Seeing this, Wan Ke stepped forward and used her sword to pry open the Goddess Qi's hand. Her palm had turned bright red, and she was tightly clutching a Soul-Devouring Nail. She looked at Tu Er and said, "Do you see that? If it weren't for the master killing her just now, you would be the one lying on the ground now."
"This...how could this be...?" Tu Er swallowed hard, still shaken. Hua, seeing Tu Er's belated realization, said irritably, "How could it not be? The facts are right in front of you."
After Hua finished speaking, she ignored him and turned back to Chu Yu's side, grabbing Chu Yu's large hand with some concern: "Chu Yu, are you alright?"
"Don't worry, Liao Liao, it's just a puppet. It won't hurt me." He said, gently stroking Hua's head.
"It's good that you're alright."
Tu Er finally realized his foolish behavior and walked back to Chu Yu embarrassedly, saying, "That...that Chu Yu..." After all, he was a prince and was a little embarrassed.
Seeing that Chu Yu had no reaction, Tu Er knew that he had just misunderstood Chu Yu. Although he was a little embarrassed, admitting his mistakes and correcting them was his style. Just as he was about to take a few steps forward to say something, he saw that the goddess Qi on the ground suddenly changed.
The goddess who was just an ice sculpture quickly turned into a puddle of water, leaving only a stone that shimmered with blue light.
"What is this?" Mo Qi bent down and picked up the stone from the ground. The stone lay quietly in Mo Qi's hand, emitting a faint blue light.
After taking turns looking at it, the group was still completely baffled. "If only Goddess Qi hadn't died, we could have asked her," Tu Er muttered to herself.
Seeing that Hua was looking over, he quickly explained, "Hua, I didn't mean anything by it. I just thought that if she were still here, we would at least have someone to ask questions. I'm not on her side."
Hua lazily withdrew his gaze, and Chu Yu, without looking at Tu Er, still said in a low voice, "I just took a quick look at Goddess Qi's condition while testing her. She is already dead. What we just saw was just a puppet."
Chu Yu took the stone Mo Qi handed him, saying, "Although a wisp of her soul remains within the puppet, her spirit has long been cursed by the mastermind behind it, and she won't utter a single word she shouldn't."
Chu Yu held the blue stone in his hand and pondered it for a long time before throwing it down the cliff without hesitation. A moment later, a crisp thud was heard, and a huge block of ice slowly rose from where the cliff had been. On the ice was an open door.
"What... what's going on here?" Hua looked at Tu Er, who was stunned beside her, and said helplessly, "Ordinary people would want to take back something of unknown origin, whether it's good or bad, to study it carefully, especially in this situation where there's no way forward, they would never choose to throw it away."
Hua said as she followed Chu Yu forward, then leaned close to him and whispered a compliment: "Chu Yu, you are so smart, the most amazing person in the world."
"So in Liao Liao's heart I'm just the most powerful person in the human realm?" Chu Yu teased Hua on purpose, grabbing Hua's hand as he spoke, pulling her close to protect her from any accidents.
"Of course not, Chu Yu, you are the most powerful in the Six Realms, no one can compare to you." Chu Yu was very pleased with the sincere praise.
As they spoke, the group arrived at the entrance on the ice. Chu Yu stepped inside without hesitation, followed closely by Mo Qi and Meng Qi, while Tu Er, supporting Yong Heng, followed behind Wan Ke.
