Gu Rongxue looked at Zhong Fengyue, a faint look of gratitude glinting in her eyes.
"Whether it's made of gold or silver, we should see its value!" Suddenly, someone below broke the silence.
Once someone took the lead, the others quickly came to their senses and followed suit to assert their rights.
"That's right! Show us its value!"
"The Golden Jade Tree, where exactly does its value lie!"
...
The people below were so excited that they were almost about to rush onto the platform. Su Xiaoliu watched this intense situation with great unease in her heart.
She searched everywhere for the figure of the alliance leader. Suddenly, she saw the alliance leader standing quietly not far away. He just watched all this, his brows slightly furrowed, but he didn't seem to intend to step forward to stop it.
The reaction of Elder Tong, the sect leader beside him, was quite different from that of the alliance leader. He was eager to rush onto the platform immediately to calm down the excited crowd. Mu Lianyi and Chong Xiao beside him were looking at the people below nervously, afraid that they would surround them the next second.
Not far away, Island Master Tang, Elder Wei, as well as Tang Yuyan and Wei Feng standing behind them, all watched calmly. As long as the alliance leader didn't move, they wouldn't move either.
Seeing that someone was about to fly onto the platform, Su Xiaoliu excitedly stood up all of a sudden. Unexpectedly, she suddenly stepped on empty air under her feet, and her body sank. Almost in an instant, her vision went black...
She felt her whole body was falling. The wind roared in her ears, and some debris kept falling, hitting her face painfully.
What's going on? Su Xiaoliu widened her almond - shaped eyes.
When everyone above saw Su Xiaoliu sink, they all stopped their actions. Suddenly, the platform above began to shake violently.
Zhong Fengyue glanced at the big hole where Su Xiaoliu had fallen with a sidelong look, gave a soft chuckle, tapped his foot gently, left his seat, and stood in a safe place. He calmly watched the platform that was about to collapse the next second with an air of superiority.
The moment Gu Rongxue saw Su Xiaoliu fall, she suddenly stood up. Her beautiful eyes turned cold, and she flew down.
The table with the Golden Jade Tree and the Heavenly Gift Sword sank below the moment Zhong Fengyue just flew away. The moment Zhong Fengyue saw the Heavenly Gift Sword fall, his dark eyes flashed under his white - veiled hat.
When everyone saw the two precious treasures fall at the same time, there was an immediate outcry.
The alliance leader suddenly flew into the air. His green robe fluttered gracefully in the wind. He gave a cold laugh and then flew into the hole where Su Xiaoliu had sunk.
When Elder Tong saw the alliance leader go down, he sighed and then flew onto the platform and jumped into the hole from which things were constantly falling.
Mu Lianyi and Chong Xiao were startled. Mu Lianyi reached out but failed to hold her master. She hurriedly said, "Master!"
"Let's go down first!" Chong Xiao shook her head, grabbed Mu Lianyi's clothes, and said.
The two looked at each other, gathered their inner energy under their feet, and then flew into the hole on the platform.
Needless to say, Island Master Tang and Elder Wei also set off as soon as the alliance leader left. Tang Yuyan put her hand on Wei Feng's. Wei Feng held her hand tightly, gently wrapped his arm around her slender waist, and the two flew down together following the two elders.
Zhong Fengyue stood high up with a faint smile on his face, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him. The gentle breeze blew up his clothes, making a soft tinkling sound of silver bells, and his black hair fluttered.
Suddenly, a shiny object caught his attention. He was stunned for a moment, flew down, and reached out to pick it up...
It was a silver hairpin carved with exquisite patterns. This silver hairpin...
Zhong Fengyue looked at the hole on the platform in surprise. He tightly grasped the silver hairpin until his knuckles turned white. First, he showed a look of joy, then anger, and finally he laughed out of anger. He curled his lips and coldly said, "What a fateful enemy!" Then, he stood up and flew into the hole.
The platform that had been shaking for a long time finally stopped shaking. Everyone below the platform stared blankly at the empty platform.
Today... Is it a good day for jumping into holes? Why are they all...
Su Xiaoliu felt that just as she was about to hit the ground, suddenly a figure flashed by, grabbed her, and pinched her neck.
Su Xiaoliu widened her almond - shaped eyes. The hand on her neck was tightening little by little, as if it was going to take her life the next second.
This place seemed to be an underground cave. Every now and then, there was a candle lamp hanging on the earth - yellow cave wall. The stalactites were constantly dripping water, making a terrifying echo in the empty cave. The dark surroundings were illuminated by the dim candle lamps. Su Xiaoliu had no intention of observing these. She tried hard to speak, but all that came out of her mouth were "um - um" sounds.
Was she really going to die here? Her father and her three step - mothers didn't even know how she was now. Her second sister and second brother - in - law thought that she had been living a peaceful life after getting married. She wished so much that there had never been that deal. If she could go back, she would be willing to live in the old temple for the rest of her life and would never complain about being poor again! Because no amount of money could be more valuable than a life.
Su Xiaoliu closed her eyes desperately. She missed her father...
"Ghost King Nie!" Suddenly, a nice voice came, like a reincarnated Buddha, giving Su Xiaoliu a glimmer of hope.
Gu Rongxue in a gorgeous purple robe that trailed on the ground looked at the person who was holding Su Xiaoliu with a cold smile.
Ghost King Nie? Was he the green - eyed man who almost took her life at the banquet last time?
The force on her neck loosened a little, and the hoarse voice above her head slowly sounded.
"She's not Yun Ruo."
Su Xiaoliu was startled, but she didn't have time to think much. She looked at Gu Rongxue pleadingly. Gu Rongxue tightened his thin lips and coldly said, "Ghost King Nie, if you don't let her go, I'll come and take her."
Ghost King Nie let out a hoarse laugh. Immediately afterwards, slow but loud applause came from the empty cave.
"Good, very good." A dark figure slowly walked out of the darkness. It wasn't until the candlelight illuminated the face hidden in the darkness that a cold and emotionless face was revealed. The merciless smile on the corner of his mouth sent chills down one's spine. "I didn't expect that Mr. Qiongxue, who is always calm and composed, would also resort to 'snatching'."
"Nie Jing!" When the alliance leader who had just come down saw Ghost King Nie tightly holding Su Xiaoliu, he frowned and coldly shouted. His eyes suddenly swept to the brown - robed man beside him, and he coldly said again, "Guardian Wang, what are you doing here?"
The brown - robed man seemed not to expect the alliance leader to appear. His expression froze for a moment, and he quickly lowered his head and said, "Alliance leader..."
"The two precious treasures just fell like this, Leader Zuo. You, you... You really don't feel any heartache at all!" Elder Tong, who had just landed from above and stood firm, walked over in a hurry and anger, constantly sighing.
"Master!" Mu Lianyi and Chong Xiao, the two female disciples who followed and landed, hurriedly said and rushed over to follow their master.
The alliance leader frowned. Suddenly, he remembered the Golden Jade Tree and the Heavenly Gift Sword that had accidentally fallen together. He looked at Wang Chengyang. Just as he was about to speak, another voice rang out from the empty cave.
"I'm really sorry. The treasures are all with me." A middle - aged man in a black robe walked out. The middle - aged man's temples were as white as snow, and his steps were steady with a hidden aura in them.
