As if seeing what Gong Yue was thinking, his companion reminded him, "That kind senior has probably left."
Lu Yue didn't know what she was thinking about, she suddenly gritted her teeth and stood up to chase after him.
"Hey, Gong Yue, wait for me!"
His companions quickly followed.
Lu Yue chased to the fork in the road, looked around, and suddenly saw a black shadow blocking the white light in the exit road.
Seeing that familiar figure, Lu Yue's heart trembled, and she immediately chased after him, shouting as she ran: "Wait! I have important information about Guijian!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the black shadow in the distance really stopped.
Seeing this, Lu Yue was delighted and immediately rushed forward. The dazzling backlight disappeared, but she did not see a familiar face, but a mask.
Lu Yue's eyes were slightly red. "I came to see you alone, can't you show your true face?"
Xiang Sheng hesitated for a moment, took off her mask, and before she could say anything, she saw Lu Yue coming up and hugging her, crying with joy.
"It's really you!"
Lu Yue burst into tears and choked up, "After Siji City, I haven't heard from you again. I always thought you..."
Xiang Sheng smiled calmly, "It's amazing that you still remember me."
"How could you not remember?"
Lu Yue wiped the tears from her face, her eyes shining. "That move you just made was really powerful. Has the injury you got from outside been healed?"
Xiang Sheng smiled and said softly, "The Tianyan Sect has only been established for a few years, and they let you come to a place like this. Aren't you afraid of damaging the disciples' vitality?"
The change of topic was so abrupt that Lu Yue immediately understood what was going on and her heart ached.
In the silence, the footsteps of my companions were rapidly approaching.
Xiang Sheng immediately put on a mask.
When their companions came over and saw the two of them, they immediately bowed respectfully to Sheng and said, "Thank you for saving my life, senior!"
"It's just a piece of cake."
Xiang Sheng replied, staring at Lu Yue with a cold tone, "You just said you had information about Guijian. Tell me about it."
Lu Yue tried his best to calm down and not let his companions notice anything unusual. He said respectfully, "Reporting to the senior, this time we followed the sect's orders to enter Ghost Gorge. Before we set off, the sect had warned us that the black tide had receded early, and the terrain of Ghost Gorge had changed greatly. The maps collected by various sects are no longer useful.
Not only that, the Thousand Star Palace also predicted that there would be many more dangers and variables than ever before in Ghost Gorge this time.
Also, if you want to look for treasure, you must find a place called Gravel Beach, which is washed by the Kuroshio Tide. After the Kuroshio Tide recedes, many ancient treasures will be washed up.
This is what my companions and I have discovered.”
Lu Yue pulled out a half mirror from her sleeve and handed it out with both hands, "This mirror can guide the way, but it also has a bit of a weird side. Those evil spirits come from it."
Xiang Sheng took the mirror, pursed his lips and said, "Thank you."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and took a step forward. Her figure instantly disappeared into the white light in the blink of an eye.
"Yue'er, you are too honest."
When Xiang Sheng walked away, his companion, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but complain: "Without a mirror, how can we walk?"
Lu Yue looked helpless: "You have seen how powerful that mirror is. If we continue to hold it, we will only lose our lives. It is better to give it to the senior."
"What you said... does make some sense."
The companion thought about it and stopped dwelling on it. "Let's get out. I don't want to stay in this damn place for even a moment. We've already explored a place, so leaving now won't be considered a violation of the church's orders."
"Alright. Let's not talk about what happened to our senior today, to avoid being criticized by the sect because of that mirror."
"I know. I won't tell you."
“…”
Two days later, Lu Yue walked out of Ghost Gorge and looked at the dark entrance. He breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear, and his thoughts suddenly surfaced.
Xiang Sheng's injury hasn't healed yet, but he still forced himself to come to such a dangerous place. Most likely, he was trying to recover from his injury. Although my contribution is insignificant, it can still be considered as a help, right?
…
Xiang Sheng stepped out of the maze and sank into the soft sand.
She looked up and saw that all she could see was a gray haze. The dust and sand kicked up by the cold wind obscured her vision and blocked any spiritual detection.
Xiang Sheng walked forward and observed.
Apart from dangerous places like the Soul Maze, most of the Ghost Gorge is actually a wasteland covered with wind and sand. Danger is everywhere and cannot be predicted in advance.
Xiang Sheng extended his spiritual consciousness and scanned the surroundings, only to find that there were cliffs towering into the clouds in all directions, which made people feel despair at the sight of them.
Hallucination?
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she withdrew her spiritual consciousness. Just as the old demon king had said, pure sight was more useful here than spiritual consciousness.
After pondering for a moment, Xiang Sheng sped up against the wind. The booklet given by the old village chief mentioned that the direction the wind was blowing from was the end of Ghost Gorge.
The wind whimpered in his ears, as if blowing an ancient and desolate horn. As he walked, Xiang Sheng occasionally saw phantoms wearing unfamiliar clothes passing by him, and sometimes he could even see war scenes that took place tens of thousands of years ago.
Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, Xiang Sheng could truly feel the tragedy and sadness conveyed by the picture.
Was this a battlefield?
An unprecedented question arose in Xiang Sheng's mind. She had heard the legend about Ghost Stream many times, but the legend had never mentioned... Where did Ghost Stream come from?
As Xiang Sheng continued to go deeper, the wind became stronger and stronger, and the black mud on the ground became lighter in color, eventually turning pure white.
The wind stopped and snowflakes fell from the sky, making the sky and the earth appear silver-white. Xiang Sheng was like the only stain on the white paper, appearing particularly glaring.
Two days.
Xiang Sheng silently calculated the time in her heart. It only took her two days to reach the end of Ghost Stream?
