Nine Gates Yin Ruins: Evil Wood Emerges

It was as though he had fallen into a pool of water; both his hearing and vision became completely distorted.

Before Li Yan could react, his body suddenly felt weightless. Then the light and shadows stabilized.

He was now certain. This was the Interlayer Space.

Whether it was Shitilavana or Dragon Palace Water Mansion, the feeling had been exactly the same as here.

He gathered his thoughts and looked around.

He discovered that he had actually appeared inside a Land God Temple.

The walls had already partially collapsed. The wooden pillars and bracket sets, with rammed-earth walls, faintly revealed the style of the Tang Era.

The walls were covered in moss and cracks, and yellowish-black rotten grease seeped from the fissures.

The place made people uncomfortable at a glance.

Li Yan felt a stir in his heart and turned to look behind him.

On the rotten altar table, the clay statue of the deity had already shattered. Beside the wall, a pitch-black hole had appeared.

Li Yan understood. This Land God Temple had to be one of the exits.

What snowflakes? They were clearly incense ash left behind
