Chapter 1686: If I Say No
A chill suddenly ran from the bottom of her feet to the top of her head! Cold air enveloped her, and her entire body turned cold.
The mottled black walls became clearer under the sunlight.
“How did that happen?” Chu Ning was also stunned. It’s obvious that this wall disappears after dawn, but today—
“It looks like we have to think of another way.” Chu Liuyue thought for a moment and finally chose to accept reality.
Although she didn’t know why the wall had not disappeared, she vaguely felt that it had something to do with the sound of the zither she had heard. But now that she didn’t have any evidence, it was naturally hard to say.
Chu Liuyue stepped forward. “Ancestor, are you alright?”
Shangguan Jing didn’t sleep the entire night, but after a night’s rest, his body had mostly recovered, and his voice sounded much stronger. “I’m fine. Yue’er, don’t worry.”
Chu Liuyue thought for a moment and asked, “Ancestor, what if we go out separately and meet outside the God-Killing Tumulus?”
Shangguan Jing sighed. How could he not know what Chu Liuyuehe meant?
It was too difficult to go over this wall. It would be good if they could successfully meet up outside. But the key was…
“Yue’er, there are countless entrances to the God-Killing Tumulus and countless exits at the same time. Moreover, there are countless instances of spatial turbulence in the middle. If you’re not careful, you’ll lose your way. Back then, I went straight to the Flood-Desert Northern Region. If we go out separately and want to meet again, I’m afraid—”
It would take a lot of effort.
Chu Liuyue’s head hurt even more. What Shangguan Jing said was what she was most worried about.
The God-Killing Tumulus was too big, and it was impossible to fly in the vast wilderness. Once they were separated, it would take a lot of time and effort to find each other again.
The sound of the zither in her mind seemed to get closer and lingered, making her even more anxious.
Thump!
Gritting her teeth, she slammed her fist into the wall.
What the hell—
Whir!
A subtle fluctuation suddenly came from her dantian! Stunned, Chu Liuyue immediately perked up! This commotion is… that water droplet!
Sensing the change in her expression, Rong Xiu narrowed his eyes. “Yue’er, what’s wrong?”
Chu Liuyue shook her head gently and tried to punch the wall again.
Whir!
Another wave of commotion came over.
The most subtle thing was that she used a little more strength this time, and the commotion caused by the water droplet seemed to be stronger than the first time.
This… Chu Liuyue looked at the wall curiously, and her gaze was completely different from before. She finally knew where that faint sense of familiarity came from! Isn’t that solemn, dignified, and high-and-mighty aura extremely similar to the water droplet in my dantian?! But after I broke through to become a true god, the water droplet has kept a much lower profile and is staying quietly in my body.
That is why I didn’t think of it for a moment, but thinking back… I have been picked on by that water droplet a lot!
Chu Liuyue’s eyes were filled with suspicion. Could it be that… the water droplet in my body could still be related to this wall? If that is the case, does that mean I can find a way to cross this wall and successfully meet up with Ancestor?
Just as this thought flashed through her mind, a harsh voice suddenly came from behind her. “Uncle Luo Yan, it’s them!”
…
She is really persistent… Rubbing her brows, Chu Liuyue slowly turned around and saw a few familiar faces.
The person who had spoken just now was Nan Yiyi. Unlike her previous timid and aggrieved appearance, the current Nan Yiyi had arrogant eyes and an arrogant expression.
From top to bottom, there was no fear.
At this moment, she was standing beside a middle-aged man and pointing at Chu Liuyue. “It’s her—she caused us to fall to this state! Uncle Luo Yan, you must avenge Yiyi!”
Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows and smiled. It’s no wonder she has suddenly become so impudent; she has invited reinforcements.
She turned her gaze and looked at the man whom Nan Yiyi called ‘Uncle Luo Yan.’
The man looked to be in his thirties and was quite handsome. He was tall and burly, and he had wheat-colored skin, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes.
However, what attracted more attention was his shocking aura! Although the other party had yet to attack, Chu Liuyue had already quickly determined his realm—he was definitely a legendary warrior! Moreover… it was the kind with extremely high combat strength!
She could actually count on one hand the number of legendary warriors she had seen in her life, but she had a deep impression of every one of them.
This kind of person had a completely different aura than that of a supreme Armory Refinement Master or a supreme Physician.
As long as he stood there and did nothing, he was enough of a deterrent!
No wonder Nan Yiyi is suddenly so confident…
As Chu Liuyue sized up Luo Yan, the latter was also doing the same. After looking up and down, surprise flashed across his eyes because—he was actually unable to detect this woman’s true realm.
The other party’s strength is obviously inferior to mine. I’m a legendary warrior and am famous for my good eyesight. Generally speaking, I can easily figure out the other party’s cultivation realm with just a glance. But this woman… I can’t figure her out.
The only explanation is that she carries an extraordinary Yuan instrument that is specially used to hide her aura… Even I can’t see through it. It seems that I can’t underestimate them… Luo Yan’s mind raced, but his expression was very calm.
He put one hand behind his back and took a step forward. “Did you cause Yiyi’s injuries?”
His tone was calm, but he wasn’t angry, and he carried a sense of superiority.
It was a simple question coming from him.
Before Chu Liuyue could speak, Rong Xiu had already walked up to her. “You haven’t even introduced yourself, and you’re questioning me like this. Is this the rule of the Nan family?”
Luo Yan frowned.”You’re the Sky-Cloud Empire’s His Grace, Rong Xiu?”
Rong Xiu’s thin lips curled into a faint smile. “Before we came, they should’ve said a lot about us. Don’t you think it’s unnecessary to ask this question now?”
Luo Yan slowly clenched his fists. On the way here, I have indeed heard them roughly tell me what happened. At first, I thought that it was an exaggeration. Now, it seems that Rong Xiu is indeed as arrogant as they said! He clearly knows that I’m here to take revenge, but he is still so self-righteous and even going tit-for-tat!
Luo Yan smiled, but it was obvious that he did not take Rong Xiu seriously. “Rong Xiu, I can understand that you’re young and frivolous, but being too arrogant isn’t a good thing. Today, I’m here to seek an explanation for Yiyi. This matter has nothing to do with you. I advise you to move aside.”
What he meant was that he was here to find trouble with Chu Liuyue!
Rong Xiu also smiled, but there was a layer of frost between his eyebrows! “What if I say no?”
