She stood there, holding the silver sword in her hand, a hint of disdain on her face. When the person in front of her met her gaze, he felt a sudden panic, but when he thought about his own identity and the identity of the person standing in front of him, he coughed twice and quickly composed himself.
The ancient man in the courtyard smiled wickedly when he saw Xu Yuehuai barge in alone. "It seems your disciple cares about you quite a bit. Going to such a dangerous place all by yourself, knowing there are tigers in the mountains but still venturing into the tiger's den. The bond between you two is truly touching."
As he spoke, the ancient man shook his head twice, his eyes slightly narrowed, feigning composure. Zi Sangyi, standing beside him, felt only worry. He didn't want Xu Yuehuai to come looking for him; escaping was the most important thing. Only by living could there be hope. He desperately hoped Xu Yuehuai wouldn't be confused, but Xu Yuehuai couldn't hear his prayers.
Xu Yuehuai stood still, her eyes still carrying a threatening tone as she looked at the black hole. However, the black hole seemed completely unfazed by her provocation, instead shifting slightly as if trying to convey something else to her. Xu Yuehuai narrowed her eyes, a hint of threat in them.
She knew that this black hole was sentient. For something to remain so quiet here, there was only one possibility: it had an owner. And the black hole must have heard everything she had just said. "Let me see where I should cut you in half."
Xu Yuehuai spoke slowly, the hilt of the knife twirling in her hand before settling on a certain spot, looking incredibly eerie. The man in the black cloak thought she was talking to him, raised his sword, and was about to fight her to the death when he realized that Xu Yuehuai had no intention of paying him any attention, and her gaze was fixed on the black hole behind her.
The man in the black cloak turned to look at the black hole. They had been guarding this black hole for several days without knowing of its existence. However, even so, they didn't know what it was. He stared blankly as Xu Yuehuai communicated with the thing in front of him, a hint of confusion in his eyes. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
The black hole wobbled twice in the next second, startling the man in the black cloak, who took two steps to the side. This was the first time he had ever seen the black hole move, or rather, the first time he had ever seen this thing make any noise. He had been guarding it for so many days, and at most he felt that the wind was a bit stronger, but he really hadn't discovered anything else.
In his eyes, the black hole just swayed twice, but in Xu Yuehuai's eyes, it became a black shadow emerging from the black hole. In just a moment, the black shadow came to her. Xu Yuehuai showed no fear, but looked at the thing so close to her with slight dissatisfaction.
"Little man, this is fun, don't chop me up." The black thing actually opened its mouth and spoke, which surprised Xu Yuehuai.
Bai Ze and Yuan Shui, who were inside the space, saw this scene and both expressed the same question: "Lord Yuan Shui, can you tell what this thing is? Why is it so strange?"
Bai Ze felt that this was neither a spirit beast nor a spirit artifact. Could it be something born from heaven and earth? After having this thought, his eyes lit up and his mind opened up.
When he looked at Yuan Shui, he stared intently at the black energy, his fists clenched tightly. The next second, he gritted his teeth and said to Xu Yuehuai, "This is the thing that sealed me away back then. You killed him! Now, or you'll let me out and I'll come back to take my revenge!"
Xu Yuehuai was momentarily stunned. When she came to her senses and wanted to ask what was going on, Yuan Shui had already appeared in front of her. The black aura was clearly stunned when it saw Yuan Shui, not realizing what had happened. It circled Yuan Shui twice and said with some excitement and surprise, "You have my scent on you."
Yuan Shui gritted his teeth. After all these years, he still smelled of this bastard. What could be the reason? His eyes flashed with anger, and he clenched his fists at his sides, seemingly casually saying, "Because back then, you and those humans sealed me away! You ungrateful wretch, you're still alive and well in this world! When you sealed me away, you said you would never have the face to live again, so why are you still alive! Why don't you just die!"
Yuan Shui roared hysterically. The woman in the black cloak saw a man appear out of thin air, and this man was roaring at the air in front of him. She was a little confused. Could it be that something happened during this process that she and he did not know about? The pace was a little too fast.
The ancient man who was secretly watching this scene from behind the screen stood up the moment he saw Yuan Shui. His eyes were no longer indifferent, but serious and earnest, and they even shone with a light that was no different from a cat seeing a mouse.
"It's actually the Nine Cauldrons! After all these years, after being missing for so many years, I've finally found you. I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain this time." The man muttered to himself, his eyes filled with admiration for the Nine Cauldrons, which shone brightly.
Zisangyi, who was standing to the side, recognized the little guy. He had seen him before and was stunned when he came out. He was wondering when the little guy had grown from a child to such a big person, but he thought that the growth of a spirit was probably a little different from theirs.
However, he didn't understand what the ancient man beside him was saying. What did the Nine Cauldrons mean? He had been waiting for the Nine Cauldrons for many years. These words were full of eeriness.
"It seems your life isn't meant to end today. I was originally planning to kill you after you finished reading, so that this young girl would think her master wasn't dead. But you died when that dummy died. Do you think this young girl would feel guilty then? But now it seems I regret it. I don't want to kill you anymore. I'm going to take you to see that young girl and let her decide whether to choose the Nine Cauldrons or you." After the ancient man finished speaking, he began to laugh loudly, his eyes filled with a wildness.
Zi Sangyi saw a certain obsession in his eyes. He didn't understand where this man's obsession came from, so he frowned slightly, his eyes filled with confusion.
Zisangyi successfully climbed down from the pillar and fell to the ground. Her hands and feet were still bound, and she was unable to get up on her own.
