Chapter 1057 The Forgotten Ruins

The boy is very similar to the boy who came to her dream even though she knows the boy is real but he was not supposed to be here. He should be an entity that existed outside the human world so how can he be here? it was even puzzling that a boy could exist in the era of Emperor Lei Yu and it seemed that the Emperor knew the boy well enough that he hung the boy's painting among the royal family.

"Are you sure you've seen this boy before?" Ming Yue Yin thinks Lory must be wrong as the boy might live probably hundreds if not thousands of years ago so it's impossible!

"Where did you see the boy?" Yang Xi Ying didn't doubt Lory but that means the boy might not human.

Lory paused for a moment then replied "In my dreams"

Tao Bing Wen sighed in relief "Then it's not real, maybe just a coincidence"

However, Ming Yue Yin and Yang Xi Ying did not think the same because Lory's dreams were never random there was always a reason behind all her dreams, and Girsha also believed that the identity of a boy was definitely not simple.

'

[What did the boy say in your dream?] Girsha's voice deepened.

Lory's brows furrowed as she tried to remember her dream then her eyes traced the painting in front of her saying: "He told me about finding Lazarus' real identity and he also told me to find him...he said that person is the key"

Lory's face became tense with emotion, "I thought the person he was referring to was Zhao Li Xin...but what if he meant someone else..." Lory took a step back and then turned his head to the giant painting of a man in a golden robe gallantly holding a red sword in a dignified posture. Unfortunately, the face in the picture is not clear but everyone could guess who the person in the painting is.

Everyone simultaneously followed Lory's gaze immediately they understood what Lory means Ming Yue Yin was stunned for a second then she mutter under her breath "Emperor Lei Yu?!"

Girsha had heard Lory talk about a key and a mysterious boy that give her a warning in her dreams, but he thought it was all about Zhao Li Xin or perhaps Lazarus never once did he think it had anything to do with Emperor Lei Yu.

How many secrets will be revealed to end all these intricate puzzles and what will be the outcome for them?

[Lory...] so many things went through his mind Girsha didn't know what to say.

'

Lory stared at the painting for a long moment the emotion in her eyes gradually cools down as she finally understood her role in the grand scheme "Emperor Lei Yu, Lazarus, that boy, Huo Long, Arthea…. my parents… it's all about them...they all planned all of this..."

Lory slowly closed his eyes and he understood that everything that happened in his life was interconnected and everything was planned, and all the loss, pain, and heartache he had to go through was preparation for this moment.

Lory slowly opened her eyes "Everything will end with me..."

Yang Xi Ying glanced at Lory with trembling eyes, "What will it end Lory?"

Lory smiled faintly but that only made Ming Yue Yin uneasy, "Auntie don't look at us like that!" Ming Yue Yin exclaimed angrily as her heart feels like it was pricked by a needle as if she would never see Lory again.

Tao Bing Wen was once again lost in the conversation nevertheless he felt the heavy atmosphere linger in the air as if someone was about to die, he could see yang Xi Ying's eyes rim with tears but she quickly turn around not letting anyone see her face still everyone could feel the sadness exudes from her.

Lory let out a long exhale and then patted Yang Xi Ying's shoulder "Don't cry, is not like I'm going to die" She coaxed Yang Xi Ying gently she knew Yang Xi Ying become more sensitive after she got pregnant "What I mean is…I will end whatever started all this connection between our world, that's all…besides, I still want to see my nephew" Lory chuckles lightly.

"Auntie is right, you should stop scaring yourself it's not good for your baby" Ming Yue Yin joined in comforting Yang Xi Ying but the truth is she also didn't believe her own words because her instincts kept screaming in her head that this would not end well.

Tao Bing Wen turned to Lory trying to find the anxiety hidden in her purplish eyes but what he saw was serenity as if Lory wasn't affected by the possibility of her losing her life.

At the same time, Lory felt Tao Bing Wen's gaze and their gazes collided for a moment then Lory blinked her eyes with a playful smile spread on her face as if to convince him not to worry about it. Tao Bing Wen blushed slightly then he lowered his gaze while scratching his nose with his finger with mixed feelings.

