Some people tried to avoid it, and many were seriously injured. Of the hundreds who came in, less than 10% survived.
Seeing this, Linghu Zhou took out a treasure from the Linghu family, a small space that could provide them with a brief respite. Linghu Zhou and Cixi exchanged a glance, about to say something, when Ji Yue approached with a scroll in her hand, saying, "I currently only have one spatial scroll, and this scroll can only take one person away..."
This was specially prepared by the Ji family for Ji Yue, so that she could save her life in a critical moment. Linghu Zhou opened the barrier and let Ji Yue in. He glanced at Cixi, then at Xu Yuehuai, and said, "Take Xu Yuehuai out. She is the most seriously injured."
They were not about to betray their promises, and Xu Yuehuai saved their lives.
Xu Yuehuai regained some strength, sat down on the ground, took out several bottles of pills she had refined herself from her spatial storage, and swallowed them all in one go, as if they were free. This was the first time Linghu Zhou had ever seen Xu Yuehuai eat pills like this, and he was dumbfounded for a moment.
"No need, keep the space scroll for later. Today, I'll take you out!" Xu Yuehuai kept looking up while resting, but due to the falling rocks, not many people could see what secrets were above them.
It was the protection provided by Linghu Zhou's treasures that gave Xu Yuehuai the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
"I want to go out," Xu Yuehuai said to Linghuzhou, who was standing to the side.
After a slight hesitation, Linghu Zhou chose to trust Xu Yuehuai and opened the barrier.
As soon as Xu Yuehuai stepped outside, she felt the heat wave, followed by a cloud of yellow dust that made her face turn pale.
Xu Yuehuai consumed a lot of pills, and her spiritual power returned somewhat. She summoned her silver sword and charged straight towards the top. Yueying set up a barrier around them, keeping the five of them safe inside. Yueying also kept an eye on Xu Yuehuai, and when she saw Xu Yuehuai come out, her gaze subconsciously followed her.
In the blink of an eye, the surroundings suddenly turned into a white light. Linghu Zhou was worried about Xu Yuehuai and wanted to see what was happening, but after only two seconds, he couldn't bear it and closed his eyes, covering them with his hand.
A few seconds later, everyone opened their eyes again, only to find themselves surrounded by lush green mountains and clear waters. "I...I survived! I made it out!"
Someone watching all this exclaimed happily and jumped up and down on the spot.
After Xu Yuehuai came out, she leaned against a tree and slowly slid down. She planned to rest there for a while before setting off back home.
Meanwhile, Xu Yuehuai was arguing fiercely with Yuan Shui in her mind, "Didn't you say there was something here that would benefit me? Why have I been here for so many days, done all the work, and still haven't found anything?"
Yuan Shui bristled. It realized this when Xu Yuehuai came out, but his prophetic abilities could never be wrong!
"Well... why don't you just wait a little longer? Go to the North City or something for a stroll before going back. Since you're already here, you should at least take a look around." Yuan Shui seemed to think that what she said made a lot of sense.
After realizing they were out, Linghu Zhou and the others began searching for Xu Yuehuai's location. Linghu Zhou walked up to them excitedly and asked, "How did you know that was the exit?"
Xu Yuehuai chuckled and said, "The rocks above are all collapsing, but that one piece is the only one that doesn't seem to be affected at all. I have to thank your protective barrier for giving me the opportunity to see it."
Fewer than twenty people survived this time. Fearing another mishap, they turned and fled.
Xu Yuehuai had investigated the area and found nothing unusual. Linghu Zhou and the others wanted to take her back to Beicheng for a visit, but Xu Yuehuai refused, saying she wanted to heal her injuries here first.
Linghu Zhou and the others were to return to their families first to report the matter. The two groups parted ways. Before leaving, Ji Yue gave her spatial scroll to Xu Yuehuai, telling her to keep it safe and to come to the Ji family to find her if anything happened.
Ji Yue was sullen on her way back. She was a lively, flamboyant, and domineering person, but she represented not only herself, but also her family.
Cixi and Jiyue walked together. Noticing that Jiyue was in low spirits, Cixi said, "Alright, no one is blaming you. There are reasons why you couldn't take action. Don't blame yourself."
A hundred years ago, the Ji family was the most prominent family in Beicheng. However, as time went by, each generation of the Ji family had only one heir. At first, no one paid attention to this and thought it was just a coincidence.
Even now, the Ji family's fate of having only one son has not changed. In fact, many members of the Ji family have tried for most of their lives to have another child after their only child died.
From then on, the children of the Ji family became especially important, regardless of whether they were boys or girls.
Ji Yue is a child of the main branch of the Ji family, and all the hopes of the Ji family rest on her. If she dies, the Ji family will suffer a severe blow in Beicheng.
That's why Ji Yue has many things that can save her life.
She longed for the outside world and even wanted to explore it with Xu Yuehuai, but her life wasn't just her own; she carried the heavy responsibility of her entire family on her shoulders.
The reason for coming to the Great Power Tomb is that there is something inside that can break the curse on the Ji family. The Ji family sent many people to accompany Ji Yue to protect her and help her obtain that thing.
Unexpectedly, most of the Ji family members died in the first trial, and the rest perished in the second trial.
...
After everyone had left, Xu Yuehuai opened her eyes.
A well-dressed little boy stood beside him, his eyes fixed on one spot, filled with disdain.
"Little divine beast, why don't you come out and greet me!" The little boy unleashed his full power, which startled Bai Ze.
Bai Ze emerged from the shadows, looking respectfully at Yuan Shui, and then sizing up Xu Yuehuai.
During the time Xu Yuehuai was inside, he stayed outside as a watchman.
Xu Yuehuai spoke up, "Yuan Shui, stop putting on airs."
Yuan Shui glared angrily, gave a haughty snort, turned around and left, walking in the opposite direction from Bai Ze.
He came out this time to see where the things he predicted would be beneficial to Xu Yuehuai would appear.
Bai Ze looked at Xu Yuehuai with burning eyes, "Make a pact with me, I want to serve you alongside that lord!"
At this moment, Bai Ze showed no arrogance. In front of Yuan Shui, he was nothing more than a young beast. If his ancestor had come, perhaps he could have put up a fight against that great man.
Xu Yuehuai shook her head, "I don't have the money to support you."
Xu Yuehuai told the truth that she needed to buy medicinal herbs to make pills and talismans, and the academy had a special currency for these, so she was extremely poor.
