Mine Ancient Array

Lemnian Hollow, Mine Ancient Array region.

The long-abandoned mining tunnel stretched beneath their feet. The rock walls on either side still bore scars from blasting years ago, and collapsed rubble broke the rails into disconnected sections.

"Griseo, why did you bring me here?"

Belle looked around. She recognized the place at once: an abandoned old mine deep inside Lemnian Hollow.

"Belle, of course we're here to find clues about Ye Shunguang."

Griseo explained as she walked on. Naturally, she had heard all of this from Yixuan.

Ten years ago, right here in this mine, a massive outbreak of Corruptive Breath had claimed the lives of countless miners and their families.

Ye Shunguang and Ye Shiyuan were among the few survivors of that disaster.

Ban Yue had rescued the siblings from the Hollow, but as an Intelligent Construct, he was no good at looking after children, so he entrusted them to Yixuan of Yunkui Mountain.

"Oh, so that's what happened."

After listening, Belle nodded thoughtfully.

No wonder Master Yixuan and Master Ban Yue knew each other so well. With that history between them, it was hardly surprising.

"Help... somebody save me!"

Suddenly, a cry for help rang out.

Belle and Griseo exchanged a glance, then rushed toward the voice.

After rounding a stretch of tunnel, they saw several Sacrificial Ghosts surrounding a man in a uniform suit in an open clearing, closing in on him step by step.

Beyond the Sacrificial Ghosts, several people wearing Praise Society robes were summoning more monsters at a Corruptive Breath node.

"Is that someone from Radiant Crystal Meike? And members of the Praise Society?"

Belle was shocked by the scene. Wasn't the Praise Society wiped out in Weifei Land? Why were they here?

The thought flashed through her mind and vanished.

"Wait—Griseo, save him!"
