Ch. 572Exploring the Alliance Pact; Turmoil Stirs in the Fog Sea
Lin Chang'an agreed to help Jin Kaishan and True Lord Lu pursue the Ancient Ruins, then searched the Heaven-Reaching Fog Sea with Jin Feng while Huang Tianxiao and Great Jin’s Ye Family stirred up rumors around a decoy site. After True Lord Lu reported that ruins had been found, Lin Chang'an left his search to rendezvous with them, unaware that the Ye Family’s apparent discovery was part of a scheme.
- Jin Kaishan asked Lin Chang'an and True Lord Lu to help him secure breakthrough-related treasures in the Ancient Ruins, offering his Iron Whip and Inner Armor as rewards, and Lin Chang'an agreed to assist.
- Lin Chang'an and Jin Feng searched underwater for hidden Spirit Veins using the Record of Terrestrial Spirit Veins, while Lin Chang'an’s other forces remained behind.
- Huang Tianxiao learned that rumors about the ruins had spread, decided to fan the confusion, and sent half his Spirit-Devouring Insects away from his nest.
- Great Elder Ye Chen and Third Elder Ye Yun used a decoy cave site and spreading rumors to sow chaos while they continued searching for the real Ancient Ruins.
- True Lord Lu told Lin Chang'an that the Ancient Cave Ruins had been found in a distant Yin Wind sea region, and Lin Chang'an abandoned his underwater search to meet him and Jin Kaishan.
- True Lord Lu identified the Yin Winds as likely remnants of an ancient Restriction and warned that a Fourth-Rank Late Stage Yin Spirit Beast King guarded the island, while Lin Chang'an sensed a trace of his traded Spirit Stones in Huang Tianxiao’s aura.
