Chapter 205 This King is Going to Live Off a Woman
Seeing Helian Tanyao waver, Wu Muli continued to persuade her: "Besides, the princess's Gu technique is superb. If the snake Gu doesn't work, we can think of other Gu techniques. Surely one of them can subdue him."
"When the Gu worms and reinforcements suppress each other, even if Zhai Sangjie is a god, he will not be able to escape the princess's grasp."
Helian Tanyao looked at the battlefield. The Nan Sang army had suffered heavy casualties, but the Longyan soldiers seemed to be getting more and more energetic as they fought.
I don't know what got into them.
She gritted her teeth, her unwilling gaze falling on Zhai Sangjie: "Fine! This princess will listen to you this time! Let's go back and study new Gu techniques, and once the reinforcements arrive, we'll come back to capture him!"
*
Haimu City, Kunwu Mountain.
Jun Ce put his arm around Zhai Rongyu's waist and landed in front of a cave.
"Ah Xu! There's a cave here!"
Zhai Rongyu's eyes lit up. Her feet had barely touched the ground, and before she could even steady herself, she pointed to the cave entrance and said, "We really came at the right time!"
She leaned against Jun Ce's chest, tilted her head back, and smiled.
The tiny, pearly teeth shimmered and glowed in the moonlight, making them exceptionally adorable.
Jun Ce looked at her with amusement, his voice filled with affection, "I came to check in beforehand."
I only dared to bring her here if there was no danger.
Zhai Rong stuck out her tongue.
I knew it! That's why we came straight here.
She was slightly surprised. "You found the former city lord's treasure?"
Jun Ce walked to the cave entrance, pulled aside a few clumps of vines that were obscuring it, and gestured for Zhai Rong to go in. "It's not exactly a treasure, but there are things you'll like."
He tilted his head and smiled faintly.
His deep features softened in the moonlight. It was the first time Zhai Rongyu had seen him smile like that, and her heart began to race, her face flushing.
Seeing that she was staring blankly at him without saying a word, Jun Ce waved his hand in front of her eyes.
"Rong'er?"
"What are you thinking about?"
Zhai Rongyu suddenly came to her senses and secretly stuck out her tongue.
This is so embarrassing...
[I was completely mesmerized by Ah Xu...]
She fled into the cave as if escaping.
Jun Ce paused for a moment, then smiled and bent down to follow him inside.
The cave was pitch black, and Zhai Rongyu dared not light the talisman.
There might be a gunpowder mine hidden here; if an open flame is lit, it could be destroyed by a single mishap.
"Rong'er, take out the water-repelling pearl," Jun Ce said.
"Water-repelling beads?"
Zhai Rongyu paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and pulled out the bead made of dragon's roar stone from her bag. "Did you give me this one?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she opened her mouth in surprise and exclaimed.
"Ah Xu! This bead glows!"
Its radiance even surpassed that of a luminous pearl.
The cave, which had been pitch black just moments before, suddenly became brightly lit.
Zhai Rongyu held the beads and excitedly looked them up and down around.
These beads have so many functions!
She mentally imitated the water-repelling bead, staging a mini-drama.
Hi Hi~
I'm just an ordinary, unremarkable sphere.
Jun Ce looked down at the jubilant girl in front of him, a faint smile appearing in his eyes and brows.
"Let's go, there's even more fun inside."
Zhai Rong followed Jun Ce for a long time, passing through a dark secret passage, and finally saw a mine tunnel that shimmered with a faint light, like a giant dragon winding through the cave.
As you venture deeper into the mine, the light becomes increasingly dazzling.
"The treasures of Haimu City are truly astonishing," Zhai Rongyu exclaimed.
If such a long vein of ore were all mined and used to make gunpowder, what a disaster that would be!
The Cang family's decision to keep this mine secret and not exploit it can be considered a good deed.
Otherwise, countless lives would have been lost.
