Chapter 27: The Mysterious Ancient City

Landing on the other side of the river, Ye Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief, so far, he was afraid of the headless ancient corpse he had encountered before.

After calming down, Ye Qingtian looked up, and there was still a Gobi in front of him, full of rocks.

It's just that what Ye Qingtian didn't notice was that after he stepped across the hundred-meter river, the corpse in the ice crystal coffin that sank under the water had a strange smile on his face.

Rustling...

After a while, Ye Qingtian found that there was an abnormality behind him, and there was a subtle sound of quicksand.

I couldn't help but look back, but I was shocked.

The river, which was originally wide, is now disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it has been buried and refilled, but it is perfectly integrated with the neighbors on both sides.

Ye Qingtian's heart was beating violently, and a river disappeared in front of his eyes, making him feel incredible.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the river vanished completely, and, far away from where he had arrived, the forest of trees was fading.

Ye Qingtian Mu Ne looked at everything that was happening in front of him, and now, all that appeared in front of him was a desert, and even the next door under his feet had completely turned into yellow sand.

In all directions, yellow sand was everywhere, and the hurricane began to howl, kicking up a cloud of sand and dust.

Ye Qingtian's black hair danced with the wind, and he didn't care at all about the wind and sand pouring into his clothes.

"I've come somewhere. Ye Qingtian was secretly surprised in his heart, and slowly came back to his senses.

Thundered...

There was a roar, and suddenly the mountains shook, and the yellow sand began to tremble violently, as if a strong earthquake had occurred.

Ye Qingtian frowned, turned around, the sand and dust in the distance were filled, wrapped in a hurricane, and a city was gradually rising in the sand.

Perhaps seeing the disappearance of the river and the sudden change of the world, Ye Qingtian did not feel too shocked at this time.

He was now convinced that he had entered a place full of strangeness.

Facing the wind and sand, Ye Qingtian walked in the direction of the city step by step, since he had come here, he simply figured it out.

The city was still rising, and when Ye Qingtian came to the city, he was able to see the whole picture.

This is an ancient giant city, the city walls are more than 100 zhang high, the whole exudes a sense of vicissitudes of time, and the ancient atmosphere permeates the surroundings.

On the city wall, there are countless scarred sword marks, many of which have been worn out and blurred, but it can be imagined that this city has experienced countless wars countless years ago.

On the city gate, the name of the city is not marked, and it is empty, which is also simple and shows the vicissitudes of life, perhaps because the words have long been worn out, and now it is no longer visible.

The gates of the city were wide open, and at a glance, the wind and sand gathered inside, and the stones on both sides of the ground were flying sideways, and it was impossible to see a single intact building.

Ye Qingtian entered step by step, not daring to take it lightly, this place was too strange, there was a thick blood smell in these wind and sand, and even a foul smell.

The divine consciousness slowly released out, and it was certain that there was no living thing around except him, that is, these winds and sands had existed for countless years and had not dissipated.

A person's blood and qi are integrated into the wind and sand, and after such a long time, they still have not volatilized, which is enough to show that the party is a strong person whose strength has reached.

Boom...

The wind and sand blew down a pile of broken walls not far from Ye Qingtian, and huge stones fell to the ground, making a muffled sound.

Ye Qingtian was taken aback, and after noticing it, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked in the direction where the stone landed.

It used to be a palace, and there were still some broken artifacts left around it, and although it had collapsed with a bang, the rubble on the ground could be seen.

Ye Qingtian walked over cautiously, and when he came to the pile of rocks, he suddenly hugged a hard object under his feet, so that he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Stabilizing his body, Ye Qingtian turned his head and looked at his feet.

"The hilt of the sword?"

Ye Qingtian was surprised, the thing that mixed him just now was a sword hilt, maybe he could only see a sword hilt, and the lower half of his body was submerged in the sand.

With doubts, he pulled it out and held it in his hand, slightly heavy.

The blade of the sword was only more than two feet long, and there was a smooth gap on it, and I don't know where the rest went.

Ye Qingtian took the broken sword and looked at it, but he didn't find anything special, and it was already covered with rust.

Looking around again, Ye Qingtian did not find any other weapons, that is to say, for a long time, only this rusty broken sword has been preserved.

Whew...

