Inside the hall, there was a plop sound, and Lin Qiye finally couldn't hold on any longer and knelt on one knee.

But he did not beg for mercy like the others. Instead, he raised his head, looked at the old man steadily, and said in a deep voice:
"Senior, although we are not as skilled as others, we are definitely not the kind of people who covet treasures. I just want to find out what happened to the ancient country of Yueying back then? Why did it become oblivious?"

"I hope you will enlighten me so that future generations can know this forgotten history!"

Although he was kneeling on the ground, his expression was extremely proud, and there was no trace of fear in his eyes!

Even the old senior was moved, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Boy, you are a man of integrity. But you are just a young man, and you dare to talk about the past of my homeland. Aren't you afraid that I will be angry and take your life?"

Having said that, the murderous intent in the old man's eyes faded a little.

It can be seen that although he appears to be unforgiving on the surface, he also appreciates Lin Qiye's courage to some extent.

Lin Qiye paused and said slowly: "Senior, although I am young, from the first step into this tomb, I have been ready to risk my life."

"I have come a long way and through so many hardships to get here. How can I meet you, my senior, and not ask you something?"

"What kind of misfortune has befallen the Yueying clan? What was the hidden story behind the war between the two countries? If I can't get to the bottom of it, I will die with regret!"

The audible words echoed over the hall, and Lin Qiye's eyes remained unyielding.

Everyone present was moved when they heard this.

Even those frightened companions were moved by Lin Qiye's momentum and their fighting spirit was rekindled.

Even the audience in the live broadcast room cheered for it.

"Oh my god! The master is going to fight the boss alone! Such aura and courage, don't be too handsome!"

"That's right! He has guts! He dares to face the senior and ask for the truth. This is a real man! I would like to call Lin Qiye my big brother!"

"As expected of someone we like, he must be able to stand firm at the critical moment. This wave is worth it!"

"What Qilin bloodline, what gold-grabbing skills, compared to this kind of courage to face death with no fear, they are nothing but clouds!"

"That's right! This is the awareness that a true explorer should have! Lin Qiye must give him a big thumbs up!"

Inside the hall, the atmosphere that had been tense for a long time finally eased.

The old man looked at this stubborn young man, with a glimmer of approval in his eyes:
"Boy, you are an interesting young man. It's rare to have such courage!"

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and removed the pressure that was spread throughout the venue.

Lin Qiye felt relieved, and even his breathing became much smoother. He quickly helped Yang Mi and Liu Tianxian up, bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior. We have no way to repay you, but we will listen attentively to your teachings."

The old man sneered and said, "What are you talking about? If I really want to kill you, wouldn't it be easy? You are still too naive. You don't have enough awareness to explore the forbidden area."

Everyone felt a little embarrassed when they heard this, but no one dared to respond.

They had no choice but to stand with their heads down and wait for their fate.

Lin Qiye stood up and said with a smile: "I dare not. Senior, you have great magical powers, and I know that there is a huge gap. I am just really curious, is the ruins of the ancient Yueying Kingdom really in this underground palace?"

The old man raised his eyebrows, looked Lin Qiye up and down, and finally sighed and said: "It seems that you are also destined to be together, so let me show you."

After saying this, he waved his sleeves, and green smoke dispersed from the ground, but a gust of wind came from nowhere.

And in the misty smoke, a magnificent capital city slowly emerged, with crisscrossing streets and numerous towering buildings, which was extremely impressive.

"Is this... Yueying Ancient Capital?" Yang Mi exclaimed.

The old man nodded, and slowly narrated with his hands behind his back: "Thousands of years ago, the Yueying clan was the overlord of this land. With their ancient skills, they could call the wind and rain. Unfortunately, as time went by, some people with bad intentions gradually emerged in the clan." "They relied on their knowledge of strange things to bully other clans and thus brought disaster upon themselves."

"The cause of the disaster? Could it be the Shensha clan?" Lin Qiye asked sharply.

The old man's eyes fixed, and he nodded heavily: "That's right. Shensha is a small country in the west, and its strength cannot compete with Yueying."

"However, they are cunning and cunning. They secretly colluded with Yueying's scum and stole the magic of our clan. As time went by, they also practiced evil magic and their strength is almost as strong as Yueying's!"

"This led to the tragedy of the two countries going to war and the fall of Yueying."

"What you said is absolutely right. When I was exploring the ancient tomb of the gods and demons, I found that they had looted a large amount of treasures and beauties. I guess they did this to bribe the people in Yueying, right?"

Lin Qiye said thoughtfully.

He paused, took out the evil heart from his arms and handed it to the old man.

"Senior, do you recognize this thing?"

The old man looked carefully and tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.

He took the jade pendant with trembling hands and burst into tears: "This is clearly the protective jade pendant of State Master Yueying! I haven't seen it since that battle. I never thought it would fall into the hands of the Shensha Kingdom!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

I didn't expect that the origin of this evil heart was so related to Yueying.

"Excuse me, senior, what is the secret of this jade pendant?" Lin Qiye asked.

The old man choked up and said, "This is a treasure made by our ancestors, and it contains the most exquisite moon shadow magic from ancient times. It was only coveted by the gods and demons thousands of years ago that it fell into their hands!"

As he spoke, tears streamed down his face and he looked very sad.

Lin Qiye's heart softened, and he immediately said: "Senior, although I am not talented, I have taken this item back from the Mausoleum of the Gods and Demons. Now that I have met the descendants of Yueying, I should return this jade pendant to you."

After saying this, he solemnly presented the jade pendant with both hands.

The old man was stunned, and looked at Lin Qiye with gratitude, his eyes blurred with tears and a little dazed.

After a long while, he choked up and said, "My dear friend, I will never forget your kindness! I will repay you with gratitude one day!"

"Why do you have to be so polite, Senior? This originally belonged to the Yueying Clan. Now that it has been returned to its original owner, isn't this God's will?"

Lin Qiye smiled calmly.

"Good, good! I've lived for so long, and this is the first time I've seen a young man as clear-headed and upright as you!"

The old man was deeply moved and kept bowing to express his gratitude.

Then he seemed to have thought of something, and said: "But my friend, our Moon Shadow Ancient Capital is just a shadow now. We still have to go further to find the real ruins."

"Oh? Senior, are you saying that there are other caves ahead?" Lin Qiye became interested.

"That's right. Ancestor Yueying laid many traps here to protect the last holy place of our clan. Even I don't know the details of the treasure inside."

The old man spoke with a melancholy tone, stroking his beard and sighing.

"Our tribe is called Shadow. We cannot show our faces in places where the moonlight shines. Although I am also a member of the Moon Shadow tribe, but..."

Hearing the old man say this, Lin Qiye's heart moved. Why does Yueying Country have such a strange request? Can't their own people live in the country? (End of this chapter)
