First, he had entered the Bronze Immortal Palace to gamble for immortality. Then he had attacked the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest and the Emperor Tomb to seize an elixir. Now he was eyeing the Desolate Forbidden Land like a tiger stalking its prey.
If you hid the protagonist's name and looked only at those exploits, it would sound perfectly reasonable to say Heavenly Emperor Ye had done them.
Especially since all three places were connected to the Ruthless Emperor. The more Qin Sheng thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
Great Ability Nangong, were you a remnant of Yuhua, or a hidden Ruthless Successor?
If it was the former, he was up to no good and wanted to restore Yuhua's former glory. If it was the latter, his loyalty was beyond words: he was avenging the Ruthless Emperor's sullied name.
Of course, Qin Sheng knew Immortal Nangong couldn't possibly be connected to the Ruthless Emperor. He was simply addicted to this sort of thing.
"What exactly happened? Why did they suddenly set their sights on the Desolate Forbidden Land?" Qin Sheng was deeply curious.
"Tell me everything."
"It started with the Saint Lord Ceremony." Yao Xi recounted the whole affair.
"At the ceremony, the Fire Qilin Cave and other Ancient Clans revealed quite a few Primeval Era secrets concerning the Life Forbidden Zones. Once word spread, many people took notice."
"Not long afterward, Great Ability Nangong went to the Immortal Mausoleum. He gazed at that Burial Immortal Land from outside, hoping to claim a True Immortal's relic and gamble for immortality in this lifetime."
Qin Sheng's expression turned odd. Immortal Nangong still loved visiting "immortal lands" as much as ever. He really couldn't be happy without one.
"Then how did the Desolate Forbidden Land get involved?" Qin Sheng asked.
