Chapter 42: The Strange Palace
Shen Shuyi couldn't help laughing, she didn't know why Lin Yu wanted to pretend to be a flower to welcome autumn? From childhood to adulthood, she has been in contact with all the families that Jiangnan can call the top, and those people have always cherished their feathers, cherished their reputation, and did not change their names or surnames. But here in Lin Yu it is an exception.
"It turned out to be the son of the Hua family, and Fang Zhi of the Jiangnan family below, and you have also fallen into the fog of the dandy?" Fang Zhi's voice came back again.
Although the Jiangnan family is not in Jiangnan City, it is also a first-class family in Jiangnan, and there is only one opportunity left for the Fang family to be able to enter Jiangnan City, maybe this time the realm of returning to the ruins is a good opportunity.
And Fang Zhi is the son of the head of the Fang family, his talent is not weak, and he has been a powerhouse in the Gathering Star Realm a long time ago. Several members of the Fang family were the first to enter the realm of returning to the ruins, and they were also the first to fall into the fog of this palace.
"Young Master Fang, what have you discovered?" Lin Yu asked loudly, this was the question he was most concerned about. The sound was in the depths of the palace, Fang Zhi and the others had already fallen into the red mist, although they did not encounter danger, but the few of them couldn't get out of this palace for a while!
"It hasn't developed yet, this fog is very strange, it can isolate divine thoughts, and it suddenly appears in the palace without any warning." Fang Zhi responded.
"The fog came out of nowhere." Lin Yu said in a low voice, "Let's go, let's go back first." ”
The three of them turned around and found that the way back had been blocked by the red mist, and when they couldn't see their five fingers, they could only use the spiritual power of the size range to explore the way.
"Follow in my footsteps." Lin Yu said.
"Did you make a note of your way back?" Shen Shuyi said, how could ordinary people remember the way in, this Lin Yu is really cautious and terrifying.
"Make a note of some, we're not far and should be able to get out."
The fog of the palace was getting thicker and thicker, and even the filth that was floating in the air could no longer be seen clearly. Lin Yu's feet couldn't help but speed up, the more he stayed in this place, the more unsettling he felt, he seemed to feel that the red mist that could not be dispersed around him could swallow the three of them at any time.
"Ah......h
Suddenly, screams rang out everywhere, and then calm returned in an instant, as if it had never happened.
"I knew something had happened to them." Ye Muge said.
"No, it's not just a matter of knowing their direction, there are other people here." Lin Yu's brows were furrowed, and his eyes had turned golden, defending his surroundings.
If someone else was there, why didn't they just say anything?
"Help! Save ......" another scream was heard, and the sound resounded through the palace. This time it was Fang Zhi's direction, and his voice was extremely poignant.
Lin Yu was silent, and led the two of them to walk back step by step according to the route in their memory. But after a long time, the three of them still did not find the exit of the red mist.
"Could it be that you are mistaken?" Shen Shuyi asked.
"No way, it was in this direction when we came in." Lin Yu looked at the broken wall in front of him, and there were countless traces of knives and axes on it, although it was broken, it went up to the top of the palace, and it was impossible to cross it at all. "It's just that we didn't have this wall when we came in."
"Bang."
Ye Muge drew his sword and slashed towards the wall, the sword light bloomed, and the spiritual power lingered, converging at the tip of the sword, and after a short gathering, it suddenly erupted, accompanied by countless sword qi bombarding a point on the wall.
After Ye Muge's long sword was broken before, when he returned to the Ye family, he replaced it again, which was still as ordinary and excessive.
The dust cleared, and the broken walls were undamaged, not even a single sword mark remained. Lin Yu knew how terrifying Ye Muge's sword was, if he was serious, he might be able to fight with the powerhouse of the Destiny Star Realm, but even Ye Muge's full force hit had no reaction, he could only say that this wall was too hard.
Then what a powerful cultivation the person who left those sword marks and claw marks on it!
The three of them walked along the wall, according to Lin Yu's thoughts, since they couldn't break out, there would always be an end to this palace.
There was still a lot of screaming on the other side of the palace, but gradually the sound grew weaker and weaker, until at last there was a dead silence in the palace, as it had been when they first entered.
Curiosity killed the cat!
Lin Yu hated the feeling of waiting for death to harvest at any time, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Now that the screams are gone, do you know that those people are all dead? Is it going to be the turn of the three of them?
The red mist that the golden eyes couldn't penetrate, and the divine thoughts couldn't extend the palace that was explored. In the realm of the ruins, why is there such a strange place? Is it not permissible for foreigners to enter, and once they enter, they will live and die?
"The fog is thick!" Ye Muge said suddenly, his divine thoughts had been enveloping the three of them, and he was holding the sword technique with both hands at the same time, and he was very well prepared.
"What?" Lin Yu asked.
"The fog around is a little thicker than before." Ye Muge said.
"No, it's always been this fog." Shen Shuyi said, she also observed her surroundings, but did not find any other special changes.
"Believe in the madrigal." Lin Yu said, although Lin Yu came to the same conclusion as Shen Shuyi, even his golden eyes did not distinguish anything unusual, but he chose to believe Ye Muge. "As a sword cultivator, many times the feeling of madrigal is more precise than that of other practitioners, because the most basic point of practicing kendo is precision."
