<h4>Chapter 1357: Chapter 1370</h4>


    "When Mrs. Wues back, I’ll ask her. She’s familiar with this ce and should know where to get some wood."


    Ye Liang chuckled, she coughed lightly to disguise her embarrassment, then returned to her original seat.


    Chu Ge ignored Ye Liang and naturally didn’t notice her unusual behavior.


    Chu Ge sat quietly there; the view was quite good, allowing him to take in half of the city.


    He learned from Mrs. Wu that this ce was Ye Xia Country; the name was something he’d never heard of in his knowledge.


    Chu Ge sighed; he was drawn into a ck hole while within the Man Yue n, and now he had no idea what was going on there.


    ...


    After Fang Lang lit the second Wolf Smoke Tower, he quickly returned to the cave. He strode up to Old Wang and asked, "I’ve lit the second Wolf Smoke Tower. Our Man Yue n hasn’t encountered this situation for centuries; it’s the first time, right? The first time lighting two Wolf Smoke Towers, what if it’s a false rm, this..."


    Fang Lang whispered continuously in Old Wang’s ear, making Old Wang somewhat annoyed. He stared sharply at Fang Lang and said, "Enough, haven’t you said enough? How can a grown man be so nagging! If it’s wrong, just say I told you to light it! Put all the me on me; is that okay?"


    Fang Lang, scolded like that by Old Wang, became a bit annoyed himself, his heart suffocated, "Aren’t I just worried? Can you be sure there’s definitely a problem?"


    Old Wang pointed at the Time-Space Mirror and said, "Are you blind? Five cracks have appeared! Did you ignore the Great Elder’s words back then? Did you listen seriously when he was exining to us?"


    "Enough!" Fang Lang waved his hand, "What’s the use of talking about it now? Anyway, if anyone asks, I’ll say it’s you who lit it!"


    Old Wang snorted, "Always looking tough, but in crucial moments, you turn cowardly!"


    "You!"


    Fang Lang wanted to argue, but Old Wang impatiently gestured for him to shut up.


    Old Wang’s gaze was fixed on the Time-Space Mirror, contemting how to handle the sudden appearance of the five cracks.


    After a while, Jian Chunqiu and the others hurried over.


    When he entered the cave entrance and saw whaty before him, he became tense.


    Old Wang didn’t expect Jian Chunqiu and the others to arrive so quickly and walked to Jian Chunqiu, saying apologetically, "Sorry for missing you before."


    Jian Chunqiu raised his hand, "Talking about it now is useless."


    Jian Chunqiu’s gaze was fixed on the Time-Space Mirror, not expecting five cracks to appear on the surface at once. He thought they were just appearing staggered in five separate times but didn’t expect them to appear simultaneously.


    Having five times appear simultaneously had never happened before, and such a situation was extremely dangerous!


    "Have you informed your Great Elder?"


    Jian Chunqiu asked.


    Old Wang and Fang Lang exchanged a nce, unsure how to respond.


    "Master, did you forget? Man Feng previously said their Great Elder is already dead."


    Lin Dong cautiously stepped forward to remind, as this was his first time seeing the Time-Space Mirror, which looked almost no different from normal mirrors except for the five cracks on it, making him feel like something inside was constantly churning.


    Jian Chunqiu paused, then realized he indeed forgot.


    Old Wang pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, our Great Elder is not dead."


    "What do you mean?"


    Jian Chunqiu looked at him, puzzled.


    Fang Lang didn’t expect Old Wang to be so indiscreet and pulled him aside, "What are you trying to do?"


    Old Wang sighed heavily and said, "Fang Lang, we’ve had our differences, but now our main focus is the Time-Space Mirror, and only our Great Elder understands it!"


    "But he..."


    Fang Lang was speechless, unsure how to reply. Yes, the one who understands the Time-Space Mirror in detail is the Great Elder, but the Great Elder is afflicted with a strange illness. Now, they’ve dered to the outside world that he has passed away, and nowing out with the truth that the Great Elder is still alive, he dared not imagine the consequences.


    "Do you even understand what time it is, and you’re still thinking about the consequences? Do you know if the Time-Space Mirror has a problem, our entire Man Yue n will be finished?"


    Old Wang eximed angrily, turning to Jian Chunqiu, "Our Great Elder is actually not dead, only afflicted with a strange blood-drinking disease. We kept this matter quiet to prevent causing panic, so the Great Elder has been confined with a guard."


    After Old Wang finished speaking, he deeply sighed, thinking it’s a tumultuous time and unsure what the Man Yue n did to deserve such retribution.


    Jian Chunqiu narrowed his eyes, "You’re saying the Great Elder is drinking blood?"


    Old Wang nodded, "Originally, people from Man Yue Pavilion went to the Central ins to find Chu Ge to cure the Great Elder, but he never came, and the Great Elder’s condition worsened. We had no choice, so we announced he had passed away."


    "What kind of illness is this? Drinking blood?" Lin Dong asked in a low voice, hearing a person drinking blood was something new to him.


    Just the thought of the taste of human blood...


    Lin Dong couldn’t help but feel nauseated.


    "Staying here is useless; where is your Great Elder? Take me to him."


    Jian Chunqiu said, knowing they understood little about the Time-Space Mirror’s origins. They had no idea how to handle such a situation, so waiting there would be a waste of time. Better to do something useful.


    "He is confined in the Heavenly Pond, just behind this mountain; a fairly short distance."


    Old Wang stated.


    Fang Lang furrowed his brow, "Old Wang! You really want to take them to see the Great Elder?"


    Old Wang clenched his back teeth, "What else? Think carefully, once the Time-Space Mirror has a problem, even Man Feng himself can’t control it. You are just going to wait there? Wait for the Time-Space Mirror to explode by itself?"


    "Explode?" Fang Lang looked at Old Wang in confusion, "Don’t try to scare me!"


    "Scare you? I think it’s your brain that’s fried!"


    Old Wang retorted indignantly, "I think you’ve been following Man Feng for so long you’ve gone dumb! Have you forgotten what the Great Elder said? In our world, there are twelve parallel timelines, each independent. If several timelines ovep and appear simultaneously, it’s easy for the Time-Space Tunnel to cause an explosion and temporal disorder. Have you forgotten all this?"
