Ruo Xie had already taken it off his wrist, ready to attack, but stopped when Xie Lian saw the other person clearly. Xie Lian asked, "You... Yin Yu?"

A large pit that could accommodate two people appeared on the ground. Yin Yu half poked his head out of the pit, holding a sharp shovel in both hands. He sighed, wiped his sweat, and said, "Your Highness, it's me. Fortunately, I didn't dig in the wrong place. Let's go!"

He actually forgot that Yinyu still had a magic weapon in his hand - the Earth Master's Treasure Shovel! This thing was not confiscated, it was really a blessing from heaven. It seems that sometimes, having a low sense of presence is also a good thing. For example, in a melee, the enemy will definitely not go out of their way to attack this person, but on the contrary, our people may accidentally hurt this person. Xie Lian was about to go up and pull him out, but he took a step back involuntarily. Yinyu asked curiously: "Your Highness? What's wrong?"

Xie Lian was also wondering why he took a step back. Then, he remembered that it was not him who was retreating, but Shi Qingxuan who had moved into his body.

The earth master's shovel was very familiar, and it was hard not to think of the people who had used it in the past. Xie Lian felt a sudden palpitation, thinking that it was Shi Qingxuan's subconscious reaction. Fortunately, Shi Qingxuan's reaction was not extreme, and he quickly returned the initiative to Xie Lian. Xie Lian also forgot to ask Huacheng who the person who could help him go to heaven was, and hurried over to jump into the pit, and fell into the ground of Xianjing with Yinyu.

The hole above closed up soon. After crawling a short distance in the dark tunnel, Xie Lian suddenly remembered something and said, "Yinyu, can this geomancer's shovel dig through the boundary that locks Xianjing?"

Yinyu said, "It's impossible to dig through it...right?"

"ah?"

Shi Qingxuan said: "That is to say, although this treasure shovel is a divine weapon, it is still in Xianjing no matter how much it digs. Isn't it useless?"

Yin Yu scratched his head and said, "It's not that it's useless... Now there's a formation set up outside the Martial Gods. That formation will weaken their magic power and slow down their recovery from injuries. I think if we continue to stay in there, we may not be able to recover our fighting power for several years. It's better to use the geomancer's shovel to dig out a secret room somewhere underground, send all the Martial Gods there, and wait until they are almost recovered, and then try to see if we can get out."

Shi Qingxuan said, "Wait! City Lord Hua said, you told those useless...those martial gods to hide and recover from their injuries, don't even think about trying to break out from Jun Wu's hands, you're looking for death."

Yin Yu was surprised and asked, "Your Highness, you... can communicate with the city lord? Isn't it impossible?"

Xie Lian said, “No, no, no, it wasn’t me who was talking to you just now.”

Shi Qingxuan said: "It's me, it's me, Master Yin Yu!"

But it was just a mouthful to say it, Yin Yu was confused: "It's you, it's you, isn't it you, Your Highness?"

Shi Qingxuan said: "Oh, it's me, the Wind Master! No, now I should be called the former Wind Master. I used the Soul Transfer Technique. Oh, it's really tiring to pass on the message."

He went in here, listened and saw, then went back to his body over there and transmitted what he heard and saw to Huacheng, going in and out over and over again, just thinking about it made him tired. Yinyu hurriedly said, "Oh, you've worked hard. So that's how it is!" He dug even harder. After the two of them crawled forward for a while, Yinyu said, "Here... it should be almost there! Your Highness, you guys hide here first, I'll go get the next priest."

The hole they had come from gradually closed up. Xie Lian asked, “Ah? Are you going alone? I’ll go with you.”

Yin Yu said, "Forget it. To be honest, Your Highness, the bigger the hole this geomancer digs, the more energy he consumes. I might be able to do it faster alone. The closest martial god is..." He seemed to think for a while, then said, "Anyway, I'll be back soon."

Xie Lian was also infected by Shi Qingxuan’s fatigue from repeatedly using the Soul Transfer Technique and frequently consuming a large amount of mana. He sat on the ground and nodded reluctantly. He felt his head and body were a little heavy. He supported his forehead with his hand and said, “…Okay.”

So Yinyu dug a new hole and continued digging forward. Xie Lian lay there and closed his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly woke up and asked, "Yin Yu?"

The surroundings were dark and dead silent. It was obvious that Yinyu had not returned yet. Shi Qingxuan confirmed this when he spoke: "Your Highness, you are awake. Are you tired? Yinyu has not returned yet."

After resting for a while, Xie Lian regained his spirits and asked, "How long has he been gone? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

Shi Qingxuan said, "It's almost two incense sticks. Could he be lost?"

Xie Lian felt something was wrong and said, “I’ll go find him.”

As he said this, he turned over and crawled towards the tunnel that Yinyu had left. Because Yinyu had to come back through this tunnel, the tunnel did not close automatically after the geomancer dug it open. Xie Lian crawled carefully inside. After a moment, Master Qingxuan said, "Xueyu Tanhua said: 'Brother, you'd better not go.'"

