Chapter 488 - Ancient City (1/2)

“Why, why do you have to keep one person by my side?”

These faint words caused the 12 people of Levitating Dark Fragrance to tremble. Qingluan quickly cupped her hands together and said, “I was just thinking that I would leave one of Levitating Dark Fragrance by your side. Once you run into danger, the rest of us will be able to catch up with you as soon as possible.”

Xiao Chen smiled gently and said, “I’m just asking. Let’s go.”

Along the way, the 12 people kept silent. Huangfu Xin’er did not say anything as well. After they left the Blue Water Altar for more than 10 kilometers, they gathered together to discuss the next destination.

Yi Tong said, “I wonder if you have noticed that there was a strange energy fluctuation on the way when we were chased by the Immortals’ League that day?”

Xiao Chen frowned. When he was chased that day, he was in a hurry. How could he notice this? He asked, “Brother Yi, what did you find?”

“Are you talking about the place that’s 250 kilometers west from here? There’s a mountain range with the terrain of the dragon vein there,” Gui Xian suddenly said.

Yi Tong smiled and said, “Senior Gui Xian is very attentive. That’s the place, but the source of power doesn’t seem to come from the mountains. It seems to be coming through the mountain range. That’s how the terrain of the dragon vein was formed after a long time.”

The rest of the company had a rough idea of what was going on. They said no more and headed straight for the place Yi Tong was talking about. This time, everyone had recovered from their injuries and regained their strength. Naturally, they were flying on their swords. In less than an hour, they would be able to travel 250 kilometers.

The crowd stepped on the flying swords and looked down. They saw a meandering mountain range, which was really like a dragon from ancient times. The place opposite the dragon head was in the direction of everyone. Xiao Chen could faintly feel that the dragon head seemed to have sent out an ‘unusual force’, but this did not seem to be an unusual force. Instead, it seemed more like a mutated spirit energy.

“Do you feel it?”

Xiao Chen looked at Qingluan and the others and asked. Qingluan frowned tightly. Ziyun’er held the Koo-chee in her arms and asked blankly, “What? It’s just an ordinary mountain range, isn’t it?”

Yang Qing and the others looked at each other with questions. Even though their cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, they could not sense any strange power at all. It was clearly just an ordinary mountain range with a terrain similar to that of a divine dragon. That was why it was called the Dragon Meridian Mountains.

In fact, there was really a force fluctuation here, but not everyone could feel it. The Gui Xian’s soul perception was extremely strong, so he could feel it. Xiao Chen, like him, had a strong soul perception ability, so he could also feel it, and so could Yi Tong.

So among the twenty over people here, only three of them could feel the power. Yi Tong looked at the endless mountains and said slowly, “The power seems like the power of the Earth Spiritual Meridian but it’s not. Let’s go. Let’s go through the Dragon Meridian Mountains and have a look.”

Immediately, they rode their swords to the south again. The Dragon Meridian Mountains below, one after another mountain, was as though boundless. Finally, after a quarter of an hour, they crossed the Dragon Meridian Mountains. But Xiao Chen could feel that the force had not disappeared yet, which was enough to show that the source of the force was not from the Dragon Meridian Mountains.

After moving for hundreds of miles, they suddenly saw dark clouds in front of them with purple lightning rolling in the clouds. The scene was terrifying. Xiao Chen immediately called everyone to stop, “Stop! Get down quickly!”

However, before he could finish his sentence, a bolt of purple lightning with a radius of thousands of feet suddenly came at them. Everyone’s face changed, and they immediately joined forces to support the defensive Barrier. With a loud boom, the Barrier supported by the twenty over people was broken in an instant. Everyone was shocked, their bodies were numb, and they quickly fell to the ground.

When they landed on the ground, everyone still felt scared. The purple lightning just now was comparable to the Heavenly Punishment. Even if a cultivator in the Apotheosis Realm was hit, his body and soul would be destroyed. “But why is this place full of thunder and clouds? It is too weird.”

Yang Qing and the others looked at each other in shock. The faces of the 12 people in the Levitating Dark Fragrance Under the Moon turned grave. Qingluan asked, “Lord, what should we do now?”

Xiao Chen looked to the front and saw that countless scorched soil, large rocks had fallen, and many trees were burnt. But since it used to have trees here, it meant that there were no thunderclouds in the past. This strange thundercloud should have only appeared recently, and it was very likely that it had been pulled by some kind of force.

“Be careful. When going through this place, put away all the flying sword weapons and other items.”

At the moment, everyone put away the flying sword and other metal objects before they carefully walked to the front. The Koo-chee monster lay in Ziyun’er’s arms, blinking its big eyes and did not dare to move. Everyone also walked separately. When they walked for 1.5 to 2.5 kilometers, they only saw that their surroundings were charred and there were flashes of purple lightning coming down from time to time. Each time the lightning fell, it was accompanied by booming thunders. The impact was very strong.

Everyone could feel that the air was vibrating, so they were careful. Although the lightning that fell on the ground was much weaker than the lightning in the sky, it also had a destructive force that could not be withstood by one or two people.

Finally, after walking for more than five kilometers, they gradually left the thunderclouds. The flowers and plants in front of them gradually flourished, but because of the thunderclouds nearby, there were no birds or beasts, so it looked dead silent. Everyone looked back and saw the black clouds and purple lightning rolling. At this moment, they still felt a little shocked. If a cultivator could use such a powerful magic spell, it would be amazing. Perhaps only a Genuine Immortal had this ability.
