C228 Mysterious old man

Ye Dongfeng consoled Xiao Ya with a soft voice before shifting her gaze back to the nine stone pillars above the plaza.

Xiao Ya had always been sensitive, but now she had such a reaction, which showed that there was definitely something abnormal in the plaza.

In this huge plaza, the only ones that could be considered abnormal were the nine strange stone pillars.

These nine stone pillars were completely black in color. The engravings of wild beasts on the stone pillars were vivid and lifelike, even from afar.

However, from these stone pillars, I can faintly feel a vast and desolate wasteland, there isn't anything to be afraid of!

After staring for a while, Ye Dongfeng was still unable to detect anything abnormal on the stone pillar, and wanted to take a step forward to take a closer look.

Young lad, this is the famous Blue Soul Pillar of North Cang Empire, have you not heard of it before?

Just as Ye Dongfeng was about to raise his foot, an aged voice suddenly came from behind.

Ye Dongfeng's expression changed, when did someone come close behind him?

Although he had been wholeheartedly observing the stone column, it was impossible for ordinary people to get close to him so easily without attracting his attention. It could only mean that this person was not ordinary.

Ye Dongfeng immediately turned around vigilantly, only to see a white bearded man with wrinkles all over his face and a Old Man standing a few steps behind him, looking at the stone pillar with misty eyes.

Old Man's clothes were tattered, just by looking at his appearance, he looked like an old beggar, but Ye Dongfeng was not confused by his dressing.

Does senior know the origin of these stone pillars?

He carefully pulled Xiao Ya closer to him, then asked the pair of elderly men who had suddenly appeared with an amiable expression.

Before he understood the other party's intentions, Ye Dongfeng would not easily provoke him.

Haha, this young lady, you can also feel the frightening strength contained within this stone pillar?

Old Man did not directly answer Ye Dongfeng's question. Instead, he turned his head to look at Xiao Ya and asked while laughing.

Was it a terrifying power? I don't know, I just think this place is scary...

Xiao Ya's body leaned against Ye Dongfeng's body, and said a little timidly. For some reason, after seeing this Old Man, she didn't seem to be as afraid as before.

Could it be that this so-called 'Ashen Soul Pillar' was really hiding something that he did not sense?

Ye Dongfeng frowned at the side. He had clearly heard the word Old Man had spoken earlier.

This thing was called the Blue Soul Pillar and it had always been a national object controlled by the North Cang Empire. It was said that the statues on the pillar covered all the wild beasts on the continent.

It was even rumored that this stone pillar contained the luck of a nation with North Cang Empire. As long as the stone pillar did not fall, the North Cang Empire would continue to prosper. Old Man looked at Ye Dongfeng and said with a slight smile.

National destiny? Ye Dongfeng never thought that he would hear such a mythical thing from the mouth of the Old Man. For cultivators, he had never believed in fate, the only thing he believed in was his own two hands.

Furthermore, although these nine stone pillars looked a little special, Ye Dongfeng still did not believe that they had something to do with destiny.

Yes, no one knew where these nine stone pillars came from, or why people built them. They only knew that from the day North Cang Empire existed, the stone pillars would be erected here, never to fall for ten thousand years.

Old Man nodded his head and continued to speak: Some people believed this, but there were also people who did not believe it.

Can't hurt him in the slightest?

Hearing that, Ye Dongfeng became interested, the sword could not be broken, the axe could not be broken, and was even linked to the so called National Fate, the stone pillar was truly filled with mystery.

However, old mister, why did you say earlier that this stone pillar contains a terrifying power? Could it be that luck could also hurt people?

After muttering to himself for a moment, Ye Dongfeng once again remembered the words Old Man had said before.

Haha, you'll know about this in a few days. The Old Man didn't answer Ye Dongfeng, but laughed while keeping Ye Dongfeng in suspense.

Then, he turned to look at Xiao Ya, and said somewhat mysteriously: "This friend of yours, being able to sense the secrets within, is truly not simple at all!

Ye Dongfeng frowned. This Old Man talked about pillars one moment and then shifted his focus back to Xiao Ya. He rarely answered his own questions directly, which gave him an impulse to hit others.

However, looking at the other party's expression, it seemed like he understood Xiao Ya's background. He held back the unhappiness in his heart and asked after hearing the other party's words: "Does this old sir know of the background of this friend of mine?"

Xiao Ya, who was standing at the side, also revealed a curious expression.

Although she felt that she was living a happy life now, she still wanted to know about her real past. After all, she also wanted to know who her parents were, and whether she still had any relatives or sisters who lived in this world.

However, back in the Hundred Flowers Forest, no one knew about these things, so she could only bury her desire to find her parents deep in her heart.

Now, with great difficulty, she had finally met someone who might have known of her background. The long-hidden desire in her heart had finally been aroused once again.

Facing the pair of curious eyes, Old Man caressed his white and sparse beard gently. Then, just as Ye Dongfeng was about to lose his patience, he chuckled and said: "You'll know about this in a few days.

After saying that, Old Man turned around and left the plaza without looking back.

You...

Ye Dongfeng didn't think that after waiting for so long for such a useless sentence to come, he was just about to go up and capture this Old Man who loved showing off.

However, just as he was about to move, Xiao Ya grabbed his arm and lightly shook her head. Big Brother Ye, forget it, I've been waiting for over ten years already, so there's no rush.

Moreover, this Old Man is a little mysterious. When he appeared earlier, I did not notice his appearance.

Ye Dongfeng was startled, he did not expect Xiao Ya to take the initiative to advise him, as this was completely different from her innocent personality.

It was as if he had grown up all of a sudden.

Aiya, Big Brother Ye, don't look at me like that!

However, this calm state of maturity only lasted for a moment, after a moment, Xiao Ya regained her previous innocence, and pouted, telling Ye Dongfeng not to look at her.
