1696 My Music Score

Are we too far away to sense each other, or is something forcefully cutting off our connection?

Chu Liuyue had no idea.

She put away the black s.h.i.+eld, but the Chi Xiao Sword was still clenched in her hand.

After resting on the spot for a while and adjusting her aura, Chu Liuyue walked forward.

She chose a random direction. After all, in this place, she couldn’t tell any direction at all.

Instead of staying where she was and relying on a trace of hope to wait for Rong Xiu and the others to come, it was better for her to find them herself. Even if she couldn’t find them for a while, it would be good to know more about this place.

Hence, Chu Liuyue set off alone.

…

Along the way, the faint smell of blood lingered in the air. If not for Chu Liuyue being too sensitive to this smell, she might not have noticed it.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t tell where the smell came from. It was as if… the air here was already filled with this scent.

The surroundings were silent. Chu Liuyue could only hear her footsteps and heartbeat.

At some point, she suddenly stopped and looked ahead.

At this moment, the hole above her head was more open than before. More light shone in, allowing her to see further.

Above her head was still a vast expanse.

However, Chu Liuyue’s heart suddenly beat faster. This was because… the zither sounds that had been lingering in her ears disappeared suddenly at this moment!

She subconsciously tightened her grip on the Chi Xiao Sword, and the blood in her body seemed to be flowing faster.

She opened her mouth and realized that her throat was dry and tight.

Da.

Da.

Da.

Unfamiliar footsteps suddenly sounded from the darkness.

The footsteps were light and calm as if taking a stroll. However, every step seemed to be stepping on Chu Liuyue’s heart.

She seemed to sense something and tensed up.

Finally, a figure appeared in her line of sight! At the same time, a casual voice with a smile fell into her ears. “You’re finally here.”

…

On the other side, after Rong Xiu followed Chu Liuyue in, his surroundings fell into darkness. But soon, a white light flashed past his eyes.

His heart skipped a beat as he focused.

The white light actually quickly dissipated not far in front of him! Then, the light quickly condensed into a huge mirror!

In all directions, there was a rich black color. The appearance of this mirror instantly cut through the black color.

Faint light emanated from the mirror.

This mirror was wide and huge—at a glance, he couldn’t see the edge. It seemed like it was completely embedded in the black, blending into the surrounding darkness.

It stood quietly in front of Rong Xiu.

The surroundings were silent as if even the wind had stopped.

Rong Xiu looked up slightly.

A figure appeared in the mirror.

His cheeks were smooth, and his appearance was exquisite. His eyebrows slanted toward his temples, his nose was high, and his thin lips were red.

There was nothing that wasn’t carefully carved by the heavens. In comparison, even everything in the world seemed dim.

The figure reflected was Rong Xiu, but it was different from the current Rong Xiu.

Rong Xiu was dressed in white, and his eyes were clear and gentle. However, the person in the mirror was dressed in a black robe. His phoenix eyes were deep, thick, dignified, and filled with murderous aura!

They clearly had the same appearance and figure, but they looked like two completely different people!

Rong Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, but there was no shock on his face. It was as if… he had expected it.

He raised his hand, and a golden flame surged out of his palm, dancing happily.

Almost at the same time, the person in the mirror raised his hand, and a cl.u.s.ter of flames appeared at his fingertips. However, the flames were a rich black!

Rong Xiu frowned slightly, but he quickly relaxed. Then, his thin lips curled up slightly. “…So fast…”

The man in the mirror looked at him. “Since you’re here, you should’ve known that there would be such a scene. Besides, you’ve already delayed for too long.”

He paused and raised his eyebrows. “Are you going to break through this time or continue to suppress yourself as a true G.o.d like before?”

Rong Xiu closed his eyes.

When they opened again, golden and black flames had already risen in them!

His smile deepened. “Break.”

…

“A’Yue! A’Yue!” In a dark s.p.a.ce, Tuan Zi shouted anxiously as she walked.

But no matter how she shouted, there was no response. Instead, there was a terrifying silence.

Tuan Zi’s eyes were red and filled with tears. She quickly wiped her eyes and clenched her fists to cheer herself up. It isn’t that A’Yue doesn’t want me anymore, but she has been swallowed into this strange wall! As long as I continue to search, I will definitely find A’Yue! Besides, perhaps A’Yue is also looking for me?

At the thought of this, Tuan Zi became motivated again and quickened her pace.

…

Nan Suhuai and Chu Ning came in together, so they were still together. But at this moment, they were also trapped in a s.p.a.ce and didn’t encounter anyone else. Therefore, they could only try to contact the others as they searched for an exit.

…

Chu Liuyue stared intently at the figure in front of her. Almost at first glance, she was certain that this person was the person she had ‘seen’ playing the zither!

But although they were a little closer, the other party’s figure was still shrouded in that black shadow. It was hazy and impossible to see clearly.

In fact, Chu Liuyue couldn’t even tell if the other party was a man or a woman. This was because that voice was as ethereal as the zither sound as if it came from an extremely far place.

Its tone was clearly very faint, and its voice was beautiful and dreamy. It only made one feel relaxed and comfortable, but it was unpredictable.

Chu Liuyue felt that this scene was really strange.

At this moment, she couldn’t see the other party’s face or figure, and even its voice sounded like a dream. However, the other party had spoken to her. It was as if… it had known her for a long time and had been waiting for her.

Chu Liuyue probed, “You… know me?”

The person seemed to smile and answered leisurely, “You’re holding my music score, so I naturally recognize it.”

Music score? Chu Liuyue was dazed. “I… I don’t—”

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and shock flashed across her eyes. The only thing I have to do with the sound of the zither is probably… that water droplet!?

Just as this thought flashed through her mind, she sensed a strange fluctuation in her dantian.

The person opposite her raised their palm slightly.

The water droplet instantly rushed out of Chu Liuyue’s body!
