Chapter 1941 - 1978: Wind Thunder City

"Brother Ding, do you have a way to cure her? Yes! You definitely have a way!"

At this moment, Xia Ling looked towards Ding Fan and exclaimed in surprise, her eyes full of expectation.

And just then, after hearing Xia Ling’s words, a trace of helplessness flashed in Ding Fan’s eyes, his gaze flickered slightly, and he slowly said to Xia Ling:

"It’s not that there’s no way, but I don’t have the right herbs at hand right now..."

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, a light of joy flashed instantly in Xia Ling’s eyes, her lips slightly lifted, then she asked Ding Fan anxiously:

"Brother Ding, what herbs are you talking about? Maybe I can find them!"

Listening to Xia Ling’s words, a helpless look also flashed in Ding Fan’s eyes, his lips trembled slightly, and he slowly said to Xia Ling:

"Seven Star Soul-Snatching Grass and Soul Severing Flower..."

After hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling’s eyes narrowed instantly, her gaze flickered slightly, and she asked Ding Fan in confusion:

"Brother Ding, why have I never heard of these two herbs you mentioned?"

Listening to Xia Ling’s words, a trace of helplessness slowly passed the corners of Ding Fan’s mouth, his gaze flickered slightly, and he slowly said to Xia Ling:

"Because these aren’t herbs that should exist within the Divine Realm..."

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, a trace of despair welled up in Xia Ling’s eyes, her gaze flickered slightly, and she said to Ding Fan sadly:

"Brother Ding, isn’t there any other way?"

After listening to Xia Ling, Ding Fan gently shook his head, paused slightly, and slowly said to Xia Ling:

"This is the only method I know right now. Although your Hundred Beasts Sect’s Cultivation Technique is exceptionally powerful and can protect the cultivator’s mind, this young lady has been eroded by such Soul Capturing Techniques for a long time, and only by finding these two herbs can we refine a Grade Nine Heart Cleansing Pill, eventually restoring her consciousness..."

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, a look of despair also appeared in Xia Ling’s eyes, her gaze flickered slightly, and she slowly said to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, what can we do? If her consciousness cannot be restored, she will forever be an emotionless wooden figure..."

Listening to Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan’s eyes showed a thoughtful look. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said to Xia Ling:

"Xia Ling, you don’t need to worry. As far as I know, the two herbs I mentioned don’t only exist within the Cultivation World; they generally grow in extremely cold and shady places, taking thousands of years to mature. Think about where such places exist in the Divine Realm?"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, a flash of excitement appeared in Xia Ling’s eyes, and a thoughtful look crossed her face. After pondering for a moment, she slowly said to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, as I know, there’s a place nearby Tianqu City that is extremely shady, but I don’t know its exact location..."

Listening to Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan’s eyes also narrowed slightly. After contemplating for a moment, he slowly said to Xia Ling:

"In that case, Brother Ding will accompany you to that extremely shady place to have a look!"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, a wave of emotion surged through Xia Ling’s eyes, and upon seeing that moved look in Xia Ling’s eyes, a trace of helplessness appeared in Ding Fan’s eyes.

After pondering for a while, Ding Fan reached into his pocket and pulled out a Treasure Map, slightly quivering, and slowly said to Xia Ling:

"Xia Ling, take a look at what this place is?"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, a look of astonishment appeared in Xia Ling’s eyes again, her gaze flickered slightly, and she took the Treasure Map from Ding Fan’s hand. When Xia Ling saw the map clearly, her eyes widened instantly.

"This... Is this the Sirius treasure map?!"

Upon hearing Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan’s eyes also revealed a look of astonishment, his lips quivering slightly, and he asked Xia Ling in confusion:

"How do you know this is the Sirius treasure map?"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, a slight tug appeared on Xia Ling’s lips, her tone paused, and she slowly said to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, the map on it features all the nearby landscapes, and most importantly, don’t you remember we saw this Treasure Map together at the auction?"

Upon hearing Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan’s brows slowly furrowed, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he slowly said to Xia Ling:

"You actually remembered this Treasure Map?"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, a look of confusion also appeared in Xia Ling’s eyes, her gaze flickered slightly, and she asked Ding Fan in confusion:

"How does remembering this Treasure Map matter? Can’t you remember it?"

