Chapter 653 Dragon?
Little Bai hugged her arms, her face scrunched up, her eyes practically disappearing, and said fearfully, "Could this be a ghost?"
"Ah... This voice appeared out of nowhere in our ears, could it really be a ghost?" Xiaoqing screamed, and in fright, she turned back into her original form and wrapped herself around Yaoyao's leg, trembling all over.
"Aren't you people familiar with ghosts?"
Speechless, Yao Yao raised her foot and shook it, trying to shake Xiao Qing off, but Xiao Qing refused to come down no matter what.
"Yaoyao, it's normal for a girl to be afraid of ghosts. I only feel safe with you." Xiaoqing looked at Yaoyao pitifully with her bright green eyes.
Yao Yao pursed her lips and looked at Xiao Qing. She's a girl too, you know.
How terrified Xiaoqing must have been when she was still in her beast form!
Why do they scream when they see ghosts after they've taken human form?
"Alright, we've seen so many ghosts, are you still scared? Come on, get on me."
Xiao Bai stepped forward, pulled Xiao Qing off, and hung her on his shoulder.
The little eyes glanced sideways at the cuddly monkey.
Didn't you see that Hug Monkey's eyes are practically popping out of their sockets?
"Let's go, the sound seems urgent, let's follow the sound."
Yueyuan looked south, towards the depths of the ruins.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing shut her mouth, straightened up, and craned her neck to look in the direction of the voice.
As they walked further in, they saw more and more of the former prosperity.
The entrance to the ruins should be a small village in the Phoenix Fall Kingdom, filled with low-lying houses.
After an hour's flight, the houses became more and more densely packed as they went further in, most of them having two floors.
The more rooms there are, the more people there are. The ground is covered with dense white bones, all crawling on the ground in a struggling posture.
These are all people from Fengluo Kingdom.
All of it was used by the leader of the Su Organization to repair the Haotian Mirror.
When the Haotian Mirror shattered, there wasn't even a single fragment left; it must have been reduced to dust.
"Sigh, these people are so pitiful." Xiaoqing sighed. "They died without knowing why, and they probably won't even have a chance to be reincarnated."
"At that time, Fengluo Kingdom was under lockdown, and cultivators from the five major sects could not enter. If they had entered, they might have been able to rescue some people."
Yueyuan looked at the mountain of bones piled up on the ground with a look of pity.
Yao Yao said in her childish voice, "We can't change what happened in the past, and we can't predict what will happen in the future. Living well in the present is already a good ending."
Although the Haotian Mirror can travel to the past and change the future, the butterfly effect may bring unknown dangers to the future.
Therefore, the extinction of the demon race and the monster race was the will of Heaven, a cycle that follows the laws of nature.
The Haotian Mirror is the same.
Because of what the leader of the Su Organization did, I'm afraid the Haotian Mirror won't reunite for at least five hundred years.
Even Heaven itself cannot change this.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the location of the sound.
Judging from the dilapidated ruins, this appears to be the royal palace of the Phoenix Fall Kingdom.
Many skeletons also lay at the entrance of the palace; judging from their clothing, these people were probably palace maids and eunuchs.
Strangely, the palace gates were filled with the skeletons of palace maids and eunuchs. Where had the emperor, his three thousand concubines, and his guards gone?
The voice grew more urgent and weaker, calling out to them incessantly.
Yao Yao looked up at Yue Yuan and nodded to him.
The four people and two beasts walked together toward the still relatively intact palace gate.
When Yao Yao and Yue Yuan reached the palace gate, they discovered that there was a barrier there.
Yao Yao looked at the barrier at the palace gate in surprise. They hadn't noticed the barrier before. Could it be a protective barrier to conceal one's aura?
However, judging from the layout of this barrier, it is not. There is a faint dragon aura, but it is very faint and you really can't feel it if you don't pay close attention.
However, this barrier is on the verge of collapse.
As soon as Yao Yao's chubby hand touched the barrier, the barrier suddenly shattered and dissipated little by little.
As the barrier dissipated, the true scene inside was revealed.
"There's nothing inside this palace. It's dilapidated on the outside, but inside it's perfectly fine. The ground is clean, the sun is shining, and it looks vibrant. It just doesn't feel human at all."
Xiao Bai twitched its nose and said strangely.
"Are you a dog? With all the palace maids and eunuchs running away, how could there be any humans left?" Xiaoqing tapped Xiaobai's head with her snake tail, somewhat speechless.
Xiao Hei: I suspect you're insulting me.
“This aura…” Yue Yuan frowned.
"Dragon Vein."
"The aura of this dragon vein is very weak."
Yao Yao paused for a moment, then continued.
"Was it calling us just now?" Yueyuan guessed.
Yao Yao shook her head. "I don't know. Logically speaking, dragon veins can't become sentient."
"We'll know whether it's a person or a ghost once we go inside. This thing is quite capable to have remained unscathed in the ruins for over twenty years without being discovered by the leader of the Su Organization," Yue Yuan said.
Four people and two beasts stepped into the palace.
It seemed that the creature inside sensed their arrival, and a butterfly conjured by spiritual power flew in front of them, guiding them into the palace.
Following the butterfly, we arrived at an inconspicuous palace.
Pushing open the door, one is greeted by rows of small memorial tablets.
It was so densely packed that you couldn't see the end of it when you looked up.
A candle was lit in front of each memorial tablet.
“We haven’t seen a single living person along the way. Who lit these candles?” Yao Yao blinked.
Yueyuan walked up to the memorial tablets, glanced at the words on them, and said, "These tablets were erected twenty years ago. Only the first few rows are the memorial tablets of the emperors and empresses of the Phoenix Fall Kingdom throughout the ages."
Just as Yao Yao was about to speak, she felt a fluctuation in the space.
When the divine sense entered the space, it saw the little fox anxiously pawing at the space.
Sister Yan'er, Brother Xiao Ci, Yue'er, and the 'woman' are still unconscious.
"what happened?"
The little fox paced anxiously, "My spirit is here, please let me out."
Upon hearing this, Yao Yao quickly released it.
A ball of light rushed towards the very top of the spirit tablet. After rummaging through nine locations, a weak spirit appeared before them.
"After all these years, I've finally waited for you all."
A dragon appeared before them.
