"How deep exactly is this well!" Shi Jinsuai exclaid as he watched the cluster of white flas disappear into the darkness.
"I’m not sure!" Chu Yue shook his head upon hearing Shi Jinsuia’s remark, then added, "I have only ever co this far into the Sealing Land. As for how deep this well is and what truly lies within the Sealed Land beneath, it remains unknown!
"Our Chu Family ancestors also left a warning, advising against venturing into this stone well unless absolutely necessary, even for the Chu Family Patriarch."
Upon hearing Chu Yue’s words, Shi Feng said, "Then just see to this point. Jin Shuai, you stay here and wait for , Wuy Hen, co down with ."
"Alright!" Shi Jinsuai nodded in response to Shi Feng’s words. His Martial Arts Realm was the lowest here; compared to Shi Feng and Xueh Wuheng, who possessed the battle power of a Martial Saint, he simply couldn’t go down. By going into this Sealing Land, he might cause more trouble for them—it would be better to just stay here.
However, as soon as Chu Yue heard Shi Feng’s words, he quickly interjected and explained, "Brother Shi, you misunderstand . It’s true that our Chu Family ancestors left such a warning. But you have saved my family multiple tis, Brother Shi. If you go down, I must assist you!"
"No need." Shi Feng shook his head after hearing Chu Yue’s words, "With your strength, you might not be able to help much, but rather, you might hinder ."
Shi Feng’s response made an awkward expression appear on Chu Yue’s face, and he softly let out an "Uh..." It seed that Shi Feng hadn’t really intended for him to go down and assist, fearing that he might hold them back.
But on second thought, that was indeed the case! These two were Martial Saint Realm powerhouses, while his own Martial Arts Cultivation was rely at the Five-star Martial Venerable Realm.
"Let’s go!" Shi Feng said to Xueh Wuheng.
"Mm!" Xueh Wuheng responded, and at once, both figures moved; Shi Feng leaped into the stone well first, followed by Xueh Wuheng, plunging into the depths of the unknown region of the well.
In the forest, Shi Jinsuai saw that Chu Yue still had that awkward expression from earlier and smiled at him, saying, "Old Chu! He’s just very direct with his words, don’t take it to heart. You’ll get used to it eventually! Brother, I ca through it the sa way."
After hearing Shi Jinsuai’s words, Chu Yue smiled back and said, "Haha, Brother Shi has saved my family multiple tis, such trivial matters are nothing to !"
Upon hearing this, Shi Jinsuai thought about it and felt the sa. Shi Feng had indeed saved Chu Yue multiple tis and himself included! Even if Shi Feng’s straightforward words had shocked him a few tis, why should he dwell on such trivial matters!
The grace of saving a life, allowing one to continue living in this world, is greater than heaven!
..
After jumping into the well, Shi Feng and Xueh Wuheng felt their bodies continuously plumt towards the darkness below, not knowing how long they had been falling—it seed as if the well’s depth was infinite, never-ending.
However, as the two descended deeper, the chilling aura beca increasingly intense; at this mont, it felt as though they had plunged into an ice cellar.
The Bloodthirsty Sword in Shi Feng’s hand had begun to quiver increasingly violently; he must have been getting closer to the Sacred Sword Fragnt.
After an unknown amount of ti, with a "plop," Shi Feng’s feet landed on the ground, followed closely by Shi Jinsuai’s ghostly white figure arriving by his side.
Their feet touching the ground indicated that the two had reached the bottom of the stone well.
The surroundings were pitch black, devoid of any light, yet, for the two of them, endowed with exceptional eyesight, the darkness did not impede their vision.
Their gaze swept around them; the place they now found themselves looked much like the bottom of a dry well, the space narrow, and underfoot, the ground was parched, and even cracked, as if it had not felt moisture for a long ti.
However, soon their gaze fixed on a door, black as ink, that stood before them. The atmosphere here had beco colder than before, but they could distinctly sense the chilly aura emanating from behind the door.
"Behind this door, there must be another world," said Xueh Wuheng to Shi Feng.
"It must be!" responded Shi Feng, nodding. Then he added, "It must also be the array’s power on the door, sealing the death creatures of that world, preventing them from coming out."
Shi Feng had already noticed the densely packed, mysterious ancient runes carved into the ink-black door, though the array’s power seed to have diminished over the long years.
Xueh Wuheng also noticed the runes and nodded in agreent, "Mhm!"
After staring at the door for a while, Shi Feng began to form hand seals; white fla-shaped runes, resembling tadpoles, flowed out of his handprints and drifted towards the pitch-black door.
Seeing Shi Feng forming the hand seals, then releasing the runes, Xueh Wuheng was startled and said, "It’s rumored that the Ancestor of the Netherworld had great knowledge about arrays, but among my masters, only a few inherited his array techniques. According to my master, their comprehension wasn’t sufficient. The Ancestor’s array inheritance, without a natural talent in arrays, couldn’t be learned.
I never imagined that my junior uncle would have inherited our Ancestor’s array techniques.
It’s said that our Uncle Lingg Yefeng, the Death Emperor, possesses an ultimate skill called the Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses which is also a peerless array passed down by the Ancestor of the Netherworld!"
Then, as the white fla-shaped runes from Shi Feng’s handprints drifted towards the black wooden door, slowly, Xueh Wuheng saw the runes on the door growing fainter, and just then, Shi Feng shouted in a low voice, "Open!"
Instantly, with a loud "bang," the door flung open widely. However, the mont the door swung open, Xueh Wuheng suddenly saw a figure clad in white, with her head bowed and body hunched, her black hair hanging like weeds entirely covering her face, extending down to her legs, making it impossible for him to see her face.
From the attire, from the attire alone, Xueh Wuheng instinctively surmised that this must be a woman!
And at that mont, faintly, a bizarre wailing sound began to travel to them, resembling the piercing cry of a woman in distress.
Then, that "woman" also slowly began to move, her movents were very stiff, her hands gradually turning into claws, but at this mont, suddenly, with a desolate and ghastly scream, the woman lunged at Shi Feng like a crazed beast.
