Xuanxia

Chapter 535 Sleepy

The flame of the oil lamp flickered, illuminating the dim stone chamber.

In the stone chamber, Qiu Chan, Tang Jiao, Wu Yan and Tang Min were lying on the ground in a mess.

The door of this stone chamber was tightly closed, there were no windows and no wind. The only sounds were the even breathing of a few people and the slight crackling sound of the flame when the oil lamp was burning.

Suddenly, Wu Yan, who was originally in a deep sleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

He rolled his eyes and quickly looked around, then sat up swiftly, gently opened his mouth, spit out the pill under his tongue, and crushed it into powder with his fingertips.

Yes, he didn't swallow that pill!

Having lived in Xiyu Pavilion for such a long time, he has taken pills countless times and seen his companions taking medicine countless times. He knows very well what kind of breathing and pulse conditions will be revealed after taking the medicine.

Therefore, he simply put the pill in his mouth, and then used his powerful lurking and concealing skills to forcibly adjust his breathing and heartbeat, making himself look unconscious.

In the past, he probably wouldn't have been able to do this, but now he has broken through the sixth realm and has taken his control over his body to a higher level. In addition, he has been enemies with his former killer companions many times during this period, so he has had to practice his skills of lurking and concealing more meticulously, so now he can disguise himself perfectly.

Sure enough… even the man in the black hat couldn’t tell that he was not unconscious at all without special investigation.

Wu Yan stood up and looked around the stone chamber.

This is a place he is very familiar with.

In the past, every time he completed a task and took a pill, he would wake up in a stone chamber like this.

There was a bloodstained straw mat on the ground and a tightly closed stone door... everything was the same as before.

However, this time when I returned to Xiyu Pavilion, my identity was different.

He was thinking about how to open the stone door when he suddenly heard a light sound at his feet.

Wu Yan's pupils shrank slightly and he lowered his head, only to see that Tang Min had slowly opened his eyes, and was sitting up while shaking his head.

"you……"

He blurted out: "You didn't take the medicine either?"

"Huh? Also? You didn't take the medicine?" Tang Min rubbed his temple and said in a deep voice: "It seems that your hiding skills are good enough that you can pretend to be unconscious without being discovered... I can't do it, I took medicine."

Wu Yan glanced at the two women who were still unconscious: "Then, you shouldn't wake up."

"Haha, maybe I took too many medicines before."

Tang Min said as he slowly got up: "I have been through so many years, and I have eaten all kinds of poisonous plants and poisons... Although I don't have the anti-poison skills of the Miao people in Wandu Mountain, my blood has been mixed with countless poisons over the years. A little bit of drug won't keep me intoxicated for too long."

Wu Yan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"What's the situation now?"

Tang Min looked around and asked, "Where is this?"

"Xiyu Pavilion." Wu Yan said: "The person I want to kill is outside, I want to get out."

"The boy surnamed Fu is missing."

Tang Min asked, "Do you know where he went?"

Wu Yan nodded. He was not unconscious. He had naturally heard everything that the man in the black hat and Fu Qingzhou had said in the stone chamber of His Majesty the Yudin Palace.

"I guess he is meeting His Majesty."

He said softly, "Because of this, we should get out faster. If he dies, it will be more difficult to kill Your Majesty."

Tang Min frowned.

He didn't know how powerful His Majesty was, but if he thought about it a little, he would know that how could the Lord of Xiyu Pavilion, whose identity was unknown to the entire world, be weak?

And Wu Yan said before that the Lord was Jiang Baichuan?

He was a master of the fifth realm of the cave heaven! The Hundred-armed Sword Immortal, the number one person under Xuanxing!
Kill him? Are you kidding me?
But Tang Min is an old hand, he knows that there is no point in arguing with Wu Yan now... If Fu Qingzhou really goes to see the Lord, no matter what they do, it will not make much sense.

On the contrary, escaping is the most important thing right now. Maybe he can find some clues in Xiyu Pavilion and help solve his brother's case.

