327: Chapter 65: Falling into the Well 327: Chapter 65: Falling into the Well Boom!
After the force of Shan Man’s Tao Rules shattered the Five-Colored Divine Furnace, it directly enveloped Xie Xuanyi and another person, plummeting straight toward a tiny spot at the heart of the ancient city!
The entire Great Yue Kingdom was laid out in a orderly grid, extremely similar in design to the Great Chu Imperial City.
Only…
There was no imperial palace here!
The very core was this Great Yue Well!
The azure light dissipated.
Xie Xuanyi staggered slightly, and once he steadied himself and saw clearly the scene before him, his complexion turned somewhat pale.
“This is…
the Great Yue Well?”
Before him was a giant black well with a diameter of at least dozens of yards!
Xie Xuanyi had never expected that the legendary Great Yue Well would be as vast as a lake, so broad and fathomless, and that it emitted an invisible Magic Power that lured people in.
Standing at the edge of the well, even he felt a wave of vertigo.
Xie Xuanyi took two steps back.
“Whimper…”
The sound of a tearful sob began to rise at his ear.
Qing Li, held tightly in Xie Xuanyi’s arms, clenched her fists and pounded at the spot on Xie Xuanyi’s shoulder, the little one’s face soaked with tears, looking toward the direction the azure light had vanished.
Xie Xuanyi’s expression was complicated.
Shan Man was but a “mortal” body.
Burning life to unleash the power of Tao Rules…
that was an act of Immortal Trace!
Her life was flickering out, like the last glimmers of a dying lamp.
Now with the azure light gone and the Tao Rules burned out, it meant her life had also reached its end.
“…”
Xie Xuanyi didn’t speak to console her, simply patting the little girl’s back gently.
He too had gone through departures and death…
at such times, any words were pale.
The sobbing persisted for a short while.
Xie Xuanyi’s expression grew solemn as he looked into the distance.
After being transported here by Shan Man’s Tao Rules, his Heart Lake was not at peace; the structures within the core of the Great Yue Kingdom’s main city were remarkably well-preserved, a stark contrast to the shattered streets outside, as if everything here was gilded by time.
Perhaps because he held the Protective Stone Talisman.
No murderous intent descended upon him.
But Xie Xuanyi could feel…
a murderous aura from afar rapidly closing in.
Shan Man had forcibly shattered the Five-Colored Divine Furnace with the power of Tao Rules.
Prince Jiu would not let this go easily.
For someone with the power of a Yin God Peak, entering the Great Yue Well was just a matter of time.
So…
Was this unease solely from Prince Jiu?
No.
Xie Xuanyi could sense a foreboding presence fast approaching from the north.
Perhaps sensing this crisis as well, Qing Li, the little girl, took a deep breath, got her emotions under control, wiped her cheeks forcefully, and gestured for Xie Xuanyi to approach the Great Yue Well again.
Xie Xuanyi stood at the edge of the well once more.
He gazed into the depthless darkness below.
Amidst the profound gloom…
Familiar memories flickered through his mind.
Several years ago.
Merely a fleeting glimpse, his Divine Thought had travelled through several layers of Secret Realms, coincidentally landing within this well…
He had seen the Divine Fruit enveloped in swirling Gang Qi in the void.
This time.
Years later.
The same scene resurfaced in his mind.
The waters of the Great Yue Well rippled, reflecting the pitch-black void, along with that trembling, resplendent golden fruit.
Decades had passed.
That fruit, compared to back then, had grown more mature and even more tempting.
“Sigh…”
Xie Xuanyi shook his head and hurriedly averted his gaze.
He noticed the innocent and clean gaze of Qing Li, the little girl on his shoulder.
Qing Li, like him, was also watching the Great Yue Well.
Xie Xuanyi was curious and asked softly, “What did you see?”
“…”
The little mute girl remained silent for a moment, then shook her head and responded with gestures.
Inside the well.
There was nothing.
She only saw pitch darkness.
Xie Xuanyi felt a bit disappointed; he didn’t know what vision reflected by the Great Yue Well meant, but according to Shan Man, it was supposed to mirror the observer’s greatest wish.
Qing Li patted Xie Xuanyi on the shoulder.
She pointed to herself, then to Xie Xuanyi, and finally towards the direction where the azure light had faded and was no more: “I saw many people, there’s me, there’s you, there’s Shan Man, and there’s Mu Niu and the others…”
Xie Xuanyi’s gaze softened.
Perhaps.
Qing Li, who had not yet faced the “Heavenly Person’s Five Declines” two lifetimes ago, might have seen a different vision.
But in this life.
The ones she cared about most were still the people by her side.
Just as Xie Xuanyi was about to say something…
A whooshing sound of wind sped from the far end.
“?”
Xie Xuanyi squinted and looked up to see a figure in red, engulfed in fiery light, drawing a long streak that ripped through the void, piercing through the main city, shattering dozens of buildings, and racing towards the Great Yue Well!
The figure had a pale complexion, clutching a crimson shadow tightly in her arms!
Faint dragon cries echoed out!
It was none other than Ao Ying!
The crimson shadow she held tightly was the “Red Dragon Fortune,” extracted from Xie Sheng’s body.
At the same time, the sense of crisis Xie Xuanyi had felt earlier from the north was also quickly approaching!
Clearly.
Ao Ying was being pursued by Master Chong Kan; she had desperately activated the Chi Ling City Secret Treasure “Feng Mou,” tearing through the void in an attempt to escape from the hands of this Yang God Great Perfected’s remnant thought.
Such a high-level Secret Treasure was naturally difficult to control.
Ao Ying had long wanted to escape to the Great Yue Well!
But “Feng Mou” had developed Spirit Wisdom and only now brought her to this place!
“There’s no time to explain, jump now!”
Upon seeing Xie Xuanyi, Ao Ying, through her Divine Thought, spoke hastily.
Almost the moment her Divine Thought reached him,
Xie Xuanyi saw that towering, fluttering black figure appearing above the main city – the oppressive presence of Master Chong Kan’s remnant thought was immense, far beyond the comparison of ordinary Yin Gods like Centurions!
Without any hesitation, he held Qing Li tightly and jumped into the Great Yue Well!
