Leng Yan, the foremost genius of the cultivation world, a true favored child of heaven, was also known as the ice-cold beauty of the cultivation realm, with countless suitors. Due to a momentary wh...
Some brave ones saw Leng Yan enter the City Lord's Mansion, and then gritted their teeth and followed him in, while some people continued to wait and see.
Leng Yan ignored the person following her in. At a corner, she disappeared after turning the corner. When the person following her saw her disappear, he immediately hurried to catch up with her. As a result, he went around in a big circle and returned to his original position without seeing Leng Yan.
At this time, Leng Yan was sitting on the roof, watching the disciples below looking for her everywhere. Finally, after seeing enough, she disappeared and walked towards the study in the City Lord's Mansion.
When she entered the City Lord's Mansion, she noticed that there was no sign of living people in the entire mansion. She could not detect it when she was outside the mansion, and could only detect it when she was inside the mansion. It was obviously covered up by someone.
Leng Yan came to the door of the study and looked around to make sure no one had been there before pushing the door open and walking in. The layout of the study was very simple, somewhat similar to that of the human world. There was a desk with four treasures of the study on it, a pile of books on the side, and a potted plant by the window, which was lush and green.
There was only one bookshelf, and nothing else. Leng Yan first walked to the desk and stretched out her hand, then her hand stopped in mid-air.
Everyone outside the secret realm paused when they saw the white and slender hand in the picture. They were stunned at first and then realized that the hand was disgusted with the dust on the book.
But some people were staring at the hand in a trance. Leng Yan's skin was already fair, and the red beads on this hand made her skin look even whiter. The impact of the two colors was quite strong.
Leng Yan took out a handkerchief, wrapped it in the handkerchief, and then started to flip through the books. She stopped halfway, then picked up a book and opened it. After finding a piece of letter paper inside, she put the book back.
After putting it back, she put the letter away and continued to flip through the rest, and then she found another piece of letter.
Leng Yan unfolded both pieces of paper and began to read the contents at a glance. She read the first one first, and everyone outside the Secret Realm also looked at it carefully.
The first piece of letter read: Recently, some anomalies have occurred in the city. People have been dying inexplicably. The coroners and soldiers have investigated but found nothing. I am so scared because I always feel like a pair of eyes are staring at me these days. I think I am going crazy... There are a few more sentences at the end, but the handwriting is too messy and I can't understand what is written on it.
Leng Yan looked at the second picture and saw the words: I feel that thing getting closer and closer to me. I always wake up in the middle of the night, but when I wake up, there is nothing. Who can save me? An old Taoist came and said he could save me, but he died that night, and his death was very miserable...
I know, I know. Those people didn't die at all. They gained eternal life. They went to a place where they could gain eternal life. I want to pursue eternal life, too… Then came several more lines of messy handwriting.
Leng Yan looked at the two pieces of letter paper in her hand, and the corners of her lips curled slightly: Things are getting more and more interesting.
Looking at the messy handwriting at the bottom, Leng Yan narrowed her eyes, pondered for a moment, then overlapped the two pieces of paper and held them up to the light from the window. Then Leng Yan saw the messy handwriting on the two letters overlap, and then a line of words appeared: Wherever you are, there is what you want.
After reading the letter, Leng Yan took it back and was about to leave, but at this moment he heard a noise outside the study. It sounded like a lot of people had come.
Leng Yan looked around the study, then walked towards the place where the potted plants were placed. She turned the potted plants and, as expected, a secret door appeared behind the bookshelf. Behind the secret door was a long corridor. Hearing the footsteps reaching the door, Leng Yan walked in without hesitation.
As soon as he entered, the secret door behind him closed immediately. Leng Yan didn't have time to pay attention to it and walked into the corridor. The moment he walked, the candles in the corridor lit up, illuminating the entire corridor.
Leng Yan walked and observed, and finally she felt a chill coming from the front. The chill made Leng Yan feel a little comfortable. It was a very strange feeling.
She quickened her pace and finally reached a corner. The view before her suddenly opened up. Leng Yan also stopped and began to look around.
The surrounding walls were inlaid with luminous pearls that illuminated the empty space. The entire space was circular, and the ground was engraved with intricate array patterns. In the center of those array patterns was a black altar that resembled a fountain.
There was black gas flowing slowly in the altar, and in the center of the altar there was a book with black and gold outlines and emitting black gas. The black gas in the black altar slowly flowed towards the book in the form of silk threads.
Leng Yan looked at the book and then at the complicated array patterns on the ground, feeling a bit of a headache. She summoned the Su Chen Sword, and then slashed out with a sword energy. However, when the sword energy slashed towards the array patterns on the ground, it was blocked by a barrier and could not be cut down. Finally, the sword energy bounced to the top of the space.
In an instant, tiny cracks appeared on the top of the space, and dust and sand fell down. Leng Yan put up a spiritual power shield with an expressionless face to block the dust, then looked up at the cracks that had stopped spreading, and then fell silent.
It seemed she had to break these formations. So Leng Yan began to observe carefully, preparing to break the formations. The people outside also watched carefully and began to think of ways to break the formations, occasionally discussing with others.
Han Qing pushed Qingyu aside and stood at the front. After all, this was his area of expertise. Qingyu did not argue with him. Han Qing and Leng Yan cooperated tacitly to dissolve the array. When the array pattern was about halfway through.
Leng Yan suddenly had a bad premonition and in an instant she flashed back into the corridor.
The moment she moved, the ceiling of the space began to collapse, followed by large chunks of rock and earth falling down. Along with a group of screaming disciples, Leng Yan watched them fall expressionlessly, without the slightest intention of offering a helping hand. Having someone disrupt a formation halfway through would be unpleasant for anyone.
Leng Yan then watched as those people fell into the formation, which then quickly activated, trapping them tightly. Leng Yan looked at the countless layers of the trap with a calm expression.
The rest of the people outside the secret realm twitched their lips as they watched, thinking, "Isn't your defense a bit too exaggerated?"
Leng Yan listened to the disciples crying out in pain in the corridor, and then when she saw that the dust had almost settled, she walked out to see who was trapped inside.
When she saw those people, Leng Yan's eyebrows raised fiercely, and then she turned around and wanted to leave. She didn't want to take the book. At worst, she could just split this secret realm with a sword.
But the next second, she was stopped by a disciple, who said in an excited voice, "Big Sister."
Leng Yan turned around and looked at them helplessly.
