C57

A portal shining red and black appeared on the battling field.

"Everyone, the passage is open, hurry up and enter!" Lei Cheng let out a loud shout and walked in first.

After all, this was a path he had opened, and it was an area he had never explored before. If there was any danger, he, the 'strongest' within the sect, would be the first to enter.

Seeing that Lei Cheng had entered, Ji Shengan also put away the smile on his face. He then put away his treasure sword and slipped into the zither one by one.

Elders, inner sect disciples, and finally the outer sect disciples, Mu Lingfeng and the other two were the only ones left.

Just as Mu Lingfeng was about to enter, two out of ten people turned their heads to look at him. A trace of killing intent flashed in their eyes.

A rumor reached Mu Lingfeng's ears.

"My brother died because of you. Don't worry, once this matter is settled, the day of the outer sect competition will be the day you die. At that time, let's see who else will be able to stand out and help you!"

After hesitating for a moment, Mu Lingfeng stepped in firmly. Towards the threat of these two people, he did not care at all. After all, he was no longer the him from before.

Even though these two had only threatened him for a moment, Mu Lingfeng knew who they were. Among the people ranked in the outer sect, there were three in the top ten, and three in the bottom four.

It was a terrifying sight to see someone at the peak of the Refinement Realm occupying the top rank all year round. Unfortunately, when they saw Mu Lingfeng again, they discovered that he was truly different.

….

When he landed on the ground, his feet were covered in puddles of water which extended all the way to his calves. The water color was extremely muddy, as if there was something floating in the water.

Mu Lingfeng was dumbfounded as he did not know why there was such a puddle of water. After all, this was the tomb of the Daoist Master Yu Xu, and shouldn't there be dust and sand here as well?

When he entered, the passage was unstable, and Mu Lingfeng was the only one present. As for the others, he did not see any of them.

Before he came here, Lei Sheng had given him a Communication Ring. It was said that the entire Void Sword Sect only had four or five of these. They were extremely expensive, and were used to quickly arrive at his side after entering this place.

It was unknown if it was because it was too big or if it was because Mu Lingfeng had been walking in the water for several days and had not seen a single person. In the communication ring, Lei Cheng's voice came from the moment he entered and told him to head east.

Sounds of 'chi chi' constantly rang in his ears, but when Mu Lingfeng stopped to inspect the surroundings, he realized that there was nothing there.

A few more days passed, and Mu Lingfeng discovered something horrifying. He had completely lost his way, and couldn't find any of the four directions: east, south, west and north.

What should he do, Mu Lingfeng was dumbfounded. After all, he was not familiar with this place, and even if there was this communication ring, he could tell Master Lei Cheng about the situation here. Unfortunately, he couldn't immediately come to his side.

After thinking for a while, he realized that the water level around him was rising and was slowly reaching his waist. He could even faintly feel a bone-piercing sensation.

Mu Lingfeng bent down and dipped a finger into the water. Carefully sensing the water, he discovered that there was a tiny bit of elemental energy coming from the finger.

This kind of elemental energy was not the pure elemental energy that he had developed through training himself. Instead, it was overbearing and corrosive.

Taking out the finger from the other party's storage ring, Zhang Xuan realized that the surface of his finger had started to fester slightly.

Suddenly, Mu Linfeng thought of something and started to tilt his body. He lifted a leg out of the water and discovered that the boots under his feet were all gone. His whole leg was festering and there were all kinds of small cracks covering his entire foot.

His lower body clothes, which were originally submerged in the water, had almost completely rotted away. Looking at this scene, Mu Lingfeng turned pale with fright, his eyes filled with worry.

The unknown was often the first step to destroying one's mind. For example, right now, this was the tomb of Spiritual Master Yuxian, but he didn't know what the water here was.

Without thinking too much, he ran in the midst of his worry. The moment he ran, he discovered that the water pressure was increasing rapidly. It was just a moment ago, but it had reached his chest in just a few breaths.

Moreover, there was a feeling of entrapment that caused him to run extremely slowly. He had no choice but to use all the elemental energy in his body to protect himself.

In the end, he discovered that his soul force had mysteriously disappeared into the water, attracted from who knew what.

"Oh my god. Just what kind of place is this, and how can it be so terrifying!? " After complaining for a while, he activated the communication ring. He wanted to tell his master about the situation here and ask him to come and save himself.

At this time, perhaps Master Lei Cheng had seen him stay silent for a long time, and coincidentally sent a message to Mu Lingfeng at this time.

"You brat, what's wrong, why are you getting further and further away, I can't even sense your existence, what's wrong, forget it, don't move, I dare you to come as fast as I can, don't move anymore!"

Err … Mu Lingfeng still wanted to say something, but the words of his master caused him to not know what to do and he just stood there in a daze.

The corrosion under his feet was getting stronger and stronger. The elemental energy emitted from his body and formed a protective layer. It was completely useless. It was as if there was a powerful demonic beast in the water that was constantly devouring his elemental energy and flesh.

What should I do now? I don't even know when Master will come. If this goes on, I probably won't even be able to wait until Master is here. I would rather sink into the water myself. I should think of something.

Looking left and right, he discovered a piece of brown wood floating over from afar. It wasn't a big piece of wood, but according to Mu Lingfeng's estimation, it should be enough for his entire body to stay on.

It's close, it's close. In Mu Lingfeng's line of sight, that log that was floating over from afar was caught by him with one hand and held under his arm. He crawled towards the top of the log with all his might.

The time was simply too long, Mu Lingfeng's lower body had already lost all feeling, so he could not muster up any strength, so it was difficult for him to climb up in an instant.

He slowly rose into the air and slowly floated out of the water. After some time had passed, a cup of tea had been brewed and half of his body was already lying on top of the log. He let out a sigh of relief and slowly rested for a while, then planned to climb up in one go.

In the end, at this moment, a terrified shout came from the distance: "Lingfeng, quickly come down, leave that wooden log immediately!"
