Curiosity forced Cen Xue to quickly get up. She casually tidied herself up and opened the door, preparing to follow him out. However, Wen Qing and a few palace maids were waiting outside the door. If she didn't lift up her mistress' airs, she really wouldn't be able to shake them off.

Along the way, he asked a few members of the sect and learned that Elder Mu Yue had gone to the forbidden area with him.

"Forbidden area? What kind of place is the forbidden area? " Cen Xue silently asked herself.

He couldn't care so much anymore. Since he had already followed her today, he might as well continue to follow her.

They walked along a small path, but this place seemed rather remote. Along the way, there were no longer any members of the church. No wonder it was a forbidden area, and there was no one here.

Cen Xue walked in alone, but it seemed as if she had reached the end. There were only a few empty stone walls here, and there was nothing at all? Strange, where did they go?

At the end of the path, there seemed to be no way out. What could she do? After walking for such a long time, she had reached a dead end. She really suspected that she had taken the wrong path, or those people had pointed her in the wrong direction.

Or perhaps, this place had a secret mechanism. As he thought about it, he began to search for a mechanism on several walls. Usually, there was a small mechanism nearby.

But after searching for a long time, there were only a few potholes on the stone wall and nothing. It seemed that she had taken the wrong path this time.

So tired, she had been tormenting herself all morning, and now she was asking for trouble!

He retreated to the side, preparing to sit down and rest before returning, but there was nothing on the ground. Forget it, he would just need to lean on his own breath for a while before returning.

Cen Xue leaned her back against the stone wall and sighed. She could only helplessly lean her head back. She really knows how to cause pain for herself. It was the same in the past, but now …

Just as she was sighing and complaining, the stone wall in the middle suddenly seemed to have a reaction. After shaking it a little, it actually slowly rose up. What was going on? Cen Xue still didn't know what had happened? She didn't seem to have touched any traps, right?

It was undeniable that humans had an extremely high intelligence several thousand years ago. Even though this was not the world she lived on, they were not far from each other.

Cen Xue looked at the slowly rising stone door and hesitated for a moment. However, her curiosity was piqued and she unconsciously stepped in.

It was very dark inside, making it difficult for her to see the road in front of her clearly. She could only slowly move forward, one step, two steps, three steps …

Suddenly, there were many torches lit up around the cave, lighting up the entire cave. This made it convenient for Cen Xue to observe the layout of the cave.

He continued to walk forward. There seemed to be a lot of space inside, but there was nothing in this cave. There was only a small path that led straight to the inside. What exactly was inside? Why did Elder Mu Yue and Li Jun often come here?

Fortunately, this cave was not as eerie as the one in Lou Lan's underground palace. It felt like a treasure trove, with nothing around and nothing making any noise. However, one could occasionally hear the sound of water dripping onto rocks.

When she finally reached the end, she realized that there was only one small pond inside. Other than that, she really didn't notice anything special about this place. How could this be a forbidden area?

Cen Xue walked to the side of the pool in confusion. She didn't know whether to look at it or not, but this glance had scared her back a few steps. So this wasn't any kind of pond at all.

A pool of blood...

In the forbidden area, she finally understood what he meant. It was sad that Elder Yue had brought Li Jun here. Could it be that she wanted him to come here to drink blood?

The only thing she could think of was this. How many people would she have to kill for such a large pool of blood … Heavens, this was too scary …

Standing next to the blood pool and looking at it, she felt like vomiting. However, another discovery surfaced in her mind. Why couldn't she smell any blood from such a big pool? And she was standing so close that she couldn't smell it at all?

Cen Xue hesitated for a few seconds, but she couldn't control herself and walked a few steps forward until she reached the edge of the blood pool. Her eyes stared unwaveringly at the blood pool …

All of a sudden, she saw something at the bottom of the pool, but it was very vague. What was it? Just as she was puzzled, a white light suddenly rushed up from the bottom of the pool, illuminating the cave as if it was outside. Cen Xue's eyes felt particularly uncomfortable, and they even felt a little stinging!

"Cen Xue …" A voice came from the exit of the cave. Helian Shan and Mu Yue discovered that the stone door of the forbidden area was actually opened. They hurriedly ran in.

Because Cen Xue's eyes were stung by the white light, she did not dare to open them. However, she could tell that the owner of the voice was Helian Lie, and as she covered her eyes with one hand, she wanted to turn around and walk towards him. However, she suddenly realized that her body was not in sync with the man's, and her legs did not seem to listen to her, causing her to fall into the pool of blood.

"Ah …" "Boom …" Cen Xue yelled at him in fear.

Helian Lie used all his strength to rush forward, but he was still a step too late. He could only watch as Cen Xue fell into the blood pool. After Cen Xue fell into the blood pool, the strange white light brought Cen Xue along with it and quickly disappeared.

