Chapter 197: Damn it, my disciple is the Demon Lord 16
Lu Xingxuan's eyes widened as she looked at the shocking scene in front of her.
It was worth the trip.
It can probably be considered as a publicly funded tour in the world of cultivation.
All the fatigue from the journey was gone as she stared at the spectacular world-class waterfall.
The colorful bird is not affected by the water level at all. It circles and dances regularly above the waterfall. If you look closely, you can see that it is a pattern of auspicious clouds.
Jiang Wei retracted his gaze and said in a low voice, "The spirit bird told them to be behind the waterfall."
Shi Qing was slightly stunned, "Could there be another mystery?"
"I'll go check it out." As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wei flew into the waterfall on his sword. After a while, he flew back.
His dark blue robe was not stained by a drop of water. He easily retracted his sword and stepped on the ground.
"There is no entrance behind the waterfall, but there are residual energy fluctuations of a powerful magic circle on the surface. I think it should be the place that the master mentioned."
Hearing this, Shi Qing and Jiang Wei both fell into deep thought.
The leader left them alone with just two people at the end, and he was talking about Feng Xizhou's demon-imprisoning seal.
Five hundred years ago, a demon king with supreme power appeared out of nowhere. He was bloodthirsty and brutal, and wherever he went, there were wailing. In order to stop him, an old ancestor of the Yunqi Sect took the lead and united hundreds of monks to suppress the demon king.
And the sealed location is in Fengxizhou.
A month ago, the Sun Crown on the main peak of the Sect Leader was shaking constantly, which meant that there was a high possibility of abnormal movement in the Magic Prison Formation.
Therefore, the head of the sect ordered the great elder to go and investigate, but he did not expect an accident to happen.
"The head brother said that the magic imprisonment array is set up in an ancient secret realm. If you want to find the entrance to the secret realm, you just need to destroy the outer layer of the illusion."
Jiang Wei nodded, "Let's set off immediately without delay, but——"
He frowned, and his sharp eyes fell on the smart and pretty Lu Xingxuan.
"She'll go too. I'll take good care of her." Shi Qing decided without hesitation.
"She is weak and can't even protect herself. If she goes in, she will only hinder us."
"I will take good care of her." Shi Qing didn't care at all, and said firmly, "She must go."
Jiang Wei looked at her cold expression, and his anger suddenly rose. His tone became heavier:
“Elder Yun, this is not a joke. I have tolerated your insistence on bringing her here. Now you also know that it is an ancient secret realm. Lu Xingxuan is only at the foundation-building stage, and it is a life-or-death situation for her to go in. Even if you want to prove your current ability, you don’t have to take such a big risk!”
Shi Qing remained unmoved. She looked at Jiang Wei with her eyes covered by black silk and opened her red lips slightly:
"Jiang Wei, I told you, Lu Xingxuan must go."
"Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?" Her paranoid attitude was particularly irritating, and Jiang Wei spoke word by word, gritting his teeth.
Shi Qing tilted her head to avoid his burning gaze, "This matter has nothing to do with you."
Judging from her attitude, Lu Xingxuan must go.
Jiang Wei snorted coldly and looked away, "When something goes wrong, I'll see how you explain it to others."
The air suddenly cooled, and Lu Xingxuan, who was at the center of the conversation, guessed the truth from their chatter.
Although Lu Xingxuan had known for a long time that the master and Elder Jiang were not on good terms, she was terrified along the way, but she had not seen them quarrel or argue, so she thought the rumors were false.
Unexpectedly, the war broke out, and she was the fuse?
She raised her pure almond-shaped eyes and looked at the two quarreling elders. Finally, she carefully moved to Shi Qing's side and gently pulled the woman's sleeve.
"Master, you and Elder Jiang don't need to argue anymore. Since I'm here, I must go in. I can at least help you a little."
Jiang Wei took a glance and saw that the person involved had agreed to go, so what else could he do to stop him?
Without saying much, he flew towards the waterfall on his sword.
Shi Qing also summoned the spirit sword, stood on the sword and stretched out his hand to Lu Xingxuan, saying in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, your master won't let anything happen to you."
There was a deafening sound of waterfalls all around, but her words were exceptionally clear. The tone and tenderness contained in each word were carried by the wind and reached her ears unhindered.
Lu Xingxuan stared at her hand in a daze, with lowered eyebrows. Her slender white fingers were slightly bent, with shiny fingertips, and she was waiting for her patiently.
Lu Xingxuan paused for a moment, and subconsciously put her hand gently on it. It was as cold as jade. Lu Xingxuan couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Master’s hands are so cold.
The soft hand quickly let her go, and Shi Qing looked forward, "Stand still."
Just like before, Lu Xingxuan tightly grasped the clothes around Shi Qing's waist. Shi Qing cast a water-blocking spell on both of them, silently chanting the incantation to urge the spirit sword into the water.
Jiang Wei had already broken through the magic array in front of him, and a crack appeared on the black rock wall. He exerted his spiritual power, and the crack expanded into an entrance large enough for one person to pass through.
"Let's go." Jiang Wei glanced at the two of them and walked in first.
Shi Qing and Lu Xingxuan followed closely behind.
As soon as I entered, I felt dizzy. When I came to my senses, what caught my eyes was a gloomy and dark forest.
There were towering old trees all around, their barks covered with dark green mosses, and the leaves on top were like spider webs, blocking out all the light. Vines were everywhere, winding from the wet ground to each tree, their rough bodies looming in the gaps between the leaves, like dormant poisonous snakes.
There was moist soil underfoot, mixed with years of rotten leaves and the remains of various insects and animals. The foul smell of decay choked my nose and made me feel nauseous.
Jiang Wei frowned and subconsciously looked at Shi Qing. As expected, she pursed her lips and looked extremely impatient.
Lu Xingxuan's facial features wrinkled together, she covered her nose with one hand and fanned away the unsmelly air in front of her.
At some point, thick fog came in from all directions, blurring the already unclear vision. The branches in the distance were waving their claws and teeth, like distorted human figures. A strange cry like a crow suddenly circled overhead, calling five times before disappearing.
"Master." Lu Xingxuan was frightened and moved closer to Shi Qing.
Just as she was about to look up, she suddenly realized that the person next to her was extremely tall, about two meters tall.
This is obviously not Master!
