Chapter 53: The Mysterious Tunnel
After galloping all the way, Xing Yu and the others finally stayed away from that battlefield, as for the results of the disciples of the Luohua Hall and the Kaishan Sect who stayed there, it was not something they wanted to worry about.
In other words, Xing Yu and the others were happy to see that those people did not succeed in escaping in the end.
In this ruin, the people of the Luohua Hall and the Kaishan Sect led by Hua Xuanyu and Zhou Shuang are their biggest competitors, and the loss of competitors is equivalent to the improvement of their own strength.
After a fierce battle just now, and a period of speed, everyone was a little tired physically, and the leader of the beast gate suddenly stopped at this time.
"Sun Song, go back and see if those things are coming. β
One person in the crowd agreed, and immediately went in the direction behind him, and the others also stopped when they saw this, waiting for Sun Song to come back from inquiring about the news.
After a while, the Beast Sect disciple named Sun Song rushed back, and said with some breath: "Those things are not chasing, we are safe for the time being." β
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and at this time, the Beast Gate Martial Artist who had asked Sun Song to inquire about the news came to Xingyu and bowed his hand, thanking him for helping everyone out of the siege.
"Your Excellency is the Xingyu of Feiyun Valley, I am Jiang Cheng of the Beast Gate, thank you for your rescue, I have recorded this kindness in the Beast Gate. β
Xingyu also saluted: "Brother Jiang is polite, but he happened to be passing by, and besides, there are also my companions among them, so I should help out." β
At this time, Li Yutong also came over, and she asked Jiang Cheng, "I don't know what Brother Jiang is going to do next?"
"Next, I will go to Senior Brother Xia Tong and join him. β
Xia Tong is the core disciple of the Beast Sect who is responsible for leading the team this time, and his strength is also good, ranking ninth among the disciples of these second-grade forces, and he is also the top ten young talents.
"We also have to find our companions first, it's too dangerous to go it alone in a place like this. β
"In that case, let's leave it at that, and we'll see a date later. β
After Jiang Cheng left with a few disciples of the Beast Sect, only Xingyu, Li Yutong, Liuyue and four disciples of the Aoki Sect were left here.
Li Yutong thought for a moment and said to one of the disciples of the Aoki Sect, "Yang Hui, what should you do next?
Yang Hui glanced at Li Yutong and the others, pondered for a moment, and then said, "We also want to find Senior Brother Mu Yan." β
In fact, Yang Hui didn't tell Li Yutong his true thoughts, there should be a lot of opportunities left behind in this ruin, if he was with Li Yutong and the three of them, he couldn't say that he wanted to share it with them.
Although the four of them are inferior to Li Yutong in terms of personal combat strength, they are better than Li Yutong and the three of them, and their overall strength is more than that of Li Yutong and the three, after all, there is a Xingyu who only has a soul refining realm on the side of Feiyun Valley.
Although Xing Yu appeared in time to rescue them just now, in Yang Hui's opinion, it was just opportunistic, relying on his own strength at all.
In this case, he felt that since his side was stronger than the other party, he was unwilling to let Li Yutong and the others get a piece of the pie, although the two were alliances, but in his opinion, this kind of alliance would not attack each other at most, and they would join forces against the enemy in case of danger.
In the face of interests, at least he Yang Hui can't share it with outsiders.
Li Yutong didn't care about Yang Hui's words, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I hope you can find Muyan as soon as possible, and let's leave it at that." β
Yang Hui touched his nose, as if he was a little weak-hearted, but he still beckoned the companions of the Aoki Sect to leave here together.
Now, only the three of Xingyu remain.
Seeing that the people from the other forces had already left, Xing Yu walked up to Li Yutong and asked, "Senior Sister Li, I don't know what happened. β
Li Yutong smiled: "If you don't understand something, just say it, everyone is not an outsider." β
Obviously, after what happened just now, Li Yutong has recognized Xingyu's role on his side.
"After we enter the entrance, we will all be teleported to different places and scattered with each other, why did you get together with these people from the Aoki Sect, the Beast Gate, and even the Falling Flower Hall when I met you?"
Speaking of this, Li Yutong's face changed, and he looked angry.