Xie Lian stopped crawling and said, “I’m afraid it’s a bit bad, right?”

Shi Qingxuan said: "Yes, I heard that City Lord Hua's tone was quite serious."

Xie Lian said, “That’s why we have to go look for him because things are not looking good. Otherwise, if Yinyu meets with any misfortune…”

At this moment, a chill suddenly ran up his spine. Xie Lian was startled and turned back abruptly.

Shi Qingxuan also felt the chill in his body and said, "Oh my god, what happened just now? I suddenly felt a shiver on my back!"

Behind him was a dark, empty cave with nothing in it. Xie Lian stared at it for a long time before saying, “It’s okay.”

Shi Qingxuan immediately shut up and held his breath. Because after Xie Lian said "It's okay", he mouthed five words silently: "Don't make a sound, there are people around!"

There were other people in this tunnel. Just now, they were behind Xie Lian, but when he turned around, they disappeared.

Xie Lian’s instinct for danger was never wrong, so he couldn’t let the other party know that he had noticed it, so he pretended nothing happened. Shi Qingxuan hated this situation the most, and got goose bumps all over his arms, and mouthed, “Isn’t it Yin Yuxia?”

Xie Lian said, “If it was him, there would be no need to be so sneaky.”

After a moment of silence, Xie Lian asked silently, “Did Sanlang say anything?”

Shi Qingxuan said: "Uh uh uh, your Sanlang looks so scary... He said, 'Brother, if it comes to the last resort, use the Soul Transfer Technique to move into the Wind Master's body first.'"

However, let’s not talk about whether he has enough power to perform the Soul Transfer Technique. Even if he does, Xie Lian can’t just walk away from the mess in Xianjing. Xie Lian said, “Don’t worry, Sanlang.”

Before he could say what he was relieved about, he suddenly looked up. In front of him!

The sense of danger just now came from the back, but now it came from the front. But when he looked over, it was still pitch black and he couldn't see anything clearly. Shi Qingxuan mouthed, "Your Highness, what have you noticed? What should we do? Does this mean we should go forward or backward?"

After concentrating on observing for a moment, Xie Lian said, "This means that it's the same whether you go forward or backward. It doesn't matter." Then he started to crawl forward. As he was crawling, he stopped again, slightly stunned.

Shi Qingxuan couldn't help wondering, "How could this happen?"

What appeared before them was actually a fork in the road with two underground holes!

Shi Qingxuan said: "This... Could it be that Yinyu dug a road, found out that he dug the wrong one, and dug another one?"

Xie Lian thought, “Yinyu must be familiar with the route to Xianjing, how could he dig the wrong way? I’m afraid it’s even more terrible.” But he didn’t say it out loud, only said, “Qingxuan, help me ask Sanlang which one to choose. Left or right?”

After a moment, Shi Qingxuan said, "Xueyu Tanhua said... this suggestion cannot be given, 'Don't choose any of them'."

Xie Lian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Although he felt that there were bad things waiting for him on both roads, he couldn’t just stand still. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Then Qingxuan, you choose one.”

Shi Qingxuan: "Ah? Me?"

Xie Lian said, “Well. If you choose, there is a 50% chance that you will choose the better path; but if I were to choose…” Shi Qingxuan immediately said, “Okay, I understand.” After hesitating for a moment, he turned his head to the left.

Xie Lian nodded and climbed in.

The deeper you go, the narrower the tunnel becomes, almost suffocating, but still passable. After crawling around for a long time, you will finally see the light and come to a larger space.

Fortunately, although they were nervous along the way, they did not encounter any real danger. Xie Lian looked around for a moment and asked, "Where is this?"

Shi Qingxuan asked in confusion: "I don't know, I can't see clearly. But why do I feel that it seems a little familiar...huh?!"

Not only did he discover it, but Xie Lian also discovered it.

Sure enough, it looked familiar! Isn't this the underground secret room where Xie Lian had just rested for a while, waiting for Yin Yu to come back? !

It was absolutely true. There was another hole on the other side, which was the one that Yinyu had opened with the geomancer’s shovel when he left. Xie Lian also crawled out of this hole to look for him!

Shi Qingxuan said horrified: "Why are we back again? Is there...is there the tunnel we crawled back through?!"

Of course not! When they left just now, there was only one tunnel leading out of this underground secret room. And the tunnel they crawled back through appeared out of nowhere at some point. At the fork in the road they encountered, the road on the left made a big circle and led back!

This is definitely not Yin Yukai's doing. He wouldn't go to such great lengths to do such a meaningless thing quietly. Perhaps, he had also encountered something very strange. Xie Lian thought that he should have followed them just now. Without saying anything, he crawled out of the tunnel they had gone out of, and quickly crawled to the fork in the road. This time, he chose the cave on the right. As he crawled, Shi Qingxuan said, "It seems, it seems that my luck was not that good this time. I chose the wrong road. I should have chosen the right one from the beginning!"

Xie Lian said, “No, I think you are still very lucky.”

Shi Qingxuan asked: "Ah? What do you mean?"

