Chapter 376: The Truth of the Ancient City

Xiao Ai's words made Lu Heng slightly startled.

He subsequently came to a halt and gazed at the dilapidated walls and broken remnants with tightly shut doors and windows on either side.

The buildings within this city are all incredibly dilapidated, with not a single intact house in sight. Furthermore, every house shares a common feature - tightly closed doors and windows that conceal the interior.

Amidst the eerie gusts of cold wind, it evokes a sense of inexplicable horror.

And Xiao Ai's curious words also ignited Lu Heng's curiosity.

Indeed, all the houses on both sides of this street have tightly closed doors and windows. What kind of scene would one witness if they were to forcibly break in?

Furthermore, the situation within this city is peculiar. Once you depart from the street you are currently on and step into another street, you will inexplicably shift position to a different location within the city.

Then, if Lu Heng were to not take the main road but rather opt to smash through walls and doors, bulldozing his way forward, what would the outcome be?

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Heng's footsteps came to a halt.

He looked towards the nearest courtyard and said, "Then let's go inside and have a look."

Saying so, Lu Heng proceeded towards that house.

The tightly shut courtyard gate was covered in dark red moss, as if nourished by blood, inexplicably unsettling. As one approached, one could observe the silent squirming of this dark red moss, resembling the pulsating innards of a living creature.

Lu Heng refrained from touching it with his hand; instead, he elegantly flicked his sleeve, causing a gentle breeze to sweep over and delicately brush against the tightly shut gate adorned with the dark red moss.

Then, not a single thread moved.

With this casual flick of his, Lu Heng could effortlessly move even the heaviest boulders, yet why couldn't he budge this peculiar gate? Even the eerie moss clinging to the gate showed no signs of change, still slowly writhing in the gusts of chilling wind.

Xiao Ai whispered, "Let Xiao Ai handle it."

Saying so, Xiao Ai directly ignited her inner true energy, striking a palm towards the formidable gate before her.

Amidst a thunderous roar, the dark red moss attached to the gate exploded and scattered, with numerous dark red blood splatters simultaneously spurting out, colliding against an invisible barrier as they approached Lu Heng and Xiao Ai, before eventually cascading down to the ground.

After the moss on the door burst open, it revealed the tightly sealed entrance inside, which appeared to be an ordinary household door with no peculiarities.

However, despite Xiao Ai's palm possessing astonishing destructive power, capable of demolishing even a mountain, it still failed to shake this gate?

Since he couldn't enter the houses on both sides of the street for the time being, he had no intention of getting entangled.

After uncovering the truth of this city, he understood why he couldn't connect with You Yue through the Requiem Seal.

Lu Heng and the others find themselves in a transient state, as this city exists somewhere between the realms of illusion and reality, beyond the realms of the five elements. Consequently, they have temporarily lost connection with the world of reality.

They naturally cannot establish contact with people from the world of reality.

Upon the complete descent of this city, Lu Heng will be able to reconnect with You Yue.

Of course, by that time, this eerie and malevolent ancient city will also unveil its desolate and lifeless facade, unleashing all the concealed killing intent harbored within.

One can foresee that the Zhuxian Ancient City, at that time, will no longer remain as quiet as it is now.

Behind those doorways, it is unlikely that there will truly be emptiness without any creatures emerging.

The corpse of divine beings from ancient legends, wandering ghosts, murderous demons... those dreadful entities will truly manifest themselves before Lu Heng.

However, Lu Heng remains indifferent to these matters.

His sole purpose for stepping into this ancient city is to find the woman who bears the visage of Sister Yuanjun, and then engage in a meaningful conversation with her!

Upon the windy long street, Lu Heng proceeded towards the street corner, accompanied by Xiao Ai.

While on another street within the city, a woman walking hand in hand with two children, a boy and a girl, turned her head with a perplexed look and gazed back.

At the crossroads behind her, there should have been a man in flowing white robes catching up to her, but for some unknown reason, the Wolf God inexplicably vanished?

In the woman's heart, there was a slight sense of awe.

The sudden disappearance of the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain could it be that he had concealed himself in the shadows, preparing to lay hands on her?

However, as she slowly walked forward for a while, almost stepping out of the pre-set ambush area, she still couldn't catch a glimpse of the Wolf God emerging from the shadows.

With Wuyou and Wuyu siblings holding onto the woman's hands, her palms were drenched in perspiration.

She finds herself on the edge of an ambush circle.

If she were to continue walking forward and leave the ambush area, there would be no guarantee of her own survival.

However, if one were to remain stationary here, wouldn't it indicate that there truly is an ambush, and thus the Wolf God would be even less likely to emerge?
