2075 Tombstone
His voice was cold and low, like jade hitting each other, but it also carried an extremely terrifying pressure!
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground under his feet was covered in a faint layer of white frost!
A gust of wind swept over with cold air. Right on the heels of that, a translucent apparition appeared in front of Rong Xiu.
It was a man who looked to be in his 30s. He was wearing a blue robe and had a tall and straight figure. One could vaguely see his handsome appearance from back then.
It was Tang Ke!
The world would probably find it hard to believe that the legendary Tang Ke was actually so young.
In fact, because his talent was too outstanding back then, he had broken through the shackles early on and become a legendary warrior. Therefore, he maintained his original appearance.
Seeing that Rong Xiu was angry, a hint of fear flashed across Tang Ke’s eyes. He then cupped fists with both hands and bowed respectfully to Rong Xiu. “I made a decision on my own to lure Master Yue into Fengli Cave. I hope Your Highness can forgive my sins!”
Rong Xiu looked at him with a cold gaze. “Address her as Madam.”
Tang Ke suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly lowered his head. “I misspoke!”
I forgot that His Highness is already married…
Rong Xiu stepped forward. The increasingly heavy pressure was almost unbearable for Tang Ke.
Rong Xiu coldly said, “These ten doors, no matter which one she chooses, will eventually lead to Fengli Cave. You want her to help you save people? But do you know how dangerous this is for her!?”
The question made Tang Ke’s heart tremble violently.
He gritted his teeth, lifted his clothes, and kneeled down! “Your Highness, I understand everything you’re saying! But… I have no choice! Ten thousand years have passed, and I… really can’t wait anymore!”
Even if he knew that doing so would make His Highness angry, he had to do it! This was his only chance!
Rong Xiu looked down at him.
Tang Ke pressed his head against the ground and placed his hands on the ground. He was almost suppressed by this aura and couldn’t get up.
After a long while, Rong Xiu turned around and walked toward the door that Chu Liuyue had just entered.
Sensing the commotion, Tang Ke hurriedly dissuaded him. “Your Highness, you can’t go to Fengli Cave now!”
Rong Xiu stopped walking.
He naturally knew this. If he forced his way in now, the situation would only get worse.
“I’ll wait here.” Rong Xiu stood in front of the door with one hand behind his back, his eyes dark. “If she returns unharmed, I will let bygones be bygones. But if she is injured just the slightest… Tang Ke, your 10,000 years of waiting will be for naught!”
Tang Ke’s heart trembled. Then, he let out a long breath, closed his eyes, and kowtowed piously. “Thank you, Your Highness!”
…
Chu Liuyue naturally didn’t know what was going on outside.
After entering the bronze door, and after a short period of darkness, a light lit up in front of her.
Chu Liuyue calmed herself down and walked forward.
After walking through a narrow corridor, she realized that there was a silver barrier at the end, and that faint light came from this barrier.
Chu Liuyue sized it up carefully.
The pressure on this barrier was extremely strong, but it didn’t seem to be dangerous.
She hesitated and stretched out her hand but was surprised to find that her hand easily passed through the barrier.
“Hm?” Chu Liuyue widened her eyes in shock. I have never encountered such a situation before…
After hesitating for a moment, she walked forward. As expected, she passed through it easily!
Just as she was filled with doubts, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.
Behind the barrier was a different cave. As far as the eye could see, it was a flat and wide field.
Under the vast and advanced sky, two tombstones stood quietly.
