"Ah..."
When everyone looked up towards the cliff, their expressions changed.
At this moment, they saw Young Lady Yaoyao suddenly jumping off the cliff.
"Yaoyao, stop immediately!"
Yang Tian yelled, rushing up quickly, but by the time he reached the edge of the cliff, Young Lady Yaoyao's figure had already disappeared into the thick blanket of white fog below.
Suddenly, everything around turned eerily silent, as if nothing had ever happened.
But Yang Tian stood there, frozen.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Is this still the Young Lady Yaoyao he knew?
Why did she suddenly, without a word, jump off the cliff?
"Big brother, I want sister..."
Wang Yue's face was pale, she held Yang Tian's hand tightly, unable to accept that Little Fox had actually jumped off the cliff.
Yang Tian operated his Divine Sense, probing down the cliff.
In the dense fog below, Young Lady Yaoyao's figure had long vanished, even her Spirit Breath Wave had disappeared without a trace.
"Yaoyao, why did you do this?"
Yang Tian slowly sat down on the ground, his eyes somewhat vacant.
"Did Yaoyao do this because of the curse? The curse clung to her, and she felt the pain of that peerless beauty, so she chose death to end it all!"
Wang Ying said.
"Possible!" Ling Ying nodded: "It's the only plausible explanation!"
"But who exactly is this peerless beauty? Why is she connected to Yaoyao? Why did even the Guardian of the continent change his expression upon seeing her?"
Wang Ying asked.
But there was no answer.
Yang Tian sat there, saying nothing, but quietly looking down at the Spirit Lake below the cliff. Suddenly, he stood up: "Let's go down and find her!"
"Go down?"
Wang Ying was shocked.
"That's right, go down!"
Yang Tian nodded, then crafted several Lighting Spirit Talismans, using them on everyone. They walked down a steep, narrow path towards the bottom of the cliff.
The descent took a full two hours.
When everyone reached the bottom, they found it filled with bushes, these bushes were as high as three people and impassable, but they used the Gale Divine Talisman to float above it, crossing the tangled shrubs, they found a marsh.
The surroundings were deadly silent, with no Spirit Breath waves whatsoever.
Here, it seemed as if no living creature existed, even the bushes seemed aged beyond measure, filled with darkness and desolation.
Yang Tian operated his Divine Sense and led everyone floating forward.
Crossing the marsh, they came to a stretch of grassland.
Seeing this grassland, everyone was puzzled, how from above the cliff they saw the dense fog of Spirit Lake, but upon reaching here, they found such a vast stretch of grassland?
From start to finish, Yang Tian remained silent, so no one asked any questions aloud.
And Yang Tian floated forward, continuously using his Divine Sense to probe around.
He was searching for Young Lady Yaoyao's presence.
His mind was filled with the moment Young Lady Yaoyao jumped off the cliff, Yang Tian felt a pang of emptiness, suddenly recalling a phrase Young Lady Yaoyao had said to him before the incident, "Yang, if one day I changed, would you still care for me."
Such a phrase deeply lingered in Yang Tian's mind.
He increasingly felt that Young Lady Yaoyao jumping off the cliff was definitely not merely for seeking death.
The peerless beauty harbored great resentment before her death, logically, Young Lady Yaoyao should be avenging the peerless beauty, not inexplicably jumping off a cliff.
So, was it because she couldn't bear the pain of the curse, that she wanted to end her life?
But Yang Tian knew Young Lady Yaoyao's character; if she couldn't truly bear this pain, she wouldn't tear up his Divine Talisman, nor would she jump off the cliff privately. Instead, she should have discussed it with Yang Tian.
For Young Lady Yaoyao to privately tear up the Serenity Divine Talisman, it was highly possible that the curse allowed her to know the past happenings of the peerless beauty.
Thinking of this, Yang Tian grew even more puzzled.
He only hoped that Young Lady Yaoyao was still alive after jumping down, if not he would never forgive himself!
"Who are you?"
At this moment, a shout came from the grass ahead.
Yang Tian looked up and saw several men and women in the grass ahead, these people were here to search for Magical Treasures. Seeing Yang Tian and the others, their expressions changed, and they shouted at them, "Why is it you again? Why don't you search for Magical Treasures elsewhere, what are you doing here? Let me tell you, the Magical Treasures in this Spirit Lake are ours!"
Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.
Could it be that all these people staying here are just waiting for the appearance of the magical treasure?
Not only here, but in the patches of grass as well, everyone quickly discovered other men and women.
These men and women haven't gone elsewhere, they're all staying here, all waiting for the magical treasure?
"Big brother, I want to know, what on earth are they waiting for?"
Wang Yue asked softly.
Yang Tian shook his head, unconcerned about this.
He was most concerned about the safety of Young Lady Yaoyao; before finding her, all magical treasures were insignificant.
He operated his Divine Sense, probing around.
Within this patch of grass, there were about a hundred people, with more than half gathered here, waiting for some kind of magical treasure to emerge.
Yang Tian operated his Divine Sense, probing towards the Spirit Lake.
Suddenly, he felt a strong Spiritual Breath float up from the Spirit Lake, forming a brilliant radiance, crackling as it blasted in all directions. After this Spiritual Breath emerged, Yang Tian suddenly said, "This is a Martial Spirit Level treasure!"
"A Martial Spirit Level treasure?"
Wang Yue was shocked, frozen in place.
And everyone around was in an uproar.
"A Martial Spirit Level treasure? My gosh! The highest level we've seen so far is the Human Dao Spirit Sword Yang Tian got before, we didn't expect there would be a Martial Spirit Treasure here, this is great, our wait wasn't in vain!"
"Once the treasure emerges, we'll move immediately to snatch it, whoever grabs it gets it, obtaining it can change one's fate!"
The crowd was intensely discussing, all ready.
"The emergence of this treasure will take at least several days and nights..."
Yang Tian operated his Divine Sense, probing above the Spirit Lake.
But in no time, he said again, "Someone is operating Spiritual Breath, reinforcing the treasure!"
"What?"
Everyone was shocked.
Next, a loud roaring sound was heard, the entire Spirit Lake was boiling, and in the center, layers of mist formed a light pillar as a Blood Axe slowly floated up from the Spirit Lake.
Upon its emergence, a sacred Spiritual Breath pressed in all directions.
Everyone involuntarily knelt down on the ground.
Yang Tian also felt a sacred Spiritual Breath forcing him, as if trying to make him kneel. He blocked it with his Spiritual Breath and looked towards the Spirit Lake, vaguely seeing a figure.
This figure floated above the Spirit Lake, like a fairy scooping the moon, grasping that Blood Axe.
Soon, Yang Tian found that this figure seemed familiar.
He focused his gaze, seeing this was a woman!
"Yaoyao?" Suddenly, Yang Tian's face lit up with joy, he flew towards the top of the Spirit Lake, calling out, "Yaoyao, is that you?"
But before he reached the Spirit Lake, a massive Spiritual Breath fiercely attacked him from the woman's body.
Yang Tian frowned, sensing something was wrong.
Because he was too familiar with Young Lady Yaoyao; her Spiritual Breath could never be this powerful.
Yang Tian looked ahead, seeing the woman only pushed him back without pursuing him.
Moreover, from beginning to end, Young Lady Yaoyao never turned back, always looking at the Blood Axe above the Spirit Lake.
Swish!
Yang Tian's form flickered, arriving on the opposite side of the Spirit Lake. From this angle, he could clearly see the woman's face.
And upon seeing the woman's face, Yang Tian was suddenly shocked, frozen in place.
Indeed, it was Young Lady Yaoyao!
"Yaoyao, you really aren't dead!"
Yang Tian's face was filled with excitement as he rushed over.
But before he could reach the woman, he felt a strong and sacred aura emerge from her body, pressing fiercely towards him. This Spiritual Breath was very familiar, Yang Tian was stunned for a moment, then realized immediately: This Spiritual Breath was from the peerless beauty in the ice crystal coffin!
But how could this Spiritual Breath be in Young Lady Yaoyao's body?
What on earth is going on?
And at this time, the "Young Lady Yaoyao" in front suddenly said coldly, "I am not called Yaoyao; if you dare come forward to interfere with my refining of the Martial Spirit Treasure, I will make you die here!"
"You are not called Yaoyao?"
Yang Tian was shocked, falling to the ground...
