"Chu Feng, don't worry. You've got me, the queen."
"Whatever demons and monsters are lurking in these tombs — if they stay put, fine. But if they dare come after you, I'll make sure they never return."
Sensing Chu Feng's unease, Eggie waved her little fists and spoke with complete confidence.
As she said all this, she even seemed a little excited — it was clear that Her Majesty was actually looking forward to trading blows with those ancient-era old-timers.
"With my Eggie here, naturally I'm not worried. But don't use that power of yours so recklessly — your health comes first," Chu Feng said.
"Yes, yes, I haven't lived long enough either. I know what I'm doing — you don't need to worry," Eggie replied.
"Really?" Chu Feng was not entirely convinced.
But suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately accelerated once more.
It should be noted that Chu Feng's previous speed was already the fastest he could maintain under normal conditions. Pushing beyond that would inevitably take a toll on his body.
"Chu Feng, what's wrong?" Eggie sensed something was off and couldn't help but ask.
"My connection with grandmother has disappeared," Chu Feng said.
"Disappeared? How could it disappear?"
"Could it be that this starry sky has a special formation that blocks spiritual sensing, preventing you from sensing grandmother's location?" Eggie asked.
"I didn't sense any special blocking formation, and there's no unusual power in this starry sky."
"But my formation's link with grandmother has indeed vanished — and completely so," Chu Feng said.
"Chu Feng, don't worry too much. Grandmother is incredibly powerful — she should be fine."
"Maybe the place grandmother is in has a blocking formation?" Eggie offered in comfort.
Normally, there were only two possibilities.
The first was as Eggie had said — grandmother was inside a blocking formation, and even the formation Chu Feng had planted couldn't lock onto her location.
But if it was the second possibility, things would be very bad indeed.
That would mean the formation Chu Feng had implanted in grandmother's body had been erased. However, if grandmother had erased it herself, she would have done so long ago — she wouldn't have waited until Chu Feng drew near.
So the far more likely scenario was that both grandmother and that formation had been wiped out altogether.
And that was exactly what Chu Feng feared.
Fortunately, Chu Feng had memorized the precise location where his connection with grandmother had vanished.
When he drew close, he discovered that the spot where grandmother had disappeared corresponded to a tomb.
This tomb was one of the smaller ones Chu Feng had encountered along his journey.
But from its appearance alone, it was comparable to an entire world.
Setting aside any comparison with the other tombs, just looking at this one by itself, it was undeniably grand and awe-inspiring.
Not only was it massive, it was also built with imposing grandeur, and it emitted a faint glow.
Most importantly, this tombstone was not blank — there were characters inscribed upon it.
The tombs of the Ancient Burial Grounds were centered around their tombstones.
From a distance, one usually couldn't see the full structure of a tomb, but the enormous tombstone could be clearly made out.
Therefore, even from far away, the characters on the tombstone were the most eye-catching feature.
*Tomb of the Spirit-Commanding Sword Sovereign.* "This tombstone actually has a name on it — does that mean something?" Eggie asked.
Along their journey, every single tombstone had been blank. This was the only one they had seen with a name on it.
"It's very likely that the ruins of this tomb have already been breached by someone, which is why this reaction occurred."
As Chu Feng spoke, his speed did not slow in the slightest. Regardless of whether someone had breached these ruins, or what changes this tomb had undergone — His grandmother's signal had been severed at this very location, and Chu Feng had to find out why.
As he drew closer, the enormous tombstone vanished without a trace, replaced by boundless fog.
A formation!!!
