Your son-in-law is here

Every building in the complex is majestic and magnificent, but unfortunately it is severely damaged and rubble is scattered all over the ground.

I entered several rooms in a row, but they were all empty. There was nothing good and no useful information.

"This seems to be the resting place for the Sword Alliance disciples. There are cushions and beds. When the Sword Alliance was destroyed, there may not have been any disciples resting here, so it is relatively well preserved."

Li Guihuo analyzed casually.

Zhou Yi shook his head: "If there is no one here, then the concentration of the dark aura will be much lower, but the concentration here is obviously due to an attack by the dark aura."

"There are traces of candle burning on the table. I can even boldly guess that the Sword Alliance was destroyed overnight. These ordinary disciples didn't even have time to react. They were wiped out in their sleep."

"Afterwards, only someone collected their bodies and left the rest of the body untouched, which is why it is preserved so intact."

Compared with searching for treasures and Qi techniques, Zhou Yi was more interested in the reasons for the demise of the Sword Alliance, and he did discover some clues, such as the dark aura in some places that had been attacked was obviously stronger, and ordinary people could not stay there for long.

Although those intact buildings still have a dark aura, it is obviously much lower, which is why Zhou Yi made this speculation.

At the same time, he also discovered that whether it was the other three major areas or the Three Thousand Armor Area, the aura of the dark attribute differed only in its degree of thinness, and the rest was exactly the same in nature.

This may very well indicate a very scary fact.

That is, the destruction of the Sword Alliance was caused by one person.

This is terrifying just thinking about it. The Sword Alliance was one of the top forces in ancient times. It was mainly composed of sword cultivators and possessed many famous swords, many high-level masters and even ninth-level masters.

The ninth-rank master holding a famous sword is not invincible at the same level, but it is too difficult to kill him.

Unless it is besieged by multiple ninth-grade masters, there is only the remaining dark attribute in the entire Sword Alliance ruins.

So far, Zhou Yi has not detected the second breath.

Of course it is normal that it cannot be detected, because even if he is a ninth-grade master, the aura should have disappeared after so many years, so this only dark aura is very strange.

Zhou Yi thought of a bold possibility, but did not dare to think about it too much.

The four teams continued to advance.

They came to a large pavilion with three floors. The second and third floors were badly damaged, and only the first floor was relatively better. After entering, everyone was shocked because the view was like a library.

However, this place is much more spacious than an ordinary library. The height of each layer of bookshelves is more than ten meters, and the length and width are more than a hundred meters. What concerns them most is that this place is not empty.

There are ancient books, scrolls, bamboo slips and other things on the bookshelf.

Although there are not many scattered around, there must be at least dozens of books in such a large space.

"I'm rich!" Tang Molong shouted excitedly, and immediately rushed to the ancient book closest to him.

"Fire Thunder Sword Technique!"

The words on the cover of the ancient book were clearly visible, and Tang Molong's eyes instantly became hot. This must be a Qi technique, and the grade would not be very low, because the dual-attribute sword technique meant that the threshold for cultivation was at least grade seven, which made him very excited.

Even the official collection has very few swordsmanship of this level.

He subconsciously reached out to take it.

"Wait, don't touch it." Zhou Yi said anxiously.

When Tang Molong heard Zhou Yi's voice, he did not stop but moved faster, saying, "Why should I listen to you? Whoever sees the treasure first gets it..."

At this point, his voice stopped abruptly, because the moment his hand touched the ancient book, the latter shattered into pieces as if it had been burned by fire, and turned into a pool of ashes.

Not to mention swordsmanship, I can't even see a single word.

Zhou Yi and the others rushed over at this time. Looking at the ancient book that had turned to ashes, they said with regret: "Although this ancient book is made of parchment that is not easily damaged, it has become extremely fragile under the constant erosion of the dark aura and after such a long time."

"It is no exaggeration to say that if there is only a breeze, all the ancient books here will be completely destroyed."

Tang Molong looked a little embarrassed, but still asked, "What should I do? I can only look but not touch. This is too uncomfortable."

Any ancient book here would be a rare item if placed outside, and might even trigger a fight among major forces.

Tang Molong knew very well how valuable these things were. Now he couldn't even touch them, so naturally he couldn't take them away.

The loss is too great.

Li Changkong glared at him and said, "Shut up. Look at what you have done. Such a precious ancient book was not destroyed when the Sword Alliance was destroyed, but was destroyed in your hands."

"You are guilty!"

Tang Molong touched his head, lowered his head and dared not speak.

Zhou Yi reached out and touched some of the ashes of the ancient book, twisted them gently, and said solemnly: "The dark aura inside can be condensed out just like condensing sword crystals, but the ancient book itself is too fragile. If you force it to condense, the most likely result is to get a pile of ashes without dark aura..."

"At present, you can only look but not touch..."

Of course, the "look" here only means looking at the cover.

The others also touched the ashes and came to the same conclusion as Zhou Yi, which dampened their excitement.

"Take a look at them, but remember you can't touch them, you can only look at them. These are priceless treasures. Since we can't get them, we shouldn't do anything immoral to destroy them. Let's leave them for future generations to try."

Li Changkong warned in a serious tone.

Zhou Yi nodded, he also agreed with this proposal.

Just because low-level masters like them cannot access it doesn’t mean that high-level masters cannot. If high-level masters can enter the Suzaku Secret Realm one day, then these ancient books before them will be a rare and precious treasure for the entire martial arts world.

Since they could only see the cover, everyone lost interest. What was so interesting about just some names? Not only was it a waste of time, but the more they saw the Qi techniques that satisfied them, the more uncomfortable they felt.

So many people just took a quick look and left.

Zhou Yi had a completely different feeling. He was still very excited because the ancient books here contained things like Qigong techniques.

There are other things that interest him very much, such as the ancient book he is reading now called:

"On the Current Situation of the Martial Arts World".

This "present day" is naturally the ancient times.

In addition to the above large characters, there were a few lines of small characters below the black cover. Zhou Yi spent a long time trying to recognize them. They read:

"Who is the most powerful force in the martial arts world today? Is it Lord Xingjun's Monster Mountain, or Lord Jiang's Tianji Sect?"

"Or is it the Sword Alliance founded by Lord Yao, or the Wannian Palace, the leader of the three major forces founded by Lord Sheng?"

Just a few lines of small words made Zhou Yi's pupils constrict and his breathing quicken. This was an extraordinary piece of information.
