Upon inspecting the mysterious man’s face again, Yun Ran couldn’t help but feel that his face seed shrouded in a layer of fog.
It was impossible to see his true Life Chart through this face.
She could only suppress her doubts for the mont and continue downwards.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Ran recognized a familiar face, but the face she saw looked rather ghastly. Had she not just seen Tan Chengbi alive and kicking, she might have thought this was the person himself.
The man hanging there was the spitting image of Tan Chengbi, unmistakably from the Tan Family, who should have been unimpeded in their ways, but now were in a sorry state, suspended here.
Now Yun Ran understood why the Tan Family had paid such a hefty price to involve the Xie Family, prompting the Special Administration Bureau to co to Yinghua Country.
This man, who looked like an Immortal, had crazy audacity to lay his hands on the direct descendants of the Tan Family—those born into the world’s finest resources were bound to be scared.
"Do you recognize the person hanging there?"
Yun Ran nodded, seeing no need to hide it: "Yes, I’ve seen another person who looks exactly the sa."
The man unexpectedly said out of the blue, "All these people, they are born guilty."
Fortunately, the Immortal-looking man harbored no intention of killing Yun Ran. As soon as he finished speaking, he continued to guide her further down.
As they walked, Yun Ran finally sensed sothing amiss.
It turned out that this huge and vacant underground fortress was actually a mysterious altar, surrounded by countless ancient artifacts, so resembling bronze.
From the traces on these artifacts, it appeared they had been hidden here for a very long ti, not recently moved from elsewhere.
Sohow, Yun Ran’s heart began to tremble slightly, and her hairs stood on end.
The altar instilled in her a fear deep from within her bloodline, as though disaster was imminent.
Ginsengfruit was also nervous: [Host, this altar possesses trendous power, I’m afraid we are truly in for a disaster this ti.]
The last ti Ginsengfruit had felt such a looming threat was when Yun Ran summoned her ancestor.
The Immortal-looking man turned toward Yun Ran, noting the fear emanating from her at the mont.
He didn’t believe that Yun Ran’s fear was the sa as the fear of those he had captured before, so she must have recognized the altar.
"So, you recognize this altar?"
Seemingly recalling sothing, a hint of reminiscence appeared in the man’s eyes.
He murmured to himself softly, "It’s not easy, I thought I was the only one in this world who knew about this altar."
Yun Ran looked around and shook her head, "No, I do not know this altar. I just feel it’s very dangerous."
anwhile, the Female Ghost King hiding beside Yun Ran, had already suppressed her very presence to the extre.
Even the Water Dragon Spirit, which had always been sowhat at odds with Yun Ran, was now as silent as a mouse, as if it didn’t exist at all.
The man paid no attention to Yun Ran’s looking around.
He walked straight to the center of the altar, where there was an object resembling a trough. He casually sliced open his palm, allowing his blood to trickle down the trough and into the depths of the altar.
Just then, the surrounding artifacts lit up. Although Yun Ran did not recognize the patterns on them, she could feel the imnse power they were releasing.
Yun Ran’s fear grew increasingly palpable as she quietly stepped back a few paces.
The man’s blood seed to trigger so chanism, and the entire sacrificial altar trembled slightly as if coming to life.
Yun Ran felt the altar, now animated, was sapping the vitality from her body. She wanted to continue retreating, but her feet were rooted to the spot.
With tangible fear, Yun Ran beca instead more composed. A person like her, even when facing a hopeless situation, would never give in without a fight,
Even in death, she was determined to stir up trouble, striking a fatal blow to her adversary.
Yun Ran drew out her Peach Wood Sword, her eyes resolute and unwavering.
Observing Yun Ran pull out the Peach Wood Sword, a flicker of surprise crossed the man’s face as he hadn’t expected the legendary Mustard Space to truly exist.
"It seems you aren’t just any ordinary Xuann person."
Yun Ran’s Peach Wood Sword emitted a beam of sword light, shooting directly towards the altar.
The sword light from the Peach Wood Sword could even cause the Water Dragon Dragon Spirit so pain.
But to the man, this sword light seed like a re tickle, not even sufficient to make him take a step back.
As Yun Ran released the sword light, the Little Papern were all set free at this mont, their bodies faintly emanating strands of rit Golden Light.
Previously, the Little Papern were hurt by so of the positive energy of the Array. Yun Ran had given them a sliver of rit Golden Light to protect their entire bodies.
With this protection, the Array had only limited damage on the Little Papern.
Without any other assistance, the Little Papern were the best help to her.
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, having thought Yun Ran was docile and sensible, only to find she was soone bristling with defensive spikes.
He spoke with an unfriendly tone: "It seems you still haven’t learned what it’s called to be wise according to circumstances."
Yun Ran disregarded his words as barking, her hand brandishing the sword once more. This ti, however, she infused the sword light with a tinge of rit.
The man had no intention of dodging the sword light, until he saw the rit Golden Light within it, which made him briefly sidestep.
"Unexpectedly, you possess rit. This is perfect; with your rit as a blessing, my chances of success are much higher."
But what he did not know was that Yun Ran’s attack was rely a feint.
The Little Papern, appearing to attack him, were actually turning around to retreat when they got close.
They were simply there to rescue the humans suspended in mid-air.
The man’s expression was no longer indifferent: "No one has ever managed to rescue the people I want from here. If you don’t wish to die, just be obedient; otherwise, you’ll be crushed by the Array and your body and spirit will be completely destroyed."
As the man’s words ended, Yun Ran finally noticed several majestic statues on the walls surrounding the altar.
They were of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu. As the statues began to shine faintly, Yun Ran turned to flee.
The altar was far more dangerous than she had anticipated. As the light flashed, pressures from the Divine Beasts bore down on her simultaneously.
Yun Ran was pinned to the ground by this overwhelming force, utterly immobilized, her situation looking dire, but she did not bow her head.
Still looking up at the man, her tone carried the arrogance of a Xuann prodigy: "Thinking of killing ? It won’t be that easy!"
