Following this, it was the second and the third!

The surrounding rocks seemed to be guided by some force as they started to become uneasy and rolled toward Chu Liuyue!

“T-this is—” Shangguan Jing was also stunned. When I came here previously, I didn’t encounter such a situation! And the more important thing was that this commotion clearly came for Chu Liuyue! What is going on?! 

Rong Xiu knitted his brows slightly and held Chu Liuyue’s hand. “We have to leave as soon as possible. These rocks are all shards of the true god tombstones.”

The damaged tombstones were already nerve-racking, not to mention that they belonged to true gods. Besides, some of these rocks might contain some force.

Nobody could say for sure. Hence, Rong Xiu swiftly decided to bring Chu Liuyue away from this place immediately.

Chu Liuyue met his gaze and lightly nodded. “Okay.”

…

Chu Liuyue and the rest started going toward the God-Killing Tumulus.

Later on, increasingly more rocks started rolling over.

It was fine if it were only a rock or two, but as time passed, those rocks seemed to have gathered into a water current that went for Chu Liuyue!

This scene was indeed too strange. However, what Chu Liuyue found weird was that she never felt murderous intent from these rocks.

They seemed to be controlled by something and kept gathering around her. But specifically… they didn’t seem to be planning on doing anything.

Of course, Chu Liuyue didn’t dare to let her guard down and allow her ‘gut feeling’ to determine if it was dangerous. After all, this was the God-Killing Tumulus.

Luckily, her ancestor had come here before and was considered experienced, so he could rapidly find a safe route.

On the way, they had shocks but no danger. But after walking for a long time, the surrounding scenery didn’t really change.

Previously, Ancestor had said that as long as we walked to the legendary warriors’ tombstones, these strange rocks would definitely stop. But after such a long time, we still seem really far away. Chu Liuyue couldn’t help but ask, “Ancestor, when can we leave this place?”

Shangguan Jing glanced at the sky and said with uncertainty, “I think… another four to six hours…”

In actual fact, he still gave a lower estimate.

Back then, he had walked here for a total of three days and three nights. Even if it were his first time here, and he didn’t know how to walk, it was enough to prove how spacious this place was and that it wasn’t easy to leave.

Chu Liuyue’s heart sank. She understood her ancestor too well. This means that… we will stay here for an even longer period of time. 

Now that they were moving forward at full speed, the rocks behind couldn’t catch up and were still a distance. However, their strength kept depleting, and those rocks kept gathering.

As their numbers increased, Chu Liuyue clearly discovered that their auras and strength were much stronger than before. As this went on, nobody could guarantee that they could make it out in one piece.

Chu Liuyue felt her head ache. Could it be that I have something strange in my body that caused this commotion? But… there seems to be nothing at all. Wasn’t it fine in the past? Why did it suddenly become so strange?

The key was that… all cultivators couldn’t travel through the air here. This caused their situation to be even more difficult.

At this point, a rock suddenly rolled to Chu Liuyue’s feet.

Her heart skipped a beat as her body fell sideways uncontrollably!

“Yue’er!” Rong Xiu was standing right beside her and immediately encircled her thin waist, embracing her!

Chu Liuyue just felt that she had fallen into a firm and big chest as the cold fragrance instantly wrapped around her.

Just as she supported Rong Xiu, she heard Shangguan Jing’s shocking gasp from behind!

Chu Liuyue secretly felt that something was wrong, so she immediately turned around and saw her ancestor tripping over the stones and falling backward.

The key was that when Shangguan Jing fell halfway, the space behind him suddenly rippled! Half of his body was swallowed by the empty space!

“Ancestor!” Before Chu Liuyue could finish her sentence, Shangguan Jing’s figure had already completely disappeared.

Silently, they watched him disappear before their eyes.

Chu Liuyue opened her eyes and was about to go forward when Rong Xiu held her tightly. “There’s turbulence in the space!”

Following this, Chu Liuyue indeed saw the rocks that rolled to the side of the ripples turning into powder instantly!

Her heart suddenly trembled!

“Senior Shangguan is a legendary warrior. He can definitely protect himself,” boomed Rong Xiu.

She was still a true god and naturally couldn’t go over.

Chu Liuyue clenched her silver teeth. Rong Xiu is right. Ancestor is strong and has come here before, so nothing much will happen to him. Now, I have to protect myself! 

Gradually, the ripples calmed down. Everything seemed to return to normal as if nothing had happened.

“We—” The moment Chu Liuyue spoke, she suddenly felt a strong suction force beside her! She hurriedly turned around and saw that the rocks showed a strange pattern on the ground.

The strong force exploded from the middle—it was as if it was going to swallow her directly!

The winds were blowing!

Chu Liuyue’s hair flew around!

Rong Xiu hugged her tightly and pressed her head against his chest. “Hold me tight.”

Chu Liuyue instinctively hugged his thin waist forcefully.

Rong Xiu looked up.

In his eyes, black and gold—two extremely intense colors—suddenly appeared!
