"Come out!"
Chen Nan hurriedly ran his magic skill and activated the power of the Heaven-splitting. The Black and Yellow Battle Qi covered his whole body like a layer of armor.
He looked around vigilantly and suddenly turned around, but he did not find any trace of the mummy.
"Is she really not dead yet?"
Chen Nan was shocked. How could a person who was so thin that she was only skin and bones, without any water on her body still be alive?
He carefully glanced behind him, but found nothing. But when he turned around, he found that the mummy had returned to its original position, the front of the right row.
"This …"
Chen Nan took a few steps back.
He raised his vigilance to the extreme. The Black and Yellow Battle Qi on his body was surging, and he walked toward the mummy step by step.
However, when he walked closer to examine it carefully, he found that the mummy had no signs of life at all. It was like a dead object that had been placed there, without the slightest sign of life.
Since it was already dead, how could it suddenly disappear and then return to its original position?
Chen Nan stared at the mummy for a full five minutes without even blinking, but the mummy did not move at all, as if it had been standing there all the time and had never moved.
"Did I see wrongly just now?"
Chen Nan scratched his head, feeling a little confused. Logically speaking, with his current cultivation, it was impossible for him to see wrongly.
"Maybe I was so nervous that I really saw wrongly!"
Chen Nan thought, but he still could not understand why he was attacked mentally when he was examining the woman in red.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Nan did not find anything unusual, so he walked toward the woman in red again.
Looking at the nine flying swords inserted in her body, Chen Nan knew very well that they were definitely peerless weapons, which were far superior to those magic weapons of cultivation that he usually saw. Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill a peerless master like the woman in red.
"Ta …"
Chen Nan reached out and grabbed one of the flying swords.
Chen Nan used all his Internal Strength to pull it out, but the flying sword did not move at all, as if it had been integrated with the woman's body. He could not pull it out at all.
"Damn it, it can't be so abnormal!"
Chen Nan scratched his head and felt a little incredulous. A flying sword that had been inserted into a human body could not be pulled out.
Glancing at the other eight flying swords, Chen Nan grabbed another one, but he still could not pull it out.
Chen Nan tried the remaining seven swords, and the result was not unexpected. each of them seemed to have taken root in the woman's body. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move them.
What was even more strange was that even under Chen Nan's forceful tug, the woman in red was still able to stand firm. She didn't even sway a bit.
Chen Nan was not willing to give up on the nine flying swords that could be considered as divine artifacts.
However, he could not pull them out with his current strength. After staring at them for a while, he could only turn around helplessly and look at the chair behind the woman in red.
The chair was entirely red, and it was the main seat of the entire hall.
Chen Nan did not know if he was hot-headed or what, but he sat down on the chair as if he was driven by his subconscious.
"Buzz …"
The moment Chen Nan sat down, the entire hall trembled.
Then, with a "swoosh", a long circular tube fell from the beam of the hall and rolled to the ground at Chen Nan's feet.
Chen Nan frowned and bent down to pick up the long circular tube.
The tube was pale yellow and looked like it was made of paper, but it did not seem to be. There was a red string tied in the middle of the tube, as if it was rolled up by a piece of paper.
Chen Nan was so curious that he forgot to stand up. He sat on the chair and untied the red string.
Chen Nan opened the paper roll and stood up in shock.
After the paper roll was opened, there was a painting on it. It was a painting of a person. The woman in white in the painting was exactly the same as his junior sister, Ye Yiyi. Even her eyes were very similar.
"This …"
Chen Nan was dumbfounded.
The painting in his hand was from thousands of years ago, or even longer ago. How could the person in the painting be his junior sister?
Could there be a woman who looked exactly like his junior sister in that era?
Su Qingqing looked like the statue of the Saintess of the Immortal Spirit because she was the descendant of the Saintess. But why did his junior sister look the same? Could it be that, like Su Qingqing, the woman in the painting was his junior sister's ancestor?
Chen Nan felt that things could not be so coincidental.
Because even if they were descendants, after thousands of years, the bloodline of their ancestors would have become very thin. The probability of them growing the same face was very small. There could not be such a coincidence.
But if they were not ancestors, what could make the two of them look so similar?
Chen Nan could not figure it out. He inadvertently glanced at the painting and saw a few lines of small words on the right side of the person in the painting.
However, these were all ancient words and were completely different from the words of today.
Fortunately, Xuan Tianji was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also in other fields. For example, when Chen Nan was on the mountain, he was forced to learn some of these ancient words.
It was a pity that Chen Nan did not work hard and did not master them.
He did not recognize many of the small words on the painting.
"… Thousands of tribulations … Fight with the heavens … Soul … Scatter … The mortal world … Wait for your return …"
Chen Nan could only recognize these four words. He could not make out the specific meaning at all.
However, according to the meaning of the sentences before and after, Chen Nan could guess a few words. The first sentence should be "thousands of tribulations", the middle sentence should be "soul scatter", and the last sentence should be "the mortal world waits for your return".
"Thousands of tribulations … Fight with the heavens … Soul scatter … The mortal world waits for your return."
According to the general idea, after removing the words that he did not recognize, there were only these few sentences that were connected. Chen Nan still could not understand the specific meaning, but the last sentence should be about waiting for his lover's return.
The reason why it was said to be his lover.
It was because, in the calligraphy of these words, Chen Nan felt a strong sense of longing. This could only be the love between a man and a woman.
As for whether the woman in the painting was waiting for her lover's return, or her lover was waiting for the woman in the painting to return, Chen Nan could not tell.
However, from this painting, he felt that the second possibility was more likely. Her lover missed the woman in white deeply, so he drew this painting and wrote a few lines of small words on the side. If the woman in white missed her lover, then the person in the painting should be her lover and not herself.
"Dong …"
Just as Chen Nan was thinking, suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard, echoing throughout the entire hall.
