When Lan Yue woke up, she looked at the system panel floating in front of her with a shocked expression.
What happened? She just happened to be watching a drama and ended up getting 6000 points?
"System, you didn't take pity on me and start doing charity for me, did you?" Lan Yue asked suspiciously.
system:"..."
Are you overestimating yourself?
"These special melons earn more points. Do you think I'd give you those points for nothing?"
If the system had a humanoid form, it would probably be rolling its eyes right now.
"System, you're right. You've meticulously calculated every single point I borrowed from you before. How could you possibly be doing charity for me?"
Lan Yue was relieved.
Since these points belong to her, it's wonderful!
Looking at her balance of 3,000 points, Lan Yue suddenly remembered that she had stopped owing system points and could now have her own little treasury.
From now on, I won't have to count my points every day anymore!
Lan Yue suddenly felt great. She felt that her trip to the Northern Ridge Holy Land had not been in vain. She had just arrived at the foot of the Holy Mountain and had already gained 6,000 points.
I wonder if there are any other black melons like this in Beiling Holy Land. These melons are just amazing!
She wasn't trying to get points; she just wanted to help more people clear their names, really!
So early in the morning, she and her friends went for a stroll near the sacred mountain, hoping to catch as many juicy tidbits as possible!
However, once outside, the Northern Ridge Holy Land was under martial law, and everywhere were white-robed cultivators wielding silver swords; very few people from other sects came to stroll around.
Lan Yue found it strange. Weren't all those demons supposed to have been captured? Why is martial law in effect again?
As they were discussing, Baili Xingzhou walked over again from across the street, looking exhausted.
"What's wrong?" Lan Yue had seen the other person looking radiant yesterday, how come they've changed so much today?
Could it be that the demons from the Holy Mountain have influenced the Northern Ridge Holy Land?
Come to think of it, who wouldn't be afraid if they knew that the steward they've worked with for so many years was actually from the demon race?
Baili Xingzhou sighed: "Do you remember Nangong Ye who went to the ruins with me? He disappeared on the Holy Mountain. It was probably the work of those demons. Maybe we still have demons we haven't captured. The entire Northern Ridge Holy Land is under martial law now. Maybe the later matches will have to be postponed."
After all, if those demons weren't dealt with properly, the Holy Lord and the elders wouldn't have the heart to continue presiding over the competition.
There might be some demons lurking in the shadows, plotting something against their Northern Ridge Holy Land.
"That guy is gone?" Lan Yue was shocked.
She had seen this guy before in the ruins; he had invited her to come along.
Lan Yue thought the other party was a villain from the demon race later on, and was unreliable, so she ignored him completely.
It seems that Nangong Ye was kidnapped by the demons around this time.
"Don't wander around. Try to stay in the Holy City. If anything happens, come find me immediately," Baili Xingzhou instructed them.
He didn't linger long afterward, and soon left with a group of white-robed guards.
Lan Yue, who remained behind, seemed to be deep in thought. She directly opened the system map and discovered that there were actually no demons nearby.
However, inside the palace in the center of the distant holy city, there seemed to be about a dozen black dots gathered. Two of these black dots were larger than the others, suggesting they were more powerful than the other demons.
Since they are inside the palace, it means that these demons must have been tied up by the people of the Northern Ridge Holy Land.
She checked the maps of other places but didn't find any black dots.
[Lan Yue: Let me check Nangong Ye's location.]
Lan Yue can see the location of people she knows. As long as she enters their names, she can see the light spots where they are located.
However, she has hardly ever used this feature.
After all, she didn't go out much, and the elders always accompanied her when she did, so there was no need to look for anyone else.
As soon as Lan Yue voiced her thoughts, Bai Lixingzhou, who had already left, stopped abruptly.
People from other nearby Beiling holy sites also turned their attention here, all of them somewhat eager.
The Holy Lord, who had just sensed something, paused for a moment and immediately communicated telepathically with the Sect Master of the Southern Spirit Sect beside him.
"This young girl from your sect can even find the locations of other people? Does she possess a celestial artifact?"
The Holy Lord of Beiling had long wanted to ask this question. He strongly suspected that this young girl possessed a celestial artifact; otherwise, how could she know about history buried ten thousand years ago?
If it weren't for the little girl's reminder, their sacred mountain might have been destroyed by those demons!
The sacred mountain is the symbol of the holy land of Beiling, and he absolutely cannot let this happen!
"How could that be? Lan Yue was just lucky to find a top-grade spiritual artifact from ten thousand years ago in an ancient ruin. How could there be so many immortal artifacts in the world that we could just pick up for free?"
Yun Chong denied it outright while transmitting his voice.
In any case, he will never admit it!
"Is it true?" The Holy Lord of Beiling looked suspicious; he felt that something was not quite right.
But upon closer reflection, it seems that only ancient magical artifacts could know about events that occurred ten thousand years ago. How could ordinary magical artifacts possibly know so much? Even immortal artifacts couldn't possibly know everything, right?
"If your sect's disciples can find Nangong Ye, I will definitely make sure the Nangong family thanks you properly. If the Nanling Sect needs anything then, just ask their family!"
The Nangong family is the second largest family in the Northern Ridge Holy Land, after the Baili family.
Nangong Ye is now a direct descendant of the Nangong family, which is causing those people a lot of worry.
If the people from the Nanling Sect are willing to lend a helping hand, the Nangong family will be extremely grateful.
Yun Chong glanced at him, thinking that this old guy was quite shrewd, only saying that he could not offer any gifts.
The Holy Lord opposite him noticed his gaze but pretended not to see anything.
Don't let his status as the Holy Lord of the Northern Ridge Holy Land fool you; compared to those families, he's actually the poorest one.
Others at least have the support of their families and can receive the wealth accumulated by their families over thousands of years, but he can only rely on his meager salary!
Even if you ask him to pay, he feels it's not enough. Of course, the Nangong family should handle it themselves!
While the group was communicating telepathically, Lan Yue had already entered Nangong Ye's name and located his position.
