The hall inside the palace tomb...
The strange lotus stood in the same spot in silence. It was impossible to tell how long it had lasted, as it seemed like neither time nor the vicissitudes of life had done anything to it. It simply stood there emitting its fragrance for eternity!
However, as long as it was still alive, the people of the entire inner city would face destruction. The hearts of the people observing the situation were burning with anxiety!
”Let me have a try,” Mo Fan said to Zhang Xiaohou.
”It's not going to work. There's no way our strength is enough to destroy this thing,” Fang Gu shook his head dishearteningly.
”How do you know if you don't try?” Mo Fan grabbed the lotus with a single hand.
He held the Eternal Lotus firmly in his hand. Since the Little Loach Pendant was rather unique, he did not want to show it to anyone. After a slight hesitation, he simply walked toward a blind corner in the hall.
Liu Ru, Fang Gu, Su Xiaoluo and Zhang Xiaohou looked after Mo Fan in confusion. They had no idea where Mo Fan was bringing the lotus to.
Similarly, Han Ji, Yao Nan, Zuo Feng, Du Xiao, Ling Xi and the others were confused when they saw Mo Fan walking out of the visible range of the copper mirror.
Did the kid think he could break a puzzle that had existed over two thousand years by simply throwing the lotus away?

Mo Fan slowly took out the Little Loach Pendant as he reached the corner.
The Little Loach Pendant was humming as actively as a vibrator. It was a little monster that was about to lunge out from the layer of rust.
”Take it, take it, you better digest the lotus!” Mo Fan placed the lotus in front of Little Loach impatiently.
Little Loach had the ability to absorb stuff. As soon as the lotus was put in front of it, it immediately turned into a ray of light, which was gradually absorbed into the Little Loach Pendant.
Little Loach finally stopped vibrating after eating the lotus. However, the pendant began to emit an unbelievable glow!
The glow almost lit up the entire hall. The place turned a lot brighter all of a sudden...
Mo Fan stared at the Little Loach Pendant in surprise, then quickly went in to observe the world inside the Little Loach Pendant after a few seconds.
The Nether River formed with the Underground Holy Spring was flowing as quietly as usual. Lots of Soul Remnants were floating on it, but now the strange lotus was among them. It was emitting rings of glowing ripples across the surface of the river.
”What the heck is going on?” Mo Fan's thoughts were full of question marks. He could not understand why the Little Loach Pendant had placed the Eternal Lotus in the Nether River.
However, a few moments later, Mo Fan discovered that one of the petals on the Eternal Lotus had begun to wilt!
The flower was wilting; the tender leaves first turned yellow, before gradually turning black as it fully wilted!
