Chapter 14977 The Old Man

Ling Xiao carefully deciphered the sacred rune array on the golden gate.

Long Muyu looked around warily. Although most of the people here were from their Tianlong Kingdom, no one could guarantee that they were safe.

Therefore, she has to be careful.

This is not only about her and Ling Xiao's safety, but also about whether the Tianlong Kingdom can solve this centuries-old mystery.

As for whether Ling Xiao can successfully break the Sacred Rune Array, she is quite confident, because Ling Xiao is currently the only high-level seven-star Sacred Rune Master she can find.

It is even said that he has reached the threshold of the Moon-level Saint Rune.

If even someone like that can't crack the sacred rune array on the golden gate, then no one else can.

Ling Xiao said he could finish in fifteen minutes, but she didn't quite believe him. After all, this was no small task, and looking at the sweat on Ling Xiao's forehead, she knew it was no easy feat.

Ling Xiao did feel some strain, but that was all.

The sacred runes on it were indeed complex, but he wasn't exaggerating when he said he could decipher them in a quarter of an hour. Just when Long Muyu thought he was exhausted, he was already close to completing the deciphering.

"It's done!"

After Ling Xiao completed the final step, the sacred runes on the golden gate began to recede rapidly, losing their original luster.

"It really worked?" Long Muyu still couldn't quite believe it.

"Damn it, would I lie to you about this? Look for yourself, the sacred runes on it have all been broken. Now they're just ordinary runes, without the previous effects."

Long Muyu went forward to check and found that it was indeed the case.

"The door is open!" Long Muyu shouted excitedly.

Five hundred years!

The Tianlong Kingdom waited five hundred years for this day, and finally, a truly capable person opened the gate to this secret realm that they had been guarding but could not open.

Long Muyu looked at Ling Xiao with admiration in her eyes. She couldn't help but sigh, "Your Saint Rune Technique is truly terrifying. No wonder you can break the Demon Soul Clan's formation. You can even easily break this sword barrier that has been passed down for thousands of years."

Ling Xiao withdrew his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Easily cracked? Miss Long makes it sound too simple. You have no idea how dangerous it is. One wrong move and I could lose my life. Opening this thing is not so easy."

"It was my rudeness that I didn't understand the dangers involved. I apologize!" Long Muyu truly didn't understand the Holy Rune Technique, so she was unaware of the risks Ling Xiao encountered during the process of breaking it.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's go in and take a look. This holy rune array is so complex. I wonder what it's protecting. I'm actually a little excited!"

Ling Xiao looked in the direction of the secret realm, his eyes filled with intense curiosity.

"I'll open the door, you rest first!"

As she spoke, Long Muyu stepped forward, raised her hand, and pushed open the golden door.

"What an eerie atmosphere! I feel like this place is definitely not simple. Shall we hold hands and go in together?" Long Muyu stretched out her hand and looked at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao was taken aback for a moment, but did not refuse. He grabbed Long Muyu's hand, and the two walked into the gate together.

In that instant, a strange spatial force enveloped the two of them.

The next moment, they lost all contact with the outside world, as if they had entered a teleportation array.

In a brief moment, the feeling disappeared again, and the two gradually regained their vision.

The moment Ling Xiao opened his eyes, he was completely stunned.

They thought they had entered a secret realm, but instead found themselves atop a majestic mountain peak, where a large cluster of buildings stood, resembling a sect.

"Sword Emperor Sect!"

Ling Xiao gazed into the distance and saw three powerful characters on the building, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"What kind of sect is this? I've never heard of it before. Could it be that the Sword Emperor Sect has a longer history than the Demon Sect?" Long Muyu also saw those three words and immediately fell into deep thought.

"Never mind that, let's go take a look first. I guess this secret realm is probably related to the Sword Emperor Sect, maybe it's the ruins of the Sword Emperor Sect!"

After speaking, Ling Xiao flew over.

At this moment, Xia Ming's voice reached his ears: "I have heard Lord Hong Qi mention the Sword Emperor Sect before. It is indeed more ancient than the Demon Sect. It existed long before the Demon Sect unified the Bai Ze Continent. It is said that it was wiped out overnight."

"Then this sect must be incredibly weak," Ling Xiao said with a smile.

"You don't know anything. Back then, the Sword Emperor was one of the top three strongest warriors in the Chaotic Martial World. He was invincible in swordsmanship, and the Sword Emperor Sect was the number one sect at the time."

Xia Ming said angrily, "This only proves one thing: it's not that the Sword Emperor Sect is weak, but that the being that destroyed it is too powerful. I suspect there's something strange going on here. Be careful later, or you'll end up getting yourself killed."

"Understood, I'll be careful!"

Ling Xiao nodded and had already arrived in front of the Sword Emperor Sect.

Long Muyu followed closely behind.

The two entered the Sword Emperor Sect together and did not encounter anything strange. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they arrived at a plaza.

This place looks a bit like an old martial arts training ground; it's quite large and has a strange atmosphere.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of dust, indicating that no one had been here for many years.

"This place is a bit creepy. We haven't even seen a single corpse. I wonder where all the people from the Sword Emperor Sect have gone?"

Long Muyu was, after all, a girl. Although she was strong, she was a little timid. She clung tightly to Ling Xiao, looking around as she became more and more frightened.

Just as Ling Xiao was about to speak, a frail, aged voice suddenly rang out.

"Welcome to the Sword Emperor Sect!"

"What the hell is this?!" Long Muyu was startled and immediately hugged Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao was speechless: "Your Highness, you are stronger than me, so why are you so timid? It's just that someone was talking."

Although he said that, Ling Xiao was actually a little nervous. In this kind of environment, suddenly hearing someone talking but not being able to see anyone was a very strange and frightening feeling.

Long Muyu released Ling Xiao somewhat awkwardly and used her divine sense to try to find out who was playing tricks, but unfortunately, she couldn't find them.

"I didn't find anything. Did you find anything? Could it really be a ghost?"

Ling Xiao pointed in a direction: "Over there, something has come out!"

There was a human-shaped figure formed from a cloud of white mist.

That was an old man!

However, this old man had no lower body.

"It really is a ghost!" Ling Xiao scratched his head; he rarely saw anything like this.

"Don't scare me, it's clearly just a soul! This is very different from a ghost, it's probably a guardian of the Sword Emperor Sect!"

Long Muyu was no longer afraid, which puzzled Ling Xiao. What was the difference between a ghost and a spirit?
