Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 307 Re-entering the Void

The red-robed elder moved with incredible speed, his figure darting through the dark passage.

After a while.

He suddenly stopped, standing in the middle of the passageway, his eyes slightly closed.

A powerful yet exceptionally refined divine sense suddenly surged from the top of his head, spreading out like a fine net towards the walls and depths of the passage.

Guan Xun immediately pressed his divine sense against the shadow at the top of the passage.

If the two divine senses collide, they are very likely to be discovered.

Soon, the red-robed elder withdrew his divine sense, seemingly having confirmed that there was nothing unusual about the surroundings.

Without hesitation, he turned around and headed back towards the vortex gate.

Guan Xun was slightly taken aback. She had originally intended to take this opportunity to probe the deeper parts of the passage with her divine sense.

So this old man is just going to leave like this?

If the vortex gate closes later, her consciousness will likely be completely trapped inside.

Helpless, she could only follow behind and turn back.

When his gaze swept over the small celadon porcelain bottle hanging at his waist, a glint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

Guan Xun's consciousness was glued to the porcelain bottle, his mind constantly calculating how to get his hands on this little thing.

The little snake in this porcelain bottle is the key to unlocking the engraved mechanism; she has to get her hands on it no matter what.

Meanwhile, the outer hall remained in complete chaos.

The escort team member, under suspicion, was trying to explain himself in a low voice, while the other elders continued to bombard him with questions.

Guan Xun glanced around, then lowered his eyes.

He appeared to be lost in the crowd, but in reality, with a slight movement of his fingertips, he infused a wisp of divine power into that wisp of divine consciousness.

With the power of the divine soul, that wisp of divine consciousness instantly solidified, transforming into a blurry figure that floated behind the red-robed elder.

The next second, the figure suddenly vanished, leaving only a pair of eyes that appeared out of nowhere.

His eyes were sharply upturned at the corners, and a three-sided flower in his pupils glowed with an eerie crimson, slowly turning.

The moment the eyes appeared, a terrifying sense of oppression swept over them.

The air around us seemed to have been sucked out instantly, and even the light seemed to have been absorbed, making it even darker and more stagnant.

The red-robed elder felt a chill on the back of his neck and subconsciously turned around, his gaze meeting those eyes directly.

In an instant, countless blood-red threads seemed to shoot out from Youhong's pupils, drilling straight into his sea of ​​consciousness!

A chilling shiver, originating from the depths of his soul, suddenly erupted. His blood froze instantly, and a bone-chilling cold permeated his entire body. He even forgot to breathe.

My senses were struck as if by a heavy hammer, my vision went black in waves, and I lost consciousness in the next instant.

"Come on, open the porcelain bottle and let the little snake out."

The elder in the red robe did as instructed.

The little snake, acting as the carrier of the key, had no consciousness whatsoever; once released, it kept searching for the engraving.

Even without consciousness, it is still a living being.

With a blink of its red eyes, the divine sense precisely coiled around the small snake, tightly enveloping it.

Become!

Guan Xun's face lit up with joy, and he immediately withdrew his divine sense.

Her divine sense instantly returned like a gentle breeze, carrying the small snake steadily into her sleeve.

Unfortunately, she couldn't store a live snake in her storage ring, so she had to hide the little snake well to avoid it being discovered.

Thinking this, she flipped her hand and tightly kneaded the small snake into a ball in her palm.

In the passage.

The red-robed elder snapped back to his senses, shook his head, and felt that the dizziness he had just experienced had come and gone quickly.

Has he been working too hard lately?

He frowned, reached down to touch his waist, and seeing that the small porcelain bottle was still there, he didn't think much of it and quickly headed towards the entrance.

As we walked out of the corridor, the Mud Woman happened to look up and asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything unusual inside?"

"No." Both the red-robed man and the eagle-eyed man shook their heads.

The mud woman was deep in thought.

She didn't find anything unusual either. Could it be that the team members accidentally bumped into it?

Meanwhile, Bai Ze, from the outer guard team, squeezed into the crowd, tiptoed and peered into the hall. Seeing the solemn expressions of the elders inside, he also became somewhat worried.

Could it be that Guan Xun's whereabouts have been exposed?

Just as he was feeling anxious, a clear and cool spiritual energy transmitted over.

"After the transport of the Crystal Black Liquid is finished, if the transport team asks about my whereabouts, just say that because of the champion of the last Holy Vanguard Selection Tournament, the Holy Spirit Goddess specially summoned me, and let them go."

"Also, you need to find a way to stay outside the tower, anywhere within the walls, just wait for my orders."

Bai Ze was taken aback. Although he was full of doubts, he still lowered his voice and agreed.

Explaining his whereabouts is simple; after all, everyone in the True Inheritance Hall knows he is Guan Xun's servant, and they mention him wherever they go—it makes sense.

