Stellar Immortal Queen LuLu's magical dance captivated all living beings. Her colorful dress shone brightly in the stone chamber, dazzling people.
During the dance, bursts of blood spurting sound came from inside the stone chamber. No one knew from which orifices out of the seven orifices that the blood spurted out.
He only knew that when the flash ended, there was no one in the stone room. Other than the bloodstains on the ground, there were no other signs of other people's existence. There was only the sound of light and brisk dance steps on the ground, reverberating in the stone room.
A moment later, the dance stopped, and the Stellar Immortal Queen's dance came to an end. Wang Lu sighed, took off Liu Li's colorful dress, looked around, and then laughed. "Sure enough, the one who stands at the end is not the one who has a clear conscience and doesn't need to be ashamed of anything, but the one whose sense of shame is different from ordinary people."
After laughing, he no longer laughed. On the contrary, Wang Lu's expression was unusually cold.
"Well then, I've won. Let me see your true face, Brother Manipulator behind the scenes!"
As soon as his voice fell, the floor of the stone chamber collapsed, and a bottomless pit swallowed Wang Lu.
—
In the boundless darkness, Wang Lu had been falling for an unknown amount of time. According to the law of physics, perhaps he had already fallen hundreds of miles away, but he still hadn't seen the bottom.
The ancient sword tomb was originally located in an unnamed space. In theory, if he fell out of the edge of the space and into the endless turbulence of space, it was very likely that this scene would happen. However, Wang Lu was very clear that he didn't fall out of the sword tomb. He was still inside it. It was just that the space of this sword tomb was perhaps beyond his imagination, and the secret behind the eight gates test was also beyond his imagination.
After an unknown period of time, Wang Lu finally landed. Like a falling star, it aroused a strong impact like landslide and tsunami … After accumulating such momentum for such a long time, thanks to his Non-Phase Sword Bone and Non-Phase Method, he was able to withstand it. If it was his Power King True Body, he would have vomited blood.
However, Wang Lu was more concerned about his own position.
He was surrounded by darkness, and layers of gloomy haze wrapped around him like an endless tide. There seemed to be an endless cold killing intent hidden in the black haze, causing people's minds to waver. As long as he came into contact with the black mist, he would feel waves of despairing and mournful wails reverberating endlessly in his mind. All kinds of suffering and misery in the human world turned into countless illusions that blinded his soul. After a while, he would start to have a headache, as if someone had branded all kinds of dark marks in his mind.
The black fog was so vicious!? Wang Lu hurriedly took a few steps back and left the black mist. He then looked around and saw that he had landed on an isolated island in the middle of the black tide. It was not big, and it seemed to have been created by the impact of his fall in the vast black tide. However, that impact also caused the terrain to shake, and there was a danger of the island falling apart. As the ground sank, soil and stones slid down, and the black tide continued to spread around, the foothold under his feet was also in danger.
However, there was a beam of light not far away. The silhouette of a boat was faintly glowing in the darkness. With a thought, Wang Lu immediately stepped forward.
It was indeed a boat. The hull of the boat floated above the billowing black mist, as if it was riding on clouds and mist. There were a few words engraved on the side of the boat, which were still the ancient characters that had been passed down for thousands of years: A boat in the sea of bitterness.
A boat in the sea of bitterness? In other words, the surrounding black mist was the sea of bitterness? Well, just a slight touch just now made me feel pain, as if I had personally experienced all kinds of suffering in the human world … I don't know how much suffering it took to gather into such an ocean, and what kind of devil was hidden in the depths of the ocean. This boat of bitterness came so coincidentally, as if it was deliberately sent by the devil in the sea of bitterness to welcome guests.
Ah ah, it should be.
The mastermind hiding behind the eight virtues test could not hold back for a long time. Just now, he used the Dance of the Astral Fairy to kill all living beings. Of course, this killer move itself was sharp, but there was also the help of the mastermind behind the scenes.
In fact, the test of the Gate of Shame itself was very worth pondering. Even if the degree of shame was 100, it would be considered a failure, but who would determine the scoring standard of this degree of shame? It was still the subjective assumption of the mastermind behind the scenes! Perhaps after seeing the Astral Fairy Wang Lulu, some people would only be slightly shaken — such as those whose daily life was very distorted and abnormal — but they would still be judged to have broken the shameful level and be eliminated.
The mastermind behind the scenes actually wanted to meet him directly, it was nothing more than a reasonable reason. And he … seemed to have no choice.
Objectively and rationally, this trip to the sword tomb had greatly deviated from the expectation. In addition to the interference of Shengjing Sect people, the experience in the sword tomb was also very bizarre. At this time, the most rational choice was to withdraw and report the matter back to the sect, and then let the sect Elders come forward to solve it. In fact, he sent Liu Li and Little Bai away so that they could return to the sect as soon as possible and seek help from the Elders.
However, he could not leave. Although he had reached this level and was no longer suitable for his current level, he still had to continue to move forward...
First, the situation was not completely out of control, and the Spirit Sword Heavenly Talisman in his hand could be activated at any time. Second, which was also the most important point: Actually, when he just entered the eight virtues trial, on the team roster that he held, Zhu Shiyao's name had turned into a strange orange color.
The team roster was personally given to him by the Sect Leader before he left Spirit Sword Mountain as a symbol of the team leader. On it were written the names of the four people from Lingjian School. As long as he opened the roster, he could judge the current situation through the color of the name. For example, Liu Li and Bai Shixuan's name were healthy green, while his was slightly tired light green with yellow. However, Zhu Shiyao's name was a strange orange.
