Then, that elder realized that Jiang Zhiyuanās face seemed paler. He couldnāt help but ask concernedly, āZhiyuan, whatās wrong?ā
Jiang Zhiyuan pulled at her lips. āI-Iām fineā¦ Itās just that my body isnāt very comfortableā¦ā
With her current disheveled look, it was indeed quite hard to feel comfortable.
āRest at the side first then.ā Initially, he couldnāt be bothered to say that either, but who told Jiang Zhiyuan to be Dan Qingās most favorite disciple?
When the two groups met and Dan Qing saw Jiang Zhiyuan in this state, he wouldnāt feel good. This elder had to give this face to Dan Qing.
āThank you, Elder.ā Jiang Zhiyuan spoke as she lowered her head. Nobody knew that her hands were already tightly clenched in her sleeves. The sharp nails dug into her palm, and blood seeped out, but she didnāt feel it at all. How could it beā¦ Mentor and the rest are actually alive?! And they even contacted the people here! What should I do? If the two groups really meet, thenā¦ How should I explain it?
Great nervousness and horror overwhelmed Jiang Zhiyuan, causing her to suffocate.
Nights in the Flood-Desert Northern Region were very short. The crowd only rested for a while before the sky lit up again.
After some rest, they recovered a slight bit of their physical strength.
Elder Hua Feng stood in front of the door and had two hands behind his back as his weak eyes stared at the door tightly.
āElder, do you not think that after Chu Yue went in yesterday, the force here became much more stable and gentler? Besides, the dragon roar didnāt sound again.ā Shi Ruiāer walked to Elder Hua Feng and asked softly.
Elder Hua Feng nodded thoughtfully. āYou discovered it?ā
If not for this, they wouldnāt be able to wait here stably yesterday. However, this calmness made them even more worried about the situation behind the door.
Such a long time had passed, but no noise was heard.
āWe canāt just keep waiting hereā¦ā Shi Ruiāer muttered. Then, she suddenly thought of something. āOh right, Elder, does Rong Xiu know that you came over?ā
āI donāt think so.ā Elder Hua Feng thought for a moment. āBefore we came here, Rong Xiu didnāt seem to be in the academy. Whatās the matter?ā
Shi Ruiāer shook her head. She just felt that perhaps Rong Xiu would have a way if he was here. After allā¦ he had an extraordinary relationship with Chu Yue. According to his personality, he should have a way of dealing with this situation. Itās a pityā¦
āForget it. Letās just take this time to rest ourselves. If there are still no noises laterā¦ā Elder Hua Feng clenched his teeth.
Chu Liuyue naturally knew nothing about the situation outside. All her energy was focused on cultivation.
After some time, she finally opened her eyes slowly. āAncestor, do you know what time it is now?ā
In a daze, she felt that a long time had passed. In such circumstances, Shangguan Jing would normally always remind her. But this time, she waited for a while and didnāt hear her ancestorās reply.
āAncestor? Ancestor?ā Chu Liuyue called twice in her heart.
Shangguan Jingās voice slowly sounded. āAboutā¦ a month.ā
On the one hand, it was because of how long it had been. She thought that only a few days had passed, but who knew that it had been a month?!
On the other hand, it was because her ancestorās voice sounded especially weak. Chu Liuyue had been with Shangguan Jing for so long, but she had never heard such a weak voice from him. It was as if all his force had been exhausted, and he was only hanging onto his last breath.
āAncestor, whatās wrong?!ā asked Chu Liuyue hurriedly.
āNothingā¦ Iām just tiredā¦ā Shangguan Jing seemed to want to perk himself up, but it was to no avail.
In actual fact, he faintly felt tired after entering the gully. But he was just a scarce remaining part of his soul, so he logically shouldnāt feel such a thing.
Together with the various dangers in the gully, he didnāt tell Chu Liuyue about this at all. However, he didnāt expect that this feeling wouldnāt subside over time. Instead, it even became worse. This was especially so after entering this areaāall the feelings of drowsiness almost drowned him.
If Chu Liuyue didnāt call him, he wouldāve directly slept, and nobody knew what time he would wake up.
āAncestor, areā¦ you okay?ā Chu Liuyue was still worried. Since we met, I have never seen Ancestor in such a state.
āCould there be something wrong here?ā She felt that it wasnāt obvious and that it was similar to the cultivation training areas. But from her ancestorās reaction, it didnāt seem so.
āNothingā¦ Iām just tired. Everything elseā¦ is fineā¦ā Shangguan Jingās voice became weaker. āYou donāt have to care about me. Iāll be better after I sleep for a whileā¦ā
Chu Liuyue knitted her brows tightly. āThenā¦ If you feel any discomfort, you must tell me immediately.ā
Shangguan Jing acknowledged it softly.
The surroundings became silent once again.
Chu Liuyue looked at the nameless tombstone before her.
A crisp sound was heard, and a tiny crack appeared at the top of the nameless tombstone.
Chu Liuyueās heart skipped a beat, and she quickly took two steps forward.
In the crack, there was only a deep dark color. Other than that, she couldnāt see anything.
There was no force movement, but Chu Liuyue couldnāt calm down. This tombstone that appeared in the Flood-Desert Northern Region shouldāve been here for at least a thousand years. So many years have passed, and this tombstone is doing fine. Why did it suddenly break when I just came for a while.
Chu Liuyue stretched her hand over and instantly felt a sharp aura crazily exuding out!
Chu Liuyue rapidly set up a barrier before her!
The barrier instantly shattered! Then, the terrifying aura attacked Chu Liuyue and caused her to fly toward the door!
Chu Liuyueās body glowed with a golden light, and the pure gold armor immediately appeared on command! The next moment, the force harshly struck Chu Liuyue.
Her chest was shocked, and her body instantly flew backward! She fell to the ground harshly and slid a distance.
Her back made a sound at the door!
Chu Liuyue spat out a mouthful of blood!
At the same time, the crowd waiting bitterly outside the door heard this commotion and looked at the entrance in shock! āThere are noises inside!ā
Elder Hua Feng felt elated and wanted to rush over. As long as there is noise, it can basically prove that Chu Yue is still alive.
But the moment he took a step out, two strange noises came from the sides.
He stopped in his steps and looked up at the gully in front.
The two mountain walls at the sides started cracking in unison! A mountain rock then fell from above!
Shock flashed across his eyes. āEveryone! Retreat immediately!ā
