Chapter 639 Qin Clan Ruin V

"Hmm?" Xue Lan, who had just arrived at the room's bottom, raised her eyebrows. She used her ice technique to freeze the room, and many icicles appeared because of her actions, but she couldn't see anything because the room was pitch black. She remembered an item her father had given her in the past, so she took it out and turned it on. She then touched one of them and examined it closely. "There's clearly something in here, but I still don't know for sure what kind of creature this is. If my father's guess is correct, this creature is probably related to shadows, so I can't see its form. Luckily, my ice element is not an ordinary ice element, so I can freeze them. Otherwise, these creatures will possess me, threatening my father and Xian'er."

Xue Lan then looked around the room and found five passages connecting to other areas, but three of them were covered in rubble, so she walked to the middle of the other two passages and thought about which one she should take.

Xue Lan, who suddenly had an idea, immediately opened her palms. Soon, two ice birds appeared and flew away through both passages, but she raised her eyebrows when she felt one of them disappear down the left passage. "Hmm? Apparently, there's something dangerous in this particular passage, but it piqued my curiosity, so I'll try to check it out."

Without thinking any further, Xue Lan walked down the passage on the left with high alertness, and the area around her immediately froze every time she took a step forward. In addition, an ice shield appeared in front of him, and several ice spears also appeared behind him.

Xue Lan didn't experience any significant disturbance until she arrived at the end of the passage, but she was shocked upon seeing the room, particularly due to the abundance of weapons and armor within.

"Armory?" Xue Lan then rushed to check on some of them. "Hmm? The quality of all the weapons and armor in this place is commendable, with the lowest grade being only heaven; some are even in celestial and empyrean grades. I will inform my father about this location later, and all the weapons and armor here will be beneficial to all his wives."

When she turned around to check on the others, Xue Lan was shocked by an invisible attack that hit her ice shield, causing a large crack to appear in the center of her ice shield, and she was also knocked backwards before slamming into the wall behind her.

*Crack... Crack...*

*Bam*

"Cough... Cough..." Xue Lan immediately wiped the blood from her mouth with a look of shock, especially since her cultivation was already quite high for cultivators in the Seven Moon Realm, but the attack just now caused her whole body to be in pain. However, she immediately released her ice qi again and froze the entire room, but the result was different from what she did in the previous room, especially since not a single ice qi appeared, which meant she failed to freeze the invisible creature. 'Sigh, this is really troublesome! This creature is invisible to the eye and undetectable to my senses, and it seems to possess incredible speed and strength.'

Just as she was thinking about that, the creature attacked Xue Lan again, and it used a stronger attack than before, causing the cracks on her ice shield to become even more widespread.

*Bam... Bam...*

*Crack... Crack...*

"Shit!" Xue Lan cursed in frustration as she used her ice to restore her ice shield. She also shot several ice spears forward from behind, but they only struck empty air.

*Bam... Bam...*

*Crack... Crack...*

"Tch! This creature is much stronger than me, so I have to get away from this place, or I won't be able to last much longer." After she said that, Xue Lan spread her ice element again to keep the creature away from her, and she immediately ran as fast as she could towards the passage she had passed before.

As she ran along the passage, Xue Lan created another ice shield behind her. She also continued to fire several ice spears towards the room, but they failed to make any impact. After some time, she reached the previous room with a sense of relief and promptly drank the qi recovery potion to replenish her qi. "Sigh! Luckily, my speed is high enough, or else I wouldn't be able to escape from that invisible creature."

Xue Lan then looked at the last passage, and she didn't feel anything strange in it because her ice bird was still in the room at the end of the hall, so she immediately entered it while glancing at the previous passage. "Even though I can't do anything to that creature, I'm sure my father and Xian'er will definitely take care of it. Even if they can't deal with it either, we still have spirit women who are definitely much stronger than me, so I'll bring them all here later."

Xue Lan then dashed towards the room at the end of the passage she was currently in, and she soon arrived at a much larger room. However, there are several destroyed stone tables in the middle of the room, and at the edge of the room there are also several other passages.

"Sigh." Xue Lan let out a heavy sigh after she saw those passages. "What kind of clan actually owns these ruins? How could they have constructed such a massive structure within this realm? Moreover, the people in this realm don't have any records about them, so they must have never left the Illusory Forest before."

*Tap... Tap...*

"Hmm?" Xue Lan immediately became alert as soon as she heard footsteps from one of the passages, especially since she didn't know anything about her enemy. However, as soon as she saw Xiao Diqiu walking out of the passage, she immediately felt a sense of relief. "How did you get to this place, Sister Diqiu?"

"Hehe." Xiao Diqiu chuckled before sharing with Xue Lan the details of the small ruin she had previously visited. "The ruins were an army barracks, so it didn't take long to check them out. Unfortunately, there was nothing there, so I went straight to the last passage, but I didn't expect to meet you in this place. Anyway, why is your expression so tense? Have you encountered any danger?"

"Yes." Xue Lan then shared with Xiao Diqiu the details of the invisible creatures she had frozen in the previous room, as well as the powerful creatures that had attacked her in the armory. In addition, she also told her about the statue of a woman in the ruins of the library, which she believed to be a demihuman race.

Upon hearing that, Xiao Diqiu immediately grabbed Xue Lan's shoulders, and she swiftly escorted her back to the previous room, where she tried to inspect the creatures still frozen within her ice. "Apparently, they are shadow creatures, so we can't see them directly, and only Xiao Yinying can see them. However, I'm very sure that she has no connection with the clan that owns this ruin, especially if your guess is correct that they are demihumans."

"Does Xiao Yinying hate demihumans?"

"Yes." Xiao Diqiu replied with a nod. "Honestly, I don't know for sure what the reason is behind Xiao Yinying's hatred towards demihumans, especially since she is the most introverted among us, so she keeps all her problems to herself; even Big Sis Shijian and the spirit emperor can't force her to talk."

Xue Lan suddenly remembered something. "Is Xiao Yinqing one of the spirit women who made a soul contract with Song Tianyi?"

Xiao Diqiu smiled wryly after hearing Xue Lan's question. "No, Xiao Yinying had no soul contract with the late Master Song, and she hated him very much. Apart from the eight of us, there were only seven other spirit women who had a soul contract with him. They were Xiao Lei, the spirit of lightning. Xiao Shui, the spirit of water. Xiao Lin, the spirit of forest. Xiao Jinshu, the spirit of metal. Xiao Kong'qi, the spirit of air. The last one is the twin black and white Xiao Shengwu, the spirits of life and death."

"The spirits of life and death?" Xue Lan wasn't surprised to hear about the other spirits because their elements were common. However, she was really shocked to hear about the last spirit, especially since the power of life and death was supposed to be extraordinary.

"Yes." Xiao Diqiu nodded to Xue Lan. "You could say that they are the most dangerous among us, especially Shengwu, the Death. As long as she knows the target she has to kill, she can kill her target even from a great distance. However, she can't do anything to Big Sis Shijian, especially since she is the only immortal spirit."

Suddenly, there were two footsteps walking towards them. Soon, Xiao Huoli and Xiao Jianyi entered the room, but their eyebrows raised at the sight of those icicles.

After hearing Xue Lan's explanations, Xiao Jianyi moved to the front of the passage connected to the armory before drawing his sword, and a terrifying sword qi enveloped her. "My eyes can't see that creature, but I can detect it using my sword qi, so I'll destroy it now."