Orange meant that she was temporarily not in danger, but she also encountered a great difficulty, unable to move freely, most likely trapped somewhere. And with the bizarre and ever-changing nature of this ancient sword tomb, it was not surprising that Zhu Shiyao's name could change from orange to red, which meant that she was in danger, or even black, which meant that she was dead.
Then, seeing this scene, what else could he do? Scrupulously abide by his duty as a disciple, sit back and wait for the sect to rescue him? That was easy and simple, but things were not like that. In fact, according to the time, Liu Li and Bai Shixuan should've already contacted the Sect Elders. If it was that easy to enter the sword tomb to rescue them, with the strength of the Elders, they should've already come.
Therefore, since he couldn't count on the sect's power, then he had to rely on himself.
It was difficult to say whether his current choice was in line with the professionalism of a professional adventurer or not. However, as a disciple of Non-Phase Peak, Wang Lu could be indifferent in other aspects, but when it came to seeing his fellow disciple in danger … At least, Wang Wu had never taught him that.
Wang Wu's point of view had always been that, since they were all from the Spirit Sword Sect, they should abide by the spirit of not letting the fertile water flow into the field of outsiders. Even if they wanted to cheat, they should only cheat the people from Lingjian School. They should never allow outsiders to humiliate them. And once their own people encountered danger, if they could help them, they must help them. And at this time, Zhu Shiyao was in danger. If there was anyone who could help her, besides himself, who else could help her?
Thinking to this, Wang Lu couldn't help but wryly smile. This was the saying, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Regardless of whether Senior Sister Zhu Shiyao recognized him as the lead disciple or not, since he was the sect's lead disciple and had the privileges of the lead disciple, then when it was time to fulfill his obligation, he would not shirk, even if the road ahead was full of thorns and a hundred times more dangerous than before.
As for the direction of the rescue, it had long been determined. In the captain's handbook, after turning to the rescue page, a few lines of words appeared in the handbook. Those were the words deduced by the Sect Leader's Stellar Diffraction Technique. The gist of it was that the opportunity to rescue was in the deeper part of the sword tomb … Therefore, Wang Lu had exhausted all means to break through.
As for now … Wang Lu thought about it and stepped onto the Sea of Bitterness Boat. The boat sank slightly and immediately set sail. The bow of the boat parted the black fog and slowly moved forward.
In fact, this step was somewhat risky. No one knew what the origin of the Sea of Bitterness Boat was. Sitting on it, one could feel the flow of magical power in it. The materials used were exquisite and the structure was exquisite. Although many of the design and production concepts seemed a bit outdated, it was still a rare spiritual object. Even with Wang Lu's knowledge, it was difficult to analyze its magical power in a short period of time. He only knew that with the protection of the Sea of Bitterness Boat, the vicious black tide of bitterness could not get close.
As for the purpose of this Sea of Bitterness Boat? It might be a necessary means of transportation to the devil's location, but it might also be the key to the devil's escape after being trapped in the sword tomb. The devil lured Wang Lu deep into the sea of bitterness so that he could steer the Sea of Bitterness Boat and send it to him.
Everything was possible, but Wang Lu did not intend to think too much about it for the time being.
One step at a time, one step at a time. Let's take this step first. Otherwise, it would be a groundless worry to be overcautious and indecisive.
The Sea of Bitterness Traversing Adversity Boat moved faster and faster, gradually braving the wind and breaking the waves in the boundless black fog. Although it was dark all around and there was no reference, Wang Lu could still clearly feel the black fog rapidly receding on both sides of his field of vision, and he was rapidly moving toward his destination.
Not long after, a light came into view. Wang Lu looked carefully and could not help but be surprised.
The light had actually opened up a space in the vast black tide. Where the light was, the black tide could not advance even an inch no matter how much it rolled. And in the light, an old man with white hair and beard was slowly moving forward, casually brandishing his sword.
As the Sea of Bitterness Boat continued to approach, the old man's swordsmanship became more and more clear. Wang Lu watched for a while and could not help but be distracted. It turned out that the old man's swordsmanship seemed to be casual, but each move and each style contained a very profound truth of the sword. If one's cultivation was not high enough, they might not be able to detect it. But with Wang Lu's understanding of the sword, he could already see the subtlety of the old man's swordsmanship. Really, every sword move was breathtaking.
Such swordsmanship was really unprecedented, and with this set of swordsmanship, Wang Lu was even more convinced of his judgment.
The person in front of him was the mastermind behind the eight virtues test. At the same time, he might also be the master of this sword tomb — at least one of the masters.
As for the name, it should be called … Sword Devil?
Because Wang Lu looked at the old man's robe. The front of the robe was embroidered with the ancient word "Sword", and the back was embroidered with the word "Devil".
Sword Devil's swordsmanship was not deliberately showing off. He waved the sword in his hand in the light, and in a moment, the sword light crisscrossed like lightning. It was unknown how many moves and how many styles he had used. Every move was natural, like moving clouds and flowing water, as if it was an instinct to walk, sit, or lie down. Looking at his appearance, this set of swordsmanship seemed to have been practiced since the beginning of the world, and he would not stop until the end of time.
Then, as the Sea of Bitterness Boat approached, Sword Devil suddenly stopped the sword in his hand and looked straight at Wang Lu.
A hoarse voice followed.
"Are you sick?"
At that time, Wang Lu was startled. As an opening remark, this was a bit too maverick. After thinking about it, he tried to respond.
"If being handsome is a kind of illness …"
