"Oh...I see."
After Xi Ran left, she took out a packet of yellow amulets from her pocket as she walked.
Looking at the amulet, he pursed his lips, his mouth slightly pursed, and whispered:
"Safety..."
Seeing this, someone nearby smiled and asked:
"Xi Ran, what are you holding?"
Startled, Xi Ran's hand trembled slightly. She quickly put the item back in her pocket and said with a smile:
"Oh, this is a talisman my mother gave me to keep me safe."
"Amulets, huh? I never expected a spirit master like you to believe in such things. Haha, that's quite rare."
He was unaware that Xi Ran's mother had already passed away.
Xi Ran smiled and said softly:
"It may not be of much use, but whenever I see it, it reminds me of what my mother said. She said that kind people will always be safe and sound throughout their lives."
The senior student nodded emphatically and said with a smile:
"Of course! We definitely will! Because that's our duty! To fight for those who cannot fight."
"Um!"
She smiled and nodded, subtly wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes.
Silently recite in your heart:
"It definitely will..."
At this time, the Bai family was discussing countermeasures.
"What do we do now? The current situation regarding the inheritance of this tomb ruins makes it inconvenient to take action. Perhaps we should just give up?"
The Bai family originally planned to wait until everyone separated after entering the tomb ruins, and then find a secluded place to deal with Feng Ling.
Unexpectedly, once inside, everyone stayed together.
This disrupted the Bai family's plans.
"No, the Feng family is already here. We absolutely cannot let Feng Ling return to the Feng family. If all else fails, expose his identity in the tomb ruins and then arrest him according to the law."
"Of course, it's best to do these things secretly..."
"If there's really no other way, just detonate the spiritual energy bomb and kill him instantly. In any case, we can't let him fall into the hands of the Feng family."
His subordinates all looked troubled upon hearing this.
"But the Feng family members are all here! Tianya and the others..."
"It's alright, Patriarch, and many other experts from the clan are already on their way! The Feng family couldn't beat us back then, and they certainly can't now! Just don't hurt Ruo Qingyan."
"The patriarch is here too? That's wonderful!"
Upon hearing that Bai Qiling was coming, everyone instantly felt reassured.
"Go check the array at the entrance of that tomb ruin and see if you can temporarily close the tomb ruin from the inside."
"yes!"
Within the ruins, all those who had traveled to the border had reached their destination.
The desert four hundred years ago appears even more desolate than it is today.
Yellow sand blew in with the wind, and a fierce gale raged.
A city that seems to be shrouded in thick earth stands on the edge of the desert.
The flag of China has been worn and tattered by the wind and sand, but it still stands tall on the city wall.
Like this city, though dilapidated, it still proclaims the sovereignty of the nation.
Upon arriving here, everyone felt a sense of loneliness.
There were many people, yet I still felt lonely.
Perhaps it's because humans are so insignificant in the face of this vast desert.
As before, someone went in to scout ahead first.
Fengling and Ruo Qingyan waited in the back first.
"Junior brother, aren't you going to wait for the others?"
Suddenly, a commotion came from the Lei family's side.
Everyone looked over upon hearing this.
It turned out that Lei Jingyun wanted to be the first to enter the dungeon; he didn't want to wait behind to collect the answers.
Even without him saying it, Fengling could guess.
This guy probably got too into character and really identified with Yaohua.
I want to discover all the truth for myself.
This guy is always stubborn; once his temper flares up, no one can stop him.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to run away halfway through the wedding procession.
Lei Jingyun was the first to enter the instance.
It stopped at the city gate.
Strangely, everyone who entered the instance had a furrowed brow.
Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, accompanied by constant trembling of his body.
However, this time, several days passed and no one was eliminated.
Those people's faces were deathly pale, and their lips were trembling slightly!
Finally, the fifth day passed...
Someone was eliminated from the instance.
When he came out, he seemed completely exhausted and collapsed onto the ground.
He was panting heavily, looking like he was in pain.
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
"Nothing special. Once inside, you're at the border, invaded by foreign tribes. They just keep killing and killing, endlessly, for five whole years... They wiped out everyone in the city. The intensity was a bit too high. I... couldn't resist."
As he spoke, he looked out at the distant desert, his lips parted in defeat, his eyes filled with fear.
That illusion felt so real.
"Five days, five years, that means one day is a year... So Yaohua has stayed on the frontier for more than 50 years. That means he has to go for more than 50 consecutive days without eating, drinking, or resting?"
The group exchanged glances; this was the moment to truly test their strength and perseverance.
On the sixth and seventh days, most of the people who went in were eliminated.
Everyone who came out looked half-dead.
However, Lei Jingyun was still standing there, even though he was trembling all over.
Midway through, the Lei family used a magical artifact to feed Lei Jingyun, who was unconscious, water, liquid food, and medicine, in order to ensure his bodily functions.
This is much more efficient than feeding by hand.
It has to be said that the Lei family has a lot of fancy and extravagant things.
After eating all sorts of things, Lei Jingyun looked noticeably better!
This is truly how technology changes lives; even Yaohua had to admit he was impressed.
Soon, the Ruo and Bai families used their financial power to buy new machines from the Lei family.
He even used it on his own family's disciples.
A few days later, the Ruo family also decided to let Fengling and Ruo Qingyan enter the instance ahead of time.
This instance takes too long, and they're afraid that Lei Jingyun will finish it first and seize the initiative.
Before entering, Fengling said something to the Ruo family disciples around her:
"No matter what happens, there must be at least 80 people by our side..."
He glanced at the Bai family as he spoke.
"Don't worry, junior brother. We've all been eliminated. Our next task is to ensure your safety and fully cooperate with your inheritance."
Fengling and Ruoqingyan, feeling reassured, exchanged a glance and slowly stepped onto the path of inheritance.
I opened my eyes on a dark and windy night.
Fengling stood atop the city wall, gazing at the distant, dark desert.
At this time, Ruo Qingyan also entered the path of inheritance.
But unlike the wind chimes, she woke up in a boudoir.
After opening her eyes, she immediately got out of bed, but as she passed a mirror, she stared blankly at herself in the mirror.
? ? ?
She touched her face in confusion. Why... am I still like this?
At this moment, she still looked exactly the same as before!
"What's going on?"
Wait a minute, what about the wind chimes?
Won't...
