Chapter 280: Arriving at the Land of Sacred Falling!
With her decision made, Xiao Yixian directly addressed the two men, "How about you two lead the way for me? When we reach that place, if there truly are ruins, you can also enter to seek opportunities."
"This...," Upon hearing Xiao Yixian's words, both men wore uneasy expressions.
After all, having such a terrifying powerhouse accompanying them made anyone feel uncomfortable.
"What's wrong? You two seem reluctant?" Seeing the expressions on their faces, Xiao Yixian's eyebrows slightly furrowed, her voice turning cold.
Feeling the chill in Xiao Yixian's words, the two men felt a shiver down their spines and quickly nodded, saying, "We're willing, we're willing! To travel with the esteemed senior is our fortune!"
"Alright, lead the way!" Xiao Yixian said lightly, a sly smile appearing on her face as she turned away.
...
Sweet City was thousands of miles away from the Land of Sacred Falling, as mentioned by the two men. Xiao Yixian followed them for nearly two days before arriving nearby.
They were now deep within the Fallen Forest, where poisonous creatures were more abundant than usual. However, with Xiao Yixian's protection, their pace did not slow down at all.
At this moment, the two men were becoming increasingly awestruck by Xiao Yixian's strength.
Throughout their journey, hardly any magical beasts or poisonous creatures could withstand even a couple of moves from Xiao Yixian. Moreover, the poisonous mists released by some terrifying creatures were all absorbed by Xiao Yixian.
Suddenly, the chubby man stopped and said to Xiao Yixian, "Esteemed senior, a few more miles ahead is the Land of Sacred Falling that my friend mentioned. My friend's family has been living there for generations."
"Mm!" Hearing the man's words, Xiao Yixian nodded lightly. In the next moment, her purple Dou Qi wings spread out abruptly, and she soared into the sky above the forest.
From high above, Xiao Yixian's vision fell upon a small village. The people in the village, regardless of age or gender, were all dressed quite modestly. Next to some of the houses were sheds used for breeding. However, the creatures being raised in these sheds were not poultry or livestock, but rather large, poisonous creatures.
Farther away in the sky, Xiao Yixian seemed to see a faint, colorful glow.
This discovery filled Xiao Yixian with excitement.
Perhaps, that faint, colorful glow was a sign of the ruins appearing.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yixian flew directly over the small village ahead and headed towards the direction of the colorful glow.
The spot emitting the colorful glow was located on a small valley. As Xiao Yixian gradually approached the sky above the valley, she distinctly felt a tremendous sense of oppression emanating from that direction.
Out of caution, Xiao Yixian descended to the ground about five or six miles away from that area of the sky.
Back on the ground, Xiao Yixian glanced at the distant colorful glow in the sky and muttered to herself, "This place is truly mysterious. It seems I'll have to wait until the ruins are fully opened before I can explore it!"
...
On the other side, after Xiao Yixian left, the chubby and thin middle-aged men arrived at the village ahead.
As soon as the two men entered the village, a robust man with long, bushy beard walked over with a smile. The other people in the village seemed to pay little attention to the two men, continuing their tasks as if nothing had happened.
"Haha, Brother Pang, it's only been a few days since we parted ways in Sweet City. I didn't expect you to come visit so soon!"
The robust man approached the two men with a cheerful greeting, "Brother Shikui, this time I've brought some fine wine from Sweet City specifically for you!" As he spoke, the chubby man presented several jars of wine to Shikui.
"Brother Pang, you're too kind." Shikui smiled as he accepted the wine from the chubby man's hand. Then, he curiously looked at the thin man beside him and asked, "Brother Pang, who is this?"
"Brother Shikui, I'm Chu Lian. I've known Brother Pang for over ten years, so you can just call me Chu!" The thin man smiled as he spoke to Shikui.
"Alright, since you're brought here by Brother Pang, you're a friend of mine, Shikui." Shikui patted the shoulders of the two men and then led them into the village.
"Brother Shikui, you didn't mention what we talked about last time to anyone else, did you?" As they walked, Pang Wu suddenly asked.
"What thing?" Shikui was momentarily puzzled, then suddenly realized, and hastily said, "Brother Pang, you mean the matter of the nine-colored rainbow?"
"Yes, that's it, the matter of the nine-colored rainbow!"
"That day in Sweet City, I think I mentioned it to Ma Liu, who works at the Ma Family!" Shikui recalled.
"The Ma Family, Ma Dayuan's people..."
Upon hearing Shikui's reply, Pang Wu began muttering to himself.
He wondered if Ma Liu would inform Ma Dayuan about this matter. If Ma Dayuan were to come, things could get troublesome.
"What's wrong, Brother Pang? Do you feel something is amiss?" Noticing Pang Wu's change in expression, Shikui asked with confusion.
"It's nothing, let's go drink!" Pang Wu shook his head, avoiding the topic.
...
Xiao Yixian waited in the forest for a day and a night. On the second day, just as dawn was breaking, the nine-colored glow above the valley suddenly dimmed.
Immediately after, violent tremors shook the valley, startling Xiao Yixian.
This commotion also alarmed everyone in the nearby village.
In an instant, all the villagers rushed out of their homes and looked toward the direction of the valley with puzzled expressions.
Meanwhile, Pang Wu and Chu Lian had quietly approached the valley the previous night while everyone was asleep.
In the sight of Xiao Yixian, Pang Wu, and Chu Lian, a transparent, wrinkled substance gradually appeared above the valley. Then, an inexplicable force emanated from within the transparent wrinkles.
Under this unknown force, the valley suddenly collapsed, followed by a bizarre fracturing of the surrounding trees.
Seeing this scene, fear flashed in Xiao Yixian's eyes, and she instinctively stepped back.
After the terrifying wave of unknown energy passed, the valley had turned into a flatland. The space seemed like a vacuum zone.
Eventually, a dark and profound crack appeared in the sky above.
