Chapter 2242 - Forbidden Land
Chapter 2242 Forbidden Land
The child was not very young, and looks like he was eight or nine years old. However, the aura on his body and the brocade suit didn’t look like someone living in the village.
The little child didn’t seem to be particularly surprised by the chase just now, nor was he excited about the what had entailed after, he seemed to be used to it. However, Sima You Yue still saw the fear of death in his eyes.
The little guy bowed deeply to her: “Thank
you.”
“Who are you? Why are you here? Who is the one who is chasing you?” Wu Xiao Dao asked.
The little guy pursed his lips: “Thank you for your help today. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay. Farewell!” After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
“Hey, little guy, we saved you, why are you attitude like this?” Wu Xiao Dao grabbed his collar and didn’t let him go. They haven’t asked him about this place yet, how could they let him go like this?
This place was too strange. There were no spirit beasts and no people. They did dare not go anywhere, for fear of encountering something unknown. Now that they had finally meet someone, how can they let him go like this?
The little guy’s clothes were caught, he struggled twice, but when he saw no effect, the breath all over his body sank, and he turned to attack Wu Xiao Dao.
Wu Xiao Dao grabbed his hand and said, “Little guy, you do not even know how to repay kindness!”
“If I don’t know how to repay kindness, then I won’t leave you.” The little guy said coldly, “It’s dangerous to follow me, I don’t want to implicate you.”
“Yo, the little guy has a quite the temper.” Wu Xiao Dao let go of him, “You are such a little guy, there is no guard around you, and someone is chasing you, can you get out of here alive? If you leave just like that, isn’t that seeking death?”
“I…” The little guy bit his lip, “As long as I can get out of here alive, I won’t be in danger for the time being.” “Then can you get out of here alive?” Wu Qi Yao asked.
C
The little guy was silent and didn’t answer.
Get out of here alive? He was alone, is it possible?
“What’s your name?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Jia Nan Dan.”
“Jia Nan…” Sima You Yue crouched down, straightened his clothes, looked at the leaf emblem on the corner of his clothes, and asked, “Do you know Jia Nan Xin?”
“You know my big brother?” Jia Nan Dan raised his head and looked at her in surprise, then took two steps back defensively, “Who are you? Are you here to hunt me down?” Wu Xiao Dao tapped him on the head: “Are you stupid? If we were hunting you down, why did we save you just now?”
Sima You Yue knew that he was being cautious, but unfortunately a child was still a child, so he revealed everything already when she asked.
“I’m from the same sect as him,” she explained, “so you don’t have to be afraid.”
Jia Nan Dan stared at her for a while, and suddenly looked like he was suddenly enlightened: “You are Sima You Yue, right?”
Sima You Yue raised her eyebrows: “You know me?”
“Are you really Sima You Yue?” Joy flashed on Jia Nan Dan’s face, “I heard my Big Brother say that he had a very good friend where he studied and said that she would come to Divine Realm. It can make Big Brother praise him. If you are the only woman, you can be sure that it is you.”
“You and your Big Brother have a good relationship? Why are you being hunted down? Where is Jia Nan Xin? Where is this place?” Wu Xiao Dao asked a series of questions.
“My Big Brother has been taking care of me ever since I was born. This time he went out to do business. I heard that he was in danger, so I brought people over here. I didn’t expect to be trapped by the enemy. As for the person who was chasing me, I would not know who it is.” “Do you have many enemies?” “There are a lot of people who don’t like my Big Brother. Knowing the relationship between my Big Brother and I, they all want to start with me.” Jia Nan Dan said in a low voice, knowing where he went wrong this time.
Since he knew that many people would start with him, this time he still hurriedly brought people out without proper preparations.
Sima You Yue didn’t accuse him, didn’t have this idea or that position, and asked: “Do you know where this place is? We’ve walked a long way here, and we haven’t seen a single spirit beast or a single person. Do you know why?”
“This is the Forbidden Land. All the people here have been driven away. If they are found, they will die!” Jia Nan Dan said. If he hadn’t had no choice, his guards wouldn’t have brought him to this place.
“Forbidden Land? What kind of Forbidden Land?” Wu Qi Yao asked.
“Voracity Palace’s Forbidden Land! Don’t you know?” Jia Nan Dan felt that it wasn’t quite right after he finished speaking. He touched the back of his head and said, “You just arrived in the Divine Realm, so it’s normal if you don’t know. What, the people from the Voracity Palace put this place into their Forbidden Land and drove away the people and beasts here. People are usually not allowed to enter here, if they are found, they will be hunted down by the Voracity Palace.”
“Voracity Palace? Is it very powerful?” Wu Xiao Dao asked.
“Of course! This is the most powerful force in the Divine Realm, because they have Tao Tie[1] in charge, they are very powerful!” Thinking of the methods of the Voracity Palace, and thinking about how he came here, he shuddered with fright.
The Voracity Palace? Sima You Yue raised her eyebrows, if she remembered correctly, Tao Tie was one of the four ancient beasts, but they were the four perils[2], renowned malevolent beings right? Crimson Flame and the others are divine beasts, and there are only four beasts who can wound and kill all four of them. Could it be that this Voracity Palace also participated in it at the beginning?
“Tao Tie? Does this Divine Realm also have Qiong Qi[3], Tong Tu[4] and Hun Dun[5]?” Wu Xiao Dao asked curiously. “That’s right! Now Divine Realm can be said to be ruled by the Four Palaces. Tao Tie’s Voracity Palace, Qiong Qi’s Sanguinary Palace, Tong Tu’s Obdurate Palace and Hun Dun’s Maelstrom Palace. They are all very fierce. If they knew that we were here, we would definitely not be able to live! Let’s go!” Jia Nan said anxiously.
“Do you know how to get out?” Sima You Yue asked.
Jia Nan Dan blushed and whispered, “I was brought here by the guards in a hurry. I don’t know how far I ran, and I used a one-time teleportation array, so I don’t know my current location.”
Sima You Yue and the others were speechless. Seeing what he said before, they must have been anxious. They thought he knew how to
go!
“Looks like it’s just a fog now.” Sima You Yue sighed, “Do you know which direction you guys came from?”
“I don’t know.” Jia Nan shook his head.
“Was it morning or afternoon when you came in? Is the sun in front of you but behind you?”
When she asked this question, Jia Nan Dan understood and replied, “The sun had already set when we came in, but I remember that we kept running forward, and the sun was behind us before it set.”
“So you were escaping from west to east.” Sima You Yue looked up at the sun, “Then let’s go west, maybe we can get out with luck.” “Mother, why do you think this Voracity Palace has a Forbidden Land here? Do you think there will be any treasures in it?” Wu Xiao Dao stepped forward to grab Sima You Yue’s hand and asked in excitement.
