Chapter 339 Lost
Song Yufei shook her head, a hint of unease appearing on her face: "I don't know. At that time, I tried to approach the stone platform, but I vaguely heard a low roar, a sound that seemed to come from another world, filled with endless anger and resentment."
I dared not venture deeper, but only took the jade pendant. Then the secret realm seemed to begin to collapse, and I had to leave quickly.
Mo Ming pondered for a moment, his gaze falling on the jade pendant in Song Yufei's hand, and said in a low voice, "The thing suppressed in that secret realm may be directly related to this jade pendant."
You said it exudes a sacred power, capable of suppressing yin energy… It's very possible that this jade pendant itself existed to seal away some kind of evil entity.”
Song Yufei nodded, a complex look flashing in her eyes: "I had the same guess. But ever since I took it away, this jade pendant seemed to have been dormant until it truly showed its power when facing Li Yuan just now."
Mo Ming raised his head, a hint of wariness in his expression: "Li Yuan is very wary of this jade pendant, even calling it the 'Spirit Summoning Jade Pendant.' This means that he may know the origin of this jade pendant, or even... its power poses some kind of threat to him."
Song Yufei was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I haven't asked you yet, what exactly is going on with Li Yuan?"
"It is the sword spirit of the Demon-Suppressing Sword, awakened in the exchange secret realm..."
Mo Ming told Song Yufei about Li Yuan, and then the topic returned to the Spirit Summoning Jade Pendant.
Mo Ming… If this jade pendant is truly related to sealing away evil, will its power be limited? What will we do if its power is exhausted one day?
Mo Ming's expression also turned serious. He looked down at his hands, the dark red mark on his forehead throbbing faintly, as if reminding him that the threat from Li Yuan had not truly disappeared.
"Yufei, you said there are ancient spirit patterns and formations in that secret realm?" Mo Ming suddenly asked, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
“That’s right.” Song Yufei nodded. “Those spirit patterns are extremely complex. I’ve never seen similar symbols and formations before. They seem to be used not only for sealing, but also for guiding some kind of power.”
Mo Ming said thoughtfully, "Perhaps we can start with these spirit patterns to find more clues about the jade pendant and the complete sealing of the Li Yuan. The designers of those spirit patterns may know the true purpose of this jade pendant."
Song Yufei frowned slightly, her tone tinged with worry: "But that secret realm has already collapsed, and we have no way to go back and check it out."
Mo Ming frowned slightly upon hearing this, but quickly regained his composure.
His gaze lingered on the jade pendant for a moment, then he looked up at Song Yufei and said firmly, "Since the secret realm has already collapsed, there's no point in dwelling on it anymore."
The most important thing right now is to get out of here.
Song Yufei nodded gently, her expression complicated: "You're right. The yin energy here is getting heavier and heavier. If we don't leave soon, things might get bad."
Mo Ming looked around, his expression slightly grim. The surrounding mountains and forests were shrouded in an eerie mist, and a pungent smell of blood filled the air.
He gripped his short sword tightly and said in a low voice, "This area is unusual; it seems to be being corrupted by some kind of force. We need to leave first, at least to find a safe place."
“Let’s go,” Song Yufei said softly, but her eyes held a hint of hesitation as she looked at the Spirit Summoning Jade Pendant in her hand.
The two exchanged a glance, nodded in tacit agreement, and said nothing more. Then, they cautiously made their way out along the narrow path through the forest.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, with no sound of birds or beasts, only the chilling wind and the rustling of leaves, which sent shivers down one's spine.
“The environment here is getting worse and worse,” Mo Ming said, his gaze sweeping over the ancient trees around him. “It’s as if all the life in the area is being drained away. Under normal circumstances, it’s impossible for such a large forest to be completely devoid of any living creatures.”
Song Yufei tightened her cloak and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Could it be because of Li Yuan's aura? When it fought that demon before, its power had already affected the entire space."
Mo Ming didn't respond immediately, but his expression became even more serious. He raised his finger and felt the air for a moment, then suddenly stopped: "No, this isn't just the influence of Li Yuan."
"What do you mean?" Song Yufei immediately became alert.
Mo Ming narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Although the power of Li Yuan is sinister, it has a violent and intense fluctuation."
The problem in this area is more like a continuous erosion—like decay over many years, slowly devouring life.
After hearing this, Song Yufei's face paled slightly. She looked around and lowered her voice, "Are you saying that there is a huge hidden danger here? Could it be that we have unintentionally stepped into some kind of dangerous place?"
Mo Ming pondered for a moment, then his gaze suddenly turned to the thick fog in the distance, his eyes flickering slightly: "There is a possibility... this is not just a simple mountain forest."
Song Yufei frowned: "What do you mean?"
“If I’m not mistaken,” Mo Ming’s expression grew increasingly grave, “the anomaly in this area might be part of a larger sealing array.”
After the secret realm collapsed, we may have inadvertently stumbled into the aftermath of the formation. And Li Yuan... may just be the tip of the iceberg in this whole affair.
The two were speechless upon hearing this conclusion. After a moment of silence, Song Yufei gritted her teeth and said, "No matter what, staying here is too dangerous. We must get out of here as soon as possible!"
"Stay close to me." Mo Ming's tone was decisive. He drew his demon-suppressing sword, and spiritual energy surged, cutting through the thick fog that obscured their path. The two quickened their pace again, carefully avoiding any potential traps underfoot, and swiftly traversed the cold, damp forest.
Just as they were about to emerge from the thick fog, Mo Ming suddenly stopped. His gaze was fixed on an ancient tree ahead, his face growing increasingly grim: "Damn it, we're lost."
Song Yufei turned her head in shock: "Lost? Impossible! We've been walking in the same direction the whole time!"
Mo Ming raised his hand and gently touched the trunk of the ancient tree beside him, his fingers damp with moss. He said in a deep voice, "The mark on this tree... I made a mark when we passed by just now, and it appeared here."
Song Yufei's heart sank instantly. The dense fog, the chilling atmosphere, the repetitive terrain... all of this seemed to confirm a possibility.
"Illusion array," she said softly, a hint of coldness in her voice.
Mo Ming nodded and took a deep breath: "It seems we've fallen into some kind of illusion array. To escape now, we need to think of another way." He looked at the Spirit Summoning Jade Pendant in Song Yufei's hand, his eyes flickering, "Perhaps, we'll have to rely on its power again this time."
Song Yufei looked down at the Spirit Summoning Jade Pendant in her hand, her expression complicated.