"When we entered here, we were indeed scattered in different locations in this wasteland, and I chose a random direction without a purpose, but not long after I left, I happened to meet a disciple of the Aoki Sect, who said that he had found a treasure inherited from ancient times near that hill. β
"So you're over?" Xing Yu laughed.
Li Yutong nodded: "Many people were attracted by this news, but after that, they found out that the so-called strange treasures are nothing at all, and what awaits us are those strange creatures that look like meat balls." β
Liuyue on the side also nodded and said, "I was also attracted by this news." β
Xing Yu frowned when he heard this: "How did this news come out? It stands to reason that everyone has been teleported to different places, even if there is anything discovered, it is impossible for so many people to know." β
Li Yutong shook his head and said: "I don't know who sent the news, but the person who released this fake news must not be simple, I think it is very likely to be Hua Xuanyu." β
Xing Yu pondered for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be Hua Xuanyu, if it's really him, there is no reason why even the people of their own sect will be surrounded there." β
Maybe those people are trying to hide it so that we can believe it. Li Yutong said disdainfully.
Xing Yu thought about it for a while, but still felt that things were not so simple.
"Hey, what do you want, we have to hurry next, and we must meet the people of Feiyun Valley as soon as possible. β
Li Yutong pulled Xingyu, who was lost in thought, back to reality, she didn't want to waste time here, and she always felt that it was not very safe here.
"Do you know where to find them?" Xing Yu asked.
This question really stopped Li Yutong: "Uh...... I don't know. β
Xing Yu shrugged his shoulders: "Then what are you doing in such a hurry, at least you have to determine a direction first." β
Li Yutong glanced at Xingyu strangely: "Aren't you worried about your fiancΓ©e at all? She also entered the ruins, but now her whereabouts are unknown." β
Xingyu was a little helpless, she and Ning Pingyue had no relationship at all, and the marriage contract was completely a dead letter, but he couldn't tell everyone the truth, and only he knew the bitterness in his heart.
"I shouldn't have agreed to her request if I had known. β
At the beginning, she agreed to her request entirely because Ning Pingyue said that she could help him solve the power of backlash in the Xuanhuo Fan, but now that the Nine Turns of Flame Demon in the Xuanhuo Fan has been resealed, the power of backlash has been removed, and the agreement between him and Ning Pingyue can be ended.
But when the Nine Turns of the Flame Demon seized the house, thanks to Ning Pingyue's help, Ning Pingyue did not mention the dissolution of the marriage contract with herself after that, Xing Yu, as a man, if he took the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract, it would not be good for Ning Pingyue's reputation if it was passed out.
So this matter has been put on hold, but in this way, Xing Yu often heard that someone had proposed a marriage contract to him, it was Zhuo Qing before, but now even Li Yutong took the initiative to mention it.
"This matter is urgent, we have to think long-term. Xingyu argued.
"Then are you leaving?" Li Yutong said impatiently.
"You decide, you are our leader, and I will listen to you. Xing Yu said with a smile.
Li Yutong was stunned for a moment, then snorted, chose a direction, strode away, Xingyu and Liuyue glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed.
The three of them hurried for nearly three hours, and it stands to reason that it should have been completely dark at this time, but the sky above them was still red, and there seemed to be no difference between day and night in this world.
"The rules of this space are so strange, first there were strange creatures, and now there is not even day or night. β
Li Yutong, who was walking in front, looked up at the sky and said with emotion.
And Xing Yu also had the same idea as Li Yutong, and when Xing Yu also looked up at the sky, he suddenly heard an exclamation, and the sound was made by Li Yutong.
Xing Yu and Liuyue hurriedly looked forward, and found that a large pit had collapsed on the ground a few steps in front of them, and Li Yutong should have accidentally fallen into the pit.
Xingyu and the two hurriedly ran to the edge of the big pit, looked down, and shouted at the same time, "Senior Sister Li, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I just stepped on it, but I didn't expect the ground to collapse. β
Hearing Li Yutong's response, the two immediately put their minds at ease, this big pit is very deep, it is dark inside, and the situation in the pit cannot be seen from above, Li Yutong is only a sense of realm cultivation, and he can't fly in the sky, so it is difficult to come out of such a deep pit.