"Xue'er …" Helian Lie knelt on the ground beside the blood pool, unable to believe what he had just witnessed. His Cen Xue, his beloved woman, had she been swallowed by the blood pool just like that?

Mu Yue behind him was also shocked by the scene in front of her. What was that white light that disappeared along with Cen Xue? Could it be the spiritual energy of the previous High Priestess? Or was it the ancient divine object at the bottom of the pool?

He only remembered Cen Xue's pained expression as she yelled at him, and then her entire body was submerged in the blood pool, surrounded by a strange white light. In the blink of an eye, Cen Xue had disappeared along with the white light. Who could explain it to him?

Why was Cen Xue here? Why would she appear in a forbidden area? Why did he jump into the blood pool? Why?

"Your Majesty …"

Mu Yue's voice rang from behind him, making Helian Shan suddenly realize that Elder Mu Yue was here.

"Elder Mu Yue, what happened?" Had the lonely Cen Xue been swallowed by this blood pond? "Hurry up and answer me, Gu …" His heart was burning with anxiety, and his eyes were bloodshot. Every time he was angry or anxious, he would have this kind of expression.

"Your Majesty, calm down! This is not like being swallowed up by a pool of blood, but more like the Empress being taken away by something. " Mu Yue and him had personally seen that white light, and Cen Xue seemed to have been brought away by that white light.

Helian Shan gradually calmed down from her words. He was taken away? What was taken away? That white light?

"Your Majesty, when the three saints were baptized, they stayed in the pool for a while. It was as if they were asleep, before they slowly sank. They did not come back up after that, and there was no white light either." But Xue Fei's situation is different. Your Majesty has personally witnessed this too! " Mu Yue knew of Cen Xue's background and knew that her identity was rather special. Could that ray of light from earlier have sent her back to the space where she used to live?

In this way, wouldn't that girl be able to come back? But my Lord …

The more Mu Yue thought about it, the uglier her expression became. It was with great difficulty that the king finally found her happiness. She really couldn't bear to see the king continue to be so heartbroken.

Helian Zhang looked at Mu Yue's distressed expression. Deep down, he felt that she should know a lot of things that he didn't. Perhaps she knew where Cen Xue had been taken by that light?

"Elder, you have watched me grow up since I was young. I know that you have always been good to me, so please don't lie to me now, and tell me everything you know, okay? Tell Gu Cen Xue where she went. Can she still come back? " Helian Shan's eyes became dimmer and dimmer, and his face was filled with grief.

The two of them had just escaped from a calamity and finally managed to get rid of the various things that had happened before. Now, why did the heavens treat him like this? They had brought him to heaven with one hand, but they had also dragged him down to hell with the other.

Mu Yue let out a long sigh, "I wonder if Your Highness knows where the Empress came from? Has the Empress said anything to the King? "

"What do you mean? All he knew was that Cen Xue was the woman that Zhao Changde had chosen from the Yongxiang Tower to enter the palace to solitarily resist the curse. As for the rest of the people, he had never asked her, and she had never mentioned a single word to him either. "Previously, our relationship was extremely tense, and she was thinking of escaping from the palace almost every day. We can only say that we don't know anything about Cen Xue's origins!" Only now did Helian Lie realize his recklessness and carelessness.

Mu Yue knew that the king would answer her like this, so she didn't blame him. At that time, the king had tortured her to the point that she almost died, so no one would say these things to the person they hated the most.

"Your Majesty, this old woman once probed that little girl. Do you remember how you hurt her until she was on the verge of death?" Mu Yue tried to recall his memories.

Helian Lie nodded. He remembered of course that time when she had fled the palace with Chunyu Qian in private, but she had returned because of a few dog slaves. She had been locked up in the cold underground prison and had almost lost her life.

"It's good that you remember. That time when I went to see her, that girl told me all her secrets." She told him that she did not belong here, that she did not belong to Lou Lan, and that she did not belong to this Easton Continent. She came from another world, so she decided to leave and return to the place that originally belonged to her! " This was all she knew. If what Cen Xue said was true, then that white light might very well have brought her back to her original world.

Helian Lie also understood what Elder Mu Yue meant. She was indeed like a fairy that had descended from the heavens, beautiful and pure. That smile and frown, or perhaps it was those pitiful eyes, could instantly capture the burning heart in his heart.

So that was the case. She was indeed a fairy, a fairy that didn't belong here. So that was the case …

"Cen Xue... "Lonely Xue'er …" Helian Shan tried to persuade himself. Cen Xue had already returned to her world, but no matter what, deep in his heart, he was still calling out to her.

"Your Majesty …"

Mu Yue wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it. She could only take two steps back and silently accompany him.

His mouth seemed to be mumbling something all along, but Mu Yue, who was behind him, could not hear anything. Only he himself knew what he was saying …
