In short, after thinking about all this, no one would doubt Zirong's judgment: this palace was not built by human hands, but was the masterpiece of that divine beast.
But why would it, clearly a divine beast, build such a gigantic human palace? Mu Hanyan and the others were baffled.
At this moment, an angry shout came from the back of the palace, followed by the sound of fierce fighting.
Mu Hanyan turned her head and found that there was a small door at the back of the palace... It would be more appropriate to call it a cave entrance rather than a small door. The cave entrance was about half a meter high and was obviously dug out with animal claws.
Could it be that this is the true lair of the mythical beast? It makes sense. No matter how magnificent the palace is, it is probably incompatible with the aesthetic taste of the mythical beast.
If my guess is correct, it should be the strong man who opened the seal before them and tried to subdue the beast, so they started fighting.
Mu Hanyan didn't hesitate and ran towards the cave entrance first.
The other party was so powerful that even if they tamed the beast, Mu Hanyan would have no choice but to accept her fate. After all, she was not strong enough, and someone else had gotten there first. But why did you destroy the heaven and earth power of the God Continent by taming your beast? It almost destroyed her Han Xiao.
Anyway, with Ye Lanxun there, Mu Hanyan is not worried about how much danger will occur. If there is a chance, she still wants to try to stop the other party. Even if she can't get the divine beast, at least she can keep the Hanxiao Sword.
Compared to the palace, the passage was even rougher, with uneven ground and sharp edges. The passage sloped downward, apparently leading deep underground. As Mu Hanyan raced along, she could hear the sound of flowing spring water, and waves of heat washed over her.
It took less than a quarter of an hour for the group to pass through the passage.
A vast underground molten cave appeared before my eyes, with giant stalactites drooping downward, sparkling with tiny silver lights. In the distance, a red spring gurgled outward, gathering into a pool of water. Then, like a stream, it slowly flowed through the cave and into the depths of the earth in another direction.
Magma, feeling the rolling hot flow, Mu Hanyan realized that what was gushing out of the red spring was not spring water at all, but magma, and lines of heaven and earth belonging to all the lands of the Continent of Gods gushed out from the spring along with the magma.
It turns out that this spring spewing magma is the crack in the sealing barrier between the Holy Court Continent and the Continent of Gods.
Thoughts flashed through her mind, but Mu Hanyan's attention only stayed on the spring for a moment. Soon, her sight rested on several figures in the cave.
In the deepest part of the cave, a figure dressed in black, with a black veil covering his face, was rapidly forming hand seals. In a flicker of light and shadow, a mysterious and complex rune was cast into the lava spring.
Seven agile figures holding long swords guarded in front of him, blocking most of the figure, so Mu Hanyan could not see clearly, but only vaguely felt that it was a woman.
On the other side of the cave, a dozen men and women covered in black armor were cooperating with three ferocious beasts to attack two men, one old and one young.
"Xia Youchen!" Mu Hanyan was shocked when she saw the old man.
Although the old man had white hair and beard, and his face looked a little haggard, he was well-proportioned and no longer had the withered look of a mummy. But Mu Hanyan recognized him at a glance. Wasn't this the Beast Taming Sword Saint Xia Youchen who almost forced her into a desperate situation in the Valley of Exotic Beasts?
Xia Youchen was in a very awkward position facing the frenzied attacks of the dozen or so black-armored swordsmen and the three strange beasts. His body was covered with deep scars that could be seen to the bone. He did not look like a beast-taming swordsman at all.
Mu Hanyan was extremely surprised. Logically speaking, Xia Youchen had been in the Valley of Exotic Beasts for quite some time, and he also had the help of the Qiongqi divine beast. Even if he couldn't recover to his previous peak state, he should be almost there. But at this moment, Xia Youchen was obviously only displaying the strength of a third-level swordsman. He seemed even weaker than when he was in the Valley of Exotic Beasts. He was actually forced by the opponent to have no power to fight back. What was going on?
You have to know that although those ten or so sword masters were wearing black armor and had strong defenses, their cultivation was not very strong. At most, they were only first-level sword masters. There was no way they could have injured Xia Youchen so badly. Also, where was the Qiongqi beast? At this critical moment, he didn't even summon the Qiongqi beast, one of the four ancient fierce beasts. What was he thinking?
By the way, although Xia Youchen did not summon his Qiongqi divine beast, he was not alone and had helpers around him.
Thinking of this, Mu Hanyan looked at the young man again. Because he had his back to her, Mu Hanyan could not see his face clearly. But seeing his tall figure and the broadsword in his hand which was obviously much wider and heavier than an ordinary longsword, Mu Hanyan was shocked: Could it be him?
"Mu Hanyan!" Hearing Mu Hanyan's exclamation, Xia Youchen turned his head and looked over, and also exclaimed. It seemed that he had a deep memory of Mu Hanyan.
Hearing his exclamation, the young man turned his head.
Mu Hanyan's hand almost instinctively grasped the sword, and a murderous intent arose in her heart.
Fen Qianji, it was indeed him!
The scene of the tragic death in the previous life flashed through his mind again, and the long-lost pain and hatred continued to grow in his heart.
The last time she met Fen Qianji in the capital, Mu Hanyan had murderous intent and wanted to kill Fen Qianji on the spot to eliminate future troubles. However, after Fen Qianji risked his life to save the child from the iron hoof of the Red Charcoal Cloud Beast despite being seriously injured, she wavered again.
The various ways Fen Qianji took care of her in her previous life, how he risked his life to save her at the critical moments of life and death, and the scenes of the two of them working hand in hand to escape desperate situations time and time again also flooded into her mind.
Looking back on the past, Mu Hanyan couldn't think of any reason why Fen Qianji would kill her. Why did he do it? Was there some unavoidable hardship? If she couldn't solve this question, she would never be at peace, and it would gradually become her biggest inner demon.
Whether it was self-comfort or self-enlightenment, Mu Hanyan temporarily gave up the idea of killing Fen Qianji.
She was no longer the Mu Hanyan of her previous life. She had already ascended to the rank of Sword Master before the age of sixteen, truly awakening the divinely protected bloodline. Her future cultivation would be incomparable to anything she had achieved in her previous life. Furthermore, knowing that Fen Qianji would harbor murderous intentions in the future, she naturally wouldn't act carelessly. There was no need to kill him now. At the very least, she had to wait until she resolved her doubts before taking action.
Although she had made the decision long ago, when she saw Fen Qianji again, Mu Hanyan couldn't help but feel murderous intent in her heart, and couldn't control the sadness and anger that surged from deep within her heart.
(Fen Qianji: I never thought that I would be like a moth to a flame, knowing that there is no return ahead, but still moving forward without hesitation, and willingly doing so.
Is this considered a spoiler? Please vote for me, sob. Fen Qianji, sob, I am your crazy fan. Please vote for me, please give me some to wipe my tears. By the way, I will announce the group number again: you need to have a fan value of 3,000 to enter. Those with a fan value of less than 3,000 but more than 1,000 can go to another group:)
