The inside of the Soul Refining Sect was pitch black, so he couldn't see inside. Mu Xiaoling had wanted to enter the cave to check out the situation, but she didn't expect that the cave would actually go straight up and down.

She felt nothing beneath her feet, and she fell straight down.

What she saw was pitch-black, and she could only hear silence in her ears. It was as if she was the only one left in the world.

However, after falling for so long, she still couldn't see the bottom.

"Bottomless Pit?"

Mu Xiaoling muttered to himself. With a stern look on his face, he said coldly, "I don't believe that there is a bottomless pit in this world."

Closing her eyes, she emptied her mind and heart. She carefully listened for any movements around her, neither hurried nor slow.

Suddenly, an extremely weak sound of the wind was heard!

Left!

Mu Xiaoling suddenly opened her eyes and turned around to the left. She stretched out her hands and touched a protruding stone.

When she touched the rock, she actually retreated backwards. A beam of light shot down from above and the surroundings immediately changed. It was no longer the bottomless pit but a low pit. Looking up, one could faintly see the light entering the cave.

However, when she tried to jump on it, she found that there seemed to be a force preventing her from circulating the true essence in her body.

The stone wall was smooth. Without the support of her true essence, she wouldn't be able to go up.

Since she couldn't go up, she could only take a look inside. Waiting for death wasn't her style.

Mu Xiaoling looked at the only entrance and stepped inside.

This distance of one step was like two different worlds. The outside was simple and crude, but the inside was paved with white jade, while the inside was a wall of gold. It was so luxurious that it was rarely seen in the world.

He carefully made his way through the long corridor and arrived at a stone room. The stone room was luxurious, filled with treasures, a warm jade carved drawing bed, boxes of gold and elixirs, all piled up in the corner. There was only a dusty praying mat on the ground, which was especially eye-catching when compared to the luxurious room.

Mu Xiaoling sneered as he glanced around. He understood that wealth moved people's hearts. The Soul Refining Sect was simply making people choose these things to sit on the praying mat and resist the temptation of wealth.

To put it bluntly, it was better to give you two choices, one being the wrong one and the other being the right one.

"Why should I, Mu Xiaoling, be manipulated by you? I don't want to choose anything." Mu Xiaoling muttered to herself as she walked into the stone room and directly walked to the side of the warm jade bed.

She had just discovered that there was a strange carving of a beast at the head of the bed. It was actually facing upwards.

She pushed the animal's head up, and the bed flipped over, revealing a passage that led straight down into the darkness.

Mu Xiaoling glanced around and saw a burning candle beside the bed. She pulled it towards the light and walked down the stairs.

At that moment, countless silver spiders flooded in from outside, leaving behind a charred area. In the blink of an eye, they had arrived at the center of the stone chamber.

"What a poisonous spider!" Mu Xiaoling's heart skipped a beat as she ran down the stairs.

Spider followed her down the passage.

The spider's speed became faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, it was about to touch her feet. Mu Xiaoling bit her lips as she covered her head with her hands and rolled downwards.

At the bottom of the stairs was a huge underground cave. The chilly wind mixed with water vapor blew across her body, bringing with it a bone-piercing coldness.

Mu Xiaoling didn't care about the bruises on his body as he rolled on the ground and stood up. Then, he rapidly ran forward. His movements were smooth without the slightest delay.

However, what she did not notice was that the spider swarm seemed to have felt an immense threat the moment they touched the ground, and retreated like a receding tide.

Mu Xiaoling didn't know how long she had been running for but she was limping. Even though her speed gradually slowed down, if one looked carefully, they would notice that every step she took was the same. Her expression was still firm as if her body full of wounds wasn't hers.

The further they went, the colder it became. It was as if the cold was trying to blow away anyone who approached it.

However, in this sort of situation, if one did not advance, then only death awaited them. Perhaps, there would still be some hope for survival in front of them.

Mu Xiaoling wasn't the type of person who would give up. Even though her eyebrows and lips were snow-white, her black hair was still snow-white. Even though her blood had almost frozen solid, she still moved forward step by step.

In front of him was a vast expanse of underground ice, without any end in sight. It was as if he couldn't see any hope.

Mu Xiaoling had reached her limit.

Suddenly, a low sigh inexplicably sounded in his ears. Following that, a deep and gorgeous male voice suddenly sounded out, sounding confused. "Little girl, why are you so persistent?"

"Who is it!" Mu Xiaoling turned her head and saw that she was the only one in the vicinity.

The man's voice was silent for a moment: "You don't need to know who I am. Answer my question."

Mu Xiaoling said, "Why should I return it to you?"

The man said, "How about I tell you the way to get out?"

Mu Xiaoling said in disdain, "If it's only this kind of attitude, I don't need to do it. I can do it myself."

The man seemed to find it funny. "You look like you're going to freeze to death. Do you really not need it?"

Mu Xiaoling didn't seem to care. "Do you know that there is a type of magic called 'rabbit transformation'?"

"Magic?" The man had never heard the term before. "What's that?"

"A technique." Mu Xiaoling couldn't be bothered to explain.

"The magician put the rabbit in a box, and when he opened it, the rabbit was gone. In fact, the rabbit wasn't really missing, but because there was a layer inside the box. It was like a mirror that separated the inside from the outside."

As she spoke, she took two steps forward. "I was curious as to why the icicles on the ground and the fracture appear to be the same. I just changed my direction."

The corner of Mu Xiaoling's mouth twitched. "That's because this is the mirror that separates rabbits. This is also the reason why you followed me for so long." After being stared at for such a long time, how could she not feel anything? It was just that she could not find him, so she pretended to not know anything.

After saying that, without waiting for the man to speak, she used all the strength she had left and punched in front of her. With a crisp sound, thin pieces of ice scattered in all directions, revealing the scene behind them.

It was a patch of Merlin.

Merlin, who was in the ice plains, saw bright red petals as white as snow falling slowly, as if they were on fire. In the depths of Merlin was an ice coffin, and inside the ice coffin was a man, a very handsome man who seemed to have walked out from a painting.

He wore a robe with golden cloud patterns, and had a jade crown on his head. His facial features were as perfect as a knife. Even though he was already a dead man, he still exuded an awe-inspiring aura, making people unable to look at him directly.
