Chapter 294: Chapter 114 "The Desolate Village’s Mysterious Building" (8200 words)_3

The events originally occurred in the latter half of the night. After returning to the room, it had only been two or three hours before the sky started to lighten up slightly.

However, today wasn’t sunny. Although the sky had brightened a bit, it remained gloomy, and the mountains were shrouded in mist.

Chen Yan opened the window and looked outside, then turned to Chu Keqing, "Shall we go?"

"Let’s go." Chu Keqing looked at the morning light outside the window. Although it wasn’t very bright, the visibility was decent.

The two then carried their luggage downstairs and greeted the two temple staff members.

After giving some instructions, Chu Keqing also suggested that the staff members pack up and leave the temple as well and offered them a few days off.

Afterward, Chu Keqing and Chen Yan left the temple—Chu Keqing had driven a car alone when she returned yesterday, and it was parked in the open space outside the temple.

After getting into the car, Chu Keqing drove while Chen Yan sat in the front passenger seat. They drove down the mountain road.

The car had only driven a few hundred meters when some droplets of water fell on the front windshield. Chen Yan reached out of the window and felt the droplets, saying softly, "It’s starting to drizzle. The mountain roads are slippery, drive carefully."

Chu Keqing frowned and nodded, "Okay."

The car slowly descended the winding mountain road, weaving through the mountains.

Chen Yan remembered that when they entered the mountains a couple of days ago, they had passed a village halfway up the mountain—though it had been abandoned. It was said that due to government planning, the entire village had been relocated several years ago.

Now it was a deserted, abandoned village, with only some buildings left. The local government had plans to renovate it, but for some unknown reason, there had been no progress.

Sure enough, after driving for ten minutes, the car rounded a bend, and the abandoned village came into view by the roadside.

Chen Yan glanced at the deserted village, feeling a bit strange. He looked up at the sky outside the car window—how come they hadn’t been driving for very long, yet the sky seemed to have dimmed even more?

He didn’t say anything, just quietly watched the road ahead.

Seeing the fine, misty drizzle in the air, visibility was reduced to around two hundred meters.

But a few minutes later, both Chen Yan and Chu Keqing’s faces changed! Chu Keqing even exclaimed, "Senior! Look!"

Screech!

The car suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. Both Chen Yan and Chu Keqing held their breath, their expressions serious as they looked out of the left side of the car window.

On the left side of the winding mountain road, a dirt road branched off, leading down to the abandoned village in the distance!

"Didn’t we just pass this place?" Chu Keqing took a deep breath, her face looking a bit pale.

Chen Yan’s expression turned solemn, and he said quietly, "Keep driving forward!"

"Senior?"

"Drive!" Chen Yan commanded firmly.

As Chu Keqing restarted the car, Chen Yan sat inside and suddenly formed several fingerprints with his hands rapidly, muttering under his breath before finally shouting:

"Law Order: Break!!"

A burst of golden light emanated from his fingertips!

The golden light spread inside the car, faintly radiating through the windows and outside...

But a few minutes later...

Screech!

After the car passed another bend, it stopped on the winding mountain road!

Chu Keqing was dumbfounded as she looked out of the left side of the car window.

A dirt road, and in the distance, that abandoned village once again!

"Senior... we’re back again." Chu Keqing’s voice was dry.

Chen Yan’s face darkened as well!

If this was something like a Ghost Wall or some kind of Enchanting Array or Blinding Technique...

Then under his "Breaking Rune Technique," which breaks all techniques with one command, such spells should have been dispelled!

And if even the [Breaking Rune Technique] wasn’t effective...

Then regardless of whether this place was an Enchanting Array, Blinding Technique, or Ghost Wall... the person behind these setups possessed formidable spells and cultivation!

The Qi Observation Skill revealed nothing! The Breaking Rune Technique was ineffective!

After the initial shock, Chen Yan quickly calmed down—his nature was such that the more critical the moment, the more composed he became.

"Reverse the car, try backing up." Chen Yan sighed.

Chu Keqing’s expression changed, but she still followed Chen Yan’s words, shifting gears and pressing on the gas.

The car slowly reversed, retracing the winding mountain road. After backing through a bend...

Once again, the abandoned village appeared on the left of the road!

"Stop the car." This time, Chen Yan didn’t even sigh, he calmly said, "Stop the car, turn off the engine."

Chu Keqing did as he said, then looked at Chen Yan, "Senior, we..."

"Wait a moment."

Chen Yan suddenly removed his seatbelt, reached into the octagonal alchemy furnace hanging around his neck, and quickly took out several items.

Fox Tail Brush, cinnabar, talisman paper.

Under Chu Keqing’s puzzled gaze, Chen Yan rapidly began writing on the talisman paper with the brush.

At first, Chu Keqing thought he was drawing a talisman, but soon realized something was off... because he was writing for a long time.

A moment later, Chen Yan handed a densely written piece of talisman paper to Chu Keqing.

Chu Keqing took it and was stunned by what she saw.
