He wouldn't bring the others to this place for the time being. If anything happened now, everything would be for naught.
An eye-opener? Yuan Gang didn't know what kind of eye-opener this place would bring.
As they spoke, they arrived at the underground river. They could hear the sound of flowing water and the sound of a waterfall in the distance.
Then, Zhao Xiongge shouted, "Who's there?"
Niu Youdao said, "It's me."
There was light in the darkness. Zhao Xiongge released the Moon Butterfly to illuminate the area. In the corner behind him, there were two women sitting against the wall. They were Shang Shuqing and Lv Wushuang.
The Moon Butterfly flew in front of Niu Youdao and the others. After confirming that there was no mistake, Zhao Xiongge felt relieved. He had been waiting anxiously for a long time.
Seeing that Yuan Gang had returned, Lv Wushuang felt relieved and stood up with Shang Shuqing.
Seeing that Niu Youdao had returned safely, Shang Shuqing clasped his hands together. He was inexplicably happy. He was glad that the unfortunate thing Niu Youdao said didn't happen.
"Qingqing." Seeing Shang Shuqing, Yiner shook off Niu Youdao and ran to him. She grabbed onto Shang Shuqing's sleeve and said with some grievance, "Qingqing, I'm hungry."
Niu Youdao couldn't help but roll his eyes. How long had it been since she last ate? Four hours at most. She ate non-stop before and now she was hungry? It was obvious that she had gotten used to it!
Shang Shuqing didn't know how long it had been since she last ate. He quickly turned around and picked up the bag on the ground. He took out the dry rations that he had prepared earlier and gave them to Yiner as if he was taking care of a child. Yiner smiled in satisfaction and continued to stuff the rations into her mouth.
Walking in front of the three, Niu Youdao looked around and asked, "Is there anything unusual?"
Zhao Xiongge said, "No." He also looked around. "This place seems to be like this forever." He looked back at them and confirmed that they weren't injured. He asked, "How is it?"
Niu Youdao said, "It's scary but not dangerous. Lan Daolin and Du Wuxu have been taken care of."
Hearing this, Zhao Xiongge's emotions surged. Lv Wushuang heard it clearly but still couldn't help but ask, "Already dead?"
Niu Youdao looked at her. "She ended up the same as Yuan Se. She was killed by your man."
Zhao Xiongge, Lu Wushuang, and Shang Shuqing all looked at Yuan Gang, but Yuan Gang did not react.
To Shang Shuqing, she was also very shocked. She knew that these people had gone out to do something big and killed two Holy Venerables, but she didn't know how to evaluate them. She felt that no matter what she said, it would be very childish.
Zhao Xiongge said, "It seems that you don't have to trouble us with the things you told us before. I can't do things that are too complicated."
Niu Youdao: "The simplest things can be the hardest things. For example, you persevered for so many years for a secret. If it were me, I wouldn't have been able to do it."
Zhao Xiongge: "You will find other ways to solve it."
Niu Youdao smiled and walked past him. He walked to the side of Silver'Er, who was eating. Silver'Er was chewing something in her mouth and looked up at him. Her heart was inexplicably filled with vigilance.
However, Niu Youdao still made a move and made her faint again. Her mouth was still wrapped in something, so Niu Youdao hugged her and turned around to signal Yun Ji.
Yun Ji understood and immediately cast a spell to open a hole in the wall. Niu Youdao placed Silver'Er in the hole and turned back to look at Lv Wushuang.
Lv Wushuang realized that she also had to put her in and quickly said, "Are we going to the back of the waterfall? I want to see what kind of seal it is. "
Niu Youdao was silent for a while and finally retreated from the hole in the wall. He tilted his head and signaled Yun Ji. Yun Ji immediately cast a spell to seal the hole and left an air hole for Silver'Er, who was sleeping inside.
"Let's go." Niu Youdao called out and led the way.
Yun Ji held onto Shang Shuqing's arm and quickly moved forward.
Zhao Xiongge quickly followed.
Yuan Gang sprinted a few steps and stopped again. He looked back and saw Lv Wushuang stumbling along, unable to keep up with everyone's speed.
The current Lv Wushuang had lost all her cultivation and was no longer the peerless saint who could roam the heavens.
Yuan Gang stopped and waited. Lv Wushuang came in front of him and looked up at him.
The two of them stared at each other for a while. Zhao Xiongge raised his hand and untied the big saber on his back. He turned around and showed his back to her before squatting down.
Lv Wushuang bit her lips and went forward. She lay on his back and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Yuan Gang wrapped his arms around her legs and got up. He carried her on his back and quickly jumped and galloped in the darkness, chasing after the light in front of them.
The water mist surged and the huge drop in water level created a deafening roar. Shang Shuqing looked up at the spectacular sight of the underground world.
Niu Youdao pointed at the waterfall and said to Zhao Xiongge, "There's a stalagmite stuck in the wall behind it. Pull it out. The entrance is behind it."
Zhao Xiongge nodded slightly. With a flash, he rushed into the rapids of the waterfall. He searched behind the waterfall and found the stalagmite that was nailed to the cliff. He invoked his arts with both hands and pulled it out with a buzz. He flew out of the waterfall and looked at Niu Youdao while floating in the air.
The stalagmite was no longer useful. Niu Youdao pointed at the turbulent pool below.
Zhao Xiongge understood and immediately let go, falling into the pool with a rumble.
"Let's go." Niu Youdao called out. He took the lead and dove into the waterfall.
