C269

The sudden voice scared me, so I quickly jumped behind the tall figure of Zi Sang Ming and hid myself well.

How could there be anyone else!

However, according to Zi Sang Ming's perception, there was no way he wouldn't know that someone had come. He was actually such a villain. Wasn't he purposely trying to make me look bad?

The newcomer was a young man, holding a long tusk in his hand. He looked a little like a civil servant from one of the dynasties in a TV show, except that this civil servant was dressed casually. He was dressed in a simple Luo Wen green robe with a pure black ribbon tied around his waist, as if he was out in the spring.

However, the young man's pale face and scarlet lips were a little out of place, adding a layer of strangeness to his leisurely appearance.

"Your Highness has finally arrived. I have been waiting here for a long time." The young man slowly bowed towards Zi Sang Ming and said.

Zi Sang Ming nodded, then said concisely, "Open the door."

The youth bowed again, and a huge crack appeared in the empty space behind him. Soon after, a huge door that connected the heaven and the earth appeared, splitting the space apart, revealing a dark, indiscernible interior.

It was the first time that I had seen such a spectacular sight. I didn't even stop my eyes as I looked straight at the darkness within the door, but before I could see what was inside, there was a sudden boom in my head, as if something had punched me in the depths of my mind. My vision went dark, and if Zishan Ming hadn't found out that he had covered my eyes in time and covered the darkness, I would have fainted.

"Don't look around," Zishan Ming said in a reproachful tone, "The Underworld is connected to the other five realms. There is no guarantee that any space opening will lead to that place. If you look at it directly, your soul will be sucked away."

What? He could even absorb souls! Didn't I just send my own soul into the black hole? Heavens, why are there so many minefields here? I should just follow behind Zishan Ming and not look around anymore.

I quickly pursed my lips and stopped talking. Then, I hid behind Zishan Ming.

That young man, he can't just look around and not say anything about it. He made me curious about how Sang Ming would teach him a lesson.

"Achoo." The youth suddenly sneezed as he rubbed his nose helplessly. Smiling, he said, "Your Highness, there's no need to be so cautious. This door was left behind by the old Pluto. It can only lead to the Ghost Seal Palace."

Zi Sang Ming glared fiercely at the young man and said, "Of course I'll be cautious with this king's woman. Even if I made a few mistakes, you wouldn't be able to pay me back in the hundreds or thousands. Scram."

Hiding behind Zi Sang Ming, I heard him say this. Not to mention his face, my entire body was red.

It's rare for him to defend me so openly in front of others. What's going on today? Why did he have to say such blatant words? It was so embarrassing!

"Raise your head."

Inside, it was pitch black, and I was still thinking about what he had just said when I kept my head down and followed her like a little lackey. I had only taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped, I didn't notice, and slammed into him.

"It hurts. Why did you suddenly stop?"

Zi Sang Ming held my face, but his hands didn't move at all. The previously dark surroundings were suddenly lit up by the dim yellow light that couldn't be found.

The brightness of this light was just right. Even if it suddenly appeared, it would not dazzle the eyes.

I wiped away the tears on my face and looked at Zishan Ming. Perhaps it was because of the light, but his face didn't look that pale anymore. He even looked alive.

"Does it hurt?" Zi Sang Ming rubbed my nose and asked.

I shook my head.

Even if he was in pain, he basically didn't feel anything from being treated so gently.

As a king standing in a high position, his gentleness was rarely seen. This made this hint of gentleness appear especially hard to come by.

He held me by the hand and we walked on. For a long time, the dark space seemed to not only absorb the light from the outside, but also to destroy all sound. It was so quiet that I couldn't even hear my breath. I panicked a little.

"Zi Sang Ming, when we entered earlier, did you ask that person how long it would take for us to walk from the entrance to the Ghost Seal Palace?"

We seemed to have been walking for more than an hour, and not only did we not see any sign of the palace, we did not seem to have gone far. I had always had a feeling that although we were moving forward, the moment we turned our heads, the huge door that connected the sky and the earth might be right behind us.

"After entering this space, we are not on a straight path. Although it looks like we are going forward, we are actually heading towards a few other obstacles that are not in the Underworld."

As if to confirm Zishan Ming's words, before he finished his words, the yellow light that was originally only around us suddenly lit up not far behind Zishan Ming in the darkness. And compared to the yellow light around us, the light was like the sudden setting of a sun in the dark.

"What is that!" Startled, I grabbed Zi Sang Ming's arm and asked in a trembling voice.

