As time passed, the fall seemed to have no end, and Ji Linger's hand holding Chu Zhongan's neck slowly relaxed from its tight state.

"Zhong An, I think it's a good ending to die with you today!" Ji Linger's expression was indifferent, her tone was gentle but firm.

Chu Zhongan gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Ling'er, as long as I'm here, neither you nor I will die!"

"I don't know why, but I believe everything you say unconditionally. Maybe this is the blindness of emotion..." Ji Linger couldn't help but sigh.

Chu Zhongan said solemnly: "Since you believe in me, I can't let you down!" As he spoke, he took the hand that was not holding the gun into his arms.

Two small shields appeared in Chu Zhongan's hands. He injected his internal energy into the two shields at the same time, and two circles of barriers immediately wrapped him and Ji Ling'er.

These new Mohist amulets were all modified by Chu Boping. Compared with the previous ones, the biggest difference is that each of these small shields is not a disposable treasure. Only when the power in it is exhausted will it become completely useless.

Not only can such a new amulet be used multiple times, but the impact it can withstand is not comparable to the original ones.

Chu Boping was worried that there would be problems with the automatic triggering of these amulets. He also deliberately added self-activating mechanisms to them. As long as a certain amount of internal force was injected, the protective barrier could be opened.

A more perfect amulet requires more precious materials, and the finished product that Chu Boping can create is only a few pieces. As the person closest to Chu Boping, Chu Zhongan naturally receives more care. Even so, he I just got three small shields.

One piece was given to Ji Linger, and the other two pieces were already in his hands. This was all he had.

At this time, the two circles of barriers surrounding the two of them were Chu Zhongan who took the initiative to activate the protective barrier of the amulet.

After another long time, the two finally landed on the ground with a loud bang, and the violent impact made them almost lose consciousness.

When Chu Zhongan's consciousness returned to clarity, he immediately looked at Ji Linger, who was lying on top of him.

"Ling'er, are you okay?" Chu Zhongan asked anxiously.

Although Ji Ling'er was powerful, his physical strength was not as good as Chu Zhong'an's. At this time, he had fainted. When Chu Zhong'an called him, Ji Ling'er slowly woke up.

"Where is this?" Ji Linger looked at the dark surroundings and asked in a panic.

Chu Zhongan said in a deep voice: "Based on the time of the fall, this place is already very deep underground." As he spoke, he gently tapped the Emperor Jiangjia, and the red square on the Emperor Jiangjia illuminated the surrounding environment. Bright.

This is a large underground cave, surrounded by rock walls on all sides. There is no end in sight above, only a corridor that only allows one person to pass, and it extends to an unknown direction.

Ji Ling'er looked around with a solemn expression, and let out an exclamation when she looked at the ground.

Chu Zhongan immediately followed Ji Ling'er's line of sight and saw a pool of flesh and blood there. From its appearance, it could be seen that it was Xue Hu.

At this time, the snow fox had completely fallen into the mud and could no longer die.

"It's such a pity that we fell short..." Ji Ling'er said in annoyance.

"It's a pity, but there's no time to think about this. The top priority now is to find a way out!" Chu Zhongan's expression was extremely heavy.

"Can't you fly out?" Ji Linger asked doubtfully.

Chu Zhongan said bitterly: "Di Jiang Jia has very little power left, so he may not be able to fly up. More importantly, there is something weird here, so he can't fly up at all..."

"Forbidden air?" Ji Ling'er exclaimed.

"I think it's not that simple. It may be more terrifying than the Forbidden Sky..." Chu Zhongan said and ran quickly towards a stone wall.

Chu Zhongan stopped at the edge of the stone wall, pulled out two daggers and started climbing upwards. For him, climbing the mountain was like walking on flat ground, and he went very fast.

Ji Linger saw this and came to the bottom of the mountain wall. She looked up nervously.

I saw that Chu Zhongan's speed slowed down as he climbed up, and his movements became more difficult.

Chu Zhongan only climbed about ten feet and was already sweating profusely. Then he stopped climbing.

, but climbed down.

Climbing up was extremely difficult, but going down was extremely easy. Soon Chu Zhongan was back at the bottom of the cave again.

"What's going on?" Ji Linger asked.

