Just as Xu Fan was about to approach the detection gate, Chu Wujie, the Grand Elder of the Chu Family and the person with the highest level of cultivation present, stepped forward with a frown and said:

“Patron Xu, if you are over thirty-five years of age, it would be better not to enter the ruins’ great gate.

If you sneak in secretly, that’s one thing, but to violate the rules jointly established and enforced for many years by the Flame Dragon and the Ancient Martial World in front of so many of us, that wouldn’t be good, would it?”

When he said this, the strong figures present, such as Shi Hongyun of the Sword Heaven Sect and Luo Yalu of the Luo Family, also quietly observed Xu Fan’s reaction.

If Xu Fan entered the ruins’ great gate, there would be no point in competing for the inheritance of the Northern Territory Sovereign, as it would be clear that it would belong to Xu Fan without question.

If Xu Fan did not enter, then the geniuses on the list of heroes could compete with each other.

Therefore, no matter how strong Xu Fan’s strength was, they had to step forward and attempt to stop him.

On this point, they reached a unanimous understanding.

Those in the crowd with little to no stake in the inheritance of the Northern Territory Sovereign watched this scene with increased interest and relished the excitement.

They vaguely looked forward to seeing Xu Fan disregard everyone’s dissuasion, forcefully enter the ruins, and encounter the blockade of the crowd, only for Xu Fan to demonstrate his great power and subdue all these famous ancient martial experts.

Wow…

just imagining the scene made their hearts beat faster and they felt a thrill.

Others also had active thoughts, reasoning that if Xu Fan ignored the rules and entered the ruins, then this regulation would be broken.

As such, they too could entirely take the opportunity to stroll around inside the ruins; even if they couldn’t obtain the most precious inheritance, there might still be a chance to gather some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which would be a considerable gain.

“You sure talk a lot!”

Xu Fan turned his head to look at Chu Wujie, his gaze icy cold: “Since when do I, Xu Fan, need to explain my actions to you all in detail?”

Upon hearing this, the renowned strong figures from various parties present all had a gloomy expression.

This fellow was extremely arrogant, showing blatant disrespect for anyone.

However, no matter how strong Xu Fan’s abilities were, they were determined to try and stop him from forcefully entering the ruins, as the inheritance of an Ancient Power was far too precious.

“Patron Xu, I know you are strong, but if you disregard the strong ones of this world, disregard the rules of the Ancient Martial World, and forcefully enter the ruins…”

Chu Wujie’s mouth twitched twice, his fists clenched within the sleeves of his robe as he said coldly: “Then, the old guys of the Ancient Martial World present here will have no choice but to experience your capabilities firsthand.”

“Chu formally admonishes you here that you do not meet the age requirements and are not allowed to enter the ruins.”

“That’s right, Shi has the same sentiment.”

“Hmph, Luo knows his own limits.

I’m not an opponent for Patron Xu, but I understand that the rules are above all else.”

“…”

Stimulated by Xu Fan’s words, the others also firmly expressed a nearly unanimous attitude.

Even if Xu Fan was very strong and had the backing of the Flame Dragon Organization, this did not give him the right to break rules that had been enforced for many years.

And some hot-tempered individuals had even secretly begun to mobilize the True Qi within their bodies, ready to take action at any moment.

Watching the many strong figures around him adopting a confrontational attitude, Xu Fan did not seem perturbed.

Instead, he felt somewhat amused.

“Gentlemen, you worry too much.

Patron Xu was personally invited by the leader of the Flame Dragon.

How could he wantonly violate the regulations?”

Seeing the situation at an impasse, Li Yunlei stepped forward and forced a gentle smile, explaining: “To tell you the truth, Patron Xu is indeed very young.

He is only twenty-four years old, which meets the age requirement.

So, where is the violation?”

“No!

How is this possible!”

Chu Wujie’s face changed, and he exclaimed in shock.

The others also wore expressions of disbelief like they had never seen before.

Twenty-four years old?

Did they take them for fools?

With Xu Fan’s strength, even saying he is forty-two would be a stretch on the younger side.

Xu Fan defeated the Banished Immortal Zhu Yangyuan, who is a cultivator of several hundred years.

