Chapter 657: The events of that year!

Seeing these words, Lin Yang became interested.

After flipping through for a while, he furrowed his brows.

Every time the Bronze Door appears, someone has more or less gone inside.

This is what made him feel shocked.

He felt that only by finding the key could he enter the Bronze Door.

But the record states that someone has passed through the Bronze Door.

He kept this matter in mind.

Later, when he goes out, he can ask Xiang Yong whether this is true.

After looking through for a while, Lin Yang also obtained some of the information he wanted.

As he walked out of the archive room, the three were playing chess.

Hua Wenwu placed a piece and said.

"Every time I play chess with you, I lose money to you!"

"You still call me stingy to outsiders, really annoying!"

When Lin Yang walked up to them, all three looked at him.

Xiang Yong looked at Lin Yang and asked with a chuckle.

"How is it, have you found the information you wanted?"

"More or less, but I have a question."

"Was it really true that someone once passed through the Bronze Door?"

Xiang Yong fell silent for a moment, then nodded and said.

"That's right."

"Then why isn't it detailed in the record?"

"It's because I didn't allow it to be recorded."

Seeing that Lin Yang was about to press further, Xiang Yong said.

"If you have time, come to my place tonight and we can talk slowly."

Lin Yang did not refuse Xiang Yong's invitation and nodded.

"Okay."

Hua Wenwu glanced and spat.

"Old fox."

Xiang Yong laughed heartily and did not rebut.

"Let's disperse, let's disperse."

"If the old one sees this, we'll have to talk to him again."

In the evening, Lin Yang went to the address given by Xiang Yong and arrived at a mansion.

Looking at the huge mansion, but with no sign at the gate, Lin Yang raised his eyebrows.

At that moment, the middle gate opened wide, and a steward-like person extended his hand and said.

"Mr. Lin, please."

Lin Yang entered.

As soon as he entered, he saw Xiang Yong trimming the potted plants.

Seeing Lin Yang enter, he smiled and said.

"With nothing to do, I'm trimming these things."

Lin Yang looked around the interior and asked.

"Where are your family members?"

"Except for a grandson, the others all return here well."

"After all, with so many people coming and going, we'd be gossiped about."

"They only come back to stay during the New Year."

Saying that, he stood up and said.

"Come on, let's go inside and sit."

Upon entering the house, servants immediately brought tea.

After taking a sip, Xiang Yong looked at Lin Yang with a cheerful smile.

"Looking at your materials, it's truly admirable, the waves behind push forward those ahead."

"You have done what our generation wanted to do but could not."

Listening to Xiang Yong's words, Lin Yang shook his head and said.

"If you weren't concerned about the whole country, you would have already gone to Fusang and killed them."

Upon hearing that, Xiang Yong sighed.

"After all, there is no past."

"But fortunately, with you, one person almost devastated Fusang."

Changing the subject, he looked at Lin Yang and said.

"You want to know about the Bronze Door because you want to become stronger, right?"

He stared at Lin Yang for a moment, then waved his hand, and all the servants left.

In the spacious hall, only the two of them remained.

Regarding this, Lin Yang also did not hide anything.

"That's right, I want to become stronger."

Hearing that, Xiang Yong laughed loudly.

"Refreshing, I like it!"

After saying that, he sighed and spoke.

"Back then, someone entered the Bronze Gate, but before that person went in, many people had already died."

Upon hearing Xiang Yong bring up the Bronze Gate, Lin Yang said.

"Could you explain in detail what happened?"

Xiang Yong's gaze grew deep, as if he had returned to many years ago.

"At that time, there were also two martial artists as strong as me, and two Nascent Soul cultivators."

"There were also many members of the Heavenly Martial Hall's Dragon Group."

As he spoke, it seemed he thought of something.

"The Dragon King of that term also went with me."

After saying that, he sighed.

"But they all died."

Lin Yang frowned and asked.

"How could that be? With such a lineup, even against a peak Nascent Soul we'd have a fighting chance, right?"

Xiang Yong, however, shook his head and said.

"We were defeated by the Bronze Gate."

"Or rather, they all became sacrifices."

"Sacrifices?"

Seeing Lin Yang frown, Xiang Yong said.

"Back then, we attacked the Bronze Gate, hoping to break it open by sheer manpower."

"But we all failed, instead provoking a backlash."

"The Bronze Gate began to absorb blood and vital energy."

"Once the Nascent Soul cultivators were drained, it turned to the Divine Realm martial artists."

"I was far away at the time and managed to escape calamity."

This statement made Lin Yang doubtful about that gate.

Could it be that it's not just a simple gate?

That suction reduced our people to less than one in ten.

"In my anger, I planned to bring explosives to destroy it."

"The explosives we stockpiled could destroy a mountain range without issue."

"But after ignition, the promised energy was all absorbed, and the gate didn't budge an inch."

"Just when we were desperate and helpless, a warrior angrily grabbed his blade and charged, wanting to vent his fury!"

"But strangely, his body passed straight through the Bronze Gate."

"Later I checked the records and found that we weren't the only ones to experience this."

"That's why I said it was a sacrifice."

Lin Yang furrowed his brows tightly.

"It seems the Bronze Gate isn't as simple as I thought."

"Only by going myself can I find out."

At that moment, Xiang Yong patted Lin Yang's shoulder and said.

"If you want to pursue strength, don't casually approach the Bronze Gate."

"You're still young, the road is long."

As he spoke, he stood up and said.

"I'll go get the prescription for you to see; perhaps the pills refined from it could boost your strength."

After Xiang Yong left, Lin Yang was thinking.

"What exactly is the Bronze Gate?"

At that moment, a young man walked in.

"Grandfather, I'm back."

The young man was in his twenties and quite handsome.

Seeing Lin Yang seated, he furrowed his brows and after a moment asked.

"Are you the guest my grandfather mentioned?"

"Earlier, when I was out playing, my grandfather sent a message saying a guest had come to the house."

"It's definitely the type he likes, so he told me to come back and take a look."

Seeing Lin Yang nod, Xiang Zhen Tian said.

"Are you also a martial artist?"

"What he likes can only be a martial artist."

"And a martial artist with strong combat ability."

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang nodded and said.

"I suppose so."

Hearing that, Xiang Zhen Tian, eager to try, said.

No wonder my grandfather said I would like it; it turns out I found someone I can practice with.

Come on, let's have a match.

Whoever loses will take the other as their boss.

Lin Yang hesitated upon hearing that, then said.

That's not quite right.

Xiang Zhentian burst out laughing.

Don't worry, I'll hold back.

Seeing Xiang Zhentian's fighting spirit, Lin Yang also smiled.

Although this guy is eager for a fight, he lacks the arrogant air of those young masters; he nodded and said.

All right.

Xiang Zhentian thought, this is the guest Xiang Yong found for him.

When I make a move, I'll give Lin Yang a slight edge.
