"You've done very well," Liang Feifan affirmed after understanding the situation. "If we had fallen out with Ye Fan back then, the Liang family would likely be gone by now!"
However, the two of them fell into a slump again.
It was true that no one was competing with them for the development of the great cemetery now.
But the problem was that the Ten Great Sect Masters had all been driven out before. What was the point of the Royal Family's offerings, who were weaker than the Ten Great Sect Masters, going there?
Liang Feifan's cultivation level could be attempted, but his current condition absolutely did not allow it...
"Old Ancestor, perhaps I..." Liang Dekuai cautiously asked, "could go to Purple Cloud Sect in person?"
"It's best not to," Liang Feifan shook his head. "Your previous handling of Ye Fan was indeed very good, and the Blazing Sun Mountain Range can indeed be considered the Royal Family's greatest sincerity."
"But think about it, can these things enter the eyes of the powerful figure behind Ye Fan?"
"Asking Ye Fan for help might displease the powerful figure behind him."
"If we go to Purple Cloud Sect, it will also inevitably make people suspect that we are trying to use Ye Fan to play the emotional card!"
...
Liang Feifan meticulously analyzed a large number of reasons.
It had to be said that the older the ginger, the spicier it was.
Liang Feifan was clearly more thoughtful than Liang Dekuai.
Or rather...
Liang Feifan had been assimilated by Liang Dekuai very successfully...
"If that's the case, then when Ru Jing turns sixteen, won't that mean..." Liang Dekuai said with a worried expression, "Are we just going to wait for death?"
"According to your previous account, this Ye Fan does not seem to be a heartless person," Liang Feifan continued to analyze. "He should not stand idly by at that time."
"If he really doesn't care..."
At this point, Liang Feifan sighed.
"Perhaps this is the fate of our Liang family..."
Liang Feifan got up and slowly left.
"I'll go and try to break through my old injuries again. The rest is up to fate..."
Blazing Sun Mountain Range.
Purple Cloud Sect encampment.
With a flash of purple light, Zi Yu once again returned to her maiden form.
Normally, whenever Ye Fan left Immortal Jade Peak or went to sleep, she would sneak out.
Besides foraging in the demon beast forest, she spent most of her time secretly observing.
She observed the behavior and communication methods of the Purple Cloud Sect disciples, trying hard to integrate herself into the human world.
Wang Yang had been in a good mood recently.
Ever since the sect relocated, he was completely free.
No one cast strange glances at him anymore. Other disciples greeted him warmly as 'Senior Brother' or 'Junior Brother'.
All of this was thanks to the two magic treasures he had obtained at the old Purple Cloud Sect encampment.
Not only was his alchemy success rate much higher now, but the amount of pills produced each time had also greatly increased.
He was a bit tired from alchemy today and decided to go down the mountain to move around and relax.
Wang Yang stopped by a small river.
A young girl in purple sat by the river, resting her chin on her hand and watching the disciples passing by.
Wang Yang felt his heart beat faster.
At this moment, he seemed to see all the beauty in the world.
His feet moved uncontrollably, slowly walking towards the young girl.
"Hello," Zi Yu greeted politely as Wang Yang approached.
"H-hello..." Wang Yang was a little flustered. He looked at the Purple Cloud Sect robe Zi Yun was wearing and asked, "Junior Sister, you... you seem a little unfamiliar. Are you... are you new..."
Although Purple Cloud Sect was not large, it had over two to three hundred thousand disciples.
Let alone Wang Yang, even the sect leader Zi Yun couldn't recognize all of them.
"Yes, I'm new," Zi Yun nodded with a smile.
Before, she had noticed that not all Purple Cloud Sect disciples knew each other, so she had shifted from secret observation to open observation.
These disciples usually moved in fixed small groups. They didn't think much of seeing unfamiliar disciples.
At most, some male disciples were stunned by Zi Yu's beauty and would hide in the shadows to observe her secretly...
"H-hello, I'm Wang Yang from Sunset Peak..."
