Imperial Treasure-Chapter 985 - 590: Time_2

He went out and closed the door.

Sui Yi’s hand fell on Gong Jiu’s head, gently rubbing it as he softly said, "You know, the matters concerning the Eastern and Chenyu all point to Mountain Hua... Yi and I must investigate, tonight will reveal everything... But this matter, you cannot be involved in, firstly it’s not safe, secondly... you are not suitable."

Not suitable?

This word is a bit strange.

"Why say that? How do you see we’re not suitable?" Flower Demon glanced at Sui Yi and Yi, puffing out her chest. "We have what you have, what we have, you two do not."

Yi: "It’s physique."

Her expression was cool and calm. "Sui Yi and I are not ordinary humans, our capacity to accept some special energies within this space far exceeds yours... Have you not noticed that the longer you stay here, the more you feel adapted?"

"Quite so, the first day felt a bit unnatural, but today is much better, isn’t that good?"

Yi glanced at Gong Jiu, "The space requires adaptation, humans can generally adapt to one space only, Earth and the Moon can only live in one. The more adapted you are to Mountain Hua, the less adapted you will be when you leave, if you stay a few more days, you’ll face great trouble when you exit."

"That’s why most people inside Mountain Hua rarely leave, because once they do, they die!"

"But that Mu Ziyu..."

"He’s an S-level, his adaptability is strong, he can minimize the differences between two spaces, but you can’t."

Damn!

Feeling underestimated in strength again.

But Gong Jiu and the others had nothing to say, only then they realized Sui Yi and Yi had seen through Mountain Hua since the first day they arrived.

No, it should be said Natasha and Frank had warned about the dangers in Mountain Hua, back then they felt it was alarmist talk, after entering it didn’t feel much either, turns out the danger had crept into their bodies long ago.

Ye Zixu took a deep breath, speaking gravely: "I understand now, my great uncle indeed told me once when he came to Mountain Hua, I asked him to take me along, but he refused, saying I shouldn’t come... Thinking back, this must be the reason..."

He looked at Gong Jiu and the others: "Let’s go out, we should all leave."

Helplessly, Gong Jiu and the others could only leave.

Sui Yi stood before this "prison," seeing them off.

At this moment, only Yi was standing behind her.

Mu Ziyu stood on a large rock not far away.

After Gong Jiu and the others had left, Sui Yi looked at Mu Ziyu, who smiled slightly, "Ms. Yi may stay, Master Sui mustn’t leave this courtyard’s range."

Yi’s Stealth Art couldn’t be undone even by S-levels, restraining her was meaningless.

Thus Mountain Hua had not explicitly forbidden it.

"Aren’t you afraid I might leave on my own? Your Mountain Hua... can’t trap me."

"No," Mu Ziyu shook his head, "you have doubts and needs, so you won’t leave easily, besides, since you’ve agreed, you won’t easily go back on your word. This residence is the former Mountain Master’s abode, he was fond of ancient books and artifacts, the study contains many fine books. Master Sui may look through them leisurely, book by book."

With that, he turned and left.

"This person is rather interesting."

Sui Yi said faintly.

Yi showed an indifferent face, "Just a caged spirit bird, unable to become a phoenix."

High standards indeed, Yi.

However... Sui Yi turned her face,

The True Yuan within this person is already shackled, she must have realized Mountain Hua’s abnormality.

Under the sparse moon, lit slightly by lamps, Sui Yi lifted the curtain to see on the opposite side across the steep cliff lined with trees, about a dozen meters away, there was another clifftop dwelling.

The person opposite also happened to raise their curtain.

It was the man with the Zhong siblings.

Zhong Buli and his sister should have left, their prowess unable to sustain a prolonged stay at Mountain Hua, and the Zhong Family surely knows this.

But this man remained.

Seemingly intending to stay.

The man nodded slightly towards Sui Yi, then went on to light a candle.

Sui Yi also turned and began to tidy the bookshelf.

This was once someone else’s residence, wooden structured, regularly cleaned, very tidy, with a fragrant scent of green wood, no wonder Gong Jiu and the others liked it so much...

"Books... one by one, ancient books and artifacts?"

Sui Yi picked up an ancient book introducing artifacts from the shelf, flipping open the first page.

Took out a piece of paper hidden within.

It had a line of words:

—Act tonight, in Northern Prison’s interior.

How many people were left in the mountain?

Not many, seeing the corpse of the once-renowned and notorious Seventh Elder of Mountain Hua, the Mountain Master’s own brother, being brutally murdered, and noticing the eerie captivity of Sui Tang Square’s bizarre Primordial Times, anyone with a bit of wit could smell a scent.

A scent that couldn’t be masked by the Yun Family Fort’s massacre bloodshed.

One was an ancient closed case from however many years ago, the other a current murder case, what exactly is their aim?

Even Kings felt their hearts tremble with fear, leaving Mountain Hua urgently the same day as Gong Jiu and the others.

Thus, Mountain Hua seemed to return to its tranquility and native form as before the Mount Hua Swordsmanship Conference that night.

Just like many years, many years ago, the ancient Mountain Hua.

Outside Mountain Hua.

It was the real world.

After Gong Jiu and the others left that misty area and walked for a long time, they suddenly saw many tourists, suddenly realizing it was daylight.

No, or perhaps it had been daylight all along?

Flower Demon took advantage of her beauty to catch a beautiful woman and asked a particularly odd question: Beautiful lady, what’s today’s date and time?

When the woman responded, surprised and flattered, with the time.

"Damn, only eight hours have passed?"

They entered in the morning, came out in the afternoon, exactly eight hours.

But they had stayed in "Mountain Hua" for at least 24 hours, a day and night, right? Three times the time ratio? (To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