Suddenly, the hurricane in the city began to roar, the wind became even stronger, and Ye Qingtian raised his hand to block the wind and sand. But inadvertently, I saw a white figure in the wind and sand in the sky, and swept it by.

Ye Qingtian's scalp suddenly exploded, this giant city that emerged from under the ground, after such a long time, even the stones have decayed, and there are still people in it.

Ye Qingtian didn't dare to step forward easily, judging from the wind, there should be a storm outside the giant city, and it was impossible to get out at this time.

Staying under a collapsed corner, Ye Qingtian decided to wait for the storm to stop, then go out, and then find a way to leave this place.

It's full of weirdness here, and with his current strength, he can't do anything at all.

The storm lasted for a long time, and before he knew it, Ye Qingtian fell asleep in the corner of the wall in a trance.

It wasn't until the night came, a bright moon rose in the sky, and a cool breeze suddenly blew that Ye Qingtian woke up.

Opening his eyes, Ye Qingtian stood up, at this time the storm outside had stopped, the wind and sand in the city had also stopped, and there was silence all around.

Through the moonlight, Ye Qingtian could clearly see the surrounding scenes, but the darkness around him made him feel terrified.

In the darkness, it seemed that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him, which made Ye Qingtian feel terrified and a chill down his spine.

"No, it's not what you saw during the day. After Ye Qingtian looked around, his hair suddenly stood upside down, and cold sweat gradually deepened on his forehead.

During the day, all Ye Qingtian saw was ruins, rocks everywhere, and there was a thick layer of yellow sand on the ground.

But now, Ye Qingtian saw that in the depths of the city, there were outlines of palace houses in the darkness, that is to say, during the period when Ye Qingtian was sleeping, changes occurred in the depths of the city, and a large number of palace houses appeared out of thin air.

Coming to the city gate, Ye Qingtian looked out of the city, but it was dark, a hazy mist rose inside, and the moonlight could not shine on the ground at all.

Hiss...

Just as Ye Qingtian was staring, a pitch-black figure suddenly rushed out from the darkness outside the city.

All over his body, there was no clothing, his face was covered with black scales, and he had six eyes that emitted a faint green light, his skin was dark, like oil, and he dragged a tail behind his back.

The creature opened its bloody mouth and bared its fangs, which was terrifying.

Ye Qingtian was startled by this sudden thing, and took several steps back, but when the creature approached the city gate, it stopped, wanting to come in, but stopped again, as if it was afraid of something.

In the end, the creature glanced at Ye Qingtian a few times, and then disappeared into the darkness again, but at this time, Ye Qingtian could already clearly see that in the dark fog outside the city, there were countless figures wandering.

"Whew..."

Ye Qingtian let out a sigh of relief and calmed down, it was impossible to go out now.

In the darkness outside, I don't know what else exists.

Helpless, Ye Qingtian turned his head and looked into the depths of the city, and through the moonlight, the buildings inside became clearer.

It was two neat rows of houses, and in the deepest part stood a magnificent palace.

The doors and windows of the house are closed, and there is a faint light on the two floors of the palace, but in the second floor.

"Is there really anyone living in this city?" Ye Qingtian was shocked, and took a step towards the depths.

Walking on the street, there is a dead silence, and from time to time you will see a stall of blood that has dried up for I don't know how many years and has completely blackened the floor tiles under your feet.

Ye Qingtian's breathing became a little heavy at this time, and as he went deeper, the more he felt creepy, and the feeling of being stared at became even stronger.

Boom......

Just when Ye Qingtian had already come to the middle of many houses and faced the magnificent hall, a bell suddenly sounded in the air.

The melodious sound of the bell is endless, constantly floating in the city, with a sense of solemnity.

"Daoyin!"

Ye Qingtian suddenly raised his head and looked into the air, but he didn't find what he wanted to see.

There was nothing in the sky except a bright moon.

Ye Qingtian is familiar with the rhythm of music, and naturally knows what Dao sound is, this kind of sound, containing the supreme avenue, has the blessing of Dao rhyme, which can make people's hearts empty and bright, and it is easier to comprehend the mysteries above the avenue.

It's just that Dao sounds are generally only emitted by supreme Dao weapons, and supreme Dao weapons, in addition to the few recorded in history, the only thing Ye Qingtian has seen so far is the earth-shattering tripod enshrined by the Dongshan clan.

