The next day, when the sun had just risen, hundreds of Han Family disciples had already gathered outside the forbidden area of the Han Family.
They could be said to be the core members of the Han Family.
And now, these people's gazes were uniformly gathered on the youth at the very front. Their eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.
Being stared at by so many people, Yun Fan felt a little embarrassed. If not for the fact that he wanted to find Su Mengqi's mother, Yun Fan would not have been so thick-skinned as to snatch the Han Family's quota.
But now, there was no point in saying too much. He was determined to be the villain.
Under the joint efforts of the Han Family Ancestor and the various elders, the weapons that had been in the forbidden area all year round had been split open by the experts of the Han Family.
Seeing the narrow path vaguely appear in the fog, Han Shuang'er gave Yun Fan a look. Her delicate body moved slightly and flew toward the narrow path.
Yun Fan also raised his head and followed behind Han Shuang'er, stepping directly into the fog.
After entering the fog, Han Shuang'er's voice lightly floated from the front. "Follow me closely. This fog is the maze of the Han Family's forbidden area. If you are not careful and walk the wrong way, you may lose your sense of direction and never be able to walk out of this fog!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan's heart skipped a beat. Immediately, he took two steps forward and followed closely behind Han Shuang'er.
Just like this, the two of them walked for nearly the time it took for a stick of incense to burn. The fog that had been split open behind them slowly began to recover, once again becoming a maze where one could not see their own fingers.
At this moment, Han Shuang'er suddenly stopped in her tracks. Yun Fan did not pay attention and directly mounted on her back. The tip of his nose instantly smelled a sweet fragrance.
"Why did you stop?"
Yun Fan could not help but ask when he saw that Han Shuang'er did not respond in front of him.
Han Shuang'er's breathing gradually quickened. Her voice was a little stiff as she said, "Something seems wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
"Just now, when the Ancestor and the various elders worked together to split open the fog, it seems like they did not completely split the fog apart. The fog in front of us did not split!"
"They did not split it apart?"
Yun Fan was stunned, could it be that the Han Family's Grand Ancestor and the other elders had not eaten anything today and were too weak?
Han Shuang'er said, "Normally, the joint attack of the Grand Ancestor and the Elders should have split the fog into two. Before the fog closed, we could quickly step out of the maze and safely enter the ancestral land. But now, there is no way out on the other side!"
Yun Fan looked behind and said in a deep voice, "The fog behind us has already closed up!"
"Yun Fan, what should we do now?"
Han Shuang'er's voice was trembling. "If we walk in the fog without permission, I'm afraid we'll be lost forever in this maze …"
"Don't panic, let me think of something!"
Yun Fan said in a deep voice.
He pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of his Vermillion Bird Spirit. It was the Vermillion Bird Spirit that had discovered the Ghost-Faced Flower. When Nangong Mo and Nangong Lin ambushed him, it was also the Vermillion Bird Spirit that had discovered them in advance and warned him of many dangers.
It was obvious that the Vermilion Bird's spirit was extremely perceptive.
Would it be able to bring him out of this fog?
Thinking of this, Yun Fan immediately summoned the Vermillion Bird Spirit.
Screech!
As soon as the Vermilion Bird Spirit was summoned, it raised its head and let out a cry.
"Bring me out of this maze."
As if it could understand what Yun Fan was saying, the Vermilion Bird Spirit let out another cry. Then, it flapped its gigantic red wings and dived into the fog in front of them.
Yun Fan grabbed Han Shuang'er's jade-like hand and followed closely behind the Vermilion Bird Spirit.
Not long after, the density of the fog gradually decreased, and gradually, they could see the light outside.
"We're out!"
Han Shuang'er exclaimed in surprise. "It seems like I made the right decision in choosing you as the Guardian!"
If it weren't for Yun Fan today, she would never have been able to walk out of this maze.
However, Yun Fan only smiled faintly. He did not feel complacent, but he was thinking about something in his heart.
"The atmosphere here doesn't feel right …"
Beside him, the Vermilion Bird Spirit also let out a low cry, as if it was reminding Yun Fan of something.
However, when Yun Fan looked around, he saw that it was actually an endless desert. In the distance, there were many broken walls and ruins of buildings.
In the entire area, the wind and sand kept blowing. Occasionally, there would be tornadoes.
"Shuang'er, are you sure this is the Han Family's ancestral land?"
Seeing Yun Fan's serious expression, Han Shuang'er also looked around and nodded. "It should be right. I heard from those who came here before that there is a desert within the forbidden land. Under this desert, the ancestors of the Han Family are buried!"
Yun Fan nodded slightly and said, "Then you can start absorbing the Yin and Yang Qi now. I will stand guard around you."
Seeing that there was nothing suspicious around them, Yun Fan did not voice his suspicions.
"Okay!"
Han Shuang'er's delicate body leaped and directly headed for the high platform in the middle of the desert.
Yun Fan followed closely behind, cautiously observing the surroundings.
When Han Shuang'er reached the top of the high platform and began to meditate, Yun Fan took out the half jade pendant from his storage ring.
At this moment, the light emitted by the half jade pendant was five to six times brighter than before.
"It seems that the answer is here …"
Yun Fan looked around. "It's just that there is no trace of anyone in this area …"
After observing the surroundings again and confirming that there was nothing strange, Yun Fan walked towards the ruins. He felt that the light from the jade pendant was leading him there.
Yun Fan moved cautiously, even holding the Dark Iron Ruler in his hand.
Gradually, he walked to the vicinity of the broken walls and used his gaze to search every inch of the place.
Just as Yun Fan stepped into the center of the ruins, he found a person behind a stone pillar that was ten feet long and as thick as a person lying in the desert.
The person's back was leaning against the stone pillar, and his head was drooping down. It was impossible to see his face clearly, but from his white hair, one could vaguely tell that he was an old man.
"Who's there?"
Yun Fan asked for a moment, but he didn't hear any reply.
Gritting his teeth, Yun Fan carefully stepped forward. When he was ten feet away from the person who was sitting, he found that the person's body was somewhat withered. It was obvious that he had been dead for quite some time.
In the hand of the person was half a jade pendant. It was the other half of the Heart Linking Jade!
Seeing this, Yun Fan's heart skipped a beat. "Could it be that Su Mengqi's mother died here?"
Yun Fan carefully took two more steps forward, only to find that the corpse was actually a male corpse. Moreover, the robe he was wearing was the robe of the Han Family.
Yun Fan felt that the corpse was somewhat familiar. Immediately, he gathered his courage and went forward. He bent down and carefully looked at the person's face.
When he saw the person's face clearly, Yun Fan's pupils constricted, and the hair on his body stood up.
