320 Primordial Soul Pearl (2/2)
”Let me settle that brat first. He will be a scourge if kept alive.” Mo Wen glanced at Jiang Mingxun, who had been on the ground faking death all the while. The corner of his mouth curved into a cold smile. This brat was rather smart. He even knew how to fake death to avoid attention.
However, because this brat was so sly, it was all the more reason not to let him live. Otherwise, he would sooner or later be a problem.
Seemingly understanding Mo Wen's words, Jiang Mingxun jumped up from the ground in an instant, no longer faking death. He stared at Mo Wen in great fear, waving his hands continuously. ”Don't kill me… don't kill me… I can help you guys…”
He didn't want to die. His life had just begun. With his talents, he would surely have high achievements in the future. How could he be satisfied to die in this underground palace?
”Enough with your nonsense.” Mo Wen waved his hand with a stern face. A golden light appeared in front of Jiang Mingxun, hovering over him in an instant. Jiang Mingxun screamed in terror, jumping up from the ground and dashing fanatically towards the outside, but he couldn't escape Mo Wen's attack. The next moment, he gave a blood-curdling scream, and a few beams of Qi of Sword sliced him into seven or eight pieces in an instant. Golden flame stuck onto his flesh, burning his broken body to ashes.
”Now what?” Gong Biluo glanced at Mo Wen. With the current situation, they were in a dilemma of either advancing or retreating. After all, they had no idea where they were. It was hard to say whether they could make it out. Even now, her heart was still fluttering with fear from having been trapped in the prohibitions previously.
However, Mo Wen seemed to have some understanding of all those mysterious things. At least he knew far more than she did, so at the moment, she also hoped that Mo Wen knew of a way out.
”What way can there be? We can only proceed with caution. If we can't leave, then both of us will most likely still be unable to escape the fate of becoming a pair of dying lovebirds.” Mo Wen walked towards Gong Biluo with a smile and hugged her shamelessly.
Regrettably, he had barely hugged her for two seconds when Gong Biluo pushed him away. ”Who wants to be a pair of dying lovebirds with you? Go and play with yourself on that side.” She rolled her eyes at Mo Wen. He could still be so cheeky. It was not the time for that now.
”Speaking of this, can you two not display your affection in public? Can you please consider others' feelings? Now that we are trapped here, we have to find a way to get out, right?” Jun Wulei stared at Mo Wen and Gong Biluo helplessly. How could they still be in the mood to flirt now? Furthermore, the current Gong Biluo was miles apart from the Gong Biluo that he knew. Could it be that this was the change from her encountering her nemesis?
”Guard yourself. Who is staying with you? You can go as you please.” Gong Biluo's facial expression chilled instantaneously. She glanced at Jun Wulei, pretending to be indifferent. She was a little too self-conscious because Jun Wulei had witnessed the scene just now.
”Hello! Speaking of this, are you two preparing to ostracize me or what? I have saved your lives. Even if I don't have any prominent achievements, I still made some contributions. Now that you've met up with your lover, you want to send me away? Aren't you disloyal?” Jun Wulei felt instantly slighted. The two of them came to treasure hunt together. Now she made him feel like an outsider.
Looking at Jun Wulei's stare, Mo Wen grinned happily, not saying a word.
”Enough with the nonsense. Now, we can only look for a way out and see whether we can get out of here.” Gong Biluo coldly snorted, taking the initiative to suggest an idea.
”Follow me. Our fate depends on whether we can leave.” Mo Wen seemingly pointed towards a passageway at random. There were passageways everywhere around the palace, but they only needed to take one.
This palace looked a little like a place to assess the disciples in a sect. Mo Wen had seen this before when he was in the Divine Pill Sect. The two had similar architectural styles. However, this underground palace had been abandoned for many years. It would surely not be simple.
Furthermore, there was another matter that he couldn't understand. There were so many Primordial Soul Pearls in this palace, and they were all gathering together. This was obviously abnormal. It was impossible for so many peerless strong people to have fallen here. That was obviously illogical.
This was most likely from all the peerless strong people who had fallen in the Dafang Sect's forbidden space. For some unknown reason, their Primordial Soul Pearls had gathered together and appeared in this palace.
The passageway that Mo Wen had pointed to was not chosen at random. Instead, he chose a relatively simple passageway based on the common sense of the immortal cultivators. As for whether his guess was right, they could only depend on fate.
Since Mo Wen volunteered to lead the way and Gong Biluo still followed beside him, naturally Jun Wulei had no choice but to follow. The three of them left the palace and entered the underground passageway once again. This time, the passageway that appeared was different from those outside. The passageways outside had seemed like an underground maze formed from nature, but the current passageway was a man-made underground passageway. Every way led to the same territory accurately.
The three of them didn't encounter anything along the way. After walking for 15 minutes, a garden appeared before them. A garden appearing underground was absolutely strange. They seemed to have left the underground and had come to the outside. There were bright lights, woods, and a clear, shimmering lake. The sky was blue, and there was even a sun emitting light.