"Well, let's wake them both up first."

He said in a deep voice: "Let's find a way to escape from this stone chamber together."

Wu Yan nodded, too lazy to talk. He had already begun to feel around the edge of the stone door, looking for a way to open it. Tang Min woke up Tang Jiao, who then woke up Qiu Chan. The few of them quickly understood the current situation.

"Brother went to see His Majesty?"

Tang Jiao did not hide the worry in her eyes: "What will happen to him?"

"'He' said it." Wu Yan responded: "If that person finally chooses the side that is beneficial to Fu Qingzhou, then everything will be revealed."

"And if that person chooses a side that is not beneficial to Fu Qingzhou... then we will all die."

Qiu Chan frowned: "That person? Is it Xiyu Pavilion's Master?"

"Yes." Wu Yan was still groping at the stone door: "If you don't want to be a prey to humans, then try to find a way to escape from the stone chamber."

The three of them said no more nonsense... Indeed, it was useless to think about these things. The key was to figure out how to escape from the stone chamber first.

But... this stone chamber is so small that there is really not much to study.

In less than a moment, the four of them had touched every brick seam in the room, and even the straw mats on the floor had been completely removed by them, leaving strands of dry straw scattered all over the ground.

But... there is no mechanism.

The door of the stone chamber was tightly closed, and no matter how hard they pushed, it did not budge.

There was nothing strange about all the stone bricks on the walls, the floor, and the ceiling. No matter how they were knocked or touched, there was no response. Qiu Chan even took out the oil lamp and used the flame to heat them little by little, but it was useless.

"In the past, this door was always pushed in from the outside."

Wu Yan said in a deep voice: "We have never been allowed to leave the room on our own initiative... Now it seems that even if we want to go out, we can't."

"Damn, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Qiu Chan was furious: "If it can be pushed from the outside, then it must be an inward-opening door, right? Why don't we find a way to suck the door and pull it inward?"

Wu Yan: “…”

After a moment's silence, he murmured, "I didn't expect it."

Qiu Chan was too lazy to pay attention to him. She had already walked to the stone gate and pressed her hands on it.

But the stone door was as smooth as a mirror. No matter how hard she tried, she could not hold the stone door. The gap in the stone door was also very small, and even the soft sword could not be inserted.

Tang Min, Tang Jiao, and Wu Yan soon joined the ranks... but it was still useless.

The weapons in their hands were unable to damage the stone door. They couldn't even cut a mark on it to facilitate pulling. At most, they could only leave shallow marks.

"This talisman is not... this talisman is not good..."

Qiu Chan muttered as she shook out the yellow talismans on her body one by one: "This one doesn't seem to work either..."

As she flipped through the pages, her cheeks puffed up and her eyes bulged with anger.

"Sister Qiuchan."

Tang Jiao suddenly thought of something: "Brother said that the Zixiao Jiuyin Gong you practiced... can condense Qi into ice? If you freeze your hand and the door together, can you pull the door?"

Qiu Chan's eyes lit up!
But she soon revealed a headache: "But if I want to condense Qi into ice, I have to be in the sixth realm. I, I..."

"Sixth realm?" Wu Yan looked over calmly: "Let's break through."

Qiu Chan glared: "Does this thing mean you can break through it just by saying so?"

Wu Yan nodded: "I wanted to break through, and I broke through."

Qiu Chan rolled her eyes.

But after she paced a few circles, she saw several people constantly looking at her, and finally sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, there is no other way anyway, I will give it a try - Sister Tang Jiao, don't just watch, you come too."

After saying that, she sat down cross-legged, leaning against the wall.

Faced with such an outrageous request of "breaking through together", Tang Jiao actually had no objection. After saying "oh", she also sat down cross-legged.

Maybe for women who do everything with their besties, it’s not too strange to break through together?
Soon, a white mist of spiritual emptiness condensed in the small stone chamber...
