Yun Qinglian did not speak. Does she really have a choice now?
Now that she has fallen into the hands of the Eldest Prince, whether she can return alive is still uncertain. Although they are siblings, in the Royal Family, there are no familial feelings. For that position, things like brothers and sisters killing each other and fathers and sons turning against each other, which are unimaginable to ordinary families, are all too normal here.
Yun Chengtian smiled and then waved his hand.
This ti, Yun Chengtian brought five people with him, and these five are the strongest of the strong, with cultivation far beyond the Body Integration Realm.
"Royal sister, let's go together."
Yun Qinglian replied with a smile, "Sure!"
Yun Chengtian's cultivation is much higher than hers; otherwise, he wouldn't allow her to accompany him.
Quickly, Qiu Ben found the entrance halfway up the mountain.
Upon hearing this, Yun Chengtian glanced at Yun Qinglian and smiled slightly, "Let's go have a look."
The group arrived at the entrance, but Yun Chengtian didn't rush in. Instead, he asked Yun Qinglian, "Royal sister, you've been inside, right?"
Yun Qinglian nodded.
Yun Chengtian was startled; he didn't expect Yun Qinglian to admit it.
In fact, Yun Qinglian deliberately let them find the entrance. Inside, the exit has an array set up by Qin Yi, which allows people only to exit and not to enter. She is very worried about Qin Yi's situation, and with her cultivation, she could not break Qin Yi's array at all. So, ever since seeing Yun Chengtian, she ford a plan to use these people to breach Qin Yi's array.
After all, she's already in Yun Chengtian's hands, so escaping is impossible. She might as well take these people inside to check on Qin Yi's situation. If Qin Yi is alive, she will be saved. If Qin Yi is dead, dying with him wouldn't be too bad; it would be better than walking alone on the road to the netherworld.
"Royal sister, what is inside?"
Yun Qinglian coldly replied, "Heavenly Thunder Fruit."
"Heavenly Thunder Fruit?" Yun Chengtian exclaid in shock.
Qiu Ben and the others also eyed with fervor; the Heavenly Thunder Fruit is a naturally bestowed treasure, and no Qi Refiner can resist its allure.
After calming down, Yun Chengtian skeptically asked, "Is it true? Royal sister, you're not lying to , are you?"
"Now you are the butcher, and I am the fish. What good would it do to deceive you?" Yun Qinglian said coldly.
Yun Chengtian's eyes slightly contracted, then he grinned foolishly, "Royal sister, what kind of thing is it that I don't understand."
Yun Qinglian smiled slightly, unwilling to play this ga of feigned ignorance with Yun Chengtian. Her heart is concerned for Qin Yi, and she truly does not wish to waste ti, "Is it true? Royal brother could go in and see for himself."
Yun Chengtian pondered for a mont, "Since the royal sister has been inside, the royal sister should lead the way."
Yun Qinglian didn't say much and directly walked towards the entrance.
Yun Chengtian paused for a mont, then gave Qiu Ben a look.
Qiu Ben understood imdiately and quickly followed Yun Qinglian. The Eldest Prince's intention was simple: should Yun Qinglian act rashly, she would be killed instantly.
The group followed Yun Qinglian.
An hour later, Yun Chengtian frowned and said, "Royal sister, this tunnel is too deep. How much longer?"
Yun Qinglian sneered, "Royal brother, are you suspecting that I'm leading you in circles?"
"Royal sister, you misunderstand. I just think this tunnel is rather deep."
Yun Qinglian casually replied, "Another hour or so to go."
...
...
Half an hour later, Yun Chengtian indeed saw an opening.
He was ready to proceed but was stopped by Yun Qinglian.
Yun Chengtian looked at her, "Royal sister, what do you an by this?"
"Royal brother, don't misunderstand. I just want to tell you there's an enchantnt at this opening which I couldn't pass through before," Yun Qinglian stated.
Yun Chengtian was dazed for a mont, then looked towards Qiu Ben.
Qiu Ben kicked a stone, sending it flying towards the opening.
"Boom!"
The opening suddenly rippled with purple waves like water; the stone was directly pulverized.
Aside from Yun Qinglian, everyone's complexion changed slightly. The power of the barrier was indeed terrifying.
"Eldest Prince, all of you step back, and I will give it a try," said Qiu Ben.
Yun Chengtian nodded slightly, and everyone else backed up.
Qiu Ben's aura surged, and he struck the entrance with his palm, unleashing terrifying power from his palm that resembled a white giant python.
"Boom!"
Qiu Ben's power hit the purple barrier at the entrance, exploding in all directions. Qiu Ben was forced to retreat several steps, but the shimring purple barrier was unscathed.
Qiu Ben's face looked even more grim as he turned to Yun Chengtian and shook his head.
Yun Chengtian looked at Yun Qinglian and smiled, "Royal sister, any other entrance?"
"If there was another entrance, would I still be here?" Yun Qinglian replied coldly in a retort.
Yun Chengtian realized that if there was another entrance, she would have already acquired the Heavenly Thunder Fruit by now.
Qiu Ben suggested, "Eldest Prince, perhaps we should all strike together. Combined force may break the barrier."
Yun Chengtian nodded slightly.
The other four ca forward, though the narrow passage only allowed three people to stand side by side. But solutions co from people, so the five of them turned sideways and managed to squeeze in, unaffected in their deploynt.
The five of them struck together.
Five terrifying forces surged towards the entrance like a tidal wave.
"Boom!"
The purple barrier shimred, ripples spread, and the five terrifying forces slamd onto it. With a thunderous crash, the entire tunnel shook, dust and rocks fell as if it were about to collapse.
"Eldest Prince, it's broken." Qiu Ben called out.
Yun Qinglian's eyes flashed with slight joy but quickly returned to normal.
When Qin Yi was setting up the array, it was only intended to block those at the Great Perfection of the Unification Realm, not anticipating that the Eldest Prince would bring these five, whose cultivation is far beyond the Body Integration Realm.
"Let's go quickly," Yun Chengtian urged with a face full of joy, worried that the tunnel might collapse and bury them alive.
Suddenly, a vast underground world was revealed to them.
"Eldest Prince, look over there." Qiu Ben exclaid, pointing to the central location.
Yun Chengtian followed his direction and his eyes imdiately burned with excitent, murmuring, "It's really the Heavenly Thunder Fruit."
Saying that he couldn't help but walk toward the Thunder Tree.
Yun Qinglian hastily followed.
At this ti, the Thunder Zone around the Thunder Tree had already disappeared.
Yun Qinglian's eyes turned red, almost crying as she saw Qin Yi. At this mont, Qin Yi looked like a human-shaped piece of black charred remains, lying there motionless, clearly dead.
"There's soone, Eldest Prince be careful." Qiu Ben also noticed Qin Yi beneath the Thunder Tree.
Of course, in his current state, Qin Yi looked like a charred wooden stake, and no one could recognize him as Qin Yi.
Yun Chengtian stared at him for a long ti, "It seems to be a corpse."
Qiu Ben slightly nodded, "This person probably entered first, but unfortunately, sothing happened. The tragic way he died, like he was struck by lightning."
Yun Chengtian looked towards Yun Qinglian, seeing her red eyes, her gaze flickered slightly, "Royal sister, do you recognize this person?"
Yun Qinglian shook her head and said faintly, "I don't know him, just think his death is truly tragic."
A trace of mockery flickered in Yun Chengtian's eyes, "Royal sister, you're too kind. We should be grateful he's dead because if he were alive, the Heavenly Thunder Fruit would have been taken by him already."
