Chapter 443 You are finally back
Ye Qingshuang glanced at Ling Yi, then looked at the Emperor: "Whether he can be saved or not, we'll know once we see him."
Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately looked at Xuan Yang and Xuan Wei and said, "Take them to see Meng'er."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xuanwei and Xuanyang looked at Ling Yi and the others: "Come with us."
Ling Yi and the others said nothing more and followed the two away. The emperor and empress stood there, watching them enter the palace, their eyes full of prayer, hoping they could really save Meng'er.
After Ling Yi and the others followed the two into the hall, they looked around but didn't see anyone. Just as they were about to ask, they saw Xuan Yang walk quickly to a wall, raise his hand and press it on the wall. The ground shook, and when they looked down, they saw that a section of the ground split open to reveal a downward passage.
Xuanwei walked towards the passage: "Everyone, follow me."
Seeing this, Ling Yi took the lead and followed closely behind the others. After they all went down, Xuan Yang withdrew his hand and followed them down before the passage closed.
There were illuminating beads at the bottom of the passage, so it wasn't dark even when the passage was closed. The group walked down the stairs and soon reached the end, where a large black door appeared.
The gate was entirely black, with some patterns carved on it. The patterns were of varying depths and were very chaotic, looking like a child's scribbles.
"This is..." Ye Qingshuang looked up at the patterns, feeling as if she had seen them before, but she couldn't remember them for a moment.
Just as Ye Qingshuang was agonizing over this, Bai Qingjue said, "It's a demon-sealing spell."
"That's right!" Ye Qingshuang clapped her hands upon hearing this: "It's the Demon-Sealing Curse."
After saying that, Ye Qingshuang looked at Xuan Yang and Xuan Wei: "This door is sealed with a demon-sealing spell. Is your little princess a demon?"
After saying that, Ye Qingshuang felt something was wrong. They had just met the little princess's parents, and they were just ordinary people, not demons at all. If that was the case, why was the little princess underground, and why was there a demon-sealing spell on the underground gate?
After hearing Ye Qingshuang's words, Xuan Yang and Xuan Wei were both astonished: "Is this a demon-sealing spell?"
Seeing their surprise, Ye Qingshuang also looked astonished: "You didn't know?"
The two shook their heads: "We don't know."
Unlike Yunzhou, Jingzhou is not isolated from the outside world. The people here also know that the demon race exists, but they are far away from the demon realm. Ordinary demons will not set foot here, and they have very little contact with the demon race. Naturally, they do not know the method of sealing demons.
"That's strange." Confirming that the two truly didn't know, Ye Qingshuang asked curiously, "Who carved this demon-sealing spell on the door?"
“It’s the little princess.” Mentioning the little princess, both Xuan Yang and Xuan Wei looked pained: “This was drawn by the little princess when she lost control, saying it could suppress her condition…”
Was it drawn when things got out of control?
No wonder the patterns are chaotic and the depth of the scratches is uneven.
"This sealing spell is incomplete, and its effect is less than one-tenth of the power of a complete sealing spell. It's not very useful." Bai Qingjue looked at Xuan Yang and Xuan Wei. Rather than the fact that the sealing spell was incomplete and useless, he was more curious about where the native Jingzhou people had learned about the sealing spell.
But then I thought about it again, and this curiosity was nothing compared to the fact that the princess knew Ling Yi was looking for something.
Ling Yi listened to their conversation and said calmly, "Take us to see the person."
Xuan Yang and Xuan Wei said no more and opened the stone door.
As the stone gate opened, the group looked behind it, expecting to see something, but there was nothing behind it except for the passage.
Xuan Yang and Xuan Wei led the way. After walking for a short while, another stone door appeared ahead. This door was the same as the previous one, black in color, with patterns carved on it. However, the patterns on this door were much better than the previous one. If Ye Qing Shuang had seen the patterns on this door before, she would have recognized it at a glance.
However, although the sealing spell on this door is much clearer, it is still incomplete.
The stone gate opened, and the group looked up, expecting to see something, but there was nothing there!
Ye Qingshuang asked quietly, "What's going on with your little princess?"
It's one thing to be underground, but to have layers upon layers of protection? Even if it were a demon, it wouldn't need this much, right?
"The little princess is not well..." Xuan Yang sighed, "You will all know when you see the little princess."
Xuanwei then said, "We're almost there."
Ye Qingshuang didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. The group walked through the stone gate and along the passage for a while before seeing the third stone gate as expected.
The third stone door also has a demon-sealing spell, and it is a complete demon-sealing spell.
Ye Qingshuang looked at the sealed demon and said to Ling Yi, "It looks like there's a demon inside."
Ling Yi didn't speak, but simply released his power to sense things. He hadn't sensed anything on the ground, but here, he sensed a faint demonic energy and another kind of energy...
Pain, despair, anger—these emotions mixed together to form resentment…
The demonic energy was mixed with resentment.
Ling Yi's gaze deepened. How could the little princess, who was doted on by her parents, harbor resentment?
Thinking of this, Ling Yi said in a deep voice, "Open the door."
“Alright.” Xuan Yang responded and said to the others, “The princess is inside. The situation is special, so please use your powers to protect yourselves.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang took out a defensive magic artifact from her spatial storage and activated it. The barrier formed by the artifact enveloped everyone, so that the others no longer needed to mobilize their power.
"Alright," Ye Qingshuang said, "Let's start."
Xuan Yang nodded and pressed the stone door mechanism: "Open an opening and go in."
The stone gate split open to the sides, allowing only one person to pass through. Ling Yi went in first, followed closely by the others. They passed through very quickly. Once everyone was inside, Xuan Yang pressed a mechanism, and the stone gate, which was not yet fully open, quickly closed, completely blocking the light coming in from outside.
"They didn't come in," Baijiu said as he heard the stone door close.
Bai Qingjue said, "It's alright, don't be afraid."
"Why is it so dark?" Ye Qingshuang said, tossing the magic weapon in her hand to Lin Chengtian and taking out a bright pearl.
As soon as the pearl appeared, it illuminated the room. In that instant, the group saw a person sitting at the bottom of the wall directly in front of them.
The person sat with their back against the wall, their long, messy hair obscuring most of their face. They wore a white dress, but a black band appeared around the waist of the dress. Following the black band, one could see chains embedded in the wall.
Several chains hung down, binding her waist, hands, and feet, imprisoning her there.
Their gazes shifted to other parts of the wall, where they saw sealing spells, some messy and some clear, covering three walls in various sizes.
As Ye Qingshuang watched, she suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
If the demon-sealing spell were effective, why would it need to be depicted in so many details?
Knowing it's useless, they still depicted so much; they were completely out of options.
Ye Qingshuang had clearly experienced that kind of despair.
Just as the group was looking at the person in the corner, the person looked up at them, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes, staring straight at Ling Yi at the front: "You're finally back."
