Chapter 1610: Chapter 1610: Finally Waiting for You
"What’s wrong?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"I almost forgot, the Seven Spirit Divine Heart Bracelet has already been used for almost two hours and can’t be used again." Jiang Qiling said as she put away the bracelet and cautiously moved forward like a blind person feeling an elephant.
"Let’s go, don’t worry, there’s no danger ahead." Mu Hanyan watched with amusement as she dragged Jiang Qiling forward swiftly.
"Slow down, slow down, the North Abyss Misty Plain is full of Earth Split Abyss everywhere, and if you’re not careful, you might encounter a Desolate Storm, and there are also Exotic Beasts hidden in the shadows. If you want to court death, go ahead, just don’t drag me along," Jiang Qiling shouted, sweating profusely as she struggled.
"Nonsense, we came all the way here from the entrance of the North Abyss Misty Plain; do you think we don’t know the dangers here?" Mu Hanyan responded.
Only then did Jiang Qiling realize that both Mu Hanyan and the others wouldn’t have less understanding of the North Abyss Misty Plain than herself. Yet, oddly enough, not only did Mu Hanyan cheerfully sprint forward, but even the people behind her seemed completely unfazed.
"Do you also have a Magic Artifact to enhance your Divine Sense?" Jiang Qiling quickly deduced that Mu Hanyan wasn’t oblivious to the risks of the Beiyuan Fog Abyss but was rather well-prepared, so she asked.
"No." Mu Hanyan shook her head.
"Then, have you brought something that can foresee danger, like an auspicious beast?" Jiang Qiling continued her inquiry.
"No." Mu Hanyan shook her head again. Although she did have an auspicious beast with her, it was fast asleep and wouldn’t be of any help.
"Then what’s going on?" Jiang Qiling grew increasingly perplexed.
"Just use your eyes to see directly. Oh, I forgot to tell you, my Divine Sense is very strong, even stronger than yours after using the Seven Spirit Divine Heart Bracelet." Mu Hanyan said.
"What? That’s impossible!" Jiang Qiling looked at Mu Hanyan in shock and disbelief.
Mu Hanyan did not offer further explanation, only smiled slightly and turned her head away.
Originally, she did not intend to discourage Jiang Qiling, but when she saw her stubborn determination, Mu Hanyan thought of something else. Telling Jiang Qiling her true identity to make her submit was obviously unrealistic; if it weren’t her own story, she wouldn’t believe it herself. For the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate and to enhance her power, one day Jiang Qiling would stand on the opposite side.
Perhaps hitting her a bit early might make her give up, at least so that future setbacks wouldn’t hurt her too badly.
Jiang Qiling looked at Mu Hanyan lost in thought, her heart a mix of complex emotions. She knew Mu Hanyan wouldn’t lie to her. Reflecting on Mu Hanyan’s strength and her current self, she suddenly felt a bit disheartened. Even with the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate, it seemed meaningless—she could never be her match.
In the following days, Jiang Qiling quietly pondered, occasionally pointing out directions but seldom speaking.
Unknowingly, several days passed quickly.
"We’re here," Jiang Qiling suddenly said.
"We’re here?" Zhuang Ping’an and the others looked around in confusion; there was no sign of Huayue and the others.
But Mu Hanyan was excited, for through the mist she could see several towering peaks ahead, exactly as she had seen in the Heavenly Secret Mirror.
Following Mu Hanyan for another dozen steps forward, Zhuang Ping’an and the others also saw the majestic mountains and looked astonished.
Moments ago, it was an endless plain, but with a single step, they saw such grand peaks. They realized that following Mu Hanyan along this path, they had no idea how many Earth Split Abysses they had avoided, or how many Desolate Storms they had evaded.
Mu Hanyan vividly remembered that in the image the Heavenly Secret Mirror had shown, Huayue and the others were heading toward the central peak. After a brief rest, she led the group to climb the mountain.
Through the rugged journey, when Huayue and others’ familiar silhouettes appeared in sight, Mu Hanyan was almost moved to tears.
The mist on the mountainside had thinned considerably, and from five or six yards away, Zhuang Ping’an and others could also see them. At this moment, they were all in tattered clothes and dusty, with glaring wounds visible under their torn garments. Some were clearly injured by chaotic Wind Blades while avoiding Desolate Storms, while others were hurt by Exotic Beasts’ claws, with everyone bearing dozens of crisscrossed scars.
"Huayue, Zirong!" Mu Hanyan shouted with joy as she rushed towards them.
"Hanyan, you’re finally here!" Huayue and the others turned around in surprise and appeared greatly relieved.
Seeing that Mu Hanyan did not issue any warnings, Zhuang Ping’an and the others knew there was no danger nearby, so they also gathered around.
Seeing them in such a bruised state, Mu Hanyan was about to chastise them when Tang Bufan happily said, "Finally, you’re here, and now Qian Ji can be saved!"
"Qian Ji, where is he?" Hearing this, Mu Hanyan could no longer utter words of reproach and asked excitedly.
Tang Bufan’s words confirmed that Fen Qianji was indeed not dead, and the boulder in her heart finally settled.
"Over there," Huayue pointed downward.
Their resting place was near a cliff. Mu Hanyan stepped forward and looked down, seeing below the cliff, surrounded by mountains, a massive natural sinkhole.
The sinkhole spanned thousands of feet in diameter and was so deep that the bottom was out of sight, as if a massive Meteorite had smashed into an abyss thousands of feet deep. What was most astonishing was that this sinkhole was covered in prohibitions, making it feel unfathomable.
"The Holy Soul Illusion Realm’s trial ended, and we were forcibly teleported out. We thought we’d return to the Holy Court but ended up here in the Beiyuan Fog Origin. However, we didn’t know it was the Beiyuan Fog Abyss; we thought it was another Cultivation Illusion Realm. Until we went through the teleportation passage and saw Qian Ji restrained there; it was then we realized it was the Luoshen Abyss, and of course, this is the North Abyss Misty Plain," Huayue explained.
"We originally planned to stay there and wait for you, but later we encountered a Desolate Storm and barely managed to escape. Afraid of losing our way and never finding our way back, we also heard that the location of Luoshen Abyss changes frequently, so we thought we might as well come here. If you can find us, you’ll naturally find Qian Ji," Zirong added.
Only then did Mu Hanyan understand why, when she saw them in the Heavenly Mechanism Realm, they neither went to the Heavenly Curtain nor left the North Abyss Misty Plain in the opposite direction. They came here for the Luoshen Abyss. They also knew that she would exhaust every effort to find them, and as long as she found them, she would find the Luoshen Abyss.
