Liu Xixue put away her sword and landed from the air. Seeing Jing Tianlei's appearance, she was about to use magic to crack the ground of the house, but was stopped by Jing Tianlei.

"Fairy, you must not do that! The portrait must not be damaged!"

Jing Tianlei exclaimed, and Liu Xixue could only give up her original thoughts.

He and Old Joe looked at each other and could see what the other was thinking.

I can't just watch Jing Tianlei digging here all day long.

Therefore, the two ascenders with the ability to fly and hide underground could only use the most primitive means to dig in the entire yard. Fortunately, Liu Xixue had many magic weapons that could serve as shovels, so they didn't have to dig with their hands all the time.

Previously, Shen Yuzhi possessed Jing Tianlei and killed the spirit beast that caused the flood. The remaining villagers in Cangshui Village were so frightened that they ran away that night. Therefore, no one noticed the noise made by the three people.

The three of them dug in the yard for several hours, changing position after position, from night to day and then to night again.

At this time, the yard had become bumpy, and Jing Tianlei was sunk several meters deep.

Finally, with Jing Tianlei's exclamation, he carefully took the scroll out of the ground.

Although it had been buried for more than ten years, the outside of the scroll was still as clean as new, without any bites from insects or ants, and it looked as if it had just been buried.

"Found it, found it!"

The other two people came up to Jing Tianlei with dusty faces, their faces full of joy after a good harvest.

The rope tied to the scroll was untied, and the scroll unfolded, revealing a somewhat abstract portrait.

"Fairy, this is the fairy you asked me about before!"

Jing Tianlei said excitedly.

Liu Xixue:......

Liu Xixue suddenly became silent. She frowned, looked at the person in the portrait, and recalled the appearance of Chi Jibai in her memory. The difference in appearance seemed quite big.

Her junior brother, the extraordinary swordsman of the Zixiao Realm, a genius admired by countless female cultivators, doesn't seem to look like this, right?

Although Liu Xixue was unwilling to admit it, she could indeed sense Chi Jibai's weak power in the portrait.

Chi Jibai's power is unique, she won't make a mistake.

Seeing Liu Xixue nodded with difficulty, Jing Tianlei's face became even happier.

Found it! Found it!

Although the broken sword was lost, the portrait was found!

Now even if I die, I won’t be scolded by my ancestors!

"but--"

Old Qiao looked at Jing Tianlei with a bitter face.

"What happens after you find it?"

Today's Heavenly Palace is a den of man-eating wolves. Any ascenders caught there will surely die. Lao Qiao does not want to die. He wants to bring more ascenders from the lower world alive, so he must find a solution.

But now there is only a portrait, and although there is a little spiritual energy on it, what use can it be?

Could it be possible that this portrait could become a spirit and lead them to the Heavenly Palace?

When asked this by Lao Qiao, the smile on Jing Tianlei's face suddenly froze.

Yes, what’s the use of finding it?

But that was all he thought of in his dream.

This portrait... seems to be really useless. If it were really useful, Cangshui Village would not have been flooded for the second time.

The scene fell into silence for a while.

Jing Tianlei was so panicked that beads of sweat dripped down his cheeks to the ground. After all, although the two people in front of him became gray because of digging mud with him, they were genuine cultivators who could crush an ordinary person like him to death with just one finger.

If these two masters think that I am fooling them, then they are doomed, right?

After a while, just before Liu Xixue frowned and wanted to ask a question, Jing Tianlei slapped his head and ran away again.

"I remember now! My ancestor told me something else in my dream!"

Liu Xixue was not afraid that Jing Tianlei would really run away. After all, it would be effortless for her to catch up with Jing Tianlei. Although he looked a little crazy and not serious, the portrait really showed Chi Jibai's power, which proved that Jing Tianlei was not fooling people.

Jing Tianlei ran to the temple in Cangshui Village again. According to his memory, the guardian spirit was enshrined here.

It was originally a dilapidated temple, but after experiencing the first flood, the villagers of Cangshui renovated it. Previously, the entire Cangshui village was submerged by the flood, but the temple remained standing amid the flood.

Lao Qiao and Liu Xixue were busy looking for a place to stay and did not notice this short temple. Now that they were closer, they both found it strange.

It seems that there is really a land god enshrined inside. When you get close to here, you can feel peace, but there is also a layer of separation.

Walking in, although no one has offered offerings for a long time, incense is still being burned.

Dust and smoke rose up like a white silk ribbon, and the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, which made people feel peaceful and the restlessness of running around for several days disappeared in an instant.

This place is like a shelter after a disaster.

Liu Xixue looked up and saw a head that looked a little out of place on the statue. Judging from its appearance—

hiss......

Why does he look familiar? He looks like my heartless senior brother...

Liu Xixue had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't think too much about it. After all, the head of the statue had become very blurry, and only the eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar.

Liu Xixue blinked again, her pupils widened, and she saw the head of the statue rolling down and falling at her feet, turning into a white skeleton!

Blood slowly flowed down the cut on the neck, and a creepy and chilling laugh came from the skeleton.

Little trick!

Liu Xixue snorted coldly and cast a spell to break the current predicament. Everything that had been suppressed just now disappeared, and the temple returned to its original state.

There is something strange here.

Focusing attention back on Jing Tianlei, we saw him walking around the temple holding the portrait, but after a long while there was no movement at all.

"It shouldn't be..."

Jing Tianlei muttered.

He firmly believed that there must be a reason why his ancestor sent him a dream. Since he had found the portrait according to the dream, there must be some places in this temple that he had not discovered!

But why is there no response?

Does it have to be that the broken sword is there?

But he lost the broken sword!

Just when Jing Tianlei was getting anxious, the expressions of Lao Qiao and Liu Xixue changed at the same time, but Liu Xixue was faster and her sword had already flown out of the scabbard.

Following a sound of breaking air, there was no sound outside the temple.

After a while, a hoarse voice sounded faintly outside the temple.

"I have no ill intentions in coming here, please come out and see me."

The three of them looked at each other, and finally Liu Xixue and Lao Qiao looked at Jing Tianlei at the same time, as if waiting for him to make a decision.

Jing Tianlei was overwhelmed. One of these two was a ruthless man who dared to beat the messenger from the Heavenly Palace, and the other was a senior who had ascended to heaven for who knows how many years. Why did they all have to listen to his ideas?

Nodding reluctantly, the three of them walked out cautiously, but for some reason, Jing Tianlei always felt that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

I seem to have heard it somewhere before?

Jing Tianlei leaned against the door frame of the temple and looked outside. He was almost scared to death when he saw the black mask.

Messenger from heaven?
