Chapter 359 Under Desolation
As for Zi Yan's strength, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran are relieved. Regarding the terrifying power displayed by her unknown monster, let alone the same level. Dou Huang, even a strong Dou Zong had to consider whether to fight her.
In addition, Zi Yan is not stupid. She understands the principle of life of running away if you can't fight. If she really feels that she can't handle the situation, even Douzong will not be able to keep her.
Given the innate bloodline advantage of Warcraft, Zi Yan has become like this without even practicing seriously, so Xiao Yan will inevitably feel a little jealous.
Although his physical strength is stronger than that of ordinary Dou Huang, compared with a magical beast like Zi Yan, it is naturally unnecessary. Why bother yourself?
However, they still speeded up. Zi Yan helped them hold back these strange beasts, so naturally they had to be worthy of her efforts, especially Nalan Yanran.
But fortunately, Zi Yan did an excellent job in covering Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran and attracting their attention. After tearing apart the few lone evil beasts, the two Then his feet landed on the top of the desolate Wujian Mountain.
"Are we here?"
Xiao Yan's hand has subconsciously touched the handle of the ruler on his back, and his tone is full of questions. It is obvious that coming here does not mean that he is here. It's absolutely safe.
“I’m not so sure…”
Nalan Yanran was a little embarrassed. She had obviously vowed to find Wujian Mountain, but she never thought that something like this would happen just after arriving at Wujian Mountain, which made her a little less confident.
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them looked at everything in front of them. Although they had already seen the desolate scene on Wujian Mountain when they came, when they were there, what they saw was The impact of a desolate ruin is completely different.
Green vines covered the ruins of the collapsed palace. After the collapse, the palace suffered serious erosion under the sun and rain for countless years. Many of the fallen ruins have long been withered. The mountains and forests are integrated into one.
Just like the doomsday scene where traces of human habitation are gradually submerged by the force of nature, after all destruction, everything will return to peace. Prosperity and loneliness, death and prosperity, are originally in the long river of time. Two sides of a coin that keeps spinning.
Xiao Yan looked at Nalan Yanran and said, "Is there anything that can be sensed now?"
After Nalan Yanran heard this, she closed her eyes silently and tried to run her own skills. However, the strange thing was that after they set foot on Wujian Mountain, they were very strongly sensed from a place thirty miles away. Instead, everything changed. She had calmed down, and her state of mind was like water, but there were no more ripples.
"No... maybe it's because for me, all the sword intent here is too full."
Nalan Yanran shook her head gently.
"Then we have to look for it slowly one by one, right?"
Xiao Yan glanced at the ruins that had long been integrated with the mountains and forests in front of him, but suddenly he felt a sense of uncertainty about where to start. Tricky feeling.
"Don't worry about those ordinary palaces for the time being. They are most likely in the main palace on the top of the mountain."
Nalan Yanran shook her head. She forgot about Zi Yan before she turned around. I don’t know how much time it will take to search everywhere, and I don’t know if there are any evil beasts wandering in the Swordless Mountain.
"Yes, that's true."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran walked along the collapsed ruins towards the top of Wanjian Mountain.
“Speaking of which, it seems that this place was once prosperous.”
Xiao Yan looked at the ruins on both sides and couldn't help but say.
"That's true..."
Xiao Yan's words reminded Nalan Yanran that those clear eyes reflected the greenery in front of her, which she had subconsciously taken for granted. Doubts that had been ignored also came to mind.
"It doesn't look like a forgotten place, but more like... something unexpected happened."
Nalan Yanran guessed: "It's strange to say Why Ancestor Yun Potian gave up Zhongzhou, but chose to come to the Northwest Continent to take root and establish the Yunlan Sect, is a matter full of mystery in itself. "
"You people in the Yunlan Sect don't know what's going on?"
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and couldn't help but ask.
Nalan Yanran shook her head and replied: "We don't know either. For us descendants, Patriarch Yunpotian is just the person who established the Yunlan Sect, that's all. As for us descendants, In fact, we don’t know anything about the rest. What kind of person was our ancestor? Why did he come to the Northwest Continent? Apart from establishing the Yunlan Sect, what did we, the descendants, do?”
"Ancestor who knows nothing?" Xiao Yan sighed subconsciously. Speaking of it, it seemed that the Xiao family was like this too.
All I knew was that my ancestors seemed to be very powerful, and that was all. At the beginning, Miss Wan had said that she would make it clear when she got to Zhongzhou, but she didn't expect that Miss Wan would just leave as soon as she said so.
Of course, Miss Wan cannot be blamed for this, but naturally this matter will be settled later.
