Seeing this, Ren Wushuang's expression changed dramatically. She pulled Qin Feiyang back and snapped, "What are you doing? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Qin Feiyang said, "Blue Snow was left to me by my mother. It's very mysterious, and I have a feeling it can help me."

Ren Wushuang said, "Since your mother left it to you, you should cherish it even more. What if it's shattered by the gravity? How would you face your mother then?"

"Well…" Qin Feiyang hesitated for a moment, put away Blue Snow, and then stretched out his arm. At his thought, the ancient castle sprang forth from between his eyebrows and hovered above his palm.

"Another ancient, mysterious treasure?" Ren Wushuang was astonished. It was only now that she realized this newly acknowledged younger brother of hers seemed to have an extraordinary background.

WHOOSH!!!

Qin Feiyang then brought out the Wolf King, Fatty, and Lu Hong.

"Huh!" Both Ren Wushuang and the Blood Eagle stared in wide-eyed surprise.

Qin Feiyang smiled. "Sister, I haven't told you yet. This ancient castle is a treasure that can conceal people inside."

Ren Wushuang was amazed. "You mean, it's a spatial treasure?"

Qin Feiyang nodded.

"Wow, she's so beautiful!" The moment Fatty saw Ren Wushuang, his face transformed into one of utter adoration. How could such a stunningly beautiful woman exist in the world? Even Lu Hong was somewhat dazed.

"Hey, hey! You're drooling on the floor," the Wolf King rolled his eyes in contempt. What a loser, he thought. It's just a woman. Is it necessary to be so dramatic?

Fatty murmured, "To die for a beauty like this, even becoming a ghost would be a delightful affair. Master Fatty finally understands the true meaning of this saying today."

Veins throbbed on Qin Feiyang's forehead. He rapped Fatty hard on the head and barked, "Delightful my foot! Hurry up and call her Ma'am!"

"Ma'am?" Fatty was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "Why can you call her Sister, while Master Fatty has to call her Ma'am? Master Fatty protests! This is unfair!"

Qin Feiyang chuckled. "You want fair, do you? White-Eyed Wolf, show him what true fairness is."

The Wolf King instantly bared his teeth in a menacing grin.

Fatty quickly ducked behind Ren Wushuang. "Sister Wushuang, from now on, you're my true sister! You have to protect your little brother, me! Look at all this flab on me; it's all from Boss and Brother Wolf bullying me. I'm so pitiful, no one cares for me, no one loves me." He put on an aggrieved look, even trying to take the opportunity to get handsy.

Ren Wushuang smiled radiantly. "Protecting you is no problem. But if you don't behave, Sister here will chop off those wandering hands of yours."

A chill ran down Fatty's spine. He hastily withdrew his hands and chuckled sheepishly.

The Wolf King walked towards Fatty with malicious intent. "Hehe! Fatty, Brother is going to help you lose some weight," he said. "So you won't say Brother and Xiao Qinzi are bullying you."

"Losing weight is a small matter; I don't need Brother Wolf's help for that!" Fatty quickly backed away.

"Losing weight is no small matter. Brother absolutely must help you." The Wolf King's smile was so sinister that Fatty's scalp tingled. He hurriedly tried to flee.

"You damn rascal, why are you running?" the Wolf King roared. "How dare you say Brother and Xiao Qinzi bully you? You're really tired of living! Today, Brother is going to bully you properly for once!"

Unwilling to let him go, the Wolf King chased after him, unleashing a brutal beating. Fatty's agonized howls immediately echoed through the surroundings.

Ren Wushuang watched with a smile. It had been a long time since she'd seen such a heartwarming scene.

Lu Hong glanced at the ancient castle, frowned, and said, "The Elixir Scripture and the Six-Character Mantra are both inside the ancient castle. Isn't it too risky for you to do this?"

"We have to try. Or do you want to stay here forever?" Qin Feiyang said.

"I don't, but…" Lu Hong shook her head, still wanting to dissuade him.

Qin Feiyang smiled. "Don't worry. The ancient castle is profoundly mysterious. Even an Eight-star War Emperor couldn't do anything to it. It can definitely withstand the gravity here."

"No! Risking the ancient castle is too dangerous. It would be better to use those ribs. If the ribs break, it doesn't really matter," Lu Hong insisted, firmly opposing the idea.

"That's right! I can use the ribs to test it! Why didn't I think of that?" Qin Feiyang felt like rushing over and planting a few kisses on Lu Hong's face. He quickly put away the ancient castle and took out a rib.

"This human bone…" Ren Wushuang's eyes widened in disbelief. With her keen sight, she could tell at a glance how extraordinary this rib was.

"Sister, I'll explain everything slowly once we escape," Qin Feiyang said with a smile.

"Let me do it. My cultivation is stronger than yours. If something unexpected happens, I can handle it in time." Ren Wushuang imperiously snatched the rib from Qin Feiyang's hand and had Qin Feiyang and the others move back.

Lu Hong chuckled softly. "You've found yourself a good sister."

Qin Feiyang nodded. Although he had only met Ren Wushuang the day before, he could genuinely feel her concern.

The group retreated about ten meters and watched Ren Wushuang nervously.

Ren Wushuang looked at the rib, then at the iron-chain bridge. Taking a deep breath, she grasped one end of the rib and cautiously approached the bridge.

BOOM!

Instantly, a terrifying gravitational force pressed down.

Ren Wushuang's delicate body trembled, her entire arm was instantly lacerated, and she lost her balance, toppling towards the abyss.

"Sister!" Qin Feiyang's face paled, and he rushed forward.

But just then!

The rib suddenly burst forth with dazzling rays of light.

In that instant, the gravity vanished completely!

