Chapter 251: North Sea Secret Realm
After several hours of traveling, Ling Xiuhan finally arrived near the Qingyun Sect. Carefully avoiding the patrolling disciples, he infiltrated the sect's interior. With his familiarity with the area, he quickly located Lan Yunyan's residence.
However, the moment he pushed open the door, he found the room empty. The bedding was neatly folded on the bed, and there was an unfinished cup of tea on the table. It was obvious that Lan Yunyan had left not long ago.
Ling Xiuhan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He frantically searched everywhere, hoping to find some clues. Finally, he found a letter on the table. The envelope was inscribed with the words "Xiuhan personally."
He opened the envelope tremblingly and took out the letter. It read:
Xiu Han:
By the time you read this letter, I should have already set out on my journey to the Northern Abyss. I know you will come to find me, but I hope you can understand that this time I have truly made up my mind.
Everything between us is in the past. From now on, we will go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other. Please don't come to me again, and don't worry about me. I will take good care of myself and work hard to forget everything in the past.
I hope you understand my decision and that you can live your life well. May you find true happiness in the days ahead.
Blue Clouds
Ling Xiuhan finished reading the letter, feeling a mixture of emotions. He knew Lan Yunyan had made up her mind, but he still couldn't accept this reality.
"No, I won't give up." Ling Xiuhan gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, I must find her."
He put away the letter and quickly left Qingyun Sect, chasing in the direction of the North Sea. Along the way, he kept speeding up, with only one belief in his heart: he must find Lan Yunyan before she reached the secret realm.
Meanwhile, Lan Yunyan was walking alone on the road to the North Sea. The mountain path was rugged and uneven, and all around was silent, with only the occasional bird song breaking the tranquility of the night. Although her steps were firm, her heart was filled with confusion and anxiety.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, bringing with it a chilling atmosphere. Lan Yunyan stopped and looked around warily. Just then, she sensed a powerful surge of spiritual energy coming from the front.
"Who is there?" Lan Yunyan asked, while drawing the long sword in her hand.
A moment later, a figure in a black cloak slowly appeared before her. He was tall and burly, his face hidden in the shadows, revealing only a pair of eyes that gleamed coldly.
"Who are you? Why are you following me?" Lan Yunyan asked vigilantly.
The man didn't answer, but just stared at her silently. The air was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if a war was about to break out.
"If you don't want to get hurt, tell me honestly why you are here." Lan Yunyan said coldly, the sword in her hand trembling slightly, emitting strong spiritual power fluctuations.
The man finally spoke: "I am the guardian of the Northern Sea. I have come to greet you on the orders of my master."
"Welcome me? Who is your master?" Lan Yunyan frowned slightly, her heart full of doubts.
"You'll know when we get there." The man said, turned around and walked forward, motioning Lan Yunyan to follow.
Lan Yunyan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to follow him to the North Sea. She had a vague feeling that this man was not simple, but his appearance might also be a turning point.
The two of them walked one after the other through the pitch-black forest, their surroundings growing increasingly eerie and terrifying. Lan Yunyan remained alert, always ready to respond to any emergency.
After a long trek, they finally reached an open area. The sight before them amazed Lan Yunyan—a vast lake stretched before them, its waters crystal clear and shimmering. In the center of the lake sat a small island, upon which stood an ancient stone tablet.
"This is the entrance to the North Sea Secret Realm." The man said, pointing at the stone tablet.
Lan Yunyan nodded, took a deep breath, and walked towards the lake. She knew that once she stepped into this secret place, she would be completely isolated from the outside world.
But she is ready, and no matter what awaits her ahead, she will face it bravely.
Meanwhile, Ling Xiuhan was also rushing to the North Sea. Along the way, he kept asking for information about Lan Yunyan, and finally learned that she had already gone to the North Sea.
This news made him anxious and excited, because he knew he was getting closer to finding her.
One night a few days later, Ling Xiuhan finally reached the edge of the North Sea. Standing high above, he looked down and saw faint glimpses of lights amidst the pitch-black forest. He knew that was the legendary secret realm of the North Sea.
Ling Xiu Han jumped down without hesitation, his figure moving like lightning through the dense forest.
Soon after, he arrived at a secluded valley. Deep in the valley stood an ancient stone house with several guards standing at the door. Upon seeing Ling Xiuhan, they immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"Stop! This is the important area of Beiming Secret Realm. No outsiders are allowed to enter!" a guard said sternly.
Ling Xiuhan sneered, raised his hand, and released a powerful wave of spiritual energy, instantly knocking several guards away. He walked straight into the stone house and glanced around.
The furnishings in the room were simple and plain, with a few landscape paintings hanging on the walls. Just as he was about to search further, he suddenly heard a light sound of footsteps coming from the inner room.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar figure walked out—it was Lan Yunyan!
"Yunyan!" Ling Xiuhan shouted excitedly, rushing forward and wanting to hug her.
However, Lan Yunyan looked at him coldly, without a trace of warmth in her eyes. "Why are you here?" she asked calmly.
Ling Xiuhan was stunned, not understanding why she was so cold to him. "I came to find you! I can't leave you here alone!" he said.
Lan Yunyan shook her head: "You have found me, can you go back now?"
"Go back? How can I go back?" Ling Xiu Han said, "Do you know how much effort I put in to find you?"
"So what?" Lan Yunyan sneered, "We're over."
