Chapter 620: Mysterious Connection!
At this moment, Zhen Yun took out a map of Jiangnan, and compared it with the locations shown on the Soul-Seeking Map to identify the target area.
“The last Spirit Stone is in Jiang City! Let’s depart immediately!” Zhen Yun said with a cold smile on his face.
…
In the wilderness of western Jiangnan.
Two figures descended from the sky, landing on a small hill below.
Of these two figures, one had a graceful silhouette, clearly a woman.
The other was tall and imposing. Although wearing a black robe, his strong muscles were still visible beneath the clothing.
The woman landed on the mountaintop first, standing firmly.
“Boom!”
The man landed next, and with one step actually caused the entire mountain to collapse!
The woman’s expression changed slightly as she activated her true energy to float in the air.
She cast a flirtatious glance at the rugged-looking man beside her and said in a coquettish voice: “Brother Ming truly deserves to be one of the high-level guardians most trusted by the Immortal, indeed impressively powerful.”
Ming He turned to look at the woman beside him, grinned, and said in a deep, rich voice: “My power is not demonstrated in this way.”
“Hmm… Brother Ming is joking again, I’m so embarrassed.” The woman turned her face away, pretending to be shy.
“Hahaha…” Ming He laughed heartily and said, “Han Meiren, truly living up to your reputation, your charm techniques are incredibly powerful!”
“How dare I use charm techniques on you, Brother Ming? Wouldn’t that be seeking death?” Han Meiren covered her mouth and laughed.
After joking around for quite a while, Ming He became serious and said: “The Immortal has given us two tasks. First, wait for the ancient spirit ruins in Jiangnan to open, and capture spirit beasts. Second, deal with Fang Changsheng.”
“Then, Brother Ming, which task should we complete first?” Han Meiren asked.
“The first one, of course. Spirit beasts are extremely valuable to our entire Semi-Spirit Clan.” Ming He sneered and said, “As for Fang Changsheng, let him live a little longer for now.”
“I’ll follow your lead,” Han Meiren said coquettishly.
Ming He glanced at Han Meiren and swallowed, but dared not do anything inappropriate.
Although Han Meiren was just a woman, she was also one of the high-level guardians under the Immortal, extremely dangerous.
With this woman, he absolutely could not truly develop feelings, otherwise he would fall into her charm techniques and die a miserable death.
“Let’s go, first to the location of the spirit ruins,” Ming He said, his eyes quickly regaining clarity.
…
After lunch, Fang Yu temporarily left Wang Yan’s home, but promised to return for dinner.
The reason he left Wang Yan’s home was because he had received a text message.
The message was sent from an unknown number.
“I need your help with something, let’s meet.”
That was the entire content of the message.
After leaving Lijiang Residential Area, Fang Yu called this number.
After about two or three seconds, the call was answered.
“Who are you?” Fang Yu asked directly.
“I’m… Hong Lian,” the other party answered.
“Hong Lian? Xiao Hong?” Fang Yu was startled, then remembered the phoenix spirit beast and said.
“I’m not Xiao Hong, I’m Hong Lian,” the other party said with some annoyance.
“Same thing. What do you want from me?” Fang Yu asked.
“I… have something I want to talk to you about,” Hong Lian said.
“Just tell me what it is,” Fang Yu countered.
“It’s not convenient to talk over the phone. Where are you now? I’ll come find you,” Hong Lian said.
“I’m in Jiangnan,” Fang Yu answered.
“Jiangnan? I’m in Jiangnan too. Tell me your exact location and I’ll come right away,” Hong Lian said.
“No need, I’ll come find you. I’m faster,” Fang Yu said.
“…Alright, I’m in Baotian City, at the Baotian Museum…” Hong Lian gave him a location.
“Good, I’ll be there soon.” After saying this, Fang Yu hung up the phone.
Opening the map on his phone, Fang Yu quickly located the position.
Then, he activated the Void Ring and teleported to Baotian City in northern Jiangnan, to the Baotian Museum.
…
Baotian Museum.
This was a landmark building in Baotian City, and also a famous museum in Jiangnan.
In this museum, one could see fossils of many types of extinct animals.
Today was the weekend, and there were quite a few tourists visiting the museum.
Standing in front of the museum was a beautiful girl wearing a white dress with fiery red hair, attracting the attention of many visitors.