Qin Feiyang grabbed Ren Wushuang's wrist and pulled her back.

"I'm fine." Ren Wushuang waved to Qin Feiyang, then stared at the rib in astonishment.

The rib hovered above the iron-chain bridge, glowing brilliantly like a full moon, exuding an incredible aura! It was like a Demon Ancestor manifesting in the world, cowing the dreaded black abyss.

Qin Feiyang and Lu Hong also watched this spectacle in disbelief.

The Wolf King and Fatty ran over too, their eyes filled with shock. They all knew the rib's original owner must have been immensely powerful in life, but they had never imagined it to be this heaven-defying!

Qin Feiyang tentatively reached out his hand and was overjoyed to find that he couldn't sense any gravity at all in the area enveloped by the light.

He smiled. "Sister, I didn't disappoint you, did I?"

Ren Wushuang, however, fell silent.

Qin Feiyang waved his hand, sending the Wolf King, Fatty, and Lu Hong into the ancient castle. As for the Blood Eagle, it was too large for the ancient castle to accommodate.

Qin Feiyang glanced at the rib, then looked at Ren Wushuang and smiled. "If you don't want to leave, I can come back for you after I find your father. Or I can leave a rib for you."

Ren Wushuang turned and surveyed the dim land before her, a hint of sorrow and grief in her eyes.

"Let's go!"

「A moment later.」

She turned resolutely and, with Qin Feiyang and the Blood Eagle, stepped onto the iron-chain bridge.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The iron chains vibrated, producing harsh, deafening sounds.

Holding the rib, Ren Wushuang walked as if on solid ground. The Land of Ruins gradually disappeared behind them.

"Feiyang, where did you get this human bone?" Ren Wushuang asked curiously.

"The Desert of Death." Qin Feiyang didn't hide anything and briefly explained what had happened.

Ren Wushuang said, "I never expected Yan Province to have such a place. When I have time, I must go and see it."

BOOM! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Before her voice could fade, a black storm erupted from the abyss below, sweeping towards Qin Feiyang and the others.

"How can this be!" Ren Wushuang exclaimed in surprise.

However, although the black storm was terrifying, it couldn't penetrate the rib's defense. The brilliant white light acted like an impenetrable wall, protecting them.

Qin Feiyang scanned the depths below and said gravely, "It seems my guess was correct. Someone is controlling these storms and the gravity. They don't want us to leave!"

Ren Wushuang shouted, "Which senior is it? Please show yourself!"

Her voice echoed into the abyss, reverberating for a long time, but no response came.

The Blood Eagle urged, "Boss, forget about whether someone's controlling it or not. Let's just get out of here quickly!"

Qin Feiyang nodded.

The gloomy sky, the howling gale, and the trembling iron chains created an eerie atmosphere that made one's skin crawl.

Ren Wushuang withdrew her gaze and led them swiftly towards the other side.

However, they failed to notice that in the distance, within a black hurricane, a tall figure flickered in and out of view like a specter, watching them depart.

「The other side of the chain bridge.」

The Lion Headed Hawk, now palm-sized, was perched on a large tree, its gaze fixed on the Land of Ruins across the chasm.

It's been over a month, it muttered to itself. I wonder if that human boy has found Master. There was apprehension in its eyes, some expectation, but mostly despair. Although it had allowed Qin Feiyang to enter the Land of Ruins, it didn't have much confidence in him.

"Huh?" Suddenly, it noticed a white light on the iron-chain bridge. Why is there light?

It soared into the air, staring intently at the white glow.

Gradually, an ecstatic joy filled its eyes.

It saw Qin Feiyang. It saw a strange Blood Eagle. And it saw a woman. That woman's face was all too familiar, unforgettable even!

"It's Master!"

"It's really Master!"

"She's back!"

Overwhelmed with joy, the Lion Headed Hawk flew towards the bridge, its eyes fixed on the approaching Ren Wushuang, tears welling up.

Qin Feiyang smiled. "Sister, look, the Lion Headed Hawk is waiting for you."

Ren Wushuang's beautiful eyes also misted over, blurring her vision.

「Several dozen breaths later.」

Qin Feiyang, Ren Wushuang, and the Blood Eagle landed steadily on solid ground.

"Master!" The Lion Headed Hawk immediately flapped its wings and flew into Ren Wushuang's embrace.

"Little one, you've suffered all these years," Ren Wushuang said, her voice choked with emotion, as she gently stroked the Lion Headed Hawk's head.

"No, no, no." The Lion Headed Hawk shook its head vigorously, showing its deep dependence on Ren Wushuang. "As long as Master could be saved, any hardship was worth it."

At the same time, the Blood Eagle was also screeching with excitement.

"So this is sunlight..."

"This is the air outside..."

"This is the world outside..."

"We're out! We're finally out!..."

It spread its enormous wings, soaring joyfully in the sky, basking in the warmth of the sun. It couldn't be blamed; having lived for so long, this was the first time it had ever seen sunlight.

Qin Feiyang smiled, then turned to look back at the Land of Ruins. A determined light shone in his eyes, as if he had made a decision.

Ren Wushuang glanced at Qin Feiyang, returned the rib to him, and then also looked towards the opposite side. She sighed. "Liberating the Land of Ruins will not be an easy task."

Qin Feiyang nodded. Rescuing everyone from the Land of Ruins was indeed unrealistic. Even if they could be rescued, the people of the eighteen provinces would not accept them. But those ordinary people were, after all, innocent.

Qin Feiyang's hands slowly clenched into fists. After a moment, he said, "If they cannot be rescued, then one day, I will personally obliterate the Land of Ruins."

Ren Wushuang's body trembled as she looked at Qin Feiyang in shock.
