“Jump into the ten-thousand-foot abyss…”
“They didn’t hesitate at all…”
Yin Huacheng’s mind was blank, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints.
He had seen many people display ugly behaviors before their deaths.
But he had never seen anyone rush towards d*ath without any hesitation.
This Qingyuan Abyss was something even he didn’t know how deep it was, and there was still an extremely strong pressure lingering within. Once someone fell in, their vital energy, inner qi, form and intent, and even the inner and outer worlds would be suppressed.
Even a realm expert at the External Vision stage might not dare to descend without preparation.
Two bl**d Qi realm individuals would have no chance of survival.
“Fool!”
“You two are even more foolish than me!”
Yin Huacheng punched the ground, regret surging in his heart.
Just now, he dodged that sword because he was afraid of getting injured!
Getting injured could expose him.
It’s better than losing everything by trying to snatch a chicken and failing!
This meant that not only did he fail to obtain high-quality cultivation materials, but he also committed a serious crime of attempting to m*rder a true disciple!
“The elders will be here soon.”
Yin Huacheng forcibly restrained the emotions welling up inside him.
He quickly took off his black robe, throwing it and the iron mask into the Qingyuan Abyss, then changed into the clothes of a true disciple.
After doing this, he prepared to send a message to the elders.
However, before he could make any move—
Boom—
A fire-colored meteor landed just three yards away from the cliff, its impact causing dust and debris to rise, creating the illusion that the entire Moon Viewing Cliff shook thrice.
The dust cleared.
The woman’s red palace gown fluttered as her black hair danced, outlining the shape of the wind.
“Where’s my disciple?”
Her voice was sober, sounding somewhat unfamiliar.
“Gulp—”
Yin Huacheng felt parched from the intense heat, unable to utter a single word of his prepared speech.
“Disciple… disciple just arrived too.”
“Shang Wu, let’s talk properly.”
Other elders also landed on the peak.
“Let’s first find out what happened.”
Yin Huaxuan gave his son a deep look.
With renewed courage, Yin Huacheng spoke:
“The Moon Viewing Cliff is the area I am responsible for. Upon hearing the signal arrow, I immediately rushed over.”
“However, when I arrived, the Moon Viewing Cliff was already empty.”
As soon as he finished speaking,
everyone’s expressions turned extremely grim.
There was only one path leading up to the Moon Viewing Cliff.
They hadn’t seen Li Mo or Ying Bing when they came, nor were they at the top of the cliff. That could only mean…
Everyone looked at the Qingyuan Abyss, their hearts sinking.
“This longsword belongs to Ying Bing.”
“She must have encountered an enemy she couldn’t handle, hence the desperate attack.”
Xue Jing, with a grim expression, stepped forward with a longsword wrapped in frost, still emitting a chill.
“Those two youngsters aren’t ordinary bl**d Qi realm individuals; together, they could at least hold their own against Inner Breath realm practitioners.”
“Whoever attacked them—is it someone from the Observation Realm?”
Qian Bufan’s words had barely left his mouth.
No one expected that the demon from the Huanmo Sect behind Wang Hu actually had the true disciples as his target.
Bang—
Suddenly, bl**d spurted from Yin Huacheng’s mouth as he flew backward.
Just as he was about to crash into a tree, an invisible force dissipated the momentum, causing him to stagger several times before finally stabilizing.
Yin Huacheng’s father, Yin Huaxuan, held his son, frowning:
“Shang Wu, no one wants this to happen.”
“There are always casualties during trials. It’s hard to manage such a vast area without being stretched thin, so why should everyone seek trouble with the executives?”
A flash of fiery light flickered in Shang Wu’s narrowed eyes.
She didn’t move again, only coldly saying:
“Just don’t let me find out you’re involved in this.”
Yin Huacheng faced her with alarm, his face turning pale.
“Shang Wu!”
Yin Huaxuan was enraged: “I understand your feelings, but don’t make false accusations!”
Shang Wu ignored his anger.
“Now is not the time for internal strife.”
Qian Bufan asked: “Yin Hua, do you have any news from the birds you control?”
“Due to the proximity of the Moon Viewing Cliff to the Qingyuan Abyss, the birds can’t get close.”
“I’ll search the surroundings. If I find any suspicious individuals, I’ll notify everyone immediately.”
Yin Huaxuan nodded.
Xue Jing exhaled deeply: “Finding the demons is secondary. The most urgent matter is determining the life or d*ath of Li Mo and Ying Bing!”
“If they are still alive, how can we rescue them?”
Silence.
Upon hearing this, the elders fell silent.
They knew nothing about the situation below the Qingyuan Abyss.
There were almost no records in the sect about this place.
Many powerful members of the Qingyuan Sect suspected that there might be treasures below, which is why the Qingyuan Abyss always had a constant oppressive aura.
Many had tried to explore it, but either disappeared without a trace or retreated halfway.
Jumping down would likely result in never seeing them again.
Suddenly.
Jingle jingle—
What made that sound?
Shang Wu’s eyes flashed with unusual light as she hurriedly raised her wrist.
It was the Heart Bell!
Li Mo is still alive!
“Stop her!”
“Junior Shang Wu, don’t jump down just yet.”
“As long as they are still alive, we can discuss a plan to save them.”
Shang Wu intended to jump down and save them.
The elders hurriedly stopped her.
The scene became chaotic.
Only Yin Huacheng and Yin Huaxuan, father and son, showed a hint of surprise on their faces.
Yin Huacheng wanted to say something, but his father’s menacing glare silenced him.
“Go back to the Precious Beast Peak!”
“…Yes.”
…
“Master should know I’m still alive.”
Li Mo tightly gripped the Heart Bell, thinking to himself.
After flying through the mist for so long, one might lose track of time and space.
What could be confirmed is that they had fallen very deep.
The oppressive aura grew stronger, making it almost impossible for Li Mo to sense anything around him, as if everything was swept away by the whistling cold wind.
Only the icy coldness of the small hand in his palm gave him a sense of reality.
Li Mo vaguely glanced at the owner of the small hand.
Her narrowed eyes still held the same cold purity from the beginning.
Whether it was confidence or fearlessness of d*ath,
“I wouldn’t survive falling from such a height unless I were the destined daughter.”
“Probably not even a trace would remain…”
“Even if there were protective measures below, falling from this height might cause injury or dizziness.”
Without Ying Bing, exploring that unknown inheritance site was impossible.
If it were that easy to find, it wouldn’t still exist.
Therefore…
Ice Chunk cannot be harmed.
Thinking this, Li Mo inexplicably pulled her closer.
Soft jade in his arms.
Warm and powerful heartbeat transmitted from her gentle body.
Ying Bing: “?”
She didn’t move, only looking at the boy curiously as he slowly turned her back down.
Is he preparing to cushion my fall?
Even with a calm heart, she couldn’t help feeling a bit absurd.
At such a height, if you really fall to the ground, what good would it do for you to cushion the fall?
She had never been this close to a male before.
In her previous life, no man dared to come within three meters of her.
Ying Bing gently bit her lip.
Moving might change the direction of the fall…
In the end, she didn’t push the boy away.
