But soon, Qianxun’s attention landed on the Kongming lantern on top of Huo Yanran’s coffin.
"Yanzhi! Point the phone at the lamp above! Was it burning when you ca in?" Qianxun asked quickly.
Hearing this, Huo Tianzun humd a response, "Yes, it was lit when we ca in."
After speaking, he realized where the strangeness lay.
This oil lamp seed a bit off.
From his observations, it appeared no one had been here before, which ant no one could have refilled the oil.
Then, why had this lamp been burning for so long?
And judging from the identity of the corpse, Huo Yanran had been dead for at least a thousand years, right?
Although he knew that so people’s bodies were specially treated after death and indeed could be preserved without decay for a thousand years, this lamp was too strange.
After hearing Huo Tianzun’s words, Qianxun imdiately said, "rfolk! Huo Yanran must have found rfolk before she passed. Their bodies can be refined into lamp oil that burns for ten thousand years, and moreover, eating rfolk flesh can grant immortality! Where are you now? I’ll be there imdiately."
She instinctively felt sothing was amiss.
In her previous life, her relationship with Huo Yanran was neither bad nor particularly good, but more importantly, this woman was very close to Mo Tianji. What if she had gotten a rfolk’s corpse and hadn’t died?
Now she had to personally check this corpse to be at ease.
...
Upon hearing Qianxun’s words, Huo Tianzun quickly sent her the location and then said, "I’ll have soone pick you up."
Qianxun shook her head and replied, "No need. Even the plane isn’t as fast as ! I’m hanging up, be very careful."
"Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, Qianxun said a word to Ruan Mianmian and then left the house.
On the streets at that hour, the night lights were dimly glowing. Qianxun, following the navigation Huo Tianzun had sent her and choosing the shortest route, began sprinting toward his location.
In the dead of night, forests were quite dangerous for humans, but for Qianxun, there was nothing to fear.
After racing over mountains and ridges at breakneck speed, Qianxun covered several hundred kiloters in less than half an hour, now only a few dozen kiloters from Huo Tianzun’s location.
It was all thanks to the Xia Dynasty Imperial City ruins not being far from S City; if Qianxun had to co from Yanjing City, it would have taken much more ti.
Arriving nearby, Qianxun contacted Huo Tianzun while slowing her pace as she wove through the woods, startling nurous birds.
"Yanzhi, I’m almost there!" Qianxun said.
Hearing this, Huo Tianzun involuntarily clenched his phone.
Less than thirty minutes had gone by since they’d ended their call, and "baby" was already nearly there?
Wasn’t it at least six hundred kiloters away from S City?
That speed...
But soon Huo Tianzun stopped thinking about this and imdiately said, "I’ll have Diao Ling go out to et you; this place is tricky to find."
If it weren’t for his coincidental tracking of a demon, he wouldn’t have co to this godforsaken place.
"Great. We’ll talk once I’m there!"
...
After Qianxun hung up, Huo Tianzun turned to Diao Ling and said, "Baby’s almost here, go et her."
Hearing this, Diao Ling nodded eagerly and transford into an Eagle, flying out of the tomb.
When Diao Ling finally saw Qianxun, he couldn’t help but exclaim with admiration, "Sister-in-law, your speed is freaking aweso!"
