Chapter 1216: Heading to the Place of Inheritance (1)
For Zhang Yufeng, the amnesiac An Yiqing’s first impression of her was pure and stubborn. She still remembered that when she was first brought back from the island, Zhang Yufeng hugged her and bawled her eyes out. That kind of sorrow and hope, transformed into tears, flowed straight into her heart.
Letting out a deep sigh in her heart, An Yiqing desperately wished she could remember everything from her past as soon as possible.
After seven or eight hours of flying, the helicopter slowly descended onto a barren field near a remote mountain village in the south of Xuanjin.
The location where the Situ Family’s Dragon-Taming Art was passed down was in a small mountain village in Huajing Province of Xuanjin. This village was so secluded that one wouldn’t find any information about it even on the internet.
The village was called Dawang Mountain. According to the gathered data, the character "亾" shares the same pronunciation and meaning as "亡" (death). Thus, this place could also be called Death Mountain.
As for why it was named so, An Yiqing and the others got a glimpse of the reason when they arrived at the village entrance.
Huajing Province was abundant in hills, mountains, and plateaus, and Dawang Mountain was a typical mountain village among the ranges.
At the entrance of Dawang Mountain Village stood a massive ancient tree. Perhaps due to the chronic water shortage and infertile soil in this area, nearly half of the ancient tree was already dead, leaving only a small portion still struggling under the glaring and scorching sunlight.
Beside the ancient tree stood a weathered stone monument, its surface cracked from years of exposure to wind and rain. On the monument were seven strikingly bold characters: Dawang Mountain, Trespassers Die!
"Wow, this Dawang Mountain really seems restless! I’ve traveled to countless places, but I’ve never seen a village so brazen as this! Are there reclusive masters living here? Or thousand-year-old demons?"
Tan Yulin chuckled, his tone full of indifference.
Such a lousy little stone monument might scare off others, but for them—every single one of whom had walked through life and death—it was laughable. Intimidating them? Try in your next life!
