Chapter 474: Li Yishan's Surprise! Chang'an Yin Ruins

Chang'an International Airport.

The whistling sound tore through the sky, and the silver-white airplane landed slowly.

A moment later, Zhang Fan pushed his luggage out, his expression solemn, as if he was carrying a heavy heart.

With his current realm of the Third Turn of the Zhaishou, investigating the memory of the Three-Corpse Yuan Dan wouldn't be as exhausting as before, but this time, the memory he saw on the plane was extremely special.

It could even be said to be one of the most critical memories of the 【Three-Corpse Daoist】, the former number one powerhouse in the world.

"Millennium old demon... what is his identity that makes the Three-Corpse Daoist and the Transcendent Zhenren, who has already stepped into the Pure Yang Realm, so wary?"

"And... Three-Corpse Yuan Dan... the most special Three-Corpse Yuan Dan, what would that be? It wouldn't be..."

Zhang Fan had a thousand thoughts, and a bold guess arose in his heart.

"Zhang Fan..."

At this moment, a soft call came from not far away, pulling Zhang Fan's thoughts back. Looking up, he saw a bright and tall beautiful figure walking towards him.

"Qiwu, long time no see," Zhang Fan said with a light laugh.

Every time he came to Chang'an, he had to trouble Meng Qiwu. There was no way around it; who let this proud daughter of heaven be a high-ranking disciple of Mount Zhongnan? Chang'an was her territory to begin with.

"Hmm? You..."

Ten steps away, Meng Qiwu suddenly stopped. She looked at Zhang Fan blankly, only feeling that after a few months of not seeing him, the man in front of her seemed to have become different, and even her impression of him became blurred and chaotic at this moment.

"You... you broke through again?" Meng Qiwu couldn't help but say.

"By luck," Zhang Fan laughed lightly.

"You... how do you practice?" Meng Qiwu pouted and couldn't help but ask.

She prided herself on her high talent and was already considered top-tier among her peers, but could she be like Zhang Fan, with his realm soaring and advancing bravely? The speed was unimaginable.

"Just as Lu Zu said, cultivation is like drinking water and eating," Zhang Fan whispered.

"..."

"What level are you at?" Meng Qiwu asked persistently.

The first time she met Zhang Fan was because of the birth of the natural spirit fetus on Mount Chanbao. At that time, their realms were average, both at the Third Level of the Great Being.

Now, only half a year had passed. Meng Qiwu was still standing still, but Zhang Fan had already broken through his realm.

One must know that at this age, being able to cultivate into a High Merit was already a genius rare in the secular world. As for the Great Being realm, that was even more of a natural seedling for Daoist cultivation, an existence capable of inheriting the mantle.

As for the Zhaishou realm, that was already like Chu Chaoran's lot, and it felt like a scam. Meng Qiwu naturally didn't think in that direction.

"Guess."

Zhang Fan smiled but didn't say much.

"Get in the car first."

Meng Qiwu glanced at him sideways, led Zhang Fan to the parking lot, put away the luggage, and drove away directly.

"Where is Yishan? Why didn't he come with you?" Zhang Fan asked suddenly.

After the Jinmen matter came to an end, he had contacted Li Yishan. The latter had said on the phone that during his time in Chang'an, he had received quite a bit of care from Meng Qiwu.

Logically speaking, the two should have come to pick him up together.

"He's missing," Meng Qiwu said while driving.

"Missing? What do you mean missing?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask: "Why is he missing again?"

The last time he came to Chang'an, it was because Li Yishan was missing.

That trip to Chang'an could be called extremely dangerous. Not only did he see the Celestial Master of the Pure Yang Wang family, but he also saw another practitioner of 【Jia Sheng Gui Si】, who was also Luo Sen, a partner from Zhang Fan's childhood orphanage, and he also saw the largest gathering of the Thirteen Zodiacs.

If it weren't for Li Yishan coming out of the Tomb of the Living Dead in time, and Zhang Sheng taking action in time, then it would have been a bit suspenseful for them to leave Chang'an safely.

"I don't know." Meng Qiwu shook her head. Through the rearview mirror, she saw Zhang Fan bowing his head to make a call.

"Don't bother calling; he's completely unreachable."

"He went out with Ergou yesterday. The last place they appeared was in the Chaoyang Lane area. I've already entrusted a friend to pull out the surveillance from that night nearby. Later, he will send it to me," Meng Qiwu said in a deep voice.

"How could he be missing?" Zhang Fan thought thoughtfully.

"He wouldn't have found the entrance to the Wu Wei Gate, would he!?"

Suddenly, a bold guess arose in Zhang Fan's heart.

This time, Li Yishan returned to find the entrance to the Wu Wei Gate and help Zhang Fan find a way to crack the Three-Corpse disaster.

"Has he been anywhere recently?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.

"Besides eating, drinking, and having fun... it seems he hasn't been to any serious places," Meng Qiwu recalled.

"..."

"He has been going to the same place these past two days."

"Where?"

"The Ghost Market!" Meng Qiwu whispered.

"Ghost Market? The antique market we went to last time?"

"No, that's on the surface. He went to the one underground," Meng Qiwu said solemnly.

"There's a Ghost Market underground in Chang'an?" Zhang Fan revealed a strange expression.

"The black market in Chang'an is divided into two types. One is the antique market I took you to last time; that's called the 'Bright Stall'."

"The Chang'an Ghost Market is the 'Dark Stall'."

Ordinary black markets are already unable to see the light; the Chang'an Ghost Market is even more outside the rules.

According to what Meng Qiwu said, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, a major earthquake caused the workshop area located on the south bank of the ancient city to undergo "geological subsidence." The earth seemed to open a giant mouth, swallowing the once prosperous market entrance, the crisscrossing streets, along with countless lives and wealth that didn't have time to escape, all into a pre-existing giant underground karst cave system.

Mud and sand poured in, partially burying it, but the huge karst cave space didn't completely collapse, instead forming an isolated underground world.

This is the Yin Ruins, also known by outsiders as the "Chang'an Ghost Market."

"That underground world has crisscrossing tunnels, countless forks, crisscrossing underground rivers, and layers upon layers, just like a natural maze..."

"Therefore, the Yin Ruins is not only the largest black market in Chang'an, but many people of all walks of life, desperate criminals, and even great demons from the Qin Ling Mountains hide there, either to avoid the world or to practice..." Meng Qiwu said solemnly.

The world says that there are many hidden practitioners under Mount Zhongnan, but they don't know that the hidden practitioners there don't even add up to a fraction of those in the Yin Ruins compared to the latter.

That underground world that never sees the sun seems to truly isolate the secular mortal world and is the true hotbed for practitioners.

"Yin Ruins... you haven't been following him these past two days?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.

"How could I follow him every day?" A strange expression appeared on Meng Qiwu's beautiful face.

"However, I heard him say that he had quite a harvest in the Yin Ruins. He was very excited when he mentioned it, saying that when you come, he wants to give you a big surprise."

"Surprise? Now it's a shock," Zhang Fan rolled his eyes.

"Shall we go take a look?"

"I'm taking you there right now." Meng Qiwu stepped on the gas, and the speed soared. The scenery outside the car window became blurred, and car after car kept retreating.

In the matter of finding Li Yishan, she seemed even more urgent than Zhang Fan.

"Slow down." ===== CHAPTER 475 =====
