Chapter 105 You're Still Quite Divided

After a while, Liu Yuan suddenly smiled.

"You're quite the cut-off, little bastard."

Liu Yuan could feel that there were two forces colliding with each other in Xiao Mingxuan's body. One was the indifference he brought from Beili, and the indifference he had been tempered by years of experiencing the fickleness of human nature. There was also a warmth that appeared out of nowhere, making that cold body more humane.

Xiao Mingxuan rolled his eyes secretly in his heart and didn't want to pay attention to anyone.

After a full quarter of an hour, Jiang Ning seemed to have made up his mind. He slowly opened his tightly closed eyes and said, "I can tell you where the other half is, but... you also have to give me a new identity so I can go back."

"Okay, I promise." Zhao Chengning said.

"Untie me first." Jiang Ning showed the rope behind him, and his meaning was obvious.

Zhao Chengning frowned, "What are you trying to do?"

Jiang Ning smiled bitterly, "I've been captured by you, what else can I do? The mechanism is on me, how can I open it if you don't untie me?"

Zhao Chengning was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and had someone untie the ropes on Jiang Ning, "Don't play tricks."

After being untied, Jiang Ning stretched his limbs a bit, and only when everyone became impatient did he slowly take out an iron box from his arms.

He simply pressed lightly on the center of the iron box, and the stone wall behind him collapsed, revealing several large boxes.

No wonder they couldn’t find the mechanism, it turned out that the mechanism was on Jiang Ning’s body.

Zhao Chengning raised his hand and asked someone to go and check the box. When the box was opened, the shining gold almost blinded their eyes.

Xu Qingcheng nodded to everyone, "It's true, the quantity matches."

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and revealed their first relieved smile of the day.

The gold and silver were found, and this trip was not in vain. The task assigned by Emperor Jingyuan was also half completed.

"Now that we've found it, let's go back. We've been tired all day." Zhao Chengning spoke first and ordered people to seal the boxes and move them down the mountain together with the boxes outside.

As Xihe stood up, she heard a sinister laugh coming from behind her. Suddenly, her whole body trembled and she had a bad premonition.

"Why are you leaving? Let's go to hell together!"

The ground, which was flat just now, suddenly broke into pieces. The feeling of weightlessness surged into everyone's heart. The earth cracked, and there seemed to be a huge suction force in the cracks, trying to crush them.

"Get out! He wants to die with us!"

But it was too late. The ground collapsed too quickly and someone had already fallen into the crack.

Amidst the flying sand and rocks, they felt a force pushing them upwards, and in an instant everyone was sent to the only place on the west side that had not collapsed.

Xiao Mingxuan clung to a pillar to steady himself. He subconsciously glanced at Xihe. Sure enough, a blue light emanated from the girl's body, its color more intense than ever before. A faint mark, resembling a phoenix, appeared between her brows. The faint scent of sunflowers filled the air, enchanting her mind.

Everyone was safely evacuated. Xiao Mingxuan was about to pull the little girl back from the crack. Unexpectedly, the stone slab under Xihe's feet suddenly shattered, and her small body fell into the crack like a butterfly with broken wings.

"Xihe!"

Xiao Mingxuan let go of the pillar without thinking, and was blown up by the hurricane and fell into the crack.

After the two fell, the cracks quickly closed and the broken ground returned to normal without a trace of cracks, as if the life-and-death moment just now was just a dream for them. However, the collapsed stone pillars and the candles at the bottom proved the existence of the storm.

Liu Yuan grabbed Jiang Ning and shouted angrily, "Where did you take them? Speak! Open the mechanism!"

Jiang Ning laughed instead of getting angry, his face full of satisfaction, "It's useless. They fell into the crack in the ground. The moment it closed, they were crushed into pieces and died without a complete body! Hahahahahahaha..."

Liu Yuan raised his hand and punched Jiang Ning, causing him to lose two teeth and spit out a mouthful of blood.

He looked at the purse left on the ground and the half-eaten cake, and his heart sank to the bottom.

"Little brat..."

*

The moment the crack closed, Xiao Mingxuan thought they were dead, but for some reason, the earth seemed to only maintain surface calm, and the entire underground was empty.

He really felt that he had a bad relationship with the secret room. He fell three times a day, and each time was different.

But isn’t it a little... too beautiful this time?

All you can see is a plain. The wind blows through the overgrown branches, making a rustling sound. If you listen carefully, it seems as if the wind is accompanied by a few barely perceptible sounds of wind chimes, ringing one after another.

Ding Dong~

Xiao Mingxuan turned his head and found a flower growing out from the dense branches, swaying and falling into his palm.

The moment the water droplets on the petals touched the warmth of the palm, the world in front of me was distorted and the scene changed.

He seemed to be standing on top of a tall building. The woman in front of him was slender, wearing a red dress, standing with her hands behind her back.

He couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"This battle is truly a battle of life and death."

The moment the words came out, Xiao Mingxuan couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

Is that... Xihe's voice?

Although he looked a bit more mature than his usual childish appearance, Xiao Mingxuan still recognized him at once.

"If I die, you will leave the spirit world."

Xiao Mingxuan frowned and was about to speak, but unexpectedly a deep and unfamiliar voice came from behind him.

"Where do you want me to go?"

Xiao Mingxuan wanted to turn around, but found himself fixed in place. He could do nothing but listen. He only knew that there was a man behind him.

The woman seemed to smile and said, "It doesn't matter where you go. You are so capable. There will always be a place where you can settle down."

The man also laughed, "You know, you can't control me."

"Me too," said the woman.

It was a conversation without a beginning or an end. Before Xiao Mingxuan could think about it carefully, the scene before him changed again.

Smoke rose everywhere, corpses were scattered all over the ground, and the sound of fighting was endless.

At first, Xiao Mingxuan tried to avoid the swords and knives that were coming at him, until he realized that the weapons were piercing through his body.

He looked at his translucent hands, with some guesses in his mind.

Is this Xiao Xier’s past?

Just as he lowered his head in deep thought, a cry of grief suddenly broke out from all around him. In an instant, it seemed as if the sky and the earth were dyed in ink, with only the red color of the person jumping down from the city wall remaining.

"God Lord!"

Bang!

The moment he landed, Xiao Mingxuan clearly felt something in his body shattered, and the sharp debris peeled off his flesh bit by bit until blood was dripping.

He ran forward desperately and met those familiar eyes at first sight.
