The castle was dim, and as long as a ray of light shone in from the broken area above, it still seemed very dim.
“There are lamps on the surrounding beams!”
Firebrand spoke up, and at the same time had already lit a lamp on one of the pillars.
The others also went to light the lamps.
Lin Ran was no exception as he came to a pillar and raised his hand to light a lamp.
But as he watched the bright light of the lamp burning, he frowned slightly.
The reason was that there was a handprint near the lamp.
The handprint seemed to be stained with a lot of dust and slapped on the stone pillar, which was very clear.
However, there had been a great battle here after all, so Lin Ran was soon relieved.
It was most likely left behind many years ago, so it wasn’t surprising.
“How do I get out from here?”
Lin Ran asked as he came beside Flame-Yan.
“There must be a formation to leave here, just wait until I find what we want, then I’ll take you away!”
Flame-Yan said.
Lin Ran nodded at his words and immediately looked towards the surroundings to see if he could find a formation to leave.
And this was Fire Yan ordering his men to start searching around for any sign of his ancestors.
The entire front hall of the castle was very empty, there was no one there, only many large futons on the floor, as if someone was cultivating here during the week.
One of the two pa*sageways leading to the two sides had collapsed beyond recognition, so it was impossible to get through, so Huo Yan’s men had to search for the other one that was still pa*sable.
Soon, as the search began, one thing after another, and a bureau of corpses were carried out.
Lin Ran also walked back at this time, and looking at the corpses and things in front of him, he couldn’t help but frown slightly.
All of these people had obviously been dead for many years, with only some white bones left, and some of them were even unstable, and could face the possibility of being eroded into white ash at any moment.
Moreover, the things these people were holding in their hands and wearing on their bodies had also eroded so badly that they were almost worthless at all if they were touched.
Finally those things, too, were basically useless.
Whether they were weapons or pills, almost all of them had been so badly eroded that they would break as soon as they were held, and when they were opened they were just smoke and dust!
“Young master, this side has all been explored, there’s nothing!”
Soon the men all came running back.
Fireyan smiled with resignation and turned his head to look at the other side of the pa*sage blocked by the collapse.
“Go and fight your way through here, we must find the remains of our ancestors!”
Fireyan said in a cold voice.
“Yes!”
The crowd didn’t dare to delay in the slightest, and immediately went to work.
Lin Ran, on the other hand, came over to Fire Yan at this moment and asked.
“How did you guys know that there was an ancestral relic and a way to boost the strength of your Fire Family here?”
Huo Yan was stunned at his words, and then laughed.
“It’s all here, so there’s no harm in telling you!”
With that, Huo Yan spoke up.
It turned out that back then, there were dozens of people of great strength from the Fire Family who went to this foreign devil domain, and countless warriors!
The leader of them was the ancestor who was buried here, while the remaining dozens of people were all following him.
They lived here at first, while outside was the battlefield.
But then one day, a very powerful man suddenly came from the enemy camp, who could not resist almost anyone.
Only later did they realise that? The person who came was a foreign devil!
The foreign devil was so strong that those followers of the Fire Family were no match for him.
Almost all of the dozens of people died at the hands of the foreign devil.
In the end, the ancestor had no choice but to take action, but he had a son at the time, and his strength was only just at the early stage of the Dan-making Sutra, so he could not possibly be a match for the foreign devil.
So he sent his son into the formation and left the place. In the end, after the great battle between the ancestor and the foreign devil, the foreign devil left.
It didn’t take long for the ancestor to die inside the castle, and eventually the place was closed off by the foreign devil, making it a desolate place where no one could enter.
But he forgot that? The ancestor had a son who escaped, and it was this same man who found a group of people left from the Fire Family and established our current Fire Family in the Fey Demon Realm.
“As for why I know this, it’s actually quite simple! Because this is the ancestral motto of our Fire Family in the Other Demon Domain, from the ancestor’s son who set this rule and it has been pa*sed down to this day!”
“The ancestral motto says that if the descendants of the Fire Family want to leave the Fey Demon Domain, they must find the entrance to the ancestral land and come in to put the corpses of their ancestors into the earth before they can be guided!”
Lin Ran frowned at his words.
“Your family’s ancestor was so powerful that he sent his own son away back then, and still managed to leave behind such a phrase!”
“I don’t know, it might just be something the ancestor knew before he left, but who knows now that the ancestor has been gone for so many years!”
Fireyan said.
“I hope your ancestor’s motto is right!”
Lin Ran said indifferently, and said no more.
The two said as they got up and prepared to go see the progress of the pa*sage being opened next to them.
However, both of them couldn’t help but freeze just as they got up, while their brows furrowed.
They saw that the pa*sage in front of them was empty, and the pa*sage had not been opened.
“Where is everyone?”
Fire Yan’s face suddenly looked ugly and was about to go over at once.
“Don’t move!”
Lin Ran suddenly spoke and stopped Fire Yan.
Fire Yan looked at him not knowing what Lin Ran meant.
“There’s someone here!”
Lin Ran frowned and said.
“Nonsense, we’re not people!”
Fireyan said.
“What I’m saying is that there are living people here apart from us!”
Lin Ran said.
Fireyan felt his scalp explode at his words.
“You …. What do you mean!”
“Didn’t you guys notice that before?”
Lin Ran said.
“Noticed what?”
Flame-flame was even more bewildered.
“When you had the lamp lit before, didn’t you guys notice that there was no dust on the lamp either inside or outside?”
Lin Ran said.
“No! Who would pay attention to that!”
Flame-Yan was speechless.
Lin Ran added.
“What about the base of the candle? Didn’t you guys notice that it was soft?”
“You!”
Flame-Yan froze in his tracks.
Lin Ran, on the other hand, swept his gaze around and said.
“There’s no dust inside the lamp at all, and the candle that melted after burning is also soft, which means that the lamp was lit before here, and now that your men are missing there must be someone alive here!”
Lin Ran said with a sudden awe in his eyes, pointing to one of the corpses that Flame-Yan’s men had previously moved out in front of him.
“This corpse was facing not us before, right!”
“Weng!”
Hearing these words, Fireyan’s scalp exploded.
“You …. Are you trying to say that ….. there’s a ghost here?”
“Ghosts, my a*s! People who cultivate the Dao still care about ghosts and gods?”
Lin Ran said in a cold voice as his eyes swept over the surroundings.
“There are people here, and they’re alive!”
“Wolf Dove! How long are you going to hide the Dao!”
“Wolf Dove?”
Fireflame burst.
“Didn’t he not even come in?”
“Who told you he didn’t come in? He was outside the cave by himself, who can guarantee he didn’t come in after we came in?”
“And don’t you forget that? He’s been ensconced in this Wolf’s Tooth Mountain for hundreds of years, so if there wasn’t a bit of discovery, why would he be ensconced in such a Sh*tty place?”
“What do you mean?”
Fire Yan instantly felt a chill run down his back as a bad thought popped up out of thin air.
Lin Ran looked around blandly and said.
“This secret of your Fire Family, he probably already knows about it and may have arrived here before us!”
