<h4>Chapter 977: Hold Me Tightly</h4>


    From the corner of her eyes, She nced at the ce where the scene appeared earlier.


    It waspletely dark as if nothing had appeared. Other than her, nobody else knew what shocking secret happened here!


    Chu Liuyue took a deep breath in and shook away the messy thoughts in her mind. There isn’t much meaning to stay here. If I want to know everything, the best way is to ask Rong Xiu personally!


    <i>Shua!</i>


    Chu Liuyue summoned the Long Yuan Sword and held the hilt tightly! At the same time, she circted the force in her body!


    With this move, she then realized that the situation of her bodily force leaving her body was even worse than she had imagined! The Yuan meridian spread around her body was like river streams. These streams were normally very rich, but at this moment, they were more than half-dry!


    Chu Liuyue was scared.?<i>Without Ancestor, I really would’ve been in danger…</i>


    “There really is something wrong here,” said Chu Liuyue, but she was suddenly stunned. She now seemed to understand why Jian Fengchi and Qiang Wanzhou sat in their own spaces, didn’t do anything, and sent out help signals.


    She didn’t have time to go over to Jian Fengchi’s side, but Qiang Wanzhou didn’t have many superficial injuries while his internal organs were severely harmed. Furthermore, a great portion of his force was exhausted.


    <i>Perhaps… they had met the same situation as me. This strange space used some special method to make the memory trapped in a person’s mind resurface and silently cause them to faint while taking the time to absorb their force!</i>


    “Ancestor, do you know how long we have been here?” asked Chu Liuyue.


    “I can’t really confirm since the strength of the space here is different from the external world. The flow of time is also different, so it’s very hard to determine how much time has passed in the outside world.” In a difficult position, Shangguan Jing sighed.


    Chu Liuyue nodded.?<i>Actually, I had already predicted this. Now, I just hope that Mu Hongyu and the rest’s rescue goes smoother. And I… must leave this ce first!</i>


    The water droplet in her dantian gradually spun, and thick force was exuded, which rapidly surged toward Chu Liuyue’s limbs!


    The missing strength in her body was very quickly replenished, and she was strengthened again!


    If it were someone else, they would basically end up like Qiang Wanzhou.


    However, Chu Liuyue was different. That water droplet in her body had absorbed too much strength previously. With her current cultivation level, this was basically an advantage!


    <i>Whoosh!</i>


    Two sparks of fire exuded from the Long Yuan Sword—one was red, and the other was transparent!


    The light from the sparks rapidly lit up the surroundings, and the invisible forceing from the surroundings seemed to feel threatened as it rapidly got closer!


    Chu Liuyue’s body clearly felt the pressure from all directions! Her chest felt stuffy, and she almost couldn’t breathe. Even the force cirction speed in her body gradually declined!


    She clenched her teeth tightly and injected her thick force into the Long Yuan Sword! Then, she held the hilt tightly with both hands, raised it high, and brought it down heavily!


    …


    Qiang Wanzhou originally nned to go back with Chu Liuyue, but thetter’s figure instantly disappeared once he turned around.


    His surroundings were empty, and there was nothing in sight.


    Qiang Wanzhou knitted his brows and knew that he was in the same trap as before.


    The previous day, he arrived at this ce with Jian Fengchi and met with the same situation. Then, the two of them were separated, and both lost contact with each other. After that, he fell unconscious.


    He knew that he was in a very perilous situation, so he used hisst bit of rationality to smash the golden bell first before blowing the whistle.


    Luckily, he really waited until she came.


    But after a short while, the same thing happened again!


    Very quickly, Qiang Wanzhou was wrapped in darkness again!


    …


    “Young Master? Young Master? Jian Fengchi?! Quickly, wake up!” An anxious and worried scream was heard.


    Jian Fengchi gradually recovered his consciousness and opened his eyes with much difficulty. “D-don’t call anymore… C-cough, cough—I can still h-hear you…”


    Once Jian Fengchi spoke, he then realized that his voice was very weak and hoarse.


    When he thought of the previous few incidents, his gaze darkened. He turned around and saw Mu Hongyu in front of him.


    “Young Master, you’re finally awake!” Mu Hongyu’s nervous and worried expression instantly dissipated as she heaved a long sigh and patted her chest.


    When Jian Fengchi saw her in this state, his heart seemed to be lightly scratched by something as the depressed mood instantly disappeared, and an unknown light feeling circted in his chest. “Why are you so nervous? I have a very blessed life.”


    He coughed and recovered a part of his strength.


    Mu Hongyu nodded seriously. “That’s good, that’s good. If you didn’t wake up, I was nning to hit you and see if I could beat you awake.”


    <i>I just warmed up my wrists!</i>


    Jian Fengchi’s eyelids twitched. “…No need… There’s really no need…”


    It wasn’t like he didn’t know Mu Hongyu’s capabilities. If she pped him…


    Jian Fengchi suddenly felt that he was very lucky to have woken up in time. If not, this face—


    Suddenly, he stopped in his movements and tightly furrowed his brows as he looked at Mu Hongyu. “No. How did youe in?”


    I remember that Qiang Wanzhou and I were separated not long after we entered this gully. After that, I realized that something was very wrong here, so I directly crushed the golden bell. Originally, I wanted to go out as soon as possible, but I somehow fainted until Mu Hongyu rushed over.


    “Of course, we came here to save you guys!”


    “We?” Jian Fengchi surveyed his surroundings.


    They were still in the gully, but other than the two of them, there were no signs of anyone else.


    “And who else?”


    “Liuyue!” said Mu Hongyu as she sighed. “It’s a pity we’re trapped here. Hence, we don’t know what’s going on outside or if they’re safe…”


    Jian Fengchi almost suspected that he had heard wrongly, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Who did you say?”


    Mu Hongyu looked at his confused face and simply exined the entire incident to him.


    After listening, Jian Fengchi’s face was dazed for a moment.?<i>Chu Liuyue forcefully shed open Ancient Phoenix Mountain’s barrier to enter… She saved Mu Hongyu and the rest and found this ce… She even summoned her second legendary fiend to save them… How long has it been? Why did so many things happen?</i>


    Mu Hongyu didn’t bother much with his reaction as she said, “Young Master, we need to get out of here as soon as possible. If not, your current condition will be worse if you continue staying here.”


    Jian Fengchi nodded.?<i>I naturally know this very clearly, but…</i>


    “How do we go out?”


    The turbulence in this space was terrifyingly messy. Every single time he thought that he was going to get out, he would be pushed back.


    Mu Hongyu patted her chest, and her almond-like eyes curved up. “Did you forget that I have a Faint Yuan Body? Leave it to me!”


    As she spoke, she stood up and extended her hand toward Jian Fengchi to help him up. Then, she said, “Hold me tight.”


    Jian Fengchi’s heart suddenly skipped a beat!
