Xiang Nan immediately rode to Tianshan Mountain.

After traveling day and night for half a month, we finally arrived at the foot of Tianshan Mountain.

However, the Tianshan Mountains are five thousand miles long from east to west and six hundred miles wide from north to south on average. They are the largest independent latitudinal mountain system in the world.

The Lingjiu Palace is a branch of the Xiaoyao sect, which has always been averse to ostentation and is mysterious. Even Murong Fu, who has been walking around in the world for a long time, has never heard of the name of Tianshan Tonglao.

Therefore, although Xiang Nan arrived in Tianshan, it still took him about half a year to find out where the Lingjiu Palace was.

In the past six months, he traveled almost all over the Tianshan Mountains, searching for elders and asking for news about Piaomiao Peak. It was really hard work.

Fortunately, he has not completely wasted these six months.

He happened to meet a Persian businessman in the Western Regions, and learned Persian writing from him, and he just happened to practice the martial arts from the Holy Fire Order.

The Holy Fire Order records the essence of the martial arts of the old man in the mountains, which is very different from the martial arts of the Middle Kingdom. It goes from front to back, from left to right. It is mysterious and wonderful. It is the pinnacle of heretical learning.

However, the level of this martial arts is actually not high. It still relies on moves to win. It is only equivalent to the first level of swordsmanship in Dugu Qiubai. It does not even reach the level of "Da Qiao Bu Gong". It is a fancy martial arts.

It treats real masters very poorly.

…

As the saying goes, hard work pays off. After half a year of searching, Xiang Nan finally found out the location of the Piaomiao Peak Lingjiu Palace from a herdsman.

It turned out that when his grandmother was ill, she was treated by the people of Lingjiu Palace. After his grandmother recovered, she brought the most delicious mutton, the most mellow cheese, and the sweetest fruits to Piaomiao Peak to express her gratitude.

I was lucky enough to enter the Vulture Palace.

According to what she said when she came back, the Vulture Palace was like a fairyland. It was majestic and magnificent, with a myriad of scenes, beauties like clouds, and laughter. The food they ate was delicacies, and the wine they drank was nectar. It was nothing like the food in the world.

It is precisely because of this that it left a deep impression on the herdsmen, and they imagined countless times that they could climb Piaomiao Peak, enter the Vulture Palace, and live the lives of gods.

It's just that Piaomiao Peak is hidden in the mountains and is heavily guarded. If you climb it without being invited, you will be beaten at the least, or lose your life at the worst.

Therefore, for hundreds of years, no one around the people dared to climb the mountain at will, and it was regarded as a forbidden area.

After Xiang Nan found out and understood, he was overjoyed and immediately headed to Piaomiao Peak.

When I came to the foot of the mountain, I looked up and saw that the mountain peak was covered in clouds and mist, and it was indeed worthy of the name Piaomiao Peak.

Xiang Nan used Qinggong and climbed straight up.

What surprised him was that he didn't see any of the maids from Lingjiu Palace along the way. Instead, he saw some bones scattered on both sides of the mountain road.

"Is the Lingjiu Palace no longer there?" Xiang Nan couldn't help but wonder when he saw this.

He rushed straight up and passed many natural dangers on the way, but he passed them all one by one.

An hour later, he came to a cliff. Under the cliff was a bottomless valley, and on the opposite side were some faint pavilions, hidden in the clouds and mist, looming.

"That must be the Lingjiu Palace." Xiang Nan was delighted, and then he took out the rope he had prepared and threw it far away to the opposite side, wrapping up a big tree.

Xiang Nan then pulled the rope, and he flew over the cliff at high speed, landed steadily on the opposite mountain, and then continued to follow the path towards the peak.

After walking for about an hour, we arrived at the top of Piaomiao Peak. The top was shrouded in clouds and mist. As far as the eye could see, there were pine trees, but not a single sound of human beings could be heard.

Moreover, we saw more and more bones along the way, as well as some swords, shields, crossbows, hidden weapons, etc. Most of them were damaged and rusted, which showed that there had been fierce fights before.

Xiang Nan felt something was wrong in his heart, so he continued walking along a road paved with bluestones. After walking less than two miles, he saw a huge stone castle standing majestically in front of him. There were stone statues on the left and right of the castle gate.

The eagle is more than three feet tall, has a sharp beak and huge claws, and is an extraordinary steed.

However, if you take a closer look, you can find that the outer wall of the stone castle is mottled and charred, obviously showing signs of being burned by arson. Moreover, the gate of the castle is also covered with marks from knife and axe. Even after decades, it still remains.

You can imagine the brutality of the battle at that time.

…

Xiang Nan stepped into the stone castle and saw that the stone castle was even more dilapidated, with broken walls, dead branches and leaves, rugged bones, and snakes and ants running rampant.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help but frown.

He then searched the castle carefully and saw that although the entire Lingjiu Palace occupies an extremely large area and has hundreds of houses, there was not a single complete room at this time.

Moreover, every room showed signs of being burned, so that nothing of value was left. As for the classics and books collected in the Vulture Palace, there were none, and it seemed that they had all been emptied out.

Xiang Nan also found that most of the bones of the deceased present were black, which was obviously a sign of poisoning.

According to his guess, about thirty years ago, the Lingjiu Palace was collectively poisoned and then washed with blood. After that, the Lingjiu Palace was completely evacuated and burned to the ground. The huge foundation accumulated over hundreds of years was reduced to

Fly ash.

However, Xiang Nan knew that the most valuable things in Lingjiu Palace were not gold, silver, jewelry, or rare and exotic objects, but those that were external to the body.

Its most precious thing is the stone carvings in the stone chamber, which are where the martial arts essence of Lingjiu Palace lies. As long as the stone carvings are still there, even if Lingjiu Palace is destroyed, there is still the possibility of making a comeback.

…

Xiang Nan then went to the garden of Lingjiu Palace and then tried to move the rockery in the garden according to the records in the book "The Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon".

The originally beautiful and unique rockery rocks in the garden were all smashed to pieces, making Xiang Nan cry out as a pity. It can also be seen that the person who did it really hated Lingjiu Palace, so even the rockery was smashed to pieces.

He refused to let it go, and had to smash it to pieces to be happy.

After Xiang Nan cleared away the rubble, he found a passage and walked in holding a candle.

Because he knew that this passage was full of hidden weapons and traps, Xiang Nan walked very carefully along the way. Fortunately, he had learned mechanics from Huang Yaoshi, and with his profound martial arts skills, even the traps couldn't do anything to him, so he finally managed to walk along the way.

It's a near miss.

After going twists and turns and spiraling downward for about two miles, there was finally no way ahead.

Xiang Nan calmed down and then pushed the rock on the left with all his strength, revealing a huge stone hall.

Xiang Nan stepped in and held up a candle in front of the stone wall. His heart suddenly felt cold. He saw that the stone wall here was also covered with pits and pits, and the stone carvings on it had long since disappeared.

"Made, who is so cruel that you won't leave any scum for me?" Xiang Nan was immediately speechless.

He was greedy enough, but he didn't expect this person to be even more greedy than him. He went to the Shaolin Temple to steal scriptures, but he just looked at them, and did not empty the scripture cave in the Shaolin Temple. But this person moved all the stone carvings in the Lingjiu Palace and the Xixia Palace.

Walking away, uprooting it, is too much.
