Another few days passed. On the evening of the fourth day, Min Xinhan and Youyou were found in a valley near the middle level. Fortunately, the two were only unconscious from the drug and did not have any serious external injuries.
As for Yan Yue, there was no news. Slowly, some rumors spread that Yan Yue was dead and that even the jade stone that symbolized his identity in the Sect had been broken. However, as soon as the rumors spread, they were immediately suppressed.
Slowly, no one dared to discuss this matter again. Time passed day by day and everyone seemed to have forgotten about it.
Tong!
Tong!
Tong!
Tong!
The sound of someone slowly descending the stairs sounded particularly heavy in this quiet underground. A pair of greyish brown boots went up, and a loose dark blue robe covered with a light grey transparent gown.
The tightly pursed thin lips, the ice-cold eyes, and the cold expression on his face. Everything was a clear indication of his master's extreme displeasure.
His handsome face also caused people to feel fear because of his cold expression, and they didn't dare to approach him.
"Did they confess?"
The man's voice was gentle yet indifferent. His tone was faintly discernible, but no one dared to ignore it.
"According to your instructions, those torture instruments have been used. They have all confessed. It is indeed these few people." A huge figure walked out from the darkness and respectfully said to the man in front of him.
After hearing this, the man nodded and walked towards a stone prison. Before he got close, he heard weak cries and pleas from inside. From the sound of it, there was more than one person.
After looking at the few people who were hung on the wall, the man's eyes became even colder. The corner of his mouth curved into a cruel sneer. "Do you know your wrongs?"
Hearing this voice, the few people seemed to have grasped at the last straw in their despair. They scrambled to beg for mercy, saying that they knew their wrongs and would not dare to do it again. If their bodies were not nailed to the wall, they would have already crawled to the man's feet.
The man just quietly listened to their incoherent pleas for mercy. The few of them pushed the blame to each other, saying how innocent they were, and promised that they would not dare to do it again.
A faint sneer hung on the man's lips, seemingly unmoved by their words.
When they finally got tired of talking, their voices lowered. The man then opened his mouth and said, "Some mistakes can't be solved with punishment. Since you like to beg for mercy so much, you can go down and tell her personally, okay?" After saying that, the man turned and left, ignoring the voices of the people behind him.
"Kill them all," the man ordered the people next to him.
"Kill, kill?
However, this kind of thing requires the permission of the Sect. If we act rashly, I'm afraid — "Before he could finish, he was stopped by the cold murderous intent in the man's eyes. He swallowed hard and quickly corrected himself," Yes!
This lowly one obeys! "
After leaving the underground, a figure flew over from afar. He was dressed in fiery red robes and had long, flowing black hair. It was none other than Yi Suixian. "Where are they?" Before the person arrived, his voice had already traveled over.
"I'm afraid you're too late."
"What?
Could it be that he had already … Sigh!
Senior Martial Brother, how could you be so foolish? How are we going to explain this to the Sect Elders?
Forget it, forget it. She is also your disciple. Your actions are pardonable. "Yi Luixian shook his head helplessly. There was nothing he could do about it. Since it had already happened, there was no way he could go back on it. But when he thought of those stubborn elders, he felt a headache coming on.
"This is my Sui Han's matter. You only need to say so!"
"Sui … Han," Yi Suixian looked at the departing figure with a conflicted expression. Bitterness filled his mouth and heart. "You spent so much effort to give up the name 'Han' and reclaim the name 'Lun Yi'. Now, for that girl, you're going to pick up that nightmare again?
If only I had understood from Xiang Pei's words earlier. I wouldn't have let you fall so deeply. "
Seeing that his Senior Martial Brother's figure was about to fade out of sight, Yi Suixian shouted at him loudly, "She's already dead!"
It was just a Yan Yue, but she actually made his Senior Martial Brother like this. No matter what, he had to stop him. That family that didn't treat him as a human, that family that only brought him pain and humiliation. He would never let him go back there again.
Yi Suixian's words made Alpha Suiren pause for a moment before he continued to fly forward. Sorry, Junior Martial Brother, I never regretted my feelings for her. I just regret that I seemed to have understood it too late!
