Chapter 169: A Stone the Size of a Heart

  Jiulongwu is the birthplace of Huadu Holy City and the place with the most concentrated spiritual energy in the Xianxia world, known as the heart of Gu Xuan Domain.

  The history of Gu Xuan Domain is no longer traceable, and even the current most ancient immortal sect in the Immortal Realm was established only 12 million years ago. The founding histories of other immortal sects, such as the Seven Great Evil Lands and the Three Great Sacred Lands, are also only tens of millions to one hundred million years old. The founding histories of the Nine Great Spiritual Nations are even shorter, none exceeding two hundred thousand years.

  When was Gu Xuan Yu born? And how was he born?

  These two questions have become a puzzle for generations of great sages in the entire ancient Xuan domain!

  These great sages have studied for thousands of years, some even tens of thousands of years. They pursued the subtle clues from all over the world and finally found their way to Jiulongwan.

  Jiulongwu became a must-come place for every generation of sages, some people spent their old age here, and some were buried here. These people all generally believed that the birthplace of Gu Xuan and Jiulongwu, this "heart", had a close connection, but no one was able to unravel the mystery here.

  "Kowloon Walled City has become an enigma, an unsolvable riddle!" The master of Qianye, the greatest wise man under heaven, shouted this sentence out a thousand years ago before disappearing into the sunset with regret.

  No one knows that the bottom of the sunset river has cracked open a hundred-meter-wide canyon, and if the mystery in this valley is spread out, it can drive those great sages who have been hiding for thousands of years crazy.

  Guo Yi was bitten by Xiao Su again, and finally she couldn't struggle free from her, so she put her down from her shoulders and said: "My little auntie, if you keep biting like this, my whole body will be covered in your teeth marks. If your sister sees me like that later, I'll be done for."

  "Hmph! If you don't answer my question, I'll bite." Su Ya was petite in stature, but had a curvaceous figure, and was a mature little loli. Her face showed unprecedented rationality as she asked Guo Yao a question that she thought was the most rational: "Are you going to spend your whole life only marrying my sister?"

  Kuang Ye looked into the depths of the canyon, and a vision of Liu Yanran's breathtaking smile appeared in his mind. Kuang Ye again recalled that moment under the big locust tree, where a beauty seemed to be smiling at him: "Only love can hurt oneself, only not loving can hurt others, so who is it that you love?"

  The scene at that moment was etched in his mind forever, Guo Yi's expression was bewildered, and he muttered to himself: "Yanran, are you alive or dead? You've made me suffer so much. Once I destroy the Longyuan Sword Garden, I'll bring the heads of the three major sword sects to the underworld to find you. If you're in the underworld, I'll accompany you there; if you're not in the underworld, I'll kill my way out of the underworld and return to the mortal world to find you."

  "No, I can no longer be carefree now that I have Su E, I must take responsibility for her, I must marry her, I must give her the greatest name. Guo Yi looked towards the direction of the deep valley, then withdrew his gaze, thought for a moment, and his eyes became firm and unwavering: "I will definitely marry your sister, even if she is unwilling, I will still take her as my wife, this lifetime she is destined to be only my wife, Guo Yi's."

  Su Ya's eyes were filled with emotion, her tears welling up as she said, "What can I do then?"

  "You're my little aunt, my only little aunt." said Guo Yao.

  "You're a man, aren't you? How can you be so irresponsible? I'm already...I'm your woman. Is it because of this that you don't want me? Is it because I bit you too hard, so you're angry with me? Or is it because I'm not as gentle as my sister, or as beautiful as her, so you're disgusted with me?" Su Ya was still young, but she thought more than anyone else. This seemed to be a common problem for girls of this age - although the problems they thought about were immature, their words were full of emotion and sincerity.

  Guo Yi thought for a moment, then looked at her with tears in her eyes and said: "Actually, I don't think I can answer this question well either. Why don't you go back and ask your sister, my wife? She'll definitely be able to give you a satisfactory reply."

  "Ah..."

  A shrill and mournful cry came from the direction of the depths of the canyon, this cry was extremely mournful, as if it had seen the most terrifying thing in the world. The cry was urgent and brief, as if it had just been strangled by something after making a sound.

  Gu Lingsu was the first to rush towards the direction of the scream, and Guo Yao and Su Ya also put down the annoying question in their minds after hearing this blood-curdling scream, chasing after him into the depths of the canyon.

  When Guo Yihang was three thousand meters away, he saw a lone figure standing in front of a rock from afar. At this time, his face turned pale and he stared straight at the five-meter-high boulder in front of him, as if he had been petrified. His eyes were filled with horror.

  He was actually scared by a ruthless and emotionless killer. What kind of terrifying thing did he see?

