Although Xu Yang had expected something unexpected might happen, he hadn't imagined it would be so soon.
Even with the banners of the three great clans exerting their intimidating presence, there were still people daring to covet the treasured ground of the ancient mine.
Fortunately, it wasn't far.
At top speed, in just a moment, he saw the location of the ancient mine.
"Two traces of aura."
Xu Yang's eyes narrowed. Lightning-fast, he pierced through the thick mist, recalled the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod with a thought, and stared intently ahead.
He saw two figures charging excitedly toward the massive cavern.
A man and a woman, both elderly.
"I thought there'd be powerhouses from the three great clans here, but the valley is actually empty."
"There probably aren't many strong cultivators at the bottom of the ancient mine."
"In fact, there are no cultivators of the three great clans here at all. Those three banners are just for show, meant to scare people away."
