The acidic liquid hissed as it struck the barrier, and no one dared to say they couldn't hold on any longer. Just at that moment of extreme urgency—
“Xi Meng!” Xiaopu's voice!
“Xiaopu, we're here!”
“Xi Meng, are you all right?! What about them?!” Although Xiaopu's voice was faint here, it couldn't hide her urgent tone.
“We're still holding on! But we need to think of a way out quickly; we can't last much longer!”
“Xi Meng, I'm the Sun. Let's work together from this place!” the Sun said.
“Okay!”
Now was the time for the Sun and Xiaopu to attack from outside, coordinating their efforts!
“Rift Sky Seal—!”
Damn it, why was there still no response!
“This isn't good, what should we do, Sun?!” Xiaopu cried out from outside.
“What on earth is this thing, damn it!”
Is there really no way out…
“Master, it's bad! The protective barrier can't hold on any longer!” Little Pink suddenly said.
The conditions of wind, water, thunder, electricity, fire, and snow were deteriorating rapidly, and my body was flickering in and out, on the verge of dissipating.
The acid from the Eon Monster was no joke; if this continued, no one would survive!
No, we've come this far; now is definitely not the time to give up!
"Xi Meng, move aside!" Sun shouted fiercely.
Before I could react, Little Pink swiftly retreated several dozen meters back. Immediately after, a narrow gap appeared in the Wall!
What is happening?!
"Quick, now's our chance! Get out!" Sun forcefully pulled at the opening in the Wall.
"Hurry up, Little Pink!" I urged.
Little Pink swiftly dashed through the gap but stumbled heavily onto the ground as soon as she emerged, completely exhausted.
"Xi Meng!" Xiaopu rushed over first, helping me up while anxiously checking my condition.
"I'm fine; go treat them first. Their injuries are worse than mine." I patted Xiaopu's hand to reassure her that I was okay.
"Alright, you rest for a bit," Xiaopu said.
Finally relieved, I leaned against the side and closed my eyes.
"Xi Meng, how are you?" Sun approached and squatted down to ask.
"That was close this time," I said with a tired smile.
"Yeah, luckily we have this Little One," the Sun said, smiling as he took out a knife from his pocket.
"Wait, what is this?!"
"That's right, Xiaopu told me this knife was left for her by you."
It was the magical artifact that helped Chiba escape from Waterless Heaven. I never expected it to be sharp enough to cut through Los Crystal's body.
"I really didn't expect it, seeing such an ordinary little thing."
"Show your true form," the Sun said mysteriously.
The knife shook and, in the blink of an eye, transformed into a small humanoid figure!
"Doudou!" I exclaimed.
How could it be Doudou?!
"You've been following us all along?" I asked.
Doudou looked shy, lowering his head without saying anything.
Well, that's fine. Otherwise, he would be bullied if he fell into someone else's hands.
"Please help me protect Xiaopu and stay by her side, okay?" I glanced at the Sun and then turned to Doudou.
"Mm." Doudou shyly nodded.
...
I felt like I had forgotten something, like there was something I missed.
It was Silver Moon! Why hadn't I seen Silver Moon?!
"Sun, where is Silver Moon?!" I suddenly grabbed Sun's arm and asked.
"He hadn't recovered before we arrived, so we placed him in a safe location. Don't worry."
Now Dark Stone had found its master, but it showed no reaction to its former master, Silver Moon. How could that make sense?
"Has Silver Moon been acting strangely during this time?"
"Honestly, I've felt something off about him every day. Just the aura around him makes me feel really uncomfortable."
"We can't be sure if this Silver Moon is the real one or an impersonator. After all, none of us know what happened before..." I hesitated to say. Deep down, I couldn't truly be firm regarding Silver Moon; I was aware that there were many doubts, yet I still couldn't voice them.
"If there's really something wrong with him, you won't stop me from taking action, right?" Sun looked at me seriously.
I was taken aback and didn't respond.
"Don't feel pressured; I won't make you take action." Sun said.
I lowered my hands, suddenly feeling a wave of helplessness.
“Ah!” Xiaopu suddenly let out a sharp scream.
Sun swiftly rushed over, shielding Xiaopu behind him.
I looked around but didn’t see any suspicious figures. Why was Xiaopu so frightened?
Xiaopu’s trembling body remained hidden behind Sun for quite some time.
“What’s wrong, Xiaopu?” I approached and asked gently.
Xiaopu didn’t respond, his face pale. I glanced at Sun and saw that he also looked serious.
Following their gaze, I noticed Chiba and the last companion ahead. They were still unconscious, but their injuries had completely healed.
“Hiss—!” I couldn’t help but gasp. What was this thing?!
I hadn’t seen the last Dark Stone owner clearly before; his face was covered with dense patterns and crisscrossing scars, almost obscuring his features. He looked extremely ferocious.
Frowning, I picked up a fallen mask nearby and carefully placed it back on the man’s face. Seeing that he didn’t wake up, I let out a slight sigh of relief.
