Chapter 110 When will the Holy Son of Beiling find out?
Lan Yue was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. The senior of the nine-layered array tower had already disappeared.
She stared blankly at the room full of starlight, watching the underground fire surge wildly, as if trying to hold onto that glimmer of light.
However, the starlight eventually shattered, turning into specks of dust that drifted away, leaving only a faint sigh.
"Lan Yue." "Lan Yue?"
"Lan Yue!"
The shouts of many people came from behind, snapping her out of her daze.
"Yunxi, was it like this when you received the inheritance before?" Lanyue still couldn't believe it.
Yunxi nodded. She couldn't believe it at the time either, but there was nothing she could do; her senior had already disappeared.
Only he himself remembered that in ancient times, there was a man named Dan Daozi who had an extraordinary life and even used ancient demons to refine elixirs.
Yunxi knew the ending couldn't be changed, and she didn't want Lanyue to be saddened beforehand, so she didn't mention it.
Lan Yue was indeed heartbroken. Although she had only spent a short time with the consciousness of the nine-layered array tower, she still greatly admired it.
She saw the other person's entire life in her mind, growing up in the Central Holy Land and being born as the heir to the Nine-Story Tower.
They were living a life of comfort and ease, but upon learning of the demon invasion, they voluntarily went to the front lines.
Countless life-and-death experiences and repeated improvements to the formation were what allowed the lower-level disciples of the Central Holy Land to hold out for so long.
Finally, when the Central Holy Land was in turmoil, the opposing side summoned all the array masters from the Central Holy Land and the four regions, leaving their legacy in the tower.
Lan Yue saw some scenes where many array masters had only drawn half of their drawings before being summoned to fight on the Demon Realm battlefield.
Some returned wounded to continue completing their formations, while others remained forever on the battlefield of the Demon Realm, and the surrounding formation masters would then retire from their practice.
Those array diagrams end there, forever remaining only half-lined.
The more frantic Lan Yue was when she was researching the nine-layered array tower, the more emotional she felt now.
It turned out that it wasn't the ancient array masters who were making things difficult for them, but rather that many of them had already been left behind on the battlefield by the demons.
Those people will never be able to wield their magic pens again and draw the arrays that have been passed down in their minds for tens of thousands of years.
Lan Yue told these stories, and everyone fell silent.
"I even cursed them back then, thinking this array tower was simply too difficult, and that their lines looked like the scribbles of some little brat." Li Bai's tone was low, and he suddenly felt that he was not human, that he had actually cursed them.
Just as everyone was feeling sentimental, a crisp sound was heard.
Li Bai slapped himself.
This slap stunned Yanlong, who instinctively looked over.
"It doesn't have to be that bad." Lan Yue's lips twitched.
This completely woke them up. Everyone clenched their fists, thinking that they too had to fight the demons!
"Are you guys ever going to stop? Get out of here while you still can, the ruins are about to close completely!"
The Fiery Dragon roared at them.
"I will contact you through the nine-story array tower when the ruins reopen. For now, all of you can go cool off somewhere else."
Before the little ones could react, they were pushed forward by the Flame Dragon and thrown out of the ruins.
Only Lan Yue felt that Yan Long seemed to have secretly kicked her, but she couldn't believe it.
"With claws that big, how could Senior Flame Dragon possibly kick someone?"
[System: It did kick you, I can vouch for that.]
At this moment, the system quietly emerged and betrayed the smug Flame Dragon within the ruins.
Lan Yue: "!!!!"
Why do so many of them like kicking people?
Could this be how ancient cultivators greeted divine beasts?
Lan Yue has fallen into self-doubt.
It couldn't possibly be her fault!
…
"They're finally out!" The elders outside were overjoyed and wept as they watched the children emerge one by one.
"I thought you were being held hostage by the demons, and I was planning to go to the Demon Realm to take revenge and kill a few demon generals!"
The Fifth Elder said to them with a smile.
Everyone: "???"
"Children, what happened to you? Why were you inside for so long?" The Second Elder breathed a sigh of relief.
