A luxurious and imposing sedan chair, surrounded by a gaggle of beautiful handmaidens, descended from the sky before landing on the ground with a thump.
A man was seated on the sedan chair. He waved his fan lazily and seductively while his enticing peach blossom-shaped eyes were filled with smiles. One could not help but drown in them, unable to leave!
“Zuo Shangchen?” When Gu Ruoyun turned around and saw the devastatingly beautiful face, she was shocked. “What are you doing here?”
“My Master had sent me here on business but I never thought that I’d see you here as well. After all, it’s no easy feat to get here.” There was a small smile on Zuo Shangchen’s lips. His peerless smile made the women around him feel inferior but his eyes remained fixed on Gu Ruoyun as he teased, “Xiao Yun’er, ever since we had parted ways at the Medicine Sect, we haven’t seen each other for so many years. Come, give me a hug, I’ve missed you to death.”
Gu Ruoyun’s expression turned dark. Despite not having seen him for many years, this fellow was still the same.
However…
Gu Ruoyun’s eyes flickered as she stared solemnly at the man’s seductive face.
There were only two ways to enter the Dark Earth Realm.
One way was to defeat the Three-Headed Hell Dragon but this was clearly impossible.
The second way was to break the seal and go through the hallucination test. Only then would one be able to enter the Dark Earth Realm.
However, she had needed to borrow Zixie’s power to break the seal and she had then passed the hallucination test through Mengmeng’s help. Therefore, what had Zuo Shangchen used to enter the Dark Earth Realm? He had even managed to bring his peerless handmaidens along with him…
“Brother Chen, who’s this woman?”
Suddenly, a lovely voice chimed in.
Gu Ruoyun turned around and saw a woman who was dressed in long pink robes walking towards Zuo Shangchen. She stared cautiously at Gu Ruoyun as if Gu Ruoyun was a love rival who would snatch her man away.
The seductive smile on Zuo Shangchen’s face disappeared instantly when he heard the woman’s voice and his knitted brows displayed a sense of annoyance. However, he did not say anything at all as he jumped up from the sedan chair and landed in front of Gu Ruoyun.
“Xiao Yun’er, I’ve been keeping something from you.” Zuo Shangchen let out an exasperated and bitter laugh. “I had kept this matter from you because I didn’t want you to worry but I can’t keep it from you any longer. Shengxiao, he… Is missing!”
Gu Ruoyun raised her brow as she stared puzzledly at Zuo Shangchen.
“Shengxiao had been whisked away from the West Spirit Mainland. I’ve been investigating for several years now and I’ve finally found out that he had been kidnapped by the Wen family. However, by the time I rushed to the Wen family, I found out that he had already escaped. After searching for a while, I found the Dark Earth Realm and I’ve also confirmed that he was at the Dark Earth Realm!”
Gu Shengxiao had indeed visited the Dark Earth Realm, the only thing was, Qianbei Ye had exchanged his own freedom for him.
“There’s no need for you to look here.” Gu Ruoyun shook her head as she calmly replied, “He’s no longer in the Dark Earth Realm.”
Zuo Shangchen was shocked before he frowned, “How do you know?”
“I’ve met him.” Gu Ruoyun lifted her head and looked at the man’s seductive smile in front of her as she said, “I had met my big brother not too long ago so I know that he’s no longer in the Dark Earth Realm.”
Hearing this, Zuo Shangchen, who had been living in a state of anxiety for the past few days, finally relaxed and sighed with relief. “If Gu Shengxiao is no longer in the Dark Earth Realm, I can relax. By the way, since you know that Gu Shengxiao is not in this Dark Earth Realm, why are you here?”
