Xu Xiaoyan asked: "What will happen if you fall down?"
Grandma Hua said: "Juelongyuan is the most dangerous place in the Holy Tower, and it is also the place of punishment. If someone in the Holy Tower commits a serious crime and is sentenced to death, he will be pushed into Juelongyuan. Once pushed into Juelongyuan, there is no possibility of coming out alive.
"It's just that other places are all under extremely strict surveillance. Now this is the only way to get to the forbidden area without being discovered. If it were any other time, we wouldn't even be able to get here."
Xu Xiaoyan said resolutely: "Let's go up from here."
Grandma Hua said: "Let's go..."
But a low shout was heard: "Who is it?"
The flower lady was startled and turned around, only to see three wizards rushing over.
The flower lady secretly thought that this was not good. If she started fighting here, more people would come. Just as she was panicking, the leading witch scolded her, "What are you doing here alone?"
Mrs. Hua looked back in surprise, but could no longer see Xu Xiaoyan.
Grandma Hua secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly leaned forward and said, "Just now, just now the mountains and the earth were shaking outside, it was extremely scary, I was at a loss, and like everyone else, I was scared and ran around everywhere, and I don't know how I ran here. Master Witch, this... what on earth happened?"
The three wizards also looked pale. The leader snorted, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. This is not where you should be. Get out."
The flower lady said, "Yes! Yes!" She did not dare to refuse. She lowered her head and hurried away under the supervision of two wizards.
The leading wizard took a few more steps forward, looked around, and found nothing. He then looked towards Juelongyuan, which was filled with gloomy air, so he did not dare to approach.
So he quickly turned and left.
—One hand was placed on the edge of the cliff of Juelongyuan, supporting his shaky body.
Xu Xiaoyan's back was covered in cold sweat. At the bottom of Juelongyuan, it seemed as if an unknown force was dragging her, trying to drag her into the place of death from which there was no escape.
She placed her hands on the uneven ground above her, barely blocking the wizard's sight.
If the wizard took two more steps forward, he would probably be able to discover her fingers hooked on the cliff.
After all those people left, she staggered and put her other hand on him.
The invisible suction force pulled her, and her legs began to be pulled apart, which made her feel panicky.
Using all her strength, she climbed up, turned over, sat on the ground, and looked at Jue Longyuan.
The bottom of the abyss cannot be seen. Only the eerie fog is surging and swaying in the abyss.
She felt that there was a pair of terrifying eyes staring at her from the depths of the abyss, making her scalp tingle.
She climbed up, looked up along the edge of the chasm, gritted her teeth, and walked forward resolutely without much delay.
There were actually some forked roads at the edge of Juelongyuan. But without Hua Po leading the way, she didn't dare to walk along those forked roads casually, for fear of being discovered by others outside.
I had no choice but to stick close to Juelongyuan and move forward carefully.
After passing a place, the mouth of Juelongyuan began to narrow, and there was a cliff above.
She could only walk along the narrow path with difficulty.
She clung to the cliff wall, her fingers touching the surface, and moved slowly.
A cold wind rushed at her back, and from time to time, vibrations came from outside.
Only after passing this section did the place where we could stand become much wider.
She bent down, supported her knees with her hands, and took a few breaths.
Looking back, the black fog was swaying back and forth like poisonous snakes.
The path we came here from cannot actually be called a "road" at all. It is just a crack caused by the peeling of soil and rocks.
Bang! A piece of stone fell down and smashed into the black fog below, and dense, snake-like fog rolled up.
She felt countless snakes crawling under her scalp.
She turned back and looked upward resolutely... At this point, she had no way out.
Xu Xiaoyan continued to climb up, and the front gradually became open, and there was a faint scent of flowers. Juelongyuan continued to move forward, but it passed through a crack at the bottom of the mountain, and it was no longer open upwards.
Xu Xiaoyan knew that she was about to enter the Xianqiong forbidden area.
Suddenly, her mysterious energy sensed something and she turned her head to look.
—A twisted dead tree suddenly broke open, and someone jumped out, looking at her with cold, almost lifeless eyes.
It was a young woman with disheveled hair and a cold face. She changed into the same long, curved-hem gown worn by the woman in the mirage of Pengjing, but it seemed loose and the hem was too short, obviously having been taken from someone else.
