During the time that Sheng Ning and his group spent in the secluded paradise, things had already fallen into chaos at the top.
When they used the so-called "Four Treasures of the Study" to open the passage to the underground, golden light shot into the sky. It was nighttime, which attracted most of the cultivators who had entered the secret realm.
Where there are many people, there will be conflicts.
Qi Wenyao and Kong Wu were among the middle group who entered the underground passage.
The sign at the entrance of the passage that read "Tai Xu Sect and Dogs" had long been trampled underfoot by cultivators from all walks of life.
After seeing the empty space, he bent down, lifted it up, and then replanted it in the soil.
"Master Kongwu even put a barrier on that talisman, so it probably won't be knocked over again."
When Qi Wenyao said this, his expression was somewhat indescribable.
He looked up at Kongwu, who clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist prayer to him.
"It is all what this humble monk should do."
Yu Ye, who wrote that talisman at the entrance, said, "...Master, you're a really nice person."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning couldn't help but smile. She glanced at Kong Wu, then turned her gaze to Qi Wenyao, "And then?"
"And then..."
Qi Wenyao turned his head to look at the dark hole in the sky.
The number of cultivators in the Northern Region is not much more than that on the mainland, but the people of the Northern Region are fierce and tough. Most of the cultivators on the mainland are young masters and ladies from noble families, and they are not very resistant to fighting.
After Qi Wenyao entered the underground passage with Kong Wu, he saw corpses everywhere under his feet.
"Everyone wants to obtain the totem and become the savior, but no one knows if they are destined to become that savior."
Qi Wenyao abandoned his usual carefree smile, and a serious expression appeared on his face.
When he was the young master of the Qi family, he had witnessed a lot of killing.
However, the mutual killing among his comrades still left a shadow in his heart.
Seeing the heavy expression on his face, Sheng Ning stepped forward and smiled slightly at him, "I didn't expect that Young Master Qi would also have thoughts of worrying about the country and the people. I thought Young Master Qi only knew how to eat, drink and have fun."
Knowing it was a joke, meant to help him out of his heavy mood, Qi Wenyao still turned around and glared at her, "I didn't!"
As the young master of the Qi family, especially with his parents' distinguished status, he was different from other children from a young age.
Clenching his fists, Qi Wenyao said in a deep voice, "When will Fellow Daoist Sheng set off? We need to find the totem faster than those people and stop them from continuing to kill each other."
“We can leave at any time,” Sheng Ning was already prepared and ready to depart at any moment. “However, does Young Master Qi mean that he wants to obtain the totem as soon as possible and become the savior?”
"Of course not," Qi Wenyao shook his head without thinking. "My father said that after we come to the secret realm, everything will be done according to your wishes."
However, the teleportation array did not bring them together.
Earlier, he was still thinking about searching for Sheng Ning everywhere, but the secret realm was full of dangers. All he did along the way was look for people and avoid dangers.
After a period of time, I lost a lot of weight.
Fortunately, perseverance pays off, and he unexpectedly fell into a deep pit and met Sheng Ning.
With the weight lifted from his heart, Qi Wenyao directly explained the reason for entering the secret realm: "My father told me to protect you."
Yu Ye, standing to the side, frowned upon hearing this. "My junior sister will naturally be protected by us senior brothers. If you want to protect her, then you'd better go to the back of the line."
Seeing that they would be chatting until very late if they continued, Su Daiyuan quickly stepped forward and told everyone to get ready to leave.
On the contrary, after witnessing everything that had just happened, Xianying turned her head to look at Qin Chuan beside her and asked, "Is this Sheng Ning really as remarkable as you all say?"
He hadn't said a word.
I witnessed firsthand how Sheng Ning was surrounded by a large entourage and how popular she was.
Even that monk at the Nascent Soul stage treated her very differently.
How can a child who has just entered the Nascent Soul stage be so popular?
Qin Chuan nodded slightly after hearing his words, "She is a variable."
It is the variable in that storybook.
It is also a variable in this world.
Qin Chuan's answer was the same as no answer to Xian Ying.
Hearing Qin Chuan's answer only confused him further, making him even more suspicious of Sheng Ning's true identity.
However, now is not the best time to resolve these questions.
Sheng Ning had already followed Su Daiyuan and the others, and the group flew towards the gaping hole in the sky.
-
All around was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
Sheng Ning had just jumped off the Eight-Star Kunwu Sword when his heel slipped and he nearly fell backward.
Fortunately, someone bumped into her from behind, preventing her from falling.
Qi Wenyao, who had just flown up and hadn't even gotten his footing yet, immediately covered his head and cried out "Ouch!"
"Who throws trash into the hole? Don't they have any sense of public decency?! My head is killing me!"
"Sorry, I failed to gain a foothold." Sheng Ning, the "trash," said, "I apologize."
As Qi Wenyao said, he said he and Kong Wu wandered around underground for several days without finding a solution.
Surrounded by darkness, Sheng Ning looked around, and finally opened her palm, from which a wisp of eerie blue flame leaped.
"Ugh, back in this godforsaken place again."
Ye Si jumped onto Sheng Ning's shoulder on its own, the entire dark blue fireball bouncing around lively.
Others were already used to it, but Qi Wenyao's eyes widened in astonishment.
"Fellow Daoist Sheng, your fire can speak!"
When Ye Si looked in the direction of the sound, he saw Qi Wenyao's unfamiliar face filled with shock.
He scoffed and said dismissively, "You've never seen anything like it. So what if a fireball can talk?"
The response was that Sheng Ning lightly patted the fireball twice, "Go scout ahead."
Sheng Ning and his group fell into the 'Shangri-La' while walking down a downward passage.
Now they have arrived at a new place, where there are no ghost spiders or stone spheres.
All that exists is endless darkness.
At this moment, Guan Yunchuan also summoned the Crimson Lotus Flame, "Fellow Daoist Qi, did you enter this place at this time?"
Qi Wenyao recounted how he and Kong Wu were chased by other crazed cultivators, how he dragged Kong Wu around aimlessly, and how they eventually ended up here.
Guan Yunchuan's eyes twitched as he listened. "Master Kongwu, thank you for your hard work."
Kongwu simply recited a Buddhist chant without responding.
After Sheng Ning and Guan Yunchuan took a look ahead with fireballs in their hands, the two senior and junior disciples realized with surprise that they were in a tomb.
The spot where she just detonated was right in the center of the tomb.
If the meteor bomb had been just a little more powerful, the stone coffin next to it would have been blown to pieces.
Standing in front of the only stone coffin in the tomb, Sheng Ning's small face scrunched up in a frown. "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to."
"Um, do you have a memorial tablet? If you do, can I take you back and enshrine you, and burn incense and chant scriptures for you every day?"
Who knew her predictive abilities were so accurate?
One shot almost blew up someone's coffin; I wonder if it disturbed the old man/woman.