Yun Ji wrapped her arms around Shang Shuqing's waist and flew up. Protective Upstanding Qi protected them as they broke through the waterfall and entered the cave behind the waterfall.
Yuan Gang, who was carrying Lv Wushuang on his back, looked up and was wondering if he should launch himself up. Zhao Xiongge, who was floating in the air, glanced at him and grabbed his arm. They flew up together and entered the cave behind the waterfall.
Niu Youdao looked back. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he released the moon butterfly to lead the way.
The ground was slippery but it did not affect them much. Those who had never been here before could see the signs of man-made excavation as they walked.
Soon, there were stairs that could be walked normally. The deeper they went, the quieter it became.
Not long after, rumbling sounds came from the front. When they reached another underground space with a huge drop, with the help of the moon butterfly's light, they found themselves at the bottom of a bottomless abyss. The two waterfalls on the left and right seemed to flow from the River Styx.
Shang Shuqing was looking up at this uncanny wonder of the world. Niu Youdao had already crossed the Broken Bridge and entered the cave on the other side. She was also brought over by Yun Ji.
Zhao Xiongge was about to lend a hand when he saw Yuan Gang sprinting over the abyss of the Broken Bridge with Lv Wushuang on his back. He landed and ran into the cave on the other side.
Zhao Xiongge looked back at the dark path they came from and went over in a flash.
When they walked further down, Yun Ji noticed Shang Shuqing's abnormality. She could clearly feel that Shang Shuqing was shivering and knew that she could not take the Yin energy that seeped out from here. She immediately cast a spell to protect her.
Actually, Shang Shuqing had felt cold earlier. It was just that she did not want to bring trouble to others. Ever since she could remember, she was a person who did not want to bring trouble to others. So she had been holding it in. Now that she had no choice, she really could not take it anymore.
A warm current was injected into her and dispersed the Yin energy in her body. Shang Shuqing said in a low voice, "It is Qing-er who has become a burden. Xie Yun Master."
Her words were filled with uneasiness and embarrassment. She would glance at Niu Youdao from time to time and felt that she was a useless waste.
"Princess is too polite." Yun Ji smiled and thought, no matter who gets into trouble here, nothing can happen to you. You are the key here.
By now, she had naturally guessed that Shang Shuqing was the key to unlocking the seal. Otherwise, she would not have brought Shang Shuqing here. Previously, when Niu Youdao wanted to keep Lv Wushuang, he did not forget to bring this person along. The reason was obvious.
She turned back to look, worried that Lv Wushuang would not be able to take it. In the end, she found that Lv Wushuang was very comfortable riding on Yuan Gang's back, looking around with a calm expression.
This was obviously not normal. She did not use her transcendence vision to take a closer look. She saw that Yuan Gang's corporeal body seemed to be stimulated by the environment here. His blood and Qi were exuberant and there was a feeling of being impervious to all evil. The strong vitality prevented the floating Yin energy from approaching. Lv Wushuang was also protected on Yuan Gang's back.
Yun Ji was secretly amazed. She found that Yuan Gang's corporeal body had reached a level that was beyond common sense.
Since he was fine, she did not care anymore and continued to protect Shang Shuqing as they moved forward.
Lv Wushuang was indeed fine. She felt that she was lying on a warm blanket. It was very comfortable. She looked at the scenery and did not need to walk. How comfortable was she?
When they could no longer hear the sound of the waterfall behind them, the temperature dropped even more. Even the moon butterfly could not bear it.
The group kept the moon butterfly, and Niu Youdao led the way with the luminous pearl in his hand.
They moved quickly and finally arrived at a stone room. They saw the huge spherical sealing stone.
Shang Shuqing's gaze fell on the lintel of the door that blocked the entrance of the cave. He muttered to himself, "Loyal Heart of Jade Blood!"
His gaze subconsciously fell on Niu Youdao and he thought of the words on the sword.
And that sword was not unfamiliar to Yuan Gang and Zhao Xiongge. They also looked at Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao turned around and walked to Shang Shuqing in a few steps. He faced her and said with a smile, "Your Highness, you should have an impression of these words, right?"
Shang Shuqing nodded. "The sword that Mr. Dongguo gave to Lord Father. These words are on the sword near the hilt."
Niu Youdao raised the sword in his hand. "Your Highness, do you remember mentioning this sword last time?"
Shang Shuqing said, "I remember."
Niu Youdao said, "Your Highness, it was your reminder that made me think of this sword and led me to this place. This is the secret place that Old Dongguo and your Lord Father set up. King Ning's intention of reminding you of this sword is here. "
Shang Shuqing looked at him in a daze. His eyes were full of surprise and doubt. He did not know what his Lord Father set up this secret place for.
Lu Wushuang looked doubtful. She did not understand. Even though she was experienced and knowledgeable, she felt like she was listening to a book from heaven.
Niu Youdao continued, "Your Highness, do you feel uncomfortable?"
Shang Shuqing looked around and tried to answer, "The Yin Qi here seems to be very heavy and cold. Without Master Yun's protection, Qing 'er would not be able to bear it."
Zhao Xiongge suddenly interrupted, "He was not talking about the environment here, but about Your Highness's body. Do you feel anything strange?"
Shang Shuqing subconsciously raised her hand and touched her face with her fingers. She did not know if she should say it. She felt that it was not appropriate to make a fuss about her ugly face. Would it make her seem pretentious? But under Niu Youdao's encouraging eyes, she tried to answer, "I don't know what happened to Qing 'er. The closer I get to this place, the hotter my face becomes … Qing' er feels that my face is a little hot and swollen. Daoye, does this count? "
