Finally, the Red Cloud Demon Lord said slowly, “This address… is the location of her former sect. As for that string of runes, I have never seen them, but since she left them, they must have a purpose.
However, her sect was destroyed by me back then. Now it is likely just ruins. No matter how I searched afterwards, I never saw her again…”
After the Red Cloud Demon Lord finished speaking, he actually shed sad tears.
It was clear that the Red Cloud Demon Lord had truly fallen for that Ling Yue Immortal.
A great demon head falling for an immortal, this was indeed hard for people to accept.
After all, in many people’s eyes, demon cultivators were not proper cultivators at all.
Chen Ping frowned slightly upon hearing this. He guessed that Ling Yue Immortal had left this address and runes to convey some message or guide him to a certain place.
Back then, she had not told the Red Cloud Demon Lord directly, probably hoping he would discover the secret of the patterns later.
But who knew, the Red Cloud Demon Lord ended up becoming bloodthirsty. In the end, he was beaten to soul scattering in the Heaven-Human Realm. A wisp of remnant soul stayed in the Heaven-Human Realm and never returned.
So the secret in these patterns had remained hidden all along.
If Chen Ping had not brought the Red Cloud Demon Lord to the Nine Heavens, if the Red Cloud Demon Lord had not asked Chen Ping to hide in this place, the secret in the patterns might never have been found.
“I decide to go to this address to investigate and see if I can find any clues,” Chen Ping said.
He knew Ling Yue Immortal would not leave such things without reason.
If this address and runes could open some relic or the like, then he would have struck it rich.
Even if he found nothing, Chen Ping could just treat it as a stroll. Anyway, he had no resources now and could not cultivate.
The Red Cloud Demon Lord did not object. He just reminded Chen Ping to be careful, after all, that place was Ling Yue Immortal’s former sect. No one knew what the situation was like now.
Perhaps it was already abandoned and full of dangers. Or perhaps some residual forces were still guarding it, not allowing outsiders to intrude.
Chen Ping nodded. He knew this trip was full of unknowns and dangers, but his curiosity and desire to explore made him determined to go.
Leaving the cave, Chen Ping’s figure vanished in an instant.
Following the address on the patterns, Chen Ping found the location of Ling Yue Immortal’s former sect.
But before his eyes was a scene of desolation, as if forgotten by time.
The once grand and magnificent sect buildings now lay in broken walls and ruins, overgrown with weeds.
A gentle breeze blew through, raising puffs of dust with a rustling sound, as if telling of past glory and present desolation.
“Is this Ling Yue Immortal’s sect? You were really ruthless back then, directly wiping out the whole sect…” Chen Ping felt deep emotion in his heart.
The Red Cloud Demon Lord had destroyed this entire sect for Ling Yue Immortal.
As the saying goes, what is love? It makes people pledge life and death to each other…
Chen Ping looked around, not missing any detail, trying to find some useful clues from this desolate scene.
Chen Ping stood in the midst of this desolate sect ruins, his heart filled with endless sighs.
The once immortal sect paradise now only had broken walls and ruins, evoking deep lament.
He carefully observed the surroundings, trying to find some useful clues from them.
At that moment, Chen Ping suddenly felt the runes in his body start to warm slightly, as if resonating with some power around him.
His heart stirred. He quickly focused his senses and found that this resonance came from a direction deep in the ruins.
“Could these runes be connected to that place?”
Chen Ping pondered inwardly. He then decided to head towards the direction of the resonance.
