Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 199 Lovesickness
After finally passing the "Red Dust Corridor of Inquiry", Xueying, Sangmen and Jiehui ordered their disciples to search everywhere. They found that there were no treasures or spiritual objects in the underground palace. It was completely empty, like a maze.

After walking forward for about an incense stick of time, everyone finally arrived at a large hall.

Jie Hui summoned a golden ring that was all flaming, cast a spell to enlarge it, and the leaping flames pushed the shadows of the hall to the corners of the walls.

The first thing that catches your eye is an ice jade bed located in the center of the hall.

The bed was as cold as ice and jade, and it was emitting a chill. On it lay a skeleton, holding an ordinary-looking stone box in its arms.

Sangmen said: "That should be Yu Wuxia's body."

Blood Shadow nodded: "I'll go take a look."

Among the five shadows, Blood Shadow was the most agile. His figure turned into a streak of blood and appeared beside the Ice Marrow Jade Bed in the blink of an eye.

However, he was quite cautious and did not touch the stone box directly. Instead, he set his eyes on the jade bed.

There are words engraved on it!

"My dear, you died in a calamity, and there is no hope of ascending to heaven. Therefore, I place your remains here, hoping you will rest in peace."

Xueying said, "It turns out that Yu Wuxia died in a heavenly calamity, and it was his wife who collected his remains."

Sangmen urged, "Hurry up and open the box and take a look."

Jie Hui had been tongueless since childhood and could not speak, so he could only stare at various places in the hall. Although he could not see any clues now, there were bluestone sculptures everywhere, which looked very ordinary.

But he had a hunch that there must be traps here.

As expected, just when Blood Shadow's fingertips were about to touch the stone box, the Ice Marrow Jade Bed suddenly became filled with mist, which made Blood Shadow, who was in the Return to Void Realm, feel as if his blood and qi had solidified.

Fine ice crystals appeared on the blue brick ground, and the white mist he exhaled was condensed into frost particles and fell before it could rise.

At the same time, the stone box in the arms of the withered skeleton opened silently, revealing a hint of green and red color.

Xueying originally wanted to take the treasure directly, but his body was unknowingly covered with a layer of frost. He had no time to react, and the spiritual energy and divine consciousness in his body were blocked.

Fortunately, Sangmen noticed something was wrong, and his left arm immediately transformed into a giant hand. The sound of flesh tearing mixed with the roar of bones reassembling. The huge blue-gray hand penetrated the icy mist, grasped the blood shadow in its palm, and forcibly brought it back.

After Blood Shadow left the jade bed's range, his cultivation level recovered and he exhaled a breath of cold air.

At this moment, the fire ring in Jiehui's hand suddenly expanded, and the flames burned a charred line under the feet of everyone.

Everyone then noticed the movement above their heads, and when they looked up, they found that the hall was already filled with "love threads" without them noticing.

The Love Thread Blade is a unique technique of the Hehuan Sect. When unleashed, it resembles a spider web, incredibly light yet incredibly insidious. Once these crimson threads touch a living being, they instantly entwine and devour flesh and blood, a brutal act.

Fortunately, the fire ring cast by Jie Hui can restrain the love thread, and the flames keep swallowing and spitting out, which is enough to protect the people in the circle from harm.

Blood Shadow followed the thread of love to find its source and discovered that there was a faint red hue in the ice jade bed. Upon closer inspection, he found a red lotus inside.

It is one of the secret treasures of the Hehuan Sect - "Red Lotus of Love".

The lotus is only the size of a jade plate, with seventy-two petals. Its core absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, allowing it to breathe in and out threads of love. During the heyday of the Hehuan Sect, there was a pond filled with red lotuses of love.

Xueying said, "Find a way to smash that jade bed!"

"I've had this idea for a long time." Sangmen's left arm suddenly grew stronger again, and he punched the jade bed.

However, the ice mist took effect again. As soon as it touched the arm, it made it extremely heavy, and the surrounding love threads were also pulled by the fist wind and entangled with it.

In the blink of an eye, the giant arm was entangled in the threads of love, and it looked like it was about to turn into dry bones. Seeing this, Sangmen had no choice but to withdraw his hand and ordered Jiehui to burn away the threads with fire. Even so, his face was pale and he was still seriously injured.

Blood Shadow thought for a moment and then said, "We will attack together."

As the shadows of the Tiancan Sect, the three of them had a great understanding of each other and started to move upon hearing the words.

Jie Hui cast a spell with all his might, causing the fire ring to transform into nine fiery dragons, which circled around with dragon roars, burning the threads of love. However, this also reduced the fire ring by nearly half, leaving many disciples without a place to hide and exposed.

They each cast spells to resist, but it was no use facing the overwhelming love. If they accidentally touched the scarlet silk thread, they would be sucked into bones in an instant.

The mysterious scriptures recited from the Sangmen Gate cheered up the disciples who were thinking of retreating. Their eyes turned dark and they seemed to have lost their minds.

They surrounded the three elders in the center, and were willing to sacrifice their own bodies to escort the fire ring closer to the jade bed.

The closer they got to the Ice Marrow Jade Bed, the more their love threads became like a tight web, with no escape from them. For a moment, they were evenly matched with the Fire Dragon, and neither could suppress the other.

Blood Shadow ordered, "Be prepared to pick me up."

Sangmen nodded and immediately ordered several disciples to rush towards the jade bed one after another. As a result, they were all frozen to death in mid-air by the ice fog, and their bodies turned into ice sculptures.

With the help of the firelight, the corpses were illuminated as vague shadows, and Blood Shadow used his magical powers to instantly move into the shadows of others.

He turned into a streak of blood, moving extremely quickly. After several twists and turns, he was getting closer and closer to the stone box.

Despite this, when Xueying's fingertips were only half an inch away from the stone box, frost marks had quietly climbed up the side of his neck and formed into ice crystals.

Seeing that the event was about to be accomplished, Jie Hui rallied his spirits and sent two fire dragons to protect Blood Shadow, doing their best to melt the ice. Sang Men then used all his strength to swing his fist and smash it into the ground, causing a tremor in the underground palace.

The stone box shook, and the strange green and red colors in it were shaken out of the stone box and were just caught by the blood shadow in the air.

"Retreat!" Blood Shadow shouted.

Sangmen used the same trick again and stretched out his giant hand to pull the blood shadow back.

Jie Hui called back the Fire Dragon, and it condensed into a complete fire circle again, protecting the remaining disciples of Tiancan Sect as they began to flee out of the underground palace.

As the treasures in the stone box were taken away, the Ice Marrow Jade Bed became dim and the red lotus of love hidden in it also lost its vitality.

Zhuque heard loud noises coming from the valley and asked curiously, "You still haven't told me what's hidden in the underground palace?"

Yun Yi replied, "The corpse of Yu Wuxia, the first leader of the He Huan Sect, and the leader's token of love."

"Love Note? What does it look like?"

"A jade pendant with green and red interwoven."

"With it, can we open the giant mouth of the mirage monster?"

"That's right, and the jade pendant also contains information about the treasure's location. When the time comes, the Tiancan Sect will naturally find the mirage monster."

The three shadows of Tiancan Sect were the first to rush out of the underground palace, followed closely by the remaining disciples, but less than half of them came out alive.

Qianji took the "Xiangsi Yin" which looked like a jade pendant and looked at it carefully, but his expression was not very good.

Seeing this, Zhuque chuckled and said, "The Tiancan Sect has suffered heavy losses this time."
