ble.Jiang Qiyun's face was expressionless as he stated calmly, "Neither of them had the ghostly pallor of a ghost king's thrall, nor did we find any signs of possession on that woman."My brother looke...The nebula hangs like a waterfall cascading.

The starry sky is dazzling and breathtakingly beautiful.

Where is this exactly Is this the secret lake we visited before

Mu Wanchen reached out and touched my shoulder. I stood there, frozen in place, unable to move. This scene flickered before my eyes like a fading memory, eventually disappearing completely.

Removing the mask, all he saw was Mu Wanchen and the azure soul lamp beside him.

In the tomb's corridor, this eerie azure was a little sickening. He looked at me and asked in a low voice, "Did you see it again"

I nodded. "It's a galaxy, dense and glittering, like an endless night sky... no, it's just a starry sky, but I'm seeing it from a higher angle, so it feels like the universe... It must be someone's starry sky."

"A lake" Mu Wanchen also thought of this place.

"I also thought of lakes, but this is obviously many times larger than any lake, it's impossible to describe the feeling... I think it's at least ten thousand times bigger."

"Mu Wanchen glanced at the restored guards, motioning for him to leave. Turning back, he whispered to me, “If this mask can give the Witch King a revelation, then perhaps under this starry sky you see… is the key to the future.”

"Why can I see it Can't you see it" I asked in bewilderment.

Mu Wanchen shook his head. "Fate is something we can't explain. Perhaps the female gu on you is related to what you saw."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "I've been carefully combing through things these past few days, and I think the old monster became the Great Shaman around a thousand years ago. Since shamanism is passed down through secret traditions, many things are conveyed through esoteric methods of initiation. There aren't any specific records of dates. That old monster probably withheld some information and didn't pass it on to the next generation of Great Shamans because he had a plot brewing a long time ago..."

"Recently this conspiracy has become more and more obvious, I feel like he wants to devour the methods of this place, ruin it, and his ultimate goal is..."

"What could it possibly be Immortality Invincibility Those are just jokes, aren't they" I interjected.

Mu Wanchen's eyebrows relaxed slightly, and he smiled at me: "He shouldn't be so foolish. He has lived for a thousand years and should have understood these principles long ago. Even if he practiced evil arts to destroy this place, he wouldn't gain much cultivation. He is also a great shaman, and he would go to such lengths to escape after entering the tomb and fall into demonic ways for many years. It must be for a very special purpose..."

I've been thinking a lot these past few days. The old monster seems to have calculated the right time and place, using someone like the Dragon King who harbors resentment and has ulterior motives. It appears he's trying to drive us into a desperate situation.

I rubbed my arms and said nonchalantly, “He's driven him to move his valuables into the tomb. What else could he possibly do”

Mu Wanchen smiled faintly: "Perhaps it's to force me to open the mausoleum"

Huh

I looked at Mu Wanchen.

He sighed, "The mausoleum is a place even he can't intrude upon from the outside. Perhaps he still wants to go in again... He set up an array to devour souls outside, slowly eroding and destroying this area's gate, ultimately exposing us to the world's eyes. For survival, we could only compromise with those in power. The mausoleum will eventually be opened."

“Then let's quickly move the people who are temporarily staying in Miao Wang City back. With more people, the magical formations will be more stable. Otherwise, the spiritual energy here will be chaotic, and it will be easier for him to devour it.” I said worriedly.

Mú Wǎn Chén nodded. "Follow the proper steps, don't be impatient, it's a matter of time and opportunity. Some things need to break before they can be rebuilt, and some things will happen naturally. Since you can see signs, it means there is still a future."

He paused, lowering his gaze to my belly, a smirk playing on his lips. “And... the future.”

A pale blue soul lamp, like a jellyfish, hovered silently beside him.

The cold-toned, eerie and melancholic bluestone path was warmed by a few degrees by his faint smirk.

"Perhaps saying this might put pressure on you, but you have truly brought us, and me, a future. So no matter what happens, I never feel like we're at a dead end. Instead, seeing you so spirited actually makes me very happy."

His voice was low and gentle, like a babbling brook. If this wasn't the wrong environment, I would definitely cuddle him and act cute.

"See, now I can even see visions, so the black mist I saw that day must have had a reason... Could it be some kind of virus..." I said, frowning.

Mu Wanchen retracted his smile, reached out and lifted me up. We walked towards the outside of the mausoleum.

This passage was half collapsed, and had been cleared out. To prevent rainwater from seeping in, stones were temporarily piled up to make a half-wall for windbreak. At this moment, the wind blew through the passage entrance, whistling ominously, making the passage even more eerie.

I leaned against Mu Wanchen's shoulder, gazing into the darkness at the end of the corridor.

The old monster escaped the moment the tomb closed, he must have seen what lay behind the tomb, something he had waited for years for, his destination, perhaps still here.

At night, I was woken up by a flurry of hurried footsteps. When I opened my eyes, Mu Wanchen had already left.

Someone was running outside, and I hurriedly wrapped myself in my clothes and went out the door. Grabbing someone, I asked, "What's going on What happened"

"My lady, we just heard the horn sound. Apparently, a body was found by the river, someone was attacked!"

I was startled. Bai Ni descended from the rooftop, her body dangling downwards. At night, she would perch on top and guard me. Mu Wanchen must have taken people to check on the situation.

There were thick black clouds at the horizon, with lightning flashing frequently within them.

But the surroundings were very dry, lacking the heavy feeling of an impending downpour.

"Little Princess Is there anything else Don't be afraid, this camp is guarded layer by layer, you're very safe staying here."

"...It's nothing, go ahead and busy yourself."

The camp was ablaze with bonfires, with the elderly, weak, women and children gathered together. The young, strong, and men were on guard duty, some even releasing their natal gu.

Black clouds press down on the city, and the night wind is dry.

Occasionally, there were one or two terrified cries. Far away by the riverbank, many torches were flickering...

Such a scene, it made me feel as if time had slipped away – like something that happened many years ago.

The might of heaven and earth cannot be escaped, and man-made disasters and military calamities have brought even greater catastrophes... It seems like there was a similar scene thousands of years ago.

Thousands of years ago…

How could I have even thought of this

"Hiss—" Bai Ni suddenly let out a warning sound!stop him from speaking."...Old man, husband..."His hand tightened suddenly, squeezing me hard.I saw a warning in his eyes: Mu Xia Qiao, you "still" want to play tricksHe knew very well that I wouldn't...
