Chapter 14 - Ruins

It's finally over... Fowliang exhaled.. This was my last auction, ever.. Excuse me while i rest for a week.

Well the grandpa got all the items.. Who is he anyway.. ?

I don't care Larchen.. You kept the security tight, so be glad i won't divorce you, just yet.

.....

There were a few refugees on the street fighting for scraps.. City isn't managed well right now... Larchen thought.. He visited the strategy center every day. They filled him the current situation, and they made some planning.. The troops came across a door they couldn't pass through, so he was to take over the leading once again..

Larchen, this things is driving me crazy a construct soldier said.. Help us out.

Let's see on the screen. This looks like a sacred door, How does it feel being near it ?

Like we're cursed Aijemz said.. its here alright.. But more than that, its mind altering, i'm starting to feel berserk, and I hear voices..

I doubt it can be opened with a key. You'll more then likely need to break it down...

Why ?

The insignia's look like this is an entrance to various underground people, who were forced into ground as minorities. Let me get your permission from the council to proceed.

There were a few minutes of waiting..

Go ahead, break it down..

Whoa... everyone gasped.. The place looks awesome..

A city of stone and light appeared in their sight. The ground was snowy..

Looks like jackpot, Aijemz said. Then an explosion happened in the western section...

Looks like you aren't alone.. Go check it out.. Larchen ordered..

A cultivator flew with some after dust, certain sort of energy were oozing of from a device on the floor, another cultivator was fighting with the former, but their energies were being sucked on to the device at the same time.

Looks like they are fighting over an artifact, Aijemz reported.. What do we do ?

.....

It's a pretty significant fight. Their levels are.. high. The other one, is also strong., She is on the defensive but she's cooking something. The chair collected their soul energy, as strings that handled the flow, were visible. It looks like a throne for some kind of judge..perhaps walking these very halls at ancient times..

We better manage to get on that chair before them.. Aijemz said.

Don't move.. Larchen said. I want more information before we do anything.

We can't afford to wait Larchen, Aijemz objected.. You must decide on an action, soon..

Okay, then help one side out, and see if they are grateful... Help the male one..

Better help the other one, i like her better.. Aijemz said.

Fine, Larchen laughed, he couldn't care less..

....

The lady was very beautiful..

Thank you for the help.. The female cultivator said, to what I owe this pleasure ?

We are just exploring.. What can you tell us about this chair ?

Well, it clearly has a pull isn't it ?

So.. who should get it ? What do you say ?

What do you suggest ?

Our leader, invites you, to our city.. You'd be an honored guest.. It is vital we keep any items that will be helpful against our urgent war against dragon army.. like this chair. I don't think they'll let it go easily.. Perhaps you can visit the city until then..

Well, its enticing... She said..

Larchen... you are inviting another beauty to the city huh ? Fowliang said. i'll divorce you, i'm warning you..

Get out of my head for 2 *f**ing minutes.. Besides i'm not interested...

I can see that, for getting out of your head, you can forget it, its fun and its my privelage..

I'll knock that pride out of your soul.. soon enough..

So what is this chair called ? Aijemz asked..

It is rumored to be the seven creation chair. Ms Pebe said.

The other cultivator were lying on the floor, blood was flowing, he made no sounds..

Ehm, who is this guy ? Should we help him out ?

No.. he is not, Pebe said in her wealthy way and soft voice. He leads a few gangs in east. His name is Rumu. A while
back, there was a large commotion around our cities about this place. It was claimed that these ruins held great
treasure, and many were sent over to check it out. It was a grueling affair.

Only people who were approved to go, were those chosen by his side, which discriminated against everyone in
favoritism to only their own side.

Anyway, ask her about her lightning arts, Larchian interjected..

Ehm, our leader is asking about your storm skill you unleashed to get this.. Rumu.

What ? Where is he..

He is on my ear.. telepathically, he is really back in the city.. Actually, we all are..

Ohh.. that's.. strange.. but clever.. Its impressive...I approve.. His design yes ?

Yes..

Well, we've engaged here for a couple of days.. it was going bad for me.. So i had no other choice then to conserve some energy for a surprise counter move. Fundamentals will always decide the fight in the end. He looked at the Rumu on ground. He is a shallow person, so he fell for it.

So who is leading this pack ? You are ? I mean other then your leaders back at the city.. You look .. ehm very young.

Well, this place looks untouched.. Why don't we get to it then, and go back to city, we'll share the spoils..

Pebe nodded in approval..
