Love is deep but fate is shallow, this beautiful wife has waited for a thousand years

Mu Xiaoqiao walked down the steps and when he reached a depth of about ten feet underground, he came to a corridor. Torches were lit not far apart on the stone walls on both sides, illuminating the corridor.

She stopped, covered her chest, and took a breath. Then she gritted her teeth and flew up. When she was exhausted, she looked at the floor tiles, lightly tapped her toes, and flew up again. She tapped five times in a row before she flew out of the corridor and landed on the ground. She covered her chest with her hands again.

"What? The number one killer gets injured?" A woman came out from behind the stone wall and said in a sarcastic tone.

Mu Xiaoqiao recognized that it was Zhao Minna, the winner of the other group that left the island with her. Her codename was Juesha and she was currently ranked second in the Silent Organization.

She has always been upset about coming in second, and has never been nice to Mu Xiaoqiao. She always speaks in a sarcastic manner, and Mu Xiaoqiao has never bothered to pay attention to her.

It was the same at this time. Mu Xiaoqiao chose to turn a deaf ear to Zhao Minna's ridicule and walked inside.

"Broken Soul." After walking a few steps, another man appeared and grabbed Mu Xiaoqiao's arm.

She took a look at the third person who left the island together, Ling Xiao, codenamed Ghost. He had the best Qinggong among the three, but his combat ability was slightly weaker, ranking fifth in the silent organization.

"What's the matter?" Mu Xiaoqiao glanced at his hand that was holding her arm and said lightly.

"The lord is angry. You didn't complete the mission this time. You are being hunted by the entire martial arts world and even implicated the organization. I'm afraid..."

Ling Xiao didn't say anything else. In the Silent Organization, if you make a mistake you will be punished, and no one will be an exception.

"That's a trap." Mu Xiaoqiao's voice was calm.

Ling Xiao let go of his hand and glanced at Zhao Minna, who was standing against the wall not far away with a sword in her arms, a mocking smile on her face.

"We all know it's a trap, but although the Wulin Post has called on the entire Wulin to kill you, someone has actually ranked us all, saying that any assassins from the Nameless Organization must be killed without mercy. That's why no one has been out much recently, and the organization has encountered an unprecedented crisis."

Ling Xiao sighed, "For this reason, the lord has said that if you come back, you will have to go to the Ice Cave to reflect on your mistakes."

The Ice Cave is the cruelest punishment of the Silent Organization. It is located in the deepest part of the underground palace. There is no sunlight all year round and the ice walls do not melt for thousands of years. People who stay in it for one hour will be frozen to death. Even those with good internal strength will suffer great damage and cold poison will enter their bodies after staying there for twelve hours.

Mu Xiaoqiao pursed her lips and said, "Even if I go to the Ice Cave, I have to see the Lord first."

After she finished speaking, she left without looking back. Zhao Minna walked up to Ling Xiao and said, "I knew she wouldn't appreciate your kindness. She has a stubborn personality and she won't turn back until she hits a wall."

"Don't gloat over other people's misfortune. The three of us share weal and woe. Now Duan Hun is in front to protect us. Once something happens to her, the next ones to be targeted will be you and me." Ling Xiao said in a deep voice.

"If not, how could I help you stop her here? But she didn't listen and insisted on going back to die. What can I do?"

Ling Xiao said nothing, looking in the direction where Mu Xiaoqiao left, thinking for a long time.

Mu Xiaoqiao stepped into the main hall of the underground palace. Although it had been five years since she came to this underground palace from the island, she had actually been running around outside most of the time and seldom stayed here. In the five years combined, she had only stayed here for no more than three months.

This hall is very large. When you walk in and look towards the highest point, you can't see the person sitting there at all. The decoration here is also very luxurious, with dragons and phoenixes carved on the gilded pillars, giving it the feeling of a throne room.

Mu Xiaoqiao walked to the center of the hall and bowed, "Greetings, Lord."

"Duanhun, you're back. How are you injured?" The person at the highest point spoke, a strong masculine voice, but the person was wrapped in a black robe. No one had ever seen his true face, including Mu Xiaoqiao.

"Thank you for your concern, lord. I am fine."

"Since there is no problem, do you know what mistake you made?" The lord's voice did not express any emotion, but Mu Xiaoqiao knew that he was angry. The angrier he was, the calmer his voice became.

"I don't know what I did wrong. This was a trap from the beginning to the end."

"It doesn't matter whether it's a trap or not. What matters is that you didn't complete the mission, which led to this disaster."

Mu Xiaoqiao was quick-witted and understood the key to the matter after a moment's thought. If she escaped and then tried to kill Sai Mengchang, he would have no chance to post a heroic message.

But she was seriously injured and has not recovered yet. She felt that she would not be sure of winning if she went again. Also, she was thinking about that matter, so she rushed back without stopping.

"My Lord is teaching me that after I recover from my wounds, I will definitely go and kill Sai Mengchang again."

"Wait until you recover from your injuries?" The lord snorted coldly, "I'm afraid by then, the Silent Organization will have been turned upside down."

Mu Xiaoqiao knelt on one knee and said, "It is my fault that I did not do my job well. Please punish me, lord. You can punish me in any way you want, but please tell me what you promised me."

"You didn't complete the mission, so I can't tell you now. We agreed that in the last mission, you killed someone and I told you what you wanted to know. It was a fair deal, and you broke the contract first."

The lord's voice was low, but there was no room for negotiation.

Mu Xiaoqiao gritted his teeth secretly, "If I kill Sai Mengchang, can you tell me the truth, lord?"

"Of course, but before you go and kill someone, you must pay the price for your mistake. Go to the Ice Cave to receive your punishment."

After saying this, he waved his hand and a veil fell in front of him, which was a signal that he was not going to talk anymore.

Mu Xiaoqiao stood up and saluted, then turned and left. No matter how cold the ice cave was, she had to get through it. She had to find out the truth of the incident.

Ice cave.

Mu Xiaoqiao came over accompanied by the lord's guards. At the moment, she was only wearing a middle-length dress and was not carrying the Soul-Breaking Sword. This was the rule of the Ice Cave.

The ice wall at the entrance of the cave was gleaming white. Before they entered, a chill hit them in the face. It was bone-chilling. The guard stopped and said to Mu Xiaoqiao, "After twelve hours, if you can come out alive, everything that happened before will be written off."

Mu Xiaoqiao nodded, took a deep breath, and walked in with his head held high.

Not far away, Ling Xiao and Zhao Minna watched Mu Xiaoqiao walk into the ice cave from behind the ice wall. Ling Xiao said anxiously, "Hurry up and think of a way. If she really stays there for twelve hours, Duan Hun will definitely die. She is also seriously injured."

Zhao Minna glanced at him and said, "Why are you so anxious? If she dies, at most we can join forces to kill Sai Mengchang. Those people will be leaderless and will naturally disperse. It is not necessary to save her."

"It would be great if it were that simple. Unfortunately, if Duanhun dies, we will be buried with him. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
