Chapter 384 Behind the array was actually a dilapidated courtyard? And in front of the gate was a...

"Hooray!!!"

"It's finally broken open!"

Looking at the scene that suddenly opened up before her, Lin Xiyue jumped up in excitement and couldn't help but cheer aloud.

This tedious "piling" life had finally come to an end!

"Let's go, let's go! Let's hurry over and see what treasures are hidden inside!"

Without another word, she stomped her feet hard against the ground, turning into a swift and peerless streak of light as she dashed impatiently toward the deepest part of the area where the mist had dissipated.

"Wait!"

"Miss Xiyue, be careful!"

"There might be danger inside!"

Seeing this, Li Fan felt his heart tighten. He was about to warn Lin Xiyue to be safe and not charge in too recklessly.

But by the time he shouted, Lin Xiyue's vigorous figure had long since vanished, leaving only a faint afterimage in the air.

"Sigh... Sister Yue is just too impatient!"

Gu Zhiyun looked in the direction Lin Xiyue had disappeared and shrugged helplessly.

However, her large eyes were also flickering with intense curiosity and excitement.

"Never mind, let's hurry over and take a look too!"

"I really want to know what kind of good stuff is being protected behind such an awesome Formation!"

With that, Gu Zhiyun also tapped her toes lightly, her figure rising gracefully into the air as she flew over enthusiastically.

"Miss Gu, you!"

Seeing Gu Zhiyun also vanish without a second thought,

Li Fan grew even more anxious.

Every corner of this ancient Secret Realm exuded an extraordinary aura;

if there really was some danger, it would be big trouble!

"Alright, kid, hurry up and follow them."

"Don't let them actually touch something they shouldn't move."

Seeing Li Fan standing there like a fool, Old Sword immediately urged him on.

Although he hadn't sensed any dangerous aura inside earlier,

one could never be too cautious when inside the ancient ruins of a strange world.

"Alright, Old Sword, I'm going now!"

Hearing this, Li Fan no longer hesitated.

Circulating the spiritual energy within his body, he also leaped up, pulling away from the ground and following closely behind.

It was worth mentioning that,

during these two days of high-intensity Formation-breaking tempering,

not only had Li Fan's Sword Intent become increasingly solid, but his cultivation had also progressed naturally, finally crossing that threshold and officially entering the Spirit Sea Realm!

So, now he could finally experience the joy of flying through the air on his own.

He no longer had to be like an accessory, relying on the power of Old Sword's remnant soul to dangle him through the sky.

...

On the other side,

Lin Xiyue sped along, passing through the area that had once been shrouded in mist.

As the concentration of Spiritual Qi in the surroundings grew higher and higher,

she finally saw the true scene hidden behind the Formation at the end of her vision.

However,

when she clearly saw the image there,

Lin Xiyue slammed on the brakes, stopping in mid-air with a face full of immense surprise and bewilderment.

"Eh??"

"This is..."

"A very simple farmhouse courtyard?"

Directly ahead of her was not some treasury filled with Immortal Artifacts and divine medicines, nor was it some magnificent ancient immortal palace.

All there was was just a farmhouse courtyard enclosed by a bamboo fence, looking ordinary and even somewhat crude.

A large willow tree grew in the courtyard, along with a few vegetable patches that looked somewhat desolate.

"No way..."

"After all that effort, and even hearing such a terrifying roar,"

"it turns out the thing protected behind this Formation... is just such an ordinary courtyard?"

Lin Xiyue could hardly believe her eyes.

The thing guarded by the Formation was actually just a slightly shabby little courtyard.

This didn't fit her expectations at all!

But since she was already here, she had to see it through.

Therefore, she didn't stop her steps. Instead, she restrained her aura and slowly descended from the sky, coming directly to the front of that small courtyard.

"Let me see what's actually inside..."

Lin Xiyue muttered as she reached out, preparing to push open the half-closed old wooden door to investigate the courtyard.

However,

just as her gaze inadvertently swept over a corner beneath the wooden door,

her movements immediately froze in place, as if a pause button had been pressed!

At that moment,

Lin Xiyue even forgot to breathe. Her large eyes were wide and round as she stared fixedly at a creature lying in that corner.

An unspeakable shock swept through her mind like a tidal wave!

"Holy crap!!!"

"This... how is this possible?!"

"In an ancient ruin thousands of meters beneath the deep sea..."

"In front of the gate of this courtyard that has existed for who knows how many years..."

"There's... there's actually a... living guard dog?!"

Lin Xiyue was completely stunned!

Her inner self suffered a violent impact!

That's right!

At this very moment, beneath that dilapidated wooden door,

there was a well-proportioned, glossy-furred... Big Yellow Dog lying quietly!

It had its head resting on its two front paws, eyes closed, sleeping soundly with steady breaths.

It seemed to be sleeping very deeply.

Even though an "intruder" like Lin Xiyue had already walked up to it, it didn't notice at all, not even lifting an eyelid!
