Chapter 149 Someone once slew a dragon here!
“My benefactor, that is…” Huo Lingling didn’t want to say it.
Because that would put Gu Jiancheng in danger!
"Don't worry, your benefactor is very powerful. Even if the Black Wind Sect really comes out in full force, he won't be afraid!" Shen Ruyue said with a smile.
She could naturally tell that Gu Jiancheng was very interested in the Meteor Dragon Ridge.
"Alright, let's go there now!"
Seeing this, Huo Lingling could only nod.
Immediately, she led everyone out of Yunchuan City.
The group sped through the mountains of the desolate wilderness.
Huo Lingling was clearly very familiar with the Meteor Dragon Ridge, and did not stop for a moment along the way.
On the way, Gu Jiancheng also heard her say that the so-called Meteor Dragon Ridge was actually a name given by her father himself.
The name "Meteorite Dragon Ridge" comes from the fact that the remains of a dragon were accidentally discovered while mining ore, embedded among the mountains.
However, that place seemed to be protected by a powerful barrier, making it very dangerous. Therefore, he only dug for lapis lazuli with dragon energy in the surrounding area.
This stone is very rare and can be used to forge weapons.
Although the mineral veins were very thin, the Huo family still made a lot of money.
However, his father died unexpectedly, and the mine was almost depleted, so the Huo family lost their income.
This time, Huo Lingling also ventured into Meteor Dragon Ridge and went to great lengths to find a new lapis lazuli vein.
But unexpectedly, they were captured by the Black Wind Sect.
Gu Jiancheng played with the blue-green stone. This kind of stone was not actually very precious, but it did contain a trace of dragon energy.
The source of this dragon energy is actually because these stones and metals are stained with dragon blood!
Dragon Blood Lapis Lazuli – that's the key to its preciousness!
Therefore, it is quite fitting that her father named that place Fallen Ridge.
Thus, just half a day later, Huo Lingling, who was leading the way, stopped on a mountain peak.
In the distance, there was indeed a vast expanse of rolling hills, with one astonishing number of graves.
Moreover, the area is filled with a thick miasma, so even if someone were to arrive here, they would not easily enter.
Ancient mountains are everywhere in the Holy Land, and it is quite common for ancient ruins to exist within these mountains.
There are even many dilapidated ancient restrictions; if one is not careful, these restrictions could be fatal.
My father also spent a long time figuring out how to get into it.
As Huo Lingling spoke, she led everyone into the miasma.
At this moment, Gu Jiancheng also activated his Insightful Eyes and indeed discovered that this hilly area was filled with a rich ancient dragon aura!
The remains of an ancient dragon were buried beneath, its size estimated to be tens of thousands of feet in diameter!
The burial ground of an ancient dragon!?
Gu Jiancheng was shocked. He even sensed a life force deep within the ancient dragon's corpse!
This is even more bizarre. Could it be that the ancient dragon is still alive?!
If the ancient dragon, which is ten thousand feet long, were still alive, it would probably have reached the Saint King realm!
Although Gu Jiancheng was extremely shocked at this moment, he still suppressed his excitement.
Just as Huo Lingling said, this place is indeed full of ancient restrictions, and they are all killing formations!
Moreover, Gu Jiancheng sensed a faint yet powerful sword intent within it, suggesting that this killing formation and sword intent were very likely the cause of Gu Long's death.
In ancient times, someone once slew a dragon here!
"We've arrived! They're here after all!"
Just as Gu Jiancheng was still pondering, Huo Lingling in front of him stopped again.
But everyone looked at each other, puzzled.
The miasma here was so thick that they could only see objects within a radius of a few dozen feet.
But we found nothing, and we didn't even hear a sound.
Huo Lingling seemed to have seen something.
“Sister Lingling has a special sensitivity to rocks. She said the Black Wind Sect cultivators are ahead, so she shouldn’t be wrong,” Xue Lian said.
“That’s right, they must have used an isolation array, but I can still sense the sound of mining along the rocks.”
Huo Lingling nodded.
At this moment, Wei Xingzhou, standing behind Xue Lian, was about to step forward with his slender sword.
He now felt full of power, and if it came to battle, he would definitely be the first to charge forward.
"You can stay here and leave it to me."
But Gu Jiancheng's large hand held Wei Xingzhou down.
There was indeed an isolation formation ahead, and there were also cultivators with combat power comparable to those in the Refinement Realm.
With Wei Xingzhou's current combat strength, going there would be suicide.
"Don't worry, I'll be right back!"
Seeing Wei Xingzhou frown, Gu Jiancheng simply smiled and then transformed into a golden light, disappearing into the miasma.
At this moment, a thousand feet away, hundreds of Black Wind Sect cultivators were mining ore inside a cave.
Outside the cave entrance stood two cultivators, one old and one young.
The young cultivator was dressed in black, holding the Moyun Longsword in his hand, his gaze sharp as a sword.
His cultivation level has reached the late stage of the Heavenly Observation Realm, so he should be the eldest disciple of the Black Wind Sect.
The old man, who was at the early stage of the Refining Void Realm, was wearing a dark gold robe. Looking at the lapis lazuli in his hand, he laughed loudly, "Haha, Yin'er, it really is the Dragon Blood Lapis Lazuli! This place is truly a treasure trove!"
"If this news is sent back to the sect, you can use it to become the young sect leader!"
"Hehe, Father, I am the senior disciple of the Black Wind Sect. The position of young sect leader will be mine sooner or later." But the young sword cultivator's sinister face was full of sneers as he said, "But I don't want to send this news back to the sect yet."
"What do you mean?" The old man raised an eyebrow.
"Father, there are dragon remains here, and ancient restrictions are everywhere. I suspect there must be ancient ruins below!"
"If I could find some opportunity here, would I still need to cultivate in a second-rate sect like the Black Wind Sect?" the young sword cultivator said proudly.
"Haha, you want to monopolize the opportunities here, Father understands!" The old man's eyes darted around, and he suddenly realized, but he quickly frowned and said, "But if there really are ancient ruins here, it is probably extremely dangerous. Even Father cannot guarantee your safety!"
"Father, rest assured, I will never act rashly. If there is any real danger, I will send the news from here to the Thunder Sword Sect!"
"Being a true disciple of the Thunder Sword Sect is better than being in the Black Wind Sect!" The young cultivator seemed to have planned this all along!
"Hahaha, you're truly my son! Good, I support you!"
"I hope my son can obtain a heaven-defying opportunity here. If he can enter the holy land to cultivate, that would be even better!" the old man said with a smile.
"You won't have the chance to go to the Holy Land, but perhaps you can take a trip to the Underworld!"
But at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from the miasma above.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a buzzing sound that seemed to shake the heavens and the earth, they looked up and saw a huge cauldron crashing down like a mountain!
