The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

The two walked in this deep passage for about a cup of tea. It was so quiet that they could only hear each other's breathing and heartbeats. However, suddenly, they heard a slight dripping sound, like the sound of water drops falling on stones, crisp and regular.

This sudden sound was particularly obvious in the silence, causing the two people to be highly alert. They immediately stopped and looked at each other, with a flash of understanding in their eyes. Without words, they both understood that the sound of water meant that there might be a water source ahead.

So, the two of them quickly exchanged a tacit glance, then quickened their pace and ran towards the source of the dripping sound. Their figures moved quickly in the dim passage, and the light of the fire sticks jumped in their hands, illuminating the way forward for them.

As they got closer to the source of the water, the dripping sound became clearer and clearer. They could even feel the moist air, as if they could already feel the coolness of the water ahead.

The two followed the sound of water and came to a wide underground water area, where a huge pool appeared before them.

The water in the pool was clear and transparent, rippling slightly and making a pleasant dripping sound. In the center of the pool, a golden lotus quietly bloomed, like a noble emperor, majestic and solemn.

What is even more surprising is that there is a flower emitting green light growing next to the pool.

The color of this flower is unique, different from common flowers, and it seems to contain some mysterious power. As the two approached, the green light gradually became brighter, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the surrounding environment.

Shangguan Ziling couldn't help but walk forward and look at this strange flower carefully. She stretched out her hand and gently touched the petals, and felt a cool feeling spread throughout her body instantly.

"Is this the Nether Flower?" Shangguan Ziling asked in confusion. She had never seen a Nether Flower before and didn't know what it looked like.

Mo Shaoxie frowned and carefully observed the Nether Flower. He said with some joy, "It is just as Xue Zhiyan described."

"It's really the Nether Flower!" Shangguan Ziling said excitedly, "Then the poison in your body can be completely cured!" Mo Shaoxie was poisoned by a deadly poison and had never found an effective antidote. Now that she saw the Nether Flower, she was naturally overjoyed.

Mo Shaoxie's eyes flashed with relief when he heard this. He looked up at Shangguan Ziling and smiled, "It seems that we are lucky."

Just as the two were rejoicing, the little fat boy in the space suddenly called out anxiously: "Master, why couldn't I sense you just now?" Shangguan Ziling was overjoyed when she heard it. She could finally sense the space again.

"Eh? Little Fatty, is that you?" Shangguan Ziling responded excitedly. She had accidentally touched a mechanism and fell from a height, about 20 meters deep. During that time, she not only lost her sense of space, but even when she called out to Little Fatty, there was no response, which made her very panicked and helpless.

"I don't know why I couldn't sense the space just now," Shangguan Ziling said to the little fat boy.

The little fat man in the space was a little confused. What had just blocked his connection with his master? How strange.

But now, Shangguan Ziling was finally able to establish a connection with the space again, which made her feel extremely fortunate and relieved. She couldn't wait to put the netherworld flower in her hand and the golden lotus in the pond into the space.

"Little Fatty, plant the Netherworld Flower next to the spiritual spring water, and put the Golden Lotus into the spiritual spring water." Shangguan Ziling ordered.

"Okay, Master." The little fat boy responded obediently. Its voice echoed in the space, giving people a sense of security.

Then, Shangguan Ziling saw the little fat boy moving flexibly in the space. According to her instructions, he planted the Netherworld Flower next to the spiritual spring water, and gently placed the golden lotus into the spiritual spring water.

Mo Shaoxie stood by the deep pool, gazing deeply at the location of the Nether Flower that had just disappeared and the golden lotus in the pool.

There was no extra expression on his face. Seeing Shangguan Ziling standing aside in a daze, she was obviously still communicating with the little fat boy in the space. Mo Shaoxie did not disturb her, but just quietly waited by her side to protect her.

Suddenly, a burst of dense footsteps came from above, breaking the silence around. Mo Shaoxie's face suddenly changed. He hugged Shangguan Ziling tightly and said in a deep voice: "Ling'er, someone is coming."

Shangguan Ziling came back to her senses instantly after hearing this.

She glanced at Mo Shaoxie and said decisively, "Let's go hide in the space first."

Mo Shaoxie nodded in agreement. Shangguan Ziling took his hand, moved, and disappeared from the spot. When they appeared again, they were already in space.

They observed the situation outside through space.

Just a short moment after they entered the space, Wang Heqing suddenly appeared where they were before. He looked around, his eyes as sharp as a knife, as if he was looking for something.

Wang Heqing stood by the pool, his face ashen and his eyes full of anger.

Wang Heqing stared at the empty pond with his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to catch the disappeared golden lotus and netherworld flower from the void. He slapped the water hard with his palm, splashing water everywhere, but it still couldn't quench his anger.

"Who dares to break into my Chongshan Sect!" Wang Heqing roared, his voice full of majesty and anger.

Wang Heqing turned around and gave an order to the people behind him: "They stole so many things, it's impossible for them to get far. Pass on my order, close the mountain immediately, and search for me. We must find the thieves."

"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison and dispersed to search for the thief who sneaked into Chongshan Sect.

The Great Elder stood aside, looking worried. He knew the seriousness of the theft. The secret rooms that had been emptied contained many treasures and valuables of the Chongshan Sect, but now they had been swept away.

More importantly, even the precious Nether Flower was missing, which was very useful!

"Master, how many people are there? How come our patrolling disciples didn't notice anything? Even the cave guards were knocked unconscious by them. There are a lot of things in the secret room, how could they be emptied out in an instant?" The great elder said worriedly, "And the Netherworld Flower is also missing. That was brought to Chongshan Sect by someone who asked us to spread the news and wait for the Regent to come to Chongshan, so that we can..."

The Great Elder made a killing gesture, implying that the original plan was to lure the Regent over with the Nether Flower, and then take the opportunity to get rid of him.

"How can we explain this to that person now?" The elder shook his head, a helpless look on his face. He knew that this incident not only caused Chongshan Sect to suffer heavy losses, but it might also affect their cooperation with that person. Once that person knew about this, he would probably be furious, which would be detrimental to Chongshan Sect.

Wang Heqing's face changed when he heard this. He realized that the seriousness of the situation was far beyond his imagination. He had to find a way to catch the person as soon as possible.
