"It must be because of the blessing of the sacred tree that the ice here can exert its maximum effect. The colder the place, the better it is for storing things. So, the person behind the scenes must have chosen such a place to preserve something." Hua said, shaking the bell at the end of her hair.
The clear, crisp sound of bells echoed even more beautifully in the ice cave.
“I know what the person behind this wants to preserve. For something to be worth all this trouble, with such a grand gesture as the Divine Tree and the River of Oblivion, it must be very important!” Hua guessed, looking at Chu Yu and the other person in unison, “A corpse.”
"A corpse?!"
"A corpse?!"
“Yes, Hua is right. It’s very likely a corpse. I know why I felt something was off when I saw the River of Oblivion. This isn’t the real River of Oblivion. It’s just a handful of water drawn from the River of Oblivion and then manipulated by an array.” Tu Er said excitedly.
"Tu Er, are you sure this is an array? Such a massive array is not something an ordinary person can create." Mo Qi asked Tu Er. It wasn't that he didn't trust him, but the matter was of great importance and could not be taken lightly.
“I’m sure that when I was a child, there was a period when the demon race suffered heavy casualties and the demon realm was unable to handle it. My father went to the underworld to ask for a handful of water from the River of Oblivion, but it wasn’t this much, and our original intention was not to save them but to destroy them.”
At this moment, Wan Ke, who had been silent until now, stepped forward and said, "I also know about this matter, what he said is indeed true." Wan Ke continued, "But this formation is obviously different from the one set up by the Demon Lord and the others back then. The one set up by the Demon Lord and the others back then didn't seem to be this complicated."
The formation before them had changed so much that even though she and Tu Er had seen similar formations before, they didn't recognize it at first glance.
In the pause between their conversation, Chu Yu slowly summoned the Merciful Sword and, just as the Goddess Qi was about to raise her hand, slashed her neck with a single stroke. Chu Yu's action terrified the others.
Tu Er reacted the most, shouting, "Chu Yu, what are you doing? She was already pitiful enough being trapped here. She told me everything we asked her. Why did you suddenly kill her?"
Chu Yu looked at Tu Er with eyes colder than the ice in the cave, "Who gives you the right to speak to me like that?"
Chu Yu's gaze was truly frightening, and his words were indeed very hurtful. Tu Er said with an unhappy expression, "Yes, you are the supreme god, you can kill whomever you want, and you don't allow others to have a say! Since that's the case, I suppose you also look down on me, Tu Er, then I won't get in your way here!"
After Tu Er finished speaking, he turned to leave, but Hua plucked the strings of the Broken Illusion Qin and blocked his way. "Hua, are you going to stop me? I know you're on his side, but are you going to fight me for his sake?" Tu Er asked Hua with a hurt expression.
Hua Hua flew over directly, holding the Mercy Sword in her hand, and tapped Tu Er's head with the hilt of the sword. "Ouch, Hua Hua, what are you doing?" Tu Er said while rubbing her head.
"You old man, you still feel pain?" Hua Xiao said with a slight pout, "If it weren't for Chu Yu just now, you would have been badly injured even if you didn't die. And now you still don't appreciate my kindness."
Hua felt a headache coming on as she looked at Tu Er's still confused expression. What had he been doing for the past tens of thousands of years? Had he been in seclusion cultivating without ever going out to travel and explore?