"That's the checkpoint we're going to next." Zishan Ming looked behind him and said in a deep voice, "This is sunlight, it seems like this place leads to the mortal world."

Then if we go over, do we have to go straight back to the mortal world? Aren't the trials ahead all for nothing?

I quickly grabbed onto Zishan Ming and stopped my steps, "Can we bypass this checkpoint? We haven't even gotten the Ghost Seal, and we came back for nothing?"

Zi Sang Ming laughed. He raised his hand and pointed at the space between my eyebrows. "I can't hide from the pass, but I can't come here for nothing. There's nothing to worry about. I'll just pass."

Simply put, let's see how the other stages are passed and what must be left behind! In the meat forest, he had almost lost his life, who knew what this trial would be like.

"Yan Nuo." Just as I was about to get anxious, Zi Sang Ming's voice suddenly softened as he called out my name. Then, word by word, he said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

It was only four words, yet it was like a spell smashing into my heart. I couldn't even pull it out.

That's right, Zi Sang Ming was here. As long as he was here, everything could be solved. Perhaps my trust was too blind, I was too addicted to Zishan Ming, but the fact was that when he said, "I'm here," the stone that was hanging in my throat really fell to the ground.

When I relaxed, I felt like laughing myself. I was still wounded when I left the meat forest, and now that he said "I'm here," why should I believe him? Who gave you the courage? Liang Jingru?

As the light got closer, the strength of Zi Sang Ming's grip on my hand increased bit by bit. The light constantly changed from bright to dim, causing me to be unable to open my eyes.

"Wait!"

Just as we were about to step through the door that was lit up with light, a voice suddenly sounded out. I was afraid that it was my imagination, so I asked Zishan Ming, "Is someone calling us?"

Zi Sang Ming frowned. It was obvious that my question was correct. Someone was actually calling for us.

And this voice was very familiar.

"Didn't Mu Yu go to send Mu Xuanyin off? It's impossible for us to come back so soon, did we hear wrong? "I thought for a second, this is the place where the checkpoint is hidden, my heart immediately tightened," Is it some barrier that wants to confuse us and then break it one by one?

When I said this, I even brought Sang Ming behind me. His body hasn't fully recovered yet, so he can't fight …

"Don't worry." Zi Sang Ming held my hand and smiled, "It's not a hallucination, it's real."

With that, a pair of hands reached out from the darkness behind me and grabbed me. Then, Sang Ming smacked me aside.

Mu Yu appeared in front of me, feeling wronged and wronged. "Seriously, ever since your highness followed your highness, I have never touched your highness."

Zi Sang Ming frowned, "Impudent."

Mu Yu hastily hid behind me. "This little subject doesn't dare."

After they finished their series of dialogue, only then did I finally accept this fact, and asked Mu Yurou, "Didn't you go to Mu Xuannan? Why are you here?"

Mu Yu's mouth was still pursed as she said, "I already sent them there a long time ago, only then did I rush over."

Hm? There seemed to be something wrong with the time.

Mu Yu had to walk Mu Xuenan to the Underworld for at least a few days, how could she be here so quickly?

When Zishan Ming saw the confusion on my face, he explained to me, "The time in this passage is much slower than the outside. Do you think that we have already stayed here for a day? Maybe a year has passed in the outside world."

That is to say, I thought that we had walked for an hour. In fact, we have already walked for many days.

My heart suddenly thumped. If that's really the case, then the Bone Enchantment Poison in my mother's body has already taken effect! But we haven't gotten the Ghost Seal yet! What to do!

In my anxiety, my eyes started to blur. I grabbed onto Zishan Ming's clothes and said, "Let's hurry. I'm worried about my mother."

Zi Sang Ming patted my shoulder, then shook his head and said, "It's fine, the time in the inverted mirror is different from the outside world. The time in the inverted mirror is different from the outside world." Zi Sang Ming patted my shoulder, and shook his head, then said, "It's fine, the time in the inverted mirror is different from the outside world.

Mu Yu was afraid that I wouldn't believe her, so she took out a small mirror to let me take a look. Inside the mirror, it reflected the time of the world, and it really was the day I left.

Only then did I relax and follow Zishan Ming and Mu Yu to the door that leads to the Yang Barrier.

After the sun had gone down, my eyes stayed in the darkness for too long. Suddenly, I found the light hard to accept. After resting for a long time, I was finally able to see.

We were actually at the entrance of a small district, a district that I was extremely familiar with. The security guard was wearing a blue uniform. While chatting with the woman selling vegetables on the street, he lazily stopped the passing cars and refused to park inside the residential complex.

Wasn't this Sister Jing's home?
