2046 No Way Out
Rong Xiu narrowed his eyes. “You mean… the sound from inside?”
Chu Liuyue nodded. It seems that he has heard it too.
“It’s like something exploded…” She mumbled, but she wasn’t sure. Perhaps someone is fighting. After all, everyone who enters Messy Stone Forest is after Tang Ke’s tomb. They are competitors, so it is normal for them to fight each other.
Rong Xiu glanced inside.
!!Standing here, one could only see the huge rocks and not the scenery inside. No one could say for sure what exactly happened.
“We’ll know when we go in,” Rong Xiu said.
Chu Liuyue nodded. “Then, let’s go in too.”
As she spoke, she was about to step forward.
“Hold on.” Rong Xiu suddenly called out to her, then walked forward and held her hand. “Messy Stone Forest is rife with danger. It’s extremely easy to get lost, so it’s best to be careful.”
Warmth came from his broad and strong palm.
Chu Liuyue felt a little more at ease, and her lips curled up. “En.”
As she spoke, she moved her wrist, and the Chi Xiao Sword appeared in her hand. “This way, we should be able to find Ancestor and the rest faster.”
The Chi Xiao Sword had inherited the weapon soul of the Long Yuan Sword, so it had a subtle connection with Shangguan JIng. With this, it would be easy for Chu Liuyue to find traces of her ancestor.
This was also a major reason for her calmness.
Then, the few of them stepped into the stone forest together and quickly disappeared.
…
After walking for a distance, Chu Liuyue and the rest noticed the problem.
“This Messy Stone Forest is really as the rumors say. It’s as complicated as a maze…” Chu Liuyue looked around and muttered.
If not for the Chi Xiao Sword, they would’ve wasted a lot of time here.
“If Tang Ke’s tomb is really here, why did he choose this place?” Chu Liuyue couldn’t figure it out. Although the Heaven and Earth Force here is abundant, it isn’t top-notch. At the very least, it can’t compare to the Sky-Cloud Empire.
As for the environment… There are only huge rocks around. Other than that, there is nothing else.
There is really nothing special about it.
“This tomb might not have been chosen by him,” Rong Xiu said lightly. “After all, no one knows how he died back then.”
Chu Liuyue blinked and nodded in agreement. “That’s true…”
When the Tang family was exterminated, he didn’t appear. Either he was already dead at the time, or he was almost dead.
If he had been the one to die calmly, logically speaking, it would’ve been impossible for him not to know about the Tang family. Thinking about it this way, Tang Ke’s death might be more likely to be an accident.
Peng!
Another strange explosion sounded from ahead!
Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu stopped at the same time and glanced at each other.
Compared to the previous time, the sound was much closer this time. There seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air.
Sure enough, something had happened! Moreover, the location of the incident should be not far from them!
“Ancestor and the rest should be over there!” Chu Liuyue’s gaze turned sharp.
Just as she was about to move, Rong Xiu suddenly pulled her back. “Yue’er, wait a moment.”
He lowered his voice and frowned slightly as he looked ahead.
Chu Liuyue immediately held her breath and followed his line of sight.
Yan Qing and Qiang Wanzhou reacted very quickly. The moment Rong Xiu gave the order, they immediately concealed their figures and auras.
Although this place was flat and vast, it was very easy to hide among the huge rocks.
“…What’s wrong? What’s wrong?” asked Chu Liuyue softly.
As soon as she finished speaking, a cold aura suddenly attacked!
Swoosh! Boom!
A huge rock not far in front of them seemed to have been hit by some force. It let out a loud bang and trembled slightly.
Then, there was a muffled groan.
Dark-red blood slowly flowed from the ground behind the rock.
Chu Liuyue’s pupils narrowed!
The person who hit the huge rock just now seemed to be a human!
“That should be a true god expert.” Rong Xiu’s voice was very soft.
A true god expert might not be much in the God Residence Realm. However, almost all the people who came here today were top-notch Armory Refinement Masters!
A large number of them might be average in terms of warrior cultivation, but in terms of refinement, they were definitely outstanding enough!
A powerful Armory Refinement Master was even more precious than dozens of true god experts and even legendary warriors! Their deaths were obviously a huge loss.
“What’s going on over there? Why don’t I hear any sounds of fighting?” Chu Liuyue knitted her brows tightly.
She carefully observed her surroundings but didn’t find anything unusual.
That person seemed to suddenly fly over and hit the stone. He died immediately.
However, this matter itself was very strange.
Even an ordinary true god wouldn’t die so easily after being hit, but that person died before he could even let out a groan. This was too fast…
“Could it be that he was already dead?”
“No. He was still breathing when he flew in.” Rong Xiu denied Chu Liuyue’s guess.
His cultivation level was higher than Chu Liuyue’s, so his observations were more detailed than hers.
Hearing his words, Chu Liuyue’s doubts deepened. This person’s death was too strange…
Suddenly, Rong Xiu hugged her waist and pulled her into his embrace. “Follow me.”
He changed direction and took another detour.
Yan Qing and Qiang Wanzhou followed closely behind.
After making a few turns, they finally stopped.
Chu Liuyue was about to speak when she suddenly heard a man’s voice not far away.
“Everyone, if we still can’t think of a way to get out of here, we’re going to die here!” His voice was low and cold, as if he was suppressing his anger.
Chu Liuyue immediately quieted down and waited with bated breath.
At this moment, the few of them were hiding behind a huge rock and couldn’t see the situation over there. However, the voice could be heard very clearly.
Perhaps because Rong Xiu had specially concealed his aura, but no one noticed them even though they weren’t far from those people.
“Wei Ze! Didn’t you say that if anything happens, we can leave from above? What’s going on now!?” This was another person’s stern question.
Wei Ze? Chu Liuyue’s heart jumped.
She had heard of this person’s name before—he was the head of the Wei family.
Right on the heels of that, a hoarse and weak voice sounded. “…Everyone, the Wei family really didn’t mean to deceive you! The previous few times, our people used this method to escape. But for some reason, it’s useless now. Even if we really want to do something, why risk our lives?!”
His words were filled with helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Chu Liuyue instinctively looked up.
In the sky, a stream of light crossed and floated like a bridge.
This should be what they are talking about…
“What’s the point of talking about this now? So many people have already died. From the looks of it, the only way is to open Tang Ke’s tomb!”
Chu Liuyue’s eyes lit up. This is Ancestor’s voice!
