This land is vast and desolate, with not a single blade of grass growing on it.
Only the lost city in the distance stands forever. The huge black city is shrouded in bloody thunderclouds, and it also casts a layer of heart-stopping mystery.
Wu Lingchong stood there blankly.
He was still shocked by the fact that Su Yi had killed a god.
The woman in the bamboo hat had already stood up, her eyes like autumn water filled with excitement.
The words of the evil spirit leader called "Yu Gan" made her realize that her father, who disappeared in the lost city, was still alive!!
"Let's go."
Su Yi turned around and walked towards the lost city.
Wu Lingchong woke up from a dream and hurriedly followed.
"Senior, can you take me with you?"
The woman in a bamboo hat hurriedly caught up.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Su Yi said.
"Not afraid."
The woman in the bamboo hat responded without thinking.
Su Yi said nothing more and just nodded.
The gate of the Lost City is a thousand feet high, and walking among it makes one feel insignificant.
The moment they entered the city gate, Su Yi and others felt a strange feeling.
It's like stepping into it, like stepping into another world, completely losing contact with the outside world.
Wu Lingchong suddenly turned around.
Immediately, I was surprised to find that the way I came from had disappeared!
Outside the city gate, there is a strange and dark world of nothingness, with nothing visible.
"this……"
Wu Lingchong felt terrified. He had just stepped into the city gate and such a change happened. How could anyone not be shocked?
The woman in the bamboo hat was also stunned, but she was relatively calm.
This is a lost city, one of the eight most dangerous and mysterious restricted areas in the Era!
But when you are ready to die, no matter how weird and terrible things happen, it won't be a big deal.
"Look forward."
Su Yi continued to move forward.
He was holding a wine gourd in one hand and walked calmly. His calm demeanor made Wu Lingchong feel at ease.
But when he passed through the city gate and saw the scene in front of him, Wu Lingchong, who had just calmed down, suddenly lost his composure.
Cemetery.
Endless tombs!
The sky covered with bloody thunder reflects a strange red light, and on the ground, dense tombs are scattered scattered, like a huge cemetery!
The strangest thing is that above each tomb, there is a green lantern suspended, with pale green flames floating like countless green eyes.
hiss!
Wu Ling gasped.
Is this the lost city?
The woman in the bamboo hat was also stunned. She didn't even think that there would be such a strange and infiltrating scene in the lost city.
"Those tombs are different, which may mean that the identity and conduct of the people buried in different tombs are different."
Su Yi suddenly said.
Some tombs are just a handful of loess, while others are comparable to a small mountain peak, with a black color and extraordinary momentum.
There are even some tombs that have been completely transformed into palaces and pavilions!
And, there are not a few of them.
If there were not tombstones standing in front of those palaces and pavilions, and a green lantern suspended above each, no one would believe that they were tombs.
Wu Lingchong and the woman in the hat also discovered this.
"Could it be said that everyone who enters the Lost City has already died, and these graves are left by those who died in the Lost City?"
Wu Lingchong murmured.
"That's wrong. In the lost city, death means eternal life. Those graves you see are buried in nothing more than decaying flesh and bones. Our souls are beyond life and death and are eternal!"
Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded under the sky covered with bloody thunder.
Su Yi raised his eyes to look at the sky, and saw a sedan painted with blood appearing beneath the bloody thundercloud.
That hoarse voice came from the blood-colored sedan chair.
"Who are you?"
Su Yi asked.
The voice in the blood-colored sedan chair avoided answering and only said: "There is not much time left for you. Quickly find a place and build a tomb for your own flesh and blood."
"When the bloody thunder in the sky is obscured by the black mist like eternal night, you will completely lose yourself and never find your way back."
"At that time, even the physical body will no longer be left, and the soul will be exiled forever, with no fixed place to live, and will be completely reduced to... a homeless person at the mercy of others!"
The sound was still echoing, and the sedan chair quietly disappeared.
"Building a grave for yourself?"
Wu Lingchong felt a great sense of absurdity.
The woman in the bamboo hat was frightened and murmured: "When the black mist covers the sky, even the physical body will be destroyed, the soul will be exiled, and become a homeless person? What does this mean? Does it mean that the homeless person will lose everything he had in life?"
This is really weird and unheard of before.
Looking at the densely packed graves in the distance, the woman in the bamboo hat became even more uneasy.
Those...could it be that the strong men who entered the lost city built their own tombs?
This is simply too permeating.
Which strong person in this world who can cross the long river of era would do this?
"If you don't want to become a homeless person, you have to dig your own grave..."
Su Yi smiled nonchalantly, "How can there be such broken rules in this ghost place? Let's go and take a look from a distance."
He had seen before that deep in the dense cemetery, the outlines of some giant buildings could be vaguely seen.
Immediately, he, Wu Lingchong, and the woman in the bamboo hat walked forward.
