Meanwhile.
After hesitating briefly, Ye Zhentian couldn't hold back any longer and asked Ning Wangshu again, "General Ning, since you used a soul-searching spell to examine that man's memories, I assume you also know why they came here?"
"Yes, General Ning. What exactly did these people come here for?"
Peng Jizu, standing nearby, couldn't help asking curiously.
Xu Jianfeng and Zhang Rui, who had been contacting other personnel to come over, also looked up and turned their attention back to Ning Wangshu.
Ning Wangshu had only told them where those people came from. He hadn't mentioned why they had come or what was down below.
Hearing Ye Zhentian and Peng Jizu's questions, Ning Wangshu pondered for a moment, then looked at Ye Zhentian and the others and slowly explained, "The place below, covered by that formation, is the legendary Kunlun Xu..."
"W-what!? Kunlun Xu? This place... is actually the legendary Kunlun Xu!"
Ye Zhentian and the others were once again stunned. They hurriedly looked down through the rift, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"Mm."
Ning Wangshu nodded. "That's right. According to that man's memories, this really is the legendary Kunlun Xu. However, a cataclysmic battle once took place here, and the entire Kunlun Xu was destroyed."
"These people came here hoping to enter Kunlun Xu and search for any treasures left behind from the Ancient Era."
"After all, in mythology, Kunlun Xu was the Daoist temple of the Queen Mother of the West. If any treasures really were left behind, they would undoubtedly be astonishing, peerless treasures!"
"Hiss..."
Hearing this, Ye Zhentian and the others exchanged glances and drew in sharp breaths, deeply shaken.
"I always thought places like Three Immortals Island and Kunlun Xu were nothing more than myths and legends. I never imagined they actually existed!"
Ye Zhentian
