Trials of the Abyss

Chapter 94: The pool is weird

Views:

"It's so noisy."

Li Jie thought his noise was too annoying, so he snorted and said, "If you keep on yelling, I'll throw you into the darkness."

Qi Qingsong suddenly fell silent.

He didn't take Li Jie seriously before, but it's different now.

Li Jie not only easily rescued Dong Tianze from Pang Jian's hands, but also said that his family had a very deep friendship with the sect that accepted the inheritor of Tianfeng.

Li Jie's image suddenly became tall in Qi Qingsong's eyes, and he didn't dare to bump into Li Jie at this time.

Pang Jian squatted down, ready to pick up the broken arm and give it to Zhou Qingchen later.

If he couldn't explain himself, he would work together with Zhou Qingchen to kill Qi Qingsong.

But just as he stretched out his hand, the arm quietly shrank into the stone floor and disappeared in an instant.

Pang Jian was stunned.

He suddenly remembered that no matter who died in Bagua City or their limbs, they would not be retained for long after falling to the ground.

"It seems that I can't report to Master Zhou."

Pang Jian frowned.

Qi Qingsong, who had chopped off one of his arms and was sweating in pain, felt his scalp tingling. He said hurriedly, "Pang Jian, we have ways to regenerate broken limbs. Mine can be regenerated, and so can that girl's!"

Pang Jian said: "No wonder you are so decisive, it turns out you have already thought about it and will grow another one when you get out."

"As for that girl, I can also find a way!"

Qi Qingsong was in a panic, backing away continuously, saying, "I promise you! When I get out, I will find a way to help that girl solve the problem of broken arm. The boy named Zhou Qingchen is from the third world Red Mountain. I can find him easily. I swear to you!"

"Let's forgive others when we can. Forget it."

Li Jie, who was kindhearted by nature, felt compassion for Qi Qingsong after seeing him cut off his arm and express his opinion like this. He said, "Pang Jian, I will supervise him for you. As long as he swears, I will make him fulfill his promise."

Qi Qingsong raised his hand and swore without saying a word.

"Okay, that's about it."

Li Jie nodded and came to the location of the previous mirror tunnel.

He grabbed the edge of the pool with one hand and gently pulled back as if with something invisible.

It was as if an invisible curtain was pulled out by him.

The previously disappeared mirror tunnel reappears.

It seemed that it had never disappeared, but was covered by Li Jie with an invisible curtain, so it sometimes disappeared and sometimes reappeared.

“Huh!”

Li Jie presented the mirror tunnel again, glanced at the pool, and his expression gradually became solemn.

Pang Jian turned his head and saw that the turbid pool that was originally filled with blood had become clear again.

He had noticed long ago that the pool in front of him was the most special place in the entire City Lord's Mansion, and even in the entire Bagua City.

Any monks from all walks of life who died outside the pool would gradually disappear into the earth, both their souls and bodies.

The only exception is the pool.

Those who had stayed behind earlier wanted to seize the rare treasures and leave through the mirror tunnel under the noses of Lan Xi, Lin Beiye and Qi Qingsong, but they all died in the pool.

The bodies of the dead all floated in the pool and did not disappear silently.

It is also because of this that the pool is dyed red with blood, and there are very few places with clear water.

No one expected that in just a short while, the only normal pool of water became strange.

This obviously went beyond Li Jie's expectations.

"After Yuan Lengshan died, things became like this."

Dong Tianze, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interrupted from the corner: "She turned into blood mist and sprayed it into the pool, and all the corpses and blood began to disappear. And..."

Seeing that neither Pang Jian nor Luo Hongyan had any intention of attacking again, Dong Tianze said, "Moreover, even the souls of the dead are gathering in one place."

"I was the first to sense the movement of the residual soul with the ghost chant in my hand, and then I discovered the abnormality after careful observation."

He pointed to the copper box at the bottom of the pool that was wrapped with gold and silver threads and emitted yellow light, and said, "Everything is going into the box."

Several people stared in shock.

Sure enough, he discovered that there were very thin threads of blood escaping towards the copper box.

The clear pool was dotted with many objects left behind by the dead, all without any luster.

Only the copper box remained at the bottom of the pool forever, quietly devouring the souls and corpses of all the dead without anyone noticing, while still emitting a faint glow.

"Yuan Lengshan, it must be caused by Yuan Lengshan!"

Li Jie's face changed slightly as he thought of something.

"call out!"

While everyone was surprised, Dong Tianze suddenly shot towards the reappearing mirror tunnel.

He laid so much groundwork just to be able to leave Bagua City and not stay here any longer.

"Pang Jian, let him go!"

Li Jie shouted softly.

Pang Jian, who was about to wield the Jingzhi Spear, stopped because of this shout. He watched Dong Tianze step into the mirror tunnel and disappear.

