Eternal Tranquility

When Liu Qinghuan entered, he slightly covered the entrance of the cave with a burned down red mulberry tree, but did not set up any superfluous formations.

He walked in front, Lele followed him, and the two of them walked inward step by step along the passage.

The cave was very quiet, except for the rustling footsteps of the two people and the echo of their words.

The two walked for a while without encountering anything unusual.

Lele held up a luminous pearl in boredom and deliberately spoke in Liu Qinghuan's ear in a strangely slow tone: "Liu Qinghuan, do you think there is a ghost in here?"

After saying that, he chuckled first.

Liu Qinghuan was observing the cave wall when he suddenly felt a soft body on his back. He coughed and took a step forward. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you know how long Tainan has existed?"

Lele didn't know why he asked this, and replied casually: "It's been a long time, but it wasn't called the Tainan Exam before, it was called the Feng Exam, and the name was changed later."

Liu Qinghuan asked anxiously: "When did you change your name?"

"Ah? It seems to have been tens of thousands of years ago. Who has the time to remember these things?"

Liu Qinghuan had some speculations in his mind, maybe it was the monks from Sao Feng Continent who changed the name after discovering the land of Tainan. Then it is very likely that Tainan Land appeared later. After the Eastern Wasteland of the Yunmengze Continent sank into the mainland, the territory of the Tainan Immortal Sect passed through the void for unknown reasons and came to the center of the Howling Wind Sea.

"Why are you asking this?" Lele asked curiously.

"Well...you know that I am not a monk from your Sao Feng Continent, right?"

"I know, you are from that continent called Yunmengze."

Liu Qinghuan nodded, carefully guarding against the surrounding situation while telling her his guess about this place.

"Is there such a thing?" Lele said, but she was not very interested in these ancient histories. Instead, she clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Ha, you said they evacuated in a hurry, then did the Tainan Immortal Sect evacuate?" Did you leave a lot of treasures behind?”

"It's possible..."

While the two were talking, the passage turned, and a dry cave appeared in front, with broken stalactites falling onto the uneven ground.

"Liu Qinghuan, look here." Lele pointed at a stone.

I saw a deep sword mark on the stone. There were such sword marks on the ground and walls.

"It seems that a battle once took place here, but the traces are not new. They should have been left when Tainan Land was opened last time." Liu Qinghuan said, picking up a black scale from a pile of rocks.

"What's this?"

"It looks like snake scales, with dried blood stains on them." Liu Qinghuan threw away the scales and patted the dust on his hands: "Let's be careful and keep walking."

The two walked through the cave for another quarter of an hour when Liu Qinghuan suddenly stopped.

Lele behind him asked: "What's wrong?"

Liu Qinghuan pushed forward with both hands: "We may have encountered a restriction."

He drew out his small gray sword and struck forward with one strike.

A slight ripple appeared in the empty air ahead, and soon subsided and disappeared.

Liu Qinghuan frowned and said, "With our ability, I'm afraid we can't break this restriction."

"Giggle, who said we have to break through!" Lele squeezed in front of him and waved a blue token at him, with two ancient seal characters shining brightly on it: Tainan.

Liu Qinghuan was shocked: "How come you have the pass token of Tainan Immortal Sect?!"

"Otherwise, why do you think my father must let me come to this place where birds don't shit?" Lele rolled her eyes, held the token in one hand, and began to draw spells with the other, and began to recite extremely complicated spells in her mouth.

I saw the blue token half floating in the air, and suddenly shot out a ray of light. The light shines in the mid-air, slowly forming a hole of light.

Liu Qing said with a smile: "I have benefited from you today, otherwise I would never have entered Tainan..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a ferocious ghost claw suddenly sticking out of the light hole!

The ghost claws are shaped like eagle claws, but even bigger. The five sharp claws are half a foot long. Grab them!

Lele, who was standing in front, screamed and leaned back very quickly. The sharp claws flashed with a cold and sharp light that made people feel chilled, waving past her beautiful and delicate face.

Lele leaned back and bumped into Liu Qinghuan, and her waving hands raised a blazing white flame.

This flame was obviously very powerful. The ghost claws that were caught again met it and shook violently, and the black hair and green flesh on it immediately became scorched.

A shrill and crazy ghost scream came from behind the light hole, and a humanoid ghost wearing tattered clothes appeared in their field of vision. It no longer cared about attacking them, but jumped and slapped its burning paws vigorously.

Liu Qinghuan held Lele's shoulders and turned in front of her. At the same time, she grabbed a yellow round short stick in her hand, flashed into the light hole, and raised the stick with her hand!

"Ouch, ouch..." The humanoid ghost finally extinguished the white flames, but was hit head-on with a stick. He wanted to resist, but every time the short yellow stick fell, the layers of runes engraved on the stick shone slightly, and all the strength in his body was scattered by the stick hitting his body.

Liu Qinghuan held the ghost torture stick, one after another, beating the ferocious humanoid ghost so tightly that it could only shrink its body tightly, holding its head with its burnt claws and wailing.

He was also slightly surprised. This was the first time he used the ghost torture stick. He didn't expect that this magical weapon obtained from Qiyun Temple was so powerful, and it could beat a ghost without the ability to fight back.

Every time the ghost stick is struck, part of his mana will be sucked away, and the yellow stick will light up, suppressing all the resistance of the humanoid ghost.

Lele, who was still in shock, also entered the light cave. Seeing Liu Qinghuan excited about fighting, his eyes were bright: "This ghost seems to be talking."

"Huh?" Liu Qinghuan stopped when he heard the words. Sure enough, the humanoid ghost was howling and grunting some syllables, which really seemed to be talking.

When the ghost saw the stick stopped, it raised its head and muttered something to Liu Qinghuan, pleading flashing in its green ghost eyes.

But how could Liu Qinghuan understand its ghost language, let alone let it go? With a stick, the ghost's head split into pieces, and a dim yellow ghost bead rolled out.

Liu Qinghuan took the ghost bead into his hand and pulled out the underworld ghost willow tree heart from his collar.

Lele kicked the humanoid ghost that was lying motionless on the ground: "What is this thing and why does it appear here?"

Liu Qinghuan saw the aura of hell emerging from the tree's heart, wrapped up the ghost bead, curled his lips with satisfaction, and then looked over: "This should be a ghost called a tapir skeleton. As for why it appears here... "

He turned his head and said in a dry voice: "I'm afraid there is a big change in Tainan Immortal Sect."

Looking around, one can see towering peaks and majestic palace complexes scattered throughout the mountains, telling the story of the prosperity of the Tainan Immortal Sect in the past. But now, the auspicious clouds in the mountains have turned black, and the green trees have all turned half black, not yellow, and look ghostly.

The old land of Tainan Immortal Sect has been reduced to a ghost land!