Xu Xiaoyan looked at her with wide eyes... She was Zhao Ruoxin.
She is her sister!
At this moment, Xu Xiaoyan finally understood... She also wanted to come here to save people.
From the beginning, her goal was to rescue their sister from here... whether it was in the Three-Tassel Ghost Cave, madly pursuing power, or something else.
Xu Xiaoyan opened her mouth. She had a lot of things she wanted to say to her... so many things.
Whoosh! A black murderous aura rushed over, carrying with it a terrifying demonic aura, and a hand instantly grabbed her throat.
Xu Xiaoyan slapped her hands. Zhao Ruoxin's arms were wrapped in a strange black air, and the devil's shadow was swaying behind her, looking hideous.
Xu Xiaoyan wanted her to stop and wanted her to know that she was her sister.
That cold face was filled with twisted murderous intent. He held her hand and pushed her towards the edge of the cliff little by little.
The wind howled, and the black mist that looked like a group of snakes began to surge violently, as if it was getting excited.
Xu Xiaoyan turned her head and looked down with difficulty. At this moment, her legs were hanging in the air. She burst into tears and struggled. She slapped Zhao Ruoxin's hands, but she couldn't get free.
Those cold, gloomy eyes stared at her coldly.
The hand wrapped in the black magic power suddenly loosened, the violent energy was suppressed, and the girl's delicate body began to fall.
Her body was dragged downward by the madly surging mist. Feeling powerless and weightless, she turned her back to the abyss and looked at her sister who was looking down at her coldly from the cliff.
Through her tears, she smiled and whispered something.
A black fog surged in and swallowed her.
The young woman on the cliff turned around indifferently and continued to climb towards the forbidden area...
Chapter 390 Sisters: Holy Princess!
Shi Hao followed the mushroom and crawled on the sea of algae under a building.
I have to admit that shiitake mushrooms are truly the "Monkey Virgin" of the Pengjing Mirage. The path they found is so tricky and weird that it is simply incredible.
There are some secret passages, and no one knows how she found them.
The surroundings were in chaos and the people of the entire Pengjing Mirage were in panic, which also helped them a lot.
On the other side of the Jueduan Sea, the tremors became more and more intense, and the rising demonic shadow was bizarre and terrifying.
No one knew what happened on the other side of the river, but a large number of troops rushed there, causing the defenses to become much looser wherever they passed.
He climbed over the sea of algae and passed through a wind hole. Then, the mushroom led him into the gap between the trees.
—A towering tree, no one knew how long it had been alive. I crawled through the cracks in the tree and fell inside. Surprisingly, there was a secret passage leading to the front.
"It's so crowded!" Shiitake muttered, "Strange, why has this place become so small?"
Shi Hao thought, you have grown up, right
Although Xianggu is small in stature, she was probably less than ten years old when she escaped from the Pengjing Mirage. After all, so many years have passed.
Even mushrooms have difficulty getting out, so it stands to reason that it would be even more difficult for Shi Hao himself to do so.
But Shi Hao has mastered the "Nine Changes of Yin Mei" and can shrink bones.
Fortunately, otherwise he would have been trapped by the mushrooms and was stuck in such a place, unable to advance or retreat.
When he came out, he arrived at a bush of flowers. Xianggu looked back at him curiously, wanting to know how he had managed to get out of such a crowded tunnel.
"Let's go!" Shi Hao didn't have time to waste here.
Shi Hao was worried about Xu Xiaoyan, who was washed away by an undercurrent. He discovered that the undercurrent had many tributaries, making it so complicated that he could not find Xiaoyan at all.
Finally, he made a decision to go to the Xianqiong forbidden land first, bring Xiaoyan's sister out, and then try to meet up with Xiaoyan.
They did not have much time. If they did not take advantage of this chaos to get the "Holy Princess" out and wait until the Holy King recovered, they would probably never have another chance.
Following the mushroom through the garden, we passed several halls. The surrounding buildings became more and more gorgeous, with gold carvings and jade bricks, which was completely different from the place we just passed.
"Oh no, I can't get through there!" Xianggu shrank his body and looked towards the palace door on the other side.
