Chapter 677: 677 Dragging Shadow Twin Swords! [1 more]

At this moment, it seemed that the entire Penglai Divine Mountain was echoing with this sentence—heaven and earth, sun and moon, flowers and grasses, trees—

—The future of Shenzhou is entrusted to you, Your Highness.

Ye Wanlan heard countless Bronze Bells ringing simultaneously, with countless voices constantly echoing in her ears.

She certainly knew how much hope was pinned on this simple sentence.

And she absolutely cannot let down their hopes.

Even if she wagers her own life on this journey, she is willing to do it!

After the light faded, Ye Wanlan fell into endless darkness.

"Xiao Wan..."

"Xiao Wan? Xiao Wan!"

After an unknown amount of time, a familiar voice sounded in her ears.

The usually clear and cold voice was filled with urgency and anxiety, mixed with deep concern.

This name was called by only one person—the one who would call her this way.

Ye Wanlan opened her eyes, her vision becoming clear.

She looked up and met a pair of extremely beautiful phoenix eyes.

In the past, these eyes were always calmly deep like a cold pool, unfathomable, making it difficult for anyone to discern his emotions.

But at this moment, all his emotions were revealed.

At least as a human, there would be emotions, but not everyone could see them.

"Tingting?" Ye Wanlan pressed her hand to her head, exhaling slowly, "I’m fine, sorry for worrying you."

Seeing she was awake, Yan Tingfeng let out a breath, the hostility in his gaze gradually fading, he paused and said, "Just now... you suddenly fainted, I couldn’t wake you, so I..."

They were originally heading towards the mountain.

Yan Tingfeng had walked this path many times and knew where formations would be, being so familiar he could not be more familiar.

Illusion Technique is the most basic Penglai Magic, but there should be no Illusion Technique he couldn’t detect here, even at his current weakened condition, his skill barely at one percent of his peak strength.

Ye Wanlan seemed as if her mind was bewitched, her soul seized by something unknown.

Using the Beiming Arts to summon her, he found it didn’t have the slightest effect.

Indeed, there are few things in this world that could make the former Supreme Martial Arts Master panic.

Yet even if Ye Wanlan suffers a small injury, emotions would surge in the Master of Highest Heaven Tower who never experienced love or being loved since childhood.

"Just now, I heard someone calling my name in the mountain." Ye Wanlan concealed the part about Princess Yongning and King of Yan, "and then I saw an old man."

Yan Tingfeng’s eyes narrowed slightly: "Old man?"

Ye Wanlan responded with a hum, then described the appearance and attire of the Penglai Elder.

Just hearing one sentence, Yan Tingfeng already discerned—

Penglai Elder!

No wonder even he hadn’t sensed another Illusion Technique here.

The Penglai Elder, the Old Man of Medicine Valley, and the first generation Sword Saint were figures from the same era.

These three could be considered founding ancestors, with highly esteemed status and strength.

The Penglai Elder was the mentor of Penglai Saintess Yue Zheng, and while he was still alive, Yue Zheng could confidently retreat into seclusion.

But after the departure of Princess Yongning four years later, the Penglai Elder transcended.

This made Mount Penglai even more isolated, completely shutting itself out from the world.

"He said the Shadow Trailing Sword is at the mountain peak, sealed to prevent ill-intentioned people from acquiring it." Ye Wanlan smiled lightly, "but he said Shenzhou’s future needs us to uphold, so he entrusted the Shadow Trailing Sword to me."

Yan Tingfeng’s eyes changed: "Princess Yongning’s weapon?"

He obviously knew of the Shadow Trailing Sword.

Jianghu had always had rumors of the Shadow Trailing Sword, but never a trace of its existence.

Someone once passed him intelligence, thus he knew the Dragging Shadow Twin Swords were made by Xie Leyou and given to Princess Yongning for self-defense.

The Xiang Family had also been searching for the Dragging Shadow Twin Swords for three hundred years but had never found them.

Who would’ve thought the Dragging Shadow Twin Swords would be at the Penglai Mountain Peak?

"History books never recorded this weapon, but the Xiang Family’s books did." Ye Wanlan nodded, "Tingting, don’t worry, although I was trapped in Illusion Technique, this Illusion Technique is harmless to me. Let’s first head up the mountain and locate the Dragging Shadow Twin Swords."

Yan Tingfeng nodded then: "Okay, this path likely has numerous formations, we must be cautious."

"I’ll lead the way." Ye Wanlan raised her head, "Stay behind me."

These five words surprised Yan Tingfeng.

In his long life, he had never heard anyone say this to him.

As Supreme Martial Arts Master, Jianghu’s No.1, he was always the one letting others stay behind him.

Who would dare say they would protect him?

But Ye Wanlan said it.

He had to admit, being protected like this felt quite good.

"Alright." Yan Tingfeng blinked softly, suddenly breaking into a smile, "I’ll be behind you."

Also to shield you from all risks from behind.

Mount Penglai had been sealed for three hundred years, but the power of the formations hadn’t weakened at all.

Rather, because they hadn’t been triggered for three hundred years, they accumulated more energy, becoming stronger.

By the time Ye Wanlan and Yan Tingfeng reached the mountain top, four Shichen had already passed.

At this time, the sun had set, darkness fell.

The night descended, moonlight scattered, fireworks flickered over Mount Penglai.

At this moment, both Ye Wanlan and Yan Tingfeng felt a peace within their hearts.

After three hundred years, they once again set foot on this familiar land.

The magnificent Penglai Holy Hall appeared before them.

Compared to its former bustling, today’s Penglai Holy Hall was very quiet.

Ye Wanlan slowly closed her eyes, again recalling the arrival of the Battle of Ten Thousand Armies, the disciples of Penglai and Beiming descending the mountain, never to return.

Those entering the Penglai and Beiming sects, were they not all genius in Art and Method?

"Xiao Wan, let’s search separately." Yan Tingfeng glanced around, "It’s quite large here, and without formations, we can relax."

The mountain top indeed had no formations, as this was the true base of Mount Penglai.

Penglai disciples combined, along with several elders and the Saintess, not even the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch could resist nearly ten thousand people.

Ye Wanlan nodded, she and Yan Tingfeng divided to head north.

The Shadow Trailing Sword was originally her weapon, but due to the seal, her connection with it was very weak.

But, the further north she went, the more Ye Wanlan felt the tremor in her heart.

Until she reached a side hall, suddenly, her blood seemed to boil.

Though the place was empty, with no traces of formations, Ye Wanlan was certain—

The Dragging Shadow Twin Swords were here!

Ye Wanlan picked up the Dagger, without hesitation, sliced open her palm, fresh blood oozed out, within the blood was a faint gold.

The blood dripped from her fingertips into the earth, quickly seeping in.

"Boom—"

The ground suddenly trembled.

"Bang!"

With a booming sound, two rays of light burst from the soil.
