Chapter 239 Falling off a cliff

Unexpectedly, there was another world beneath the lake. Some fish of unknown species swam around, curiously watching the suddenly appearing monster. Some of the dumb-minded fish even bumped into it, only to be bounced away by the transparent cover.

This thing is much better than the water-repelling bead and her own Azure Water Talisman. These fish are quite interesting, though. She reached out and tentatively waved her hand, and the fish around her disappeared. Gu Yunxi stared at the ring; she had already thrown the fish into the stream.

They all craned their necks curiously to look at everything around them, nodding frequently, seemingly very satisfied with the new environment.

As we went down, the light grew dimmer and dimmer. Fortunately, we didn't encounter any frightening creatures. After a brief period of darkness, the surroundings brightened up again.

Finally reaching the bottom of the lake, the group landed around it. Ahead was an abandoned road, with some kind of plant growing on both sides. Gu Yunxi's intuition told her that no one had ever been here before, as there was no trace of damage.

Gu Yunxi wondered where Gu Yan, who had boarded the ship first, had been taken. She took a few steps forward and, seeing nothing unusual, the cultivators simply passed her and headed towards the path.

The unidentified flowers and plants emitted specks of light, making the path appear brighter. Even without the protection of the light shield, they could move freely at the bottom of the lake.

The road was about a hundred meters long when a magnificent building came into view in the distance, seemingly a palace. Several daring cultivators looked at the glowing plants, secretly picked a few flowers and stuffed them into their pockets, preparing to take them out to investigate.

Gu Yunxi felt a sense of déjà vu about this place, as if she had been here in some past life.

Several foreign monks looked at her and swallowed hard. "Chinese female cultivator, this is your territory. See how you open this gate."

Open?

Judging from the way these people looked, they were probably telling her to rush forward and die. She didn't move, but instead released her divine sense to investigate. Unexpectedly, the strange stone door blocked her divine sense. It seemed that there was definitely some secret here.

"I can't handle it, you guys do it yourselves."

She didn't rush to open the door, but instead circled around it. Such a heavy door, if she used brute force to break it open, not to mention whether she could even open it, if she angered some god, her life would be in danger.

However, the exterior decorations seem to be the work of a woman. Could it be that a female cultivator once lived here?

The three-meter-tall stone lion outside the stone gate looks majestic, but if you look at it for too long, it will make you feel a chill down your spine.

Seeing that Gu Yunxi had stopped moving, the group began to fumble around on the door. Several other cultivators rushed over, afraid of being too slow. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the group studying the mechanism outside the stone door.

There seemed to be a sound of something moving around, perhaps someone had accidentally triggered a mechanism, and the door slowly opened to both sides.

It was still gray and gloomy inside, and nothing could be seen clearly. Several figures were the first to slip inside.

Gu Yunxi had just taken a step forward when a large hand suddenly grabbed her. "Yunxi, I'm here."

Before they could even feel happy, their bodies plummeted straight down, as if falling into an endless abyss.

There seemed to be a wind, and Gu Yunxi felt her hair standing on end. It took her a long time to regain her balance, and the two landed on a cliff face.

"That was close!"

He Sihan was also still shaken, feeling like he had survived a disaster. Looking up, everything was gray and he couldn't see any edge. Looking down, it was still gray and he couldn't see the bottom.

The cliff is so steep that it can only accommodate two people. If anyone else were to fall, they would definitely be pushed off.

What's most terrifying is that the magic fails here.

Gu Yunxi wondered if she could take He Sihan to the space, but she ended up losing contact with the ring.

This place is so strange.

Sudden.

Gu Yunxi sensed something was wrong; the cliff seemed unable to support their weight, and she had to find a way to get He Sihan out.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine."

Gu Yunxi comforted him, looked at He Sihan, tore off one of his sleeves, bit her finger, and started drawing on it.

As soon as the blood talisman was finished, Gu Yunxi shoved it into He Sihan's hand, saying, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

To He Sihan's shock, he saw the spot where Gu Yunxi was standing collapse, while he flew upwards, unable to shake off the sleeve from his hand no matter how hard he tried.

"Yunxi..."

Gu Yunxi heard nothing except the howling wind. She kept her body close to the edge of the cliff until a "plop" sounded, and she completely lost consciousness.

On the edge of the cliff, Huo Ziyu and his companions hesitated, never expecting that the place where they had fallen was actually the edge of a cliff. If they had taken another step forward, they would definitely have fallen.

Not knowing where their master had gone, the group was at a loss for what to do when they saw a familiar figure fly up.

The sharp-eyed Guo Fuyun immediately grabbed him, "Young Master He, what's wrong?"

He Sihan landed steadily on the ground, while the talisman he made from his sleeve had completed its mission and turned to ashes.

Without a second thought, he prepared to jump, but Guo Fuyun and Huo Ziyu stopped him. "President He, what are you doing?"

He Sihan stared intently at the edge of the cliff, his eyes unwilling to even blink, hoping to catch a glimpse of that familiar figure, but there was nothing there.

"Let me go, Yunxi has fallen."

"That's all?"

Fearing he might do something impulsive again, Huo Ziyu found the rope his master had given him and used it to restrain him.

“This place is extremely strange; I can’t use my cultivation at all. She sent me up here at the last moment. Let me go; I need to find her.”

What?

Huo Ziyu looked at the edge of the cliff and finally realized something was wrong. So that's how it is. Now it seems that if he wants to save his master, he has to find a way to go down.

Seeing that there were many vines around him, he, as a wood-type cultivator, was sure he could get down with these as support.

However, he overestimated himself. After discussing with some other cultivators, he decided to go down and take a look. He made a rope from the vines and slowly climbed down the cliff edge. But not long after he went down, it was as if a huge repulsive force bounced him back up.

He Sihan was unable to move. He was extremely cunning and could only silently pray for Gu Yunxi's safety as he watched the others pacing around in circles.

cold!

Feeling the unusually cold surroundings, Gu Yunxi hugged her arms. Her clothes were soaking wet. She suddenly remembered that when she lost consciousness, she seemed to have fallen into the water.

He suddenly opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by a fire. He seemed to have reached the shore; he had been rescued.

"You're awake?" a pleasant voice called out.
