Chang Xiao can still find a way where the sky pillar's light cannot shine.
His expression was calm, his steps were firm, and he walked quickly through the darkness with warmth.
Wen Guying followed and looked at the surrounding scenery. A layer of heavy gray clouds enveloped the sky, and the exposed ground was cracked and crisscrossed. Apart from the occasional scattered stones, there were shadows floating everywhere, erratic and coming from nowhere.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Wen Guying broke the silence and asked, "How do you know where to go?"
His voice was as ethereal as blue smoke amidst the layers of echoes.
"I've been walking like this," Chang Xiao replied. He explained: "After I left Wochizhong, I realized that it was not like this outside. The road continues from here to there. But here, no, the road here is It’s not a continuation, but... I disappeared from here, so I will appear there, that’s probably what it feels like.”
"That's it." Wen Guying said.
"She also walked like this." Chang Xiao said: "She may have been born in Wochi, because if you get used to the road outside first, it will be difficult to accept this feeling."
"Indeed, although I can detect some differences, my first reaction is to split it open and take a look." Wen Guying said.
"Also, I feel..." Chang Xiao recalled the scene when the half-demon snatched him away. He said, "I feel that she is more accustomed to walking in the dark. She is a little afraid of the Tianzhu light."
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
"I didn't know how to get here before. In fact, it was the same, except that the road in the darkness was more unstable. And when she brought me here from Tianzhu, she took some detours... She, she seemed..." Chang Xiao expressed his guess, "I think she deliberately avoided the area that can be illuminated by the sky pillar."
He said: "It's daytime now, maybe you can't notice the difference. But for me, the difference between the two is very clear, and I think it is also for her."
"If she is really the descendant of the monster beast sealed here, then she may have been born in the sealed place, so she is naturally afraid of the Tianzhu light," Wen Guying speculated.
They gradually went deeper and darker. Wen Guying noticed that they were walking downwards. He stopped and looked at Chang Xiao's back for a while. When he stepped to another point, he followed him.
After crossing over, even Wen Guying felt his eyes darken. He focused his eyes and saw that they seemed to have entered a large building.
Surrounded by dark low walls, the road became narrow, winding and endless. There was almost no light coming in, there was a chill, the air was dry and cold.
Chang Xiao rubbed his nose a few times and suddenly smelled a foul smell.
"Sealed place." Wen Guying recognized the vague runes on the low wall and the cracks on the wall. He said, "The seal is indeed loose."
He stretched out his hand and touched the wall, feeling a layer of ice condensing on his fingertips.
"If she is inside the seal, it will probably take a while for us to get in..."
Before Wen Guying finished speaking, he heard some strange noises coming from the front.
It's a virtual spirit.
Many ethereal spirits kept pouring out from the shadows, floating towards them with their teeth and claws bared.
Wen Guying was about to take action, but found that Chang Xiao was one step ahead of him. In the darkness, Chang Xiao slashed one by one, plainly and silently, scattering the virtual spirits one by one.
Wen Guying looked at Chang Xiao wielding his sword and remembered the rumors about the general. The general was taught by an immortal in his dream and has been invincible ever since.
Chang Xiao's sword skills may seem ordinary, but the sword in his hand can indeed cause great harm to the virtual spirit. Wen Guying felt a bit of Taoism in the path of the knife.
With such sword skills, he is indeed not afraid of ordinary monsters. Even if it is a more powerful ghost, monster or monk, as long as he gets close and strikes with a knife, he may lose his life.
Wen Guying also saw that Chang Xiao had a sense of energy sinking in his chest, and during this silent battle, this energy continued to sink.
The adopted son of the general, who had always been talkative and even somewhat attentive since they met, finally showed his arrogance and temper.
Wen Guying sighed softly and took action.
With the two of them joining hands, the virtual spirit quickly dispersed completely.
In the darkness, Chang Xiao's breathing sounded a little heavy.
He felt waves of stinging pain coming from the wound on his chest, and chills kept invading his body from his wound and skin.
But he soon calmed down his breathing and continued walking forward. The stench is getting stronger and stronger, and the coldness can't be suppressed.
Wen Guying also smelled the smell. He distinguished it carefully and said, "It's the smell of monsters."
"Is it the smell of the ancient monster in the seal?" Chang Xiao asked.
"It's hard to say. I feel like there's an air of death in this smell." Wen Gu responded.
When we reached the deepest point, the road suddenly stopped. The low walls around them disappeared, and they seemed to be trapped in the fog.
Chang Xiao stopped and asked, "If the seal here is broken, will True Immortal Qingzi seal it again?" Chang Xiao asked.
"No more." Wen Guying understood what he was thinking and said: "After Master Qingzi repaired the Tianzhu, sealed the monsters and re-established Wochi, his merits have been completed. What will happen to Wochi after that is a matter for future generations. "
"Millions of years have passed, and the current Wochi, even if Immortal Qingzi comes in person, I am afraid that Wochi will not be able to change it back to its original appearance." Wen Guying looked at Chang Xiao's knife standing on the ground and said: The seal has been loosened, and even if we don't do anything, it may be completely ineffective in a few hundred years. "
He said: "Mr. Chang, we have come this far."
Chang Xiao understood Wen Guying's hint and said, "Master Wen, please help me get in."
"When it comes to sealing, I don't have much profound knowledge. Jiang Mei is not here, so I can only break mountains when encountering mountains, and split water when encountering water." Wen Guying said, and the gems on the hilt of the sword lit up and spread in the layers of mist. .
"Broken!" Wen Guying shouted.
Chang Xiao felt something crack, and then someone pushed on his right shoulder, and he was pushed into the vortex of red mist.
In an instant, the fog dissipated, and some dim light penetrated through the gaps in the stone wall.
Chang Xiao realized that he had entered the seal. He calmed down and began to look around. He seemed to be in a huge cave.
The stench became stronger and stronger.
The half-demon's stone chamber should be nearby. Chang Xiao tried to look for it, and soon he saw something standing high and low not far away. After getting closer, he found that they were eight or nine tombs of different sizes.
"Whose grave is this?" Chang Xiao asked subconsciously.
Wen Guying walked to the tomb. After looking at it for a while, he scratched the mound with his sword a few times and said, "You'll know after you take a look."
