Wushuang received the crystal ball and started to examine it. After turning it in her hands, she exclaimed, ”Encrypted Magic Crystal Ball! How did you get your hands on this item?”
After a moment of hesitation, Long Yi decided to tell her the truth, ”This object appeared after the corpses of your mother and father disappeared.”
The moment Long Yi mentioned her parents, Wushuang's face darkened. However, her eyes were still glued onto the crystal ball, and she appeared to be in a trance.
”Shuang'er, you don't need to be sad. If you think about it, there is something strange about everything that happened. Just think about it, your father and mother's hands had pierced through your chest, but there isn't any injury on your body.” Long Yi started to console Wushuang who seemed to be sad. The lack of injury was one thing Long Yi was unable to figure out.
Nodding her head, Wushuang started to look around. As she waved her hand, she laid out a blue colored water barrier. After making sure there was no one around to spy on her, Wushuang p.r.i.c.ked her finger and dripped a drop of her blood onto the crystal ball.
The blood slowly seeped inside the crystal ball. As the drop of blood slowly disappeared, the crystal ball started to emit a dim red halo. Shortly afterward, the misty gas inside the crystal ball started to churn. The gas formed an image which was surprisingly clear, and it showed a tall handsome middle aged man. He had a pale face and had a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth. It was clear that he had suffered a heavy injury from the look on his face.
”Father, it's father!” When she saw the image of her father after several thousand years, Wushuang started choking on her tears.
”Ning'er, father doesn't have much time left. I won't be able to go into too much details. Enemies of our Holy City have arrived at our doorsteps. They are here to kill every last one of us, and there is no escape from this misfortune. If you are able to see this image in the crystal ball, hurry up and enter the Holy Temple……” After Wushuang's father spoke to this point, the crystal ball started flas.h.i.+ng. After a few flashes, it suddenly returned to its original state. Both Wushuang and Long Yi could easily imagine that Wushuang's father had been interrupted while recording his final words in this crystal ball.
”Father……” Wushuang sadly called out and her already calm feelings violently fluctuated again.
”Shuang'er, don't be sad. Now, the most important thing is to find out who the enemy of the Holy City is. Furthermore, didn't your father ask you to enter the Holy Temple? Everything happened so long ago, there is no use for you to be sad any longer. Now, you need to pull yourself together and find out who exactly caused the destruction of Lost City.” With one hand on Wushuang's shoulder, Long Yi consoled and encouraged her at the same time.
Wushuang sobered up and her ice-cold beautiful face unexpectedly twisted a little. Gnas.h.i.+ng her teeth, Wushuang said, ”I must find out who were the ones who harmed my parents. They dared to destroy our Holy City, I must take revenge for the residents of the city.”
”Of course, hatred must be repaid, revenge must be taken. I will definitely help you.” Long Yi rea.s.sured Wushuang. The hatred between the attackers and Holy City was a huge blood debt and it was absolutely irreconcilable.
With a grateful expression, Wushuang stared at Long Yi. She felt that it was truly fortunate for her to have him by her side. Without Long Yi beside her, she wouldn't have known how to accept the fact that her entire city was destroyed.
”Holy Temple. Since my father had instructed me to go to the Holy Temple, I shall go there immediately.” Wushuang said as she looked around. In an instant, she started clearing up the eastern courtyard that had already changed into a pile of rubble. Using her magic spells, she cleared up the entire courtyard. She had to clean up the entire courtyard as the entrance to the Holy Temple was in her father's bedroom and she wasn't able to find his bedroom in this mess.
After asking Wushuang some questions, Long Yi and the others started to help out as well. As they said, strength in numbers. The eastern courtyard was cleaned up very quickly under Wushuang's leaders.h.i.+p.
Relying on her memory, Wushuang started to search for the entrance of the Holy Temple. Releasing a thin stream of continuous light blue water magic power, a mysterious pattern started to form on the ground.
Along with a loud rumbling sound, the ground started to split open. A square shaped entrance appeared in the ground and it seemed to be endless.
”It's here, let's go down.” Wushuang turned her head to look at Long Yi and the rest before taking the lead. With a single step, Wushuang Jumped into the entrance of the Holy Temple.
With Wushuang in the lead, Long Yi and the rest followed. Jumping down one after another, they saw a long pa.s.sage when they finally landed. The pa.s.sage was illuminated by magic lamps which lit up the moment they stepped onto the ground. Long Yi was surprised that these devices were working. It had been thousands of years since anyone actually stepped foot onto this pathway, yet the lamps were still working. Long Yi thought that this was really amazing. At the same time, Long Yi wondered about the technology the Holy City used. They seemed to be years ahead of the Blue Waves Continent. If he thought about it carefully, the technology Holy City used was actually thousands of years ahead compared to the current Blue Waves Continent.
The pa.s.sage seemed endless and there were many twists and turns along the road. Eventually, the group reached the end of the path which was situated deep in the ground. Although Long Yi didn't sense any air vents along the road, the entire pathway didn't feel stuff at all. Long Yi was fascinated and wondered how this place was designed. At the end of the path, they saw a conspicuous white light blocking their path.
Wushuang chanted the incantation the air around them trembled. Then, the white light began to move sideways and the continuation of the pathway appeared. It was pitch black and the pathway seemed to lead into the ninth layer of the underworld.
”This is the s.p.a.ce gate leading to the Holy Temple. Our Holy Temple is built in another s.p.a.ce.” Wushuang said.
