Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 674 - 639: First Update_3

Ghoul Ravine ultimately represented a part of the spells that had once been lost in Nanmen State. Originally, spells were rampant in Nanmen State, governed entirely by these spells. The ancestors of the Nanmen Royal Family controlled a particularly domineering and powerful spell. This spell, having evolved over hundreds of years, had become very stable. During that time, Nanmen State had reached an unprecedented level of power.

However, Nanmen State also knew that only by keeping the spells in their own hands could they ensure that Nanmen State would continue to thrive. Therefore, after more than a decade of effort, they had continuously centralized, standardized, and unified the spells of the entire state. This move promoted an unprecedented strength in the spells of Nanmen State, while it also turned many spells into Nanmen State’s most mysterious secrets, and gave birth to the most formidable spells in the history of Nanmen State.

But everything has a dual nature, human nature even more so. With such powerful spells, there were still those who were not satisfied and wanted more power. Thus, during the cultivation process, they succumbed to madness and caused that shocking catastrophe, leading to the annihilation of the Nanmen Royal Family and most of the cultivators of that lineage—as well as nearly half of the citizens of Nanmen State. In an instant, the spell system that had been built up over decades collapsed, and the majority of the spells also disappeared with the deaths of the cultivators. The power of Nanmen State had long since declined drastically and even became a vassal state of Nanzheng State.

At that time, Nanmen State was like a hell on earth, among the surviving members of the Nanmen Royal Family, only those with that special mark could avoid the harm of the spells; hence, there were such strange succession rules in the Nanmen Royal Family.

Among them, naturally, there were also spells that had fallen into the outside world, which later became Qiandao Temple and Ghoul Ravine. The two belonged to the same lineage; in Yin He’s understanding, the spells of Ghoul Ravine were more direct, closer to the original spell that had driven the Emperor of Nanmen into madness.

Thus, it was very easy to discover this secret from the body of anyone in Nanmen State who practiced the spells.

Yin He snorted coldly; this was why he had sensed trouble as soon as he woke up. Even if Nanmen Yu had not relied on mastering these spells to strengthen Nanmen State’s dream aspirations, they still could not avoid delving into the secrets of these spells to alleviate the still very troublesome issues faced by Nanmen State.

For the madness-inducing spells affected not just that generation, but generations upon generations. Except for the very few cultivators who were outside at that time, there are still descendants within Nanmen State who are tormented by the spells to this day.

The bonfire was already lit, and stealthily, two more guards were added. Xing Yu could not tell anything from this, but she still recognized numbers, and these two individuals did not look ordinary, being able to stand directly beside Nanmen Yu.

But, what was Nanmen Yu planning to do?

"King, if we don’t act now, it will be too late," a guard following close by said anxiously, "Subordinate is certain, they must have discovered something."

Nanmen Yu immediately turned back to look at his guard.

Regarding those things said by the guard, he was still somewhat skeptical; after all, he was sent to Nanzheng State as a child and had only returned to Nanmen State recently, only having seen a small part of it all.

Moreover, whether the Young Master of Ghoul Ravine could truly solve this problem that had troubled Nanmen State for so many years was uncertain.

Thus, Nanmen Yu had not yet made his final decision at this time. He had no feelings for that young man, but Xing Yu’s words—ultimately, he had to consider them; he could not allow the last of her people to meet a tragic end just because Zheng Nianru was gone.

"Can we first take control of that young lady?" Nanmen Yu asked.

"Yes," a guard immediately replied, "King is concerned about that young lady," "specifically asking Senior Brother Xi and another to come here, just to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"Wait a bit, wait for my order," Nanmen Yu was still uneasy; it would be best to persuade Xing Yu first.

Seeing that the carriage showed no signs of movement, one of the guards walked steadily towards the carriage.

"Miss Xing Yu, everything is ready; the mountains are full of jackals, wolves, and leopards, it’s safer in the cave," said the guard outside the carriage in a respectful tone that was no different from the day before.

Xing Yu looked at Yin He, as if waiting for the young man’s decision. After all, within the carriage, they still had a chance to escape; once they got to the cave, surrounded by so many people, it would not be so easy to leave.

Yin He nodded his head, was it up to you to decide not to get out of the carriage? Moreover, he realized, seeing the newly appeared individuals who were very mysterious and seemed to be cultivators, for now, they could only take one step at a time.

Xing Yu looked at Yin He a bit worriedly; seeing this, Yin He could only stabilize Xing Yu first, not letting the other side detect any flaws.

"Don’t worry, you have at least one advantage that no one else has," Yin He whispered.

Xing Yu stared blankly at Yin He.

"The ability to run," and even carrying him, she could still move as swiftly as the wind, something ordinary people simply could not achieve.
