at this moment, as the Blood Blade Squad members quietly departed, all the Gold Diggers around the Hanfeng City Ruins also noticed the anomaly.

There was no way around it; the towering black clouds rising, and the accompanying aura of hatred towards living beings, made it difficult not to attract attention.

"Holy cow!"

"What's going on?"

"Which unlucky fellow lured out all the Undead Army buried outside Coldwind City?"

"This is big trouble. This Undead Army was formerly the Coldwind City garrison, a fully staffed elite legion of 100,000, with a Legion Commander who was a Demigod-Rank powerhouse, and also possessed a companion, a Cyclops, who had also reached Demigod-Rank."

"Once this Undead Army emerges, it's absolutely impossible for them to return to rest underground without rampaging for four or five days. Coldwind City is even more dangerous now!"

The Gold Diggers who witnessed this scene discussed animatedly, their faces all looking very grim.

The direction where the Undead Army was located was usually the safest area to enter the Hanfeng City Ruins.

As long as they didn't cause too much commotion and passed through quickly, they wouldn't attract the pursuit of the Undead Army.

However, in other directions, terrifying wild monsters and magical beasts roamed at all times, making the danger of passage more than ten times higher than here.

But now, with the entire Undead Army mobilized, this area had probably turned into a land of the dead.

Any Gold Digger who entered it would suffer attacks from the Undead.

"Oh my god!"

"This place must be more dangerous than other directions now. We probably have to postpone entering the Hanfeng City Ruins."

"Damn it, which bastard lured out these Undead Army? I curse him to be torn to shreds!"

Many people cursed at this moment, wishing they could tear the guy who caused the anomaly into ten thousand pieces.

With things having come to this, anyone wanting to enter the Hanfeng City Ruins would face several times the risk.

"Wait..."

"What is that?"

Just as everyone was cursing in their hearts, someone suddenly stared at the sky in a daze, a look of disbelief on their face.

They saw a sapphire figure tearing through the black clouds formed by the deathly aura of hatred emanating from the Undead Army in the sky.

Wherever this figure passed, the black clouds dispersed, and the dim sunlight once again shone upon the earth.

"Holy cow!"

"That wouldn't be a Dragon, would it? Its appearance is exactly like in the ancient texts!"

"My goodness, how could a Dragon appear in the Hanfeng City Ruins and even confront the Undead Army?"

"Could it be that a major power is preparing to act on the Hanfeng City Ruins, and there are secrets hidden here that we don't know about?"

Looking at the sapphire figure in the sky, no matter where they were, all the Gold Diggers involuntarily stopped their movements, their eyes wide as they stared at the sky.

The creature's body was covered in sapphire scales, and its ferocious wings and massive Dragon claws all proclaimed its identity...

A Dragon, a Divine Beast that had been extinct for ten thousand years in the Huiguang World!

"A Divine Beast like the Dragon, which disappeared for ten thousand years, has actually reappeared. Could it be that a great change is about to occur in the Huiguang World?"

"Is a major power trying to clear out the dark forces like wild monsters and magical beasts, and restore order to the Huiguang World?"

"I don't think that's possible. This Dragon is very strong, but its strength hasn't reached Demigod-Rank yet. It would probably be insufficient to completely wipe out the dark forces in Coldwind City."

"I speculate that this is very likely a major power that has set its sights on certain things within Coldwind City."

The Gold Diggers were shocked in their hearts, and at the same time shared their current speculations with their companions.

When they heard someone say that a major power had set its sights on something in Coldwind City, many people's eyes lit up.

To search for something, they even deployed a legendary Dragon, which was enough to show the preciousness of this item; it had to be at least Divine Artifact-Rank.

"Hiss!"

"I remember now, Coldwind City was once the territory of the Mosiliwake Family. Could it be that they are after the Mosiliwake Family's heirloom?"

"Very likely. The Mosiliwake Family is said to be descendants of the North Wind God."

"After the North Wind God fell tens of thousands of years ago, the Divine Artifact he wielded had always been with the Mosiliwake Family, and it was precisely by relying on this Divine Artifact that the Mosiliwake Family became one of the top noble families in the Empire back then."

The Gold Diggers chattered away, becoming more and more excited, their eyes all gleaming with greed.

A Divine Artifact!

That was a rare treasure that, once obtained, could allow an ordinary person to ascend to the heavens in one step.

In the various legends circulating in the Huiguang World, countless ordinary beings, upon obtaining Divine Artifacts, rose in a Heaven-Defying manner, leaping to the pinnacle of the Huiguang World and looking down upon all living beings.

Although the Real authenticity of these legends was unverifiable, the former Mosiliwake Family was the best example.

The Mosiliwake Family, possessing the North Wind God's Divine Artifact, had a Legacy spanning thousands of years, enduring the rises and falls of the Empire without decline, accumulating massive wealth.

Even when destroyed by the terrifying Magic Tide during the dark turmoil, the Coldwind City they left behind became a paradise for Gold Diggers to find treasures.

The annual rumors of people finding vast treasures and becoming rich here attracted countless individuals.
