Tomb raiding: Today is another day I don't want to go home.

Chapter 141 What if there's a backlash? My lover remains.

"My space can only store inanimate objects right now. If you're not an inanimate object, then what are you?"

Yan Huai, expressionless, manipulated his mental power, using the piles of clothes in his space to wrap the furious bead layer by layer, and with a "biu" sound, threw it into a corner.

"Just stay put!" It's not time to deal with you yet.

Yanxi's Demon Orb: "......" ￥*&￥*￥*&

With his ears suddenly quieter, Yan Huai concealed the weariness in his eyes and continued walking in. He strengthened his connection with his clansmen's bloodline, but the further he went, the less effective it became to find his clansmen by following the bloodline connection lines—it seemed that an array had been set up in advance here.

The broadleaf forest was eerily quiet; not a single bird or beast could be seen, not even the chirping of birds or the sounds of insects, and there was not a rustling of wind...

Now, if Yan Huai still didn't realize he'd fallen into a trap, he would truly be unworthy of being called a dragon. He smiled bitterly to himself, realizing that he had let his guard down because of his connection to the bloodline of his kin.

Wasn't the onion juice incident a lesson learned? Why haven't he learned his lesson? What will Zhang Qiling think of him...?

Yan Huai shook his head irritably, gathering his chaotic thoughts. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, his pupils had turned into golden vertical pupils, much more beautiful than the blood-red pupils that had been filled with self-loathing and depression.

There's no one around here right now, so there's no need to hide anything; just relax.

The environment reflected in Yan Huai's eyes began to change, but this time the purpose was not to find the tomb, but to restore the original appearance of this terrain and help him get out of this formation as soon as possible.

North is associated with water, south with fire, east with wood, and west with metal. These should be the four cardinal directions, each with its own dominant element. But in Yan Huai's eyes, these attributes are completely reversed...

What's going on? Yan Huai was puzzled. Even without the misleading formation, according to normal feng shui, this situation shouldn't have occurred.

Could it be that some external force forcibly altered the original course of this place?

Yan Huai lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, feeling that this did not seem like the work of the Yan family. Rather, it seemed that they were taking advantage of the characteristics of this place to discourage people from entering the Qinling Mountains.

Thinking of this, Yan Huai's desire to explore the true nature of Qinling deepened once again. His memories that he had recovered were only vague, up to Yan Chen leading the remaining Canglong clan to deal with the Wang family in order to ensure that his soul could leave smoothly, and Qi Yu separating his soul. He knew nothing else.

What happened next?

As Yan Huai pondered, he pushed aside the newly sprouted tender shoots blocking his way. The formation was gradually being broken down in a hasty manner without damaging the core of the formation.

The reason it is called hasty is that Yan Huai deliberately exposed the traces of the formation in order to prevent later arrivals from entering the potentially dangerous Qinling Mountains too early. In addition, he added some of his own understanding of the trapping formation, turning the series of Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams formations originally set up by the Yan family into the Twelve Palaces of Stars trapping formation. The danger level is not high, and the main purpose is to consume mental energy and time.

Those who arrived later naturally included the "innocent" adventurers seeking wealth, the real members of the Wang family, and Zhang Qiling...

Yan Huai still doesn't know how to face the person who is so special to him. He doesn't want to disappoint him. Once he regains his memories and figures out the truth, his vow of love will remain, and he will also shoulder the mission left behind.

He still doesn't know what he did or what he missed, but those enslaved Azure Dragon people must have existed and experienced it. He can't have any regrets because of the oath he made that backfired. That's not Yan Huai, but an emotional coward.

At the last moment before stepping out of the formation, Yan Huai turned his gaze back to the direction from which Zhang Qiling had come.

The sense of shared destiny was fading, likely due to the Qinling Mountains, but Yan Huai still managed a slight smile, his gaze softening as if Zhang Qiling were right before him...

Qi Yu, please take good care of him while I'm away.

Zhang Qiling, I've left you plenty of signal flares. If you encounter any danger, just send me one, and I'll find you and protect you no matter what.
