"Calm down!"
However, Shen Yunhao showed no sign of panic in the face of the fierce attack.
He took out the finger bone, and a wisp of spiritual energy seeped into it.
"Ouch!"
The girl who was wielding a greatsword seemed to have her magic power suddenly withdrawn. Halfway there, she fell to the ground with a "thud," landing face-first in the mud.
The Ice Soul Sword also clattered to the ground, becoming difficult to hold.
"Oh no... I have no strength left... How could this happen!"
The girl looked up sadly, her face covered in ash.
Mo Yan looked at this scene with some surprise: "How...how did you do that?"
"Naturally, it's a backup plan left behind by Han Xiaozi..."
Shen Yunhao put away the finger bone, a playful look on his face. "Since that senior sealed you here, how could he not have prepared other backup plans?"
Shuang'er's eyes were filled with disbelief: "Impossible... He clearly already..."
"Already dead?" Shen Yunhao squatted down to look her in the eye. "But he anticipated that you would be unwilling to accept this, so he sealed a restriction in this finger bone. As long as you are within the secret realm, it can suppress your power!"
Shuang'er bit her lower lip, her icy blue eyes welling up with tears: "That wretched old man... He's been dead for so long and he's still causing me trouble! You despicable human! You actually tried to ambush me!"
"Same to you!" Shen Yunhao stood up. "You pretended to be Han Xiaozi to lure us into this trap, wasn't it also to use us to find the remains?"
Silence fell over the stone chamber, with only Shuang'er's rapid breathing echoing in the air. After a long while, she raised her head and asked, "What exactly do you want?"
"I'll say it again!" Shen Yunhao smiled. "Keep your promise and hand over Kong Huan!"
Shuang'er's expression froze: "I...I also..."
"Don't play dumb!" Shen Yunhao said expressionlessly. "If you don't know, how can you use the power of Void Illusion?"
"..."
"All I want to do now is complete the deal between us. If it were anyone else, they would have killed you and taken Konghuan by force long ago. Why would they be talking to you about these things?"
"Tch!" The young girl Shuang'er sneered, "Even with the methods left behind by that old man, you still can't kill me!"
"???"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhao suddenly frowned.
The girl seemed to realize she had said something wrong and immediately corrected herself, saying, "Even if you beat me to death, you still won't be able to find Konghuan. Give up!"
"Alright then, in that case, we'll take this and leave. You can continue guarding your father's grave here... well, there's not much left to guard, just some debris..."
"Damn it, you're not getting away! Hand over the stuff!"
Just then, a cold glint flashed in Shuang'er's eyes, and she suddenly raised her hand and threw out an ice crystal, which shot towards Shen Yunhao!
"Huh! It can actually use magic?"
Shen Yunhao let out a soft exclamation and slightly twisted his body to dodge the "slow" ice crystal shot.
"But you're too slow. Who are you planning to target?"
"Yeah?"
Unexpectedly, the girl immediately revealed a triumphant smile, "Hahaha! Fool! You've fallen for my trick!"
"Have you fallen for their trap?"
"boom--!"
Before Shen Yunhao could react, the stone slab beneath their feet suddenly collapsed, and Shen Yunhao and Mo Yan were caught off guard and fell directly into the darkness!
"What!"
Mo Yan cried out in surprise, and the vines quickly stretched out, grabbing Shen Yunhao's body. At the same time, she used her flying ability to try to fly back up.
The next second, his face turned pale.
You can't even fly here!
The girl above chuckled, raised her hand, and the ice crystals on the wall fell down, causing the stone slabs on the ground to rejoin, completely trapping the two of them underneath.
"Hmph! You mere human dare to threaten me?"
Shuang'er proudly raised her chin and reached out to touch her chest, where the spiritual energy was still being suppressed, but at least temporarily freed from Shen Yunhao's control.
She looked down at the sealed entrance and sneered, "You can all stay down there and wait until I find a way to break the seal before I deal with you!"
However, just as she turned to leave, a slight tremor suddenly came from the ice beneath her feet.
"Hmm?" Shuang'er frowned and looked down.
Something's not right!
There seems to be something beneath this mechanism?
At the same time, Shen Yunhao and Mo Yan fell into a dark space.
"Bang!"
Shen Yunhao fell onto the cold stone surface, wincing in pain, while Mo Yan lightly stood up on her toes, looking around warily.
After looking around, he found that it was just an ordinary secret room with no other dangers, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Are you alright?
"fine……"
Shen Yunhao rubbed his sore shoulders, looked up, and found that the entrance had been completely sealed off. He gritted his teeth in hatred: "That girl, once I get out of here, I'll definitely make her pay!"
Mo Yan said irritably, "Serves you right! Can't you change this attitude of treating everyone as both friend and foe? This is someone else's territory, after all. You could easily lose your life if you get tricked!"
Shen Yunhao gave a helpless, bitter smile.
He knew that Mo Yan meant to kill her, to beat the little girl to a pulp.
But to be honest, firstly, Shen Yunhao didn't want to go too far, since he needed her to find Kong Huan.
Secondly, regarding the girl's statement that...no one can kill her, Shen Yunhao felt that it was highly true, especially considering her status as an adopted daughter, which seemed rather strange no matter how you looked at it.
Shen Yunhao did not refute, stood up, dusted himself off, and looked around.
This is a small stone chamber, with ancient runes carved all around the walls.
Apart from the overhead passage, there seemed to be no other exit.
"What do we do now? There seems to be some kind of restriction here, preventing us from using our flight abilities..."
Mo Yan stepped forward and patted the stone wall. "This is the material used for the castle walls. With my current strength, there's no way I can break through it! We're completely trapped here!"
After thinking for a moment, Shen Yunhao suddenly said, "Can you let the vines extend up? As long as there are vines to climb up, we can climb up along the vines and maybe we'll have a chance."
After thinking for a moment, Mo Yan stretched out a wisteria vine, which, like a climbing vine, began to climb up the stone wall.
After a long while, Mo Yan shook her head.
"It can't be opened. Even if we go up, we can't open the stone door..."
"Damn it! We're done for! That bastard!"
As he spoke, Shen Yunhao took out the finger bone and continuously poured spiritual energy into it.
However, this can only be considered as Shen Yunhao venting his anger.
The effect of the finger bone restriction is only to deprive Shuang'er of her spiritual energy; it cannot pose any real threat to her.
"etc!"
Just as Shen Yunhao was feeling dejected, Mo Yan suddenly frowned.
"What's this?"
Shen Yunhao was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to follow Mo Yan's gaze.
Suddenly, the ancient runes on the wall behind them began to flicker, as if... they had received some kind of signal!
