In short, in these hundreds of thousands of years, there have been countless boring masters, but no one has discovered the secret hidden under Feilai Peak. Mu Hanyan really finds it incomprehensible.
Could it be that the ancient ruins were too dangerous, and no one who discovered the secret could come out alive, so it had been hidden forever? But if that was the case, how did Zhang Chihua and his wife get out?
Mu Hanyan thought about it over and over again, but couldn't come up with an answer.
Of course, these thoughts only flashed through her mind. After all, it was just a guess. Now that she had come this far, she couldn't just give up because of a guess.
"The last time I came here, I was practicing here. I was so excited after I broke through to the sword master level that I wanted to test my strength. I slashed at the cliff with a sword. Who knew that I accidentally broke a seal, and a door appeared. Then I discovered the ancient ruins." Zhang Chihua pointed to the cliff in front and said.
Looking in the direction he pointed, sure enough, there was still a deep sword mark on the cliff.
"However, we accidentally touched the seal inside the ruins, causing them to collapse. After we escaped, the ancient ruins also disappeared." Zhang Chihua continued.
Mu Hanyan and the others were not surprised. Most of the ancient ruins that have survived to this day are protected by sealing barriers. They were either created by masters in previous lives, or were created by heaven and earth naturally. Unless the seal is broken or the power of the seal dissipates on its own, they cannot be discovered.
Although Zhang Chihua had accidentally broken the outer seal, he subsequently triggered the inner seal, causing the ancient ruins to be hidden once again. This wasn't surprising, as the Qiongqi Temple in the Valley of Exotic Beasts had more than one seal, and an inner defensive seal protected it.
If you want to enter the ruins again, you obviously have to open this seal.
Although Mu Hanyan could not be said to be proficient in the art of sealing, she had seen pigs run even if she had not eaten pork, so she was not unfamiliar with it. She immediately began to explore around the stone wall.
Ye Lanxuan was also by his side, carefully investigating the existence of the seal.
Hua Yue and the others have limited strength and experience, so they can't be of much help.
However, Zhang Chihua was already a master of the swordsman level, and he had been here once before, so he was quite confident and was also investigating carefully.
Soon, beads of sweat appeared on Zhang Chihua's forehead and a look of deep fatigue appeared on his face.
It was not until this moment that he realized how lucky he was last time. This seal was completely beyond his ability. Even if he tried his best, he could not find the existence of this seal. Even if he found it, he would not be able to break it unless he had the same good luck as last time.
In the distance, the Fifth Prince, Nian Anyao and others also arrived. They hid behind a huge rock and looked at the busy figures of Mu Hanyan and others. Their faces darkened slightly.
"I didn't expect Mu Hanyan to discover the clues so quickly. She came earlier than us." The fifth prince looked unhappy.
"What's the point of coming early? It's not easy for them to find the divine beast." Qu Fengting said with a cold snort.
"Yes, the secret of Aolai Peak being Feilai Peak has been hidden for hundreds of thousands of years and has not been discovered by anyone. How could it be so easy to find? Although Mu Hanyan has some strength and probably has some magical artifacts and treasures hidden on her body, it is not so easy to find the sealing barrier of Aolai Peak." Nian Anyao also said with a sneer.
Until now, he didn't know the real reason why he suddenly sleepwalked when he was fighting with Mu Hanyan, and he never thought that his strength was stronger than his. He attributed everything to the magical artifacts and treasures. After all, he was the eldest grandson of the head of the Mu family. It was normal for him to have some good treasures on him.
This can be considered as Nian Anyao's self-consolation. If he didn't think so, how could he feel relieved?
"That's good. We can wait until they are exhausted, then we can take action. Maybe we can get a big bargain." Qu Fengting said with a gloomy face.
"Yes, we should hide our bodies first. When they are exhausted, we will take advantage of them." The fifth prince's eyes lit up and he said viciously.
"Well, the Fifth Prince is worthy of being a descendant of the royal family. He is indeed a master in using troops. As the saying goes, the art of war is to use deception and to achieve victory by surprise. The Fifth Prince's method is in line with the principles of war." Although Nian Anyao felt that the two people's plan was a bit too despicable, out of hatred for Mu Hanyan, he did not say much. Instead, he flattered the Fifth Prince, which was equivalent to finding a despicable excuse for himself.
So, several people hid their bodies and stared at Mu Hanyan and others, waiting for them to be exhausted and then take action immediately. Not only could they avenge their previous shame and regain their face, but they could also snatch the divine beast and trample Mu Hanyan to death.
…
"Brother Zhang, you should take a rest first." Mu Hanyan said when she saw Zhang Chihua's face covered in sweat and the fatigue in his eyes.
"It's okay. I'll hold on a little longer. This ancient site has been hidden for hundreds of thousands of years and has never been discovered. The seal is naturally very secret. I was extremely lucky last time to break it with one sword. Now that I don't have that good luck anymore, I don't know when I'll find it. Maybe I won't find anything for ten days or half a month.
"Thankfully, I've been here once before, so I have some impression of the sealed aura. More people always add a little more strength. But Mr. Mu, don't push yourself too much. Rest when you're tired. Don't rush things, as this will damage your vitality and affect your future cultivation. These properties are yours anyway, and no one can take them away. There's no need to rush." Zhang Chihua wiped the sweat off his face and said to Mu Hanyan sincerely.
Although the Zhang family is not as loyal to Mu Hanyan as the Fang family's hereditary vassal, the reason why they joined the Mu family is because Zhang Moyang likes Mu Hanyan. Zhang Chihua has always admired his father's courage and vision since he was a child and has never had any doubts, so he also has special respect for Mu Hanyan.
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Zhang, but I have already found it." Seeing the respect, concern and worry in Zhang Chihua's eyes, Mu Hanyan said helplessly.
"What, Mr. Mu, you are not kidding, are you?" Zhang Chihua's eyes widened and he looked at Mu Hanyan in disbelief.
He had some impression of the aura of the seal, but even though he was sweating and exhausted, and began to breathe heavily, he still could not find the existence of the seal.
Seeing that Mu Hanyan looked normal and didn't show any sign of fatigue at all, Zhang Chihua thought that she hadn't found the trick and was just knocking around like a headless fly, so it was so easy for her.
But Mu Hanyan now said helplessly that she had found it? ! !
