Chapter 361: Don't Use the Same Old Tricks
Everyone saw Qiu Ziyue, Qi Yuxuan, and Li Cunxu fall off the cliff.
Suddenly, a fierce wind swept across the western sky, and sand and dust filled the air.
"Are we still going to try to pass the test?" Leng Feng asked.
"Break through," Qiu Ruoshui said.
Leng Feng used his compass to determine his direction and adjusted his movement route by taking advantage of the wind.
However, Qiu Ziyue, Qi Yuxuan, and Li Cunxu fell to the bottom of the cliff, which threw him into a state of mental turmoil.
He was blown off balance by the wind several times and fell to the ground.
"Hold on tight! Otherwise you'll be caught in the eye of the storm!"
Qiu Ruoshui reminded her.
Leng Feng pulled out a special wristband he used when he was a combat coach.
This is used to enhance their balance and to move quickly with the help of the wind.
Ultimately, he successfully crossed the area of strong winds.
Next up is the fifth round – the Frost Mirror.
Qiu Langyu took the plunge, carefully taking each step while trying to decipher the underwater mechanisms.
However, his movements were too slow, causing the ice to begin to crack.
"Hurry up! Otherwise you'll be frozen here!"
Qiu Ruoshui urged.
In his panic, Qiu Langyu triggered a faulty mechanism, causing the entire ice layer to shatter instantly and freezing him into an ice sculpture.
Master Tie quickly took out a metal rod to probe the distribution of mechanisms beneath the ice.
With meticulous operation and steady steps, he successfully passed this test.
They quickly pulled Qiu Langyu's ice sculpture out of the fifth level and pushed it directly into the sixth level.
The sixth level is fire-based, with walls of fire burning fiercely.
The ice on Qiu Langyu's body melted instantly, and at the same time, the ice gradually suppressed the flames.
As the flames gradually died down, Qiu Langyu flipped over and jumped up.
The seventh round of earth movement slowly moved along with the rocky mountain.
Yun Feiyang leaped into the formation.
He carefully observed the internal structure of the rocky mountain, but was struck by a cold arrow fired from the mountain.
Master Tie leaped and pulled him back to the ground, and he moved slowly, risking his life.
The rocky mountain kept moving and kept firing cold arrows.
Master Tie kept dodging and weaving.
Finally, the rock stopped moving, and he successfully passed the test.
In the eighth round, Zhao Wanqing passed the Love Mirror Gate.
When Zhao Wanqing looked at herself in the mirror, her beautiful face suddenly became incredibly ugly.
She was tormented by a deep sense of inferiority to the point of near collapse.
"You're not good enough...you'll never succeed..."
The image in the mirror whispered a mocking tone.
"Hahaha, I'm not afraid!"
Zhao Wanqing shouted:
"I've taken the anti-aging pills Qiu Ziyue gave me, and I've turned into an 80-year-old woman. You think you can scare me like this?"
The image gradually faded away, and she successfully passed the test.
They passed all eight levels, but at a heavy price.
"You have successfully passed the test," the Mysterious Old Man said.
Exhausted, they reached the center of the formation, looked at each other's wounded bodies, and were filled with emotion.
Leng Feng slumped to the ground:
"What's the point of getting past this hurdle? Ziyue, Yuxuan, and Li Cunxu are all gone."
Zhao Wanqing also muttered:
"Whether it's a treasure or not, whether it's the restoration of the Tang Dynasty or not, it's all meaningless."
Everyone nodded silently.
"Everyone, go down the cliff and look for Ziyue, Yuxuan, and Cunxu."
Qiu Ruoshui said.
As dusk fell, the sky was dyed a deep orange.
The wind howled at the edge of the cliff, and the group stood beside the steep cliff face, their eyes searching every corner below.
Qiu Ziyue, however, never appeared.
"Qiu Ziyue! Qiu Ziyue!"
Everyone shouted themselves hoarse, but only an echo in the empty valley responded to her.
"How could this be? They clearly disappeared right here..."
Leng Feng crouched down and carefully examined the footprints under his feet.
The sun gradually sank below the horizon, and the sky grew increasingly dark.
The group continued their search, but they found nothing until night had completely fallen.
"Perhaps...perhaps they are no longer here."
Liu Xu choked up as she spoke, tears welling up in her eyes.
The others remained silent, their faces filled with confusion and disappointment.
Meanwhile, in a secluded cave dozens of miles from the cliff, Qiu Ziyue slowly opened her eyes.
She found herself lying in Qi Yuxuan's arms.
They all landed on the soft grass, surrounded by a warm, orange-yellow light.
Li Cunxu was not far away.
"You're awake."
A voice came.
Qiu Ziyue turned her head and saw an old woman with white hair and a youthful face sitting next to a pile of firewood in the cave, cooking something.
Who are you?
The old woman's gaze swept over Qi Yuxuan and Li Cunxu like a knife.
Qiu Ziyue was stunned for a moment, and before she could speak, Qi Yuxuan and Li Cunxu spoke almost simultaneously:
“We are her husbands.”
The old woman raised an eyebrow, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.
"Oh? You have two husbands? Hahaha!"
She burst into laughter, her voice filled with disdain and mockery.
"Men are the most unreliable people in the world! I don't believe that either of you truly love her!"
Qiu Ziyue frowned, about to explain, but was interrupted by the old woman.
"No need to say more! I can see that you are only after her beauty!"
Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless—"
Before she finished speaking, the old woman waved her hand, and two sharp energies shot straight toward Qi Yuxuan and Li Cunxu!
"stop!"
Qiu Ziyue exclaimed in surprise and quickly stepped in front of the two.
The old woman stopped what she was doing and gave a cold snort:
"Fine, you're quite protective of your own. In that case, I'll give you a choice:"
You can only choose one of these two men. The other must die!
Qiu Ziyue was stunned, looking at Qi Yuxuan and Li Cunxu with a complicated expression.
She opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.
"Don't kill them!"
Qiu Ziyue finally managed to utter a sentence, but her tone was clearly filled with exhaustion and helplessness.
"Mother-in-law, can you please stop with this cliché? This kind of plot is so annoying..."
I don't know what trauma you suffered when you were young that made you so xenophobic now.
The old woman's face darkened, clearly indicating that she had been touched on a sore spot.
"Hmph! Enough nonsense! Regardless of my past, you must pass this test! Otherwise, don't even think about leaving here alive!"
Qiu Ziyue rubbed her forehead and complained in a low voice:
"Can we please reduce the number of levels? I'm exhausted..."
"no!"
The old woman answered decisively.
"Tell me, which man do you want to live?"
Qiu Ziyue gritted her teeth, raised her head, and looked firmly at the old woman:
"I want both! Why do I have to choose? Can't they both live?"
The old woman gave a cold laugh:
"There's no such thing as a free lunch. It's either him or him, the decision is yours!"
Qiu Ziyue was silent for a moment:
"Mother-in-law, you're so childish!"
Suddenly, Qiu Ziyue drew a dagger from her waist and stabbed herself in the abdomen without hesitation!
"do not want!"
Qi Yuxuan and Li Cunxu shouted at the same time and pounced on Qiu Ziyue.
