1709 Help

“What a coincidence.” The person standing rooted to the ground lightly said, “I didn’t expect that I could still meet you here.”

Nan Yiyi’s heart seemed to be clutched by something.

She was about to speak when she heard the man in front laugh and say, “It is very coincidental. You actually came in here in the end.”

Nan Yiyi was suddenly stunned and realized that the other party’s previous words weren’t meant for her. She then furrowed her brows, and her gaze darted between the two of them doubtfully in confusion. They… know each other?! It shouldn’t be! I know that man in front. He came with Shangguan Yue, and he seems to be Shangguan Yue’s relative.

Nan Yiyi wasn’t shocked that he would appear here. Back then, everyone was sucked into this place, so it was accidental and coincidental that we met. However… Why would he know the man I’m with? The man has been trapped here for a thousand years!

The man in front of her continued, “Actually, I’m even more surprised that you’re still alive.”

His voice sounded calm, but upon deeper thought, one would realize that he was suppressing something.

Nan Yiyi couldn’t state this feeling.

Shangguan Jing also smiled. “I should be saying this to you. You truly have a long life. You have been trapped here for so long, yet you’re still hanging onto your last breath.”

Once he said this, Nan Yiyi suddenly felt a gush of intense murderous intent! However, this murderous intent just flashed past.

When Nan Yiyi reacted, the sinister and cold feeling had already silently disappeared. It seemed like everything was just an illusion.

Shangguan Jing’s gaze swept past Nan Yiyi’s body, and his pair of eyes seemed to have seen through everything. “It seems like you helped him… Nan Yiyi, I’m afraid you don’t know what kind of person you helped, right?”

Nan Yiyi felt guilty and nervous for some reason. She unwittingly glanced at the man before her. Why does this sound weird? Could it be that this man has a special status, or… some other trickery?

“Shangguan Jing, our grudges ended back then. Let’s just stay in our own lanes now. You can do whatever you want, but just don’t stop me from going out. If not… I won’t be nice!”

This was the first time Nan Yiyi heard such threatening words from the man before her. It was cold and sinister!

As if hearing a joke, Shangguan Jing laughed out loud. After a while, he said, “Yu Hongshan, how can you be impolite to me? You don’t even have a physical body, and you’re just a soul!”

How laughable! Back then, Yu Hongshan wasn’t as strong as me and used all sorts of tricks to tie with me forcefully.

After that intense battle, Shangguan Jing went to the Flood-Desert Northern Region with injuries, and Yu Hongshan was swallowed into this s.p.a.ce in the black wall, not able to come out for a thousand years.

Actually, the two of them never expected the other party to live till this day, let alone meet here!

Yu Hongshan’s aura moved, clearly angry.

His voice was sinisterly cold. “Shangguan Jing, do you think I’m still the same me back then?”

Once he said this, a tremendous aura suddenly exploded from his body!

Shangguan Jing squinted his eyes and laughed. “I was wondering why you were so arrogant. It turns out you broke through and became a legendary warrior…”

This was indeed rare because it was almost impossible for someone to break through from a true G.o.d to become a legendary warrior without a physical body.

It’s no wonder he is so arrogant. It can be seen that Yu Hongshan has put in a lot of effort in the past thousand years. Perhaps he has met with some twist of fate here.

However, Shangguan Jing did not care. He moved his feet lightly, and his aura rapidly became dangerous! “Since this is so, I’ll teach you a lesson!”

Seeing that Shangguan Jing was really going to take action here, Yu Hongshan’s face contorted for a moment.

He said those words just to threaten Shangguan Jing; he didn’t really want to exchange blows with him. It wasn’t that he was afraid of Shangguan Jing, but… the thing he wanted to do the most was get out of here!

It wasn’t too late to battle after they were out!

However, Shangguan Jing did not seem to have this plan.

Yu Hongshan suppressed his anger and coldly said, “Shangguan Jing, you should’ve been here for a while and noticed the danger here. If you really want to fight, sure! Let’s do it when we’re out! You can die here if you want, but don’t drag other people down with you!”

Shangguan Jing squinted his eyes slightly. Even though he didn’t quite believe Yu Hongshan, he did realize that this area was strange during the journey. Yue’er and the rest also should’ve been forcefully swallowed into this place. It’s a pity I searched for a really long time and didn’t see their figures.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he glanced at Yu Hongshan. “You know how to go out?”

Yu Hongshan did not speak.

He had been trapped here for a thousand years. Even though he couldn’t leave this place, he had quite a bit of understanding toward this place.

Of course, he knew how to go out. If not, he wouldn’t have racked his brains and got Nan Yiyi to help him.

He was silent for quite a while and said, “You have to promise that you won’t take action after you go out. Then, I can bring you out with us.”

“Senior, how can this be done?” Nan Yiyi was shocked. This Shangguan Jing was with Shangguan Yue and the rest. I want him to stay here forever and die here. How could he bring him out?

Yu Hongshan half-turned around and glanced at her extremely coldly. “If you don’t want to die, shut up!”

Nan Yiyi was dazed from the scolding, but due to the other party’s suppression, she didn’t dare to cause a scene. She just clenched her teeth and swallowed her remaining words. I still have to go out. After I leave this place, I won’t be threatened by these people again!

Yu Hongshan glanced at Shangguan Jing, waiting for his reply.

Shangguan Jing crossed his arms and knitted his brows slightly, seemingly in deep thought.

However, Yu Hongshan was not anxious at all. As long as Shangguan Jing’s brain is working, he will definitely agree to this suggestion.

After a moment, Shangguan Jing finally said, “Since you know how to go out…”

Yu Hongshan waited patiently.

“Then, you definitely know how to find the rest?”

Once he said this, Yu Hongshan’s expression froze! He boomed, “Shangguan Jing, what do you mean?!”

Shangguan Jing laughed. “Nothing much. I just hope that you can help me find Yue’er and the rest. Then, we can go out together. At the very least, we’re considered acquaintances. You won’t be reluctant to do me this small favor, right?”

“Shangguan Jing!” Yu Hongshan suddenly raised his voice.

Shangguan Jing’s smile didn’t change as he raised his hand. “Please—”

…

Chu Liuyue was still focused on the music scores.

She didn’t remember how many she had read, but the music scores floating around her had clearly decreased in number. Besides, she read through them at increasing speeds during this process.
