564 The Abandoned Palace (1/2)

”Something's off.” Mo Wen touched his chin. He did not hesitate before jumping into the pool of water.

”So cold!”There was a splash and a figure flew up from the Xuan Ming Frozen Water. It was a woman with well-defined curves who looked sexy. As the water had soaked her dress, the translucent dress hugged her body tightly, vaguely showing the color of her flesh, making her look seductive.

”Damn it. It's lucky that I have got the Nuan Yang Jade. Otherwise, I might have been trapped.” Jin Ying's expression was frozen and she looked somewhat unhealthy. Her entire body, from head to toe, was freezing cold. A cold aura radiated from her body. The stones around her turned into powder immediately because of the cold.

She held a fiery red jade pendant in her hand tightly. She shuddered uncontrollably for a bit before she regained a little color.

Rumble. The sound of earth moving could be heard from behind her. The Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise was on its way back.

Jin Ying took a deep breath. There was no time to rest right now, much less regain her Inner Qi. She could only grit her teeth and tried her best to continue down the tunnel. She arrived before the pool moments later.

”Where are they?” A trace of confusion flashed in Jin Ying's eyes. She had followed them but Mo Wen and Yin Banshuang were gone! What had happened?

A large question mark appeared in front of Jin Ying's eyes. She was sure that the two had entered this tunnel. There were no other forks to choose from. In this situation where there was only one path, she could not have lost them. So where had the two of them gone?

She stood in the large underground tunnel and felt rather ridiculous. The two of them had disappeared into thin air.

Jin Ying searched in the underground tunnel carefully but did not find anything. She did not find any clues at all.

Rumble. The sound of the earth shaking could be heard behind her once again. The figure grew closer and closer and the shaking grew more and more intense. The Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise was on its way back to its nest.

”Oh no!” Jin Ying's expression changed slightly. There was no other path here and it was almost impossible for her to go back the way she had come. If she encountered the tortoise, she would die for sure.

There was nowhere to run in the narrow underground tunnel.

The sound of the earth rumbling grew closer and closer. Jin Ying grew anxious. She must not meet the terrifying monstrous beast. The consequences would be disastrous.

Jin Ying's mind whirled. The steps of the Xuan Ming Shielded Tortoise grew closer and closer. A sense of dread arose in Jin Ying's heart.

She would definitely die if she were to turn back, but there was nowhere to go in front of her. She felt like crying but had no tears. Jin Ying felt as if she had gambled with her life and had suffered a major loss. There was no other way to describe her feelings.

”Mo Wen that b*stard, he's got me killed.” Jin Ying gritted her teeth. She was putting the blame on Mo Wen now. If it hadn't been for him and Yin Banshuang behaving so furtively, she would never have grown so curious and she wouldn't be trapped in this godforsaken place.

Suddenly, Jin Ying's gaze fixed on the middle of the pool. There was nowhere to hide at all in the underground tunnel. There was only the pool. Perhaps she could hide there for a while.

Once the thought struck her, she did not seem to hesitate at all before jumping into the pool.

Jin Ying believed that she was jumping into the water. However, that had not happened. She did not feel as if she was jumping into water and she could not sense the existence of water. She only felt the space around her twist. She could not see anything and everything was blurred in front of her. She was suddenly plunged into darkness.

When light appeared in front of her eyes again, Jin Ying found that she was standing in a valley.

The valley was not large but was surrounded by mountain chains. It looked ancient. The rock, the blade of grass, the tree, they all emitted an aura that made them feel ancient.

”What is this place?” Jin Ying was shocked. Hadn't she just jumped into the pool? How had she appeared in a place like this?

It was a Door of Space! It took Jin Ying a while to realize what must have happened. That was not a pool. It was a Door of Space that connected two different spaces!

”So those two were aiming to get to this place.” Jin Ying finally understood why Mo Wen and Yin Banshuang had suddenly gone missing. They must have arrived in this space.

”Where is this?” Jin Ying looked at her surroundings somewhat bewilderedly. This space should not be an inner world. It looked like a fragment of space. It appeared big and was no different from a world but it should not be very big.

In order to prove her theory, Jin Ying immediately flew up and into a random direction.

The gravitational pull of this space was not much different from that of the main space. It was weaker than the inner worlds like the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension and Floating Mystery Dimension. The flying speed of Golden Elixir realm practitioners increased several times over in a space like this. Jin Ying flew several dozen miles in just a moment.

”Indeed.” After flying for 30 miles, Jin Ying discovered that the surrounding area had suddenly grown darker. All was dark in front of her and she could not see what was below her. There was nowhere to go and there was nothing around her at all. It was like a black cloth that stretched between heaven and earth had cut off the world completely.

Jin Ying did not continue flying in the direction she had been headed because she knew that she would definitely die if she flew past the black curtains with her current abilities.
