The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

Although his voice was a little hoarse, it echoed like a bell in this quiet place.

Lan Yunyan nodded slightly, raised her hand to gently stroke the messy hair on her forehead, and swept her eyes across the barren land around her, her eyes full of pity and determination.

"Yes, this land should not remain silent. We must make it revitalized and become a true land of peace between the God Realm and the Demon Realm."

Although the Holy Crystal of Light in her hand was dim, it still emitted a faint warmth, as if responding to her words.

Yun Mengyao and Lin Wan'er supported each other and stood up. Their clothes were tattered and the wounds on their bodies still hurt slightly, but there was an unyielding light in their eyes.

"Then let's start from around this formation. Perhaps we can find a way to help the Land of Chaos recover."

Yun Mengyao tightened the magic sword in her hand, and the sword body flashing with cold light seemed to be telling of their determination.

The four of them dragged their exhausted bodies around the formation, searching carefully. Suddenly, Lin Wan'er spotted a faint light flickering on the ground. The light flickered, as if calling them.

Everyone hurriedly gathered around and saw an ancient stone slab half-buried under the dust. The stone slab was engraved with fine lines and strange symbols, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

Ling Xiuhan squatted down, carefully brushing away the dust on the stone slab, and carefully examining the symbols. These symbols seemed familiar, yet difficult to decipher.

He closed his eyes and mobilized the remaining spiritual energy in his body, trying to resonate with the stone tablet. After a moment, some vague images flashed through his mind, which seemed to be scenes of the former prosperity of the Chaos Land, as well as some clues about mysterious powers.

"This stone tablet may be a guide. It mentions that deep within the Land of Chaos, there is a forgotten spiritual spring. It contains powerful life force that may help this land regain its vitality."

Ling Xiu Han opened his eyes, his eyes full of surprise and anticipation.

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted. Although they were physically exhausted, the flame of hope in their hearts was rekindled. They followed the vague instructions on the stone slab and walked towards the depths of the Chaos Land.

Along the way, they passed through dense ancient forests. The trees in the forest were tall and twisted, as if telling the vicissitudes of time.

The ground beneath their feet was soft and damp, emitting the scent of rotten leaves. From time to time, some strange little animals darted past their feet, looking at these uninvited guests warily.

Deep in the forest, a raging river blocked their path. The water roared and raged, emitting a biting chill. A thick fog hung over the surface, obscuring the view on the other side. Ling Xiuhan picked up a stone and threw it into the river. The stone was instantly swept away by the rushing current and disappeared.

"The river is so fast-flowing, how can we get across?" Lan Yunyan frowned and looked at the river with a troubled expression.

Yun Mengyao looked around and spotted some thick vines by the river. An idea struck her. She drew her magic sword, cut off a few vines, and then wove them together to make a simple rope. "We can use this rope to cross the river. Everyone, be careful."

Ling Xiuhan took the rope, tied one end to a large tree by the river, and swung the other end toward the other side. The rope arced through the air and landed steadily on a tree on the opposite bank. He gripped the rope tightly and stepped into the river. The icy water instantly reached his knees, and the biting cold made his body tremble uncontrollably. But he gritted his teeth and walked step by step towards the other side.

Lan Yunyan, Yun Mengyao, and Lin Wan'er followed behind, holding onto the ropes tightly and carefully moving forward in the turbulent river. The force of the river constantly hit their bodies, causing them to stumble a little, but they supported and encouraged each other and finally crossed the river with great difficulty.

After reaching shore, the four men were soaked to the skin, the cold penetrating their bones. But they had no time to rest. They continued on their journey, and soon, they felt a strong breath of life approaching. As the breath grew stronger, they saw a valley emitting a soft glow ahead. A faint mist filled the valley, resembling a fairyland.

"That should be the place where the forgotten spiritual spring is located." Ling Xiu Han said excitedly, quickening his pace towards the valley.

As they entered the valley, they were astonished by the sight. The valley was covered in green grass, flowers were in full bloom, and colorful butterflies danced among the blossoms. In the center of the valley, an ancient stone platform stood, and above it a spring. The water was crystal clear, bubbling constantly, and exuding a powerful life force.

However, just as they were about to approach the spiritual spring, a group of guardian beasts suddenly emerged from the surroundings. These guardian beasts were small, like elves, but their eyes were very vigilant. They surrounded the spiritual spring, as if guarding this holy place.

"We have no ill intentions. We just want to use the power of the spiritual spring to help the Land of Chaos recover its vitality." Ling Xiu Han stepped forward and said sincerely.

But the guardian beasts seemed to ignore his words. They let out a sharp cry and then attacked the four people. These guardian beasts were agile, and although their attacks seemed small and weak, they carried a strange energy that the four people did not dare to underestimate.

Ling Xiuhan wielded his magic sword, slicing out streaks of black energy, repelling the approaching guardian beasts. Lan Yunyan, using the Holy Crystal of Light, unleashed rays of light, attempting to dispel the guardian beasts' hostility. Yun Mengyao's immortal sword danced, its blades gleaming, each strike precisely blocking the guardian beasts' attacks. Lin Wan'er, on the side, quickly deployed her formation, attempting to restrict the guardian beasts' movements.

During the fierce battle, the four gradually discovered that these guardian beasts seemed to be obeying an invisible command, and their attack rhythm and formation changes were very orderly.

Ling Xiu Han keenly noticed that behind the group of guardian beasts, there was a slightly larger guardian beast. There was a gleam of wisdom in its eyes, and it seemed to be the leader of this group of guardian beasts.
