Xu Fengzui opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but stopped himself.

Jiang Jingmo's words were vague, so vague that it seemed as if he was afraid someone would hear them.

Xu Fengzui suddenly felt that it would be better for him to ask less questions. Now it seemed that only the girl in front of him had discovered some clues.

If Jiuxiao Sect doesn't want to lose the sect conference, it will always want to leave somewhere. If she can't help, then she should just stop making trouble.

Xu Fengzui looked at her deeply, returned to his original place, and did not tell Nan Xun and the others that they no longer needed to look for her.

Because she suddenly felt that although they couldn't find any clues, others might be able to, and this might give them a glimmer of hope.

Jiang Jingmo didn't know what she was thinking. She was just focused on her own things. As for Xu Fengzui, she just thought that he was a smart person.

If he met someone who wanted to get to the bottom of things, Jiang Jingmo would not know how to respond.

It would be fine if her guess was false, but if it was true, I'm afraid no one would end up well.

As he was thinking about it, the surroundings became quiet, with only the sounds of a few disciples of Jiuxiao Sect moving around.

Nan Xun lay on the wall, feeling around inch by inch to see if there were any mechanisms or something. He looked like a giant toad. An Yang took his walking stick and went to every stone path, then circled back here accurately, with a hint of annoyance on his face.

Jiang Jingmo gently gathered a bunch of coldness with her fingertips, and then dispersed it. The temperature around her dropped a little. Shen Shuli was originally trying to find out if there was any formation here, but turned around and noticed the former's action, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Still, it seems like nothing was gained.

"Why do I feel like the Jiuxiao Sect doesn't seem to have a way to get out of here?"

Mu Qianyuan couldn't help feeling discouraged as she watched everyone in the cave busying around but finding nothing.

"I think so, too. If we could get out, we would have done so a long time ago. But we have been trapped for three days now. Even if we are automatically teleported out after seven days, I think we can only be ranked last."

The junior fellow of Changqing Sect named Qi Shu sighed, obviously having little confidence in them.

"I think they might find it."

Suddenly, the green-robed young man who had been silent beside them spoke. His voice was slightly hoarse, and it was obvious that he had not spoken for a long time.

Everyone in Changqing Sect looked at him with a hint of surprise. It wasn't entirely because he trusted everyone in Jiuxiao Sect so much, but mainly because he hadn't spoken for a long time.

They had been with this young man for three days, except for the time when they first met, when he spoke his name, Chu Yangjing.

He never spoke again after that.

Everyone in Changqing Sect knew that he was the third prince and did not ask many questions. However, they did not know that they would be trapped in this place as soon as they came in and have been trapped for three days.

But it can be said that this so-called prince is quite hard-working. He walked so much with them in the three days but never complained of being tired. He was just as silent as a ghost, and they almost treated him as if he didn't exist.

But what Chu Yangjing said at this moment finally made them remember him.

"Your Highness, why do you trust them so much?"

Qi Shu spoke first and looked at Chu Yangjing with some curiosity.

“They discovered something you didn’t.”

Chu Yangjing was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth to explain. After that, no matter what Qi Shu asked, he no longer answered.

"What did they find? Didn't you just go and see it, Senior Sister?"

Qi Shu was so itchy after hearing Chu Yangjing's words that he turned his gaze to Xu Fengzui who was wiping the formation plate.

The latter looked up at him, then lowered his eyes and continued to wipe the formation plate.

"I don't know, but it's better not to ask."

Qi Shu:?

What's wrong with everyone today? Why is even Senior Sister Xu playing charades?

Xu Fengzui looked at Qi Shu scratching his head and couldn't help laughing for a moment. She didn't want to be so secretive, but now they could only hope that the person in front of them could lead them to find a way out.

Since she doesn't want people to ask, it's better not to ask.

After a long time, Nanxun and his companions, who had been searching for clues for a while, found nothing and sat down cross-legged in the open space tiredly.

"This is really strange. I have never encountered so many strange things in secret realms before. Is it because I am unlucky this year?"

Nan Xun collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion. His fingers were covered with dust from the stones, and some of them were scratched by the sharp edges of the stones, oozing blood.

"There's nothing in the stone path. Zhuzhu and I have checked it many times." An Yang also sat aside dejectedly with her cane in her arms. Zhuzhu was the new name she gave to the cane.

Jiang Jingmo also asked the reason on the way, and An Yang just said that the cane liked it, so she called him that. Her understanding was that the cane might think that he looked like a bamboo, after all, it was very straight.

Jiang Jingmo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't say much, just letting the child keep his childish innocence.

"Did Junior Sister find anything?"

Nan Xun looked at Jiang Jingmo who was whispering with Shen Shuli, and felt that she seemed to have discovered something.

"Well, I discovered something."

Jiang Jingmo nodded happily this time, because she had verified her guess several times and now only one final attempt was left.

"What did you find?" Nan Xun immediately became alert.

"I can't tell you right now. We still have to verify this discovery one last time, so I might do something extreme in a moment, but please believe me."

Jiang Jingmo smiled at them and took out the magic pen from his arms. With the injection of coldness, the white hair tip instantly grew wildly, alternating crisscrossing. In the blink of an eye, the magic pen turned into a magic sword flashing with cold light.

"Really betting?"

Jiang Jingmo, holding a long sword, looked at Shen Shuli who was walking slowly towards him and confirmed with him for the last time.

Everyone didn't understand what was going on and could only listen to the conversation between the two in confusion.

"Well, it's quite exciting." Shen Shuli raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his lips.

"Gamblers don't have a good ending."

Jiang Jingmo had a smile on her face, but her hand holding the magic sword was extremely cold. However, she did not say any unnecessary words. She thrust the sword in her hand cleanly into the chest of the person in front of her, piercing Shen Shuli's heart.

Blood gushed out from the wound, dripping onto the ground, creating blood flowers.

Shen Shuli didn't seem to be in much pain, and even had a smile on her face. In contrast, Jiang Jingmo's fingertips were trembling slightly.

“It’s about to open.”

Shen Shuli said softly, stretched out his hand to grasp the hilt of the spirit sword and Jiang Jingmo's trembling fingertips, and then pushed the spirit sword that had been inserted into the body deeper.

Then he turned his wrist, and the sword turned with it, crushing his heart.

After a while, the man's hand left the sword and fell limply.
