I'm the protagonist's dad, but the heroines want to kill me

"Okay, follow me!"

Mulan got off the carriage and climbed up the huge rocks with a nimble figure, and the others followed her.

When Lin Ran was about to fly up, he was pressed down by an invisible force just when he was a certain distance from the ground. Although it was not very strong, Lin Ran felt it clearly.

"There's a force that forbids flying here?!"

Lin Ran suddenly felt something was wrong. This place didn't look like what Mulan described. It had been dug out completely.

"master?!"

Just as Lin Ran was thinking, Fu Yuemei ran to him with a panicked expression. Just as she was about to say something, Lin Ran said, "Did you feel a force pressing you down when you were about to take off?"

"Well, what's going on, Master?"

Fu Yuemei was a little confused, as she didn't see anyone attacking her nearby.

"This is a restriction. You can think of it as a huge magic circle between heaven and earth. The one just now was a no-fly restriction. Be extra careful if you encounter it in the secret realm!"

Lin Ran explained, pointing to Chi Si Nian who were almost at the top and said, "Let's go over there first!"

Lin Ran and Fu Yuemei climbed over the rubble lightly. When Lin Ran stood on the rubble, he saw a dilapidated square in ruins. In the center of the square was a dried-up pool. There should have been a statue on the platform in the center of the pool, but the statue was broken in half and the other half was nowhere to be found.

At the end of the square is an ancient hall. The stairs in front of the hall are also in ruins, as if it had been hit by a war.

After Lin Ran landed on the square, he was very cautious. He asked all the students to stay near him and not walk around. Because of the no-fly zone law, Lin Ran felt that this place was no longer as safe as Mulan said. There must be some secret hidden in it.

The group of students also listened to Lin Ran very much. In a place like this, only by following the elders can they ensure their own safety to the greatest extent.

"Fanhua, if you find anything, remember to tell me!"

Lin Ran said this so that he could discover any problems with the ruins group in time.

After Fanhua responded, she looked at the picture of Lin Ran in Liusu Palace while looking for information in the books in the Liusu Palace.

When she saw the square for the first time, she felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen it somewhere in her memory, but she couldn't remember where, so she was trying hard to find information and force herself to recall.

At this time, Lin Ran led the team across the ruins and prepared to enter the hall.

……

121. Trust me, just hammer

The stone door of this ancient hall no longer exists. One can walk into the hall easily, and even their footsteps can be loud enough to echo in the hall. It is so empty and lonely.

Seeing that the hall was quite dark, Lin Ran was thinking of taking out a torch, but Mulan came out with many torches and flints in advance and said, "Everyone, come over here and take a torch!"

"You've thought of this very carefully!"

Lin Ran went to Mulan and got a torch, lit it, pointed to the main hall and said, "Where should we start?"

Mulan also lit a torch, pointed to the left, and said, "Let's start with the murals on the left wall. The most valuable thing in this hall is the murals. Unfortunately, no one has been able to discover anything in all these years."

At first, this group of ruins was very lively, but as people searched almost everywhere and found nothing valuable, this place gradually became deserted. Now, if people were not going to Qianlong Mountain, they would probably not pass by this place.

Perhaps fearing that Lin Ran and the others might not understand the mural, Mulan explained to them some information that had been discovered on the mural.

But Lin Ran was actually not listening at all. He was talking to the flowers in his mind.

"Have you got any idea?" Lin Ran asked.

"Not yet...wait a moment!" Fanhua replied.

After a while...

"I've almost walked through half of this hall, you better give me some response, sister!"

“It’s almost there…”

Then... Lin Ran finished touring the hall. Fanhua hadn't given any information about this place yet, which made Lin Ran a little confused about what to do.

The initial excitement of Fu Yuemei and her classmates was completely extinguished after they finished touring the hall. They could not understand the ancient characters and patterns, and even if they did study them, they only found some nonsensical and fragmented information.

The same is true for this hall. Apart from the empty space and a few supporting pillars, many of the murals are worn out. There is also a huge pile of rubble in the hall. It looks very large, but after looking around, I found that this place really looks like a sightseeing trip.

Mulan looked at the students who were a little dejected and couldn't help but comfort them: "Hey, you guys are already pretty good. When the time comes, the secret realm in Qianlong Mountain is said to contain many powerful inheritances. Those are real ruins with treasures. I'm not qualified to go in. I envy you so much!"

"In my opinion, why bother about this damn place? We have been taking care of this place for many years. If there was anything, it would have been taken away by those cunning thieves!" Mulan said.

When the students heard this, they thought about it and felt much more balanced.