"Just now I felt a strange force in this cave. After trying this, it turned out to be true. It is impossible to climb out of the cave. The higher you climb, the stronger the pulling force becomes. With you and me, I can't climb up with my strength..." Chu Zhongan said with a gloomy expression.

Ji Ling'er fell into silence. She suddenly looked to the side of the corridor, where a faint light flickered.

Chu Zhongan pretended to be calm and said: "It seems that we can only enter the corridor to find a way out. If we wait here, we will starve to death here sooner or later."

Ji Ling'er adjusted her breath and suddenly smiled: "Let's go, as long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid of wherever I go!"

Chu Zhongan said solemnly: "As long as I am alive, I will keep you safe!" While walking towards Yongdao, he looked at Xuehu's body.

Ji Linger obediently followed Chu Zhongan with a firm gaze.

Chu Zhongan originally wanted to take the flesh and blood of the snow fox away, but the snow fox didn't have much flesh to begin with, and now it was smashed into mud. It was so painful to take it away, so he had to give up after thinking for a moment.

When the two got closer, they discovered that this corridor was not naturally formed. Not only were there traces of man-made excavations, but there were also many mysterious lines on it. However, it seemed that this corridor had gone through countless years, and the lines on it had already been seen. Not real.

Chu Zhongan walked forward cautiously, with Ji Linger following closely behind. As soon as the two of them walked a short distance forward, Chu Zhongan felt a soft and tender hand holding his left hand.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

"I'm a little scared..." Ji Ling'er whispered. Although he couldn't see her face, Chu Zhongan could detect her shyness in her tone.

Feeling the soft and warm little hand, Chu Zhongan felt a little hot in his heart. He did not let go of his hand, and the two held hands and continued to move forward.

Just when Chu Zhongan and the two fell into the hole, Doudou, who had filled her stomach and was lying leisurely on the grass, suddenly sat up. She looked shocked and murmured to herself: "What's going on? Why are the two of them so angry?" The mark lost its senses at the same time, nothing will happen to the two of them!"

"It's really not a worry. Can't we have such a good opportunity to fall in love? Why are we still in danger!" Doudou said with a dissatisfied frown.

Doudou stood up and patted the dust on his body and said helplessly: "I still have to take action from my sister!"

At this time, everyone from the Frost Faction outside was concentrating on forming a circle, while Dahuang and Xiaodian had their strength blocked and fell to the ground, completely losing their ability to move.

"Elder brother, there has just been an avalanche in the Snowy Mountains. There is too little food to be found. The brothers are all very hungry. Why don't we kill these two spiritual beasts? The meat of the spiritual beasts is a good thing to satisfy our hunger!" A Frost Sect master said beside Gao Lie.

Gao Lie said with a solemn expression: "These two spiritual beasts must not be touched. The female master who just broke into the sect is unfathomable. There has been no movement for so long. The outcome of the sect is unpredictable."

"If the elders of the sect lose, and we kill these invading spiritual beasts, then it will be a life-and-death situation, and you and I will become the sinners of the sect!"

The master didn't seem to take it seriously. He muttered: "There are so many strong masters in the sect, but a little girl can be so powerful. I think she just has some powerful self-protection methods. The elders of the sect can't do anything for a while." Just take her down completely..."

Gao Lie said with a cold face: "These two women and one man are young but extremely powerful. Their family backgrounds are unpredictable. Everything needs to be done with caution, otherwise it will cause trouble!" He thought of Doudou's strength and kindness. Zhong An's heart became more determined as he used the Yanbo Jue.

The expert rolled his eyes and said, "I think you're being too cautious, senior brother. You guys are all hungry!" His tone was a little dissatisfied.

"If you're hungry, send a few more people out to look for food. I'm here to take charge. If those two people come back to kill me, I will definitely capture them. When things change, we will have someone to rely on!" Gao Lie glanced sideways.

The man looked very tough.

Just as the two were talking, a loud noise came from behind. Gao Lie and others looked back and saw that the blackstone gravel that had originally blocked the entrance to the Frost Sect's secret realm was exploded by red debris, and then a figure Walked out.

Gao Lie immediately recognized Doudou and shouted: "Get ready to meet the enemy!"

