"I haven't encountered the other person called Zhang Ling for the time being. I can't see through his strength, but he should be similar to me."
Xu You nodded and raised his eyebrows as he asked, "What about the other person who's stronger than you?"
Ling Lan's expression became serious. She took a deep breath and slowly said, "Her name is Gong Yan. She's ranked 20th on the Arcana Ranking. She's… an SS-rank mutant."
Xu You's pupils suddenly constricted.
He had never expected that a Fallen City would actually attract an SS-rank mutant?!
"This… Logically speaking, an SS-rank mutant should go to a higher-level mystic realm, right?"
Hearing this, Ling Lan shook her head.
"It's said that there's a treasure that she especially values in the Fallen City."
"That's why she came here this time."
Hearing this, Xu You nodded and slowly calmed down.
Since she was already here, it was useless to be nervous.
Presumably, the others would also feel a sense of fear toward the only SS-rank mutant in this mystic realm.
At that time, he might be able to use these emotions.
It was actually useless to be nervous now.
At this point, Ling Lan seemed to have suddenly recalled something and suddenly spoke.
"Right, when I first explored the main city, I seemed to have seen someone from the Treasure Pavilion."
As soon as she said this, Xu You immediately frowned.
The Treasure Pavilion was now pursuing him. This was something that the Dragon Soul Team knew.
However, he did not expect the Treasure Pavilion to chase him all the way to the Fallen City!
"Who is it? What strength?"
Xu You asked with a frown.
Hearing this, Ling Lan frowned and fell into her memories. After a while, she said, "He should be an A-rank mutant, but from the looks of it, he doesn't seem to be the only one. It's just that the others didn't come in with him."
As soon as he said this, Xu You's expression became even more serious.
The efficiency of the Treasure Pavilion in this aspect was really beyond his expectations.
Seeing Xu You frown, Ling Lan pondered her chin and looked up at him.
"Actually… it's not impossible for you to escape the pursuit of the Treasure Pavilion. Although they're said to be vengeful, there are some rules that even they have to abide by."
Xu You was stunned before looking up and asking, "What rules?"
Ling Lan looked up and said in a calm tone, "Enter the top 30 of the Arcana Ranking."
Xu You frowned, but Ling Lan continued, "There's an unspoken rule regarding the Arcana Ranking that you don't know."
"As long as you can enter the top 30 of the Arcana Ranking, it's equivalent to being recruited by the organization behind the ranking."
"This way, no matter who you have a grudge with previously, the faction behind the Arcana Ranking will help you resolve it."
"The Treasure Pavilion is not enough to make an exception to the unspoken rule of the Arcana Ranking, even if they have an SSS-rank expert."
Hearing this, Xu You fell into deep thought.
If that was the case, he had to work hard to successfully enter the top 30 of the Arcana Ranking.
At the very least, this was much easier than fighting an entire Treasure Pavilion.
It did not calm his thoughts for long.
As the two of them were talking, Old Tame Head took out a purple crystal the size of his fist with a treasured expression and sighed, "Fortunately for us, Xu You, you came in time. Otherwise, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to protect this Condensed Divine Crystal."
The purple crystal emitted a dazzling light in the old man's hand.
For some reason, Xu You clearly felt that this Condensed Divine Crystal was irresistibly attractive to him.
Seeing the change in Xu You's expression, Old Tame Head chuckled.
"This is a magical treasure that can refine the treasures in a mutant's body and even level them up. It's said that there was once an S-rank mutant who evolved from using enough Condensed Divine Crystals."
"He forcefully raised the S-rank treasure in his body to the top of the SS-rank!"
Xu You was shocked.
It was actually a treasure of this level. No wonder the three of them knew that Ling Lan was an S-rank mutant but still chose to fight head-on.
As a mutant, it was indeed impossible to resist this temptation.
Ling Lan glanced at Xu You and said, "Let's split the Condensed Divine Crystal into two. I'll split it with you."
Xu You raised his eyebrows and was about to say something when Ling Lan spoke again.
"Old Tame Head said it himself that he doesn't need these things. When the time comes, I'll let him choose other things as compensation."
"If not for you, I might not have been able to protect this Condensed Divine Crystal. You should have had half."
Xu You was not a pretentious person. Seeing that Ling Lan had a serious expression, he nodded and agreed.
However, the three of them naturally did not divide the items on the spot. Instead, they placed them in the small storage bag at Ling Lan's waist.
The crystal flashed and fell into the small bag at Ling Lan's waist. However, after this fast crystal entered, it did not cause any changes to the storage bag.
When Xu You saw this scene, he was slightly surprised.
However, he had previously known that Ling Lan had prepared a small storage bag specially to store treasures for this operation, so he was not too shocked.
However, after seeing this magical scene, he was inevitably surprised.
"Since we're all here, let's continue to explore the main city."
"Where… is our goal?"
Ling Lan stood up and looked in the direction of the center of the main city, her eyes flashing with a sharp light.
From the moment Xu You received Ling Lan's invitation, he knew that she was an extremely ambitious person.
Raising his eyebrows, Xu You quickly nodded and said, "Then let's go."
The three of them quickly disappeared from this alley.
...
As the three of them went deeper, they began to encounter many treasures and various precious materials that could only be produced in the mystic realm.
At the same time, they encountered many people.
There were even some people who looked very familiar to Xu You and the other two.
For example, a few people were people that Xu You's three-man team had encountered in the inn.
However, these people were all in a sorry state at this moment. Some of them even had broken limbs.
Their strength was already the top few among the people in the inn.
From this, it could be seen that the others in that inn were either cannon fodder or could not even enter the sand tornado!
The Dragon Soul Team did not have much of a reaction to this.
Xu You was a special forces soldier in his previous life and was already used to seeing deaths.
To be able to reach this point, Ling Lan was also a ruthless person.
As for Old Tame Head, his experiences also made him not feel much about these situations.