Xie Lian tried to be as tactful as possible and said, “How should I put it… Because, this road on the right might be more terrifying than the one on the left…”

Both of them heard the sound of something crawling closer and closer behind them.

Xie Lian untied Ruo Xie and threw her backwards, saying, “Ruo Xie, help block it first!” Then he struggled to crawl forward, almost a foot at a time. Shi Qingxuan was so nervous that he almost lost his mind and said, “Hahahahaha, exciting! Exciting, exciting, exciting!”

Xie Lian said, “The more exciting things are yet to come! Come! Please look——!”

Shi Qingxuan: "What again?!"

Xie Lian stopped climbing frantically and let out a long breath. He saw another fork in the road appearing in front of them!

Shi Qingxuan said randomly: "Right!"

Xie Lian decisively turned right. Along the way, there were many forks in the road. Shi Qingxuan shouted, "Left! Right! Left! Right!" He didn't know what he was shouting. In such a critical and ever-changing situation, he didn't have time to withdraw from Xie Lian's body and go back to ask Hua Cheng what to do, because it was very likely that the situation would be completely different at the next fork in the road. Later, the thing was blocked by Ruo Xie for a while, but it was still approaching. The tunnels on both sides became narrower and narrower, and finally, it was to the point where he couldn't move his arms at all!

Xie Lian’s shoulder was already stuck, and he said, “I can’t climb down anymore!”

Shi Qingxuan said: "What should we do then? Should we retreat?!" The thing chasing behind us was almost catching up!

Xie Lian said, “Don’t be afraid! A real man can bend and stretch. If he doesn’t advance, he will retreat. If he retreats, then retreat! Come on!” As he spoke, he took two steps back, freeing one hand. Just as he was about to grab the hilt of Fang Xin’s sword and engage in a head-on battle with the thing chasing after him, he suddenly felt a chill on his scalp.

Xie Lian's heart sank. He looked up, but couldn't see what it was. It seemed that someone chuckled in the darkness and stretched out a hand to put on Xie Lian's head. He opened his eyes wide, and the next moment, he lost consciousness.

It was unknown how much time had passed before he slowly woke up.

After waking up, Xie Lian found that he was sitting on a chair, and his whole body was tied up tightly. After struggling for a while, he found that the one who tied him up was Ruo Xie.

Xie Lian asked inexplicably, “Ruo Xie, what are you doing?”

Ruo Xie also felt aggrieved, and rubbed against him. Xie Lian took a closer look and saw that Ruo Xie was actually tied into a tight knot.

No wonder Ruo Xie couldn't resist. It was most afraid of being tied up. When it was young and ignorant, it liked to play around with itself. While playing, it tied itself into a bunch of messy knots. Every time, Xie Lian had to help it untie them. Later, it learned its lesson and became smart. It never tied itself into a knot again. Xie Lian was helpless and tried to tear the chair apart. Unfortunately, the chair didn't move at all. It seemed that it was reinforced by the injection of magic power.

Since he couldn't move, he might as well observe the surroundings. Xie Lian looked around. This should be the interior of some god's palace. It was quite new and gorgeous, but he didn't know which one it was. It was definitely not Shenwu.

Just as he thought of this, a hand was placed on his shoulder, and a person above his head said in a gentle voice: "Xianle, Xianle, you are so naughty."

Hearing this voice, Xie Lian's scalp suddenly went numb. The man behind him turned around with his hands behind his back. It was indeed Jun Wu.

His hand was still on Xie Lian's shoulder, and he continued, step by step, "In the past six months since you came here, Xianjing has been broken here and there, smashing things here and there. Tell me, are you naughty or not? You are not a little mouse. Do you think it's fun to dig holes and crawl around underground?"

This gentle, kind tone, as if an elder was watching a younger generation fooling around, made Xie Lian shudder and feel very uncomfortable. He really didn't know how to talk to him. Then, he suddenly felt a chill at his feet. He looked down and saw a white mass hugging his boots, staring at him with an extremely evil look.

It was the fetal spirit.

Xie Lian looked up, and probably guessed it. Yinyu used the earth master's shovel to dig a pit, but was caught by Jun Wu. Jun Wu sent some things to intercept him underground, and he had the horrible experience just now.

Xie Lian finally knew what to say. After a moment of silence, he said, “…You really have a very bad taste.”

The chase in the cave reminded him of the time when he was chased by Bai Wuxiang and was breathless and terrified. If they wanted to catch him, they could just catch him directly. Why did they have to make it so scary and weird?

Jun Wu, however, looked very happy and said with a smile: "Xianle is much braver than before."

There was no way to respond to this, so Xie Lian asked, “Where’s Yinyu?”

Jun Wu put his hand on the back of the chair, helped him turn around, and said, "Don't worry, you will see. Besides, it's not just him."

Xie Lian turned around and faced a mirror, but what was reflected in the mirror was not him, but the pale-faced Yinyu.

At his feet, there was a person lying unconscious with a bloody head, bruised face and nose. He could only be identified by his curly hair. It was Quan Yizhen.

Xie Lian immediately asked cautiously, “What do you want to do?”
