The next day, City Lord Hua brought Xiang Sheng to the shore of the Black Soul Sea.
Revisit the old place.
Xiang Sheng recalled the last incident and subconsciously touched the jade pendant, but he didn't show any strange expression on his face. Instead, he frowned.
"Lord City Lord, why don't you enter from the Flower Sea? The entrance to the Soul Sea seems more troublesome."
"That's just appearance."
The Flower City Lord shook his head: "Don't be fooled by the calmness at the entrance to the Flower Sea. It is actually a hundred times more dangerous than the entrance to the Soul Sea.
My father did an experiment a thousand years ago. One or two people entered from here and came out alive. Although they died of their injuries not long after, they were still alive.
As for those who entered from the sea of flowers, it was like a drop in the ocean, with absolutely no movement at all. It was truly terrifying.”
"Has anyone ever come out of here alive?" Xiang Sheng was surprised.
"good."
City Lord Hua nodded and said, "Back then, my father relied on the information given by those few survivors to successfully enter the Ghost City. He even sent one of his men out to bring me the news.
Otherwise, how would I know for sure that the pacification of the Yin Ruins was due to my father's contribution?"
After mentioning the previous events, City Lord Hua quickly got back to business and took out a white lantern and handed it to Xiang Sheng.
"When this lamp is lit, it can protect fellow immortals from being harmed by the Soul Sea at a critical moment. The entrance to Yinxu is at the bottom of the sea. Once inside, there is a road shrouded in thick fog.
According to my father's old subordinates, the road was very strange. Some people walked on it for a very long time, as if they had walked for tens of millions of years, but still could not see the end.
Some people also think that the road is extremely narrow and short, and it only takes three to five days to reach the end.
There are a lot of ghosts on the road, and if you are not careful you will be attacked by them in groups. Even the test with the bone beast may not be completely effective. Friend Yuexian must be careful.
At the end of the road, a massive memorial archway stood, inscribed with three large characters, though no one could decipher them. I searched the writings of the three major clans of the Star Realm, as well as those of various tribes, to no avail.
After entering, it is a ghost town.
Fellow Immortal Yue, this is all I know."
City Master Hua raised his hands and clasped his fists, saying solemnly, "I'll leave everything to you!"
Xiang Sheng nodded slightly, said nothing more, jumped into the black sea, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
City Lord Hua was stunned as he looked at the rippling sea surface.
I thought he would persuade her a few more times, or even take out something else, but I never expected that Yue Sheng would be so decisive and show no hesitation at all.
Isn’t she afraid of death?
"If I had known this, why would I have hidden it?" City Lord Hua regretted it deeply.
Upon hearing this, Hua Zongguan shook his head: "Fellow Immortal Yuesheng is swift and decisive, but he is often just a man of great skill and boldness.
If you really tell her, it won't increase your chances of winning much, and it might even scare her away from going in. So why would the master bother making things so complicated?"
"That's not what I'm talking about..."
City Lord Hua sighed.
He just wanted to give "Yue Sheng" some more protective magic weapon, but he never thought of telling her.
Once you enter through the gate at the end of the road, there is no turning back.
Those who were able to come out alive were those who ran back before finishing the journey.
…
As soon as we entered the sea, a bone-chilling cold air instantly enveloped us from all directions.
The surface of the jade pendant was soon covered with a layer of white frost.
The perfect level forbidden rune couldn't withstand this cold power and trembled continuously.
Si Wu Li's face was solemn. Seeing that the runes were about to fall apart, a white palm suddenly covered him.
The restricted space instantly fell into darkness, and the cold feeling was dispelled at the same time, replaced by the woman's cold breath.
Si Wu Li was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened quickly: "Boss Shi, I have entered the Soul Sea, I can come out."
"You can't."
Xiang Sheng clutched the jade pendant in his palm, his tone calm and rational: "The lantern can only protect one person.
And if you come out, there will be two people walking that road, which will cause too many variables."
That was the truth, but Si Wuli still frowned.
He can use any means to exploit his enemies, and he can go with the flow to benefit his allies, but he never makes his allies suffer while he hides in his shell.
After entering the city, he had to repay this favor.
Thinking this in his heart, Si Wu Li fell silent.
Xiang Sheng didn't care what Qingmu thought.
A warm, yellowish light shone through the white lantern, dispelling the coldness and the surrounding darkness, allowing her to see a city sleeping on the bottom of the sea.
Is that a ghost town?
Perhaps it was because of the white lantern that Xiang Sheng did not encounter any danger during his dive.
In just a short while, his feet touched the ground and reached the entrance to the seabed.
The entrance is circular, filled with sea water, and it is pitch black and unfathomable.
Xiang Sheng jumped into it, and after walking for a while, the damp feeling suddenly disappeared and his feet touched solid ground.
A narrow dirt road shrouded in thick fog came into view.
There was dead silence all around, and faint sounds of ghosts howling could be heard from far away.
Xiang Sheng didn't rush onto that path, but quietly observed his surroundings. For some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity.
But as far as she could remember, she had never been to this place.
He suppressed the doubts in his mind, released his hand from the jade pendant, and walked forward slowly with the lantern in hand.
Sensing the light coming in, Si Wu Li looked up and saw the pale yellow lamp swaying slightly in the gloomy mist as he walked. He knew that Boss Shi had successfully entered the Yin Ruins, so he consciously restrained his breath, calmed down, and did not disturb him.
About half an hour later, the shaking lamp stopped.
Xiang Sheng looked at the huge archway standing not far in front of him with a strange look in his eyes.
City Master Hua said that this path might be longer or shorter depending on the person, but wasn't her path too short? She'd finished it in just half an hour.
Furthermore, the journey had been incredibly smooth and peaceful. Not even a single ghost that City Lord Hua had mentioned had been sighted.
After a thousand years, Yinxu has changed so much. What kind of changes have occurred?
Where have all those ghosts gone?
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Xiang Sheng became more alert. He picked up the lantern and looked up at the plaque.
Si Wuli adjusted the angle of the jade pendant by himself.
Soon, the plaque came into the jade pendant's sight. There were three large square characters on it. They looked more like some complicated pattern than words.
He had seen these three words in rubbings in ancient tribal books.
Now that he saw the real thing, he quickly remembered the author's speculation in the book.
"This character resembles a totem. I've seen it in books. Some speculate that the race that used this writing was very ancient, perhaps existing before the creation of the Astral Realm. For unknown reasons, they became extinct."
Si Wu Li said what was written in the book, but the man holding the lantern did not respond for a long time.
Even when Boss Shi was plotting against someone, he was always very polite and never lost his composure.
Could it be...
Si Wuli narrowed his eyes slightly, "Boss Shi, do you recognize the words on the plaque?"