Upon hearing Xia Ling’s words, a look of joy appeared in Ding Fan’s eyes again, his gaze flickered slightly, and he slowly said to Xia Ling:

"This Treasure Map contains a Secret Technique, and anyone who has seen it cannot rely on their own memory to recall the map..."

At this moment, after Xia Ling listened to Ding Fan’s words, her eyes showed a trace of astonishment, her lips slightly trembled, then she slowly spoke to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, it seems this Treasure Map is destined to be connected to us..."

Upon listening to Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan’s lips slightly curled, his voice paused, then he slowly spoke to Xia Ling:

"Xia Ling, can you tell where this Treasure Map is depicting?"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling’s eyes showed a trace of contemplation, her gaze slightly flickered, then she spoke to Ding Fan in a pensive tone:

"Brother Ding, it seems to be depicting the area near Wind Thunder City..."

Upon hearing Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan’s eyes instantly revealed a flash of brilliance, his gaze slightly flickered, and he slowly spoke to Xia Ling:

"Wind Thunder City? Is there a place similar to Tianqu City there?"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling’s eyes showed a trace of solemnity, her gaze slightly flickered, then she slowly spoke to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, Wind Thunder City is where the sect originally founded by Sirius was located..."

Upon hearing this, Ding Fan’s eyes instantly revealed a flash of shock, his gaze slightly flickered, and he slowly spoke to Xia Ling:

"So, there’s a very high chance that Sirius is buried there. But hasn’t anyone discovered his corpse after all these years?"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling’s eyes showed a trace of contemplation. After pondering briefly, she slowly spoke to Ding Fan:

"It seems Sirius must have set some restrictions around here..."

Upon hearing Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan’s eyes also showed a trace of solemnity. After pondering briefly, his lips slowly curled into a smile, his voice paused slightly, and he slowly spoke to Xia Ling:

"Are you interested in joining me to see Sirius’s tomb?"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling’s lips slightly curled, her gaze slightly flickered, and she smiled at Ding Fan:

"Sure!"

Three days later, Ding Fan and Xia Ling appeared on the way to Wind Thunder City, passing through several cities along the way. Due to Xia Ling’s sensitive nature, Ding Fan and Xia Ling decided to travel through the forest. The Hundred Beasts Sect girl had already been settled in Tianqu City by Ding Fan, and for convenience, Xia Ling used her Heavenly Sound Sect’s name.

"Brother Ding, another three hundred miles, and we’ll reach Wind Thunder City!"

At this moment, Xia Ling looked at the man in front and spoke softly.

Upon hearing Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan’s lips also slightly curled, his voice paused, and he slowly spoke to Xia Ling:

"Indeed, we’re getting closer and closer to the tomb’s location. We must be careful now. I suspect there’s more than just our party searching for Sirius’s tomb near Wind Thunder City!"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling’s head gently nodded twice, full of solemnity in her eyes, her gaze slightly flickered, and she slowly spoke to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, what do you think we will face this time?"

Upon hearing Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan’s lips also slightly curled, his voice paused, and he slowly spoke to Xia Ling:

"No matter what it is, if it dares to block our path, it’s our enemy!"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling’s lips also slightly curled, a flash of brilliance in her eyes. A trace of tenderness slowly surged from Xia Ling’s eyes.

Soon, Ding Fan and Xia Ling slowly arrived under an extraordinarily tall city wall. Looking at the size of this wall, Ding Fan’s eyes showed a trace of surprise, his lips slightly trembled, and he slowly spoke:

"I never expected True Wind Thunder City to be so much larger than Tianqu City!"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, Xia Ling’s lips also slightly curled, her gaze flickered slightly, and she slowly spoke to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, Tianqu City is far from being comparable to Wind Thunder City..."

"You must know the City Lord of Wind Thunder City is Sirius, and with his abilities, even experts among the First-Class forces in the Divine Realm may not be so daunting!"

Upon hearing Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan’s head gently nodded twice, full of contemplative thought in his eyes.

"Brother Ding, come on, let’s explore the uniqueness of this Wind Thunder City together!"

Upon hearing Xia Ling’s words, Ding Fan’s lips also curled into a smile, full of anticipation in his eyes.