“Spiritual food!”

"Haha, the city lord has finally gathered all the spiritual food!"

"Congratulations, Lord City Lord!"

"… "

Suddenly, the noisy and bustling sound reappeared.

Those disappeared ancient people reappeared in large numbers, like shadows projected from another world, standing in various areas of the palace.

The ancient people who disappeared three thousand years ago were all looking at the pool and discussing excitedly.

That's what happened right away!

Li Jie's face was gloomy as he looked at the ancient people who kept appearing, and then at the pool which had become clear.

"Everyone..." Qi Qingsong was panicking and crying, "Can I leave now?"

"Go ahead."

Li Jie waved his hand impatiently.

Qi Qingsong didn't dare to move and looked at Pang Jian again.

"Remember your promise." Pang Jian said coldly, "If Jiang Li's arm doesn't recover, I will find you."

"OK."

Qi Qingsong nodded, and after Dong Tianze, he also left using the mirror tunnel.

"Li Jie, how many secrets do you know about this Bagua City?"

Pang Jian asked.

Li Jie's attention was all focused on the copper box in the pool. He saw the last trace of blood merge into the box.

"Pang Jian, it's time for you two to leave."

Li Jie sighed, turned around and looked at Pang Jian, and said: "This time, I am the robbery master of Bagua City. I can send you to the mirror tunnels that echo this place in all realms."

"I sent Han Duping and the others, as well as Zhou Qingchen, to the Third Realm. If you want, I can also send you to the Third Realm. What is going to happen next has nothing to do with you, so there is no need for you to stay."

After Dong Tianze and Qi Qingsong left, Li Jie revealed part of the truth and said sincerely: "I don't know what will happen next. It is very likely... It will be a disaster specifically targeting me."

"Pang Jian, you guys should leave quickly."

He waved his hand.

Pang Jian was confused and shocked by the "robber lord" he mentioned and the many privileges he could enjoy in Bagua City.

"I feel like what's going to happen next is not going to be good."

Luo Hongyan frowned, and before Pang Jian could speak, she pulled Pang Jian's sleeve and said, "Listen to him, we really should go. Although I don't know the situation very well, I feel that he is doing this for our own good."

Li Jie said again: "Pang Jian, believe me, you really should leave."

"Wait."

Pang Jian suddenly shook off Luo Hongyan, did not listen to Li Jie, and turned to walk towards the dark alley.

He was about to call the girl hidden in the darkness to leave together.

When he entered the familiar place, he instantly felt the filthy power in the darkness rushing towards him again madly, filling his exhausted spiritual sea.

However, the girl named Li Yuqing is missing.

Pang Jian was stunned for a moment, then rushed out of the alley and stood outside the City Lord's Mansion.

Looking at the eight streets connected to the square, he found that every street entrance was empty and there was no human figure.

"Li Yuqing!"

After hesitating for a moment, he began to shout in the darkness, warning loudly: "There will be great danger behind Bagua City. You should leave now. Don't continue to hide and watch the show."

His voice spread in the darkness, echoing towards the eight street corners, and became louder and louder.

But no one responded.

After shouting for a while, he went to every street entrance and shouted in the same way.

Still no response from the girl.

"Nothing's going to happen, is it?"

He frowned and began to worry about the girl, fearing that she might encounter an accident in the dark.

"Pang Jian, come back soon! We really should leave!"

Inside the mansion, seeing that he had not returned yet, Luo Hongyan could not help but yell.

She saw that the gold and silver threads wrapped around the shabby copper box were being pried apart by an invisible force.

Gold and silver threads are twisting and breaking.

The shabby copper box at the bottom of the pool was about to open as if it had been broken by some force.

"Why."

Pang Jian sighed and reluctantly returned to the entrance of the alley, unable to help but think of the incident in which he had competed with the girl for food.

Subconsciously, he glanced at the place where he had fallen, and then saw a row of crooked and scribbled words.

—Don't tell them who I am and don't come looking for me.

Pang Jian was stunned for a moment, then he realized that this row of large characters hastily carved with a sharp weapon were left by the girl.

"Let me not look for her..."

Looking doubtfully into the depths of darkness, he nodded slightly and immediately returned to the light.

In the corner where Pang Jian had curled up his body, wailing heart-wrenchingly, and enduring the invasion of filthy alien power, the girl suddenly reappeared.

She looked silently at the alley leading to the City Lord's Mansion.

Pang Jian appeared earlier, calling her name and telling her that Bagua City would be in danger. She saw every scene clearly in the dark.

She also saw Pang Jian rushing into one street after another, repeatedly calling her name at every entrance.

Thinking of Pang Jian's silly look, she chuckled and murmured, "That guy actually came back to find me, and seemed... to be very anxious about me."

"Oh, how could something happen to me?"