After crossing the ruins, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran also arrived at the highest point of Wujian Mountain. The originally towering hall had already collapsed into barren ruins. Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran Nalan Yanran tried to find if there was any entrance or cracks in the ruins, but even after walking around, she still couldn't find the entrance.
Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then a ball of fighting spirit ignited by the strange fire ignited in his hand, and he looked at Nalan Yanran.
After all, she can be considered a descendant of the original owner of Wujian Mountain. Although this place has long become a desert, Xiao Yan naturally does not want to be the one who breaks the peace here.
Xiao Yan was naturally happy to be able to help Nalan Yanran, but since there was nothing necessary to do, it was naturally better to avoid it as much as possible.
"No."
Nalan Yanran shook her head gently, and Xiao Yan then put away the wisp of flame in his palm, and was about to ask Nalan Yanran if If you can't get in, what should you do next?
Before he could ask, Nalan Yanran raised her hand and struck a sword to cut a huge gap in the collapsed ruins in front of her, which was large enough for two people to pass through.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, and he was a little surprised. He originally thought that Nalan Yanran asked him to stop because he didn't want to see the ruins of his ancestors being disturbed, but in the end, she did it herself even more neatly than him. .
Silently putting away her sword, Nalan Yanran subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yan, who had a strange look on his face, and couldn't help but explain: "It's not convenient for me to take action, so shouldn't I let you take action for me? I feel disrespectful, so I It doesn’t matter whoever makes the move. In this case, there is no need for you to get involved. I am here to find the inheritance from my ancestors, so it is naturally better for me to bear the cost myself.”
“ Then I don’t think you need to think so much.”
Xiao Yan shook his head and said.
Nalan Yanran was noncommittal, and she didn't care how this problem needed to be solved in the end. Anyway, it had already been done, and it was useless no matter how much she said.
Following the crack that Nalan Yanran had just slashed with his sword, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran were able to enter the interior of this ruin. It was strange to say that it was clearly a desolate place in front of them. , ruins covered with ivy, but there is an extraordinarily mysterious feeling. There is a mysterious layout between the collapsed stone pillars and ivy, filling the entire space under the ruins.
"Could it be...a formation?"
Xiao Yan subconsciously picked up one of the stones, and then couldn't help but look around.
"There are indeed some signs of formations in these ruins, which seem to be very similar to the Yunlan Sect's current protective sect formation, the Cloud Mist Covering the Sun Formation."
Nalan Yanran hastily said Glancing at the ruins in front of her, she already had corresponding guesses in her mind. After all, when she was in the Yunlan Sect, she was occasionally taught how to command and manipulate the Yunyan Sun-covering Formation. Although she was not so familiar with the formation. It was clear, but she didn't know Yunlan Sect's own formations or had no impression of them.
“But I remember, isn’t your Yunyan Sun Formation a trapping formation and a killing formation? Is it possible that someone is trapped here?”
Xiao Yan's answer made Nalan Yanran stunned. Although she was astonished, she could not help but be a little doubtful. She just followed the control method of the Yunyan Sun Formation and walked to the northeast corner of the natural formation in the ruins, and then entered the due north corner, seeming to want to To establish some kind of connection with the natural formation here.
But before Xiao Yan could issue a warning, Nalan Yanran suddenly opened her eyes wide, and then there was a violent vibration under her feet, which shocked both of them.
Subsequently, a ray of black energy immediately broke through the floor in the center of the formation and rushed straight towards Nalan Yan.
Nalan Yanran, who had already expected it, suddenly reacted and held her hand The long sword came out of the body, and the sharp sword intent poured down like a torrential rain, and it actually forced back the black energy that was heading straight towards her.
The black energy immediately flinched after hitting Nalan Yanran's sword intent. Logically speaking, the Dou Huang might have been caught off guard, but Nalan Yanran was able to resolve it so lightly. Even Xiao Yan They were all a little stunned and couldn't react in time.
Nalan Yanran was glad that this was really the place where her ancestors were left, and even in the desolation that had stayed there for who knows how many years, there was still such inexhaustible sword power.
The characteristics of their Yunlan Sect's skills are different from those of the outside world. Even if they lack fighting spirit but have abundant sword intent, they can still launch a blow that far exceeds the limit of their abilities, and even return a blow after one blow. One blow, in a place like Wujian Mountain where the sword power is so strong that it explodes, even Douzong would not want to mess with Nalan Yanran casually.
Whether it can be killed or not is debatable, but it will definitely be very uncomfortable if it is uncomfortable.
