“There, there seems to be a different ripple in the atmosphere. If the Hidden Huangpu Clan truly left behind a lost formation, it must be there…”
Letting out a soft breath, Yu Yiren’s face broke into a faint smile. Upon hearing these words, Xiao Ding’s heart surged with excitement. After such a long search, were they finally onto something?
Li Xuan, on the other hand, couldn’t help but frown slightly. His disappointment was quickly masked, replaced by a forced smile.
“Let’s go!”
Regardless of whether it was truly a formation’s fluctuation or not, Xiao Ding wasn’t about to ignore any clue. He couldn’t wait to leave this world behind—decades had already been wasted, and they no longer had time to spare.
As soon as he spoke, the group headed toward the Cold Water Ravine. Only belatedly did members of the Hidden Huangpu Clan realize where they were going—they were heading straight into the clan’s forbidden grounds.
“Senior, this is the forbidden territory of our Huangpu Clan. You may search nearly anywhere else, but not here!”
Upon reaching the edge of the Cold Water Ravine, an elder from the Hidden Huangpu Clan finally stepped forward, swallowing his fear. This area was rarely entered even by their own people. If these outsiders were allowed to search freely, where would their clan’s dignity stand?
“Oh? Forbidden grounds? Now I really want to step inside!”
Xiao Ding narrowed his eyes, his expression unreadable. No one could tell what he was thinking, nor what secrets lay hidden behind his smile.
But clearly, he was completely unfazed by the elder’s attempt to stop them. If it was truly forbidden, there must be something hidden. And if that something was what they were seeking, even better!
The Hidden Huangpu members exchanged uncertain glances, unsure of how to proceed. Were they really going to let them just walk in?
Just as the elder took another hesitant step forward, preparing to stop them again, a blur suddenly appeared before him. Then, shock filled his eyes as a streak of red slowly seeped from his neck.
This eerie scene sent chills down everyone’s spines, and those who had stepped forward instinctively retreated. Nearby, members of the Hidden Tan Clan smirked silently, secretly wishing for a bloody confrontation between the Hidden Huangpu Clan and these powerful outsiders.
The one who had struck was none other than Li Xuan. To him, human life was indeed as insignificant as grass. If Xiao Ding hadn’t warned him at the beginning, he might have wiped out the entire Hidden Huangpu Clan…
“Let’s go in and find out. I’m curious to see if there’s anything we’re looking for inside the Hidden Huangpu Clan’s forbidden grounds!”
Xiao Ding licked his lips and, in a flash, appeared at the entrance of the Cold Water Ravine. Feeling the bone-piercing chill, he became even more convinced that a lost formation might lie within. He could almost see the four of them returning to their original world.
But it was only a fleeting thought. At that moment, a deep, thunderous voice suddenly echoed from within the ravine:
“Daring to trespass into the forbidden grounds of my Hidden Huangpu Clan—do you think it’s as simple as Luo Lou himself coming here? Even if he came, he’d still have to ask me for permission to enter!”
This voice, brimming with overbearing authority, stunned Xiao Ding and shocked the Hidden Huangpu Clan members, who had no idea anyone was inside. Even Yu Yiren and Li Xuan couldn’t help but furrow their brows…