Some students were preparing to go home one after another. Mulan subconsciously wanted to follow them, but suddenly she remembered her employer. She turned around and found Lin Ran standing in the middle of the hall. She couldn't help but be stunned.

Mulan shouted over there, "Mr. Lin, what are you doing over there!"

"Give me some time, I found something weird!"

Lin Ran didn't even turn his head and continued to busy himself with his own things.

From Mulan's angle, they couldn't see what Lin Ran was doing. They only saw Lin Ran with his back turned, squatting on the ground, not knowing what he was doing.

Mulan had no choice but to wait for Lin Ran at the door. After all, he was her employer, and if his employer had to stay here, she had no choice but to follow him.

Lin Ran was staring at the ground, and the voice of Fanhua sounded in his mind: "This is the place. Use your signature Dragon Fist. Remember to use the power of Tao, so that you can activate this formation."

"Are you sure this is a formation?"

Lin Ran looked at the ground in front of him. Even though he had cleared the dust off the surface, he could not see or feel that there was a formation on the bare earth-yellow ground. Could it be a lie?

"I'm not lying!"

Fanhua was so angry that she stamped her feet in front of Liusu Palace and shouted angrily: "I have found so many ancient books, do you really think I did it in vain? There must be a big gift package here. This is the place that the Qing Emperor and the Qinglong clan built together. There must be something left here."

"If we can find someone related to the Qinglong clan or the Qing Emperor, it will be of great benefit to you or Qianyi!" Fanhua said.

"Just because of what you said, I'm going to punch you!"

When Lin Ran heard Fanhua's words, he made up his mind. He stood up, turned his head and looked at Mulan and others standing at the door and said, "Push it to the center of the square first. I have something to do next."

Before Mulan could say anything, Fu Yuemei led the team to retreat to the square. Mulan saw this and quickly pulled Fu Yuemei aside, asking in surprise, "What is your teacher going to do? Don't you want to ask?"

Fu Yuemei's delicate face was somewhat puzzled. She subconsciously scratched her ear and asked in a strange tone, "Why are you asking?"

"What if there's any danger?"

Although Mulan didn't know what Lin Ran was going to do, she was still a little worried. Although many experts had come here before and returned empty-handed, this was a group of ancient ruins after all, and it was possible that she might discover something by accident.

"But Master is much better than us. Even if there is danger, I believe Master can handle it!" Fu Yuemei's eyes sparkled when she said this, full of confidence and admiration for Lin Ran.

Mulan took everyone from Linghua Academy to the center of the fountain in the square and waited. Seeing Fu Yuemei and the others doing the same, she had no choice but to retreat there as well. There was nothing she could do since their employer had paid them enough!

Lin Ran felt relieved when he saw Yuemei and the others had retreated. He took a few steps back, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

When Lin Ran opened his eyes again, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He felt the surging spiritual power in his body, and it was transferred to his right arm according to his thoughts.

The light golden spiritual power emerged from the body surface and gradually formed golden scales. In the clenched fist, there was a ferocious dragon head roaring faintly. The dazzling golden light illuminated the hall extremely brightly.

While in the square, watching the scene inside the hall and listening to the loud dragon roar coming from the hall, Mulan and others couldn't help but change their expressions. Looking at Lin Ran's posture at this time, an idea came into everyone's mind.

"Mr. Lin, he's not going to hammer through the ground, is he?"

Lin Ran, who had accumulated enough strength, took a few steps forward, pressed his feet on the ground, and rushed into the air in the hall like a cannonball that had accumulated enough strength for a long time.

"Dragon Fist - First Move!"

Lin Ran roared and threw a punch towards the center of the hall.

A giant golden dragon appeared in the sky above the hall, its body covered with fine and delicate golden scales. What surprised people the most was the dragon's ferocious eyes, flowing with black and white light, like the finishing touch to a painting, so lifelike!

"Roar!"

The loud roar of the earth dragon can be heard over thirty thousand miles.

What followed was a tremor that was enough to make the earth tremble.

"boom!"

The ground shook violently, causing Fu Yuemei in the center of the square to almost fall to the ground. However, the residual force and energy ripples brought by the giant dragon caused the dust and rocks along the way to be stirred into the air, and the square was suddenly filled with a frenzy of sand.

Yue Lei, who was waiting at the fork in the road, was still curious about where the strong energy fluctuations came from, when the next moment the ground he was standing on began to shake.

The students from Songling Academy who had just returned to the team were also shocked. They hurriedly held on to the carriage to steady themselves. They looked confused, not knowing what had happened.

"What happened in the hall? We were just there for a tour. How could something go wrong?"

When Yue Lei was about to fly over to take a look at the hall, he felt a force pressing down on him as soon as he flew into the air. Caught off guard, he fell to the ground in a ungraceful posture.

