Qin Yuanfeng stayed in the village for a few more days, using the time to organize the information he had gathered from the villagers and Chen Fu regarding the Kunlun Ruins, attempting to map out a relatively safe route inside. However, just as he finished his preparations and planned to enter the ruins at dawn the next day, an unexpected event suddenly occurred.
That night, as Qin Yuanfeng was packing his bags in his room, he suddenly heard a commotion outside. A chill ran through his heart, and he stepped outside to see the villagers gathered in the village square, their faces filled with terror as they stared in the direction of the Kunlun Ruins.
Following the villagers' gaze, Qin Yuanfeng saw a strange light appearing in the sky above the Kunlun Ruins. The light was spiral-shaped and constantly shifting in color—at times as crimson as fresh blood, and at other times like the eerie blue flame of a ghost—looking exceptionally bizarre in the night sky. The clouds surrounding the light seemed to be churned by a powerful force, forming a giant vortex that looked as though it were about to swallow the entire heaven and earth.