"Let's go, we need to find the sword first!" Lory breaks the heavy atmosphere with one clapped.

Everyone quickly calmed down, Lory didn't want to think about this uncertain possibility as there were still more secrets to reveal but her guts told her that everything would be answered once she found the Crimson lightning sword although she didn't know if it would bring good or bad ends still everything will become clear at last.

"You are right, Lao Min Na, and that demon might already waiting for us there therefore it would be dangerous if the scary uncle arrived there first and alone" Ming Yue Yin chimed in after calming down.

Yang Xi Ying quickly wiped away her tears and then said firmly "Then let's not waste any more time!"

Once they looked for another way out of the ruins then suddenly they felt the place they were standing shook violently like an earthquake but what they feared was that the volcano would erupt.

"What is going on!" Tao Bing Wen shrill in panic.

"Everyone, hold on to something!" Lory screams urgently.

"On what?!" Ming Yue Yin looks around her helplessly cause other than the boulder there's nothing else to hold on to.

"Lory!" Yang Xi Ying gave Lory a quick nervous glance.

Lory hastily hold Yang Xi Ying's arms not to let her fall then suddenly the ground beneath them started making cracking sounds a second later the ground underneath them crumbles into a giant sinkhole and they all fell into a dark hole like a rock pulled by the gravitation.

<strong>[LORY!!]</strong> Girsha saw them falling at high speed into a giant black hole, Girsha then quickly dive at high speed toward Lory.

In that dire situation, Lory immediately raised her hand soon after a transparent purple light engulfed Ming Yue Yin and others at the same time a huge rock fell on them, Ming Yue Yin hold Yang Xi Ying in her embrace while Tao Bing Wen could only scream at the top of his lungs and Lory didn't have time to protect herself other than making sure her friends will be okay, at that moment a white orb pierced through her chest then giant white wings appeared and covered him like a thick blanket while more giant stones fell on her as soon as everything turned black.

Elsewhere Li Mo Zhen, Yuan Shao, Tao Ji Fang, Yang Zhou, and a few people from the sword saint and Jiu Yun sect continued their search to find their lover and they finally found a mysterious sinkhole not far from the foot of Yi Shan mountain. threw a beacon into the hole after they were sure the hole was safe enough they began to descend the hole using a rope they set their feet into a cave as soon as they took out a luminescent pear to illuminate the cave.

They explored the cave until finally flabbergasted by a massive black iron gate that stood firmly with carvings of a giant dragon flying among the fiery flames, the carvings looked so realistic that it send goosebumps to everyone who saw it.

"Why is there an iron gate in a place like this?" Yang Zhou's jaw dropped wide at the sight of the magnificent gate.

"It seems we stumble into a ruined," said Li Mo Zhen.

"Then we should be careful, we don't know what's inside there" Yuan Shao took out his sword.

Tao Ji Fang's expression darkened as he worried about his only son, how could his weak and cowardly son survive this? Li Mo Zhen knew what Tao Ji Fang thinking cause he also felt the same however she had much comfort knowing Lory and Ming Yue Yin were there with his wife as long they were together nothing will happen to them.

"Master Tao, you don't have to worry about your son" Li Mo Zhen assure him gently "as long Empress ming and miss Luo were there, there's no bad thing happened to your son"

"But they falling from that high, I'm worried he will be hurt" Tao Ji Fang shakes his head dejectedly.

"Worry not, as long miss Lo…Miss Luo Ri Yi was there, she can heal your son without leaving any scratches" Yuan Shao add-in, this is also the reason he's not worried about Ming Yue Yin well being, heck, that cruel girl might have forgotten about him already.

"Is Madam Zhao a physician?" Yang Zhou didn't hide his surprise.

Yuan Shao didn't want to explain further so he just nods his head firmly "Yes, she is also even better than master Jin Hao the white dragon king" he lied thoroughly without blinking his eyes and Li Mo Zhen listen to him with a faint smile.

"Oh, no wonder" Tao Ji Fang rubbed his chin finally understanding why Zhao Li Xin doted on his wife so much.

"Let's push the gate!" Yuan Shao said, "Let's push the gate!" Yuan Shao gave the order while pushing the giant steel gate with his own hands.