Shi Hao saw that there was a sorcerer and more than a dozen wizards guarding there.
Now, he was able to judge the identity and status of the people in the "Holy Building" simply by their clothes.
Shi Hao whispered: "Is there any other way?"
Xianggu thought hard, shook his head, and said, "It seems that we can go to Juelongyuan, but it's so scary there. I didn't dare to go near it when I was a kid. There is also a door to the Golden Palace, but it is locked from the inside. Although there is a window, even a child can't climb through it..."
Shi Hao pondered and said, "Take me over to have a look."
Xianggu took him and slipped towards the Golden Palace.
Soon, Shi Hao saw a large hall with its door closed, save for a window for ventilation in the upper right corner.
Shi Hao flew up, and I don't know what technique he used, but he shook his body and went in like flowing water.
Shiitake's eyes were wide open!
Soon, there was a clanging sound from the other side of the door, and then the door was opened.
Xianggu flashed in and shouted, "What kind of Kung Fu is this? I want to learn it."
Shi Hao ignored her and quickly closed the door. He put up the upper, middle and lower triple iron bolts, but left the iron chain loose.
Running towards the depths of the Golden Palace with Xianggu, a person suddenly appeared in front of us.
Shi Hao and Xianggu were shocked and were about to fight, but the man looked at them, and instead of shouting or yelling, he raised his hand, signaling them to be quiet.
The man turned and yelled, "It's such a mess outside, there's nothing to see here, go outside and help."
Someone answered, "Yes!" and then there was the sound of hurried, chaotic footsteps.
The man glanced at them, said nothing more, and turned away, as if he had not seen anyone at all.
Shi Hao whispered, "Who is this person?"
Xianggu groaned for a long time before remembering, "He was Master Chen Zhu, my brother's best friend. But later, he had a quarrel with my brother and we were about to fight. After my brother and I escaped, when we were at sea, my brother would look back from time to time and say that the only thing he couldn't give up in the Holy Tower was this good brother."
Shi Hao said: "It seems that he recognized you! More likely, your brother had a falling out with him because they had such a good relationship and your brother was worried that he would be implicated."
Shiitake nodded: "He is a good man."
The people outside were transferred away by Master Chen Zhu, and they continued to move forward, going deeper into the forbidden area.
Xianggu was more familiar with the forbidden area... She was originally a "holy virgin" and was locked up here since she was a child. She was later released after it was discovered that she had no holy energy in her body.
The depths of the forbidden area are not accessible to anyone, so there are not many people there.
Soon, they emerged from the clusters of purple and red flowers. At the arched round door in front of them, two maids in crimson clothes were guarding it.
Another white-haired old woman was walking on the cobblestone road, carrying a plate.
Shiitake's eyes sparkled: "Flower Lady?!"
Shi Hao asked in a low voice: "Who is she?"
Xianggu said: "She was my wet nurse and had always taken care of me when I was a child. Because she offended my brother, he threw her into prison and used torture on her. She suffered a lot. I almost had a falling out with my brother because of this. Later, my brother ran away with me. I have always felt that she is the one I feel the most sorry for."
They saw Flower Lady coming to the garden gate, and one of the maids asked, "Flower Lady, why are you here at this time
Grandma Hua sighed, "It's very chaotic outside, the mountains are shaking and the earth is trembling. I'm worried that the Saint Princess will panic, so I came here to accompany her."
Another maid was also uneasy and asked in a low voice: "What's going on outside?"
Grandma Hua shook her head and said, "I am not sure either. It seems that an outsider has crossed the Jiedu River. It is a girl. She is very powerful. Several priests and shamans have come together to defeat her."
The maid asked doubtfully, "Girl?"
The Flower Lady said, "They said that girl looks younger than the Saint Princess. I don't know where she got her ability from, but she is so powerful. Alas... Can this old servant go in?"
The two maids did not stop her and made way for her.
The flower lady carried the tray and entered the garden gate. The two maids turned back and suddenly, they heard a buzzing sound in their ears. They turned their heads at the same time, but before they could see clearly, they felt a pain in their necks.
The two maids fell down, and two gusts of wind rose up. They were dragged into the flowers by Shi Hao and Xianggu who rushed out from the dark.
