Chapter 271

Just as everyone turned to leave, suddenly, a melodious and plaintive song drifted from afar.

The singing was like heavenly music, ethereal and melodious, as if it possessed a magical power that could penetrate the depths of one's soul, making one want to trace its source.

Mo Yu, who was always highly vigilant, suddenly changed his expression and shouted, "This singing is very strange and eerie. Everyone, please do not be fooled by it!"

Even though everyone knew there might be danger, the singing seemed to be under a spell, causing their bodies to move slowly and involuntarily toward the direction from which the singing came.

And so, accompanied by the melodious and gentle singing, the group of people were as if under a spell, and involuntarily moved in the direction from which the singing came.

They walked along winding paths and crossed lush, verdant woods, and before they knew it, they arrived at a secluded side hall.

This side hall looks somewhat old, yet it exudes a mysterious aura.

Just then, everyone's attention was drawn to a beautiful figure inside the hall.

A woman dressed in a snow-white long dress stood gracefully in the hall, her silver hair cascading down to her waist like a waterfall, swaying gently in the wind.

The woman's face was absolutely stunning. Her fair skin was as smooth and delicate as white jade, without any flaws. Her beautiful eyes were like deep lakes, seemingly containing a thousand kinds of charm. One glance was enough to make anyone fall in love with her and be unable to extricate themselves.

She was gently parting her lips, softly singing an unknown song in her gentle and melodious voice.

Upon seeing the crowd, the woman slowly stopped singing, a meaningful smile appearing on her lips.

That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, beautiful and delicate, yet carrying a mysterious and enigmatic quality.

Upon seeing Gu Shihan and her group, she spoke softly, "You... have finally arrived. I have waited for far too long!"

Although it was only a few words, the way she spoke them seemed to contain endless profound meaning and mystery, making people want to explore the secrets hidden behind them.

Faced with this mysterious and unpredictable woman, Gu Shihan felt a sense of vigilance.

He frowned and asked in a serious tone, "Who exactly are you? Why did you lead us here? What is your purpose?"

The beautiful woman did not give an answer immediately; she simply gazed at Gu Shihan and the others, her eyes revealing a complex emotion.

After a moment, the woman slowly spoke, "What you are so desperately seeking is all inextricably linked to me. Come with me. If you want to know the truth, I will tell you everything. The peace of the Immortal Realm still needs you..."

After speaking, the woman turned and slowly walked into the depths of the hall. Her light steps seemed to tread on soft clouds, and she landed without making a sound.

Without hesitation, the woman turned and strode into the inner room. The people present exchanged glances, seemingly hesitant.

The group exchanged glances, their curiosity and desire to know the answers to the unsolved mysteries overwhelming them. After a brief hesitation,
In the end, they made up their minds to follow closely behind. And so, the group filed in and entered the mysterious inner sanctum together.

As soon as they stepped into the inner hall, a delicate and refreshing fragrance wafted over them, lingering around their noses and making them feel relaxed and refreshed. The last trace of doubt in their hearts disappeared in the fragrance.

The woman gently raised her jade-like hand and waved it slightly towards the wall. In an instant, the originally smooth, mirror-like wall slowly unfolded like a scroll, and one vivid and lifelike scene after another appeared before everyone's eyes.

These images depict various hidden events and unknown secrets from the past of the immortal and demon races, including Fairy Qingchen and Fairy Qingluo, whom Gu Shihan knew. Their deaths seem to have been deliberately orchestrated...

The woman spoke softly: "I was originally a celestial being from ancient times, burdened with the responsibility of maintaining the balance of power between immortals and demons."

Unexpectedly, I was framed by a villain and forced into a long slumber. Now, as I slowly awaken from my slumber, I find that another war between immortals and demons has broken out, and the only ones who can stop this calamity are you all.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan, standing in the crowd, couldn't help but ask, "Us? We are just ordinary people, too weak and with low cultivation in this immortal realm full of experts. What merit do we have to shoulder such a heavy mission? Senior, you must be joking, right?"

The woman turned to look at Gu Shihan upon hearing the voice, her gaze lingering on her briefly before she said slowly, "You are quite good. You possess unique light and dark spiritual power, and it is rare in this world to have both. Moreover, with all of you working together in unity, your potential abilities are unfathomable and limitless! I'm counting on you!"

Suddenly, a commotion arose outside; it turned out that the demons had tracked them down to this place.

The woman's expression instantly turned serious. Her eyes were piercing as she stared intently ahead, as if she could see through all obstacles and witness the impending crisis.

She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "When I awoke, the demons were able to keenly sense the fluctuations in my aura. This place will likely suffer annihilation soon! But there is no need to worry, I will do my best to temporarily hold off the demons' attack and buy you time."

Follow the path indicated by this map. Oh, and the map you received before was only the first half. I'm giving you the second half. Please hurry and find that mysterious sacred object. Only by obtaining it can this protracted conflict between immortals and demons be completely quelled. Every day of delay will result in more casualties.

With that, the woman waved her hand gently, and a scale shimmering with a faint light appeared in her palm. She then presented the scale to Gu Shihan.

Gu Shihan took the scale and felt the mysterious power contained within it pulsating slightly, which surprised her.

She exchanged glances with the others, nodded slightly, and their eyes revealed determination and resolve.

Without the slightest hesitation, the group turned and quickly entered the secret passage, leaving the dilapidated palace.
