Or what is going on?\" Wang Lichuan could not help but mutter to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know, perhaps we will know if we go in and take a look! Maybe there will be living people inside!\" Tan Qingjiang shook his head and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group suppressed the shock in their hearts; since they had already arrived here, no matter what was ahead, they could not possibly turn back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people from the Class-Transfer Guild scouted the path ahead, while Zhuge Qianxing and the people from the Investigation Bureau followed behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking into this ruined version of Qingcheng, they realized that there were traces of various battles everywhere, as if a terrible war had destroyed everything in Qingcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ground, one could see broken fragments of equipment everywhere—swords, spears, staves, rings, magic staves, and grimoires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But strangely, not only were there no living creatures, but along the way, they did not even see a single corpse, whether human or demonic, not even a single withered bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint sense of unease shrouded everyone's hearts; the unknown is always the most terrifying thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Qianxing squatted down and reached out to pick up a piece of exquisite metal fragment; its edges were sharp and it was covered in ancient runes, as if telling of its former glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it, Mr. Zhuge? Did you find something?\" The others quickly looked at Zhuge Qianxing, attempting to get an answer from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It can be considered a small discovery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Qianxing raised the metal fragment in his hand and said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a fragment of a divine artifact, but unfortunately, with the passage of time, it has lost all its value.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, everyone gasped, their eyes filled with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking across the entire Qingcheng, one couldn't even find a single divine artifact, right? Yet now, they had actually found a fragment of a divine artifact in this ruined version of Qingcheng?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How intense and terrifying must a battle be to shatter a divine artifact?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone felt somewhat oppressed. In the time that followed, they went to the Class-Transfer Guild, the Investigation Bureau, the small courtyard where Zhuge Qianxing stayed, and all the well-known buildings in Qingcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But without exception, these places had all become ruins, and likewise, they could not find a single corpse; the entire Qingcheng seemed to have become a ghost town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing—no danger, no opportunities; all there was, was barren land, a gray sky, and a ruin of reinforced concrete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone's expression became extremely ugly; this was completely different from what they had expected of the Gate of Apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guild Leader Tan, don't you have the Ancient Key of Apocalypse in your hand? That thing has no reaction? It didn't give you any guidance or anything?\" Wang Lichuan looked at Tan Qingjiang with slight dissatisfaction and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I already said, it doesn't.\" Tan Qingjiang's expression was also not very good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ling Ye, do you have any clues?\" Zhuge Qianxing lowered his eyes and asked Ye Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\" Ye Lin shook his head, his expression calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, the Ancient Key of Apocalypse in Ye Lin's stomach had already been restless just a moment ago, desperately wanting to rush in one direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Ye Lin's familiarity with Qingcheng, if he guessed correctly, that direction led to the slums.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ye Lin did not intend to tell anyone, because whether it was Wang Lichuan, whom he had called over, or Zhuge Qianxing, he could not trust a single person here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the face of profit, even biological brothers might kill each other, let alone when it involved a heaven-defying opportunity like the Ancient Origin Artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! Behind this Gate of Apocalypse, could there really be nothing at all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Lichuan was somewhat agitated; having entered the Gate of Apocalypse only to return empty-handed, no one would be willing to accept that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuge Qianxing pushed up his glasses and said calmly: \"Since that is the case, why don't we let everyone search separately? See if we can find anything? If there is danger, just shout; this place is quiet, and sound will travel far enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That works too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Qingjiang and Wang Lichuan nodded and agreed with Zhuge Qianxing's proposal; after all, in this ruined version of Qingcheng, it seemed there was no danger at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three groups of people spread out, each searching in a different direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Ye Lin not only had the opportunity to act alone, but the direction he was assigned to was exactly the one leading to the slums!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are not that many coincidences in the world; if there are, it means there is a big hand behind the scenes pushing the development of events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin had reason to believe that Zhuge Qianxing had already begun to suspect him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he did not rush to follow the guidance of the Ancient Key of Apocalypse to the slums, but instead searched along the way, entering any building he encountered to see if there were any discoveries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, the sky began to darken, and night shrouded the entire Qingcheng. Strangely, in this ruined version of Qingcheng, not a single star could be seen; there was only a deep darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no expression on Ye Lin's face as he continued to diligently carry out the search work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After turning and ducking into a public restroom, he brazenly activated a skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Earth-Escaping Technique!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Earth-Escaping Technique: A mage uses their own spiritual power to manipulate the surrounding earth elements, allowing them to move freely underground, with a distance not exceeding 50 meters.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Class talent 'Ultimate Sublimation' activated; Earth-Escaping Technique has been upgraded to Space Jump.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Forbidden Spell - Space Jump: A Forbidden Spell Mage sacrifices their own organs to achieve short-distance cross-spatial movement, during which they are immune to any physical attacks and the vast majority of energy attacks.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, space was torn apart, revealing a deep, black, boundless void, which swallowed Ye Lin directly and caused him to disappear from where he stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, another person entered the public restroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That person was wearing a trench coat and had a slender figure.