Everyone pulled out their weapons one after another. They felt like they were facing a powerful enemy but they didn't dare to act rashly.

After Hong shattered the black rock, Doudou returned to normal from the state of fusion with Bai Ze. She looked into the air and said: "Xiao Horibei, don't play anymore. There is something wrong with Xiao Anzi and the two of them. Let those guys go." Come out!"

The originally invisible Horror appeared after hearing the words. It dropped to the ground and suddenly grew in size, then opened its mouth.

The Horrible Illusion vomited everyone from the Frost Faction to the ground as if they were vomiting, and there were hundreds of them lying on the ground.

Although the Frost Faction people were vomited out, they did not wake up immediately. Everyone had a painful expression on their face, as if they had seen something terrible.

When Gao Lie and others saw such a strange scene, they looked at each other in shock, feeling chilled in their hearts.

Doudou walked towards Gao Lie and others. She clenched her fists and moved her wrists and said, "Let them go, or I will beat you all into pig heads!"

Gao Lie and others had not recovered from the shock just now, and now faced with Doudou's naked threat, Gao Lie said in a deep voice: "Let these two spiritual beasts go!"

Immediately, several Frost Sect disciples stepped forward and hurriedly used their methods, their hands trembling a little.

Soon Dahuang and Xiaodian regained their freedom. They ran towards Doudou, and everyone in the Frost Faction consciously moved out of the way.

"Little Bibei, let's go!" Doudou stopped talking to Gao Lie and the others and said to Bibei.

The horror puppet immediately swallowed Doudou and the two spiritual beasts into its stomach, and then disappeared.

Seeing that Doudou had left, the Frost Sect master who suggested eating the two spiritual beasts stammered: "She...really...really...won..."

Gao Lie stared thoughtfully at the place where the puppet disappeared, and murmured to himself: "What a special girl, I really want to know something about her..."

Everyone was speechless, feeling helpless at this senior brother's audacity.

Gao Lie quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice, "Go and see them!"

Then everyone came to the Frost Faction people who were already lying down in a large area.

At this moment, a man sat up on the ground. His majestic face still had a frightened expression. This man was Liu Wannian, the leader of the Frost Sect.

"Master!" Upon seeing this, Gao Lie and others immediately stepped forward to help Liu Wannian up.

The head of the Frost Sect had a complicated expression. He sighed and said, "I seem to have had a nightmare that I can't remember. This girl Doudou is as powerful as a saint. Uncle Yue is not in the sect. If it weren't for her, I was merciful and did not kill anyone. Today is the day when my Frost Sect will be wiped out..."

Although they had already guessed Doudou's strength, these Frost Sect disciples all took a breath of cold air when hearing the leader's words in person.

While speaking, several elders and many sect elders also woke up one after another, their expressions were solemn.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

After a while, there were already people standing outside the Frost Sect’s secret territory.

Liu Wannian gave an order and everyone returned to the secret realm.

After everyone entered the secret realm, Liu Wannian not only asked people to repair the entrance of the cave, but also issued a hush-hush order. No one from the Frost Sect could tell outsiders what happened on this day.

Chu Zhongan and Ji Ling'er walked in the Yongdao for a long time, and their hearts became heavier and heavier.

"Ling'er, do you feel anything is wrong?" Chu Zhongan suddenly asked.

Ji Linger's face looked a little ugly, and her voice was slightly weak as she said: "The front seems to be stirring something in my body, and it's a little cold. I feel unspeakably uncomfortable."

In fact, whether it's inside a cave or a tunnel, it's far less cold than the snowy mountains outside.

, but there is a bone-deep coldness here that makes people feel uncomfortable.

Chu Zhongan affirmed: "If I am not wrong, it is our souls that are moving in front of us!" His condition was much better than Ji Ling'er, but he could also detect that strange power.

Ji Ling'er looked shocked and said: "Soul? Is there a Qinghe God Master ahead who is causing trouble?"

Chu Zhongan shook his head slightly and said: "The Daxue Mountain is in a special location. I don't think Qinghe's hands can reach here."

"That's strange. What on earth is this place related to the mysterious power of the soul..." Ji Ling'er looked confused.

