Mo Fan's answer left Han Ji speechless.

Shouldn't he be swearing a vow to bring back the good news?

However, Han Ji simply let it go after a second thought. No one knew exactly what kind of danger would be awaiting them inside the Dark Abyss. They were even uncertain if a Super Magician like Lu Huan was still alive inside. It was impossible to tell if they would manage to even find the Ancient King...

Han Ji turned around and left.

His magnificent dark golden armor could not conceal how hoary and worn out he was from worrying about the city's safety.

Mo Fan could not tell if his response had hurt him. Anyway, the Dark Abyss was just in front of him. The path ahead was full of unknowns. From the outside, it was simply a path leading to death. Besides, he was a fake descendant of the Ancient King. He would have been torn into pieces if it weren't for the Underground Holy Spring!

”Let's go, we don't have much time!” said Fang Gu.

Mo Fan nodded. He was about to respond when he caught a glimpse of a skinny figure in the wind.

The figure seemed to be trapped inside the chill wind, swaying like a stalk of grass that was going to be snapped in half in any second...

Mo Fan took a closer look and was dumbfounded.

”It's Liu Ru!”

”It seems like she could no longer hold on against the wind.”

”That idiot!” cursed Mo Fan. His voice was still drifting in the wind when he already headed toward the girl's direction in the form of a rapid shadow.

Luckily, Liu Ru was not too far away. Otherwise, the wind would have dragged her into the Dark Abyss. There was simply no way Mo Fan could save her from the vortex once she was dragged away, regardless of how capable he was.

Mo Fan grabbed Liu Ru. He clearly sensed a strong force pulling Liu Ru toward the Dark Abyss.

Mo Fan was sliding across the ground with her because of the force. Fang Gu, Su Xiaoluo, Zhang Xiaohou immediately went forward and lent a hand. The four of them grabbed Liu Ru simultaneously, yet they too were being dragged toward the Dark Abyss.

”Little Loach, some light please!”

Mo Fan simply hugged Liu Ru tighter just so the energy from the Underground Holy Spring could encapsulate her figure too.

Fortunately, Liu Ru was fairly skinny. The glow emitted by Little Loach was meant to only protect a single person. It barely surrounded Liu Ru and placed her under its protection too.

The absorbing force finally disappeared. The group of four let out a relieved sigh.

”Miss, are you trying to get yourself killed?” Mo Fan glared at the woman.

”I...I was just going to see you off...I didn't expect to get dragged away by the wind...” Liu Ru blushed. Apart from the reason that she was telling a lie, it was also because Mo Fan was hugging her too tightly, she could barely breathe!

”It's lucky that I'm not a descendant of the Ancient King either! I'm also relying on the Underground Holy Spring. Otherwise, the wind would have torn you apart. President, will you… crap, where did he go?” Mo Fan was about to ask Han Ji to bring Liu Ru back when he realized that the man was already gone.
