Shangguan Liuyue chuckled.
Everyone looked at him with suspicion.
Shangguan Liuyue waved her hand: "Out of control, out of control."
--
The dimly lit passageway was damp and long, seemingly endless.
The sound of footsteps hitting the water was very clear and assaulted one's eardrums.
Lanqiao seemed to walk tirelessly, step by step.
The images flashing through my mind became clearer and longer.
"This is not my path, nor is it the path you should take."
"Why? What did she do wrong? Isn't the Baili family good enough already? Why should she be sacrificed?"
"I never knew this world could be so filthy..."
The footsteps suddenly stopped, and Lan Qiao began to breathe slightly. He looked up ahead. In the darkness, it seemed as if thousands of evil spirits were struggling and attacking.
In that darkness, a faint, crystalline blue light emanated from within.
The blue light gradually grew larger, unfolding before his eyes like a scroll painting.
"Tree……"
In the vast, dark distance ahead, a giant banyan tree stands between heaven and earth.
The surrounding darkness and emptiness made everything seem so unreal.
Lanqiao blinked, and then saw three figures suddenly appear under the banyan tree.
The girl, holding a book, strolled slowly, her gaze gently falling to her feet.
A little girl looked up at the young woman with a smile, her eyes full of admiration.
Beside them, a boy was grinding ink.
A yellow butterfly drifted down from the banyan tree and landed in front of the little girl.
The little girl reached out and touched the butterfly's wings, and the butterfly seemed to be frozen in mid-air.
The little girl quietly closed her eyes.
Suddenly, the scene seemed to be burned, the colors of the entire scene faded, and even the big tree withered, leaving only branches.
Boundless hatred rose from the bottom of his heart, and a surge of murderous aura began to rush towards him from all directions.
Lanqiao's eyes turned crimson as he walked step by step toward the withered banyan tree.
--
"Such a dense aura of malevolence!" The cultivators who had just entered the crevice were so overwhelmed by the dense aura of malevolence that they almost couldn't catch their breath.
Even the surrounding spiritual energy was swept away and disappeared without a trace.
Someone frowned and said, "Didn't they say there was a rare treasure here? How come there's malevolent energy here?"
"It's normal for it to have malevolent energy. Don't forget, this place was once the battlefield of the war between gods and demons. Even if there are rare treasures, they were left over from that era. Shouldn't it have malevolent energy?"
"Yes, he's right. Let's hurry up and leave, lest those disciples from sects and aristocratic families come and we lose our lives, let alone the rare treasures."
"This place is huge! It's practically an underground palace, but there are no buildings. I wonder what this place was for back then, to have built such a large place. How many people must have lived here?"
"The war between gods and demons has always been a mystery. Perhaps we can discover many unknown things this time."
--
With no one in the way, Shangguan Liuyue's story was told slowly and gradually.
He told us about Xiao An and Xiao Tian's life in the Hundred Flowers Forest.
"Xiao An is a very quiet girl. She always sits quietly under a banyan tree, listening to Xiao Hua tell some strange and wonderful stories."
"Xiao Hua loves to tinker with things that others don't know about. For example, the medium we use today was invented by her. Before that, we only had communication talismans."
Everyone was surprised.
"It was actually Xiaohua who invented it." Yunling's tone was somewhat envious, but she quickly fell silent.
Shangguan Liuyue's eyes flickered, she looked in one direction, and sighed softly.
He waved his hand and created a barrier that enveloped them.
The people have arrived; it's finally time to begin.
Groups of cultivators emerged from the passageway, all astonished that such an underground town existed in the world.
Some people ran to open the doors of some houses and found several corpses lying quietly on the beds inside.
Almost every household has it.
"There are people here." Someone saw the group sitting on the steps and tried to walk over, but was blocked by a green light.
They couldn't get close enough to get there, yet they could hear them talking.
Many monks gathered around.
They searched the place from top to bottom and found nothing but some corpses.
So they all turned their attention to the people in the light screen.
The cultivators outside could see them through the light screen.
However, the people inside the light screen were unaware that they were already surrounded by cultivators outside.
Except for Shangguan Liuyue.
Shangguan Liuyue continued, "Although Xiao An has spiritual roots, she has never cultivated because it was deliberately hidden from her since childhood. Xiao Hua taught her to cultivate, and Xiao An is a genius. In just one year, she reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Xiao Tian, who is equally talented, has already reached the Golden Core stage."
"Who are they talking about?" In order to hear clearly what the people inside were saying, the cultivators who had rushed in gradually quieted down.
At this moment, someone asked a question, and naturally everyone heard it clearly.
"I don't know, we just came in too. By the way, who are the people inside?"
"I don't know, but it doesn't look like an illusion. I guess I'll listen to it first."
"To reach Foundation Establishment in just one month? Is that what you call genius? This guy must be the Heavenly Dao's favorite son."
"Hmm...it could also be her biological daughter."
"That's not important, okay?"
"good……"
Shangguan Liuyue: "But this year, Hundred Flowers Forest was not peaceful either. Although those who were chasing them did not dare to challenge Hundred Flowers Forest directly, they could put pressure on Hundred Flowers Forest from other places. As a scion of a noble family, the boy naturally knew these methods, but he did not expect that every time those people came up with some dark methods, Xiao An could accurately see through their intentions."
"Over time, the boy noticed some clues. Every time Xiao An revealed some information to Xiao Hua, a new gray hair would appear on her head the next day. At that time, Xiao An was clearly not even twenty years old."
"Wow! The Hundred Flowers Forest... Is this some kind of secret about the Hundred Flowers Forest? Who is Xiao Hua?" The cultivators watching outside were in an uproar again.
"Shut up, listen carefully," a deep voice said.
Everyone looked over and was startled.
"Isn't this...someone from the Shangguan family?"
"Shh..."
Inside the barrier, Shangguan Liuyue was still speaking.
“The boy is very smart…” A hint of sarcasm flashed in Shangguan Liuyue’s eyes: “Perhaps he is very smart. He made a connection to a rumor that circulated in the Nine Realms at the time.”
"The Scroll of All Heavens..."
"The Scroll of All Heavens!" Outside, those who had once entered the scroll also had these three words flash through their minds for some reason.
Clearly, the Scroll of the Heavens has now spread throughout the entire Nine Realms Continent.
Those outside the barrier began to get excited.
Is the secret of the Scroll of Heaven about to be revealed?
"The Scrolls of the Heavens really exist?!"
"Moreover, the Scroll of All Heavens is actually related to the Hundred Flowers Forest!"