Jun Ce led Zhai Rongyu to a wall. "The secret that the Cang family has been guarding is right here."
He channeled his inner strength, and a stone door gradually appeared in the wall.
"Is there an array set up here?" Zhai Rongyu noticed something was wrong when she saw him use spiritual power.
Jun Ce nodded.
"When I came here to investigate before, I didn't find the stone gate. I only found this place by using my spiritual power."
If he wasn't mistaken, the spirit stone in Cang Zhihe's hand could probably open this door as well.
The power of lightning surged, and the stone door slowly opened.
A thick fog filled the entrance.
Jun Ce took Zhai Rongyu's hand and stepped inside. Before long, the fog dissipated, and Zhai Rongyu found herself standing in the mountains.
"Have we returned to Kunwu Mountain?" she asked Jun Ce.
Jun Ce shook his head and pointed to the two roads in front of him, "Neither of these leads to the human realm."
[Not in the human realm?]
Zhai Rongyu looked at the two forks in the road in front of her.
The road on the left ends in a gray haze, as if shrouded in heavy fog, and there is not a sound, making it look somewhat eerie and terrifying.
The road to the right seems to have a light at the end, and you can faintly hear sounds coming from it; it sounds quite lively.
“This…” She looked at Jun Ce.
Jun Ce smiled and gently patted the top of her head.
"On the left, there is a cliff. I don't know what place it is, but there is a stone tablet with the words 'Guixu' written on it."
"The Ruins of Return?" Zhai Rongyu was stunned for a moment. "So it was here all along."
"Rong'er recognizes this place?"
Zhai Rong loosened the ribbon around her waist and looked at Jun Ce with a serious expression: "Guixu is a bottomless valley in the sea, a place where all waters converge. It is very likely that this place leads to the Dragon Clan!"
Jun Ce glanced coldly at the end of the road.
“However…” Zhai Rongyu looked at him with some worry, “Most of those who enter the Ruins of Return lose their souls and cannot return.”
"Why?" Jun Ce asked, puzzled.
Since it is a place where all waters converge, if you fall in, at most you will be swept away by the waves. How could someone with spiritual power be completely annihilated?
Zhai Rongyu shook her head, a solemn look flashing deep in her eyes.
"When all the waters converge, the spiritual energy accumulated over tens of thousands of years forms a natural array on the seabed."
"Legend has it that there are two formations, Yin and Yang. One is the Ruins of Return, and the other is the Crimson Abyss."
"If you fall in, you could be swept into the abyss of evil with the slightest carelessness."
I've heard my master talk about how powerful the Demon Abyss is.
The demons inside are trapped at the bottom of the abyss, unable to escape for their entire lives. Each one has accumulated resentment over tens of thousands of years, and none of them are to be trifled with.
Therefore, it is extremely dangerous inside.
Jun Ce raised his eyelashes. "I've heard that the Crimson Abyss is a place where cultivators prove their Dao."
Those who emerge from the Crimson Abyss are undoubtedly among the strongest in the world.
Zhai Rongyu nodded.
"Those who dare to go to the Crimson Abyss to prove their Dao are all people who have great confidence in their abilities, but have been unable to break through."
"But eight or nine out of ten times, they never come back."
In Zhai Rongyu's view, those who jump into the abyss are no different from gamblers; only those who are desperate would choose such an extreme way to rapidly increase their cultivation.
Zhai Rongyu looked at Jun Ce and asked cautiously, "Does A Xu have such ambitions?"
Jun Ce looked down at her, his eyes seemingly filled with a sky full of stars.
"Rong'er, have you forgotten? I'm going to be a kept man."
He raised his hand and pinched her face.
"With my queen protecting me, why should I be a powerful figure in this world?"
He didn't want her to worry.
He wouldn't do anything risky unless it was for her.
Zhai Rongyu smiled and slapped his hand away, but she breathed a sigh of relief. She pointed to the road on the right and asked Jun Ce.
"And what about the other side? What place is that?"