Many men stared at this girl’s pure and beautiful face, almost forgetting to enter the museum.
This girl was Hong Lian.
Since her encounter with the Source Devourer at the Burial Ground of Ten Thousand Spirits, she had been on high alert.
She knew she needed to live a low-profile life to avoid being hunted by the Source Devourer.
But this time, she had no choice but to come out.
A week ago, Hong Lian suddenly received some kind of sensation.
At that time, Hong Lian was staying in a primitive area in the western part of the Nine Provinces.
This sensation appeared very mysteriously, yet was extremely clear.
It guided her along a path, leading her to Jiangnan.
As time passed, this sensation emerging from her marrow became increasingly obvious and intense.
It seemed to be some kind of signal, but Hong Lian couldn’t perceive its true meaning!
Especially in the past few days, this sensation had reached its peak!
Hong Lian could hardly remain calm, her heart constantly racing, never slowing down!
This made her very anxious and uncomfortable.
With no other options, she finally thought of Fang Yu.
Although she didn’t know much about Fang Yu, she had witnessed his skills and had close contact with him, knowing he wasn’t a bad person.
She had to talk about this matter and find a way to resolve it.
Otherwise, her mind would explode from this sensation!
“Pat!”
Someone tapped Hong Lian on the shoulder.
Hong Lian turned around and saw Fang Yu.
“Looks like you’ve adapted well to the human living environment. Your fashion sense is even more modern than mine,” Fang Yu said.
“There are too many people here. Let’s find a quieter place to talk,” Hong Lian said.
“No need. We can use true energy to communicate telepathically, it’s the same anywhere. I’m actually quite interested in this museum, let’s go in and walk around,” Fang Yu said.
As he spoke, Fang Yu was already walking into the museum.
Hong Lian bit her lip, having no choice but to follow him.
At this moment, the men who had been quietly observing Hong Lian all sighed.
So this girl standing at the museum entrance was indeed waiting for her boyfriend.
…
“What did you want to tell me? Go ahead,” Fang Yu said as they walked.
Hong Lian organized her thoughts and explained her current situation truthfully.
“This sensation… does it still guide you somewhere now?” After listening, Fang Yu asked.
“No. After I arrived in Baotian City, that sensation stopped giving directions,” Hong Lian answered.
“Then it means this place is where it wanted you to come,” Fang Yu said.
“Who is ‘it’?” Hong Lian’s beautiful eyes widened, her dark red pupils filled with confusion.
“The entity sending you signals, of course. How would I know who it is?” Fang Yu asked in return.
Hong Lian deflated and said: “It seems you’re just as clueless. I thought you might be able to help me.”
Fang Yu didn’t respond, but instead looked up at a huge fossil displayed in front of them.
From the skeletal structure, this fossil appeared to be some kind of bird.
Fang Yu glanced at the information plaque below.
Flame Eagle, extinct 8,000 years ago, mainly distributed throughout the Nine Provinces…
Fang Yu turned to Hong Lian and asked: “Does this Flame Eagle have any connection to your Phoenix Clan?”
Hong Lian was feeling irritable and didn’t want to answer this question.
But when she looked up and saw the fossil before her, her expression changed.
This wasn’t a Flame Eagle at all, but a Qingluang from her Phoenix Clan!
The Qingluang was one of the top groups within the Phoenix Clan, only outranked by the direct lineage of the divine Phoenix!
And the Qingluang clan had indeed disappeared nearly ten thousand years ago.
Hong Lian never expected that today, she would see the remains of her clan’s ancestors in this way.
“This is…”
Driven by a sensation deep in her bloodline, Hong Lian involuntarily walked forward, reaching out to touch the Qingluang’s bones.
“If you do that, the museum security will throw you out,” Fang Yu warned from behind.
But Hong Lian couldn’t hear Fang Yu’s voice at all. She walked straight to the front of the Qingluang remains and reached out her right hand toward the bones.
A nearby security guard quickly noticed Hong Lian’s movement, his expression changing as he hurried over, shouting: “What are you doing?! These fossils cannot be touched…”
By then, Hong Lian’s right hand had already touched the bones.
“Hum…”
The entire skeleton began to vibrate violently, emitting a powerful light!
“Boom!”
Then, an extremely powerful energy burst from the ground beneath the Qingluang remains!
