The cave was pitch black.
Even though Sheng Ning was still holding a torch, and Su Daiyuan and the others were quite skilled, they still couldn't see clearly what was happening inside the cave.
It was as if a thick black fog had obscured their eyes.
No matter how wide they opened their eyes or reached out to try to dispel the black mist in front of them, they could not clear away the darkness.
"The totem is hidden here?"
All around were stone walls, with only a road ahead that was obscured from view.
Lu Qing'an impatiently waved away the black mist in front of him again, his furrowed brows never easing since entering the cave.
Sheng Ning turned her head to look at Ye Si, who immediately said that he didn't know either.
"You know, although I've been in this godforsaken place for hundreds or thousands of years, I've always been imprisoned in that cave."
"If you hadn't robbed me, I might still be in the cave right now."
When Ye Si first appeared before everyone, he not only startled Su Daiyuan, who arrived late, but also gave the Dingtian Sect members quite a fright.
After hearing what Ye Si said, Xie Wenxuan couldn't help but lean closer to Sheng Ning and whisper a question to her.
"Fellow Daoist Sheng, where did you pick up this ghost? He said he's been here for hundreds or thousands of years, is that true?"
Sheng Ning nodded. "I also dragged out his remains. Would you like to see them too?"
Xie Wenxuan paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "There's no need to be so polite."
Remains and such.
Although it is not uncommon in the cultivation world.
But it's always impolite to look at someone's remains without permission... right?
"But is the reason he's been able to stay here for so long because he didn't have time to leave after the secret realm closed back then?"
The opening and closing times of the Northern Secret Realm are unpredictable.
Sheng Ning could easily pick up a ghost in the secret realm.
This was the only answer Xie Wenxuan could think of.
Ye Si must be one of those who entered the Northern Secret Realm back then but failed to leave.
As a result, he died in the secret realm for some reason and eventually became a wandering ghost. This time, he was lucky and ran into Sheng Ning.
"Do you plan to take his remains back to his hometown for burial?"
"Sheng Ning, you're actually a pretty nice person!"
Sheng Ning hadn't expected Xie Wenxuan to have such a vivid imagination.
She turned around and glanced at Ye Si, who was groping and touching things around, taking advantage of the will-o'-the-wisp around him.
When she turned back, she shook her head. "No."
"Not what?" Xie Wenxuan asked, puzzled.
“I’m not a good person,” Sheng Ning raised her head and looked him in the eye, then smiled, “because he gave me the Four-Sided Inkstone and a lot of rare and precious treasures.”
"That's why I agreed to release him."
Xie Wenxuan, who thought Sheng Ning was a good person: ...
"Haha, you're... pretty cunning, huh?"
"Thank you for the compliment." Sheng Ning smiled slightly at him.
Xie Wenxuan also wanted to ask her about Ye Si's identity.
After all, he had never seen an evil spirit that could bring its own ghost fire.
Just as he parted his lips, a loud boom suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
The rumbling sound came from behind.
Hearing the rumbling sound approaching from afar, and with great force, everyone turned their heads and saw a huge stone ball rolling towards them from behind.
Because they had been going downhill the whole way, the stone ball rolled down very fast.
"Oh my god! Who triggered the mechanism?!"
Xie Wenxuan cried out in alarm, then without thinking, he grabbed the person next to him and started running forward, "What are you still standing there for? Are you waiting to die!"
Without waiting for anyone to keep up, he ran forward as fast as he could.
Sheng Ning, who was behind him, was pulled along for a while and almost fell to the ground.
"Xie Wenxuan, calm down."
Xie Wenxuan was still cursing under his breath.
When he realized that the person he had pulled was Sheng Ning, and that the other party was telling him to calm down, he exclaimed, "How am I supposed to calm down?"
"Sheng Ning, if this thing rolls over me, it could flatten me into a meat patty!"
Sheng Ning turned around and glanced at the perfectly round stone sphere behind him, saying helplessly, "I can blow it up."
Xie Wenxuan didn't react at first.
After running for a while with the person next to him, he realized who he had pulled.
This is Sheng Ning.
It's the leader of the Invincible Sect!
He suddenly stopped, pulled Sheng Ning to stand at attention, and gestured for him to come forward, saying, "Boss Sheng, please."
Sheng Ning was facing the stone ball rolling towards her when she heard Xie Wenxuan's words, and her eyes twitched for a moment.
She pulled out a laser cannon from her consciousness space, and the five members of the Invincible Sect, including Su Daiyuan, who had run with her, also pulled out their laser cannons at the same time.
The six students aimed their cannons at the giant stone sphere and simultaneously fired lasers.
The sound of the stone ball exploding was much louder than the rumble of it rolling down.
Only when the smoke and dust cleared did everyone open their eyes.
Sheng Ning glanced down at the stones that had fallen to her feet, and when she looked up again, she saw a hand, crushed into a piece of paper, emerging from behind the shattered stone sphere.
"Sheng Ning, save me..."
Ye Si didn't know when he had fallen behind.
When Sheng Ning saw that his whole body was glowing with ghostly blue flames and that his entire body had been rolled into thin sheets by the stone ball, she couldn't help but smile slightly.
She stepped forward, easily pinched the thin sheet with one hand, and pulled him out from behind the stone ball.
Are you alright?
Ye Si glanced at her and chuckled, "I'm fine... yeah right."
In the instant he was pressed down, he almost thought his soul was lost.
Fortunately, he was protected by the Netherworld Fire, which prevented him from dying in the cave.
Sheng Ning asked him if he could still walk.
The latter, with a thin sheet of paper on its head, took two steps forward.
Then they saw that wisp of blue soul 'thud' onto the ground.
Upon seeing this, Sheng Ning went to help him up, intending to take him into her spiritual root so that he could recover properly.
Before she could go forward, Xie Wenxuan ran up to her, rolled up Ye Si's thin body into a cylinder, and lifted it up.
Hey! A natural torch!
Although I know Xie Wenxuan isn't very bright.
But seeing him roll up Ye Si's soul and use it as a torch, Sheng Ning couldn't help but rub his forehead in exasperation.
Ignoring Ye Si's cursing, Xie Wenxuan ran to his fellow disciples and, after confirming that they were all unharmed,...
He pointed to the road ahead, "Boss Sheng, there's a fork in the road here!"
Sheng Ning felt increasingly troubled by Xie Wenxuan's constant address of "Boss Sheng".
Just as she was about to step forward to investigate the fork in the road, the little worm that had been hiding in her arms poked its head out again.
"Mother, Father, Father is over there!"
"Holy crap! Sheng Ning, you actually gave birth to an earthworm!"
