Chapter 120 The Injured Xiao
Linghua rushed forward and supported Xinyang. "How are you?"
Seeing Linghua appear in front of him unharmed, Xinyang breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was mentally prepared, everything that happened just now was too real.
Seeing Xinyang remained silent, Linghua frowned and looked at Xinyang with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you hurt? Or are you scared? Tell me quickly!"
Linghua's tone was filled with anxiety and worry. She held Xinyang's hand tightly, trying to find the answer from Xinyang's eyes. However, Xinyang's eyes seemed a little dull.
Linghua was extremely anxious and shook Xinyang's shoulders hard. It took a long time for Xinyang to come back to his senses.
"I'm fine... just a little tired." Xinyang forced a smile, trying to reassure Linghua, but the fear in his heart still persisted.
Seeing this, Linghua stopped asking questions. She patted Xinyang's shoulder gently and said comfortingly, "That's good. Take a break first. We'll find a way out later."
As she spoke, Linghua helped Xinyang aside and had her sit against the wall. Then, Linghua turned and walked towards the stone gate, a determined glint in her eyes.
"I want to see what turned you into this," Linghua muttered to herself. She summoned the Mist-Slicing Returning Light and prepared to open the stone door again.
Xinyang quickly grabbed the corner of Linghua's clothes and said, "Don't go, I just saw..."
After listening to Xinyang's explanation, Ye Lan concluded, "That is to say, the things behind this door will change, and they are the things that no one wants to see the most."
Xinyang nodded and said, "Yes, that's why I stopped Linghua."
Xinyang stood up and touched Linghua's head. "If Linghua opens the stone door, there will most likely be scenes of deceased relatives inside. It will not be worth it."
Linghua's body trembled slightly. She glanced at Xinyang with gratitude and put away the Mist Cutting Return Light. "I was a little impulsive, but if this isn't the exit, then we'll have to look for a way out somewhere else."
Ye Lan nodded helplessly, "There's no other way. It has to be like this."
"I want to give it a try," Ying stood up.
"Do you want to find your brother?" Paimon asked.
Ying nodded slightly. "Yes, I want to see him, even if it's just for a moment."
As expected, when Ying entered the secret room, the stone door slowly closed. This time, with Xinyang's experience, Paimeng immediately panicked: "Why is it closed again?! What should we do? We have to save her!"
Paimon was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. As he spoke, he tightly grabbed the clothes of the people around him, trying to get everyone to rush into the secret room together. However, at this moment, Ying suddenly appeared behind them and said, "Paimon, don't worry, I'm not in danger."
Hearing this, Paimon felt relieved, but he still couldn't help sobbing and threw himself into Ying's arms: "Wow, wow, wow~ You scared me, the door closed as soon as you entered, I thought... I thought you..."
"Okay, Paimon, don't cry. I found nothing in there, only an endless abyss." Ying gently comforted Paimon.
At this time, Ye Lan came forward, patted Ying's shoulder gently, and said seriously: "I'm sorry to disturb the current atmosphere, but the space here is too weird. I suggest that we leave as soon as possible."
Arriving at a three-way intersection, Ye Lan suggested, "In order to improve efficiency, let's split into three groups to explore the way. Otherwise, I really don't know when we can get out. I will be in one group, and we will gather here if there is any news." After that, Ye Lan piled up stones on the spot.
"Let's go this way!" Linghua said to Xinyang with a smile, and then took Xinyang's hand.
So, the two of them walked hand in hand along one of the forked roads, observing each other's surroundings and reminding each other of the way they were walking.
However, not long after they started walking, the road was blocked by a huge rock. Xin Yang sighed helplessly and said, "It seems we have to find another way out."
Linghua nodded in agreement. The two began searching for other passages. But no matter how hard they hammered, they couldn't find a way out.
Finally, they could only reluctantly return to the original pile of stones. Ye Lan had already been standing there, looking at the two of them calmly, as if she had expected this.
"How is it, have you found any clues?" Ye Lan asked.
Linghua shook her head and replied, "No, this road is blocked by huge rocks and is impossible to pass through."
"I'm in the same situation." Ye Lan frowned.
At this time, Yanfei and Ying came back with the injured Xiao.
Seeing someone injured, Xinyang took the initiative to help Xiao sit down on the rock and used healing wind to heal Xiao.
Feeling the wound healing, Xiao looked at Xinyang in surprise, "I didn't expect you could actually heal the wound caused by Yasha."
"Were you injured by Yasha?"
"He's Fushe, one of the five great Yakshas, along with me. He died in battle, and his body has never been found. As the only surviving Yaksha, I have a duty to find him. Five hundred years ago, during the great battle, someone saw a brave and nameless Yaksha in the Layered Abyss. Yakshas constantly deal with the remains of demons, and their karma is tainted. Over time, they go mad. The last time I saw Fushe was when he was mad, so I came here to investigate. I didn't expect to be injured by his phantom. This space is truly eerie. You should all leave quickly."
"But we can't find a way out."
"The space here is chaotic and flawed. I just came here by attacking the connection point between two spaces. If I try my best, I should be able to open a passage. You should leave as soon as possible."
"Wait," Yan Fei interrupted Xiao, "What do you mean by trying your best? Do you want to?"
"I'll do my best." Xiao stood up.
Ying was a little surprised. "Are you going to stay here?"
"It was only after I saw Fushe that I realized how terrifying this place is. After the passage is opened, someone needs to continuously inject power to maintain it."
Linghua flatly rejected Xiao, "No, leaving one person here is no solution. There must be other ways."
Ying also refused: "That's right, you can only open a passage, but you are not 100% sure that it is the way out. I don't agree."
"But there's no other way now."
Yan Fei tried hard to recall, "There must be one. We must have overlooked something."