The three of them continued to walk, the red mist still permeating their bodies, the air was so quiet and terrifying that everyone could only hear their own breathing.
Lin Yu walked in the front, Ye Muge was at the end, and Shen Shuyi in the middle was the most relaxed.
"If the Fang family wants to enter Jiangnan City, is it your Shen family that will be the first to replace?" Lin Yu asked. He knew all the information about the Jiangnan family, especially the four families and the two academies and those first-class families.
"Yes." Shen Shuyi said helplessly, although the Shen family still has the name of the first family, but in recent years, it can be seen from various signs that the Shen family is already at the end of the strong crossbow. Not to mention the Fang family, as long as other first-class families want to enter Jiangnan City, the first choice to replace them is the Shen family.
"If the Fang family really takes the Shen family, they won't be able to bargain."
"It's nature." Lin Yu didn't refute, even if the other three top families had to deal with the Shen family, it would not be so easy. Shen Mou is still there, and the Shen family is still there. However, the reason why he asked Shen Shuyi like this was that he already had a plan in his heart.
"If, Fang knew that they would stay in the realm of returning to the ruins from now on, would the Fang family be in pain?"
Shen Shuyi looked at Lin Yu in front of her, she seemed to understand what this man was thinking. However, now they can't even get out of this palace, and they haven't met anyone who knows it, so why would they suddenly make such a plan?
"Wait until I tell you what to do." As soon as Lin Yu finished saying this, a group of people appeared in front of the three of them, about three or five people, all of whom were dressed in the Fang family, and the person at the head was Fang Zhi of the Fang family.
No one would have thought that the three of them would meet Fang Zhi while walking, and it seemed that they also wanted to go back out of the palace, but they encountered the same result as Lin Yu and the others, and the way back was blocked.
Lin Yu and the others had been walking along the wall for a long time, but they had not reached the end, the only thing he could be sure of was that Fang Zhi did not find the original entrance, but just stumbled to the edge of the palace by mistake.
There were five people from the Fang family, all of whom were descendants of the Fang family, led by Fang Zhi, when they entered the palace, there was no fog, but when they found out about the abnormality, they were already trapped in the red mist.
"Ye Muge, Shen Shuyi?" Fang Zhi knew the people of the Ye family and the Shen family in Jiangnan City, and as for Lin Yu, he also had some impressions, when the Six Cities of Jiangnan family and the East China Sea Sect fought against the Zhou family together, Lin Yu was standing beside Ye Muge.
But Fang Zhi didn't know that it was Lin Yu in front of him who was pretending to be a flower just now.
"Fang Zhi, you are also trapped here?" Shen Shuyi said that she saw that one of the five members of the Fang family had his left hand broken off at the shoulder, and now he was still bleeding, and the scream before should have been made by this person with a broken arm.
"Well, this red mist is too weird, and after coming in, we can't find the way back." Although Fang Zhi was not familiar with Shen Shuyi, he still said that at this time they were grasshoppers on a line.
"How did he get this injury?" Lin Yu discovered Fang Zhi and the others one step earlier, so he asked Shen Shuyi those questions. However, he has now changed his mind.
Ever since he saw Fang Zhi and the others, Lin Yu's attention had always been on the man with the broken arm. It had been at least half an hour since the scream, but the blood from the shoulder-to-shoulder wound was still falling bit by bit. To say that Fang Zhi and the others did not heal him, Lin Yu definitely didn't believe it.
The only explanation is that Fang Zhi and a few people can't stop this blood flow at all.
"Let's go." Lin Yu said in a low voice, he felt a trace of danger, although his golden eyes couldn't see through it, behind the red mist, but in the near distance, Lin Yu could still find subtle changes in the mist.
Shen Shuyi was puzzled, didn't she just say that she wanted to leave Fang Zhi in the palace? Why the rush to leave now?
Without waiting for Shen Shuyi to think about it, Ye Muge had already followed, even if she didn't understand the intention, she could only follow in the footsteps of these two men.
In the strange eyes of Fang Zhi and the others, the three of them left quickly, he also didn't understand, even if the two sides didn't know each other before, didn't they have any plans to tide over the difficulties together?
After running for a long time, Lin Yu felt that this distance was far enough, so he stopped.
"Do you feel like the fog is lightening a bit?" Lin Yu asked Ye Muge, the naked eye alone could not distinguish the subtle differences.
Ye Muge felt it carefully before he spoke: "It's indeed a little lighter than before."
"What's going on?"
Lin Yu showed a smug look and explained: "When you said that the fog was thick before, I felt something abnormal, after all, only you can feel it, I believe in your intuition, too subtle changes will be deadly, but I can't find the reason."
"Until I saw the person in the Fang family's hands. His was still bleeding, if the scream just now was from Fang Zhi and those people, then his bleeding had not stopped for so long, this was not in line with the common sense of any cultivator, not to mention that the Fang family was a first-class family in Jiangnan. ”
"The girl in clothes also said just now, the Fang family has the strength to win the top family in Jiangnan, although the injury of the broken arm is serious, even if it can't be treated immediately, it shouldn't still be bleeding."
"What surprised me even more was that my eyes saw the fog thickening."
