C54 (1/2)

Han Yan could not help but be startled when she saw the enormous jade wall in front of him. She muttered, ”This is …”

The Nine-clawed Dragon Cat was also stunned. It scratched its head, then quickly left Han Yan's embrace and ran towards the jade wall. Then, something unbelievable happened. The dragon cat actually went into the jade wall and disappeared. Then, ripples that were like water rippled on the jade wall, and with a flash, the entire jade wall turned into a stone wall. At the same time, a huge suction force came from the ground, causing his legs to feel as if they were filled with lead, making it difficult for him to move an inch.

Han Yan's eyes sparkled. Everything in front of him was beyond his imagination. Even now, she still had not figured out what exactly happened. Looking at the stone wall in front of him, Han Yan pondered for a moment. Previously, when she held the Nine-Headed Dragon Cat, the surrounding array formation was not affected at all. Once the Dragon Cat left, the jade wall would turn into a stone wall.

The more he thought about it, the more Han felt that it was possible. But now that the dragon cat was gone forever, how could he verify it?

At this moment, ripples appeared on the wall in front of him. The Nine-clawed Dragon Cat ran out, leaped up, and landed in Han Yan's arms.

Han Yan opened her arms and hugged the dragon and cat. ”Is this array related to you?”

The Nine-clawed dragon cat nodded, shook its head, then pointed at the stone wall with its fluffy little claws, indicating for Han Yan to go in.

Han Yan hesitated for a moment, then started to walk towards the stone wall. Just as his feet touched the stone wall, a wave of spiritual energy emanated from within and landed on his feet. Subsequently, the wave of spirit energy spread throughout his body and he smoothly entered it. Inside the stone wall was a completely different world. This was a very large cave that could not be seen anywhere. She didn't know what kind of cultivator would open such a large cave here.

The Immortal's cave was huge, almost like a square, but it was so huge that it was devoid of anything.

Han Yan spread out her spiritual sense and felt everything in the cave. In the end, she was quite disappointed, there was nothing that a cultivator could cultivate here. Just as he was walking deeper into the cave, he suddenly felt a faint spiritual energy fluctuation coming from behind him. He suddenly turned around and looked behind him. What appeared in front of him was a huge jade wall, and this jade wall was the same one she had seen before.

”An illusory magic array?” Han Yan frowned and fell into deep thought again. Since what she saw just now was real, this must be an illusory magic array. The cultivators who set up the spell were afraid that others might find out, so they must have set up some sort of spell here. But why was the Wordless Jade Wall before him covered by an array formation? Could it be that there was some sort of mystery behind it?

The imperial palace of the Ming Empire.

Zhu Wenyu was sitting on the dragon throne, his face was full of anxiety. Suddenly, he stood up and asked the door at the side of the hall: ”Third Uncle, is there any news about the ancestor?”

From the side door, Zhu Hong walked out. He clasped his hands and said, ”Your Majesty has already sent people to investigate.”

Zhu Wenyu's expression was solemn as he slowly said, ”I don't know if Han Yan is dead or not, but that group of trash from the Orthodoxy can't even catch a single person. They still want our ancestor to personally act.”

Zhu Hong was also a little worried. After all, Zhu Yunhe had left for a month, yet there was not a single news.

However, he wasn't worried at the moment. Zhu Hong said, ”Your majesty, the Ancestor will definitely succeed in his mission. He may have spent more time chasing that kid.”

”I hope so.” Zhu Wen Yu's eyelids jumped, he had a bad premonition.

At this time, a cultivator hurriedly ran in. Because he ran too fast, his feet slipped and he fell right in front of Zhu Wen Yu. Zhu Wen Yu's face sank and said angrily: ”What are you panicking for, what happened?” He suddenly bent his body and picked up that Royal Cultivator.

The forehead of the imperial cultivator was covered in sweat as he said with a trembling voice, ”Th-Your Majesty, something terrible happened! Ancestor he …”

Zhu Wen Yu and Zhu Hong's expressions both changed. The latter walked to his side and said with a serious expression: ”Quickly tell me, what happened to our ancestor?”

The imperial cultivator trembled as he said, ”Ancestor, he, he, he's transformed into …”

In the world of cultivation, the word 'Ascension' meant death.

These words were like a thunder from a clear sky. The uncle and nephew duo's bodies trembled and their minds went blank.

Zhu Wenyu grabbed the Royal Cultivator's hand and released it. The latter fell to the ground with a 'pa' sound, but did not dare to stand up.

The silence in the throne room was so quiet that even a drop of water could be heard.

After a long while, Zhu Wenyu finally came back to his senses, he pointed at the Royal Cultivator and said: ”Speak, how did the Ancestor die?”

The royal family cultivator cried out, ”We sent people to search the entire empire but we couldn't find our ancestors. Later on, they heard that a month ago, the seven mountain ranges in the northern part of the empire shook as if an earthquake had struck, causing the entire earth to tremble. ”I then brought some people to search, and eventually found half of the ancestor's corpse in an empty area …”

Zhu Wen Yu's eyes were blazing as he said angrily: ”Do you know who did it?”