Long Guhuang, the leader of the Flame Dragon and a top-tier genius from the protector dragon lineage, only reached the Dongxu Realm past the age of knowing destiny, despite not lacking in cultivation resources.

Looking over the Ancient Martial World, those strong in the Dongxu Realm, every single one of them only reached this realm after their rare old age.

But now, they had heard that Xu Fan was only twenty-four years old!

Damn it!

You think you’re playing me for a fool?

To have the power to defeat those in the Dongxu Realm on just his second bearing-year?

“Ladies and gentlemen, I have not deceived you.

Right, Xu Fan has just been recorded on the Prestigious Rankings, ranking fourth as Xu Wufang.

Surely the reviewers of the Prestigious Rankings wouldn’t have made a mistake regarding Xu Fan’s age?” Li Yunlei spoke leisurely.

This stirred an even bigger commotion among the crowd.

Everyone thought Xu Wufang had not arrived, but in fact, he had already been there, simply having swapped the identity of Xu Wufang’s cloak for the true identity of Xu Fan the Patron.

This was definitely one of the most explosive news of the year.

Seeing the crowd still somewhat disbelieving, Li Yunlei continued, “Talk is cheap; seeing is believing.

This electronic detection gate is a state-of-the-art product developed by a national high-level scientific research institution, with a 100% accuracy rate.

Please witness it for yourselves.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Fan stepped into the detection gate.

“Beep~”

The pass tone sounded immediately, and the green light lit up.

“…”

I seriously suspect this detection gate has been tampered with?

“Hold on, I want to see the age verification results.”

Chu Wujie clenched his teeth and flashed to the computer to view Xu Fan’s test results on the screen, which included various indicators; the final outcome was that Xu Fan truly was only twenty-four years old!

Shi Hongyun also saw the result and to confirm that it wasn’t a malfunction of the gate, he immediately tested himself by stepping through.

The red light lit up, and the computer displayed that he was sixty-eight years old.

Taking a deep breath, he nodded to the crowd, indicating that it was indeed true.

The crowd fell silent, one by one with expressionless faces.

It could be said that compared to Xu Fan, they were nothing.

It also meant that the legacy of the Northern Territory Sovereign, the younger generation of their families, basically had no chance.

After all, a group of prodigies who were not even Heavenly Venerables, no matter how strong their combat abilities, stood no chance in front of Xu Fan who had the strength to rival those in the Dongxu Realm.

Xu Fan couldn’t care less about what these people were thinking.

He just instructed Qin Qinglong, “The legacy of the Northern Territory Sovereign should be within the central area of the ruins.

Be careful along the way, don’t cause trouble, just head to the center of the ruins.

Once we meet up there, we’ll compete for the legacy, understand?”

“Understood,” Qin Qinglong replied respectfully.

Xu Fan immediately flashed and appeared before the gate of the ruins.

Lifting his leg, he stepped inside and disappeared.

Qin Qinglong followed closely behind.

“Brother Chu, what do we do now?” Shi Hongyun could not help but ask Chu Wujie.

The latter looked at the gate of the ruins, his expression shifting unpredictably before he let out a deep sigh.

Since Xu Fan met the criteria, they could only acquiesce to his entry.

Even if unwilling, they had to pinch their noses and accept it.

Besides, their fists were not as big as the other’s, and their backers not as tough as the Flame Dragon Organization.

Trying to forcibly stop him would be a sign of insanity.

“What else can we do?

Leave it to fate,” Chu Wujie said indifferently.

“With Patron Xu joining this exploration of the ruins, the legacy of the Northern Territory Sovereign is nine times out of ten his.

We can only hope that our younger ones can gain something else.”

“It seems we have no other choice,” Shi Hongyun murmured as he nodded.

“There’s no need for such worry, gentlemen.

Patron Xu is unmatched in battle, but he does not harm others without reason.

Even if disputes arise, he won’t kill without cause,” Li Yunlei hurriedly reassured them.

“Now, please join us, the Flame Dragon Organization, in guarding this place.

Thank you for your efforts.”

Remembering that they still had a duty to stand guard, the twelve strong ones immediately put aside the matter with Xu Fan, nodded, and took up their positions around the gate, guarding in all directions.
