Approaching the mark, Lin Yan saw that there was a line of small words drawn by a weapon beside the mark. It was the words left behind by Liu Lanqing. The general meaning was that they would leave first. If Lin Yan saw the words, he had to follow carefully.
Liu Lanqing and the others naturally did not know about the Dragon Absorbing Water Pond. However, Lin Yan had mentioned it to them when they arrived at the ruins, so they knew they should leave in this direction.
Lin Yan immediately dove into the water and swam towards the tunnel.
The ground collapsed, and even this tunnel was buried. However, Liu Lanqing and the others had already left previously, so they should still be able to safely reach the underground mine.
With the help of the Black Tortoise Swimming the Mountains and Seas, Lin Yan moved quickly through the complicated underground rock formations as if he was walking on flat ground. Soon, he swam to the intact part of the underground cave and followed the water flow, quickly emerging from the Dragon Absorption Pond in the underground cave.
The moment he emerged from the water, Lin Yan’s eyes lit up. “1 caught you!”
The Southern Primordial Fire in his hand instantly rose and wrapped the jade statue in the middle of the flames, ruthlessly piercing it into a rock wall.
With a crack, the jade statue was embedded into the rock wall, smashing a huge pit in the rock wall. Dark water flowed out of the gap and fell down the cave.
Just now, the moment Lin Yan emerged from the water, the jade statue trembled slightly.
Lin Yan seemed to be casually holding the jade statue in his hand, but in fact, he was intentionally or unintentionally focusing his attention on the jade statue and monitoring its every move.
He had suspected from the beginning that the jade statue had deliberately walked on his path.
Xiaozhi had transformed into a jade statue herself, so this jade statue was very likely also transformed from a human or something else!
It appeared in the underground ruins of the Ancient Fan Nation, so Lin Yan suspected that it might be an item left behind by the Ancient Fan Nation!
As the matter involved Xiaozhi, even though he knew that this jade statue was strange, Lin Yan still took it away.
Now, he finally realized that there was a special movement!
The jade statue was very firm. On the way here, Lin Yan had secretly increased his strength to test it, so he was not worried that this smash would cause any damage to the jade statue.
After jumping out of the Dragon Absorbing Water pond, the surroundings were dark. Only the Spirit-s.n.a.t.c.hing Demonic Flame in his hand emitted white light, causing a phantom-like halo on the surrounding rock walls.
Lin Yan slowly walked out with a dark expression. He walked to the jade statue that he had smashed out of the pond. It had fallen next to rock wall.
The jade statue was motionless, like a dead thing. It lay on a black and yellow rock.
Lin Yan slowly squatted down. The Spirit-s.n.a.t.c.hing Demonic Flame approached the jade statue and stared at it without moving.
For a moment, in the narrow and dark underground tunnel, the man and the jade statue “looked at each other without saying anything”. It was completely silent.
Just like that, he stared at the jade statue for an unknown period of time, but there was no movement.
Lin Yan sneered. “Do you think I’ve forgotten what you were like before?”
The Spirit-s.n.a.t.c.hing Demonic Flame in his hand instantly transformed into the extremely hot Sun Burning True Flame, and the surrounding air immediately distorted.
Then, he reached out and grabbed the jade statue with the terrifying Sun Burning True Flame!
Suddenly, the jade statue seemed to have failed to play dead and was seen through halfway. It suddenly bounced up and wanted to jump deeper into the ground!
Swoosh!
However, Lin Yan was faster than him. His other hand grabbed the jade statue at lightning speed!
Creak, creak. The jade statue struggled crazily. Its body was extremely hard. Even though it was cracked everywhere, when it struggled, it rubbed against the Black Tortoise Divine Armor in Lin Yan’s palm, producing the sound of extremely hard objects rubbing and colliding.
However, such a hard jade statue could actually act like a real person. The movements of its limbs were extremely strange.
Lin Yan’s face was cold and unmoved. He had long been guarding against its actions and couldn’t be bothered to say a word. The Sun Burning True Flame in his other hand slowly grabbed at the jade statue!
The jade statue’s entire body suddenly stiffened, and it actually began to tremble. It clearly displayed fear. Its indistinct part, probably its head, began to shake crazily.
The oppressive heat of the Sun Burning True Flame had already invaded the side of the jade statue, causing the cracked surface to begin to glow red.
Suddenly, a strange fluctuation transmitted from the jade statue in his hand into Lin Yan’s body.
A childish voice whose gender was unknown sounded in Lin Yan’s mind. “Hot, hot, hot! Hold on, hold on! Wait, don’t burn me!”
Only then did Lin Yan reveal a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He had guessed that the jade statue could move, so not only was he not shocked when he saw it, but he also reached out to grab it as if he had expected it.
However, the jade statue could actually transmit a voice to his mind through a strange method. This really shocked him.
He could not help but recall what w.a.n.g Yue said about the illusion technique.
Pausing the approach of the Sun Burning True Flame, Lin Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice, “You can hear me?”
“Yes, yes!”
“Who are you?”
“rm—”
The voice seemed to be confused for a moment. In the next moment, it suddenly raised its head. Its voice was high-spirited, as if it had endless pride.
“I am a natural emperor, the supreme ruler of Fan Nation!”
Lin Yan’s pupils constricted slightly. Emperor?
The emperor that old monk w.a.n.g Yue mentioned?