After brushing off the dust on his body, Yue Lei spat to the side and yelled, "Damn it, why is there such a no-fly zone here?"

"Stay here and don't run around!"

Yue Lei gave instructions to his seedlings and then hurried to the hall to see what had happened.

……

On a hilltop more than ten kilometers away from the ancient Dragon Gate, several caravans are stationed and repairing in a flat area. From their stationed place and carriages, it can be known that these are several powerful caravans.

When I saw the people coming and going, the tight clothes they wore and the badges on their chests, I realized that they were the convoys of Canglong, Shengqiong and Tianli Academy, which were the first to set out, as well as the Qin family and others who led the way.

Inside the tent of Tianli Academy, Lin Chong was having a private conversation with Wen Ling.

Lin Chong looked at Wen Ling with a serious expression and said, "Dean, please tell me why my father and his men haven't caught up with us yet. Did someone do something wrong?"

During this period, Lin Chong thought more and more that something was wrong. Logically speaking, the five major academies set out together, so there was no reason why Linghua and Songling Academy were nowhere to be seen, and they were getting closer and closer to Qianlong Mountain. It was really hard not to suspect that someone had done something.

Wen Ling sighed helplessly when Lin Chong asked him this. He stood up from his chair, paced in the tent, and said, "Linghua Academy and Songling Academy were targeted by the Qin family. Not only did they notify them late, but they also didn't provide them with good war horses suitable for the terrain, and they didn't even have a guide..."

"this…"

Lin Chong couldn't help but be startled, then he frowned and fell silent. He was no longer a rookie and he quickly figured out the problem.

It must have been Jin Qiusheng from Shengqiong Academy who ordered the Qin family to do it!

Apart from that, Lin Chong really couldn't imagine how his father, who was usually so cautious, would offend anyone.

"Xiao Chong, Dean, I didn't mean to hide this from you..."

Wen Ling had been away for some time and had not seen Lin Ran and the others. He learned from Lin Yi that this was a small trick that was not presentable. Wen Ling couldn't help but laugh when he heard it. He believed that Lin Ran could handle it.

But as for Lin Chong, Wenling chose to conceal the truth. He was afraid that Lin Chong would impulsively go to Jin Qiusheng and settle accounts with the Qin family.

"Don't worry, Dean. I know what you are worried about. I won't act impulsively!"

Lin Chong raised his head again, his eyes firm, and said murderously: "If anyone dares to bully my father and his people, I will settle accounts with them in the secret realm. I hope they are ready!"

"Haha, Xiao Chong, you have grown up over the years!"

Wen Ling patted Lin Chong's shoulder with satisfaction. The current Lin Chong is no longer the ambitious young man who just entered the academy, but this does not mean that his ambition is lost. It is just hidden deep inside, and when the time comes to draw the sword, the sharpness will make people tremble with fear.

"boom!"

A sound that was not too obvious was heard outside. Wen Ling was stunned. He and Lin Chong looked at each other and rushed out to see what was going on.

I saw that a lot of people had gathered outside and they all went to the cliff in the northeast direction and looked into the distance. When Wen Ling was about to find his students to ask what happened, he met Lin Yi's gaze instead.

Seeing Lin Yi looking over, Wen Ling also walked over to Lin Yi, looked towards the northeast, and asked, "Dean Lin, do you know what happened?"

"Ok!"

Lin Yi nodded, looked towards the northeast with some doubt in his eyes, and said slowly: "It seems to be... the location of the Ancient Dragon Gate..."

"Ancient Dragon Gate?"

Although Wen Ling is not an expert on everything in Qianzhou, he has done his homework. Ancient Longmen is a group of ancient ruins with no value. Why... would there be strange noises at this time? Could it be man-made? Or...

Wen Ling couldn't help but narrow his eyes. It seemed that as the secret realm of Qianlong Mountain was about to open, this vast land began to become restless.

……

122. Stone Gate

"Cough cough!"

As soon as Lin Ran came to his senses, he couldn't help but inhale a large breath of dust, and bent over and coughed in irritation. After he recovered, he couldn't help but look up. The faint light seemed to be within reach of him.

But he knew that he was very far away from the ground at this moment, conservatively estimated to be about a hundred meters away.

Lin Ran patted the dirt off his body, and golden spiritual energy flowed into his eyes, dyeing his black and white eyes into light gold. He looked around and said to himself: "Fanhua, if you don't find something, I will put you under house arrest. Don't even think about leaving Liusu Palace!"

When Fanhua heard this, she jumped up and down instantly. She shouted unhappily, "I will definitely find it. I guarantee it with my integrity!"
