Chapter 313: Bottom of the Swamp!

“Gurgle! Gurgle!”

Hovering above the edge of the swamp, the group faintly heard the sound of flowing water.

Hearing the noise, Hou Yunfeng suspiciously said to Ma Dayuan, “Brother Dayuan, there seems to be an underground river below. And judging by the sound, it flows from outside the high walls into the swamp!”

“This whole journey has been nothing but barren hills. Even the wells in the ancient city have all dried up. Where could such a large underground river come from?” Ma Dayuan's face was also filled with astonishment.

“Stop worrying about the underground river. The Sect Master wants us to scout ahead, so let’s just focus on that!” One of the elders from the Wan Du Sect impatiently interjected after overhearing their conversation.

“Hmph!”

“Elder Cui, you’re so loyal to Old Monster Liu, but in the end, he treats you like a dog!”

Hearing the elder’s urging, Ma Dayuan snorted disdainfully.

Elder Cui’s face immediately flushed with anger at Ma Dayuan’s words, but he did not retaliate.

“Brother Dayuan, be careful what you say!” Hou Yunfeng quickly cautioned Ma Dayuan.

“What’s there to fear? I’m speaking the truth. Do you think we can leave this relic alive?” Ma Dayuan stated bluntly.

After his words fell, the two Wan Du Sect elders, the Han family head, and Hou Yunfeng fell silent.

They were all well aware of Liu Rulong’s cruelty. Regardless of whether they found any treasures in the relic, they feared Liu Rulong would silence them in the end.

“Brother Dayuan, what should we do now?” they all turned to Ma Dayuan for guidance.

“What should we do? We can only take it one step at a time. Hopefully, something will kill Old Monster Liu!” Although they were some distance from Liu Rulong, Ma Dayuan still spoke in a whisper.

In just a few words, Ma Dayuan had become their beacon of hope.

Due to the dense poisonous fog above, Ma Dayuan and his group stayed about seven or eight meters above the swamp, moving deeper.

Just as they were about to disappear from Liu Rulong’s sight, he relaxed and began following the route they had taken.

Behind Liu Rulong, Xiao Yi Xian waited a moment before gracefully flying over the white wall.

Following Liu Rulong, Xiao Yi Xian also heard the sound of the underground river.

Sensing the danger behind her, Xiao Yi Xian suddenly thought of the underground river.

Perhaps not all of this place was a swamp; maybe it was like the Green Water Lake beneath.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi Xian didn’t hesitate. Before Liu Rulong’s hand could grab her, she dove straight down into the swamp.

Splash!

Xiao Yi Xian’s figure broke through a half-meter-thick layer of mud-like material and disappeared from Liu Rulong’s sight.

“Damn it, not this trick again!”

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian dive into the swamp, Liu Rulong was stunned.

In the next moment, he furiously launched several attacks, bombarding the swamp surface.

Instantly, the mud-like substance of the swamp sprayed everywhere under his assault, revealing the green water beneath.

After several attacks and failing to find Xiao Yi Xian, Liu Rulong left in frustration, not daring to enter the green water himself.

...

At the bottom of the swamp, Xiao Yi Xian was completely immersed in the toxic green water, but the aura within her body began to surge wildly.

Previously, in the circular Green Water Lake, the sight of rotting corpses and the indescribable stench had made her unwilling to stay, even though the poisonous water could enhance her cultivation. Now, she had no such concerns.
