It suggests that his parents probably encountered a mishap in this Evil Land.
This Evil Land is vast and comes with mountain miasmas, sometimes extremely difficult to distinguish, with quite a few surrounding mountain villages.
For someone in the Purple Mansion Realm, finding that place might not be a difficult task.
Tang Fan might have wanted to come and search too, but with many demon cultivators around the Evil Land, he had to be well-prepared. However, before he could act, he got captured.
In Song Yan’s heart, if there is a major opportunity in the Chu Kingdom, it must not bypass Tang Fan.
As part of the mysterious Ancient Race’s "Formless Clan," Tang Fan is filled with secrets.
Whether it’s his background or his parents, it is all the same...
Song Yan has a vague premonition: some opportunities originally belonging to Tang Fan might fall upon him.
...
After some playful banter with Yun Xiang and Yan Rong back at the sect, Song Yan departed from the Ghost Slaughter Sect.
He lay low outside for three days, and seeing no change at the Ghost Slaughter Sect, and Tang Fan not planning to escape, he swiftly headed towards the Evil Land.
The center is hard to define, but he could still distinguish the concentration of Evil Qi.
He simply headed towards the densest Evil Qi.
During his journey, whenever he reached a secluded spot, he tested the "Little Celestial Dao Gathering Introduction Array," discovering that only when the "Wood Profound White Cave Crystal Jade" is placed at the center of the Array Plate does it pull in the thin wood attribute Profound Qi nearby, functioning almost the same as the "Five Elements Gathering Profound Array."
And if nothing is placed, the "Little Celestial Dao Gathering Introduction Array" is completely ineffective.
Song Yan wasn’t discouraged; he knew he seemed to lack experiment materials, and during the engraving of the Array Plate, he vaguely sensed that his Array Plate should at least be compatible with the gathering of "Five Elements" and "Divine Soul."
Perhaps, other items can be gathered too.
But the premise is the need for corresponding "White Cave Crystal Jade."
Song Yan walked and stopped, searching everywhere, and soon time moved swiftly from late autumn to deep winter.
...
The Cang Mountain carried snow, boundless and traceless.
Suddenly, from afar came a rumbling sound, black and white mixing together, rolling down from a high place.
It was an avalanche!
Yet, in such a place, deserted in all seasons, even an avalanche would not cause any casualties.
The snow fog lifted long-standing dust.
And it seemed the avalanche triggered something, another intense tremor shook the mountains, but it stopped after just ten breaths or so.
Yet shortly after, the mountains were hit by another even fiercer vibration, succeeded by consecutive avalanches and landslides.
This went on until most of the day had passed when it finally subsided.
The landscape in the deep mountains slightly changed, the surface rocks appeared with several deep fissures, blood-colored Evil Qi seeped out from them, shrouded in pink mist, with a few strands of extremely fine slaughter liquid threads faintly visible.
Soon, a figure broke through the sky, stopping at the crack of this "geothermal eruption."
Song Yan had been searching here for nearly three months, found nothing unusual, but caught an instance of "Evil Qi eruption."
The Three Kingdoms didn’t have the "Five Elements Gathering Profound Array," so no one would intentionally search for the "White Cave Jade."
The skeletons piled together, two skulls facing outward, and the last one was crushed at the very bottom, indistinguishable.
He was genuinely stunned for a moment. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
If not for the avalanche, if not for his array to clear the evil qi here, he wouldn’t have discovered this cave.
No one would discover it.
He instantly collected the array flags, grabbing with his right hand, and swiftly cracked open the rocks above the cave, then leapt inside.
Clatter...
Clatter clatter...
Rocks rolled, but when they hit that cave’s qi shield, they bounced off again.
Song Yan glanced at the qi shield, instantly recognizing it as the most basic "Isolation Array," its function simple: defense, internal and external isolation.
Song Yan’s gaze swept over the three skeletons already turned to bones, his vision suddenly landing on some strange red powder on the skeletons.
He frowned slightly, unable to deduce anything.
This red powder was something he had never seen.
Suddenly, he felt a strange staring sensation, this feeling coming from the skeletons.
As this feeling emerged, the skeletons suddenly began to move, with evil qi rising among their bones!
Blood-red slaughter liquid even emerged at the joints of the bones!
It was like a white armored blood light "bang" fiercely hitting the array shield, shattering the entire defense shield, then directly rushing towards Song Yan.
