Chapter 1360: Chapter 1360: Woman
Qin Yi used all his strength to move the protruding rock, his eyes bulging, without any regard for answering.
"In life, we share the same cover; in death, we rest in the same grave! Qin Yi...no regrets!"
Those words of no regrets caused Su Pan’er to swallow back whatever more she had wanted to persuade him with.
She closed her eyes, calmed her heart, and also bent over to forcefully tug at the broken stones.
"Qin Yi, listen to me! The mechanism that controls the Formation of Shifting Stars and Changing Movements is at the two pillars at the mountain gate. If you can find the mechanism there and reverse it, I will be able to escape this trap! Whether you can find that mechanism or not, whether you can save the soldiers trapped within Valley of Ghosts, it’s up to you now!"
"You—you’re lying to me!"
Watching the raging floodwaters approaching, Qin Yi looked into Su Pan’er’s eyes, utterly disbelieving her words.
"Qin Yi, do you still not know what I’m capable of? Would I lie to you about something that involves the life and death of countless people?"
Su Pan’er, due to the pain, had beads of sweat covering her forehead.
Qin Yi looked up at the two groups of fighters.
Liao Jue and Liao Chen seemed unaware of the incoming floodwaters, fighting and retreating toward the depths of the cave.
And Ning Wenxuan, like he had gone mad, was still standing in the same spot, laughing hysterically with Mrs. Ning’s corpse in his arms, letting the floodwaters slowly submerge his feet, his lower legs, the water level rising higher... heading towards where Su Pan’er and he were.
"Qin Yi, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the flood to cover our eyes? Hurry!"
Su Pan’er shouted.
Qin Yi clenched his teeth forcefully and nodded resolutely: "Alright!"
He took a deep look at Su Pan’er and, determined, he turned and shot out of the cave, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Tears glistened in Su Pan’er’s eyes.
When she had entered, she had carefully examined the array formation here, and her mind displayed numerous plans and three-dimensional patterns. After careful analysis and understanding these formations, she determined that the heart of the array formation was located above the stone pillars.
As for whether Qin Yi was fast enough to find it within the limited time, she left it all to Divine Will!
The water level inside the cave continued to rise, quickly reaching Su Pan’er’s feet.
The water level rose inch by inch, but what made Su Pan’er most anxious wasn’t that, but rather the cave that was quietly narrowing, much to her surprise!
Unbeknownst to when it happened, the once vast and expansive cave had drastically changed, apart from the spreading water level, the movement of the cave walls created a complex labyrinth of walls, cutting the huge cave into countless smaller caverns. But the water level kept rising, quickly reaching Su Pan’er’s thighs, her chest, climbing over her shoulders, threatening to cover her mouth.
Su Pan’er looked towards the direction of the cave entrance and, against all odds, began to smile.
That’s fine!
At least one of Qin Yi and her would survive.
That was enough!
Meanwhile, the paths in Valley of Ghosts had already changed beyond recognition.
The original stone steps were gone, the original cliffs gone, and the original caves were gone too. In their place were new paths, new cliffs, and new caves—interlocking and crisscrossing into chaos!
Both sides were frenzied in battle, the clash intensifying as if it were a matter of life and death, with heavy casualties.
Little Yanyan was being carried out by an elite guard, rushing for safety.
The First Princess was dearly loved by His Majesty and the Empress; if something happened to her, those around her would ultimately not escape death! These elite guards, determined to carve a bloody path, would do anything to bring her to safety.
Little Yanyan bit her lip, tightly hugging the elite guard’s neck, enduring every bump and scrape without a peep, for fear of slowing them down any further.
However, the followers of Ghost Valley did not relent in their attempts to defeat the group, coming at them relentlessly.
But before long, they noticed a problem. Although the group zigzagged desperately along the paths, they seemed to be running in circles, seemingly trapped in the same place.
"Look! Those corpses!"
A scout pointed to several bodies nearby, "We just passed here!"
Everyone’s faces looked grim.
Even Cao Imperial Historian, who was following Little Yanyan, changed his complexion, "Let’s go! Let’s keep moving and see."
As they fought their way through, when they took a break again, they realized they had returned to the very spot with those corpses.
"Lord, it seems we are lost, what should we do?"
Running with Little Yanyan were Lord Cao and several other officials, each of them exhausted and weary from their desperate escape.
Hearing that they were lost, they all turned their gazes toward Lord Cao.
Cao Imperial Historian inwardly smiled bitterly; he didn’t understand formations, what could he possibly do?
"Let the scout split up and explore the paths, see if they can find a way out!"
The scouts were dispatched on their mission.
Cao Imperial Historian and the other officials gathered together, looking around, completely unable to distinguish where they were.
Little Yanyan also got off from the elite guard who was carrying her and surveyed her surroundings with a tense little face.
"First Princess..."
"Lord Cao..."
Both spoke at the same time, then stopped at the same time.
Little Yanyan bit her lip, tears swirling in her eyes, yet stubbornly refusing to cry, "It’s my fault. If it hadn’t been for my insistence on leaving the palace to visit my great grandfather’s home, I wouldn’t have caused everyone trouble. It’s all my fault..."
"How can you speak of trouble when the First Princess shows such filial piety?"
No matter how much Cao Imperial Historian thought the First Princess was trouble, he wouldn’t say it now. Instead, he comforted her, "Don’t worry, let’s wait a bit longer! Maybe we’ll be able to get out soon."
"I hope so..."
Little Yanyan’s eyes dimmed.
Before long, the scouts began to return one after another, each bearing various injuries, casting an even more somber light in everyone’s eyes. They waited, and while no one spoke it aloud, they all understood – the scouts who hadn’t returned would likely never come back.
"Which way should we go now?"
Although they didn’t know why no one had attacked them at that moment, the longer they stayed on the territory of the Valley of Ghosts, the more dangerous it became.
Naturally, everyone was eager to leave immediately.
But which way to go? As everyone exchanged glances, no one spoke up.
Just as everyone remained silent, Little Yanyan suddenly stood up and listened intently, "Do you hear a dog barking?"
In their frantic escape, she hadn’t even noticed when the dog had gone missing.
Hearing the dog’s bark now, it was no wonder she was so concerned.
"No, there’s no dog... barking..."
Cao Imperial Historian hadn’t even finished speaking when another bark echoed. The next moment, the dog leaped twice and suddenly appeared before everyone.
"Doggy! It really is you! I thought, I thought you had been killed by them. You’re still alive, that’s great!"
Little Yanyan was overjoyed, rushing forward to embrace the dog.
The dog barked a few times as well, struggled out of Little Yanyan’s arms, and darted off. As everyone wondered, the dog came back.
And with it, there was another person. A woman!