Chu Zhongan held Ji Ling'er's hand and squeezed it slightly. He said resolutely: "Now that you have come, let's make peace with it. Let's move forward!"

Ji Linger felt the warmth of Chu Zhongan's hand, her heart warmed, and her steps became firmer.

After walking for another distance, the blue-grey light became brighter and brighter. Chu Zhongan quickened his pace and said, "Ling'er, let's go quickly, the corridor is almost at the end!"

Ji Ling'er said nothing and just followed Chu Zhongan silently. Her face became increasingly pale.

The corridor finally reached the end. Chu Zhongan very carefully probed forward. When he saw that there was nothing unusual, he pulled Ji Linger out of the corridor.

Unlike the long and narrow corridor, this place is very wide and you can't see the end at a glance.

As soon as I stepped out of the corridor, I saw a huge stone door, which was engraved with countless complex and mysterious symbols and patterns.

There are three large characters above the stone gate, but Chu Zhongan and the other two do not recognize them, and these characters seem to have been damaged by someone with a sharp weapon. They are full of gaps and cracks. The characters seem to contain some kind of power, but it may be because of the incompleteness. That power has long since dissipated.

There are two corpses on both sides of the stone door. These two people have been dead for an unknown number of years, and their flesh and blood have long been gone.

Chu Zhongan signaled Ji Ling'er to stay where he was, and he carefully stepped forward to check. His movements were cautious, for fear of something strange happening.

He was surprised to find that the two white bones did not look like human bones. They both had double horns on their heads, and there was a faint golden light shining on the white bones.

The gun-shaped weapons beside the two corpses have long since decayed, but these bones are still as warm as jade, and there is no trace of the passage of time.

Chu Zhongan raised his head and looked behind the stone gate. There was a path there. It was not long and connected to a stone bridge. The blue-gray light at the end of the corridor was emitted by this bridge. Both the path and the stone bridge were filled with fog. He could clearly see Feel that your soul is being pulled by the power of the bridge.

Under the stone bridge is a wide river. The river water is not water, but a kind of yellow mud. When Chu Zhongan saw the appearance of the river water, he showed a thoughtful expression, as if he had thought of something.

I don't know when, both sides of the river bank were full of flowers, but at this time the flowers had already lost their vitality. The flowers, stems and leaves were completely withered and dark, exuding a rotten smell.

Neither of them noticed that there was a flower here that was not exactly the same as the others. Although it was also withered, its vitality was not cut off.

When Ji Linger saw that Chu Zhongan was fine, she also stepped forward.

Seeing such a strange scene, Ji Linger covered her mouth in shock.

Chu Zhongan frowned and walked towards the stone bridge, but he did not walk onto the stone bridge immediately.

"Zhong An, this place is too weird. It's better not to go up there. Let's find another way out!" Ji Linger shouted quickly.

Chu Zhongan didn't say anything. He took a step forward and stepped on the stone bridge.

His face turned pale, and huge beads of sweat dripped from his cheeks.

The foot that had fallen halfway was finally taken back by him.

Ji Ling'er was so anxious that she almost cried. She rushed to Chu Zhongan's side and said, "Zhongan, are you okay?"

Chu Zhongan shook his head gently and said: "I'm fine, don't go on the bridge!"

When Ji Ling'er saw Chu Zhongan's appearance, she naturally wouldn't make any decisions, so she nodded obediently.

Chu Zhongan took Ji Linger back to the corridor, then sat cross-legged and adjusted his breathing.

Ji Linger stared at Chu Zhongan with a worried expression. She had

Somewhat at a loss.

After a while, Chu Zhongan's expression recovered a little, and he opened his eyes with a solemn expression.

Ji Linger asked anxiously: "Zhong An, what just happened?"

Chu Zhongan said solemnly: "You and I can't cross this stone bridge. I have tried it just now. As long as you step on the stone bridge, your soul will leave the body, and it will be difficult for gods to save you!"

Ji Ling'er's eyes widened, and then she said seriously: "You are not allowed to put yourself in danger again!"

Chu Zhongan squeezed out a smile and said: "It doesn't matter, I have a sense of propriety, you didn't look at me and I didn't dare to step on it directly!"

