<h4>Chapter 1388: Truth</h4>
Rong Xiu paused in his tracks and tried to stabilize the tumbling aura in his body. His expression only became more rxed when he looked down and saw that Chu Liuyue didn’t seem to be affected by this.
After a while, he continued walking forward.
Chu Liuyuey in his arms, and her expression was quiet as if she were hibernating.
Tuan Zi had already returned to the size of a palm as ity on her chest and waited quietly.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal.
The bloodstains on Rong Xiu’s clothes had long been dried by the fire, leaving behind arge patch of dark red.
His footsteps were light, and wherever he walked past, he didn’t leave any traces behind on the ground.
After walking for a distance, Rong Xiu arrived next to a gully. It was one of the nine gullies, and they were at the furthest one.
Rong Xiu carried her and flew down.
The snow didn’t continue falling, and the surrounding temperature was higher than outside. On one side of the rock wall, a gigantic dragon head was stuck to it.
Its two eyes were empty holes, and it seemed like it had lost all its soul and consciousness. Only the fresh traces on the rock and the ground showed that this dragon skeleton was still struggling to escape from this ce not too long ago.
<i>What a pity…?</i>Rong Xiu retracted his gaze and carefully ced Chu Liuyue on a rock. Then, he sat by the side.
He leaned against therge rock and bent his long legs, allowing Chu Liuyue to rest in his arms.
......
ncing at the color of her face, Rong Xiu felt more at ease. Then, he freed his hand and took out a snow-white handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth slowly.
An intense bloody aura floated over.
Rong Xiu knitted his brows, worried that the smell would trigger her.?<i>I came in too much of a hurry, so I didn’t even have the time to change my clothes. But now… I’m definitely not willing to put her aside and change my clothes.?</i>
He looked down slightly and rested on her shoulders. Closing his pair of charming and mesmerizing phoenix-like eyes, he sniffed gently.?<i>Fragrant and gentle. Even if she is covered in messy bloodstains, the smell on her body never seems to change, and it is always so rejuvenating.?</i>
Rong Xiu held Chu Liuyue with one hand while his other hand gently caressed her face with very light motions, like wind brushing past.
Chu Liuyue seemed to be tickled by his actions as she muttered something and struggled toward the outside.
Rong Xiu moved his arms and silently turned her back. This time, he didn’t dare to move casually and held her waist with that hand.?<i>I haven’t seen her in a long time, and she seems to be slimmer. I can hold her waist easily. She’s so charming when she’s sleeping quietly.?</i>
However, Rong Xiu knew that the inside of her body wasn’t calm as it looked on the surface.
His body ached faintly.?<i>That seal… should be broken soon, right??</i>
…
On the other side, with Xue Xue’s help, Elder Hua Feng and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
Of the six people from the other party, Xue Xue had settled half of them on its own. The remaining three also had injuries, so theirbat skills greatly declined.
Additionally, with the defense from the other elders, Elder Hua Feng finally had sufficient time.
He stared at the Xuan formation on the ground. It was clearly icy cold weather, but he broke out into a sweat.
His hands kept moving as he adjusted and tried to solve the Xuan formation.
Finally, at one moment, the two Xuan formations mergedpletely! Following that tiny ripple, Elder Hua Feng’s heart beat crazily!
He took a deep breath in and didn’t even blink as he tried to turn the Xuan formation around meticulously.
<i>Kada.?</i>
A crack appeared on the Xuan formation!
The Xuan formation was broken!
This sudden movement caused the few men in ck to immediately turn around. They looked shocked and enraged.
But when everyone thought that they were going to rush over and stop them, the few people suddenly had a change in gaze, and they rapidly rushed in another direction!
Their movements were very sudden, and the elders couldn’t stop them in time.
Xue Xue looked up. It was thinking of something and didn’t chase them either.
Very quickly, the few men in ck disappeared before the crowd.
<i>Boom!?</i>
A loud sound came from the ground!
Elder Hua Feng couldn’t care about those people and hurriedly retracted their gazes.
The Xuan formation on the ground was rapidly disappearing! At the same time, a crack appeared on the ground.
The thick soil started spreading toward both sides, and an entrance slowly appeared before the crowd!
When all movements had stopped on the ground surface, Elder Hua Feng saw the scene before him and couldn’t help but gasp. Even if he had made sufficient mental preparations beforehand, he still couldn’t conceal his shock when he saw this scene.
Arge staircase led down floor by floor. Looking in, it was as ck as charcoal, and one couldn’t see anything.
.
Only the sharp smell of blood emerged from within! It wasn’t hard to imagine how downstairs would like
“Are Elder Bo Yan and the rest… just downstairs?” Shi Rui’er walked in closer, and her face was filled with worry.
Elder Hua Feng suppressed his emotions and boomed, “You guys stay outside first. The few of us will go in to take a look.”
Elder Dan Qing took a step forward. “I’ll go too.”
Elder Hua Feng nodded.
Everyone stood at the side and waited patiently.
Elder Dan Qing walked to the edge of the entrance and suddenly turned around to take a look.
Jiang Zhiyuan—who was standing behind the crowd—suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively looked over. With this look, she coincidentally met with Elder Dan Qing’s gaze.
Elder Dan Qing nonchntly said, “When we find Bo Yan and the others, we should… be able to ask properly what they’ve experienced during this period.”
For some reason, Jiang Zhiyuan suddenly shuddered.
