Chapter 124: Trapped in Desperation Again
Hu Qian’er quietly waited for Ye Xuan to recover his strength. During this time, her thoughts were extremely conflicted. She suspected Ye Xuan of harboring ulterior motives, yet she had no choice but to quietly observe.
She had already tried and realized that with her own abilities, there was absolutely no way to escape from this place. Below this vast cold abyss, not to mention people, even birds with poor flying capabilities couldn’t escape. Only by relying on Ye Xuan’s strange magic was there a possibility.
She had originally wanted to restrain Ye Xuan to prevent him from using any tricks. But remembering how Ye Xuan had blocked the attack for her, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
Time passed, and Ye Xuan finally took a deep breath. He had spent this time in a cell, naturally eating poorly… 𝔣𝖗𝔢𝖊𝔴𝖊𝔟𝔫𝔬𝖛𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝔬𝔪
Under normal circumstances, he would have already recovered his strength. However, now, no matter how he circulated his qi, his strength couldn’t be fully restored. If he forcibly gathered his qi, it would probably accelerate the consumption of his strength instead.
With no other choice, Ye Xuan had to stop trying to recover his strength. He said to Hu Qian’er, “Qian’er, next I’ll try to get both of us out of here. As for where we’ll end up, I’m not sure, so be careful on your own.”
“Don’t call me Qian’er–!!!” Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Hu Qian’er coldly said, “Are we that familiar?!”
Although she was embarrassed to attack Ye Xuan now, being called “Qian’er” by Ye Xuan still made her feel disgusted.
“Heh.” Ye Xuan gave a light laugh. Regardless, he just needed to get Hu Qian’er out of here, and his task would be completed. After that, he could go meet Ling’er. No matter how coldly Hu Qian’er spoke to him, it was all over.
Ye Xuan raised his hands, his fingers formed into sword gestures, positioned in front of him. He was about to use his magic, but as his qi circulated, the next moment, a heart-piercing pain shot through his heart.
“Ah–!!!”
The next moment, Ye Xuan let out a scream of agony, his body writhing on the ice like a live fish thrown into a frying pan.
“What… what’s wrong with you–!!!” Seeing Ye Xuan emitting an ominous green light, Hu Qian’er couldn’t help but become worried. She watched him and asked.
“No… it’s no use… whenever I try to cast a spell, I feel as if my lungs and heart are being gnawed by thousands of poisons, my body feels as if it’s being scorched by fierce flames, the pain is unbearable, and I simply can’t perform the spell.”
After a long time, Ye Xuan’s face was pale, and his body was covered in beads of sweat as he spoke to Hu Qian’er:
“I’ll pass this spell to you; you try it.”
“Pass it to me?” Hu Qian’er looked puzzled, “Can I also learn this spell?”
“The person who passed me the spell said that anyone with a foundation in qi can perform this spell,” Ye Xuan said.
Hu Qian’er looked wary: “There’s no problem with this spell, right?”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan thought for a moment and assured her, “I don’t know, it’s up to you whether you want to try it or not.”
Hu Qian’er looked around at the frigid landscape and thought that if she stayed here, she would eventually die anyway. It might be worth a try.
Thinking this, she said to Ye Xuan, “Fine, teach me the spell to try, but if you harbor any ill intentions, I’ll kill you immediately.”
“Suit yourself,” Ye Xuan said: “But if anything unexpected happens, I suggest you stay calm because without me, you’ll definitely die here, and you wouldn’t want to die together with me. If someone finds our bodies, they might think we were a couple and bury us together.”
“Pah–!!!” Hearing this, Hu Qian’er spat disdainfully and said, “Who would want to be buried with you?!”
“Alright, no more nonsense, listen carefully, this spell requires…” Ye Xuan didn’t bother to bicker with Hu Qian’er anymore and casually began to explain the techniques for casting the teleportation spell.
Hu Qian’er silently memorized it in her heart. After Ye Xuan repeated it once, she had almost remembered it.
It seems that she is not really that stupid…
“Alright, I have already taught you the essentials of this spell. Now, you try it.” Ye Xuan said.
Hearing this, Hu Qian’er, half-believing, began to circulate her qi, using it in place of spiritual power, forming it at her fingertips. The next moment, a striking green totem pattern rose from beneath Hu Qian’er’s feet. Then…
Ye Xuan and Hu Qian’er were teleported away. However, the next moment, they reappeared not far from where they started. Seeing the scene before her, Hu Qian’er was momentarily stunned, then her gaze fiercely turned towards Ye Xuan:
“You’re playing tricks on me–!! This spell is useless–!!!”
Looking around at the environment, Ye Xuan sighed and responded, “I understand now, it’s not that the spell is useless… rather, the effect of this spell is to transport people to this place.”
“Uh…” Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Hu Qian’er was taken aback.
So, this spell can only bring people here, but can’t send them away?! She can’t escape?!
“What a pity…”
——–
Watching Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er in the scene, all the disciples of the Jade Fox Palace shook their heads. Both Ye Xuan and Hu Qian’er had exceptional talents, and if someone could guide them, they definitely could have escaped from there. However, the two of them had no foundation in magical techniques, they could only use what others taught them.
That means, they were completely trapped in that deep, cold abyss. Unexpectedly, despite everything Ye Xuan had endured, all the trials and humiliations, he still failed to save Hu Qian’er. Everyone felt regret for such an outcome, but, it seemed, there really was no saving Ye Xuan and Hu Qian’er.
“No… they might still be saved.” At this moment, a male immortal from the Jade Fox Palace spoke up:
“Have you forgotten? That Lu Gu has already been captured by the people of Heavenly Mandate Pavilion. The matter of Ye Xuan and Hu Qian’er will surely be investigated soon. When the time comes, people from Heavenly Mandate Pavilion will naturally come to save them.” Everyone’s spirits were lifted.
“But… this cold abyss is unlike other places,” the female immortal said. “Here, even cultivators with slightly inferior cultivation will lose body heat rapidly, let alone these two martial artists. By the time people from Heavenly Mandate Pavilion handle the situation and come here to check, they might have already starved or frozen to death.”
With these words, everyone fell silent again.
