Ling Ying asked confusedly.
They landed on a grassland, but looking around, it was still an endless prairie with no demon beasts, no magical treasures, not even the breath of living beings, only the boundless silence.
"That's strange…"
Yang Tian activated his Divine Sense and probed around, finding indeed no Spiritual Breath, only the Demon Qi in the air was getting stronger.
With that, Yang Tian felt his heartbeat speed up, and his breathing became a bit erratic.
He quickly circulated his Spiritual Breath to calm himself, noticing that beside him, the faces of the three women including Wang Yue were very red, seemingly affected by the Demon Qi in the air, and each was experiencing varying degrees of discomfort.
"Here, use this to hold your breath!"
Yang Tian extended his hand and refined three Breath-Holding Spirit Talismans.
"Big brother, I feel much better now…"
After sticking the Breath-Holding Spirit Talisman, Wang Yue sat on the ground, her face no longer red.
At the side, Ling Ying also applied the talisman and gradually adapted to the Demon Qi in the air. Only Wang Ying was standing there, her face very pale, her body slightly trembling.
"President Wang, what's wrong?"
Yang Tian noticed Wang Ying's anomaly.
"Nothing…"
Wang Ying shook her head.
"Nothing?"
Yang Tian looked towards Wang Ying and saw her pale face, knowing she was very uncomfortable. He used his Divine Sense to probe Wang Ying's body and found her Spiritual Breath was somewhat chaotic, but besides that, there was no obvious abnormality.
Whoosh!
Yang Tian refined another Breath-Holding Divine Talisman and attached it to Wang Ying.
"Yang Tian, I feel much better now…"
Wang Ying said.
Yang Tian glanced at Wang Ying, seeing her face was not so pale anymore, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, let's search on the sixth layer continent!"
Yang Tian waved his hand and led the three women forward.
They searched across the endless grasslands, but after days and nights, found no magical treasures or demon beasts. By the fourth day, Yang Tian felt something was off, "The aura of more than ten survivors didn't appear here, and the witch's aura can't be felt at all, I suspect we may not be on the sixth layer continent!"
"What?" Wang Yue's face turned pale, "Then big brother, where are we now?"
Yang Tian shook his head, even he didn't know where this place was.
"Yang Tian, let's find a place to rest…"
Wang Ying said.
"Hmm, we can't figure out where this is right now, let's just settle for peace at where we are!"
Yang Tian said, leading the three women to a nearby lake, where they set up a temporary tent intending to rest for a few days. That night, Yang Tian took out some dry food from the Weed Ring for the three women to eat, and then he went out.
When he returned, it was already midnight.
From far away, he heard Wang Yue and Ling Ying around a campfire boredly roasting something, but Wang Ying was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is President Wang?"
Yang Tian landed and asked.
"Sister said she was tired and already resting…" Wang Yue picked up a chicken leg and handed it to Yang Tian, "Big brother, I roasted this chicken leg specially for you!"
Yang Tian took a bite and complimented it as delicious, then walked into the tent.
Soon, he saw Wang Ying lying inside the tent, asleep with her clothes on, but as Yang Tian approached, his face suddenly darkened.
At this moment, Wang Ying was icy cold all over, with no breath at all.
"President Wang!"
Yang Tian thought it bad silently, recalling four days ago when they entered this grassy space, Wang Ying looked pale and shaky. At that time, Yang Tian used a Breath-Holding Divine Talisman on Wang Ying, improving her condition temporarily and then didn't pay more attention.
Now seeing Wang Ying lying motionlessly, icy cold.
Yang Tian realized she had been uncomfortable since entering here, but she hadn't said much these four days.
"Yang Tian, how could you be so careless? President Wang had an issue, and you discover it only now!"
Yang Tian scolded himself once.
He anxiously checked Wang Ying, circulated his Spiritual Breath into her body, but the breath turned into ice crystals upon contact, and in an instant, covered Wang Ying with dozens of centimeters of ice crystals.
"Big brother, what happened?"
Wang Yue and Ling Ying heard noise and rushed in.
Seeing Wang Ying freezing, encased in a thick ice crystal, Wang Yue's chicken leg slipped from her hand, and she instinctively called out, "Big brother, what happened to my sister?"
After speaking, she moved towards Wang Ying on the bed, but was pulled back tightly by Yang Tian.
"Don't go over, any Spiritual Breath near her will be absorbed by the ice crystal on her, transforming into more ice crystal!"
Yang Tian hurriedly explained.
"Then what should we do? Big brother, will my sister die here? What's happening to her?"
Wang Yue, frantic as an ant on a hot pan, anxiously exclaimed.
Yang Tian activated his Divine Sense to probe Wang Ying's body for a long time but couldn't tell what it was. At this moment, a bright light suddenly appeared in the tent, and an elder emerged—it was none other than the Continent Guardian.
"Continent Guardian, why are you here?"
Yang Tian frowned.
"Yang Tian, I have something to discuss with you!" The Continent Guardian said upon appearing, "I opened this grassy space and brought you in to avoid the witch's surveillance!"
"You brought us in here?" Yang Tian's face darkened, "Then you're courting death!"
"Yang Tian, don't be mad, it was the only way to meet with you!"
The Continent Guardian said calmly.
"But my sister is in trouble!" Wang Yue exclaimed angrily, "Since entering here, she has been unwell, and now after four days, something happened to her! Continent Guardian, if you harm my sister, I'll have the witch teach you a lesson!"
"Your sister is in trouble?"
The Continent Guardian suddenly noticed Wang Ying's condition, and with one glance, his expression changed: "This is the Wang Family Ancestral Curse! How can it be on her?"
"The Wang Family Ancestral Curse?"
Hearing the Continent Guardian's words, Yang Tian frowned.
Beside him, Wang Yue subconsciously asked, "What is the Wang Family Ancestral Curse?"
The Continent Guardian looked very surprised, suddenly staring fixedly at Wang Yue, and asked, "Little girl, are you from a Wang Family in East Sea? Is your father named Wang Jianqiang?"
"Huh? How do you know my dad's name?"
Wang Yue was stunned.
Meanwhile, Yang Tian was shocked, suddenly realizing: "Continent Guardian, are you saying that the condition on President Wang is an ancestral curse passed down?"
"Yes! It is indeed the Wang Family Ancestral Curse! I know these symptoms too well. But why did it emerge on her when for decades, no one in the Wang Family showed it?" The Continent Guardian's face was perplexed, he suddenly thought of something and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Demon Qi in this space triggered her Wang Family Ancestral Curse! Because my aura exists in this place, and thirty years ago, when I came here, the Wang Family Ancestral Curse surfaced on me too!"
"You also had the Wang Family Ancestral Curse?"
Ling Ying subconsciously asked.
"Yes, I also had the Wang Family Ancestral Curse!"
The Continent Guardian nodded.
And Yang Tian suddenly said, "Continent Guardian, you had the Wang Family Ancestral Curse too? So, are you also from the Wang Family in East Sea? Wait, is your real name Wang Lingzhan?"