"That won't work either!" Ji Linger pouted and said arrogantly.

"Okay, okay, I'll pay attention next time!" Chu Zhongan said helplessly.

Ji Ling'er looked at the mud-like river water and said, "Since there is no way to walk on the bridge, and you can't fly here, should we wade across the river?"

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

Chu Zhongan smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know what this mud is?"

Ji Ling'er frowned and said, "I have never seen this thing before, but it seems to have some impression. Do you recognize it?"

Chu Zhongan nodded and said: "Not long ago, I saw the mud and flowers with my own eyes, but what I saw at that time were just shadows, and the flowers did not look like they were withering..."

"What on earth are these?" Ji Linger asked even more confused.

Chu Zhongan looked at the scene in front of him, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Guimen Pass, Huangquan Road, Naihe Bridge and Bianhuahua, isn't this the underworld, or the place of reincarnation!"

Ji Ling'er had an expression of disbelief when she heard this. She was so surprised that she didn't speak for a moment. Knowing that the mud was the legendary Huangquan, she never wanted to try to cross the river again.

Chu Zhongan did not continue speaking. He knew that Ji Linger needed time to digest the news.

After a while, Ji Linger's mood recovered a little.

"Zhong An, is this really the legendary underworld? Do immortals really exist?" Ji Linger's tone was a little excited.

Very few people in the world believe in the existence of immortals, and Ji Ling'er is no exception. Suddenly seeing the legendary place of reincarnation will inevitably overturn their understanding.

"There is an elder in my family who is involved in the practice of reincarnation. The aura emitted by the reincarnation gun he used is almost exactly the same as this place. Even if this place is not the underworld, it is inseparable from reincarnation. As for the immortal, there is one in Jin'an now..."

Although they have been traveling with Doudou and the others for more than ten days, Doudou did not restrict Chu Zhongan's freedom. After learning about Huang Xin, Chu Zhongan already knew about the Immortal Luck Stone.

"The way of reincarnation, the underworld, immortals..." The corners of Ji Linger's mouth twitched. What Chu Zhongan said were all legendary things. A sense of unreality swept through her body, and she felt like she was dreaming.

Chu Zhongan smiled and said: "I know it may be difficult for you to accept, but I can tell you that immortals exist, at least they once existed, but now there are no immortals. Have you not seen the legendary Yin Cao in charge of reincarnation in the immortal world? The underworld is already so dilapidated..."

Although he was smiling, there was an unconcealable look of worry in his eyes.

Ji Ling'er saw the abnormality in Chu Zhongan's expression, and she said uneasily: "Zhongan, if this is a real underworld, how could a living person break in? Is there no way we can get out..."

Chu Zhongan put on a confident look and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way. Didn't the Taoist who served Daoshan say, I am the son of destiny, how can I die so easily!"

Although her reason told Ji Ling'er that what Chu Zhongan said might not be right, she still believed Chu Zhongan unconditionally, and she also knew about the Destiny Son, so what Chu Zhongan said was not unreasonable.

"Ling'er, wait for me here. I'll explore along the river to see if I can find a way to cross the bridge." Chu Zhongan said with a relaxed look.

Ji Ling'er was a little worried, but seeing Chu Zhongan's confident look, she didn't say much and just said softly: "I'll wait for you!"

Chu Zhongan took the white ink gun from his back and swept it at the withered Bianhua flowers. These completely decayed flowers immediately turned into ashes with a little force.

"It seems that these Bibi flowers have long lost their power!" Chu Zhongan felt happy, and he kept taking action to destroy all the Bibi flowers that blocked his way.

As Chu Zhongan walked, he cleared away the withered Bianhua flowers along the road. He did not realize that when one of the flowers broke, it did not dissipate. Instead, it turned into powder and floated to the Naihe Bridge, and then slowly reunited.

Neither Chu Zhongan nor Ji Linger noticed this sudden change immediately.

Ji Ling'er has slowly adapted to the environment here. Although the pull on the soul is still there and the cold atmosphere is still unbearable, her condition has improved a lot. She sat in front of the corridor and watched Chu Zhongan leave from a distance back view.

Suddenly, not far away, a slender petal shimmering with light floated over like Ji Ling'er. This was the petal of the other side flower.

