Chapter 260 Golden Light in the Eyes

Lu Linger could sense the guilt in the man before her. She gazed tenderly into his eyes, filled with understanding and comfort. How could she possibly blame him? After all, this was their shared mission. Behind them were their families, and she and Gu Yichen had the responsibility to protect them all; they couldn't let their guard down.

"Just protect me and the baby in your belly, and we'll go on together." Lu Linger gently raised her hand and embraced Gu Yichen in her arms, comforting him gently. Her voice was like a clear spring, flowing through his heart.

Gu Yichen lowered his head, looking at his gentle yet strong wife in his arms. A deep warmth of affection flowed through his heart. She and their unborn child had already become his entire world. He softly replied, "Okay."

"Then it's settled." Lu Linger showed a beautiful smile, as if to dispel all the haze. She didn't want her husband to blame himself anymore.

Gu Yichen smiled slightly, with a devilish arc on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "Well, it's a deal, don't even think about leaving me for the rest of your life."

Just as the two were looking at each other affectionately, an inopportune voice shattered the warmth. "Please, can you two consider the location before you start your romance?" Lu Linger's fourth sister, Feng Xinying, rolled her eyes and jokingly said.

Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er exchanged a smile, then followed the group deeper into the hall. On the wall of a side hall ahead, a military formation diagram from the Tianqi Dynasty was engraved. Complex, ancient patterns swirled within, seemingly concealing some secret. Feng Jingxuan, the Crown Prince of Zhennan, was well-versed in military formations. After a moment's careful observation, he deftly mapped out the key elements of the diagram. As he moved, a mechanism was quietly triggered, and the wall slowly shifted, revealing a narrow passage illuminated by the faint light of a night-shining pearl.

"Ling'er, big brother goes first, you guys follow behind." Feng Jingxuan no longer dared to let his pregnant sixth sister Lu Ling'er walk in front. After all, the previous shock was still vivid in his mind.

Feng Jingxuan led the way into the passage, while Gu Yichen followed closely behind, protecting Lu Ling'er. The passage was long and dark, the dim glow of the night-shining pearls embedded in the walls illuminating their shadowy figures. After walking for about half a cup of tea, they finally arrived at another hall.

The hall was spacious and solemn. Three huge circular formations were carved into the ground, forming a complex, swirling pattern that made everyone feel a little intimidated. Lu Linger looked around, feeling a faint sense of unease, and unconsciously tightened her grip on Gu Yichen's hand.

Everyone looked at Li Yun in confusion, hoping he could explain. Li Yun calmly explained, "A pillar will rise up in a moment. Yichen, place the jade pendant you found earlier into the groove of the pillar, and the formation will activate."

Gu Yichen walked to the center of the circular formation. Sure enough, a pillar slowly rose from the ground. He placed the jade pendant into the groove, and the formation immediately activated. As the jade pendant was placed, a dazzling white light emanated from the pillar, and the entire hall ground shook violently. The three circles of the formation on the ground slowly rotated, their patterns constantly aligning, emitting a low rumbling sound.

The sudden shaking caused everyone to lose their balance and stagger unsteadily. Gu Yichen immediately supported Lu Linger and held her tightly in his arms to ensure that she would not be hurt in the slightest.

When the formation was complete, a simple wooden boat slowly emerged before them, and before it lay a tranquil river. On the other side of the river, a magnificent palace could be vaguely seen through the mist, like a hidden secret in the mortal world.

"It seems that is the real dragon vein of the Land of Apocalypse." Ji Yun's eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something, with a complicated expression.

Feng Jingxuan carefully arranged for everyone to board the wooden boat, which, as if possessed by a spirit, slowly drifted along the current towards the other side. Gu Yichen carefully observed his surroundings, vigilantly monitoring the movements outside the hall. Just outside the hall's entrance, he spotted several intricate forbidden formations and signaled Feng Jingyan to proceed, setting up the formations and dismantling them one by one.

Everyone made it all the way to the main hall. At that moment, the stone door slowly opened, and a dazzling golden light shone from within, filling the entire space. The golden light gradually dissipated, and everyone finally saw the interior of the main hall clearly. The door was completely open.
