Yun Sheng originally wanted to figure out the origins of these magic arrays and see if she could restore the magic arrays to their original state.
However, she didn't expect to find a magic crystal the size of a finger in the core area of each magic array.
Those crystals had clearly been buried not long ago, as they still had plenty of magic power.
Yun Sheng's memory was very good. Although she had only seen this kind of crystal once, it left a deep impression on her.
When she was in the Winged Clouds Sea, the third main summoner had used this kind of heart crystal to control Hu Jiusheng.
"It's just a few broken stones. If you like them, this prince will give you hundreds or thousands of them when we return." Dugu Xiu saw that Yun Sheng's face was tense and her eyes were shining, so he came forward.
"If you don't know, then don't pretend to know. These aren't ordinary magic crystals. They're heart crystals. An inch of heart crystal is an inch of lamp. This kind of heart crystal can only be created by one of the eight barren divine artifacts, the Heart Distress Lamp. "Yun Sheng rolled her eyes at him.
However, she didn't know that the anger in her eyes was boundless in Dugu Xiu's eyes. Dugu Xiu was very happy, as if he had gained something from being scolded.
Dugu Xiu had heard of the Heart Distress Lamp before.
Legend had it that the Heart Distress Lamp had a mysterious power that could control consciousness and control living people and magical beasts like puppets.
It was the most mysterious of the eight barren divine artifacts.
Five hundred years ago, the creation of heart crystals had already been banned. However, heart crystals had suddenly appeared in the breeding shed of Taiyuan's castle. There had to be something fishy going on.
The Heart Crystal in Yunsheng's hand still contained a surge of vigorous magic power.
It could be seen that these heart crystals hadn't been created long ago.
To be able to create a large number of heart crystals, this proved that the person who buried the heart crystals in the magic array definitely had the Heart Distress Lamp.
"Heh, are these really heart crystals? Then our trip was really worth it. The Halberd of the Divine Warrior and the Heart Distress Lamp have both appeared. "Dugu Xiu was interested.
He had long heard that the Heart Distress Lamp had been missing for many years.
In the continent of the future, no one knew the whereabouts of the Heart Distress Lamp.
Who would have thought that there would be news about the Heart Lantern in a Taiyuan castle 500 years ago?
"Don't celebrate too early. The Halberd of the Divine Warrior is in the hands of the Prince of Taiyuan. If I'm not mistaken, the Lamp of Sorrow is in the hands of the Zao State. Right now, you and I are alone. Do you think we can win against Taiyuan City and Zao State? "Yun Sheng was not so optimistic.
If her guess was right, and the Heart Sorrow Lantern was really in the hands of the Zao State, then it would be much more difficult to save Taiyuan City from this disaster.
"Whether or not I can win, we'll know after we fight. Don't worry, this prince will bring you safely back five hundred years in the future." Dugu Xiu did not admit it, but he still felt a bit of regret in his heart.
Whether he admitted it or not, as long as Ye Beiming was here, their chances of winning would be much higher.
For the sake of momentary gratification, she had lost a great help like Ye Beiming. It was indeed not worth it.
Yun Sheng put away the Heart Crystal. The guard who went to prepare the medicine earlier came back with a maid.
"The two of you, please take care of the breeding shed. The City Lord has ordered that the two of you can stay in the City Lord's Mansion for the next few days. I have already prepared two living rooms for the two of you." The maid was the head maid of the City Lord's Mansion.
After she arranged everything, she told Yun Sheng and Dugu Xiu that if they had nothing to do, they could walk around the Warcraft Corridor and Taiyuan Garden. However, they were forbidden from entering the City Lord's Mansion, which was the deepest part of the castle.
The sky gradually darkened.
Beside the horizon, a silhouette climbed up the steep mountain wall like a gecko, climbing up a cliff that was several hundred feet high.
Ye Beiming placed Qiu Niang on the side.
The people of the Zao State had already disappeared from the mountain path.
He had expected that the people of the Zao State would not let this matter rest. They would kill him to silence him.
Therefore, when he passed by the horizon, he was already prepared.
When Qiu Niang was pushed off the cliff, he was ready to attack. His fighting power transformed into wings.
In order to make those summoners think that they had been buried under the cliff, Ye Beiming did not come up. He only flew up after confirming that everyone had left.
Qiu Niang was so frightened that she fainted.
Ye Beiming returned to the place where a few summoners had drawn the magic array earlier and checked a few magic arrays.
After a while, Qiu Niang woke up.
"Big brother Ye, what happened?" Qiu Niang was in a daze. She only remembered that she was pushed hard and fell off the cliff.
When she thought of this, Qiu Niang's face turned pale. Her body trembled like a sieve.
Those people from the Zao State wanted to kill her?
"Qiu Niang, it's over. Let's go back to the village first." Ye Beiming already had an idea.
He and Qiu Niang returned to the fishing village under the cover of the night.
But when they arrived at the fishing village, Qiu Niang collapsed on the ground.
The fishing village was in ruins. The villagers' corpses were everywhere.
All the houses in the fishing village were burned to ashes.
"Why, why did they do this?" Qiu Niang was disheartened. She sobbed.
On the sea, a fishing boat was docking.
Several fishermen got off the boat. They were also frightened by the situation in the fishing village.
One of them, a man in his forties, saw Qiu Niang and rushed over.
"Qiu Niang, what happened?" This man was the village chief.
"Father, the village … the village was destroyed by the summoners from the Zao State. Everyone in the village is dead. I was almost killed." Qiu Niang was crying so hard that she could not catch her breath. She told the village chief everything that happened during the day.
"Those bastards." The village chief's face was red with anger, but there was nothing he could do.
They did not dare to tell the governor of Taiyuan.
The Zao State was so powerful that even the governor of Taiyuan was no match for them.
"Do you want to take revenge?" Ye Beiming was a little regretful. He should have guessed that the Zao State would attack the fishing village.
It was a pity that so many innocent lives were lost.
"What's the use of crying? It's better to think of a way to make those summoners pay with their blood." Ye Beiming stopped looking at them with pity.
He never sympathized with the weak.
"You? Who are you? Why do you want to help us? "The village chief saw a strange man and pulled Qiu Niang back.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I can help you take revenge. If you want to deal with the Zao State, you need to prepare these things first. "Ye Beiming wrote a few words in the village chief's hand.
The village chief looked at the words in his hand and hesitated.
He thought for a while. In the end, his hatred for the Zao State prevailed.
"Well, brother, we'll go prepare now. Tomorrow morning, we'll go up the mountain with you. "The village chief was ready to risk everything. He led a dozen fishermen to prepare the things Ye Beiming wanted.
Qiu Niang was silently wiping her tears.
Ye Beiming was looking at the Taiyuan Mountain in the dark with his hands behind his back.
On top of Taiyuan Mountain, the white Taiyuan Castle still shone with a moving luster under the cover of the night.
"Yun Sheng, wait for me. I'll come to you immediately." Ye Beiming said in his heart.
