"Master, I just used my spiritual sense to probe downwards. There's a barrier, and my spiritual sense can't penetrate it." Xiaojin also looked rather distressed.
He never expected such a change in the situation.
Logically speaking, since they had already entered the Black Tower, there shouldn't have been such a strange whirlwind.
But it just appeared so strangely and separated the master and the lord.
"Master, could it be that there's something on this third floor that's not meant for the lord to know?" Xiaojin guessed.
Feng Yuqin's voice was filled with intense worry. "He shouldn't be in any danger, right?"
"The lord is very powerful. Ordinary dangers can't threaten him." Xiaojin said. "It should be fine. Master can first see if there's a way out, or if there's anything inside that makes you feel very different."
Feng Yuqin tried hard to calm herself down and tried not to think about whether Mo Xuanye was in danger at this moment.
She had to leave here as soon as possible to determine whether Mo Xuanye was in danger.
Just as she was thinking this, a voice rang out. "He won't be in danger."
"Who's there?" Feng Yuqin scanned the surroundings warily.
She wanted to find out where that voice was coming from.
But no matter how hard she searched, she didn't find anyone on this third floor.
"Master, there's no aura of a living person here." Xiaojin said to Feng Yuqin after a quick scan.
Feng Yuqin frowned slightly and said, "Xiaojin, we have to find the exit quickly."
Xiaojin also thought so, so the two of them started looking for the exit.
However, they soon found that the Black Tower was much bigger than they had imagined.
"Master, this is really too strange." Xiaojin said. "Logically speaking, the Black Tower shouldn't be this big. But we've been wandering around inside for so long and still haven't finished exploring it."
Feng Yuqin said, "There were quite a few treasures on the first floor, but there's nothing here, and there's no exit either."
This made them both feel very strange.
Xiaojin was actually a bit worried.
After all, they couldn't be trapped inside forever.
So his mood began to turn a bit anxious.
Feng Yuqin said, "Don't be anxious. We won't be trapped here forever."
After being comforted, Xiaojin's mood finally eased a bit.
This third floor consisted of rooms, passages, and several large halls.
After almost exploring the entire place, Feng Yuqin focused her attention on one of the halls.
"Xiaojin, don't you think there's something wrong with the right - hand hall we visited before?" Feng Yuqin said.
Xiaojin looked blank and shook his head. "Master, I only feel that there's nothing here. There aren't even any treasures that interest me."
Feng Yuqin knew that Xiaojin was very interested in treasures, so if he didn't sense any, there were two possibilities.
The first was that there really weren't any treasures here.
The second was that there was some powerful formation or a treasure with a barrier hiding them.
After pondering for a while, Feng Yuqin felt that the second possibility was more likely.
If there was really nothing here, why did she feel such a strong pull?
That pull that was closely related to her life couldn't be fake.
Since Xiaojin didn't feel anything, she had to rely on herself.
Thinking this way, Feng Yuqin retraced her steps back to the right - most hall among the previous ones.
When she stood inside the hall and carefully felt around, the frontmost pillar finally gave her some reaction.
She took a step forward, and Xiaojin followed beside her, his eyes also fixed on the pillar.
"Master, is there something wrong with this pillar?" Xiaojin asked while looking at the other pillars.
Feng Yuqin reached out and placed her hand on the pillar, slowly injecting her soul power into it.
Boom!
A powerful impact instantly rushed towards Feng Yuqin.
Xiaojin and Feng Yuqin were already prepared, so when that force came, they quickly dodged.
There were many pillars in this hall, so when the force in this pillar erupted, it just happened to blast one of the opposite pillars off.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At the moment when the pillar collapsed, Feng Yuqin felt as if the Black Tower was about to collapse.
Thankfully, only that pillar collapsed, and there were no other problems.
"Master, it seems that soul power shouldn't be injected into that pillar." Xiaojin concluded after seeing the pile of broken debris on the ground.
Feng Yuqin nodded. "But I think we've explored this third floor thoroughly. The only thing that gave me a bit of a feeling was that pillar."
"Shall we study it further?" Xiaojin said.
"How do you think we should study it?" Feng Yuqin looked at Xiaojin and asked.
Xiaojin raised his paw and rubbed his small head. His cute and silly look instantly made Feng Yuqin laugh.
She scanned the other pillars and then fixed her eyes on the pillar that had erupted with power before. "There's a pattern on it. I'll first see what's different about this pattern compared to the others."
Xiaojin nodded and stepped forward to study the pattern on the pillar with Feng Yuqin.
Then they compared it with the patterns on several other pillars.
After the comparison, Feng Yuqin finally found a slight difference. "Look, isn't this different from the others?"
Xiaojin stared at the pattern that Feng Yuqin was pointing at. The more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.
After a while, Xiaojin said in surprise, "Why do I think this pattern looks a bit like Xiaoying's eyes?"
Feng Yuqin nodded. "Yes, I have the same feeling."
"Could it be related to the phoenix?" Xiaojin frowned and said. "Xiaoying is a phoenix and should belong to the Phoenix Clan. But apart from this pattern looking very similar to Xiaoying's eyes, there's nothing else here that seems related to the Phoenix Clan."
"You're not familiar with the Phoenix Clan. How do you know it has nothing to do with them?" Feng Yuqin asked with a smile.
Xiaojin said, "It's just a feeling. But I think the breakthrough point might be here."
Feng Yuqin nodded. "It's just that we don't know what the secret of this pattern is."
"Master, I can't see any secret either." Xiaojin said. "But I know that if we can't solve this, it will be more difficult for us to get out."
Feng Yuqin also understood this truth. She started to study this pattern again.
It was precisely because she kept staring at this pattern that she found it was changing.
Xiaojin was also beside her. Seeing this, he said in surprise, "Why do I feel that this pattern is slowly protruding?"
Previously, this pattern was at the same height as the others.
But as Feng Yuqin rubbed this pattern, it was slowly rising.
It was like the land was flat, and a small seedling was sprouting from the place of this pattern.
