Just as Demonic Neonate swallowed the purple crystal, its grayish-purple pupils immediately deepened in color. Moments later, they turned dark purple.
Before Zhou Wen could size it up carefully, Demonic Neonate automatically transformed into a dark beam of light and returned to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen sensed that Demonic Neonate's consciousness was gradually turning blurry. He had experienced this many times before. It was a sign that she was about to evolve.
He reached out to pick up the white object on the ground and held it in his hand to observe it.
Zhou Wen had definitely never seen this before, but the material of its shell was almost identical to his mysterious phone. Be it color or texture, there was no difference.
Zhou Wen took out the mysterious phone and wanted to compare it to see if the two were really made of the same material. To his surprise, just as the mysterious phone touched the white object, the white object's line seemed to be attracted by a magnet as it was sucked to the end of the mysterious phone.
The mysterious phone's screen automatically lit up, showing a charging battery.
This … Zhou Wen was momentarily speechless as he looked in the direction of the ancient well. His expression kept changing as countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Ever since he obtained the mysterious phone, he had never charged it. The mysterious phone didn't need to be charged, nor did it have a charging port.
But now, it was being charged. The battery icon on the screen also showed the battery percentage. It only had 1% left.
Zhou Wen didn't know the difference between the mysterious phone being charged and not being charged, but that wasn't what he was most concerned about.
Zhou Wen's father had explained the origins of the phone very clearly. It was dug out from an ancient well in Guide Ancient City by Zhou Wen's grandfather, but Zhou Wen's father wasn't too sure which ancient well it was.
Looking at the current situation, that thing was clearly something that came with the phone. It was most likely something like a power bank.
"Could it be that the mysterious phone was dug out from this ancient well?" Countless thoughts flashed through Zhou Wen's mind as he looked at the charging phone. His expression turned even more complicated.
He thought of a possibility. If the mysterious phone was really dug out from this ancient well, then could the skeleton just now be the remains of his grandfather?
Zhou Wen had seen the power of the necklace with his own eyes. Even with Demonic Neonate's strength, it was difficult for her to injure it at all.
Zhou Wen roughly estimated that his strike probably couldn't damage the necklace, but when he approached it, the necklace automatically opened.
Also, when the skeleton dissipated, it seemed like it had let go of its hand, causing the charger to fall. Also, when he was about to chop down, his heart palpitated.
These abnormal situations made Zhou Wen suspect that the skeleton had done it deliberately. If the skeleton was really Zhou Wen's grandfather's remains, everything could be explained.
However, Zhou Wen recalled that his grandfather hadn't gone missing, nor had he been buried. He had been cremated when he passed away. The young Zhou Wen had even attended the funeral, so it was unlikely that his remains had been left behind.
"What's going on?" Zhou Wen couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it. The skeleton had already dissipated, so it was impossible to find any clues.
Looking at the phone that was charging, Zhou Wen had no choice but to wait for the time being. He wanted to see what would happen after the phone was charged. Perhaps there would be clues when the time came.
"Is it not just a coincidence that the mysterious phone was dug out from the ancient city?" Seeing that the battery had just jumped from 1% to 2%, Zhou Wen picked up the phone and tried to operate it. He realized that the phone couldn't be operated at all. It was stuck at the charging screen.
"Old Zhou, what are you doing?" Li Xuan shouted as he pushed the door open and walked in.
There had been many things happening in Guide Ancient City recently. Zhou Wen had been a hands-off manager, so most of the work was coordinated by Li Xuan.
"When did you come?" Zhou Wen asked Li Xuan.
"I just arrived. What's wrong?" Li Xuan looked at Zhou Wen in puzzlement.
"Did you hear anything or see anything?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"Say, are you in this yard? Did a spy barge in? I didn't hear or see anything. "Li Xuan immediately sized up the yard warily, but he didn't discover anything.
"No, didn't you see a light rush out from this ancient well?" Zhou Wen recounted the appearance of the skeleton, but he didn't mention the charger. It was difficult to explain.
"According to what you said, I should have seen it from afar, but I didn't see anything just now. This Guide Ancient City is indeed a little odd. I wonder if it's a blessing or a curse for us to occupy this place. I hope nothing bad happens." Li Xuan paused for a moment before continuing, "There's something I need to discuss with you. Overseas's Niten Flying Immortal Palace has contacted us. They want to move to our Guide Ancient City. What do you think?"
Zhou Wen thought for a moment before recalling Sei Gasakai. After some thought, he said, "Although the Niten Flying Immortal Palace established by Sei Gasakai is an overseas faction, it hasn't had much conflict with inland. It can be considered to have maintained its neutrality. Furthermore, in this era, be it overseas or inland, they are all part of humanity. We are in need of manpower now. If there's no grudge, there's no harm in taking them in."
"I think so too, but there's still a small problem," Li Xuan said with a smile.
"What small problem?" Zhou Wen asked with a frown.
"Niten Flying Immortal Palace wanted to move inland some time ago. The six families and some large factions are very interested in them. They have also come into contact with them and offered pretty good conditions. Even I was tempted when I heard those conditions, but for some reason, they rejected all of them. Furthermore, they took the initiative to contact us and wanted to move to our place. The conditions they raised were far inferior to the conditions given by the six families. "Li Xuan paused to give Zhou Wen some time to digest the information.
"Are you suspecting their motives?" Zhou Wen asked.
"A little, but that's not the most important thing. Most importantly, the Family Clan of Gods seems determined to obtain the Niten Flying Immortal Palace. Not only did they actively contact the Niten Flying Immortal Palace again, but they also offered better conditions. They even used their connections to tactfully express their hope that we can reject the Niten Flying Immortal Palace." Li Xuan recounted the entire matter.
"Who did they find?" Zhou Wen asked after some thought.
"Your family." Li Xuan didn't say it directly.
"The An family?" Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback.
"Yes, but Brother Sheng contacted me and said that there's no need to worry too much. If there's a need, just take in the people from the Niten Flying Immortal Palace," Li Xuan added.
When Zhou Wen heard this, he roughly understood that the Family Clan of Gods had definitely exerted pressure on the An family.
