Why aren't you answering me?!
"How do you expect me to answer?" Yang Wennan said helplessly, pushing Wang Xi's bubble forward. "Stop playing around, finding someone is the priority."
As you go further down the river, the color of the lake becomes darker, until eventually you can't see any color at all.
Wang Xi was terrified. She had already planned how to accumulate resentment in her heart after being killed by her senior brother, and how to turn into a vengeful ghost to seek revenge.
As it turned out, the lake surface looked icy, but she could actually walk on the bottom of the lake. Not only could she walk, but she also felt warm all over, as if she were sunbathing.
In the six months I've been in the snowfield, although there has always been sunshine, it pales in comparison to the warmth here.
"Looking for someone? Who is it?!"
Then, a flash of golden light appeared, and she saw the bubbles on her body.
She can breathe underwater entirely because of the air bubbles on her body.
"Will I die if this gets poked?"
"Then you'll be crying!" Yang Wennan told a lame joke. "You'll definitely see your senior brother die."
Wang Xi withdrew her hand and scanned the bottom of the lake with her eyes.
There are many roots at the bottom of the lake, with water bubbles attached to them. They grow together densely, vaguely resembling fruits attached to a tree.
As Wang Xi got closer, she also discovered that inside those bubbles were humanoid creatures curled up together.
"Where is this..."
Do you know the legendary Bridge of Helplessness?
Wang Xi nodded sullenly, "It's often said in storybooks, but... Senior brother, don't lie to me, how could the Bridge of Helplessness be a tree?"
"It's definitely not the Bridge of Helplessness for ordinary people."
"That……"
"Have you really not thought about where people of the second rank or above go in this world?"
"where?"
"If no one becomes an immortal, where do the legends of immortals come from?"
Wang Xi's mouth dropped open as she pointed incredulously at the bubbles. "These, these, these are all? So those who became immortals were actually, actually brought here?"
She didn't understand. "But, but why? Why can't we become immortals? Killing, killing is to suppress Qi Yun. These people... are they because they don't want another Qi Yun to appear?"
"I don't understand either. Your senior brother is just a nobody, and a nobody whose various indicators are all sealed. I'm already lucky to be able to use some things now. If I had stood on Qi Yun's side back then, I might be in an even worse state now."
"You're already in a terrible state, okay?" Wang Xi wasn't used to the bubbles on her body at first, but after running underwater for a while, she can now change direction skillfully.
However, she searched the entire tree but couldn't find any trace of the golden crow she had thrown down: "I clearly threw it down, so why can't I find it?"
"Senior brother! Jinwu isn't here. I've searched several times but haven't found him."
"I won't look for it."
"Then what are we looking for!" Wang Xi said, feeling frustrated. "Didn't we come down here to find it?"
"He's a demon god, after all, and he's perfectly at home here. You'd be better off waiting for him to come to you."
Wang Xi: ...
She asked incredulously, "You're not lying to me?"
"Find someone who resembles Qifeng, or Master Shan, Master Song, or Master Ai."
"Aren't you going to look for others?"
"The others..." Yang Wennan hesitated for a moment, "...tell me if you find them. The chances of finding the others are slim."
"Why not seek out Master and Senior Uncle Bai Teng? We've seen them fight to the death."
"I believe that my master, whom I have never met, would not be foolish enough to bring a useless person up the mountain, just like my master in this life would not accept a truly useless person as a disciple."
"So, am I dead or alive?"
"Do you still remember Wen Xueshan?"
"Um?"
“You and she are people with the same interests, including your father and elder brother. After waking up in Mogan City, they became like the species of Wen Xueshan’s clan.”
Wang Xi rubbed the goosebumps off her body. "Then...should I go back?"
The reason I followed Yang Wennan in the first place was because I felt he was safer, more reliable than the others on the mountain, or even Wen Jinge.
Looking back now, it seems she was indeed reliable, but she couldn't handle the blunt truth.
"They're all gone, they've become messengers. Does it make any difference whether you go back or not?"
Wang Xi: ...
"Oh, I remember now, the Grandmaster should have a body near Mogan City. Once that body is removed, the so-called Mogan City will really disappear."
Wang Xi: ...
"When we were at Qinghe Mountain, the Grand Master was out of his mind, as if he had not been able to fully control his new body."
Wang Xi: ...
"As you know, Grandmaster and Snow Maiden perished together to protect our master. It seems that the letters you received were sent before the city disappeared."
Wang Xi: ...
“I found it!” Yang Wennan didn’t discourage her anymore, but instead took the blister off the tree root. “It’s from Uncle-Master Song Huan.”
"This..." She hesitated for a moment, her unease growing stronger. "Senior brother, let's return it! I just feel..."
Song Huan was still the same taciturn Song Huan, no different from the Song Huan of Xuanyun Sect. Even with his eyes closed, his dullness was still evident.
"I have a feeling that something big is about to happen here..."
Before she could finish speaking, a splashing sound suddenly came from underwater.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
One sound after another.
One bubble after another burst.
Yang Wennan was dizzy and tumbling at the bottom of the river. Wang Xi, who was in better physical condition, went over and helped him steady. "This... Senior Brother, it's still possible to fuse, right?"
"If I don't merge, I'll die!" Yang Wennan rolled his eyes. "Let's go!"
Like an unprecedented underwater earthquake, after Yang Wennan brought out the bubbles containing Song Huan, the people inside those bubbles seemed to come alive.
Groans came from underwater as the people desperately tried to get closer to Yang Wennan; their instincts told them that they would be saved if they got near him.
Yang Wennan did not stop out of compassion. He carried Wang Xi and Song Huan's bubbles further and further away, while the tree roots behind them seemed like a hanging rope, pulling them all back.
“I feel…” Wang Xi looked at the blood wave behind him. Those people and the earth had been killed by tree roots.
More and more blood was flowing beneath the lake, slowly making its way towards the stream beside them. "Shall we go up?"
"Don't go up! Let's go to the next place."
After saying that, Yang Wennan led her downstream to dive.
The crimson wave followed behind the two of them. Wang Xi glanced behind her and felt as if something in that crimson mass was calling to her.
“Slaughter…” After witnessing the scene before, she felt a chill run through her body. “Slaughter, the blood I see every time I wake up, is it… is it from this place?”
“This wasn’t a snowfield before.” Yang Wennan handed her a water bottle to warm her hands and helped her circulate some energy. “Don’t freeze here. We’re walking the same path she used to walk. Don’t be scared out of your wits.”
"Wow, that's terrifying! It wouldn't be surprising if she wasn't insane."
"So in this life, she made us disciples suffer in order to satisfy herself."
