He Jun had nothing to say to Xu Ziling, because he really had nothing to say.
Fu Bo smiled and said, "He Jun, I'll give you this chance. Come to the main hall and I'll fight you one on one. If you win, I'll let you and Ming Wei go. If you lose, both of your lives will belong to me, and I can do whatever I want with them."
Shi Mingyue was shocked. She looked at He Jun. Would He Jun agree?
"Okay," He Jun agreed readily.
Fu Bo laughed heartily, "Then follow me to the main hall."
In the main hall, the night-shining pearls illuminated the entire hall, making it as bright as day. Fu Bo's men stood on both sides, and Shi Mingyue also stood on one side. Her life was tied to He Jun's. If he lost, she would die with him. She was ready.
He Jun and Fu Bo stood face to face with a distance between them. Both of them held a sword in their hands, and invisible flames of war permeated their bodies.
"Let's do it." Fu Bo said with a smile, his words showing 100% certainty of victory.
He Jun attacked, and their weapons collided, creating a dazzling spark and the sound of metal colliding was endless.
Shi Mingyue was terrified, but she didn't show it on her face because she wanted to trust He Jun.
The two men's movements were so fast that it was dazzling. Before anyone could see clearly, He Jun fell out and hit a golden lion statue.
Shi Mingyue hurried to help him up, but He Jun seemed to have no strength at all and couldn't stand up at all.
His face was extremely pale, blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help coughing twice, and more blood flowed.
"What's wrong with you?" Shi Mingyue was shocked. He Jun's reaction did not seem to be caused by a serious injury, but it seemed that he had some hidden illness.
"He won't live long." Xu Ziling said compassionately.
"Why?!" Shi Mingyue asked in shock.
"Because I took that medicine two hundred years ago, although it can temporarily stop the functioning of my body, my body is still slowly aging. Now my life span has come to an end, and I am at the end of my strength. I really won't live much longer." He Jun had to admit this cruel fact.
Fu Bo shook his head and sighed, "You should have died two hundred years ago. So, He Jun, no matter how you escape, you will still die in my hands."
Shi Mingyue hugged He Jun tightly. She couldn't accept this fact. He Jun was a very important person to her. They had been close friends through life and death two hundred years ago, and they were still close friends now.
"Can you still stand up?" Fu Bo asked deliberately.
Anyone could see that He Jun couldn't stand up anymore. Shi Mingyue cried and tears fell.
Tears fell on He Jun's face, and he tried to comfort her: "Don't cry." His voice was extremely weak.
"Even if a person's body dies, his soul will not disappear and will live forever in the world." He Jun sighed.
Shi Mingyue understood what he said and nodded: "You stay with me, and I stay with you."
She picked up the sword that He Jun dropped and slashed it across her neck.
Shi Mingyue woke up from the nightmare, sweating all over, with darkness before her eyes. She found herself still in the dark room of the ancient city palace, with her clothes neatly arranged.
So, was everything she just experienced a dream? She felt incredibly terrified, but thankfully none of it had come true. But why did she suddenly dream that Helian Yizhuo had transformed into Fu Bo? And even He Jun was dead?
Was it more than just a nightmare? Did it portend something? Shi Mingyue hurriedly got up from the ground. She couldn't just sit there and wait for death any longer!
She groped her way to the door and tried to open it. She pushed hard, but heard the sound of an iron lock from outside. It was obvious that the door was locked. This way was blocked, so she continued to look for the next way.
She continued to grope around the room like a blind person, her touch coming across dusty, damp things. She seemed to touch a table and a stool, but other than that, there was no way out.
Shi Mingyue's heart became more and more anxious. If the nightmare would become real and Helian Yizhuo was Fu Bo, then she must escape, she must escape! She couldn't go through the helplessness and despair in the dream again!
In the complete silence, she heard footsteps, footsteps that sounded like a death warrant. Helian Yizhuo was coming!
Shi Mingyue panicked. She started groping around again, and suddenly she bumped into something. The floor flipped over and she fell into the hole.
She was thrown around so hard that she was dizzy. When she came to her senses, it was still dark in front of her eyes. She could only crawl towards the road by feeling.
The strange thing was that she could feel things like hair and hard things wrapped in cloth along the way. She had already guessed what they were, but she told herself not to be afraid.
These are just the bones of a dead person. When a person dies, his soul leaves his body. There are no scary ghosts in the world. The living are always much scarier than the dead.
The passage was so narrow that she couldn't stand up. At first, she could only crawl forward. Later, the passage became wider and she was able to stand up and walk. She walked forward carefully. After an unknown amount of time, she reached the end of the road.
Shi Mingyue groped around again, wondering if there was a road here. If not, wouldn't she end up like the people she had met along the way?
It was strange to say, why were those people in this underground passage? What were they hiding from?
When she touched the part above her head, she felt like there was a stone slab pressing down on her head, so she struggled to push the stone slab away. She jumped up, tiptoed, and finally moved the stone slab away. Then she struggled to climb up, stepping on the earthen wall with her feet and clinging to the top. After a long time, she finally climbed up and left the cave.
It was still pitch black outside, and she could only rely on her hands to touch and feel. There was only damp soil outside, but she must have left the palace.
The most important thing now was light! Without it, she couldn't see anything! But without flint, where would the light come from?
She thought of Fu Yueli. There was no light in his childhood. As an adult, she couldn't stand it, and he was just a child at that time. How could he get through the time without light?
She walked all the way, wandering around like a headless fly, unable to hear any sound, and she didn't know where she was.
What if she tried to shout? What if Fu Yueli and the others were nearby? But she was still afraid. She was afraid that Helian Yizhuo's men were nearby, and if she made a sound, they would quickly capture her. Shi Mingyue decided to remain quiet. She continued to move forward in a certain direction without stopping.
The ground she was walking on was relatively damp, and it didn't feel like she was walking on the streets of an ancient city, because the streets were paved with tiles.
Suddenly, she saw a lovely light.
