Chapter 832: 832 The World is Shocked [Chapter 2]
Professor Xue was startled, he turned around abruptly and saw two white figures walking towards him.
Ghosts!
Almost instantly, the word popped into Professor Xue’s mind.
In the field of archeology, more or less everyone has encountered so strange occurrences. Professor Xue has been in the field for thirty or forty years and is quite used to it.
But how did he see Ye Wanlan?
“In broad daylight, how could a wandering ghost dare to impersonate our Wanlan!” Professor Xue was furious, “I warn you, don’t co any closer, or I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Watching Professor Xue holding a lantern in one hand and a long stick in the other, Ye Wanlan paused slightly, sowhat helpless: “It’s not a wandering ghost, it really is , Professor Xue.”
“Only a wandering ghost would say it’s not a wandering ghost!” Professor Xue looked suspiciously at the ground and muttered, “There’s a shadow… Ahhhh ghost! Ghost!”
He scread because Yan Tingfeng had directly grabbed his hand.
“Elder Xue, I have body temperature.” Yan Tingfeng said calmly, “You can rest assured.”
Professor Xue: “…”
He stared, sowhat unable to comprehend what was happening before him.
Though he has always been accepting of various supernatural phenona, everything must adhere to logic.
Since the discovery of the “Heavenly Inception Grand Canon,” it was transferred to a safer location, leaving the underground vault of the Phoenix Origin Pagoda empty.
They inspected it and found no secret passage, no hidden doors, only one way out.
But earlier he entered through this exit, with no one following, so how did Ye Wanlan and Yan Tingfeng erge?
After confirming the two were human, Professor Xue still took two steps back, cautiously asking: “Wan… Wanlan, I heard Old Man Yuwen say you went to Atlantis? How are you in the Southern Frontier?”
“It’s a long story.” Ye Wanlan nodded slightly, “Since Professor Xue is here, things will be much easier; please imdiately gather all archaeological personnel and mobilize any available manpower from around the Southern Frontier.”
The passage left by Great Ancestor Ning can only last six Shichen, so they have only half a day to transport resources placed in Atlantis back to Shenzhou.
Moreover, they must not arouse the attention of Supre Wisdom and the Cangyuan Great Priest.
The passage is not large and can only accommodate two people at a ti, so this is not a simple task.
“Xiao Wan, I’ve already contacted the various local branches of the 723 Bureau; people have set out.” Yan Tingfeng tilted his head, “Ti is tight, let the Southern Frontier’s archaeological team go down first.”
“Precisely.” Ye Wanlan nodded, “Professor Xue, get the people together and co with us.”
Professor Xue’s expression gradually beca solemn; he didn’t directly ask “what exactly is happening” but quickly contacted various personnel and commanded the archaeological team in the Southern Frontier to gather at the location.
“Miss Ye!” The archaeological team leader was overjoyed to see Ye Wanlan, “Earlier, I was asking Elder Xue where you were, and I didn’t expect to see you so soon.”
“I didn’t expect it either.” Ye Wanlan smiled, “So what you all are about to see, please be sure to keep a firm mind.”
The archaeologists exchanged glances, curiosity stirring among them.
“Follow .” Ye Wanlan turned back to the area she and Yan Tingfeng erged from.
“Odd.” Professor Xue furrowed his brows in thought, “When did a ball of light appear here?”
Before he could ponder further, he saw Ye Wanlan and Yan Tingfeng’s silhouettes engulfed by the light.
“Wanlan!” Professor Xue was shocked and hurriedly followed.
Upon touching the light, he felt as if he had entered another world, surrounded by shimring water and blue-purple light enveloping the area, like dancing stars.
After taking four steps, his vision suddenly cleared.
When his feet landed on new ground, Professor Xue was stunned: “Good heavens…”
Behind him, one archaeologist after another walked out, all as if struck by an immobilization spell, firmly rooted to the spot.
The sound of gasping echoed continuously, and their breathing was erratic and rapid.
They couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
This was supposed to exist only in fictional tales!
“Professor Xue, I confird this is the treasure left by Great Ancestor Ning.” Ye Wanlan spoke slowly, “But this is not land; it is Atlantis. The passage won’t hold for long; we need to transfer imdiately.”
Upon hearing this, Professor Xue was dumbstruck.
He understood every word and the aning of the sentence.
But the amount of information Ye Wanlan provided was overwhelming, each like a bolt of lightning striking his ears, leaving his mind blank.
Even Professor Xue couldn’t calm down imdiately.
Great Ancestor Ning!
Atlantis!
Not only did he witness the treasure of Great Ancestor Ning in his lifeti, but he also successfully landed in Atlantis?!
Ye Wanlan called him again: “Professor Xue?”
“Huh? Oh, oh!” Professor Xue used all his strength to regain his composure, “I understand, let calm down… calm down.”
Archaeologists weren’t much better; their jaws almost fell to the ground.
Though their souls were drifting in the sky, their bodies instinctively began moving, transporting things out of the cave bit by bit.
Outside, the first batch from the 723 Bureau had arrived, and the transfer work was proceeding orderly.
Professor Xue finally ca to his senses, stamring: “Wan… Wanlan, what on earth is going on here?”
“This is the situation.” Ye Wanlan briefly narrated the events of the auction, “Great Ancestor placed his treasure in Atlantis to ensure these items wouldn’t fall into the wrong hands.”
“Too incredible.” Professor Xue murmured, “Announcing this publicly wouldn’t convince many.”
Who could have imagined, six hundred years ago, Great Ancestor Ning had already begun interacting with Atlantis?
Professor Xue’s hand trembled; his body shook like it was sifting rice, and the next second, he was shedding old tears.
To witness historical traces himself, this is the very reason he dedicated himself to archaeology!
“Riiiing—”
The phone rang urgently; it was the Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau.
“Hello? Old Xue, what are you doing? Mobilizing so many people during the night, did you uncover Prince of Chu’s tomb?”
“No, no… Director.” Professor Xue swallowed, his voice trembling, “But I, we found sothing big!”
“What big?” The director sipped his tea, casually uninterested, “I’ve seen everything, what could be bigger than the ‘Heavenly Inception Grand Canon’? It’s late, if there’s nothing, I’ll sleep.”
Professor Xue shouted: “It’s Great Ancestor’s treasure! Wanlan found it, it’s in Atlantis!”
“Pft—”
