The Imperial Advisor stopped in front of the lake and looked at the beautiful and quiet lake. A mysterious smile appeared on his face, and a deep sense of reverence appeared between his brows.
"Imperial Advisor, there is no path ahead. Where else do you want to lead us?" Tang Zheng asked in a deep voice.
The Imperial Advisor turned his head to look at him and said, "Who said there's no path?"
He stepped on the waves and walked towards the center of the lake.
With his cultivation, he could already cross the river on a reed. With a light tap of his foot on the surface of the lake, ripples appeared on the surface of the lake as he quickly walked towards the center of the lake.
"What is he going to do?" Li Xiaotian asked.
Tang Zheng shook his head, he could not guess what the other party was thinking.
"Take good care of Martial." Tang Zheng handed Martial over to Li Xiaotian, "Even if there really is some scheme, I have no way out."
Li Xiaotian hugged Martial and looked straight at him. She wanted to say something but hesitated: "Take care of yourself!"
Tang Zheng looked at her deeply, then looked at Martial gently. With a leap, he jumped onto the surface of the lake.
The soles of his shoes sank into the lake, but he did not completely fall into the water. However, compared to the Imperial Advisor's leisurely stroll, it was clearly much more difficult for him to walk.
Seeing that he had also arrived at the center of the lake, the Imperial Advisor gave him a strange smile and shouted, "Open!"
Crack!
As if something had been touched, cracking sounds could be heard from the bottom of the lake. The surface of the lake began to fluctuate violently, and in an instant, a huge whirlpool appeared on the surface of the lake.
The Imperial Advisor stood by the side of the whirlpool. No matter how powerful the whirlpool was, it was unable to shake him in the slightest.
Tang Zheng felt the vibration coming from beneath his feet and was surprised. What was the other party trying to do?
Before he could understand, the whirlpool grew bigger and bigger, and a black hole appeared in front of him.
The lake water flowed down the edge of the black hole like a huge waterfall.
The black hole was incomparably dark, without a single ray of light. It was impossible to see what was below, and a formless fear struck his heart.
"If you want to save him, then follow me." After the State Preceptor finished speaking, he jumped into the black hole.
Tang Zheng stretched his neck and found that the Imperial Tutor's figure had been swallowed by the black hole.
He turned his head to look at Li Xiaotian and Martial who were on the shore. Li Xiaotian looked at him with burning eyes, revealing a faint concern between his brows.
He suddenly turned his head and touched Xiao Bai on his shoulder, saying, "Xiao Bai, let's go and see what's strange down there."
Xiao Bai nodded heavily, his small eyes filled with a dignified expression.
Whoosh!
Tang Zheng jumped into the black hole. He heard the sound of wind and the roaring sound of flowing water.
As far as the eye could see, there was only darkness. It was like a bottomless pit. He didn't know when it would end, and he didn't know where it would lead.
If an ordinary person had fallen into such a black hole, they would have screamed in fear and lost control of their bowels.
But Tang Zheng didn't. He was like a calm and wise man, trying to find out what was waiting for him in front.
The darkness had completely submerged him, and the State Preceptor's figure had long disappeared.
A flame blossomed on Tang Zheng's fingertips. In order to disperse the sticky darkness, he ignited the True Fire.
The purple True Fire was exceptionally bright in the darkness, illuminating the surroundings and restoring his line of sight. The fear in his heart gradually subsided.
He looked carefully, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink as he exclaimed, "This is a huge cave!"
He could clearly see the edge of the black hole, the flowing water on the bluestone slabs, covered in moss, and extended downwards to an unknown place.
"This cave is really deep."
Tang Zheng felt that he was about to fall to the earth's core.
Why would there be such a strange cave in the State Preceptor's Mansion? Furthermore, it was built in the center of a lake and set up such a strange mechanism.
Suddenly, land appeared below. Tang Zheng was overjoyed, he had finally reached the end.
He immediately circulated his Innate Qi, which continuously rotated under his feet, canceling out most of the impact.
Peng!
He landed steadily on the ground, but the impact still shattered the stone slabs under his feet.
"Where's the State Preceptor?" He had already raised his guard and looked around vigilantly, but there was no trace of the State Preceptor.
"Since he led me here, he definitely won't hide and not show himself. This is definitely not a dead end, there is still a path ahead."
Sure enough, he found a stone door behind the waterfall. The stone door was hidden in the darkness, if he didn't have the True Fire in his hand to illuminate it, it would have been extremely difficult to find.
After the water from the waterfall fell to the ground, it splashed and flowed along a huge ditch to an unknown place, not accumulating on the ground.
Passing through the water curtain, Tang Zheng entered the stone door. A cool breeze blew out from the stone door.
There was air convection.
This meant that it was not a dead end, so he carefully walked forward, guarding against any sudden attacks.
He could already conclude that at this moment, the State Preceptor did everything possible to lure him here, it was definitely not just to kill him, but to capture him and obtain his magic.
