Amidst the flying dust, Lin Qiye slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at the yellow sky in front of him, and his whole thoughts seemed to come to a standstill. After a long time, he struggled to stand up, but as soon as he raised his head, a strong feeling of dizziness filled his mind.

"vomit--!!!"

Lin Qiye suddenly leaned over and began to dry heave.

Lin Qiye had never been dizzy from childhood to adulthood, whether in a car, plane, or boat. But this time he finally knew what it felt like to be dizzy and about to vomit his stomach. He lay on the ground for more than ten minutes before he could barely stand up.

"What the hell is this place..." Lin Qiye looked around, and there was nothing else in sight except the desolate yellow earth with no one around.

Wasn't he originally on the exploration ship in the mist?

Lin Qiye clearly remembered that before he lost consciousness, on the exploration ship returning to Daxia, he heard three bell sounds coming from the sea, and then a burst of light suddenly burst out from his chest...

Lin Qiye seemed to have thought of something, and looked down at his chest. There were originally three marks, but now only two were left, and the other one seemed to have been wiped off, so faint that it was almost invisible.

"【Holy Covenant】?" Lin Qiye frowned tightly.

According to Charles, the [Holy Covenant] is a sacred oath that cannot be violated. Once it is agreed upon, it will inevitably happen... But what did this disappeared [Holy Covenant] do? Why did it move itself from the exploration ship to here?

Questions popped up in Lin Qiye's mind one after another. He looked around and could not see any signs of human survival within a radius of several kilometers. This place seemed to be on the edge of a desert, with very little vegetation.

Lin Qiye climbed up a small earthen slope and looked into the distance. Suddenly, he saw a pair of legs stuck upside down in the ground next to a huge rock about a few hundred meters away from him.

Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes and stared for a moment, the corner of his mouth twitched suddenly!

"Wuquan!"

Without saying a word, Lin Qiye rushed to the boulder and smashed it to pieces with his bare hands. He saw a young man lying unconscious in the gap between the boulders, covered in blood.

Lin Qiye first checked his breathing. The good news was that he was still alive. The bad news was... he didn't seem to live long.

how so?

Lin Qiye's eyes swept over his body. Wuquan's body was covered with strange scars, as if he had been scratched by something. Several bones in his body were broken. He was limp and barely able to breathe.

"Where did this injury come from?" Lin Qiye looked at his body and found that there seemed to be some bruises on his skin. However, his body was too strong, and he suddenly came to such a strange place to distract his mind, so he didn't notice that he was injured at all.

Both Wuquan and I were injured... Could it be that the [Holy Covenant] had a negative impact on their bodies in the process of sending them here?

Lin Qiye didn't have time to think about it. He simply carried Wuquan on his back, chose a direction, and started running wildly on this barren land.

With such a serious injury, Wu Quan might not be able to hold on for long. He must leave here as soon as possible and find a place to treat Wu Quan.

At full speed, the surrounding land was retreating madly. Not long after, black dots appeared in front of Lin Qiye's eyes, like some low buildings.

After getting closer, Lin Qiye discovered that they were several small earthen houses with no windows on the outside, only a small door. The houses were surrounded by broken wood and stood firm in the flying yellow sand.

"Someone is here." Lin Qiye's eyes lit up. He landed lightly in front of one of the mud houses and knocked on the wooden door.

Knock knock knock——

After a moment, a figure slowly walked out from behind the door.

"Who are you looking for?" This was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties. He was wearing coarse linen clothes, had dark and rough skin, and a hunched back. His height was not even as high as Lin Qiye's chest, and he looked malnourished.

"Hello, where is this place?"

"Soul Falling Hill."

"Um...which city?"

"City?" The man was stunned. "Oh, West City is ten miles east of here."

"…I mean, which province is this? Which city?"

The man looked at him suspiciously and said, "What province or city... Xue County is fifteen miles north of here. If you want to find someone to inquire about something, just go there."

"Xue County..."

Lin Qiye kept muttering the name, and before he could come to his senses, the man slammed the door shut.

Hearing the word Xue County, combined with the man's clothes and the building just now, Lin Qiye suddenly had a certain idea in his mind, which he quickly denied...

It should be, it's impossible, right?

Lin Qiye shook his head, found the north, and flew away quickly. Fifteen miles might be a long way for ordinary people, but for Lin Qiye, it was just a moment.

Amidst the flying dust, Lin Qiye stepped onto a mound. He looked at the ancient city wall standing on the loess in the distance, his mouth opened uncontrollably...

Not far from Lin Qiye was a city wall made of earth and stones with an uneven surface. An arch opened from the center of the wall. Many people wearing coarse linen clothes lined up in two rows and walked into the city one after another. Occasionally, one could see a few figures wearing bright silks and satins, rushing into the city on horseback.

On the city wall, dozens of soldiers in armor looked down at the pedestrians below, as if they were on guard against something.

"I'm not dreaming?!" Lin Qiye muttered to himself.

The scene before him was completely beyond Lin Qiye's cognition. Although there were many ancient city attractions and movie studios left in modern times, most of them could be seen as fake after reconstruction... But the city before him was clearly a real ancient city!

Combined with what the man just said, that bold idea once again emerged in Lin Qiye's mind!

That [Holy Covenant] not only allowed him to cross space, but also cross the long river of time?

How is this possible?

Even the King Face, the God of Time, could only go back a short time. What dynasty was the city in front of Lin Qiye from? Han? Tang? Song?

No matter which dynasty it is, the gap with Lin Qiye's era is more than a thousand years. Even if the side effects of causal changes are not taken into account, Wang Mian is estimated to have spent more than a hundred years of life to get here... Not everyone can reach such an ancient time.

But that [Holy Covenant] sent him and Wuquan to this era?

However, what is somewhat strange is that the people here, whether they are civilians or soldiers, all look haggard, with big dark circles under their eyes and their complexions are extremely bad. I don’t know if it is due to malnutrition.

Lin Qiye carried Wuquan on his back and walked quickly down the hill. He stopped a man who looked like a traveling merchant and asked:

"Hello, what dynasty is it now?"

"?" The merchant gave him a strange look, "The sixth year of Yuanshou."

"Yuan Shou?" Lin Qiye's face was still confused. He was not good at history. When he heard this reign title, he didn't know which dynasty it was for a moment.

Just when he wanted to ask something else, a voice came from a distance:

"Champion Hou has entered the city!!"