Just as the two were discussing how to rescue Li Yutong from the bottom of the pit, Li Yutong below suddenly shouted loudly to Xingyu and the others.
"I found a passage underneath, with a bright light at the end, and both sides of the passage were inlaid with all kinds of illuminating spirit stones. β
Xingyu was very surprised, but he didn't expect Li Yutong to have an unexpected gain from this fall.
"Come down, I feel a strong aura fluctuation coming from the other side of the passage, these aura are not from the martial artist, they are all naturally formed aura!"
Xing Yu and Liuyue glanced at each other, and a thought immediately appeared in the minds of the two of them: "There must be a man-made ruin below, maybe there is some strange treasure hidden in it." β
"Shall we go down?" asked Liuyue as she looked at Xingyu with some uncertainty.
Xing Yu nodded and said, "Go down, Senior Sister Li is still below, besides, there should be a ruin below, we can just go in and explore." β
At this time, Li Yutong below urged again: "Come down quickly, this should be a cemetery, maybe it is the cave left by some predecessor after feathering." β
Hearing this, Xingyu and the two no longer hesitated, jumped and jumped down.
From the ground to the bottom of the pit, it was only about ten meters high, and the two of them landed firmly on the ground because they were prepared, and Li Yutong was standing not far away at this time, facing the entrance of a passage.
Seeing Xing Yu and the two jumping down, Li Yutong hurriedly beckoned: "Come here, there is a very strong aura coming from the other side of this passage, just by cultivating here, the speed of our realm improvement is much faster than outside." β
Xing Yu and Liuyue hurriedly ran to Li Yutong, standing at the entrance of the passage, Xing Yu found that the walls on both sides of this passage were indeed inlaid with all kinds of spirit stones, although the colors were different, they all emitted a bright light, and it seemed that the grade of these spirit stones was very high.
"To go in or not to enter?" Li Yutong looked at the two of them.
"Now that we've come down and found such a place, there's no reason why we shouldn't go in and explore, isn't it just to look for an opportunity when we enter the ruins this time? β
Li Yutong and Liuyue thought for a while, and found that what Xingyu said was indeed reasonable, so they made up their minds and prepared to go in to find out.
"I'll go in first, and you will follow me, don't get too far from me. β
As the most powerful person among the three, Li Yutong bore the brunt of the passage, followed by Xingyu and Liuyue.
After entering the passage, the three of them found that the passage was even longer than it looked at the entrance, and the other end of the passage was filled with white light, which made the three of them conclude that this passage had an end, and since it could shoot bright light, it meant that the passage must be straight.
"Look, there's a painting carved on the wall!" Liuyue, who was walking on the right, suddenly shouted.
Xing Yu and Li Yutong immediately looked at the wall on the right, and found that there were indeed murals carved on the wall.
The contents of these murals he had seen before were exactly the same as the drawings on the jade slips that he had exchanged before, which recorded the nameless martial arts.
The mural also depicts a floating fire man, the ground burning beneath his feet, and all kinds of creatures that have never been seen in the fire are struggling, but the content of the painting here is much richer than that on the jade slip.
The creatures in the fire were strangely shaped, and even humanoids with wings on their backs and horns on their heads, and Xingyu even saw the kind of spherical creatures with tentacles they had encountered before.
Xing Yu frowned, he took a few steps forward, and then found that the wall on his side was also carved with murals, depicting the scene of the fire man fighting those strange creatures.
Seeing Xingyu's reaction, Li Yutong asked, "What's the matter? Have you seen these murals?"
Xing Yu shook his head and said, "No, I'm just curious, these murals may depict the deeds of the owner of this ruin." β
Li Yutong didn't doubt him, nodded and said, "I think so, let's hurry up and get to the other end of the passage as soon as possible, maybe there will be new discoveries there." β
The three of them set off immediately, but Xing Yu was already thinking about something deeper in his heart at this time.
"Could this ruin have something to do with the Burning Man? Who the hell is the Burning Man? Maybe here, I can find a way to awaken him. β
With this thought, Xing Yu even sped up his pace a lot.
