Land of Demons and Gods

Chapter 36 Numerology

While running along with Ye Ziyun, and avoiding the normal Giant Blue Armed Apes, the night deepened. If they were to continue moving forward, it would be easy for them to encounter dangers.

"Lets camp in this place!" Nie Li looked towards Ye Ziyun and said.

Although it's dark in the night, Ye Ziyun still displayed courage far from normal girls. Her clear eyes looked towards the distant dense forest, a shadow caught her eye.

"What's that?" Ye Ziyun asked, puzzled.

"Seems to be a building!" Nie Li said with a slight frown. It should be a dilapidated building.

"Lets go have a look," suggested Ye Ziyun as she strode towards that direction. For her be alone with Nie Li, made her a little nervous. After all, it's her first time staying the night with a boy. Although she believes that Nie Li wouldn't do anything to her, her heart still beats wildly. Hence, she tried to divert their direction. Nie Li followed behind Ye Ziyun and headed towards that direction.

"This place could've been a statue!" Nie Li said. He couldn't make out what the sculpture was since it had already collapsed.

Here vague remnants the civilisation before the Age of Darkness remained.

"What are these words?" Ye Ziyun looked at Nie Li and asked.

There is a stone tablet below the statue. Nie Li brushed off the dust on the surface and, with the aid of the moonlight, he was able to clearly make out the words on it.

"This was the language of the Sacred Empire," he explained, "It says: Those who follows me, shall be honoured. Those who oppose me, shall be perished. What big words!"

These words were probably left behind by some tyrant. The power and position of that tyrant should be very high. But even so, so what? He and his empire were eventually engulfed by the tide of demon beasts. Once a formidable person ended up as dirt, and left a broken statue behind.

"Nie Li, how did you learn the language of Sacred Empire?" asked Ye Ziyun, filled with curiosity regarding this matter. There are only a few that know a little bit of the Sacred Empire language.

"How did I learn it?" Nie Li smiled. He couldn't really say that he learnt all of Divine Continent's era, language and cultivation techniques, right?

"Since you're unwilling, forget it!" Ye Ziyun said, pouting.

Nie Li shrugged. It's not that he wasn't willing to tell, it's just that even if he were to tell her, Ye Ziyun wouldn't be able to understand.

Ye Ziyun bypassed the statue. Just when she is preparing to check out the ruins, she suddenly screamed.

Nie Li realised that the place that Ye Ziyun was standing in was rapidly sinking in. His face changed, and he immediately rushed towards Ye Ziyun. However, the ground seemed to sink even more. A powerful suction sucked the both of them downwards. The bottom seemed to be a bottomless abyss.

'Why would Ancient Orchid City have a place like this?' Nie Li silently asked himself as he hugged Ye Ziyun tightly, and drew out his sword, nailing it into the cliff beside them.

When he attempted to nail the sword into the stone wall, *snap* it broke. The stone wall was too tough.

'What the heck is this place?'

He looked down to see what's at the bottom and he realised that beneath them was complete dark, unable to see anything.

At this moment, Ye Ziyun took advantage of the moment, since the speed of their descent had temporarily dropped. She quickly took out a rope from her interspatial ring, and hooked it onto the bulged area on the cliff. *Peng* both of them pulled onto the string, and managed to stop falling.
