Xiang Sheng naturally had no idea what Xue Jiushu was thinking.
This doubt can only be put aside and the answer can be sought in the future.
And just as Xiang Sheng was flipping through the memories of the evil refining, somewhere in the underworld.
A wisp of smoke rushed through the ground at a high speed until it stopped at a cold pond somewhere, condensing into an illusory human figure.
Seeing the cold pond, the illusory figure seemed to relax and breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to jump into the cold pond, a light laugh suddenly sounded very close to his ear.
"So you still remember this place."
The illusory human figure trembled all over, his eyes filled with fear, but he did not stop moving. Instead, he jumped into the cold pool at an even faster speed.
However, just as his illusory body was about to touch the surface of the cold pond, the rippling water suddenly solidified into a smooth sheet of ice, pushing him out.
Seeing this, the illusory human figure's eyes became even more terrified. He raised his head and screamed, then his whole body exploded into smoke and fled in all directions.
But before he could escape from the cold pond, the scattered smoke was suppressed by the sharp claws of a crow and condensed into a struggling illusory human figure.
"You should be happy to meet me, why are you running away?"
With a light sigh, Lu Xuanji walked out of the darkness.
The ice in the cold pond melted, emitting a shimmering light that illuminated half of his smiling face.
The illusory human figure was suppressed by the sharp claws and could no longer speak. He could only keep begging for mercy.
Lu Xuanji walked up to the illusory human figure, reached out and touched the face, and the blurry face immediately became clear.
If there were someone here at this moment, they would be shocked to find that the face of the illusory human figure was exactly the same as Lu Xuanji's.
Looking at this face, Lu Xuanji's eyes were gentle:
"You disappeared for many years without a trace, so I just thought you had improved, and I wanted to see what skills you had learned outside.
I never thought that I would become a coward with only a broken magic weapon."
At this point, Lu Xuanji couldn't help but sigh, "How boring! How could my regret be so boring?"
His every word and action was extremely gentle, but in the eyes of the illusory humanoid, he was a thousand times more terrifying than the devil.
Upon hearing the last sentence, the illusory humanoid figure struggled even more frantically, with pleading expressions almost overflowing from its eyes.
Unfortunately, the more it was like this, the more Lu Xuanji felt that it was worthless.
He stood up and waved his sleeve lightly. The crow immediately opened its bloody mouth and turned into a black hole to swallow the illusory human figure.
A human-shaped mark appeared on the crow's neck, and it was still struggling frantically. However, after just a dozen breaths, the mark gradually disappeared and returned to normal.
Then the crow opened its blood-red eyes and burped.
Lu Xuanji opened his eyes at the same time, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and his aura became more round and restrained.
The crow looked at him, deep longing revealed in his bloodshot eyes: "With that last flaw filled, you're now stronger than your elder brother! How about..."
"Strong or weak, you can't just say it and it will count."
Lu Xuanji interrupted the crow and smiled, a smile full of meaning: "It's not time for him and me to fall out yet. Besides, the upcoming Xizhou should be very lively, so don't miss it."
Upon hearing this, the crow immediately laughed "cackle".
"Watch the fun! Watch the fun!..."
Lu Xuanji raised his sleeves and disappeared along with the crow.
Only the hoarse and unpleasant laughter remained, echoing underground for a long time.
…
Coffin Hall.
Xiang Sheng put away the fragments of "Deceiving Heaven", sat quietly and waited for a moment, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked towards a wooden coffin on the left.
Duan Xue pressed her brows and sat up straight, her memory still stuck on the moment when she was killed in the illusion.
Where is this? Has she emerged from the illusion?
She looked around the palace and soon met Xiang Sheng's gaze. Her pupils shrank and her memories instantly came back.
"It's you! You broke the illusion?"
This cry, echoing in the silent palace, was extremely harsh and immediately woke up more people around.
The palace gradually became lively. Many people were stunned for a moment after waking up, and then burst into tears of joy. Some even ran directly to Xiang Sheng and knelt down to kowtow.
Xiang Sheng stood between the two coffins with an expressionless face, not responding at all.
Amidst the heated discussions, Duan Xue looked extremely unhappy.
Xiang Sheng’s identity is so sensitive. Once the Pantheon discovers her presence in Xizhou, danger will surely ensue!
This time she took the risk to come and rescue secretly, without revealing her true intentions, which was a very good thing, but her words exposed the truth.
The Pantheon only needs to investigate a few things and will definitely find Xiang Sheng's whereabouts.
What should I do?
Filled with guilt and worry, she walked over to Xiang Sheng and said, "I'm sorry..."
"No problem."
Xiang Sheng smiled faintly: "If I wanted to, I wouldn't have given you the chance to speak from the beginning."
Duan Xue was stunned when she heard this, and then frowned.
Did Xiang Sheng do it on purpose?
She wants to use her own mouth to prove her existence?
Why is this?
Isn't she afraid that the Pantheon will target her to death?
"Master Uncle Duan?"
A murmur suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
Duan Xue came back to her senses, looked down, and happened to meet Tang Yin's gaze.
"Junior-in-law Yin? Why are you here?" Duan Xue was surprised.
"Uncle-master, this is what happened..." Tang Yin recounted the whole story.
After listening to this, Duan Xue was silent for a moment, and finally sighed softly: "This time, I was too careless and harmed the disciples in the hall."
"Master uncle, how can I blame you for this?"
Tang Yin quickly spoke to comfort him, "Master often says that the laws of nature are unpredictable. Cultivators like us are fighting for our lives against the heavens. Death is our destiny."
Xiang Sheng listened from the side and raised his eyebrows slightly.