Yan Yue …

"Sovereign!
Grandmaster Hito, he has already left? "Mu Fanghua looked at Yan who was meditating with his eyes closed in front of her and asked in a puzzled voice.
The space was quiet. After a long time, when Mu Fanghua thought that the Sovereign would not answer her, she heard the Sovereign's reply. "Well, seven days ago.
Little Hua!
This time, there will be one less person sent to Heyi Mountain Range! "
"Yes!" Knowing who the Sovereign was referring to, Mu Fanghua did not open her mouth to ask again.
"The taboo of the Dragon Lock Pool can be lifted."
"What?" This, this taboo had existed for so many years, how could it be lifted all of a sudden!
Mu Fanghua's heart was full of puzzlement!
One must know that under the pool, there was a super dangerous monster sealed. Once the taboo was lifted, if an ignorant disciple went there, hiss!
Just thinking about it made her scared.
"Little Five is no longer here." After saying that, ignoring the stunned Little Hua, Yan turned and entered his stone room.
Little Five was indeed gone. There was no longer any breath under the pool. It had just disappeared, and Ren came to say goodbye to him. Was it really a coincidence?
If it was, then it was too much of a coincidence!
There was also that disciple named Yan Yue. He always felt that she couldn't get away from this matter.
He originally thought that she was quite interesting, but her death was too sudden. If it weren't for her identity jade being broken, he wouldn't have believed it so easily!

"Ai!
I don't know how long it will be locked up. Fortunately, it's not a dirty cage, otherwise I will definitely be the first one who can't stand it. "Shaking her head and sighing at the sky, Qin Rou stretched out her index finger and middle finger and poked a creature sleeping soundly in Yan Yue's arms. She said strangely," Yan Yue!
Your demonic beast's level isn't low either. Why don't you let it break this damned cage?!
It also saves us from suffering here. When those people come back, I don't know what they will do to us! "
"Still sleeping." It couldn't be helped. The Tuantuan had been like this for a month or two, and it hadn't eaten. If she didn't know that it basically didn't need to eat now, Yan Yue would be worried again.
Demonic beasts' deep sleep was like the meditation of human cultivators. However, the difference was that, except for some special moments, cultivators could wake themselves up at any time, but demonic beasts couldn't. They couldn't even control the time they wanted to sleep, and once they entered deep sleep, it was generally difficult to wake them up because of external forces.
She couldn't guarantee that if she acted rashly, she wouldn't hurt it, so Yan Yue just let it sleep.
This was the first time in so many years that the Tuantuan had slept for so long!
However, in Yan Yue's opinion, the so-called deep sleep was similar to sleeping. Other than not being able to wake up, she really didn't know what was the difference.
Qin Rou moved closer to Yan Yue and sniffed her body. She blinked in confusion and sniffed again. "Strange!
Why is your aura sometimes strong and sometimes weak, sometimes high and sometimes low? "
Yan Yue had noticed the disorder of her aura a few days ago. She originally thought that it was caused by being imprisoned here, but seeing that everyone was fine, it seemed that she was the only special one.
Therefore, a faint guess appeared in Yan Yue's mind. That was, she might be about to form her Gold Core.
Although forming her Gold Core was a good thing, alas!
She was now at the mercy of others. Without a suitable environment, rashly forming her Gold Core would probably cause her to go berserk.
Moreover, she didn't know when those people who imprisoned them here would suddenly appear. If she was affected while forming her Gold Core, it wouldn't be as simple as failing to form her Gold Core.
However, her aura seemed to be even more unstable now. Even Qin Rou could feel it. Yan Yue thought about it. According to her current physical condition, she could at most hold on for ten more days!
Before that, she had to find a way to break out of this silk cage.
"Yan Yue?
Yan Yue? "
Qin Rou called out a few times, but seeing that the person in question acted as if she didn't hear her and ignored her, she couldn't help but sit on the side with a lack of interest. She kept sighing, louder and more sorrowful with each sigh!
