The moment she fell into the river, Yu Shu subconsciously closed her eyes.
Water rushed into her ears and nose, and in panic, someone hugged her tightly.
Yu Shu opened her eyes and looked at the face close at hand. It was Ji Jue.
The water light reflected on Ji Jue's face, making him look somewhat holy. His long and slender eyelashes were half drooped, giving him an indescribable sense of beauty.
Yu Shu unconsciously grabbed Ji Jue's shoulders with her hands.
Ji Jue held her with one hand and swam toward the water.
The next moment, bursts of golden light suddenly emitted from the bottom of the water, and a strong suction force was as if someone had tightly grasped Yu Shu's ankle.
A series of bubbles came out of Yu Shu's mouth, and she kept struggling.
Ji Jue frowned, and he held Yu Shu's arm harder and harder.
But after a few breaths, both of them were dragged into the strange formation.
On the shore, everyone looked stunned and had not yet realized the current situation.
Li Pan looked panicked. He stumbled forward a few steps and knelt down on the bank, "Senior Sister Yu Shu!!"
His eyes gradually turned red, and again, Senior Sister Yu Shu disappeared in front of him.
He turned his head with red eyes, looked at Wen Xuezai, and growled, "Why are you doing this!"
Not only Li Pan was looking at Wen Xuezui, but everyone was looking at her.
Wen Xuezhen's eyes were frightened for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. Tears came at every turn, and she even swallowed them.
"I didn't mean to do it on purpose. I just wanted to lure the Cold Crystal Wind Crow away so that everyone could escape. I was too weak and was so frightened by the Cold Crystal Wind Crow that I lost my accuracy."
"It's all my fault! I was the one who harmed Yu Shu!"
There was a disciple in the crowd wearing a white sect uniform, who said coldly, "So, you are the ones who took the Bingling Crystal, right?!"
Wen Xuezhen's slender brows furrowed slightly, and she shed two lines of tears, feeling pitiful in every aspect.
She sobbed and said, "My father gave this to me. I have always been weak, my spiritual roots are damaged, and my cultivation has always been slow, so my father collected many spiritual treasures for me."
"How could I implicate everyone for my own selfish desires?"
The disciples of Tianqing Sect's embarrassed expressions immediately softened, as if they accepted Wen Xuezui's explanation.
They echoed, "Senior Sister Wen, you have a physical illness. There are several spiritual treasures in the Qiankun Ring. Is there anything strange about it?"
Suddenly, several dazzling golden lights emitted from the river.
Wen Xuezui looked over and heard the voice in her mind, "Oh no, Yu Shu touched the formation at the bottom of the river. This formation should be the sealing restriction of the ancient divine sword, the Seven-Star Rainbow Sword."
That divine sword must never let Yu Shu get away!
It continued to confuse, "That is your opportunity, you must not let Yu Shu take it away."
There was a bit of astonishment in Wen Xuezhen's eyes. After hearing its words, she seemed to have made up her mind.
Seeing the strange thing coming from the river, everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back, while whispering.
Wen Xuezhen was weak and she ran to the shore crying, "Senior sister Yu Shu fell into the river because of me. I have to save her!"
As she said that, she was about to jump into the river, but Li Pan on the side caught her with quick eyes and hands.
Li Pan's eyes were filled with impatience, "Senior Sister Wen, what nonsense are you talking about! What can you do if you jump during the foundation building period?"
Wen Xuezui suppressed the eagerness in her heart and exchanged a few words with Li Pan. Seeing that the golden light was getting darker and darker, Wen Xuezui became a little anxious.
She gritted her teeth, her expression suddenly turned fierce, she suppressed her voice and said harshly, "Let me go!"
When Li Pan saw Senior Sister Wen, who had always been kind and gentle, her appearance suddenly changed, and she was stunned for a moment.
He also let go of his hand, and Wen Xuezhen felt the power in her wrist disappear, and then she jumped into the river without looking back.
