Mo Bai left.
No one knew exactly where he had gone.
It was only after a month that he finally returned.
When he saw Mo Yan at that time, he just stared fixedly at him without saying a single word.
Apparently, the month - long search had yielded no results.
Mo Yan seemed to have aged dozens of years within that one month.
Seeing Mo Bai so distant, he finally sighed and said, "There's a huge stone pit where the Ghost Domain connects with the Mysterious Lake. Your mother is at the very bottom of that pit."
Mo Bai turned around and left.
The four guardians all looked at Mo Yan with worried expressions.
"Divine Throne, what about the Ghost Lord?"
"It's okay. This matter has been weighing on his mind for years. If it's not resolved, it may lead to a huge disaster in the future."
Qing Feng, Ming Yue, Cang Bai, and Bai Zhi. These four had been the four guardians of the Ghost Domain for a long time.
Their love for the Ghost Domain was even more intense than that of ordinary people.
"Divine Throne, Elder Xia has come to visit you again."
"Okay."
"Currently, she's waiting for you at the place where the Eight - Line Spell was once performed. However, this time, she's coming in a menacing manner. It seems she's not easy to deal with."
A frosty look appeared on Mo Yan's face.
"Go and meet her."
On the other side.
Mo Bai quickly reached the bottom of the huge pit.
There were piles of white bones there.
After all these years, even if he wanted to find Wanwan's body, it was impossible. It had long been eaten clean by the vultures patrolling in the sky.
He sat at the bottom of the pit.
He thought for a long time.
When he was about to get up, his hand touched something hard on the ground.
He lowered his head.
To his surprise, he saw a purple bead with a crack.
Mo Bai's blood instantly boiled.
He recognized this bead.
When he first saw Ning Ning, there were four beads hanging around her neck, and this purple one was one of them.
Because the bead was so small, one wouldn't notice it unless they were extremely careful.
After Mo Bai examined it carefully.
For a moment, his heart felt as dead as ashes.
If the purple Soul - Condensing Bead was found here, could Ning Ning's body still be alive?
Looking around, the pit was filled with piles of white bones.
Due to this new discovery, Mo Bai didn't leave. Instead, he carefully searched and investigated every corner of the pit.
He moved all the white bones aside.
A huge depression was found a bit to the left of the center.
Looking at the depression, it seemed like a huge keyhole.
After only a moment of hesitation.
Mo Bai selected several relatively stout bones from the white bones behind him. They should be the remains of fierce beasts from the Ancient Wilderness.
He polished them. It took about half a month to make a key.
The bones of fierce beasts were extremely hard. It took a great deal of effort to polish them.
Back then, Luo Qiu had remarkable strength, so he was able to quickly polish the key for the pit.
With a nervous heart.
Mo Bai inserted the bone - made key into the depression.
There was no reaction at all.
As he injected his spiritual power into it.
The huge key began to turn slowly.
"It's moving."
Mo Bai continued to exert force.
Finally, after turning it three full circles, he heard a clicking sound.
Mo Bai hadn't even reacted.
The stone slab beneath his feet suddenly opened, and he fell down without any warning.
Following that.
Black and stinky liquid gushed out.
Now that Mo Bai was the Ghost Lord of the Divine Sect, his abilities and self - control were much better than before.
After stabilizing his figure, he immediately used his power to seal his mouth, ears, eyes, and nose.
The cracked purple bead in Mo Bai's hand also began to shine brightly when it entered the black river.
Mo Bai was shocked.
He started to swim towards the direction where he felt the bead's aura.
After about an hour.
The purple bead became dim.
Mo Bai also swam to the shore.
What was this?
It was a small island. The island was extremely small. Neither Mo Bai nor anyone in the Ghost Domain had ever discovered this place before.
Strangely enough.
No one should have ever set foot on this island, and it was connected to the black river below. Such a place should have been extremely desolate.
However, this was not the case.
On the island.
There were singing birds and fragrant flowers. Although it was winter outside, on this island, butterflies fluttered around, and the trees were lush.
He walked deeper into the island.
The branches were lush, and the tree roots were intertwined in a complex way.
If a careful person took a closer look, they would surely find that on this island, the branches were lush, and the tree roots were intertwined.
The whole island was full of greenery and vitality.
In fact.
There was only one ancient tree on the entire island.
This ancient tree had survived for thousands of years.
The tree roots of the big tree kept extending, coiling, and new saplings grew. The saplings grew up, and the roots coiled again.
Over time, it formed the spectacular sight of one tree becoming a forest.
Mo Bai followed the tree roots and walked forward.
Because this ancient tree was very old, its height was also quite remarkable.
Mo Bai searched the whole island but didn't find anything amiss.
He sneered at himself in his heart.
He even didn't understand why he had spent so much time coming to this small island on the black river.
Just as he was about to leave.
A trace of doubt suddenly flashed through his mind.
He flew up.
His whole body was suspended right above the island.
It was just because of this glance that he discovered an extremely hidden whirlpool.
The whirlpool was formed by the leaves of thousands of big trees.
When he was walking on the island before, everywhere he went was covered by the thick shadows of the green leaves.
Such a strange sight easily made people overlook what kind of different scenery there would be above the leaves.
Mo Bai flew towards the dark - green whirlpool.
There was a faint blue light emitting from inside.
Just as he was about to push aside the layers of leaves to take a look inside.
A cyan figure suddenly appeared on this island.
Mo Bai's hand was bounced back by a powerful force before it even touched the green leaves.
He looked up.
Sure enough, it was Yan Ruyu.
"Yan Ruyu."
"You?"
Apparently, Yan Ruyu was also surprised to see Mo Bai in front of him.
Mo Bai asked, "What are you doing here?"
Yan Ruyu asked, "Did you activate this formation?"
"What does it matter to you?"
Yan Ruyu stretched out his hand. In an instant, the purple Soul - Condensing Bead in Mo Bai's hand was in his.
"Yan Ruyu, you've made an alliance with the Ghost Domain. How can you break in without permission now?"
Yan Ruyu didn't say a word.
He stared at the Soul - Condensing Bead in his hand and fell into deep thought.
Then he dived down.
Just two hours ago, when he was far away in the Qingyun Kingdom, he suddenly felt a trace of Ning'er's aura. Following that trace of aura, he immediately mobilized all his spiritual power and flew here quickly.
So.
The central whirlpool that emitted the faint blue light.
That should be where Ning'er's body was!
