A moment ago.
In an ancestral hall filled with the vicissitudes of life, the strangely shaped floor suddenly flashed, and a dazzling golden light was emitted from it. It was like a sun, and it immediately alarmed the people outside the ancestral hall.
There was a small courtyard outside of the ancestral hall. There were a few rooms built around it, surrounding the ancestral hall. There was a corridor at the front of the ancestral hall. On the other side of the corridor was a small bamboo forest, blocking the main entrance to the ancestral hall. Hence, unless one was in front of the ancestral hall, one would not be able to clearly see the situation inside the ancestral hall.
At this moment, between the pillars of the corridor, a young girl was shyly looking at the bright light emitted from the ancestral hall. Her pair of strange eyes flashed with a curious splendor.
After a short while, the golden light in the ancestral hall gradually disappeared. Under the young girl's shocked gaze, two figures appeared in the ancestral hall at the same time.
At this moment, the young girl was shocked. Although she wanted to escape, for some reason, her delicate body seemed to be fixed on the spot, unable to move. She could only look at the two people in the ancestral hall with her heart trembling. She was both frightened and curious.
"Where … is this place?"
Xiao Yan's eyes were surprised and uncertain as he observed the environment he was currently in. Both of his eyes contained some caution as he exchanged glances with Xiao Xuan in front of him. After which, their eyes rotated. Soon after, they landed in the middle of the ancestral hall.
There was a stone statue enshrined here, and the two of them were very clear about the appearance of the stone statue. After all, they had met it not long ago.
The stone statue's appearance was that of Esteemed Tian Jue.
From the looks of it, the two of them seemed to have fallen into the array that Esteemed Tian Jue had set up long ago. He must have planned to send them here.
"The ancestral hall enshrines Esteemed Tian Jue. This should be his family or the place where he was born."
Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuan's eyes continued to observe their surroundings. Both of them clearly understood that now was not the time to catch up. They must first clearly see the situation in front of them and wait until everything had calmed down before doing anything else.
"But why did he send us here? It has been a thousand years. Even if there is someone or something that he can't let go of, time has passed, and I'm afraid we can't help him achieve it. Moreover, he hasn't told us about it."
Xiao Yan looked at the stone statue and shrugged helplessly. He turned around and was about to step out of the ancestral hall.
"Wait, he must have sent us here for a reason. Also, didn't you notice that there is a trace of his aura here?"
Xiao Xuan smiled. His dark eyes slowly turned, and soon, they locked onto the top of the stone statue. There was a plaque hanging.
There were four big words written on the plaque in bold strokes.
Leave it to fate.
"Freedom. What a great 'freedom.' Does he mean that it belongs to the fated one?"
Xiao Xuan chuckled faintly. With a thought, his majestic Soul Power immediately spread out and turned into an invisible palm that approached the plaque.
Xiao Yan was suspicious. He glanced at the plaque and used his Soul Power to probe it, but he didn't find anything. However, Xiao Yan naturally didn't doubt Xiao Xuan at all. Hence, he stood where he was and waited quietly.
After a short while, Xiao Xuan withdrew his Soul Power. At the same time, a Storage Ring appeared in his hand.
"This is …"
The expression in Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly solidified the moment he saw this storage ring. His mouth involuntarily let out a surprised cry.
Since the storage ring was placed in such a place by Tian Jue, it must be Tian Jue's own storage ring. Compared to the things in the ancient tomb, perhaps the things in this storage ring were Tian Jue's real collection!
It was easy to imagine just how precious the Storage Ring of a Returnance expert was.
"Oh right, the Returnance Technique!"
Xiao Yan hurriedly said after returning to his senses.
Xiao Xuan was slightly startled when he heard this. After which, he quickly recovered. Due to him having practiced the first scroll, he could be said to be extremely clear about the secret of the Origin Returning Skill. Compared to others, Xiao Xuan's heart should be even more anxious about the importance of this Qi Method. However, from the looks of the current situation, it seemed that Xiao Yan was even more concerned about it than him.
Xiao Xuan smiled and shook his head. A thought passed through his mind and an enormous Spiritual Strength once again surged out. It was swiftly poured into the Storage Ring in his hand. Xiao Yan by the side carried a fiery heat as he anxiously waited.
A few minutes later, Xiao Xuan's Soul Power withdrew from the Storage Ring along with a scroll.
Needless to say, it was the Returnance Technique!
"The Returnance Technique, it really is the Returnance Technique. Tian Jue purposely left the Returnance Technique here to prevent those who wantonly destroyed his tomb from obtaining it."
"That's why it's said to follow fate and rely on human nature. We were lucky. If we hadn't stayed in the palace earlier, we wouldn't have been teleported here, and we wouldn't have been able to avoid that disaster."
Soon after, Xiao Xuan slowly opened the scroll in his hand with some anticipation.
"Buzz buzz buzz …"
Soon after, however, a golden light flashed from within the scroll when it was opened. Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuan involuntarily took two steps back. After which, an illusionary human figure slowly appeared within the golden light.
It was Tian Jue.
However, it was only an image, and they couldn't talk freely like before.
"Fated person, since you were able to open this scroll for me, it means that this is fate between us. This scroll originally shouldn't belong to me, but everything is fate. To be able to pass through the formation and come here, it means that your temperament is not bad. Therefore, I hope that you can help me with one last thing."
"If the village where the ancestral hall is still around, I hope that you can do one thing for the village before you leave. The Returnance Technique and all the items in my Storage Ring will be your reward."
"In addition, you only need to do one thing. After that, no matter what happens to the village in the future, it will no longer have anything to do with you. If the village is already destroyed by the time you see this, then everything will be fine."
The image ended at this point. Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuan were startled as they looked at each other. After which, the scroll returned to Xiao Xuan's hand. Soon after, the two of them turned around in unison. Two pairs of dark-black eyes looked at the corridor outside of the ancestral hall.
There, a young lady in a red dress was looking at the image that had disappeared from the ancestral hall in a daze. She didn't notice Xiao Yan and Xiao Xuan's gazes.