Now, there was a sudden sound here, which naturally made him think that there was a supreme Taoist weapon in this city.

Boom...

When Ye Qingtian was thinking, the bell rang once, and then among the surrounding houses, a light suddenly lit up, and then, lines began to spread all over the houses, streets, and extended to the city wall.

The sudden appearance of the light made the surroundings suddenly light up, Ye Qingtian didn't know why, kept looking around, and fell into a place of surprise.

Squeak...

The closed door of the house behind Ye Qingtian suddenly opened, and immediately after, the doors of the surrounding houses also opened.

Da Da...

The sound of neat footsteps, with the crisp sound of metal crashing, came as a group of soldiers stepped out of the room.

Each soldier was wrapped in black armor, and even his face wore a strange mask, revealing only a pair of hollow eyes.

The soldiers, marching in unison and holding a pole in their hands, gathered together and walked towards the outside of the city gate.

Ye Qingtian stood in the middle of the street, watching all this in horror, those soldiers did not have the slightest life fluctuation, and did not pay attention to him, passing by both sides of him.

Ye Qingtian tried his best to stabilize his mind and stared at those soldiers walking out of the city and disappearing into the darkness.

Then, there was the sound of weapons colliding outside the city, and Ye Qingtian could see that the soldiers who went out just now were fighting with the creatures in the dark.

"Is consciousness controlled?"

Ye Qingtian began to guess in his heart, these soldiers have been dead for I don't know how many years, but now they are still able to act.

In this way, if it is not that someone is behind the control, it is that these soldiers have an extremely powerful obsession in front of them, even after death, relying on the residual consciousness, they have to go out of the city to fight.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingtian suddenly stood in awe of those soldiers, although he didn't know what these soldiers were guarding, but this kind of defense immortality, even if he died, he had to use his body to protect the spirit of the city, which was worthy of respect.

Seeing this, Ye Qingtian turned his head again and looked towards the huge palace.

I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, I don't know when, outside the second floor of the palace, there was already a figure in white clothes.

The distance was too far, Ye Qingtian couldn't see the person's face clearly, but the other party's head had always been facing the city gate, and he also ignored him.

Ye Qingtian was even more puzzled in his heart, and he became even more curious about this giant city in his heart.

Gritting his teeth, Ye Qingtian walked directly and quickly towards the palace, and got into it as soon as he could.

In the palace, there is only a piece of yellow sand, so it seems that this is his original appearance, and these palace houses that suddenly appeared should be influenced by Daoyin.

Without any hesitation, Ye Qingtian came directly to the second floor and walked towards the man in white.

Until this moment, the man in white had been looking outside the city, as if he was watching the battle, and he didn't notice Ye Qingtian's arrival at all.

Ye Qingtian looked at the other party, he was in his early thirties, with a resolute face and a tall figure, just like those soldiers, there was no life fluctuation in his body, relying on the residual consciousness to control this body.

"That's?"

Ye Qingtian found some abnormalities between the black hair on the back of the man in white's head.

In the middle of the back of the head of the man in white, there is a severed sword, hidden in the hair, which is difficult for people to see.

"Is it this broken sword?"

Ye Qingtian took the broken sword he had taken out of the sand and soil in his hand, looked at it, and was a little surprised.

Slowly walked in, and after careful inspection, the broken sword rift behind the white-clothed man's head completely coincided with the broken sword rift in his hand.

There is nothing to guess about, the two are one, but they are deeply cut off.

"What has happened to this sitting in the city?" Ye Qingtian had doubts in his heart, all of this he had seen was too unbelievable.

He had read almost all the historical records of the entire Four Extremes Dao Land, and there was no description of such a giant city.

Boom...

At this time, the bell rang again, and Ye Qingtian also came to his senses.

The sound of the soldiers marching in unison came from the city gates, and they entered the great city in the same procession.

Outside the city gate, there was no longer any figure floating in the darkness, and Ye Qingtian knew that they had won this battle.

Eventually, the soldier returned to the room, and the man in white beside him turned around and entered the main hall on the second floor of the palace.

The man in white was motionless above the main hall, and finally the light went out, and a candle on the second floor of the palace came out, and he fell into darkness again.

Ye Qingtian stared at the only candle light left on the second floor, there was a faint flame on it, and the faint light he saw before should be emitted by this candle lamp.
