Zhu Minglang naturally remembered Li Xinghua's advice, so he looked ahead.
"Does Young Master Zhu have any other concerns?" Wang Beiyou asked.
"Even though the walls of this Mountain Impasse City-State have been breached, they did not show any signs of panic. They are most likely still hiding something. When I flew over from a high altitude, I noticed something strange about the ancient ruins," Zhu Minglang said to Wang Beiyou and the other team leaders.
He couldn't say that his sister-in-law told him to go there, right? Zhu Minglang gave a simple reason.
"Indeed, this city isn't simple. I'm afraid that even the great powers of the Extreme Court Continent aren't as strong as this," Zhao Chishun of the Royal Family said.
"Then we'll have to trouble Lord Zhu to remove this hidden danger for us," Wang Beiyou said humbly as he bowed.
"Thank you for your trouble, thank you for your trouble!" The other leaders also said.
Zhu Minglang nodded and took his sister-in-law, Nan Yu Suo, to the ancient ruins shrouded in a mysterious aura.
As soon as they left, Wang Beiyou, Zhao Chishun, and the others of the Purple Division Forest all sighed.
"Elder Jing Lin, it's no wonder that your Zhu Sect has been so successful all these years. Your Lord is a hero, but he's so low-key. He's not like the young people of our Purple Division Forest. They're so complacent just because they have a little bit of strength. Compared to your Zhu Sect's Lord, they're so much weaker. Come visit our Purple Division Forest more often in the future," Wang Beiyou of the Purple Division Forest praised.
In such a large scale battle, even these old seniors found it hard to pull back the tide. It could be seen how dazzling Zhu Minglang was in this joint crusade by the various large powers.
"You flatter me, you flatter me. Our Zhu Faction has always been like this. We don't like to show off our skills. Every one of our members is like this. Our Young Master is naturally the benchmark!" Elder Jing Lin's face was full of smiles.
The other guards of the Zhu Sect were standing to the side, including the few high-ranking guards who had sworn to protect Zhu Minglang with their lives. At this moment, they were all sweating.
They felt a little ashamed of the huge salary that the Zhu Sect gave them every year. They didn't have the ability to protect their Lord, but their Lord had saved their lives.
"If anyone says that Lord is idle and doesn't want to make progress, we'll smash their heads," the guard leader said in a low voice.
The other guards nodded. Not only smashed their heads, but they also wanted to dig their eyes out and feed them to the dogs.... Lord was clearly emitting the seven-colored light of the Chosen One, but they couldn't see him.......
Although Zhu Minglang had left the group, the radiance of the Blue Phoenix, Blue Phoenix Dragon was still shining on the battlefield. The words of the Elders and Heads were not false praise. They were very surprised. With the Blue Phoenix, Blue Phoenix Dragon, high in the sky, protecting the whole army, Zhu Minglang still had the ability to kill one of the Four Heroes of the City-state. Was it because he had not shown his full strength until now??
......
...
. Zhu Minglang and Nan Yu Suo rode the Fire Qilin Dragon to the ancient ruins of the city-state.
The ancient ruins of the city-state were piled up with some ancient gray stones. The ancient walls weren't tall and majestic. Instead, they were mottled with the passage of time.
Zhu Minglang and Nan Lingsha were puzzled when they entered the ancient ruins of the city-state.
Why weren't there any guards?
If this was the core technique of the city-state, why wasn't anyone guarding it? Weren't they afraid of it being destroyed or stolen?
The two continued to walk inside. Nan Lingsha would turn her head from time to time. Her beautiful eyes had a clear luster like a stream. At the same time, she seemed to be worried about something.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"Don't you think we're getting further and further away from the ancient wall we came from?" Nan Yu Suo pointed at the ancient wall.
Zhu Minglang also sensed that something was amiss.
From the outside, the ancient ruins weren't very big. With the Fire Qilin Dragon's speed, they had already walked around once.
However, after entering, they walked for a long time and didn't see the other wall. The distance between them and the wall behind them was no less than the length of the main street in the city-state.
"It looks like this ancient ruins has spatial laws. It's similar to the small worlds in the ancient ruins," Zhu Minglang said.
Nan Yu Suo nodded. She thought so too.
…
After walking a little further, Zhu Minglang and Nan Yu Suo saw an ancient stone palace. The stone palace was intricate and its layout was messy. They could see a dilapidated stone hall that was covered by countless vines. They could also see some ancient corridors that were covered by lush greenery on both sides. They were covered by unknown trees.
Although they showed all kinds of signs of decay and abandonment, it was still possible to tell from the scale of the stone palace, the architectural style, and the number of halls that a group of people once lived here, a civilization that surpassed Li Chuan and Extreme Court. This was because whether it was the dilapidated halls or the landscaped flower beds, they all exuded a holy aura. When one approached, it was as if they were in a spiritual vein.
The two of them stepped into a zither hall. This was one of the better preserved halls. Even though vines covered the walls, the stone materials, pillars, hall tiles, and wall decorations still shone with an extraordinary luster. They were like jade, crystal, and platinum.
"Thump thump ~ ~ Thump thump thump ~ ~ ~ ~"
As he observed everything in the hall, the amazement in his heart turned into ripples in his mind for some reason, as if the strings of a zither were being played in his ears. It was not abrupt, as if he had already sat up straight, sipped a mouthful of tea, and leisurely watched the zither player in front of him, ready for her first song.
The sound of the zither.
Every stone, rock, pillar, and beam in this hall had been influenced by the zither for many years. That was why after being dilapidated and abandoned, there was still the sound of the zither lingering in the air. It made one's mind and body empty. One could listen without a trace of vigilance and feel the beauty that once existed here.
Suddenly, Zhu Minglang seemed to see a zither player. She wore a rainbow dress and was graceful. She used a pair of slender, white, and nimble fingers to play one song after another in front of him.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Minglang came back to his senses. If he hadn't remembered that he was still in the middle of a cruel war, Zhu Minglang would have felt like he was standing here in the morning. When he woke up from a dream, it was already dusk.
Listening to the zither music made one forget the time.
"This is like a temple. I feel like there is some kind of inheritance in the music of the zither. It's a pity that I am not an ability user in this area and am unable to sense it …" Zhu Minglang turned his head and said to Nan Yu Suo.
Nan Yu Suo stood there, her beautiful eyes covered with a thin layer of mist at some unknown time, and her slender eyelashes were also a little wet.
Zhu Minglang was a bit surprised.
Could it be that Nan Yu Suo understood the music that had transcended time?
