Yun Lingxin dragged Qiu Jing into his study room and sat down heavily on his chaise lounge chair, as if all of his energy had suddenly disappeared.
His elbow rested on his knees, while both of his hands went towards his face to cover them, then slid down below his chin, forming a posture that made it seem as if he was praying.
Qiu Jing who was standing before him was amused how his friend to be like this. He sat down across him "you seemed tired when it is only in the middle of the day." his voice has the tone of teasing.
Yun Lingxin glared at him and took a deep sigh, then straighten his posture to give a domineering look. He ignored his friend's antics and answered him straightforwardly. "What is it that you forget to tell me?"
Qiu Jing remembered the issue why he came back. He didn't beat around the bush and straight to the main point.
"Something happened in the Dark mountain."
Yun Lingxin eyed the person across him and waiting for him to continue.
"Every magical beast in the Dark Mountain were wrecking havoc everwhere, especially the inner-sanctuary."
The Dark Mountain was divided into three: The Inner-sanctuary, The Middle-sanctuary, and lastly the Outer-sanctuary. The name Sanctuary isn't for people but for magical beast who live there.The division was also indicates the levels of the magical beast from the weakest to strongest from outer-sanctuary to inner-sanctuary. It sounds simple but from a weak magical beast can kill many people or low cultivators.
The Dark Forest was known from its thick miasma from the outer-sanctuary, but the Inner-sanctuary was very known from its rich spiritual energy. That is the reason the outer-sanctuary magical beast were deadly because of their immunity to the poisoned and develop toxicity when injuring someone. While in the Inner-sanctuary, the magical gets stronged becUse of their high cultivation cause by the plenty of spiritual energy surrounding them.
Qiu Jing continued his report he received from his subordinate. " I don't think I need to tell you about the ancient barrier that was set two thousand years ago."
Yun Lingxin nod his head while he crossed his arms in his chest. Something flash in his eyes. "I know about it. you saying about it means that something happened to the barrier."
Only a few people have some knowledge what was in the deepest part of the Inner-sanctuary in the Dark Forest. They know that there was an ancient barrier set there and no one could ever enter be it humans or beast.
Some assumed that there was a great magical treasures hidden there. Others assumed that something demonic was sealed there. There was many guesses were made but none was proven. Some even tried to uncover the seal that formed at the barrier but fail and paid the price for it.
But now someone succeeded breaking it. The Dark Mountain will not be peaceful for a while.
"you guessed it right. the barrier was was broken or shattered, but you can also say that someone sabotage it."
"Was this look by Fang Min?"
"That's right. He was now recovering and will be able to come here in a few days. that is the reason why I need to leaved yesterday. It was only deep cuts nothing serious, he only likes to exaggerate."
They finished their discussion until the sky almost turned dark.
