Lin Ronghao screamed and was scared out of his wits. Even if he was in his best condition, he might not be able to escape from the hands of the ghosts. What's more, he was almost at the end of his life now.
After Lin Ronghao screamed, the twisting Ghost Gate, which was hundreds of feet high, made people's hair stand on end, opened with a bang. Two huge ghost hands with long hair like steel thorns came out and grabbed him like how he grabbed Gu Caiwei.
"No, don't … let me go …"
Lin Ronghao struggled frantically and his eyes were full of panic, as if he couldn't accept what was going to happen next.
An Earth Perfected Immortal had no power to resist the ghost hands and was directly pulled into the Ghost Gate.
The giant gate closed with a bang. As it shook slightly, Lin Ronghao's shrill scream came out.
Without the bindings of the hurricane, Yan Li fell to the ground. He retreated in shock until he leaned against the stone wall and found a sense of security.
The shrill scream that made people shudder lasted for half a quarter of an hour before it gradually disappeared.
Sometimes, half a quarter of an hour was longer than a century.
On the Ghost Gate, the ghosts were motionless.
If it wasn't for the dust that was still falling slowly, Yan Li would really think that time was frozen.
Suddenly, the green eyeballs of those ghosts started to move, as if they were hunters looking for their prey. They moved around and finally landed on Yan Li and Lu Li's bodies.
Yan Li's nerves were tense and he couldn't help but stick close to the stone wall and hold the Leave Cliff Sword tightly. He planned to cut down whatever it was that reached out to him without saying a word.
"Don't, don't move …" Gu Caiwei's weak voice sounded in his ear, "Your Ghost Order is a beginner level, it has a limited time. That beast has held on for half a quarter of an hour, it has no time to deal with us. Don't attract its attention …"
Hearing this, Yan Li immediately held his breath and restrained all the Qi in his body.
Sure enough, after that, the ghosts closed their eyes unwillingly, as if they were about to fall into a deep sleep.
Just as the two of them heaved a sigh of relief, the Ghost Gate suddenly opened with a "bang", scaring the two of them to the point that their faces turned pale. If their mental endurance was slightly weaker, they would have jumped into the water to escape on the spot.
They could even hear each other's heartbeats as they stared at the empty Hellgate without blinking.
Just when the two's nerves were stretched to the extreme and they were about to lose control, the huge ghostly hand did not appear. It only spat out a shining silver ring, which fell to the ground with a "ding dong" sound. Then, it closed and disappeared.
After the Ghost Gate disappeared, the small token also shattered into ashes.
Peace was finally restored in the karst cave. Only the sound of water rushing ashore could be heard from time to time.
Yan Li's body relaxed, and he collapsed to the ground. He felt so exhausted that he didn't even want to move a finger.
After resting for a moment, the small sobbing of a young girl suddenly came from the darkness. It was light and soft, making people unable to help but feel pity for her.
Yan Li propped his body up and opened his eyes. He saw Gu Caiwei sitting opposite him. She had her head buried in her knees, and her small shoulders were shaking. She couldn't help but laugh. "Hey, hey, this doesn't look like you at all, young girl."
Gu Caiwei was still quietly sobbing by herself.
Yan Li suddenly wanted to see what her crying face looked like. So, he propped his body up and limped over. "Hey, Gu Caiwei, you can't really be that weak, can you? Are you playing some trick again?"
Gu Caiwei raised her head, revealing her tear-stained face. She choked and said, "You bastard, you're still making fun of me!"
Although the light in the karst cave wasn't very clear, Yan Li still couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Gu Caiwei's face.
"What are you looking at, bastard!" Gu Caiwei picked up a stone and threw it at Yan Li.
Yan Li only reacted after being smashed to the ground. He said with a bitter smile, "Now I finally know why they are so infatuated with you." As he said that, he walked over and took out a handkerchief from his Universe Ring and handed it over.
"I don't want your handkerchief." Gu Caiwei pushed it away in disgust. Then, she took out a handkerchief from her Universe Ring and wiped her face. "The Great Brahman Prajna Sutra mentioned that everything in the world is empty. It's really boring to be infatuated with things that are empty!"
Yan Li shrugged and wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth with the handkerchief. Then, he sat down beside her and exhaled. "That's because you have it, so you don't think much of it. The Sutra even said 'Ascetic Nirvana', but there are still a lot of Buddhist disciples who come one after another for the title of Great Master. "
"That's a kind of honor. Don't you understand?" Gu Caiwei said.
"Is that so?" Yan Li was too lazy to argue. He turned his head and found that Gu Caiwei's delicate body was still slightly trembling. His heart softened. "I think you lack a sense of security. It's probably because you've been alone since you were young."
"Do you think you know me very well?" Gu Caiwei said coldly.
"I've heard of your story." Yan Li said softly, "I was homeless when I was about the same age as you. I know very well that only a person who lacks a sense of security knows how to protect himself better."
He smiled and looked seriously at Gu Caiwei. "But you're different from me. You have a family."
Gu Caiwei's heart seemed to be stabbed by something. She suddenly became incomparably cold. She said coldly: "I don't have a family. Also, my matters have nothing to do with you. You better take care of yourself! "
Yan Li frowned but did not speak again.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat stiff.
Yan Li sat for a while. Just when he was about to get up and go back to the opposite side, his arm was suddenly grabbed by Gu Caiwei. Then, she fiercely bit him.
"What are you doing!" He cried out in pain.
Gu Caiwei let go of his hand. She said angrily: "After we go out, if you dare to talk nonsense outside, see how I'll deal with you!"
"Why do you women always like to use biting people to express your inner feelings." Yan Li shook his head helplessly. "Could it be that you're all born in the year of the dog?"
"Humph." Gu Caiwei disdainfully turned her head away.
Yan Li suddenly smiled mischievously. He said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you referring to the fact that you were almost defiled, or that you, the successor of the Lotus Throne, actually cried? "
"You're not allowed to say anything!" Gu Caiwei's face was full of murderous intent. She stared at Yan Li and said word by word.
But she suddenly giggled. "Little bitch, if you dare to say anything, I'll go to Yan Zhi Mountain and bully your soulmate, that Lord of Giant Deer Territory."
"Go." Yan Li shrugged. "I hope you won't cry when the time comes."
Gu Caiwei's face instantly burned. She angrily grabbed Yan Li's hand. She opened her mouth and fiercely bit down. It was as if she wanted to silence him.
Yan Li's pig-like screams echoed in the cave.
… …
"I won't say anything." Yan Li suddenly stopped screaming. She picked up the gold-threaded mask from the ground. She gently put it on Gu Caiwei's face.
That pair of deep, black, and bright eyes caused ripples to surface in Gu Caiwei's heart.
"It's better if you don't show your face." Yan Li said.
"You're afraid that you won't be able to control your heart and abandon your soulmate?" Gu Caiwei giggled.
