Chapter 457
Because of the Yuyuan incident, the entire Shushan fell into a state of combat readiness with everyone being a soldier. At the same time, apart from Yu Jun, the Great Elder, the other elders of Shushan also began to flip through the classics.
They wanted to find out more about the ancient times, figure out Did Chi You's next destination, and see if they could find a way to deal with him in the classics.
Did Chi You had suffered a loss at Su Xuan's hands this time after breaking free from the Yuyuan. As expected, his next step would be to recover his power. In the past, when Did Chi You was defeated and died, although the Dragon God could not kill him, he had divided and buried him, splitting him up. In other words, Did Chi You's power had been divided into many parts and sealed in different places one after another.
If they could find these places, they could find Did Chi You's tracks and eliminate him directly before he recovered his power.
As for Yu Jun, he took Su Xuan to tour around Shushan.
Initially, after Su Xuan demanded the Fusang Divine Tree, the two were at daggers drawn and had a fight. Later, after the Yuyuan seal was broken and Did Chi You broke free, Su Xuan took action to repel Did Chi You, realizing that Su Xuan would be the key figure in dealing with Did Chi You.
Yu Jun's hostility towards Su Xuan also gradually dissipated quite a bit.
Although he was still somewhat concerned about Su Xuan's Yin-Yang School identity, there was no longer any hatred.
Earlier, he had told Su Xuan about the origin of the Yuyuan and the origin of the Shushan Shilan tribe.
At this moment, while the two were alone, Su Xuan asked him about some matters concerning Shushan.
Regarding these matters, as long as Yu Jun knew, he answered Su Xuan.
After all, the breaking of the Yuyuan seal had already become a fact, and at this time, it was better to be frank.
After learning about the origin of Shushan, Su Xuan made a request to Yu Jun, "I want to go into the Yuyuan and take a look!"
Yu Jun's eyes suddenly narrowed.
The Yuyuan was the forbidden ground of Shushan, and it was strictly forbidden for anyone to step into it. Even the Yuyuan guards could not go deep into it and could only wander on its periphery, let alone Su Xuan, an outsider.
However, he quickly came back to his senses.
The Yuyuan seal had already been broken, and the existence sealed within had already escaped.
The Yuyuan had already lost any use.
Going in to take a look would not matter; perhaps through the layout inside the Yuyuan, they could find a way to re-seal Did Chi You.
Yu Jun nodded and said, "That is fine, but I must go in with you!"
"That is, of course, no problem. After all, the Yuyuan is the forbidden ground of your clan, and I don't even know where it is." Su Xuan had no objections to Yu Jun's words.
Did Chi You had already left Shushan for a while, and no one knew where his next stop would be or how long it would take for him to recover his power.
Therefore, Su Xuan and Yu Jun did not delay for too long and headed straight for the Yuyuan.
Under Yu Jun's guidance, Su Xuan soon arrived at the back mountain of Shushan.
Arriving at the side of the cliff, a small path appeared in Su Xuan's eyes. Under Yu Jun's guidance, Su Xuan stepped onto the path, and finally, arrived at a platform on the cliff, where a pitch-black cave entrance appeared before him.
"I didn't expect that the legendary Yuyuan would actually be a cave!"
Su Xuan looked at the cave and sighed.
Yu Jun glanced at Su Xuan, said nothing, and continued to lead the way in front.
The two stepped into the cave and followed it for a while, finally arriving at a huge mountain space. In front, a huge abyss located inside the mountain blocked their path.
Su Xuan also realized what Yu Jun's earlier look meant.
Alright, the Yuyuan was truly an abyss, and this cave was just a path leading to the Yuyuan.
Although he guessed wrong, Su Xuan did not feel embarrassed. As long as he didn't care, there would be no uncomfortable emotions.
Yu Jun did not look at the Yuyuan, but looked to the side, where several corpses lay on the ground. They were wearing the clothing of the Shushan tribe, but their state of death looked extremely terrifying; they had become skin and bones, and their flesh and blood seemed to have evaporated into thin air.
"It looks like they died from having their blood and qi absorbed!"
Su Xuan followed Yu Jun's gaze, looked at these corpses, and said.
Yu Jun sighed, a look of sorrow appearing in his eyes.
Even though they were unrecognizable, he recognized who these people were at the first moment.
They were the few people he had sent out to investigate the Yuyuan when it was in turmoil earlier.
These people had all reached the edge of the Yuyuan, but they still failed to stop the escaping Did Chi You and were killed after having all their blood and qi absorbed by him.
"Rest assured, I can see that their deaths happened in an instant. In other words, it was not as painful as one might imagine."
Su Xuan comforted Yu Jun.
Yu Jun nodded and said nothing.
He then said to Su Xuan, "Since my clan upheld the command of the Profound Maiden, we have never actively stepped into the bottom of the Yuyuan, and at most, we have stopped here. However, according to the records, there should be a small path next to the Yuyuan that leads directly to the bottom."
Yu Jun prepared to go and look for it.
Su Xuan, however, said, "No need to look!"
Yu Jun was stunned.
Su Xuan's arm suddenly rested on Yu Jun's shoulder.
Yu Jun's muscles subconsciously tensed up, revealing a sense of alertness, but immediately after, he let go of his guard.
Although he did not know what Su Xuan was planning to do, he must have a way to get to the bottom of the Yuyuan.
He let Su Xuan's palm rest on his shoulder, and immediately after, he felt a strong wind arise.
The wind supported him and Su Xuan's figures, flying towards the Yuyuan.
And then, they jumped down—
Gale winds blew, and the whistling sound echoed in his ears.
Yu Jun's mind was shocked 330; he never expected that Su Xuan would use such a method to step into the Yuyuan.
According to the clan's classics, the Yuyuan was unfathomable.
Was Su Xuan not afraid of falling to his death by jumping directly into the abyss like this?
Well, it seemed he really wasn't afraid.
Yu Jun felt the strong wind supporting his body, the inertia of the fall easing, and he realized once again the high level of Su Xuan's methods.
The two fell for a while.
Finally, they arrived at a flat ground.
Yu Jun knew that he had arrived at the bottom of the Yuyuan.
He narrowed his eyes and looked around, but could see nothing; it was pitch black here.
Su Xuan raised his hand, trying to condense a ball of flame, but as soon as the flame was born, it extinguished.
"Interesting!"
Su Xuan said softly.
The flame condensed from the power of heaven and earth seemed to have been suppressed by some force, unable to illuminate the Yuyuan.
Then, what about the light condensed from magic power?
Su Xuan's mind moved, and a dazzling light was released from his body.
Noticing the golden light released from Su Xuan's body, Yu Jun felt a sense of wanting to keep his distance, subconsciously not daring to get close to Su Xuan.
This was the Art of Generating Light, which could emit a protective divine light, which could be said to be immune to all laws, keeping all evil at bay, with light covering the body, and having infinite wonderful uses.
At this instant, Su Xuan became the light!