"Hello, my name is Zi Yu."
...
The two of them chatted aimlessly.
Zi Yu suddenly found it very interesting.
Previously, this guy was scared to death every time he saw her. She didn't expect him to be so bold this time.
Moreover, this person looked silly and was so much fun.
As for Wang Yang...
If he knew that the young girl in front of him was the nightmare that haunted him, his expression would surely be spectacular...
"Um, I, I, I have something to do, so I'll, I'll, I'll take my leave..."
After chatting for a few sentences, Wang Yang prepared to leave.
He was afraid he would be so nervous that he would suffocate if he stayed any longer.
"Right, I, I, I want to tell you something." Before leaving, Wang Yang said in a low voice, "There are, there are, there are monsters in our sect. You should try not to, not to, walk around alone."
"Mmm-hmm," Zi Yu nodded obediently. "I understand, thank you, Senior Brother."
Zi Yu thought to herself, the monster you're talking about is right in front of you, hehe...
After leaving the riverside, Wang Yang's previous confident demeanor returned.
I've made up my mind!
No matter how dangerous it is, I will find that monster!
I absolutely cannot let it harm Junior Sister Zi Yu!
From now on, Junior Sister Zi Yu will be protected by me, Wang Yang!
Outside the Imperial City.
Ye Fan and Liang Ru Jing were leisurely cruising in her small flying boat, Xia Ji Ba.
They had spent most of their time wandering near the Imperial City before, and now they planned to go elsewhere.
[Energy dungeon detected, teleportation channel preparing.]
The system spoke without warning.
The next moment.
Ye Fan and Liang Ru Jing felt a blur before their eyes, and they, along with the flying boat, disappeared.
On the other side.
A luxurious small flying boat was moving at a leisurely pace.
The exterior of the flying boat was made entirely of top-grade materials, with a minimum of sixth-tier quality!
The decorations were incredibly lavish, exuding an aura of extreme wealth everywhere!
A young man in his early twenties stood on the deck, holding a cup of wine and enjoying the surrounding scenery.
His attire looked even more luxurious than the flying boat, making people instinctively want to know if he needed any more hangers-on.
"The customs and traditions of this Great Liang Kingdom are completely different from our homeland," the young man sighed. "It truly has a unique flavor."
"Your Highness is absolutely correct!" the guard beside him quickly agreed.
"Oh?" a guard exclaimed. "Your Highness, there's an unusual surge of true energy ahead!"
"Let's go take a look," the young man's eyes immediately lit up.
"As you command," the guard replied and flew down towards the ground.
After a while, the guard sent back a message.
"Your Highness, there's an entrance to an ancient ruin here. It looks like it hasn't been developed!"
The young man immediately became interested and flew down with the remaining three guards.
"These characters are mostly lost ancient scripts."
When they arrived, the previous guard pointed to the murals and characters on both sides of the entrance tunnel and indicated,
"According to my subordinates' calculations, it's at least two to three hundred thousand years old."
"Then what are we waiting for?" The young man was instantly intrigued. "Let's go in and take a look."
"Um... Your Highness," the three guards said with some difficulty. "Ruins this ancient are bound to be dangerous. Why don't we go back and find some people first..."
They knew their prince's temperament all too well.
He was prone to seeking death!
Extremely prone to seeking death!
If it weren't for his family's immense wealth and his brother being the emperor, he would have been beaten to death countless times!
Let alone others, even they themselves often couldn't resist the urge to smack him...
It was one thing to mess around recklessly in the past.
But a ruin from two to three hundred thousand years ago, messing around recklessly could lead to death!
Even they themselves couldn't guarantee they could retreat unscathed, let alone bring this burden along...
Now, they only had two options before them.
Either go in and seek death.
Or don't go in and wait for death...
Bound by his status, they ultimately had no choice but to lead the young man in...
One guard took the lead, while the remaining three protected the young man in a triangular formation.
At the end of the passage was a tomb chamber one hundred zhang in circumference, with hundreds of coffins densely packed within.
