Chapter 1682: Music

Nan Yiyi suddenly said, “Why don’t we invite Uncle Luo Yan over?”

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Nan Yuxing said hesitantly, “This… I’m afraid it’s not appropriate, right? Uncle Luo Yan has always been focused on cultivation and has never interfered in the family’s matters. Besides, Father’s intention this time is to train you more. Only when you personally take that thing back can you obtain the recognition of the family. If you invite Uncle Luo Yan… When we go back, there will definitely be some people secretly muttering…”

“Then, do we have any other ideas now?” Nan Yiyi was also filled with anger, and her attitude became increasingly impatient. I didn’t want to come on this trip in the first place. Now, I have suffered so much! Actually, it’s just a matter that my father can resolve by sending a few more people over. Why did he have to go through so much trouble?

“Do we have to wait for something to happen before we stop?”

“Second Missy, these words are inauspicious! You can’t say them casually.” Elder Bai Tong hurriedly said, “Everything will definitely go smoothly with you and the Eldest Young Master.”

Nan Yiyi turned her face away and sneered in her heart. Now that things have come to this, how could he say that it has gone smoothly? Whether we can return safely is a big problem!

Nan Yuxing’s expression was tense as he hesitated for a long time.

Actually, he also knew that the current situation was almost a dead end. If they didn’t find someone, they would probably not be able to complete the mission and return.

However, inviting Uncle Luo Yan over… was a little inappropriate…

“Big Brother, Uncle Luo Yan has always doted on me the most. I’m inviting him to save me, not to help find that thing. Can’t I do that?”

Nan Yiyi’s words finally made Nan Yuxing relax. “Okay!”

…

It was already late at night.

In the wilderness, it was dark and terrifyingly quiet. Only the wind kept blowing past her ears, bringing a hint of coolness.

Chu Liuyue finally stopped. She glanced back first.

It was quiet and uninhabited.

Those annoying shadows were finally gone.

I don’t know what Nan Yuxing and the others are thinking. They seem to be stuck to us along the way. At first, Chu Liuyue thought she was imagining things. Then, she realized that the quartet was indeed tailing them.

Even though they were already very careful, with so many stones on her, Chu Liuyue could sense her surroundings very well. How could she not notice? However, she wanted to find her ancestor first, so she couldn’t be bothered with them.

Fortunately, the time and place were right. With some tricks, she successfully shook them off.

Finally, there is peace in my ears. She gently exhaled, retracted her gaze, and looked ahead.

At this moment, they were only a thousand feet away from the wall.

Standing here, she could already see the rough appearance of the wall—it was serious, dignified, ancient, and bloody!

After taking a look, these words instantly appeared in her mind.

Huge black stone bricks were piled up neatly. Although the wall had been eroded by time and was mottled, it was still not difficult to see the grandeur of the past.

The wall was so high that Chu Liuyue could barely see the top when she looked up. At a glance, she almost had the illusion that it was connected to the sky.

Moreover, the wall spread left and right—it was also a long road with no end in sight.

Standing there, Chu Liuyue was as insignificant as an ant.

“Why is there such a wall in this God-Killing Tumulus?” Chu Liuyue muttered softly and frowned. “Besides, this place is filled with such a rich murderous aura…”

It was almost the most terrifying place since she entered the God-Killing Tumulus!

Standing so far away, she could feel the shocking murderous aura coming at her, almost cutting her apart!

“This wall was left behind during that shocking battle back then.” Rong Xiu suddenly spoke. His voice was cold and calm as if he were telling a distant story from a yellowed ancient book, with a hint of emptiness.

Chu Liuyue turned around. “You mean… this wall has existed since then?”

Rong Xiu nodded. Seeing that her eyes were filled with curiosity, a faint smile appeared on his thin lips. “It’s rumored that back then, both sides didn’t want to fight to the death, so they agreed to use this as a boundary to divide and rule. Unfortunately, a battle still broke out later on. The location of this wall became an extremely famous place for fighting to the death back then.”

“I see…” Chu Liuyue nodded in understanding. No wonder this wall looks so imposing and is filled with an extremely strong murderous aura. So it really is related to the battle back then.

Speaking of this, she was even more curious. “To be able to attract so many experts to gather here and die consecutively… Is it really because of a book?”

Rong Xiu looked down slightly. “It’s normal for humans to die for money and birds to die for food.”

Chu Liuyue stroked her chin. “Then, who won in the end? Who got the book?”

Rong Xiu shook his head. “I heard that during the event, both sides suffered shocking casualties, but it became an eternal secret who obtained that thing in the end.”

Chu Liuyue felt a little regretful. However, this happened tens of thousands of years ago after all. It is indeed impossible for future generations to know.

She gathered her thoughts and flipped her wrist to take out the Long Yuan Sword.

Although she no longer used the Long Yuan Sword much, her ancestor’s soul had been stored here for a thousand years and had long left his aura. Now, it was convenient for her to use it for tracking.

She held her breath and focused as she carefully observed her surroundings.

Nothing.

She was not discouraged. As she walked forward, she kept trying to find traces of Shangguan Jing.

The God-Killing Tumulus was so big that it was indeed not easy to find someone. Even if Shangguan Jing had seen this wall and was walking over, he might not be able to rush to the same place at the same time as them.

A moment later, Chu Liuyue released the stones from her Cosmic Ring.

The stones rolled around.

They were, after all, things that had existed here for tens of thousands of years. With them, she could undoubtedly expand her perception range again.

After a while, a low string sound suddenly entered his ears!

Shocked, she instinctively looked up. This sound seems to be coming from that wall!
