Chapter 3783: What a coincidence
“Jin Yexue, what a good name!” Tang Yan praised, as he pushed aside the water plants and continued onwards.
This was a stretch of water gra.s.s, which was tall and dense. After travelling for half a minute, the eyes of the three lit up, and a golden pillar appeared.
It was about six meters tall, and as thick as a thigh.
“Ling Han, it’s here!” Tang Yan said to Ling Han.
“Yi, you guys are looking for this thing?” Jin Yexue asked curiously.
Tang Yan chuckled, “This is all thanks to you. Otherwise, if we had to find this place on our own, we would probably have to search for a good few days.”
Visibility was greatly affected at the bottom of the lake, and the golden pillar was standing in the dense underbrush, which was really hard to find.
Ling Han glanced at Jin Yexue, and a question flashed through his mind. However, he didn’t say it out loud.
At present, Tang Yan was very keen on expressing himself. Though he was the Little Marquis, now that he had met the woman he liked, his performance was also like all men in love. His intelligence had seriously declined, and his desire to express himself was soaring.
He gripped the golden pillar, and began to spin it.
Three on the left, nine on the right.
Ka, ka, ka! Suddenly, there was the sound of gears turning. That golden pillar slowly descended, right until it had completely disappeared.
Boom, a louder sound was heard, like an earthquake.
No, this really seemed like an earthquake. A powerful wave rose up in the water, causing the three of them to tremble slightly.
However, Ling Han and Tang Yan were both elites of Celestial Path, and Jin Yexue was not inferior either. She was shockingly also a Cauldron Forging Tier. When the waves crashed onto her, she was completely unaffected, and only swayed slightly.
Ling Han didn’t use his eyes to observe, but he continued to observe with his divine sense. When Tang Yan spun the golden pillar just then, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of pleasant surprise appeared on her beautiful face.
At present, Ling Han was not sure what this pleasant surprise actually meant, but he was sure that it was definitely not as simple as she had said, how she had accidentally come here for fis.h.i.+ng.
Hong long long, the mountains shook and the ground shook, incredibly intense.
“Yi, it seems like the bottom of the lake is rising!” Tang Yan said.
At first, they were floating in the water, but now, their feet were standing on the mud. There was a force pus.h.i.+ng them upwards at an extremely fast speed, causing them to feel a clear pus.h.i.+ng force.
About ten minutes later, a loud splash was heard, and the three of them actually broke through the water surface!
Hiss!
They looked ahead, and all of them looked stunned. That was because there was a group of buildings ahead of them. The walls of gold were brilliant, and they were presently standing in the plaza of this group of buildings. At this moment, the mud was dispersing like water, revealing floor tiles that were as white as jade.
It was not the whole lake that had risen, but rather an area within the lake. It was like an island had suddenly risen up in the lake, and its surface area was really not small either.
“This is… what ancient site is this?” Tang Yan murmured.
The three of them walked forwards. After walking past this plaza, a wall blocked their path. They turned towards the main doors, and saw two words were written on the plaque of the doors: “Jin Manor”.
Jin Manor?
Ling Han and Tang Yan both turned to look at Jin Yexue, their expressions filled with strong questions.
This was the Jin Manor, and this woman’s surname was Jin. Moreover, she had been injured because of the golden pillar from before… With all this added together, how could Ling Han and Tang Yan not suspect that this woman had no relations.h.i.+p with the Jin Manor?
Jin Yexue took a deep breath, then nodded, and said, “That’s right. This is the ancestral grounds of our Jin Clan. I have not come to catch some treasure fish, but rather to find our lost ancestral grounds.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Who doesn’t have a bit of vigilance?” Tang Yan smiled and played mediator, “No wonder you were able to find this place. We followed the map and searched for a very long time.”
Jin Yexue smiled bitterly, and said, “In order to find the lost ancestral grounds, the clan has been searching for generation after generation. It was only in my generation that I finally found the location. However, I was unable to enter. Instead, I was knocked unconscious.” She paused, then continued, “When I saw you guys, I was suspicious. This place is so remote, so how did you guys come here? Could it be that you guys have obtained the lost ancestral map of the Jin Clan? Thus, after you guys invited me, I took advantage of the situation and brought you guys here.”
F***, how could things be so coincidental? They actually encountered the descendant of this treasure trove while searching for it.
Ling Han and Tang Yan exchanged looks. Then what were they now? Thieves?
Yet Jin Yexue took the initiative to say, “Though this is the ancestral grounds of our Jin Clan, it has been too many years, and secondly, I do not have the slightest understanding of this place either, so I am not qualified to call myself owner of this place at all. Come to think of it, it is still because of you that I have been able to see the ancestral grounds again. So, why don’t we explore together, and share the gains we obtain?”
“All right.” Ling Han and Tang Yan exchanged a look, and nodded at the same time.
“Alright,” Jin Yexue said with a smile. It was as if 100 flowers had bloomed at the same time, and she appeared especially captivating.
Tang Yan was slightly dazed, and only came back to his senses after being nudged by Ling
Han.
“Let’s take a look now.” Ling Han took out the Cold Water Metal, because he wasn’t sure if opening this door required a special technique.
There was indeed a change in the image on the Cold Water Metal, but it was not focused on the main doors. Going by the look of things, there was no need for any special technique to enter the main doors.
“I’ll go,” Tang Yan said. He was very willing to show off in front of beautiful women. After he knew that there was no danger at the main doors, he immediately rushed forwards to push the
doors open.
A creak was heard, and there was a rustle of dust as the great doors were slowly pushed open. The three of them walked through the doors, and what appeared in front of them was a garden that had already withered. In the past, this place should have been very beautiful. Multiple flowerbeds were decorated in a unique manner, and had an indescribable charm to them.
Ling Han gave a ‘yi’, and said, “Don’t move.”
“What is it?” Tang Yan did not mind, and took a step forwards.
Shua, a streak of light blasted towards him at an astonis.h.i.+ng speed.
Tang Yan was unable to dodge, and he was instantly struck head-on. However, a ball of light also flickered on his body, turning into a screen of light that blocked the light that was
a.s.sailing him.
Tang Yan’s face paled in fright, and he hurriedly stepped back. “F*ck! I almost died once!” He had a life-saving treasure on him, and it would only activate automatically when he encountered life-threatening danger. It was that treasure that had activated just now, saving
his life.
“That attack definitely reached the level of the Core Formation Tier. If it weren’t for the treasure my grandfather gave me, I would definitely be dead!” He was filled with lingering
fear.
Ling Han sighed, “Can’t you take it easy?”
This guy’s behavior was a little abnormal. Looks like if one met someone he liked, his brain
would really fail.
“Hehe, wasn’t it because I didn’t see any danger either?” Tang Yan argued. From the image on the Cold Water Metal just now, they were still far from reaching that place, so he had been
a little careless.
Ling Han said with a serious expression, “There’s a formation set up here. If one doesn’t think of a way to break through it, or doesn’t follow the rules, they’ll be attacked. Just calculate how many more times that treasure can be used.”
Tang Yan smiled sheepishly. Though there was no limit to the number of times he could use the treasure on him, a s.h.i.+eld could only be activated every minute. Thus, as long as the attacks were concentrated, it would definitely be unable to block them.
“Yi, you’re also a Formation Master?” He suddenly turned around.