"Zhong An, why are you back so soon?" Ji Ling'er asked in confusion as she looked at the petals. In her eyes, this floating petal was exactly the image of Chu Zhongan.

"I suddenly woke up. Today, I don't know if you and I can survive. I can't care about Taozi anymore. Now I just want to be with you!" Chu Zhongan, who transformed into petals, said with affection on his face, He immediately embraced Ji Linger into his arms.

Ji Ling'er was a little confused by the sudden happiness. She buried her head deeply into "Chu Zhongan"'s arms.

"Ling'er, I suddenly thought of a way to cross the Naihe Bridge. This is what my elders taught me. It's absolutely reliable. Let's try it!"

Ji Ling'er believed in "Chu Zhongan's" words so much that she was actually taken away by "Chu Zhongan".

When the two came to the Naihe Bridge, "Chu Zhongan" said with an encouraging expression: "Come on, Ling'er, let's go together!" As he said this, he pulled Ji Ling'er towards the stone bridge.

However, Ji Linger did not move.

"Chu Zhongan" noticed something unusual, he turned around and said in surprise: "Ling'er, let's go quickly. This method can only pass the Naihe Bridge safely if you are fast enough. If you hesitate any longer, it will be too late!"

However, Ji Linger still did not move forward, she even took a step back.

"Chu Zhongan" pulled hard but could not pull the petite Ji Linger.

Ji Ling'er said with a gloomy face: "Don't waste your efforts. You are not him. He will never give up on Tao Muyao and choose to be with me. This is one of the reasons why I like him."

"When it comes to life and death, how can I miss other women? Is it wrong that I just want to be with you now?" Chu Zhongan, who transformed into petals from the other shore, said with deep affection.

Ji Ling'er laughed at herself and said, "I wish I could hear this from him, but you are not him after all. If he finds a way to cross the Naihe Bridge, he will never take me on the adventure with him. He will bear it alone!" "

"My method of crossing the bridge can only be done at the same time. There is a big danger on the bridge. If one of them crosses first and leaves the other behind, the consequences will be disastrous." "Chu Zhongan" said with a sincere face, his words mixed with emotion. Something threatening.

Ji Ling'er still had a cold face and said, "I have already decided that you are not him. There is no point in making excuses. How could he not be able to pull me away with his body!"

"Chu Zhongan" said hurriedly: "I feel sorry for you. How can you distrust me so much and keep saying that you like me? It's nonsense!" His tone became more and more fierce.

Ji Ling'er took out the long whip from her waist and said, "Who are you? Or are you even a human being?"

"Chu Zhongan" showed a cold smile and said: "We have already come here, why don't you just take a step towards Naihe Bridge? It will save me more effort. Such good fertilizer has not been available for many years." I’ve seen it before!”

This figure gradually distorted, became very ferocious and terrifying, and then dissipated.

When Ji Ling'er saw "Chu Zhongan" disappear, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the withered Bana flower not far away from her peripheral vision.

The Bianhua flower was swaying gently at this moment, as if it would collapse at any time. As the flower swayed,

The movement made bursts of rustling sounds, like crazy laughter, and like a woman crying. This scene was very strange.

Ji Ling'er seemed to be facing a formidable enemy. She swung her whip while retreating sharply. In the single-round realm, Ji Ling'er's strength was still higher than that of Chu Zhongan. She whipped out with such power that the withered Bianhua flowers on the ground were immediately beaten into pieces.鑑粉.

Before Ji Ling'er could breathe a sigh of relief, the shattered Bianhuahua was reorganized on the spot.

After a few swayings, the dark and decaying Bianhua flower flickered with light, and two more slender petals floated out.

Ji Ling'er's expression was solemn. The long whip in her hand shone with a faint halo and accurately hit two petals of light and shadow, but it was useless.

The attack was not effective yet, so Ji Ling'er had no choice but to continue retreating towards the entrance of the corridor.

The two petals did not float towards Ji Ling'er. When she went to look for them again, the petals had disappeared.

"The legendary Biangan flower can calm the mind and calm the soul. Now it seems that this flower has more than these abilities. It can also confuse people's hearts. I just don't know why it attacked me. Could it be me?"
