Chapter 429: Deep in the Black Forest 2
Su Siyi didn't hesitate. One of the purposes of her trip was to discover the whereabouts of those who had disappeared. She said, "Let's go!" Holding hands tightly, they slowly walked toward the passage, a mixture of nervousness and anticipation. It was a downward-sloping passage, with a cliff near its entrance. The deep valley was shrouded in darkness. They had no idea where this passage would lead them, or whether it would lead beneath the cliff.
As soon as the two stepped into the passage, the entrance behind them quietly closed, as if it had never appeared. If someone was outside at this time, they would definitely not notice that a passage had just appeared here.
"This passage is quite large!" Su Siyi pulled out a flashlight from the storage space. As the light came on, the interior of the passage gradually became visible to them. The passage was wide enough for two people to walk side by side, and the walls were smooth and flat, as if they had been carefully polished.
"This project is quite large!" Nangong Jingming looked at the wide and deep passage and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He wondered who spent so much effort to build such a passage and what was its purpose?
"Never mind all that, let's go down and take a look!" Su Siyi's curiosity had been completely aroused. She couldn't wait to walk quickly forward, and her footsteps made a crisp sound in the passage.
The two walked along the passage, time passing quietly in silence. After walking for an unknown amount of time, Su Siyi felt her legs aching. Nangong Jingming looked at the time and said, "Siyi, we've been walking for three hours. We should be at the exit, but it's night outside now!"
"Then how do you know we're at the exit?" Su Siyi looked at Nangong Jingming with confusion, not understanding why he was so sure.
"Listen carefully to the sound of the wind." Nangong Jingming tilted his ear slightly, signaling Su Siyi to listen carefully as well.
"Oh, I understand!" After he reminded her, Su Siyi also heard the faint sound of the wind, and then she realized that the exit should be approaching.
"Let's turn off the lights. We don't know what's going on outside, so we better be careful." Nangong Jingming said cautiously. In an unknown environment, it is crucial to keep a low profile and be vigilant.
"Okay, I get it. Let's use a small lamp!" Su Siyi said, pulling out a small flashlight from her space button. The light was very weak, barely illuminating a distance of two meters around them. In this dark environment, it was like a faint ray of hope. The two slowly approached the exit, each step filled with caution and anticipation, unsure of what awaited them beyond.
The two men moved cautiously toward the exit, taking each step with extreme caution, fearing to disturb the dangers lurking in this unknown area. When they finally reached the exit, a thick, inky darkness appeared before them, like a huge black curtain, completely obscuring everything ahead. They stared wide-eyed, trying to penetrate the darkness and see what lay ahead, but all they could see was endless blackness. However, from the overwhelming sense of emptiness, they were certain that there was a vast expanse ahead.
"Should we continue on our way? Or should we return to the dimension first and come out to check the situation after daybreak?" Su Siyi's voice echoed softly in the darkness, a hint of hesitation. She gazed at the bottomless darkness ahead, feeling a sense of unease. In this pitch-black environment, they dared not turn on the lights. If the lights attracted any danger, and they were unable to detect it in time, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Well, but not at the exit. Let's go to the side and then enter the space!" Nangong Jingming lowered his voice, his tone full of caution. He knew that in this unknown place, any slight movement could lead to unexpected consequences. Entering the space at the exit would most likely leave traces, posing a potential threat to them.
Su Siyi nodded gently, stretched out her hand to hold Nangong Jingming, and the two of them moved to the side a distance in tacit understanding. Then, Su Siyi moved her mind and took him into the jade pendant space.
Upon entering the jade pendant's space, they were instantly enveloped by a familiar warmth and tranquility. A rich spiritual energy permeated the space, resembling a secluded wonderland. The two first enjoyed a sumptuous dinner together, where, in this warm atmosphere, the fatigue of the day seemed to gradually dissipate. Afterward, without a moment's delay, they each headed to their respective training areas. Their cultivation had only recently reached a breakthrough, their foundations still unsettled, and they needed extensive practice to consolidate these hard-earned gains. Furthermore, they had yet to complete the daily training tasks they had set for themselves. For these individuals, striving for higher realms, practice had long become an integral part of their lives.
Elsewhere in the jade pendant's space, the Su family would occasionally come in to practice. They noticed that every time they came in, they were either missing Su Siyi and Nangong Jingming, or they were immersed in their practice, their expressions so focused that nothing in the world could distract them. Over time, the Su family stopped paying too much attention to them, instead devoting all their energy to their own practice, striving to improve their own strength.
Meanwhile, among the six major families in the world of cultivation, the events of the Ji family erupted like a sudden storm, quickly causing widespread uproar. When the other families learned of the attack on the Ji family, they were met with immense surprise. After all, the Ji family was a considerable force in the world of cultivation, and Ji Lin's cultivation was formidable. Who could possibly possess the courage and strength to attack the Ji family? With this question in mind, each family dispatched key personnel, accompanied by a group of elite disciples, to the Ji family.
"Master Ji, who on earth attacked you?" Master Wang stood in the main hall of the Ji family, his eyes fixed on Ji Lin, his face full of confusion. He looked at the injuries on Ji Lin's body and wondered to himself, Ji Lin's cultivation level was not low, and he was considered a powerful figure in the world of cultivation. Who could have injured him?
"My rebellious daughter has returned with her men." Ji Lin sighed slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes as he looked at the other clan leaders and spoke slowly. There was a hint of fatigue in his voice, as if he had been exhausted by this sudden change.
"Master Ji, are you sure? This is the world of cultivation. Isn't your daughter an ordinary person? How did she get in here?" Master Wang's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. He had some connections with the Ji family; his cousin married Ji Lin, so he was quite familiar with some of the Ji family's affairs. He remembered Ji Mei, who was born without spiritual roots and unable to cultivate. She was constantly bullied in the Ji family and later cruelly thrown out of the world of cultivation. How could such an ordinary person with no cultivation ability have the ability to return to the world of cultivation and attack the Ji family?
