Senior Brother Ling asked the others to search for the rest of their sect members .
However, after searching for one whole round and questioning the children in the palace, they didn’t find the rest of the people .
“One of them was thrown into the pond . ” Ming Shu changed her position and was currently sitting on the wall .
The person beside Senior Brother Ling looked at her intently . “How do you know?”
“I saw it . ”
“You saw it… why didn’t you stop him?”
Ming Shu wanted to laugh at him . “Are you joking with me? What is my relationship with you? Why must I stop him?”
The disciple must have been too agitated so his words didn’t make sense at all .
“Let me go down and take a look . ” Someone volunteered himself .
“No . ” Senior Brother Ling stopped the person . “We do not know what is underneath the pond . ”
“Then… what if Junior Sister Fang Wan and the rest of them were thrown inside too?” The disciple panicked .
Senior Brother Ling frowned . He calmed them down and woke the man up .
When the man realized he was tied up, he started cursing violently .
“What is this place? Where are the other people that you caught?” Senior Brother Ling waited for him to finish cursing before asking his questions .
“All of you are here already . ” The man looked at Senior Brother Ling with an honest expression .
There were eight of them . Besides the one that was thrown into the pond, there were still three other people missing . One of them was Fang Wan .
“If they were not brought here, they must be dead . ” The man gave a sinister laugh . “Do you think that everyone will stay alive after they fall down?”
One of the disciples grabbed his clothes and punched him . “Don’t bullshit me . Where are they? Where did you hide them? Bring them out!”
“Pfft!”
The disciple punched him a few more times but the man just said the same thing . It must be the truth .
“Stop hitting him . ” Senior Brother Ling stopped the disciple and asked the man, who was panting heavily, “How do we get out of here?”
They tried to find a way out before they came to this courtyard, but the children said that there was no way out .
“Get out of here?” The man suddenly laughed . Then, he shouted crazily, “If I knew how to get out, I would not be refining this sword!”
The sword: “…” I shall just continue swimming .
The man said that he fell down here too . When he fell, the palace, the pond, and the sword were already here .
Ming Shu admired this person .
She thought that he was the owner, but he turned out to be a victim too .
Senior Brother Ling asked, “Aren’t you the owner of this place?”
The man looked as though he heard some funny joke .
He didn’t know who owned this place .
The man couldn’t remember when he fell . It was a long time ago .
The children were demons that he caught around the area . There were many such demons around the palace and they ate humans too . Even if the people that fell down were not brought over, they would probably be killed too .
“Have you heard of the spiritual pool?”
The man saw their expressions and knew that they had never heard of it before .
“The place which produced the purest liquid form of reiki in the entire world . ”
The man looked behind him . The girl in red was sitting on top of the wall . She was smiling at them .
He gritted his teeth as he recalled how she threw things down on him . “You seem to know a lot . ”
“I’m flattered . ”
“…” Who is flattering you? Shameless!
He looked at the pond . “This is the spiritual pool . All the things here exists because of the spiritual pool . If that sword doesn’t recognize an owner, none of us can get out . ”
This was what he found out after staying here for so long .
“What sword is that?”
The man hated the sword . “I don’t know . ”
He wanted to coax it to recognize an owner but it didn’t want to . Also, at the start, he couldn’t get near the pool at all .
He took a long time to break the array around the pool .
After that, he wanted to refine it forcefully, but the results were even more infuriating .
“So after it recognizes its owner, we can get out?”
“Should be so,” the man said . “This is just my guess . Even if the sword can’t bring us out, its owner can . ”
Senior Brother Ling looked at the pool .
The sword suddenly lifted itself up straight and moved to the side of the pool .
Senior Brother Ling already had his sword of fate, the Lingxiao sword . This was the sword that the Yi Xie sword defeated in legend .
“You two, go and have a try,” Senior Brother Ling said to the two disciples of Wuji Sword Sect .
The two people hesitated . The sword didn’t seem to like them… it was rejecting them from head to toe .
However, they still went to try . The sword just ignored them mercilessly .
Although swords had no emotions, everyone felt its contempt .
“There is really no way out of here?” Ming Shu asked the child beside her .
“Indeed . ” The little child nodded . “We have stayed here for a long time and didn’t find any way out . ”
“Why did you lie that you can take me out then?”
The child lowered his head and whispered, “You already said that I lied to you… it was to lower your guard . ”
“…” The little demons are quite smart . “We can’t go back up from the place that we fell down?”
The child reminded her tactfully, “Why did you… fall down?”
Ming Shu had nothing to say .
The child was right . Even if they could climb up, they might not be able to get out of this place . Those magical beast that could fly tried to fly their way out after they fell into this place, but they were stopped halfway by some invisible wall . There was no way out at all .
The people in the courtyard were still discussing their plan . They didn’t know if the man was speaking the truth so they went out and searched for an exit again .
In the end, they confirmed that there was no way out . If they kept walking straight, they would just end up at the white jade palace again .
“We can’t contact our sect, either . ”
“What shall we do? We can’t find Junior Sister Fang Wan and the rest . Did something happen to them?”
“Senior Brother Ling…”
Senior Brother Ling suddenly looked at Ming Shu .
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows . “What?”
Senior Brother Ling said, “I remember that demonic cultivators have a special way of communicating with one another . Can you try to communicate with the outside world? We are all stuck here . No one can get out . ”
The last two sentences was to explain why he asked for her help . He just wanted to get everyone out of here first .
“We do . ” Ming Shu thought for a while . “However, this is an enclosed space . Even our communication method can’t be used here . ”
She tried to call for Little Beastie, but there was no reply from it . If even Little Beastie couldn’t hear her, there was no way she could contact anyone else .
“Do you have any good suggestion?”
Ming Shu suggested sincerely, “Eat and wait for death . ”
Senior Brother Ling: “…”
“Do you want to try and see if the sword will recognize you?” Senior Brother Ling pointed at the pool .
Ming Shu glanced at the sword . The sword sized her up too .
Ming Shu said with disdain, “I don’t want to . ”
Pa!
The sword got angry .
No one had ever given it the cold-shoulder! Only it could dislike other people!
“Look at how bad its temper is . I don’t want it,” Ming Shu added on .
