However, all of that had changed because of that woman!
It must be because this woman shares some similar features with the Madam! Otherwise, why would the Grand Lord protect her so fiercely? Furthermore, how could I have lost the Grand Lord's trust?
Because of this, she must die!
...
"Strange, why is there nothing in this cave? That can't be right!"
After Jiang Mozhu and the others have stayed back, the rest had pressed forward once again. However, they have already reached the end of the cave and there was nothing in the empty cave at all.
Old Man Jiang furrowed his brows, unable to comprehend what had gone wrong.
"Old Man Jiang, are you sure that you didn't make a mistake? Is this mountain cave really connected to the Divine Weapon?"
A hint of skepticism flashed through Lan Shao's eyes.
Even though he wishes to kill Gu Ruoyun, he still has some degree of respect towards Old Man Jiang. Regardless, this old man was a cultivator on the same level as his father. Since his father was not here, he would never think of crossing these two old fellows.
"I can confirm that the Divine Weapon must be inside this cave."
Old Man Jiang fell silent for a moment before he replied with certainty.
"Since that's the case, where is the Divine Weapon? There's nothing in this cave, what more a Divine Weapon. We can't even find an average weapon in here." Lan Shao was a getting little impatient.
If he had known this earlier, he would not have tagged along with this bunch and would have gone to find the Divine Weapon's whereabouts himself.
"What's that?"
Bai Yin suddenly noticed a button on the rock wall and automatically reached out to press it.
"Stop!"
Gu Ruoyun's face changed when she saw Bai Yin's action. She was about to stop her but it was too late...
Hong!
Hong, hong, hong!
The entire mountain cave shook and gravel began to roll down from the rock walls. The crowd could feel continuous tremors from the ground as they began to sink down.
"Not good, the cave is about to collapse!"
Old Man Jiang's elderly features suddenly lost its color as he cried out anxiously, "Zhu'er is still outside!"
Damn it!
He had known from the start that there would be great danger here yet he never expected the mountain cave to collapse immediately! However, he was now a distance away from Jiang Mozhu and there was no way for him to save his grandson.
Gu Ruoyun has slowly returned to her senses. "Old Man Jiang," she said with a cold look in her eyes, "The collapse is only occuring in our vicinity so Jiang Mozhu should be safe where he is. You must all hurry and run immediately. I can sense a powerful existence beneath the mountain cave! If we're too late, I'm afraid that we might not survive."
"No, I've told you earlier on that I will protect you. If we're escaping, I must take you along with me. I have always followed through with my promises and I won't break my promise to another."
"There's no time."
Gu Ruoyun's eyes sharpened. Suddenly, without any warning, she threw her fist at Old Man Jiang and Old Man Gu.
"All of you hurry, run!"
Hong!
The two old men were violently flung out of the way by the powerful force of this fist.
As the cave collapsed, a patch of dark blue sky appeared above everyone's heads.
They never thought that Gu Ruoyun would suddenly attack them turned to stare at her in shock.
When they turned towards her, they were almost frightened into a heart attack.
What they could see was that the area they had been on which was originally covered by rolling gravel was now filled with lava and was emitting red bubbles continuously. At the heart of the lava was a huge dragon who was spitting fire with its bloody mouth open like a sacrificial bowl. Its grim eyes were staring fixatedly at the humans above.
"Gu girl!"
Old Man Jiang's expression turned as white as a sheet when he stared at Gu Ruoyun who had fallen into the lava. "Get back here quickly!" he cried out anxiously.
