Chapter 399: No Turning Back
Chapter 399: No Turning Back
After comparing the two, Yue Mingxuan turned toward Hua Fengyun and said, "This is enough. Thank you."
"You’re certain you want to enter through here? If I remember correctly, this place is a..."
Hua Fengyun’s expression changed repeatedly.
Without giving it much thought, Yue Mingxuan condensed an Ice Needle and used it to open the door.
The moment the door opened, they discovered the skeletons that was scattered across the ground.
For anyone, especially someone young, such a sight was deeply shocking.
Looking at the scene before him, Yue Mingxuan felt a wave of sadness rise within his heart.
No matter which sect or family it was, perhaps all of them were built upon such bloody foundations.
Yue Mingxuan understood this very well.
Even so, he still found it difficult to accept the reality before his eyes.
He truly did not want to witness a scene like this for a second time.
"Let’s go."
A trace of reluctance appeared on Yue Mingxuan’s face.
Shang Qinghua understood exactly what troubled him, but at this point they truly had no other path available.
Since they had already chosen this road, there was no turning back.
Shang Qinghua understood that clearly.
Therefore, when Yue Mingxuan faced such a grim scene, the only thing he could do was quietly comfort him from behind.
After leaving the hidden chamber of the Dongyue Hua family, Yue Mingxuan let out a long sigh.
They had returned to the Nine Abyssal Gate once again.
And directly opposite them stood the prison where Tang Youyou was being held.
He could see it clearly.
After all, he had been here before.
Although he did not know what hardships or dangers awaited ahead, he believed that as long as he continued moving forward, there would eventually be a result.
That was what Yue Mingxuan kept telling himself.
As he advanced, he gradually realized that there were indeed very few guards left in the area.
The person who had been interrogating Tang Youyou earlier also seemed to have fallen asleep by now.
He did not know what kind of effect the earlier disturbance had caused, but the place currently appeared relatively peaceful.
Thinking this, countless thoughts ran through Yue Mingxuan’s mind.
Step by step, he moved forward.
Fortunately, there did not seem to be any particular danger ahead.
There were very few traps or similar hazards along the way.
Even if there had been any, it felt as though his unstoppable determination had thrown everything into disorder.
At this moment, Yue Mingxuan truly feared nothing.
He simply continued forward one step at a time, watching the scene before him gradually become more and more real.
He was going to rescue Tang Youyou.
At present, that was the only thought occupying his mind.
Then, he truly entered the room.
When Tang Youyou saw Yue Mingxuan, the shock on her face was completely understandable.
After all, news of her capture had never even been spread to the outside world.
Tang Youyou had originally believed that no one would come to rescue her.
She had only intended to buy as much time as possible.
What she had never expected was that Yue Mingxuan would actually come.
"Why did you come?"
The usual hostility had vanished from Tang Youyou’s voice.
Perhaps she was genuinely shocked.
The relationship between her and Yue Mingxuan could not exactly be described as good.
And yet, Yue Mingxuan had come here to save her.
"Don’t expect me to be grateful because of this."
Even though she felt deeply grateful inside, not a trace of gratitude appeared on Tang Youyou’s face.
When she saw Shang Qinghua and Yue Mingxuan standing together, her expression darkened even further.
Yue Mingxuan merely smiled.
He knew that when it came to matters like this, Tang Youyou always tended to say one thing while meaning another.
He was not blind to Tang Youyou’s feelings for Shang Qinghua.
However, he had come here to rescue Tang Youyou, so there was no time to dwell on such matters.
"I’m here to save you," Yue Mingxuan said with a smile.
Tang Youyou still wore an unpleasant expression.
"Why did you come?!"
An unmistakable trace of anxiety could be heard in her voice.
Yue Mingxuan knew that Tang Youyou was worried he would get hurt.
The Nine Abyssal Gate was filled with countless traps and dangers.
A single careless mistake could result in death.
Tang Youyou did not want Yue Mingxuan to come to harm, which was why she spoke to him in such a manner.
"Since I’ve already come, there’s no point investigating my reasons too deeply, is there?" Yue Mingxuan said with a smile.
With a flick of his hand, an Ice Needle shot forward and unlocked the shackles binding Tang Youyou.
The Ice Needle appeared incredibly sharp and formidable, yet it struck with astonishing precision, opening the restraints without causing Tang Youyou the slightest injury.
"Your cultivation has improved somewhat."
Tang Youyou rubbed her wrists and the expression on her face finally softened a little.
"If I didn’t possess this level of strength, how could I dare come here to rescue you?" Yue Mingxuan replied, his expression carrying a hint of pride.
Seeing Yue Mingxuan looking so confident and self-assured, Tang Youyou could not help laughing.
Yue Mingxuan was still far too endearing.
Even she found it impossible to stay angry with him.
However, this was indeed an extremely dangerous place and not somewhere they should remain for long.
"Let’s go."
The moment Tang Youyou’s words fell, Rong Zishen’s face appeared before the three of them.
"I’ll hold him off."
Making a decision instantly, Tang Youyou pushed the other three people away.
Naturally, Yue Mingxuan refused to accept that.
He immediately pushed Tang Youyou aside and stared coldly at Rong Zishen.
Rong Zishen merely looked back at Yue Mingxuan, a trace of mockery visible in his expression.
Now that Yue Mingxuan and the others had entered the Nine Abyssal Gate alone, there was no possibility they would leave unharmed.