Her sighs finally attracted Yan Yue's attention. Yan Yue looked at her suspiciously from head to toe, and then quietly stepped back, ignoring this woman who kept sighing.
Pushing aside the long grass, Yan Yue tried to look around the edge to see if she could find any loopholes. It wasn't a good idea to be locked up here!
She had just stepped out of her death trap and hadn't had time to rest yet, but she was inexplicably caught in this broken place.
Although everyone had walked around many times these days, Yan Yue still didn't want to give up. Instead of sitting here doing nothing, it was better to come out and look around. No matter how perfect a cage was, there would be imperfections, right?
A few Tuantuan girls in their teens gathered together. Seeing that Yan Yue had walked around the outer circle again, they sighed helplessly, "Everyone has looked around. There's nowhere to go. It's useless to look around now!"
"Yeah!
It's better to just sit here and waste our energy. "
"I only hope that those people who caught us can still remember us. I don't want to die in this damned place!"
"I'll also go and look around." An older girl heard their words and glanced at Yan Yue who had walked away. Thus, she also walked towards the outer circle.
"Why did Sister Li also leave?"
"If she wants to go, then let her go!
Anyway, the result will be the same! "
The remaining few people suddenly became silent again. No one spoke. In other places, there were also some girls of different ages and occasionally a few boys. However, most of them were either lying or sitting on the ground. No one stood up. Perhaps they had already tried their best to look around and had given up hope. They were just waiting for someone to save them.
"Okay!
Let's get to work! "Qin Rou shouted and stood up. She patted her butt and raised her arms to stretch. Then, she walked towards a direction. Instead of sitting here and waiting for someone to save them or waiting for death, it was better to do something to comfort herself. There was really nothing more unbearable than wasting time in a daze!
It was better to think of a way to save herself!

On the Cloud Mountain in the west, the sun quietly hid half of its face, leaving only half of its red cheeks to shine on the land.
The tree blushed and nervously dropped a few bright red leaves. The curious wind seemed to be very interested in these small leaves. It circled around them, floating up and down, playing a silent game of chase.
Finally, it seemed to have decided to let it go. It let go of its hand, and the small red leaf floated back onto the calm lake. Ripples spread out, and the reflection in the water also stirred up waves because of this small red leaf.
Because of this, the mountain and its reflection could be distinguished.
A naughty little fish sneaked out of the water and spat out bubbles. It circled around the leaf and suddenly bit the leaf. With a flick of its tail, it rushed back to the bottom of the lake.
The surroundings were still terrifyingly quiet. The air was so quiet that even the sound of mosquitoes spreading their wings could be heard clearly.
Suddenly, cold air began to rise from the surface of the lake. Slowly, the cold air became stronger and stronger. A thin layer of ice began to form on the calm surface of the lake!
Chi!
Chi!
Sizzling sounds were constantly heard, and pure white Ice Crystal Flowers were constantly emerging. When all the Ice Crystal Flowers had almost covered the entire lake, the sun had already set, and the moon had also unknowingly drilled into the sky.
In the center of the lake, a huge ice water lily emerged from the water. If one looked carefully, one would find that the thin leaves of this ice water lily had veins and blood vessels like a human. One could faintly see the flow of blood. When one got close to it, one could almost feel its breath. This was an ice water lily that was about to take shape.
Dark clouds gathered from all directions above the lake. More and more clouds gathered, thicker and thicker. Suddenly, the wind blew, lightning flashed, and thunder roared. All of a sudden, the whole world was lit up.
Yan Yue opened her eyes abruptly and looked in a direction. Her eyes were slightly dignified. Not only Yan Yue, but many others were also startled awake by the sudden lightning. They could not help but look in that direction in puzzlement.
A white lightning bolt as thick as a person's wrist quickly struck downwards, followed by a second, then a third. There was no chance for them to catch their breath at all. The few women huddled together in fear, afraid that the lightning bolt would accidentally strike them!
Even if they had not experienced it, their bodies could not help but stand so far away. They could feel the terrifying power of the lightning. If they were really struck, there would be nothing left of them.
"Lightning … tribulation?"
