Chapter 326: Entering the dangerous underground

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

Sima You Lin didn’t expect Sima You Yue to admit to it. His heart suddenly shook.

How did he know? In the face of this question, he could only say, “Just a guess.”

Prior to this, he had considered more than once, the possibility that Sima You Yue was a girl. However, Sima You Ran and the others always shielded her, not allowing any male to come into close contact with her.

However, this had always just been a guess. It was only until he had hugged her and their bodies were in close proximity, where he was near her neck and got a whiff of a female’s pleasant scent that he affirmed his guesses.

“You really are good at guessing.” Sima You Yue was sure that she had never revealed herself in front of Sima You Lin before, so he definitely must have guessed it. At the same time, she was secretly lamenting that this guy was way too astute.

“Why do you want to pretend to be a guy?” Sima You Lin looked at her small face, inadvertently wondering what kind of surprise she would give when she revealed herself as a female.

“My father instructed my grandfather to do so when he gave me to him. My grandfather has gotten me to disguise myself as a male all these years, but I don’t know the reason why either.” Sima You Yue said, “You better not expose me.”

“Mm.” Sima You Lin nodded.

“Where is this place?” Sima You Yue saw that he had agreed, so she no longer pressed the matter. She started to evaluate the place they were currently at.

“It looks like we’re in the mountains.” Sima You Lin said, “Otherwise, we’re underground.”

The two of them used their spiritual qi to create fireballs as a source of light. Those fireballs revealed that they were surrounded by walls. They definitely were not within the palace, meaning that they were either underground or in the mountains.

It was at this moment that Halcyon spoke to Sima You Yue from within the Spirit Pagoda.

SIma You Yue heard Halcyon call out and asked, “Halcyon, what’s up?”

Halcyon’s expression was ugly, saying, “I came here before.”

“You’ve come here before? Could it be that this place is…” Sima You Yue’s expression immediately turned apprehensive. She hoped that she was wrong.

However, Halcyon nodded his head, saying, “That’s right. This is the place that keeps that creature captive. I walked past this place.”

“Oh damn, it really is that place.” Sima You Yue cried out.

“Where is this place?” Sima You Lin did not know why Sima You Yue would suddenly have such a big reaction.

Wasn’t Halcyon a sacred beast? Why would he have this kind of expression.

“You Lin, this is the place that Halcyon got injured at the last time.” Sima You Yue said bitterly, “even he almost lost his life here. We’re in for trouble this time.”

Sima You Lin’s heart skipped a beat as his expression turned solemn. He immediately asked, “Is there no exit?”

Halcyon shook his head, saying, “When we reached here, we already lost track of where we are. We have no way of knowing which way the exit is.”

“What are we going to do now?” Sima You Yue looked at Halcyon and Sima You Lin for their opinion.

“Since we can’t find an exit, let’s just choose any direction and walk in it.” Sima You Lin said.

Halcyon nodded as well, saying, “I’ll lead the way, you all follow behind me.”

Halcyon was feeling a bit bitter. He never thought that he would return to this place after leaving it not long ago.

Previously, Sima You Yue’s master was the one who rescued him. However, he didn’t know what was going to happen to them this time!

Sima You Yue followed behind Halcyon and her anxious heart slowly calmed down. She said, “Why would Li Mu send us here? Could it be that he knows we will definitely perish here?”

“I heard the clan leader mention before that it seems that ten thousand beast mountain contains something. That’s why Saint City doesn’t allow those below the age of twenty to enter. I also heard that saint city once dispatched ten over spirit paragons to an area, but not a single one returned. We probably ended up in that place.” Sima You Lin mused.

“Sigh, we knew long ago that some terrifying beast was held captive here. Previously, Halcyon almost lost his life because he came down to check it out.” Sima You Yue said, “What I’m more curious about is why Li Mu knows about this place.”

“Because Li Mu has talent, he came to Saint City even before he was twenty years old.” Sima You Lin said.

“Could it be that he came here before?” Sima You Yue guessed.

“At the very least, he knows of this place.” Sima You Lin said.

“That the array could teleport us here shows that the array master is pretty powerful. He must be pretty highly ranked.” Sima You Yue said.

“The Li clan has a great array master that is only weaker than my grandfather by a bit.” Sima You Lin said.

“Looks like those elders of the Li clan are involved in this as well.” Sima You Yue said, “If we are able to get out, I don’t mind razing that Li Clan to the ground!”

“At the end of the day, the Li clan is a first ranked power. It’s not an easy thing to exterminate a clan like this. Furthermore, they are a clan of alchemists. It’s even harder because of that.” Sima You Lin said.

“Then we’ll see whose fist is bigger when the time comes.” Sima You Yue said, “Even if I can’t exterminate their clan, I have to kill those involved at the very least. Nobody who dares plot against me will continue to live well.”

“Mm, if it’s just those people, it should be no problem.” Sima You Lin said.

At this time, Halcyon, who was leading, suddenly stopped.

“What’s up, Halcyon?” Sima You Yue asked.

“We walked past this place just now.” Halcyon said.

“We came here before?” Sima You yue looked at the walls on both sides. She didn’t feel that there was anything special about it. She wondered how Halcyon managed to recognise them.

“Looks like this stretch of road is different from the one we walked on just now.” Halcyon said.

The previous time that he had come here, he had also randomly chosen a path to walk, and the current path was not the same forked road.

“Who in the world made this. It’s exactly like a maze.” Sima You Yue said.

“Careful!” Halcyon suddenly turned around and took Sima You Yue and Sima You Lin and retreated back by ten metres. A black fog quickly shot at the area they were standing at just now. A little stone at the side of the wall was touched by the fog, and it immediately disintegrated into a pile of dust.

“What a terrifying black fog!” Sima You Yue could not help by gulp when he saw this scene.

“It’s precisely this aura.” Halcyon said.

“Aura? What aura?” Sima You Lin asked.

Halcyon released them, but he did not answer the question.

However, Sima You Yue knew what kind of aura he was talking about. He was talking about the aura that was similar to the one on her body.

“Should we be walking the opposite direction now?” Sima You Lin voiced as he could feel that the mood between Halcyon and Sima You Yue was getting heavy.

Halcyon closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings. His expression immediately changed and he picked up Sima You Yue and Sima You Lin and dashed off in retreat.

“What’s wrong?” Sima You Yue asked as she was thrown onto Halcyon’s shoulder.

“A lot of black fog.” Halcyon said while running.

“Hu- Hu-”

Sima You Yue could feel a gush of cold air and she turned her head to take a look. Seven to eight clumps of black fog was chasing after them.

“Damn it, so many!” She could not help but curse as she urged Halcyon to run faster.

Sima You Lin saw that black fog as well and thought of the black stone just now that had been reduced to powder. If it touched his body, would a bit of it even remain?!