Along the way, there were all kinds of tombs everywhere, and it was silent. Except for the sky that was dyed red by blood-red thunder, the whole city was dark and gloomy.
On the road, lanterns shed green light, and the light and shadow were mottled, making it look increasingly gloomy and depressing, comparable to the ghostly underworld.
Su Yi was drinking and walking.
That gloomy and terrifying sight was nothing in his eyes.
Don't forget, he had entered the Netherworld and seen countless weird and strange ghosts and sights, but he himself controlled the power of reincarnation and had no fear of any ghosts.
Wu Lingchong followed Su Yi closely, thinking in his heart, in the past years, has no one really left the lost city alive?
If so, will they also encounter something unexpected this time?
Fortunately, Wu Lingchong was not a person who was afraid of death, so he would not be frightened, but he was still nervous and tense inside.
The woman in the bamboo hat has been looking at the graves along the way.
In front of every tomb, there are tombstones, some of which only have a name engraved on them, while others not only have their names engraved on them, but also record the life events of the deceased.
Gradually, she deduced from the writings on the tombstones that the tombs she saw along the way were not only left by people from Taijing, but also by aboriginal people scattered in different places in the long history of the era!
During their lifetime, these aboriginal people were captured by their enemies and forced into the lost city to help the enemies explore the secrets of the lost city. In the end, they all died.
Here it is!
Until now, the woman in the bamboo hat has not found a tomb built by the gods.
There must be another mystery in this.
Um?
Suddenly, the woman in the bamboo hat stamped her feet and shouted in a trembling voice: "That...that is the tombstone erected by my father!"
She stepped forward and rushed to a tomb, staring at the tombstone in front of the tomb, her eyes like autumn water leaving two lines of clear tears.
On the tombstone, there is only one line of words engraved:
"The Tomb of Li Yong'an"!
This is the name of the woman’s father.
When Wu Lingchong saw this name, he was startled and remembered a rumor in his mind.
Li Yong'an, a peerless sword cultivator who shone in the long history of the ages, a semi-god-level existence, once worshiped in Tianjing Pavilion, one of the nine great sects, to practice.
This man was stunningly beautiful and accomplished many extraordinary feats. In just a hundred years, he became the chief elder of Tianjing Pavilion and entered the Kingdom of Eternal Day to practice!
At that time, some people even said that he would become a god after leaving Yong'an.
But later, something shocking happened that shocked the whole world. Li Yongan, the chief elder of Tianjing Pavilion, defected from Tianjing Pavilion!
It is said that Li Yongan stole an era fragment from Tianjing Pavilion in order to become a god. This incident caused shock in Tianjing Pavilion.
The "Panhu God" standing behind Tianjing Pavilion personally issued an order to arrest Li Yongan!
This incident caused a stir throughout the ages.
It was also from that time that Li Yongan, who became a traitor to Tianjing Pavilion, disappeared from the ages, and no one knew whether he was alive or dead.
Only then, when he saw the "Tomb of Li Yong'an", did Wu Lingchong realize that the unparalleled demigod sword cultivator was actually trapped in the lost city!
Realizing this, Wu Lingchong couldn't help but ask: "Girl, why did your father come to the lost city in the first place?"
The woman in the bamboo hat said: "In order to become a god."
Wu Lingchong was stunned, "According to rumors, he stole an era fragment from Tianjing Pavilion? Why did he come to the Lost City to take risks?"
The woman in the bamboo hat frowned and said: "My father is not a thief! That fragment of the era was originally found by my father from a restricted area. After knowing this, the master behind Tianjing Pavilion, the Panhu God, tried to take the fragment of the era as his own.
If so, then ask my father to hand over the era fragments voluntarily."
"My father's refusal made Panhu God angry, so he fabricated a crime and regarded my father as a traitor and ordered a hunt down."
"At the beginning, if my father hadn't had a premonition of something bad and escaped in advance, he would have almost been killed by Panhu God!"
Only then did Wu Lingchong realize that the truth turned out to be this.
He asked again: "But no matter what, your father has already obtained an era fragment, why do you still come to the Lost City?"
The woman in the bamboo hat had complicated eyes and said: "The quality of that epoch fragment is only at the sixth level. My father is such a proud and arrogant person that he simply cannot tolerate being trapped in the lower god level for the rest of his life when he becomes a god, so he never used it.
Therefore, you left that piece of era fragment to me."
"And my father resolutely chose to come to the Lost City in order to find higher-level era fragments..."
As she spoke, she burst into tears.
Seeing this tombstone, how could she not understand that her father had suffered in this lost city?
Wu Lingchong couldn't help but sigh, Li Yong'an was such an amazing semi-god-level swordsman, and he didn't even bother to refine sixth-level epoch fragments to become a god. One can imagine how proud he was.
But such a being met his fate in a city that has lost his homeland. How can this not make people feel sad?