We can definitely fool Xuanhei and his gang.

As for asking him to find a way to stay outside the tower...

Bai Ze's gaze swept over the guards standing on both sides of the pavilion door, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, and he had already made up his mind.

After giving her instructions, Guan Xun mingled into the crowd. She squeezed the small snake in her hand, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Given Bai Ze's strength, there's absolutely no way he could enter the tower under the elders' noses. Having him wait on the outside is the safest option.

If everything goes smoothly, once Chi Rong is rescued, he will have a chance to prove himself.

After all, they have a special connection with each other, and as long as the distance is not too far, they can communicate with each other at any time.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The elders who conducted the investigation all shook their heads, indicating that there was nothing unusual.

“Grandma, what do you see…?” Hawkeye asked, his gaze sweeping over the frozen crowd in the hall.

The Mud Woman waved her hand: "Continue moving the crystal black liquid. Behave yourself and don't touch or rub it everywhere."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt as if they had been granted a pardon.

Some people looked at each other, their eyes filled with bewilderment at the investigation. It was just a sudden buzzing sound, yet it had made the situation so serious. They really couldn't understand what had happened.

No one dared to ask any more questions; they could only hurry up and rush back into those deep, dark corridors.

Guan Xun also followed the team, carrying loads back and forth several times.

Seeing that the elders' expressions gradually eased and the tense atmosphere in the hall dissipated considerably, they stopped in their tracks during the break on their way back from the corridor.

Listening closely, and waiting until there was no sound of people around, she immediately reached into her sleeve and pulled out the small snake.

As soon as it was grabbed, the little snake thrashed about for a moment before quickly darting toward the mark.

The moment the snake's body precisely aligned with the engraving, a flash of light appeared, but without the harsh buzzing sound that had been heard before.

The wooden wall at the carved mark trembled silently, and the black vortex door quietly appeared.

A sharp glint flashed in Guan Xun's eyes, and he swiftly slipped inside.

As soon as I stepped inside, I took the little snake back.

The vortex gate behind them vanished instantly, and the wooden wall closed up without a trace.

Almost instantly, she sensed that the connection between her and Chi Rong was growing stronger.

This means they are getting closer and closer.

Guan Xun looked around and was shocked to realize that this place was actually a void.

The fact that the ground beneath one's feet felt solid and wouldn't sink suggests that there's an unseen realm hidden beneath it.

It might be the place that trapped Chi Rong.

She frowned and asked in a low voice, "Jin Chen, can you tear open the void beneath your feet and go straight into that unseen space?"

"can."

Before Guan Xun could even show any joy, he abruptly changed the subject.

"However, once the tear is forcibly made, the person who set it up will immediately notice the anomaly."

"What?" Guan Xun's face darkened.

It's obvious that once she's discovered, she won't have time to save Chi Rong, and she might not even have time to leave.

She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly sent a telepathic message to the outside of the tower: "Bai Ze, can you hear me?"

Bai Ze, standing outside the tower, was taken aback and quickly replied, "What's wrong? Are we retreating now? You're too quick! You've already rescued that giant snake?"

"..." Guan Xun found him annoying and said indifferently, "It's good that you can hear me."

As she spoke, she let out a long breath, thankfully she could still transmit her voice even in the void.

Jin Chen suddenly spoke up: "Do you need me to kill her for you?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Xun was slightly taken aback.

"You mean the goddess?"

"Ah."

"So now you can kill people without any reason?"

He used to constantly talk about the excessive killing, but now he doesn't care about cause and effect anymore.

"It's none of your business," Jin Chen said.

"..." Guan Xun remained silent. "What if you can't beat them? We'll both die here."

Upon hearing this, Jin Chen fell silent, a rare occurrence for him.

"See? See? You weren't sure either."

“That’s not the case.” Jin Chen shook his head and added, “It’s just that this calamity is extremely ominous, and I don’t want to see you get hurt.”

"Must we undergo tribulations?" Guan Xun asked.

"They will inevitably undergo tribulations."

"Since it's a tribulation that everyone has to go through, just let it take its natural course. Interfering with someone else's destiny or tribulation will have dire consequences," Guan Xun said with a smile.

Just like when Chi Rong picked flowers to save her, he ended up losing his own life.

"It's alright." Jin Chen's tone was slightly somber.

"Tch—" Guan Xun raised an eyebrow. "That won't do. You're quite good-looking, and I haven't had enough sleep yet."

"..." Jin Chen.

"Hahaha."

After laughing, Guan Xun composed himself: "The cause planted seven million years ago should now bear fruit."

After a murmur, she looked around at the pitch-black surroundings, lifted her foot and stepped forward, while her divine sense continuously spread outwards.

There must be another passage leading down here, otherwise it would be redundant for the vortex entrance to lead directly to this empty void.
