Chapter 497

Inside the dragon lair, Ji Lanchu's entire body was glowing brightly as the shadows of dragons and phoenixes danced around her.

Ever since she was thrown into this place by Huangfu Wuji, fragmented images kept appearing in her mind.

At first, she did not know what they were, but as she slowly digested them, she gradually realized that they were inheritances!

The fragmented images gradually became complete in her mind. She slowly learned about the Kunlun Ruins and the origins of her Ji clan.

Everyone knew that about 67,555 years ago, the first Dragon Emperor came out of the Kunlun Ruins alive and brought out the Kunlun Sword and Kunlun Mirror. From then on, he swept through the Ancient Nine Provinces and established a unified empire.

Everyone thought that the first Dragon Emperor had a heaven-defying fortuitous encounter, and Ji Lanchu originally thought so too.

However, when she stood in the dragon lair and experienced everything that the first Dragon Emperor had experienced, she realized that it was not a coincidence at all. It was inevitable.

It turned out that a long time ago, probably in the ancient times, the ancestors of the Ji clan came from the Kunlun Ruins.

Ji Lanchu saw a vast starry sky from her inherited memories. The earliest ancestor of the Ji clan had crossed the starry sky one day and descended onto this land.

However, a war broke out later on. The war messed up everything, causing the ancestors of the Ji clan to stay on the continent and gradually assimilate with the other clans.

After 63,555 years, the descendants of the Ji clan had almost forgotten everything about their ancestors. It was only when the first Dragon Emperor stepped into the Kunlun Ruins by chance and activated the bloodline inheritance that the Ji clan regained its glory.

Ji Lan was standing in this place for the first time and was experiencing the same things as the first Dragon Emperor back then.

The first Dragon Emperor's bloodline had returned to the ancient times and awakened the powerful physique of the Dragon-Phoenix Body. At the same time, he had obtained the Kunlun Sword and Kunlun Mirror and mastered various related secret techniques.

Among them, the most tempting thing was the power of the dragon vein under the Kunlun Ruins. The Ji clan had mastered the ancient method to control it.

Beneath her feet was a giant starry sky dragon that possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth.

The first Dragon Emperor had great wisdom. He knew that although he had the ancient art, the power of the dragon vein was too majestic. With his cultivation realm, there was no way he could control it. Thus, he chose to give up and only took the Kunlun Sword and Kunlun Mirror.

However, the Second Generation Dragon Emperor was different. He was trapped at the peak of the Celestial Being Realm and was trying to break through the restrictions of heaven and earth. Hence, he set his sights on the Dragon Vein.

But in the end, he failed and perished in this place. Until Huangfu Wuji arrived ten thousand years later …

Ji Lanchu understood everything and also understood why Huangfu Wuji brought her here.

He wanted to possess the power of the dragon vein, but only she, who possessed the Dragon-Phoenix Body, could do that.

He wanted her to obtain the inheritance and then plunder it from her!

Ji Lanchu, who had received the inheritance, was in a state of panic. Although she had received the inheritance, the time was too short. There was no way she could convert it into real power.

Under these circumstances, she was like a fish on the chopping board, and she could only allow Huangfu Wuji to slaughter her.

Thus, she pretended that the process of inheritance was not over yet as she thought of a way to escape.

But today, this method of delaying seemed to be useless.

For some reason, since a few hours ago, the Dragon Vein under her feet had started to stir. She could sense that there was an undercurrent of energy surging within the frozen dragon corpse.

The Dragon Vein seemed to be affected by some unknown reason and was about to erupt like a volcano.

Rumble!

At a certain moment, the entire mountain range started to tremble. Countless pieces of ice and crushed rocks fell and rolled down the ice cliffs.

Ji Lanchu could not even stand steadily. She looked around in panic, not knowing what was happening.

"Haha Jie, little girl, scram to the side. Don't come and obstruct me. The power here is not something you can control. "

At this moment, the Man with a bamboo hat flew above the dragon nest. With a wave of his hand, Ji Lanchu flew up and was thrown to the side.

Then, the Man with a bamboo hat actually flew toward the huge dragon head alone. No one knew what he was trying to do.

"What is he trying to do?"

Ji Lanchu was bewildered. The Dragon Vein was currently in an extremely unstable state. The Man with a bamboo hat was simply courting death by getting so close to it.

If he coveted the power of the Dragon Vein, he should not be able to do it without the Ji Family's ancient technique.

Her thoughts were quickly interrupted by the sounds that came from outside. She sensed the fluctuations of an intense battle and even heard Huangfu Wuji's arrogant laughter!

"Haha, remnant of the Gu Family, is this all you have? You are not even fit to carry my shoes! "

The Kunlun Thearch Sword in Huangfu Wuji's hand stabbed out repeatedly, turning into streaks of shocking sword light. Gu Chen was covered in cuts and bruises as he dodged in panic.

Huangfu Wuji was too strong. Gu Chen used all his skills, but he could not even break the defense of the Kunlun Mirror. He was already at the juncture of life and death!

Clang!

Another golden sword light descended from the sky. Gu Chen narrowly avoided it, but half of his hair was cut off!

"Gu Chen!"

A cry came from the top of the mountain, causing Gu Chen to be greatly shocked.

"Lanchu …"

He raised his head and saw Ji Lanchu standing on the glacier, looking at him with a panicked expression.

"Hmm? Why did you run out? Where is the Man with a bamboo hat? "

Huangfu Wuji sensed something and turned his head with a frown.

He clearly told the Man with a bamboo hat to watch over this woman. How did he let her escape?

However, he did not care about this. The corner of his mouth raised into a sinister arc.

"You came at the right time. Watch how I personally kill this remnant of the Gu Family!"

He looked at Gu Chen with a cold expression. "Remnant of the Gu Family, I will kill you today, then sleep with your woman and seize her inheritance!"

Ji Lanchu's Dragon-Phoenix Physique had mutated the moment she was born. Whoever obtained her first time would obtain great benefits.

Since she had already left the dragon's lair, it meant that she had already obtained the inheritance. Under such circumstances, Huangfu Wuji could not suppress his desire.

He wanted to control the power of the dragon vein. He wanted to break through to the Celestial Being Stage and see how wonderful this world was!

"Lanchu, I'll stop him! Run, run out of Kunlun Ruins! "

Gu Chen charged at Huangfu Wuji immediately. He ignored the threat of the Kunlun Sword and only wanted to help Ji Lanchu escape.

As long as she could escape from Kunlun Ruins, she would be safe with the army outside.

"Naive! Just like how your grandfather couldn't save your grandmother back then, you can't save her either. The three generations of the Gu family are ultimately just my pitiful bone nurturers! "

Huangfu Wuji revealed a mocking gaze and casually waved the Kunlun Emperor Sword in his hand!

Boom!

Under the attack of the divine weapon that claimed to be the most powerful in the entire continent, Gu Chen was sent flying at a speed even faster than when he arrived, smashing heavily onto the ground.

"Ugh."

Blood flowed from his mouth as he lay in the pit, unable to get up for a while. His pupils were a little unfocused!

"Die, I've had enough!"
