Seeing that Li Chang'an was determined to enter the ruins, Daoist Fire Cloud offered him some words of caution.
...
「Half an hour later.」
Li Chang'an left alone.
He found a secluded spot, opened the storage pouches of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Cyan Cloud Sect, and discarded anything suspicious.
One particular item caught his attention.
With a single thought, a tattered map appeared in his hand. It marked the locations of several estates.
The map radiated an ancient aura, as if it had been sealed away for countless ages.
'Could this be a map of the Ancient Sect's interior?'
After a moment of thought, Li Chang'an memorized the map's contents.
'If I get the chance, I'll go look for those estates.'
Afterward, he cleansed his aura and left the area.
"Dahuang, keep leading the way!"
Dahuang let out a sound of acknowledgment and followed Sima Rui's aura, heading deeper into the Black Dragon Mountain Range.
「About a quarter of an hour later.」