He had already prepared for the worst and even summoned the sect leader, but the sect leader was helpless regarding this ruin.
This site is completely sealed off, refusing entry to any consciousness.
"Xiao Xi, let me see." Yun Chong originally had some of the reserve one would expect from a sect leader, but seeing the other elders crowding around him one after another, he couldn't sit still any longer.
She quickly went over and took the initiative to check her daughter's health.
"My dear daughter, you must have suffered so much. You haven't been eating or sleeping well for so many days, you must have…" Yun Chong paused.
"Hmm? You've gotten fatter? And your cultivation level has increased too?"
Yunxi glared at him angrily. How could he say that the little girl was fat?
I'd rather not have this father!
Yunxi turned her head away angrily.
[Lan Yue: Hehe, Nü'e is so cute, much cuter than in the original story!]
Yun Chong, who was standing to the side, immediately felt a strong alarm bell ring in his mind.
He thought he only needed to keep it a secret from the Holy Son of Beiling, but he never expected that there would be a little girl who wanted to take his daughter away from him!
The key point is that Yunxi really likes him, so who knows, she might run off with him one day!
This won't do! Yun Chong quickly pulled his daughter behind him.
"By the way, where are my senior brothers and sisters?" Lan Yue was a little confused because she didn't see any of her familiar senior brothers and sisters.
"I was just about to ask you this: did you see any of your senior brothers and sisters when you came out? Are they still receiving their inheritance?"
"Have you encountered any demons? Those demons must have come prepared; they're already in the ruins."
The elders all asked questions.
"That's right, where are the people from our Northern Ridge Holy Land? Xingzhou and the others didn't come out, only you few returned safely." Elder Wan was also extremely anxious.
Why are only these few kids from the Southern Spirit Sect out? Where are the others? Where did the people from the Northern Ridge Holy Land go?
There's no reason why their Northern Ridge Holy Land should be inferior to other sects!
Therefore, Elder Wan believed that he must be like his senior brothers and sisters in the Nanjing sect, still receiving the inheritance!
"Have the senior brothers and sisters not returned yet? But the ruins have been completely closed, haven't they?" Lan Yue was confused.
The other friends looked at each other in bewilderment.
After a while, they all thought of one possibility: their senior brothers and sisters were probably still in the array tower or the herb garden.
Lan Yue subconsciously shook her hair, and the nine-story array tower emitted a faint light.
Before long, the group of senior brothers and sisters, as well as the people from the Northern Ridge Holy Land, appeared in front of everyone.
On the other side, Yunxi seemed to realize something as well, and looked into her alchemy furnace, and was also surprised.
As if sensing something, Yun Chong took the initiative to stand in front of his daughter, blocking everyone's view.
Before long, the other half of the people appeared in front of everyone, lined up neatly.
"Now everyone's here. They must have been receiving their inheritance before, which is why they're late," Yun Chong said calmly.
Even though the other elders had their doubts, they all nodded in agreement.
"Yes, they probably arrived late because of the inheritance." Elder Wan didn't expose them, but instead pulled Baili Xingzhou aside to ask him questions.
The people from the Crimson Moon Sect also called over their disciples to inquire about the situation.
"What happened to us in the ruins is a long story," Lan Yue and the others were telling the elders.
"Let's talk about it at the sect. There are many things that can't be explained clearly." Lan Yue said with a serious expression.
The other elders all agreed that it was absolutely right; how could one ask such a question openly in front of so many people?
If these kids manage to get something extraordinary, other sects will definitely be envious!
"You're right..." The Second Elder was about to praise her for her composure when he heard her next thought.
[Lan Yue: What's the point of talking about those things now? Let me sneak in some gossip first. I've accumulated enough points to build the Great Wall, shouldn't I get a few more?]
[I remember Elder Wan was from the Northern Ridge Holy Land, right? The melons from the Northern Ridge Holy Land are incredibly sweet! I wonder when the Northern Ridge Holy Son found out his lost daughter had returned.]
Everyone was startled.
Elder Wan's eyes widened even more suddenly.
What? The Holy Son's daughter has returned?
