Jiang Si and Han Yunluo saw the words "there's something going on" in each other's eyes.
"Could you please describe the situation at that time?"
The old man pondered for a moment: "It was not long ago, someone rose from the Yellow Springs, stepped onto the Yellow River, and disappeared into the other side."
"Isn't it said that the Yellow Springs water is formed from countless causes and effects, and no one can withstand it?" Han Yunluo asked.
“This young friend only knows one side of the story.” The old man smiled. “You cannot bear the consequences of karma because you are within the karma of this world. But if you have already transcended the karma of this myriad worlds, you will naturally be free from constraints.”
This surprised not only Jiang Si, but also Han Yunluo.
Everything in the world is formed by cause and effect. You and I are all within cause and effect. Even the gods may not be able to escape this cause and effect, yet some people can escape it.
"There are still people who can escape cause and effect?" Jiang Si asked in disbelief.
"Escape from cause and effect, naturally because there is no cause and no effect. Once one dies, one will vanish into the world, leaving no trace on earth."
The result was as if the soul had been scattered.
"How can we escape?"
The old man rowed his oar, looked into the distance, and sighed: "Selling your soul to the devil is enough."
"This will make the demonic power both strong and fragile."
Jiang Si couldn't imagine what kind of idiot would do such a thing.
Gaining the power of a demon is a foolish thing for Jiang Si, as the demon can also crush you with one hand. Entrusting your life to someone else is something Jiang Si cannot even imagine.
Just then, Jiang Si sensed the remaining magical power of her Cold Light Sword.
"Stop," Jiang Si said.
"Right here?" Han Yunluo asked.
They had already sailed quite a distance from the Bridge of Helplessness. The old man stopped rowing and looked at the two of them.
The Yellow Springs water below continued to churn as always.
"Hmm." Jiang Si peeked out and stared at a certain point. There was no mistake, it was right below.
Jiang Si was born with a disability, and her connection to this world was all due to her master's love and care back then. Now she is no longer in her original time and space, and she has no attachments in this time and space. In other words, her karma in this time and space is infinitely close to zero.
This is also why Jiang Si dared to come to the Yellow Springs.
She hesitated not for any other reason than that it was too disgusting inside.
Jiang Si couldn't take it anymore.
Fortunately, she was prepared.
Han Yunluo watched helplessly as Jiang Si put on a diving suit, covering herself up completely.
The tight-fitting wetsuit accentuated her shapely figure, but who could understand the shock of seeing a wetsuit in the underworld?
But upon closer inspection, it makes perfect sense.
A diving suit is an inanimate object, untouched by cause and effect, and therefore unaffected by the waters of the underworld.
But Jiang Si is different.
Even with Han Yunluo's exceptional intelligence, she couldn't figure it out.
Seeing Han Yunluo's questioning little head, Jiang Si explained, "I am not from this time and space, and I have no causal relationship with this time and space."
Han Yunluo: "..."
Okay, she forgot about that.
“You wait here for me. Wait until I force that person to come up here. You know what I mean,” Jiang Si said.
Han Yunlu nodded emphatically.
She's an old acquaintance of the underworld, and has countless ways to trap all sorts of people.
Jiang Si took a deep breath and, holding it, plunged into the Yellow Springs.
The water in the Yellow Springs was extremely murky, with visibility almost zero.
The air was bitterly cold, but Jiang Si didn't care. She quickly sank down, carefully sensing the guidance of the remaining magical power.
After sinking for an unknown amount of time, she discovered that the Yellow Spring water was gradually becoming clearer. If it weren't still icy cold, she would have almost thought she wasn't in the water at all.
Suddenly, she seemed to see a glimmer of light in the water.
Jiang Si frowned slightly.
At this depth, there are no living beings in this Yellow Springs; it can't be just a glowing stone.
Nobody would believe it if I told them.
Jiang Si wouldn't recklessly venture into the unknown.
She casually pulled out a small object from her bosom and threw it with all her might. Just as the small object touched the ball of light, a powerful surge of magic rippled outwards.
Jiang Si hurriedly protected her heart meridian and barely escaped the disaster.
After that light...
A woman knelt there, trembling, her face filled with fear, her lips completely white, shivering but unable to utter a single word.
From his high position, a male voice sternly said, "Useless! You can't even do a small task properly." The voice was devoid of any emotion, as cold as if it came from the depths of hell.
“I told you not to run into Jiang Si, but you really ignored me. Since that’s the case, I can’t let you live.”
The man waved his hand, and the woman was thrown away.
As Jiang Si was still thinking of a way to get closer, she saw a woman suddenly appear.
Jiang Si: "???"
She quickly moved aside slightly.
The woman, as if all her strength had been drained, floated in the clear Yellow Springs, her resentment materializing as she shot towards Jiang Si.
She used her last bit of strength to rush over and try to hug Jiang Si.
Jiang Si continued to dodge.
The woman's hair was washed away by the water, allowing Jiang Si to see her face.
"???"
"Xiang Zhiyi?"
Jiang Si still remembered this face quite well, but why was it here? Thinking of what the illusory figure in the hospital said, no wonder he said it had been a long time; it really had been a long time.
Even though she guessed that Xiang Zhiyi's death was suspicious and that he would come back to cause trouble, she never expected to see Xiang Zhiyi in the underworld.
“I knew you were a centipede.” As soon as Jiang Si finished speaking, she drew her Cold Light Sword.
If it's not human, things will be easier. She must catch this menace today.
Xiang Zhiyi suddenly looked pained. She glanced longingly behind Jiang Si, and then turned to look at Jiang Si with a look that could only be described as vicious.
She opened her mouth and mouthed the words.
Jiang Si could barely make out that it was the word "death".
Jiang Si scoffed, "You? Are you mute?"
Xiang Zhiyi suddenly rushed over at lightning speed, grabbed Jiang Si, and Jiang Si didn't react for a moment.
Is this a popular tactic in fights now?
Jiang Si pushed her away, and was about to curse when she saw Xiang Zhiyi glowing from the inside out, with crack-like lines appearing on her face. Xiang Zhiyi looked at Jiang Si with a miserable and resentful expression, and then forced a terrifying smile.
Holy crap!
Jiang Si cursed inwardly, pushed Xiang Zhiyi away with all her might, and quickly swam away into the distance.
Xiang Zhiyi is a madwoman; she actually dared to use the self-destruction tactic.
The self-destruction of the primordial spirit will be ten times greater than the power of the original body.
Xiang Zhiyi suddenly gained power from somewhere, and Jiang Si dared not gamble.
But it was too late for Jiang Si. Xiang Zhiyi's primordial spirit self-destructed, and its power spread throughout the entire Yellow Springs, even causing waves of one or two meters to rise on the surface of the Yellow Springs.
Jiang Si's last memory was feeling a sharp jolt in her chest, cursing, "Xiang Zhiyi, that idiot," before falling into a coma.
Han Yunluo, sitting on the boat, was so shaken by the waves that she almost couldn't sit still.
Fortunately, the old man was a skilled boatman and managed to keep the boat stable.
Han Yunluo looked at the churning Yellow Spring water and her heart sank to the bottom.
