Luo Jiutian forgot about struggling, forgot about everything, and only stared straight at the broken Panlong Pond with his slightly bleeding eyes.
After a while, the sound of soft footsteps approached from not far away.
The footsteps were neither fast nor slow, slowly walking around Luo Jiutian's legs and appearing in his sight.
That's a woman.
The woman, wearing a fiery red robe, stood in front of Luo Jiutian and gave him a condescending look.
"Pitiful."
The woman sighed slightly, but there was no mercy in her eyes.
She squatted down, grabbed half of the Panlong Pond, and observed it. The woman's slender brows furrowed lightly, and the sunlight shone on her body, adding a strange divinity to her face.
"Oh, he's gone." The woman held half of the Panlong Pond in her hand, looked up at Luo Jiutian, and asked, "Where did my child go?"
Luo Jiutian couldn't speak, let alone move. All he could do was lie on the ground, twitching and feeling the blood pouring out of the corners of his mouth.
The body is getting colder little by little.
"You don't know either, right?" The woman's voice was gentle, "It doesn't matter, go to sleep, it will be over soon."
Luo Jiutian twitched violently.
The woman picked up two pieces of Panlongchi and stood up.
"I'll take them."
Luo Jiutian's numb hands hunched over in pain. He squinted his eyes, blood mixed with tears overflowed from his eyes. He opened his mouth wide, and a terrible sound came from deep in his throat.
At least, don't take it away.
Let my Panlongchi die with me.
"Don't be afraid," the woman smiled at Luo Jiutian, "it will be over soon."
She grabbed Panlongchi, thought about it, and awkwardly put the two pieces together.
The moment the two pieces of Panlongchi came into contact, a golden shimmer lit up at the broken place. The woman screamed, as if she had been burned by something. She shrank her fingers and the Panlongchi fell from her hands.
Falling slowly.
Like a feather.
The Panlong Pond rotated in mid-air with the golden light at its seams. As it fell, the golden light spread out in all directions. The Panlong Pond actually dissipated little by little into dust floating in the air. When it fell to Luo Jiutian
In the palm of his hand, a gust of soft wind suddenly floated over, and the last small piece of Panlong Pond was blown away by the wind and turned into nothingness.
The woman seemed to be stunned for a while. She remained still for a few seconds and looked at Luo Jiutian, who was streaming with blood and tears.
After a long time, the woman slowly shook her head, leaving Luo Jiutian with an indifferent look, turned her head, and disappeared from his sight.

Xiaolan and his group were still groping in the cave.
"Why do I feel like we've been going in circles?" Qin Yin patted the clammy cave wall, "I think I've seen this stone before."
"I feel the same way," the fool stopped, "Baomu, what do you think?"
"Ah? I...I can't see it."
"Does the smell on this road look familiar?"
"This... road doesn't smell like anything?"
"You fool, you are having your own whims again," Qin Yin teased, "If you pee here, you should be able to smell it the next time Baomu passes by."
The fool glared at Qin Yin, and Baomu nodded seriously, "That's okay."
"That's okay, why don't you pee?"
"I'm a girl!"
"Where's Baomu?"
"I...I'm sorry..."
"Then I will..."
"careful!"
Wen Ling suddenly shouted and pulled away Qin Yin who was standing on her right. The one-legged Qin Yin screamed and staggered a few steps, hugging Wen Ling and falling into a ball.
"What's going on?" Xiaolan, who was walking behind the two of them, asked quickly.
The next second, they knew the answer.
A dazzling golden light struck quickly from the depths of the cave. No one could see the appearance of the thing clearly. The golden light instantly passed over where Qin Yin was standing just now and hit Xiaolan's abdomen directly.
"puff!"
Xiaolan was knocked down by the huge impact and fell to the ground on her back with a thud, almost spitting out her intestines.
"Ugh..." Xiaolan wailed and sat up holding the thing that crashed into her arms, "It hurts me so much!... Wen Ling, why don't you pull me away too? I'll stand right next to you
Behind them..."
"Are you okay? Is Xiaolan okay?..."
A group of people came over. Xiaolan coughed twice, raised his hands, and looked at the thing.
"Eh?"
Everyone was surprised.
Xiaolan forgot about the pain and turned the thing over and back again.
"Isn't this the Panlong Pond?" Qin Yin asked.
"Yes..." Xiaolan confirmed the appearance of this thing, "It is indeed."
"Where did it fly from?" The fool looked deep into the cave, "Are you, Panlongchi, like that gecko, giving us directions?"
Xiaolan stood up, opened her right hand, stared at her palm and felt it for a while.
"No, this is not my Panlong Pond. My pond is still on me," Xiaolan raised her head and said with her eyebrows twisted, "This is Brother Jiutian's Panlong Pond."
"Nine days?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"Why did the Nine Heavens Panlong Pond fly over?" the fool asked anxiously.
Xiaolan reached out and touched Luo Jiutian's Panlongchi a few times, "Brother Jiutian...is something going to happen?"
"Luo Jiutian?" Qin Yin chuckled, "How could something happen to Luo Jiutian? We haven't had any trouble yet, so why is it his turn? Impossible..."
Her speaking voice became softer and softer, and in the end, it was basically just her lips that were moving, and there was no sound at all.
"I don't think so." The fool said in a rough voice.
"I think so too."
"Me too, I must..."
However, no one is confident in his words.
Xiaolan looked at Panlongchi where the soft light was scattered, not knowing what to do.
Everyone was silent for a while, and Bao Mu's hoarse voice broke the calm.
"Is Zhang Boyin's consciousness still inside?"
By the way, I almost forgot about this.
"I...I don't know..." Xiaolan held Panlongchi and started to study, "I'm not very good at using it...after all..."
"Don't worry," Baomu's voice was stiff and he spoke unusually fast, "I think it's possible that Jiutian felt that he couldn't protect Zhang Boyin's consciousness, so he sent Panlongchi to you. Nothing will happen to Jiutian."
Xiaolan looked at the Panlong Pond hesitantly and gently pinched its smooth edges with her fingers.
"Can you take it into your body? Just like your own Panlongchi?" the fool asked.
Xiaolan shook her head, "No, I can't take it in. It doesn't seem to be mine yet."
"That means Jiutian is still fine!" Qin Yin clapped his hands.
"But, even if Brother Jiutian...then his Panlong Pond belongs to the Luo family, not me..."
"Oh, don't think so much, what do I say?" Qin Yin hugged Xiaolan's shoulders, "Believe me, Jiutian will be fine, but we, taking on such a hot potato, be careful, everyone, it may be dangerous
