Yang Tian tapped Wang Yue's little head, signaling her to quiet down, then said to Tang Zhongchu, "Grandma, I've finished my business here. I will be heading to the Dark Land tomorrow."

"Dark Land?"

Tang Zhongqian frowned.

"That's right, the Dark Land!"

Yang Tian nodded. He crafted the Protective Talisman just to go to the Dark Land to find Wang Lingzhan.

Wang Lingzhan is one of the Four Great Golden Spirit Guardians of the Ancient Martial Arts Dynasty. If we want to revive the Ancient Martial Arts Dynasty, we must find Wang Lingzhan.

"Tian, is Wang Lingzhan trapped in the Dark Land?"

Tang Zhongqian suddenly asked.

"Grandma, you know Wang Lingzhan too?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Yang Tian's eyes.

"That's right!" Upon seeing Yang Tian's reaction, Tang Zhongqian nodded, "Wang Lingzhan is indeed one of the Four Great Golden Spirit Guardians of the Ancient Martial Arts Dynasty. Back in the day, I allied with them to fight against the new leader of the Dark Organization. But after our failure, we all went our separate ways. I only heard later that he practiced a Demonic Technique and trapped himself in the Dark Land, it's unknown whether he's alive or dead."

Tang Zhongqian's expression showed some emotion.

Yang Tian quickly said, "Grandma, my trip to the Dark Land this time is precisely to find Wang Lingzhan!"

"If that's the case, that's good."

After a pause, Tang Zhongqian suddenly looked at Ling Ying, "I want to ask, is this girl the daughter of the Ancient Martial Arts Dynasty's Saint Master?"

"Grandma, how do you know so much?"

Yang Tian's eyes lit up.

"Haha!" Tang Zhongqian laughed, "Tian, Grandma is not that silly, I guessed it right away. Haha, Tian, you're indeed capable, even managing to get the Saintess of the Ancient Martial Arts Dynasty. That's good too, with you taking action, it's still possible to revive the Ancient Martial Arts Dynasty. I used to have relations with the Saint Master of the Ancient Martial Arts Dynasty, and seeing you and the Saintess together today is indeed a happy event!"

After a pause, Tang Zhongqian waved her hand, a talisman dagger appeared, and she handed it to Ling Ying, "Girl, this is a gift from Grandma!"

"This..."

Ling Ying was momentarily nervous, unsure whether to accept it or not.

"Grandma is giving you a gift, you better take it quickly."

Yang Tian quickly said.

"Then I will accept it." Ling Ying, not knowing what the talisman dagger was, still respectfully accepted it, "Thank you, Grandma!"

"Very good, very good!"

Tang Zhongqian laughed heartily.

She had never been so happy before; Mrs. Tang had revived, the Tang Family Hall was shrouded by the Heaven and Earth Divine Talisman, she gained a grandson and several granddaughters-in-law.

That evening, Tang Zhongqian had the servants prepare an exceptionally sumptuous meal.

The next morning, Yang Tian, Ling Ying, Wang Ying, and Wang Yue left the East Sea and flew directly northeast.

The Dark Land is located within Changbai Mountain.

In that icy and snowy world, everything is white, representing nature's purest hue.

After half a day's journey, they finally arrived in the northeast.

Once off the plane, the four walked out of the airport and were immediately approached by a driver, "Young folks, heading to Changbai Mountain? One hundred per person, take my car, you'll be there in an hour."

"Driver, how do you know we're going to Changbai Mountain?"

Wang Yue asked curiously.

"Visitors here mostly head to Changbai Mountain."

The driver was an older chap.

"Alright, take us to Changbai Mountain then."

All four got into the car and went straight to Changbai Mountain.

Along the way, Wang Ying, Wang Yue, and Ling Ying passionately chatted with the driver about the scenery of Changbai Mountain, while Yang Tian closed his eyes, operating his Divine Sense, to explore the surroundings.

Now, Yang Tian's Divine Sense could directly probe up to ten kilometers around him.

Very soon, Changbai Mountain came into view.

In the deepest abyss of Changbai Mountain, he felt a chill that even an Ancient Martial Artist like him was somewhat apprehensive of.

