Chapter 674 The Vanished Bell Banquet
Zhong Ran activated her Eye of Illusion and whispered, "There's another illusionary formation inside. The reason we didn't encounter Xiao Yan before must have been because we were separated by the formation."
"There's a barrier and a concealment array over there, it looks very mysterious. Could it be a passage to the underworld? Could the little banquet have gone there?"
The two exchanged a glance and both felt that this explanation was more plausible.
Zhong Ran pulled him through the concealment array, and the feeling inside was different again. A cold wind blew, as if they had arrived in the underworld.
The mountain in front is steep and very high, with a narrow mountain path that resembles a sliver of sky.
"Sure enough, there's traces of Xiao Yan here; he's been here before."
After passing through the hidden and anonymous array, she immediately sensed Xiao Yan's presence.
But no one was seen.
It now appears that Xiao Yan did enter this place, but his presence cannot be sensed from the outside, suggesting that he was likely erased by the aura of death.
"Xiao Yan." She sensed him carefully and also used spiritual energy to transmit her voice to call him.
But there was no response.
"Can bloodline sensing detect his whereabouts?" Mu Jinning asked quickly when she noticed her expression change slightly.
Zhong Ran shook her head: "I can't sense it."
"Could it be that he's really no longer in this world?"
Mu Jinning looked at her, her eyes shining: "Ranran, shall we go and give it a try?"
"Okay, let's go and give it a try."
If Zhong Yan really did go to the underworld, then they had no choice but to go and try their luck.
However, the two searched the vicinity and the narrow path leading to the narrow passage for two whole days, but still couldn't find the so-called entrance or exit.
As for Zhong Yan's whereabouts? They haven't been found either.
That brat just vanished into thin air; we can't find him no matter how hard we look.
Zhong Ran had been using her Eye of Illusion to observe for a long time, looking inside and out, even inside the mountain walls, but still couldn't find any clues.
Little Ding and Little Qingtian couldn't stand it any longer and came out of the space.
"Crossing boundaries is not easy. For example, to reach the Underworld, you either need to be powerful enough to break through the boundary to get there."
"Either you have a special opportunity like that kid, or you shouldn't even think about it."
Every world has its own barriers. Does she think they can overcome them with their current strength?
Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning exchanged a glance, then hesitantly asked, "So, we're going to have to part ways with Xiao Yan?"
Little Qingtian stood with his hands behind his back, his head slightly tilted back, looking inscrutable.
"Everyone has their own opportunities, and his opportunities are mostly in that world. You should learn to let go."
Zhong Ran felt ashamed. Was she unwilling to let go? She was just worried about him.
"Didn't you say there were some immortals over there? Wouldn't it be very dangerous for him to go there now?"
"Danger and opportunity coexist; haven't you heard that saying?"
Zhong Ran glared at the brat; he was quite arrogant.
"Alright, since he will have his own opportunities, let's go too."
Guessing that Zhong Yan might have left this world, Zhong Ran didn't press the matter further.
Xiao Qingtian is right. Everyone has their own destiny. If his destiny lies in that world, then they will naturally help him achieve it.
"Little Qingtian, sense if there are any opportunities or hidden gems inside."
Little Sky grumbled, "How would I know?"
Mu Jinning took her hand and said softly, "Alright, this is probably the very center of the place. We can't explore any deeper secrets anyway, so let's go out."
Zhong Ran nodded slightly, a glint of light flashing in her eyes: "I wonder how that old woman is doing now?"
Mu Jinning frowned as well: "Let's sneak over and take a look. If she's seriously injured, we'll beat her while she's down."
If the other party is not injured, they should probably keep their distance.
Although he has now advanced to the Void Refinement Realm, it's only been a short time, and he hasn't even cultivated his clone yet.
Although the two of them were quite strong, their opponent was a peak-level expert in the Fusion Realm, far stronger than them.
Some abilities shouldn't be used recklessly.
Zhong Ran shared the same idea, leading him out in the direction they had come from.
The old woman was previously entangled by a Netherworld Beast formed from the aura of death, which must have been of similar strength to her.
Moreover, the environment at the time was extremely unfavorable for the old woman, and the possibility of her getting injured was still very high.
But later, she devoured all the deathly energy within, and she wasn't sure if the old woman had also cried for help because of it.
However, taking a quick look is acceptable. If the other party is not injured, or their injuries are not serious, but they are still very strong, then they should leave quietly.
Now that the aura of death is no longer obscuring the view, the whole scene inside can be clearly seen.
"Ranran, look over there, isn't that medicine?"
Mu Jinning pointed to the mountain wall to the side, which was also gray, but there seemed to be something different about that gray.
Zhong Ran looked over and saw a gray flower bud with a faint glow, which did look rather unusual.
The small cauldron shot out of her body in a flash and flew straight towards that direction.
It collected not only that one gray flower bud, but also a lot of gray grass and other plants.
"It seems there's something to it."
Zhong Ran hadn't yet investigated in detail what those things were or whether they were useful to them.
However, the small cauldron will be put away; it certainly won't be an ordinary item.
Xiao Ding didn't even return to her side; it flew forward on its own.
Soon, it flew back, with a powerful aura following far behind.
Zhong Ran's face darkened, and she exchanged a glance with Mu Jinning.
It was an old woman.
She's still alive.
Not only did he not die, he wasn't even injured.
She must have seen the small cauldron, recognized it as a divine artifact, and then chased after it.
A dark glint flashed in Mu Jinning's eyes, and she quickly flicked out a black object.
Zhong Ran didn't see clearly what he threw, but she quickly unleashed dozens of fist imprints.
Because she has been cultivating here a lot recently, the fist imprints she makes have all turned gray.
The old woman was staring intently at the small cauldron, seemingly unaware of the danger. She was struck by the fist imprint and sent flying backward.
Zhong Ran was taken aback. Could this old woman be fake? Is she really that fragile?
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Ding quickly returned to Zhong Ran's body, his voice anxious: "Run! The old hag has gone mad, she's possessed by a demon, and she's extremely fierce."
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhong Ran pulled Mu Jinning back and rushed towards the formation they had just encountered.
They weren't confident to begin with, let alone a powerful woman who had gone mad; how could they possibly be her match?
She was wondering how such a strong person could be hit so easily.
If he's possessed by a demon, no, to be precise, his mind has been clouded by the aura of death, causing him to become sluggish.
But soon, her movements slowed down again.
"You're saying she's possessed by a demon?"
The old woman has lost her mind; is this their chance?
