Going in now is actually not very dangerous.
Since we have already come this far, we may as well go in and take a look. " "If you want to die, no one will accompany you! " Qi Jiuyi gave a cold snort and said to Long Qilin, "Second Brother, come aboard. There is no need to make trouble along with him! " Long Qilin hesitated and asked quietly, "Cult Master, will that Lord of Heaven spirit fetus really not recover?
" Shen Mu nodded. Long Qilin let out a breath and smiled. "Third Brother, you stay aboard. I will accompany the Cult Master on this trip. " Qi Jiuyi's face turned ashen. He leaped down from the Phoenix Ship and said over his shoulder, "The strongest few of you, come down with me.
The rest stay aboard and wait, ready to support us at any moment!
" Shen Mu shook his head. "Sister Yan'er is a being of the Lingxiao realm.
Having her at my side is enough; there is no need to trouble anyone else. " Qi Jiuyi's face darkened.
Ignoring him, he said to the nine deities who had come down, "Once we are in the ruins, even if I run into danger, you are not to save me.
Your only task is to protect my Second Brother. No matter what, he must not be harmed!
Understand? " The nine deities assented and praised him. "The Young Master's righteousness reaches the heavens!
" Qi Jiuyi ground his teeth and thought, "Righteousness reaching the heavens? What nonsense.
I am only afraid that if Second Brother dies, I will be buried with him! " Shen Mu laughed heartily. "Brother Qi is most noble. In that case, let us go down.
" Yan'er alighted on his shoulder.
The others followed behind him, while the nine deities spread out around Long Qilin, keeping strict watch. Shen Mu descended from the sky.
Before he even landed, he opened the map again and compared it.
The marked location on the map was right of center on this continent. They were already not far from that marked spot.
"Do not fly over there! " Qi Jiuyi came swiftly to his side and said coldly, "We do not know whether there are other dangers here.
Keeping our feet on solid ground is better than being a target in the air—easier to dodge and to strike.
" Shen Mu praised him.
"Brother Qi is rich in experience. " Qi Jiuyi snorted and said blandly, "I studied under the Red Emperor and the Black Emperor, so of course I am rich in experience—unlike you, who are merely an untrained wild path. Once we are in the ruins, you will do exactly as I say!
" Shen Mu laughed heartily and landed on an exceedingly ancient structure among the ruins below.
Qi Jiuyi followed close behind, descending after him, peering cautiously in all directions, deeply anxious. Suddenly Yan'er popped a spirit pill into his mouth. Qi Jiuyi was about to spit it out, but it tasted rather good, so he swallowed it.
Yan'er made to feed him another, and Qi Jiuyi said hurriedly, "Sister Yan'er, I do not eat these.
" Yan'er laughed.
"I fed your master Qi Xiayu too.
When she was little she loved it when I fed her, and she would always chatter and follow at my heels calling me sister.
" "You fed my master?
" Qi Jiuyi's face darkened, and he thought, "Then should I call her Sister Yan'er or Auntie? " Shen Mu surveyed his surroundings, then suddenly leaped down from the grand structure and landed on the ground. Qi Jiuyi hurriedly stopped Long Qilin.
"Second Brother, do not go down yet.
Wait until that fellow Shen is not dead, then we go down.
.
. All right, let us go down.
" Shen Mu closed his eyes and tried to enter a dream, then opened them again, revealing astonishment.
He could not rouse the Infinite Kalpa Sutra to transform into a world within a dream.
