Chapter 476: Ancient Ruins
Ling Siye said, "Wu Lan's name appeared in a report about an ancient site. The report mentioned that she once tried to enter a strictly protected ancient site, but was stopped."
Jiang Huan nodded. "The thing I didn't tell you earlier is about this ancient ruin. I learned about its existence from two people from Danzhou. They said that sometimes they see Wu Lan going to the ancient ruin alone, and sometimes he goes there with a group of people."
"If that's the case, why don't we go to the ancient ruins? Do you have any information on how to get there?"
“There’s a route.” Jiang Huan used her spiritual power to carve the route to the ancient ruins onto a spirit stone and handed it to Ling Siye. “The route is here.”
While Ling Siye was checking the route, Jiang Huan began to ponder the relationship between Wu Lan and the ancient ruins.
Finally, she dialed her grandfather's number.
Grandpa said that there was no signal where the Soul-Locking Pillar was located, but she can make a call now, which means there is no Soul-Locking Pillar there.
"Huanhuan, how are you now? Are you alright?" came Old Jiang's worried voice from the other end of the phone.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, A-Ye and I are both fine. We're in Danzhou now."
"Danzhou? Why would you be in Danzhou?"
Grandpa Jiang's question left Jiang Huan bewildered. "Grandpa, the map you gave me shows Danzhou..."
"That's impossible! I've never even been to Danzhou!"
“This…” Jiang Huan frowned, “Grandpa, could it be that you’ve misremembered?”
"I..." Old Jiang was stunned. He took out the map, looked at it, and shook his head. "I remember correctly."
“Since I remember correctly, it must be for some other reason. If you haven’t been to Danzhou, then there’s no point in asking you about this! I’m going back to work now, Grandpa, please take care of yourself.”
After saying that, Jiang Huan quickly hung up the phone.
"What's wrong?" Ling Siye asked.
“Grandpa said he’d never been to Danzhou, but the map he gave me shows the Soul-Locking Pillar is in Danzhou.” Jiang Huan frowned, fiddling with her phone. “Well, we’re already here, let’s deal with the immediate problem first. The old woman we met along the way, Wu Lan, and that cave—they all have the exact same patterns. Maybe they’re all from the same place…”
The more they analyzed, the more they realized that Wu Lan might be related to a mysterious entity, and that this entity might be using sacrifices to find an important secret of Danzhou.
If we can capture Wu Lan, or meet that old woman again, and figure out the ancient ruins, we might be able to find out what this is all about.
After discussing it, the two decided to conduct a further investigation.
Now that they have a route to the ancient ruins, Jiang Huan plans to start their investigation from the ancient site that Wu Lan once tried to enter, as it may hold the clues they need.
After making all the preparations, Jiang Huan and Ling Siye quietly set off under the cover of night, heading towards the ancient ruins that everyone in Danzhou knew about but no one dared to approach.
Jiang Huan only learned from the memory spheres of the two people who were captured that everyone in Danzhou knew about the existence of the ancient ruins.
At first, some people tried to get closer and see if there was any treasure, but each time they approached, they met a bad end, either dying a violent death or going insane.
From then on, the ancient ruins were considered a forbidden zone by the people of Danzhou.
It was Wu Lan's appearance that made the people of Danzhou realize that someone could go there safely.
Therefore, they were both afraid of Wu Lan, annoyed by her, jealous of her, and helpless about her.
Several hours later, Jiang Huan and Ling Siye arrived near the ancient ruins.
They discovered that this place was still some distance from the ancient ruins, but it was already surrounded by tall stone walls with electrified barbed wire on top and patrolling guards below.
Seeing that Jiang Huan hadn't moved, Ling Siye asked in confusion, "Huanhuan, what's wrong?"
"Wait a minute."
Jiang Huan used her divine sense to explore the surroundings and found that the stone wall, barbed wire, and guards were secondary defenses; the main defenses were the four corners of the ancient ruins.
The ancient ruins are roughly quadrilateral in shape, with magical artifacts at each of the four corners that form a magnetic shield. Anything that tries to break through the magnetic shield will have its spiritual power sealed off in an instant.
This seems to target not only ordinary people, but also cultivators.
So it seems that Wu Lan's ability to get in must be related to her ability to transform into a cloud of black mist and squeeze through any gap!
After thinking it over for a while, she told Ling Siye all her guesses.
After listening, Ling Siye frowned and summoned Coal Ball. "Coal Ball, try to see if you can sneak in."
Coal Ball only glanced at it before shaking his head.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Huan said, "It seems that if we want to get in, we have to be quiet and find an entrance that is not easily discovered."
"What if we take direct action?" Ling Siye asked.
Jiang Huan: "Doing this will attract attention, and once it attracts attention, we won't know what will happen. But to avoid unnecessary trouble, the best way is to find a way to sneak in."
"Let's go then!" Ling Siye nodded and stood up.
They then moved slowly along the stone wall, searching for a possible breakthrough.
Finally, Jiang Huan discovered a broken wall in a corner hidden by weeds. It was covered by dense vines, which seemed to have developed intelligence and had actually occupied the empty space.
The magnetic shield appears to cover the vines, but it actually has gaps.
Moreover, the guardians of this ancient ruin did not seem to have noticed this place.
When the vines saw someone approaching, they tried to attack with their vines.
Jiang Huan raised her hand, and a red vine appeared, directly entangling the tendrils and absorbing all the spiritual energy from them.
The moment the red vine completely absorbed the spiritual power of the vine, a gap appeared in the wall.
"Now!"
The two quickly passed through the broken wall and successfully entered the magnetic shield.
The moment they entered, the magnetic shield seemed to detect the gap and immediately covered it.
The breakthrough point for the magnetic shield has been completely changed.
Now that they've both gotten in, they can't find a way out!
"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it." Jiang Huan turned her gaze away from the gap. "Let's go!"
"Ah."
The two walked side by side toward the ancient ruins.
Under the moonlight, they saw an ancient building complex eroded by time, with stone pillars and statues scattered on the ground. It looked dilapidated, but in fact, it was telling the story of the place's former glory.
"Ah Ye, put this on." Jiang Huan raised her hand, and a beautiful, seven-colored feather robe appeared in front of Ling Siye.
"What is this?" Ling Siye asked in confusion.
"Phoenix Feather Robe, immune to all magical attacks."
"how about you?"
"Do you think I would lack such a defensive magic weapon?" Jiang Huan raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile in her eyes.
“That’s true.” Ling Siye nodded gently and put on the phoenix feather robe.
