Chapter 175 Embracing Here

In the dilapidated hall of the Golden Crow Temple, Mu Jianjian, facing the moonlight, stood up with her tired body holding Bai Tuan, and looked down at Ye Xuanzhi, whose face was hidden in the shadows.

Although he casually explained his relationship with Murong Yunyan, she knew it was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

"Let's go." Ye Xuanzhi turned his gaze away from the lifeless body of Murong Yunyan. "Let's go help them."

"Mmm." Mu Jianjian gently rubbed the white ball and quickly followed Ye Xuanzhi.

He didn't let his emotions get the better of him and keep her waiting for too long; the calmer he was, the more worrying it became.

The moonlight, which was usually visible, seemed unusually cold at this moment, casting long shadows of the two people.

——

As the two had expected, the entire Demon Palace was completely silent. When Mu Jianjian and Ye Xuanzhi rushed to the Xuan Shuang Sect's residence, they indeed saw the collapsed and tilted palace.

The ground was covered with deep marks and black pits left by true energy. Mu Jianjian quickly stepped into the hall and searched for Sang Wanyue's figure in the gray dust.

"Yueyue?"

Before Mu Jianjian could take a few steps forward, a burst of true energy approaching the Nascent Soul stage attacked her!

"Mu girl, be careful!"

As a hoarse old voice fell, a solemn-faced old man in white robes landed in front of Mu Jianjian and blocked an attack for her.

Old Xu glanced at the two injured men, then warily looked at the dark figure in the distance. "This is not something you can interfere with! Get out of here right now!"

“Old Xu!” Mu Jianjian naturally recognized the old man in front of her.

Seeing that the people from the Supreme Palace had also come to help, she finally felt a little relieved.

It seems that Gong Yuanjin truly believes she spread the news...

"Let's go!" Old Xu himself was not in good condition. His usually well-groomed white beard was now showing signs of being charred from the flames, and he had some injuries on his body.

Mu Jianjian immediately turned to look at Ye Xuanzhi, whose hair had turned black again, and said, "I'm going to find Yueyue. You stay here and help Old Xu."

“Okay…” Ye Xuanzhi hesitated for a moment. He could see the worry in the other person’s eyes. “I’m fine, but you, Jianjian… don’t push yourself.”

Mu Jianjian waved her hand, saying she wouldn't, and then left. She used her divine sense to probe the surrounding true energy, and when she got closer to another place, she indeed saw several disciples.

Not only members of the Xuan Shuang Sect, but also those from the Sheng Lian Ting and Wu Shang Gong were present.

"Senior Brother Song, is Yueyue with Ye Wuluo now? How is the situation?"

Seeing the anxious expressions on everyone's faces as they couldn't get involved because of their cultivation levels, Mu Jianjian asked.

Song Yin clenched his fist and said, "Senior Sister Sang is with the young master of the Supreme Palace. The two of them are... there."

He pointed to a black dot floating in the air.

Black dots the size of a fingernail?

Song Yin looked guilty. "At the time, a dark figure was fighting them, and we couldn't get involved at all... In the blink of an eye, the two of us were caught up in it."

"After that... there has been no news... and this black dot is unaffected by any attacks, and it is impossible to enter."

Upon hearing this, Mu Jianjian immediately touched the black dot with her hand, and sure enough, nothing happened. A golden light flashed in her right pupil, and when the illusionary butterfly appeared, she finally discovered the mystery at the black dot.

All eyes were fixed on Mu Jianjian in the middle when the girl suddenly disappeared. Everyone was overjoyed and was about to go back in to help, but they found themselves excluded by the black dots again.

"This disgusting secret technique! That's all the cultivators from Yingzhou know how to do!" a disciple of the Supreme Palace roared.

"Damn it! I can't help at all!"

"Senior Sister Sang and Young Master Gong have been gone for so long, I hope nothing bad has happened to them."

"..."

Hearing a commotion nearby, Song Yin frowned and interrupted, "Why be discouraged if you can't help? Wait here for the three of them to come out—"

"Senior Brother Song... is it possible for them to come out?"

The surrounding noise stopped, and a question stood out prominently.

In fact, every disciple present had just felt the oppressive force of the shadowy figure's attack. Even just a glance from afar revealed that this person was different from all the powerful figures they had encountered before.

powerful.

He is stronger than anyone I have ever met before.

Therefore, manic-depressive mood arises, and unease pervades everyone's heart.

"able."

In the silence, Song Yin uttered a single word, and the image of the girl flashed through his mind.

Others might not know, but if it were her...

Then a miracle will surely happen.

——

Despite being called a "miracle" by others, Mu Jianjian is still slowly groping in the dark.

Her five senses were overwhelmed by darkness; she couldn't see anyone, not even an object or creature.

Mu Jianjian: ...

That's really scary.

"Yueyue?" She finally uttered the first sound as she stepped into the world of black dots.

"I never expected that ants from the lower realm would enter my other world." A rough male voice suddenly sounded from behind, startling Mu Jianjian so much that she immediately dodged forward.

"Jianjian! Don't listen to him!"

At the same time, Sang Wanyue's anxious shouts came from another direction. She wanted to rush to the young lady's side immediately, but she was too late.

Blood gushed from her ears, and a dizzying, fainting sensation washed over her as Mu Jianjian was struck and collapsed.

What kind of secret technique is this?

Is it an attack that uses sound mixed with true energy to achieve maximum effect in the darkness?

"Another small fry. Small fry can't survive long here. It should at least be a rat, right?" The man's rough voice and his innocent tone seemed like completely different people.

The man clapped his hands, seemingly happy and wanting to celebrate something. "But rats should know it's wrong to help small fry, so why did they do it? Breaking the rules, they should be punished!"

He casually waved his hand in the air, and then heard the "whoosh" sound of true energy entering the body.

Mu Jianjian covered her mouth tightly in the shadows, afraid that she might vomit blood and make a sound.

You cannot make a sound, you cannot communicate, and you cannot break the rules.

They seem to be animals kept by men in the shadows, at the very bottom of the food chain, deprived of their sight, and subject to their whims and amusement.

These are the people from the upper realm...

Mu Jianjian clenched her fists in the shadows, a sense of resentment welling up inside her.

"Why aren't those small fry running away? It's no fun if they don't run." The male voice rang out again, like a death knell. "Even if they're weak, they should at least thrash around like that last one, right?"

"Pfft"

Her already injured right arm was injured again, and she couldn't avoid it. Mu Jianjian bit her lip tightly to keep herself from making any sound.

Her teeth were chattering.

Is there any way?

Judging from the man's voice, Gong Yuanjin must have met with misfortune, leaving only her and Yueyue. Is there really a way?

Mu Jianjian's thoughts were in disarray. The night was long and endless, but her body had already grown cold from countless battles.

Until a warm hand touched her arm.

...Yueyue?

Mu Jianjian turned her head to look, but all she could see was darkness, and she couldn't see anyone. Only her body gradually approached and she was slowly pulled into his arms.

The firm and powerful force in her arm gradually calmed her icy, trembling body.

Amidst the boundless darkness of this otherworldly black dot, fraught with peril, they embraced.
