Xiao Qianhan and the others arrived at the edge of the desert in less than a day's time.
The scene of the desert before his eyes caused the light in Xiao Qianhan's eyes to sink slightly.
When she and Long Yu had appeared here earlier, although the desert was full of danger, it was a quiet place with only the breeze blowing. At this moment, the deepest part of the desert was covered in an unfathomable darkness. Yellow sand that covered the sky and blotted out the sun raged, and a violent gale rose!
As for her perception of the danger she was in, it had also deepened. Clearly, something had happened inside.
Time was of the essence, and they immediately set out, speeding into the depths of the desert.
After walking for another half a day, everyone had already entered deep into the desert. However, other than a stretch of yellow sand filling the sky, there wasn't a second sight, much less a Holy Land.
Xiao Qianhan stood still, and carefully looked at her surroundings. She could feel that the sense of danger was getting closer. However, on the surface, nothing was discovered.
"Miss Xiao, I can faintly sense that the aura of the Sacred Grounds is in front of us." With that, he pointed to the center of the sandstorm.
The area was covered by a thick layer of sand, and nothing could be seen.
Xiao Qianhan also looked over with a heavy gaze, and said with a serious tone: "The danger level there far surpasses here. We can only bring a portion of people with us. Those who are injured should stay behind to protect them. " The meaning in her words, was that she was talking about Baili Ying.
Baili Ying was severely injured by one of Zhao Family Patriarch's strikes, and she was crippled for life. If he entered that place recklessly, she might not even have the time to pay attention to him if he was in danger.
This time, Patriarch Baili was silent. He did not even dare to look at Xiao Qianhan.
Xiao Qianhan frowned, but just as she was about to speak, she was carried over.
"Elder sister, this has nothing to do with the Patriarch. Ying Er was the most talented in the Baili Family and had the most complete impression of the Sacred Grounds. With Ying Er here, they would be able to find the Sacred Grounds even more smoothly. If Ying Er was not here, not only would the uncles be injured, they might also not be able to find the Sacred Grounds and have wasted their time here. "
Hearing this, Xiao Qianhan's heart softened. She gently looked at Baili Ying and paused for a moment before saying: "Alright, then let's go together."
Baili Ying was so young, yet she had such a heavy responsibility on her shoulders. It was truly difficult for him. Since he was destined to join, she would be the one to protect the path ahead.
After that, she got someone to tie a few straps on her body, and then she carried Baili Ying on her back, and used the straps to tie him up.
The sandstorm was too strong, and Baili Ying was already heavily injured, which was why she was unable to move since she had already started to recover.
With her care, at least he wouldn't be hurt by the sandstorm.
"Thank you big sister," Baili Ying said in a childish voice as he sincerely looked at Xiao Qianhan with her big eyes, "This big sister has helped Ying Er again, but this Ying Er has always been unable to help big sister."
Xiao Qianhan smiled and rubbed Baili Ying's head, "Ying Er is the strongest. We will need to rely on Ying Er to find the Sacred Grounds later. "
Baili Ying lowered her head in embarrassment, "Ying Er will definitely find her."
Xiao Qianhan nodded her head and led the rest of the people to continue advancing towards the center of the sandstorm.
The sandstorm here was very strange. It was completely different from the one outside. Even using spiritual energy to protect it had no effect. The sand seemed to be able to penetrate the spiritual power and mercilessly beat up everyone, causing them to feel intense pain.
In desperation, Xiao Qianhan could only move Baili Ying to the front and try her best to protect him.
The others tried their best to protect themselves.
After continuing on for another four hours, the scenery in front of him suddenly became clear and bright. Although there was still no sunlight, there were no more sandstorms here.
Behind them, the endless sandstorm continued, to the point where one could clearly feel its might just by stretching their hands out behind them.
There was an invisible barrier there that prevented the sandstorm from flying in even a grain of sand.
In front of them, there was a huge area surrounded by those giant walls. This area was much larger than the Heavenly Law Congress's venue. If he didn't see the sandstorm in the distance, he would have suspected that he had already escaped, and not at the center of the sandstorm.
"Ying Er remembers this place." Baili Ying looked at her surroundings, her eyes lit up, and said.
Immediately, all the people from the Baili family cast their gazes over. To them, Baili Ying was the hope to find the Sacred Grounds.
Xiao Qianhan also looked over and asked softly: "There's no rush, just say it slowly."
Baili Ying nodded seriously, and then looked inside, her small hand pointing in a direction, "Go in that direction. This is roughly a day's journey away from the Sacred Grounds. "
A day's journey? Almost everyone's heart was moved, including Xiao Qianhan's.
It would take no more than four to four hours to get to the other end of the barrier. One day? Then where to?
However, Xiao Qianhan didn't have any doubts, and was the first one to walk towards the direction that Baili Ying had pointed to.
Soon after, Long Yu and Yuan Shu followed along, followed by the people from the Baili Family.
After two hours, Baili Ying made everyone stop. This was because the road ahead of them was already within the boundaries of the Holy Land. The formations here were similar to the Confusion Formation. One had to follow a certain set of footwork to be able to enter.
So, everyone lined up and Xiao Qianhan walked in front, following Baili Ying's orders.
Xiao Qianhan had just taken the first step according to Baili Ying's instructions, and the scene in front of him immediately changed. The yellow sand that filled the air all disappeared, leaving only a lush green. In the depths ahead, there was a blurry shadow that looked like an inverted pyramid.
"Elder sister, that is the Sacred Ground! We really found the Sacred Grounds! " Baili Ying's young and tender voice sounded, revealing some excitement within.
Xiao Qianhan nodded, but a dark light flashed in the depths of her eyes. On the way here, she had a feeling that someone had been here before. However, she didn't mention it to anyone. She just wanted everyone to be on high alert.
After that, she followed Baili Ying's instructions and walked for more than a thousand steps before finally understanding why Baili Ying had said that there was still a day left to go. The steps inside the formation were too complicated. Not only were there turns everywhere, there were even many paths in the opposite direction. After a thousand steps, she had only advanced a few meters.
After walking for an entire day in disdain, everyone finally arrived at the bottom of the inverted pyramid.
Looking at that inverted pyramid from afar, it just felt very magical. Only when he reached the front did he realize how huge the inverted pyramid was. Everyone stood under the inverted pyramid, and even if they looked up, they wouldn't be able to see the entire pyramid in one glance.
Such a colossus not only stood upside down, but was also suspended in the air!