  Kuo Yeh also looked at the dull and unremarkable giant stone and asked: "What's wrong with you?"

  Heaving his chest repeatedly, then taking a deep breath, he looked at the giant stone with a serious expression and said: "I heard you've been to Fengdu Ghost City?"

  Guo Yi didn't understand why he would ask such an irrelevant question, but still nodded and said, "Been there."

  "You must have also heard the legend of the Dead City in the center of Ghost Town?" Gu Leng continued.

  "It's not just something I've heard about, but also a place I've been to. It's the kind of place that once you've been there once, you don't want to go again."

  "I've also been there, and what you said is absolutely right." Guo Yi turned his head to look at him, then asked: "Guess what I just saw?"

  "What?" Guo Yi's heart skipped a beat, as if he had thought of something terrifying, then his eyes stared tightly at the giant stone, muttering: "Could it be..."

  "I just saw a group of terrifying unknown creatures in the dead city, instantly devouring the haunted house, not even leaving any bones or hair behind. Then, they burrowed into this giant stone." Lone said, trembling with fear, and even the legendary killer was scared stiff.

  Not only was Guo Yi startled, but even he was extremely frightened, and he involuntarily cried out: "What? How could those terrifying unknown creatures from the Dead City appear in this place?"

  Guo Yao had been to the Dead City and knew the terror of the unknown creatures within, but these creatures were unable to leave the city walls, as if they were being held back by an inexplicable force. Only 500 years ago, Yanluo Ghost King had taken out a baby from it, but Wangniangsu was already dead at Nanling. Guo Yao had witnessed her turn into dust and ashes. So where did these unknown creatures come from? And why did they appear in this place?

  This is a five-meter-high black rock, the rock is as hard as cast iron, the surface of the stone is smooth like a mirror, and the shape of the entire boulder is like a human heart, which seems to be jumping at any time.

  "Let's get out of here as soon as possible! It's really scary to be talked about like that." Little Su shrunk her neck, revealing a little girl's appearance.

  Gu Leng also said: "I also think we must leave here as soon as possible, I feel like there is always a pair of eyes watching me from behind my back."

  The intuition of a killer is usually very accurate, and Loner's feeling this way absolutely has nothing to do with him being afraid.

  Guo Yi looked at the giant stone, then ran his hand around it, but didn't find anything hidden inside. In the end, he could only give up and say, "Let's go! This thing is really too strange!"

  The unknown creatures of Nanling have appeared in this place, completely beyond Guo Yi's understanding. These creatures are a big trouble if one escapes, but now there is a group here, which is a loud alarm bell, seemingly foretelling something.

  In the depths of the canyon, there were still occasional sounds of a guqin, but when Guo Yi asked Su Ya and Gu Lian, they hadn't heard anything at all, saying that all they had heard was the mournful sound of ghosts wailing, with no guqin sounds whatsoever.

  Whether it's hell or a paradise of music, no one can be sure. However, as long as Guo Yi has heard the sound of the guqin, he must move forward, even if it's to the 18th level of hell.

  "Why haven't we seen a single monk on our way here?" Su Ya was full of curiosity, knowing that at the time there were over thirty monks heading deep into the valley, but except for the ghostly house that had already died, not one could be seen now, how could it not make Su Ya suspicious.

  Guo Yi and Gu Leng understood more about the unknown creatures in Dead City than she did, so they were both extremely solemn, neglecting this strange phenomenon. It wasn't until Su Ya brought it up that Guo Yi realized a more severe problem when he thought back to the ghost house's condition earlier.

  "Are these people all like ghost houses, already gnawed by those unknown creatures?" Guo Yi and Gu Leng were both startled. If it was really so, would those unknown creatures jump out again?

  "Whoosh!"

  A dark shadow flashed by beside Guo Yao, but it didn't stir up a single ripple in the water, as if nothing had happened just now.

  "Did you see it just now?" Guo Yi suddenly stopped in his tracks and asked with a serious expression.

  "Saw it, but didn't see clearly." Lone Ling said!

  "Whoosh!"

  Another loud splash came from behind Guo Yi, but when he turned his head, he still found nothing, and there was no ripple in the water. However, a faint killing intent simultaneously emerged from all directions, as if an invisible ghost was lurking around, ready to pounce on its prey at any moment.

  "Leave here quickly, my intuition tells me that the group of unknown creatures has already decided to take action against us." Yu Lin said this and took the lead in running forward.

  Guo Yi dragged the frightened Su Ya, who had lost all sense of direction, and ran as fast as he could, because the dark shadows behind them no longer concealed themselves, but instead came pressing in like a dense black tide from afar.
