”What's the matter? Wasn't there supposed to be a green stone inside? How did it become a fish bone?” The voice in Mo Wuji's ear paused briefly before transmitting this message.

Mo Wuji was constantly paying attention to this voice. The moment he noticed that pause, he knew that the other party seemed to have found some problems with his words.

”Senior, even though I was pricked, I wasn't injured. My defensive treasure managed to block it off for me. Right, I do see a green piece of stone, it's under the fish bones…” Mo Wuji added.

This time, Mo Wuji did, indeed, see a green stone below the fish bones. It was unknown how long the green stone had been left there for, but it was still glowing with a faint, green luster. It should be some good stuff. Besides this green stone, there also seems to be a human corpse. To maintain such a complete corpse so long after his death, it could clearly be seem that this person was also a powerhouse back when he was alive.

The hidden voice went silent; Mo Wuji didn't speak either. Mo Wuji was calmly looking at his surroundings with his spiritual eye. At the same time, he placed Da Huang by his side, preparing for a fight at any moment. Even if he wouldn't be able to put up much of a fight, he still wanted to offer some resistance before he dies.

After some time, that voice sighed, ”I also don't really understand what's going on. Carefully, bring that green stone out from underneath the fish bones. Remember not to get pricked by the fish bones.”

”Alright.” Mo Wuji directly transmitted a message to Da Huang, indicating for Da Huang to get the green stone according to his instructions.

Da Huang could not see the green stone, but Mo Wuji could act as its eyes.

Da Huang did not hesitate; the moment Mo Wuji gave it the order, it immediately jumped into the pond. However, the moment it went over the pond, it was as though a powerful force had sucked him in. He was stabbed strongly by the fish bones.

Even though Da Huang was a Grand Emperor level immortal puppet, and this fish seemed to have died for ages, the fish bone was still able to pierce through Da Huang easily, leaving Da Huang impaled on the bone.

”What's the matter?” The disturbance caused by Da Huang was too big. The voice sounded out once more, this time, with greater emotion.

A faint white light rose from the fish bones, seemingly trying to suck something out of Da Huang. Unfortunately, after sucking for close to half a day, it did not seem to get what it wanted.

Mo Wuji had an unsightly expression on his face; he was sure that there was something wrong with this pond. Otherwise, with Da Huang's power and his instructions, Da Huang definitely wouldn't have been impaled by the fish bones. That voice that was giving him instructions was definitely insidious.

”Nothing much. I was stabbed again. Fortunately, my defensive treasure was able to help me once more.” Mo Wuji's tone seemed to be anxious and discontent. He could see that Da Huang did not seem to be able to move.

”Come up first then.” That voice seemed to sigh.

Mo Wuji instructed for Da Huang to retrieve that green stone the moment it could escape.

As expected, the moment that the voice spoke, Da Huang was able to easily climb out of the fish bone. It followed according to Mo Wuji's instructions: the instant it sprang out of the pond, it grabbed the green stone.

A cold snort could be heard. Immediately, Mo Wuji felt shivers throughout his entire body. Fortunately, Da Huang was already out of the pond with the green stone. Mo Wuji hurriedly retreated with Da Huang, then he used the Book of Luo to protect Da Huang and himself. At the same time, his spirit storage channel's spiritual will penetrated into that green stone.

The green stone was filled with all sorts of complex runes; Mo Wuji's spiritual will was completely unable to resolve those runes.

”Did you take the green stone?” The voice suddenly asked.

Mo Wuji calmly kept the green stone, then he blatantly lied, ”No. That green stone was too hard to take.”

He believed that the other party knew that he had already taken the green stone. He also believed that, at this instant, the other party also knew that he could see whatever was in the pond. However, he wasn't simply going to confess.

As expected, after a short pause, that voice suddenly said, ”Young man, you're very smart and cautious. If I'm not wrong, you should possess eyes which could see through everything, right?”

Mo Wuji didn't answer. All this wasn't related to him being able to leave this place; so there was no need for him to reply.

”Very good, young man. Previously, it was my, Yu Minjiang’s, fault. I should not have lied to you. Now, let's make a deal. Return that green stone back to the pond and I will guide you out,” The voice that identified itself as Yu Minjiang said slowly.

While Mo Wuji didn't really understand such a complex array, he was someone who knew a bit about arrays. At this instant, he could already faintly see that there should be various arrays in that pond. That fish bone was very likely able to absorb blood. Unfortunately for it, Da Huang was merely a puppet that did not have a single drop of blood to be sucked.

The green stone had already been placed into his ring. Mo Wuji only needed a single glance to tell that this thing wasn't simple; he wasn't going to simply return it back to the pond. Moreover, he did not believe that this voice would be so kind as to guide him out.

He held his Immortal Seeking Token and asked, ”You really forged this?”