Just as I was about to withdraw my hand, suddenly a cold object gripped my wrist!
The man opened his eyes, one red and one green, staring at me like a venomous snake, giving off an unsettling feeling as if he might swallow me whole at any moment.
“Are you okay? Is there anywhere else that feels uncomfortable?” I tried to soften my voice and smiled.
"Who are you?" The voice carried a bone-chilling coldness.
I had encountered cold-hearted individuals in the underworld before, but never had anyone made me think of death and a terrifying curse just by looking at them.
Of course, I had no intention of recounting everything from the beginning, and I doubted he could even comprehend it right now. Yet, there was another voice in my mind saying, "I am the one who will save you from this suffering."
To my surprise, I actually said it out loud.
The man did not expect such a response from me; he stared at me blankly without reacting.
At that moment, the Dark Stone reappeared—this was the opportunity!
"Trust me." I grasped his wrist firmly.
The Dark Stone emitted a dim glow, hovering between him and me.
"Cursed Seal." As the Dark Stone touched the center of his forehead, he whispered.
His name was Cursed Seal.
Suddenly, Cursed Seal screamed in agony, clutching his head as if he had gone mad, collapsing to the ground and convulsing uncontrollably!
"What is happening?!" I exclaimed in shock!
Xiaopu and the Sun were also stunned, completely bewildered by what was occurring!
Cursed Seal pushed my hand away, desperately clawing at his mask, which soon began to show numerous cracks.
"Ah—!" The last scream of Curse Seal ended, and the mask was shattered!
Xiaopu once again hid behind the sun. I had mentally prepared myself to face that terrifying face, but...
All the scars and patterns vanished, and a character meaning "curse" appeared on the right side of Curse Seal's forehead.
After struggling for a while, Curse Seal slowly began to calm down. His eyes remained wide open, looking around with some unease. Soon, his features were clearly revealed before my eyes.
His pale face still emanated an unshakeable chill. How should I put it? His features were all very delicate, but together they gave off a sense of isolation that seemed to say "do not disturb." The corners of his mouth turned slightly downward, resembling a cold-blooded creature that hadn't smiled in years, occasionally muttering something under his breath.
"Curse Seal," I tried to softly call his name.
It seemed to take him a while to respond, his eyes revealing a hint of disbelief.
"What’s wrong?" I smiled.
Curse Seal suddenly reached out his hand and started to fumble around his face with considerable force.
"My mask?! Where is it?!" Curse Seal exclaimed.
"It was shattered by you just now," I replied.
"You, you—"
"I am Xi Meng, and from now on, I will be your partner."
"Impossible! How could you be fine?!" Curse Seal gasped, his emotions in a state of panic.
"What should I do?"
"You should be dead. How are you not dead?!"
Curse Seal suddenly stood up, looking at Xiaopu and the sun. Seeing that neither of them reacted, he frantically began to scratch at his own face.
"Your face is fine. If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself." I pointed to a small pond nearby.
Only then did Curse Seal stop and crazily run towards the pond.
"Hahahahaha—" Laughter mixed with cries came from Curse Seal's direction, and no one knew what was happening to him.
The sun walked over with a serious expression, followed by Xiaopu.
"Do you know where this person comes from?" the sun asked.
I shook my head, but I was sure he wasn't from an ordinary race.
"This place really has all kinds of races; I didn't expect to encounter the Ghost Mark Clan."
"Ghost Mark Clan?"
"Yes, they cast spells from birth. Their clan has no ranks; the strength of their abilities is marked on their faces. The more patterns on their faces, the stronger their curse power."
"...If that's the case, that guy must be quite strong," Xiaopu said.
"It's not that simple. Even if he has the most marks on his face, it can't exceed five," the sun replied.
"But he clearly has a face!" Xiaopu exclaimed.
"Shh!" I signaled for Xiaopu to be quiet.
"That's why I'm confused about what this guy is all about... Also, the Ghost Mark Clan was actually exterminated three hundred years ago."
"What?!" Xiaopu was shocked again.
I was also taken aback, looking at Curse Seal, who was examining the face.
"The curse of the Ghost Mark Clan was simply too terrifying. This kind of extraordinary talent is practically heaven-defying and cannot exist within the Three Realms."
"What does that mean?" I asked.
"A glance or a thought from a strong member of the Ghost Mark Clan could silently kill you without expending a bit of Soul Energy. Even newborns can take your life in an instant if they sense even a hint of malice from you, as long as your soul level is below that of the Saint of the Underworld."
What?! A newborn can kill someone below the level of the Saint of the Underworld with just a glance!
"I heard from my elders that in order to eliminate the Ghost Mark Clan, nearly all major sects and families from the Underworld were mobilized, and in the end, it was a pyrrhic victory to wipe out the Ghost Mark Clan."
"I never expected that there are still people from the Ghost Mark Clan today, hiding in the Lost City of Lothar," Taiyang sighed.