Then the State Preceptor would definitely not easily take his life.
The State Preceptor also understood that Tang Zheng could end his life at any time, so he had to do it in one strike. A small trick would not work at all.
Since that was the case, then he had to guard against the State Preceptor's big move, a big move that could make him surrender.
Ding dong!
A crisp sound startled Tang Zheng, he tripped over something hard.
"What the hell is this?"
He quickly used the True Fire to illuminate the area, his breathing could not help but tighten, and he subconsciously took a step back.
"A skull."
A terrifying skull was placed on the ground, there were still traces of blood on it, as if it had not completely dried up.
"This …" Tang Zheng felt a chill run from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head. Although he was not afraid of this, why would there be a skull here?
And it looked relatively fresh, as if it had just died not long ago.
Suddenly, he realized something, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Could it be theirs?"
Wu Junshan and the others were imprisoned, could this be one of their heads?
Once this thought drilled into his mind, it could not be dismissed, he could not help but fall into deep worry.
What if it was Lan Yu's?
What if it was Wu Junshan's?
At this moment, he gradually understood that he did not know when, but he had actually become very concerned about their safety. It was the kind of concern that came from the bottom of his heart, unknowingly and imperceptibly formed.
Did he not always have a good impression of the two?
How did it become like this?
He shook his head hard, but he could not figure it out. In the end, he attributed all of this to the blood relationship, where blood was thicker than water.
Although he had always been avoiding this kind of blood relationship, the feelings in the depths of his heart had unknowingly changed.
In fact, when he was very young, he looked forward to this kind of relationship very much. Seeing that other children had parents who doted on them while he only had a grandfather, he had also fantasized that his parents would come to his side and give him endless love.
In the end, none of this came true, so he buried this extravagant hope in the bottom of his heart.
Ever since Lan Yu and Wu Junshan appeared, although he firmly rejected them, unknowingly, the hope buried in the depths of his heart had begun to sprout again, and it had unknowingly grown.
At this moment, when he realized that the two of them might really have left him, they were separated by life and death.
He could not help but feel a sense of fear.
"No!"
Suddenly, he screamed and rushed out like a madman.
The wind became colder as if it came from the underworld. Moreover, traces of the smell of blood were also blown by the cold wind, causing one's nerves to involuntarily tighten.
Suddenly, the scene in front of him opened up. He had arrived in a huge rock cave, and many stalactites were hanging upside down above his head like sharp swords.
Behind the stalactites was an underground river, and the water surged, creating white splashes. The river kept flowing forward, and it was unknown where it flowed.
There were some scattered bones on the ground, and Tang Zheng's heart tightened. He could tell that they were human bones, and there were mottled bloodstains scattered around.
This place was like hell on earth, causing people to tremble with fear.
"Hehe, you're finally here!"
The Imperial Tutor's voice rang out again. He was standing on a high platform not far away, looking down at Tang Zheng from above.
"Imperial Tutor, quickly hand over the person!" Tang Zheng's eyes were red with anxiety, and he roared in anger.
"You want the person, right? As you wish. "The Imperial Tutor said with a smile, his eyes flashing like a cunning fox.
The Imperial Tutor raised his head, pointed above, and said, "Don't you want the person? Isn't that it? "
Hearing this, Tang Zheng hurriedly raised his head to look. Where was the person?
Seeing Tang Zheng's puzzled expression, the Imperial Tutor reminded him, "Look carefully, aren't those stalactites people?"
Tang Zheng was suddenly startled, and looked over.
"Ah!"
Even though he was experienced and knowledgeable, he could not help but let out a cry of surprise.
Sure enough, those were not stalactites. They were clearly people hanging upside down, but their bodies were covered by something like crystals, making them unable to move.
"This … What exactly is going on?" Tang Zheng asked loudly.
"I always forgot to tell you something. Wu Junshan and the others were not captured by me." The Imperial Tutor said mysteriously.
Tang Zheng's eyelids twitched. This was a problem he had always ignored. Since he could force the Imperial Tutor with his strength, then with his cultivation, it was impossible for him to take down Wu Junshan and Lan Yu in one fell swoop.
One had to know that their strength had already reached the peak of perfection. It was easier said than done to capture them alive. Unless one's cultivation was several levels higher than theirs, it was impossible to succeed.
But the fact was that they were captured, so there must be a secret that no one knew.
Hearing the Imperial Tutor admit it himself, Tang Zheng hurriedly asked, "Then who captured them?"
"Hehe, when the time comes, you will naturally know." The Imperial Tutor deliberately mystified.
"You have helpers?" Tang Zheng asked, "Aren't you the legendary number one expert of the Island nation? Other than you, who else can do this? "
Tang Zheng's heartbeat quickened. This was beyond his expectations. If the Imperial Tutor had helpers, then wouldn't he be walking right into a trap?