Li Pan was stunned for a moment, then immediately came to his senses and saw Wen Xuezhen jumping in, remembering his master's repeated instructions to him before leaving the sect.
He followed Wen Xuezui's footsteps without hesitation and jumped into the river.
Cen Yue on the shore saw them jumping into the river one after another, and looked at them returning to the calm water, and pondered for a moment.
Finally, Cen Yue turned around and walked away.
Although he also felt sorry for such a good female swordsman, it was really not worth risking his own life for it.
As soon as Wen Xuezui jumped into the river, she couldn't wait to swim along the source of the golden light.
The closer to the bottom of the river, the more Wen Xuezui could feel the power, and her eyes showed joy.
Finally, she entered the secret realm as she wished.
The next moment, Wen Xuezhen's vision went dark and she fainted.
Yu Shu's mind was dizzy, but her ears were extremely noisy.
She slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was a grass roof. She propped herself up and looked around.
There are some shabby wooden furniture, and there is a children's wooden horse chair in the corner.
"037?" Yu Shu called in her heart.
No one answered. It seemed that she had not traveled through time again. This should be the formation that dragged her in.
Thinking of this, she called out again, "Ji Jue?"
No one answered her.
Yu Shu sighed. She looked at the scene around her and narrowed her eyes. She felt that something looked familiar here.
In her daze, she faintly heard the sound of sword blades clashing.
She frowned and walked outside the house, but there was no one outside.
A sound of suppressed sobs came from the side.
Yu Shu followed the sound and found a large tank filled with water, covered with a wooden board.
She listened carefully and determined that the sound was coming from here.
Then, she picked up the wooden board and saw a girl squatting in the water tank, covering her mouth with tears streaming down her face.
The board was opened, and the girl raised her head, her tearful eyes full of fear.
When Yu Shu saw the girl's facial features clearly, she felt a 'bang' in her head, and something exploded.
Thatched cottage, shabby furniture, a wooden horse chair, a girl hiding in a water tank...
This is the memory of the original body, and now is the day when the original body was exterminated by Wen Yuejing!
Yu Shu felt cold all over her body. In an instant, she dropped the wooden board and hurriedly walked outside.
She ran fast, with the wind whistling in her ears. She only had one thought, to go faster!
Immediately, she felt the fluctuation of spiritual power, and her eyes suddenly turned cold.
Yu Shu held the Qing Ming Sword in her hand and approached step by step in that direction.
Soon she saw Wen Yuejing. He was dressed in white and holding a long sword. His expression was indifferent, "I only want your daughter."
There was a couple opposite, wearing patched cloth clothes, with dark skin, and their rough hands crossed back and forth uneasily.
"Immortal, we only have one daughter. Is it because the child is ignorant and bumped into the Immortal? Well, then we will make amends to you."
As he said that, the eight-foot-tall man knelt down without hesitation, kowtowed to his head and said tremblingly, "Immortal, please let us go regardless of the villain's passing!"
The woman next to her knelt beside her husband, not daring to cry, and her shoulders kept shaking.
Wen Yuejing's eyes flashed, and he coaxed without changing his expression, "She has very good bones and is suitable for cultivation. I will take her back to the sect and teach her with all my heart."
The couple kneeling on the ground exchanged glances, and the woman shook her head slightly with tears in her eyes.
The man gritted his teeth and refused, "Immortal, cultivation is too hard. Our daughter is very delicate and cannot bear this hardship. I hope Immortal can forgive me."
After saying that, he kowtowed heavily several times, making muffled sounds.
It seemed that as long as they were respectful and apologetic enough, the immortal in front of them would let their only little daughter go.
"I'm so sorry for wasting the immortal's kindness, immortal!"
Yu Shu stood aside and stared at this scene in a daze. The breeze blew over and she suddenly felt a little chill on her face.
Oh, it turns out she was crying... This chapter has been completed!