If correct, the Dark Land is inside this abyss.

"Driver, can tourists freely enter and exit Changbai Mountain?"

Yang Tian opened his eyes.

"No, you can only stroll outside. If you go inside, it'd be hard to get out. Generally, they won't allow you to freely enter Changbai Mountain."

The driver laughed.

"Alright, we'll get off here."

Yang Tian said.

"But you haven't reached the inn at the foot of Changbai Mountain yet..."

The driver was full of confusion, but Yang Tian was very determined, "It's okay, we'll get off here."

"Alright then, this is my phone number, if you need a ride back, you can find me directly, also, I'm available as a guide anytime!"

The driver enthusiastically handed Yang Tian his card.

Yang Tian glanced at it and put it in his bag, not paying much attention...

At that moment, the four got off the car and headed into the forest.

"What are they doing? Not going to the Changbai Mountain scenery?"

The driver watched as Yang Tian and the others walked into the forest, full of curiosity, but said nothing and drove back.

"Yang Tian, where are we going?"

Later, Wang Ying asked.

"There's a village at the back of Changbai Mountain, we'll go there. There are no tourists there, making it convenient for us to enter and exit Changbai Mountain to search for the Dark Land."

Yang Tian explained.

"Where's the village? I've been flying all day, I want a hot bath and a wonderful sleep."

Wang Yue cheered.

Following Yang Tian's lead, the four spent a good two hours reaching the rear mountain of Changbai Mountain.

As expected, there was a village in the rear mountain.

However, this village seemed lifeless, located at the foot of the mountain, all white, only the sound of the wind howling.

When the four entered the village, they startled the villagers inside.

"External people have come!"

Then a loud shout sounded, one after another, villagers holding large swords and axes charged out, surrounding Yang Tian and the others.

"Big brother..."

Wang Yue's face was tense and she instinctively jumped into Yang Tian's arms.

"Who are these people?"

Wang Ying frowned.

Just by looking, she felt something was off.

The villagers in front wore large beast robes, held large swords and axes in their hands, but their faces showed no life, appearing extremely corpse-like, that kind of corpse-like different from ordinary people, standing there staring at the four, motionless, like living dead from afar.

For some reason, Wang Ying had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Yang, these people are very strange!"

Ling Ying whispered, reaching for the Spirit Talisman at her waist.

"No need..." Yang Tian quickly held Ling Ying's hand, shaking his head, boldly saying, "Hello everyone, we are lost tourists. May we stay here for a night? We'll leave first thing tomorrow?"

"No!"

The village elder, looking like the head, calmly said.

"The wind is strong and the snow is crazy here, besides, it's already dark, and it's at least a two-hour journey from the Changbai Mountain scenic spot. It would be hard for us to get back now."

Yang Tian said.

"I said no, then it's no! This is not a place you should enter, leave immediately!"

The village head's face was extremely cold, his eyes appearing vacant.

Yang Tian wanted to say more, but Wang Ying already spoke, "All our phones have GPS, in case of trouble, the insurance company will alert the authorities who will come looking for us. We just want to stay here one night, and we'll leave tomorrow morning, then they won't come looking for us..."

With Wang Ying's saying, the village head became tense.

Yang Tian's eyes brightened: there's hope! If he's correct, the village head should be afraid of outsiders discovering this village.

As expected, the village head said in a grim tone, "Alright, you can stay here for one night. Tomorrow morning we'll personally send you out. During this time, report your safety, don't let them come searching here!"

"Of course!"

Wang Ying winked at Yang Tian.

Yang Tian smiled knowingly, admiring Wang Ying's quick thinking and meticulous mind.

Many problems are solved by Wang Ying's few words, truly worthy of being the most gentle and intelligent among the four great beauty CEOs of the East Sea.

"You can come in, but all your belongings must be left outside, especially weapons, you can't take them inside!"

The village head coldly said.

Wang Ying and Ling Ying frowned, feeling even more disturbed. They were unsure if staying the night was the right choice, but glancing at Yang Tian, they exchanged a look, both praying: with Yang Tian here, hopefully, nothing happens tonight...
