At this moment, there was only one thought in Long Qingtian's mind:

"Damn it!"

Had it not been for his great trust in the young man Wang Ye, and had it not been for the severe overflow of True Qi outside Taiyuan Mountain, Long Qingtian might have found it hard to believe what Wang Ye was saying.

It was truly inconceivable.

All those armors still possessed consciousness at this critical moment.

Even someone as powerful as Long Qingtian found it hard to imagine how these fellows managed to achieve that.

Wang Ye only began to show a serious expression on his face when he talked about their entry into the City Lord's Mansion with Long Qingtian.

In Wang Ye's view, the things he had initially talked about were not the focus; it was only what he was about to say next that mattered.

The scene Wang Ye had witnessed in the City Lord's Mansion still struck him as incredible even now.

And even though the Golden Armor had only spoken a few words, Wang Ye could derive a tremendous amount of information from them.

Long Qingtian, noticing the seriousness on Wang Ye's face, also realized that whatever Wang Ye was about to say must be extraordinary. His own expression turned serious as well.

"At that time, when Elder Xu and others and I entered the City Lord's Mansion, that Golden Armor greeted us and then used some power to control us. It seemed to be scanning our memories."

The Golden Armor only saw that Wang Ye opened his eyes when he turned around from the wall, but what the Golden Armor did not know was that Wang Ye had not been controlled from the start.

Why everyone else had been controlled by the Golden Armor and had their memories absorbed while he had not faced any issues, Wang Ye did not know.

But the first thing Wang Ye realized was that something was off, so he closed his eyes like Xu Heng and others, using his perception of the water element to observe his surroundings.

The Golden Armor had not extracted Wang Ye's memories at that time.

There were dozens of people standing in front of the Golden Armor, and it's likely that even the Golden Armor itself did not realize it had failed to probe Wang Ye's memories.

"Scan memories?"

Long Qingtian frowned slightly. Scanning memories was something he had read about in ancient texts.

Individuals with powerful consciousness could manipulate the consciousness of others, and even use their consciousness to interfere with someone else's, thereby accessing that person's memories.

And every person's consciousness has a self-protective capability.

In such cases, if one attempts to forcibly scan another's consciousness, the scanned individual's consciousness will certainly be damaged.

Long Qingtian's expression instantly turned from serious to solemn as he spoke into the communicator, "Have the examination results for Elder Xu and the others come out yet? Have their nerves been damaged?"

As he asked the question, Long Qingtian could not help but clench his fist. Xu Heng and the others were very important figures in the Dragon Country.

If something were to happen to them because of their exploration of the ancient ruins, he would have no way to account for it afterward.

The urgency in Long Qingtian's voice and his clenched fists made Wang Ye realize that something was amiss. He asked with a furrowed brow:

"If their memories were scanned, could there be some problems?"

Wang Ye remembered how Xu Heng and the others had seemed disoriented when they came out and had to be led out by him.

At that time, Wang Ye thought that it was just some minor aftereffects causing Xu Heng and the others to feel a bit dizzy.

Now Wang Ye realized, if it were just dizziness, then with the determination of Xu Heng and his fellows, it would be impossible for them to be unable to even determine directions.

If it were a neurological issue...

Wang Ye clenched his teeth, took a deep breath, and unconsciously looked in the direction where Xu Heng and the others were receiving treatment.

Although Wang Ye had not spent much time with Xu Heng, and when Xu Heng invited him to join the Ministry of War, Wang Ye had not agreed.

But that didn't mean that Wang Ye had no respect for Xu Heng.

On the contrary, Wang Ye held great admiration for Xu Heng; he was aware of Xu Heng's background and knew that Xu Heng had come from that era of war.

If it wasn't for people like Xu Heng risking their lives to fight for them, they wouldn't be able to live the carefree life they had today.

Free from worries.

Wang Ye held great respect towards Xu Heng.

And as for Yuan Shuo, Wang Hui, Liu Na, in the eyes of Wang Ye, they also had extremely good relationships with him, and he did not wish for them to encounter any problems.

The sound from the medical area soon came over: "Elder Xu and the others are all in good health, with no neurological issues, and Elder Xu is already on his way to your office."

The response from the medical area eased the tension for both Long Qingtian and Wang Ye.

That's right, the consciousness of the people in those ancient ruins had existed for hundreds of thousands of years, their strength must be incredibly powerful.

Therefore, if they have means to explore others' memories without causing neurological issues, it's not surprising.

"I will talk about it when Elder Xu arrives."

Wang Ye felt that in essence, Xu Heng's status shouldn't be much different from Long Qingtian's, it's just that Long Qingtian held a slightly higher position.

No one had told him this; Wang Ye had perceived it through intuition.

Long Qingtian actually responded affirmatively and didn't say anything else, waiting patiently together with Wang Ye.

After undergoing the examination, the aftereffects that lingered in Xu Heng from his time in the ancient ruins seemed to have all disappeared.

On his way there, he moved with a vigor like a dragon striding and a tiger stepping, and in a very short time, Xu Heng arrived directly at Long Qingtian's office.

As soon as Xu Heng closed the door, his hand landed on Long Qingtian's shoulder, and he asked with a smiling face, "I hear you nearly had us buried in those ancient ruins?"

When Xu Heng said this, there was no hint of reproach in his tone.

Since he had already sent out a signal, it meant he had made his decision.

"Yes," Long Qingtian rolled his eyes at Xu Heng, "You're no spring chicken. Next time you send a signal, be more careful. A minute or two's difference and you might have been stuck in those ancient ruins forever."

The barrage prepared to cover the ancient ruins still carried heavy pressure.

Under the barrage, even Xu Heng, a Second Rank Martial Master, wouldn't be able to withstand it and would have died with regrets within the ancient ruins.

"That's like getting an extra life back from King Yan, haha."
