Seekers Without Bounds

Yinniang and Shi Xunfei had been walking in Tengji for almost a month, and it seemed like she was looking for something.

I gave up the thought of escaping. The desert was endless, and I would die if I ran away without water or food.

I can only follow Yinniang for now, after all, I don't have to worry about food and drink. I can also practice without being disturbed at night, which is not a loss.

What troubled Shi Xunfei was where she was going to take him. If it continued like this, how could he return to Washi Village?

How can I return to the Sacred Tree Temple after five years without going back to Washi Village?

Shi Xunfei was daydreaming when a town appeared vaguely in front of him. From a distance, it looked like a small city.

As you get closer, you will see a pile of ruins. There is not a single intact city wall, and most of the buildings are buried under the yellow sand.

What is very special is that all the stone buildings are broken, and there are still a few wooden buildings standing in the yellow sand.

Yinniang seemed to be very familiar with this place, and led Shi Xunfei to walk carefully along the remaining wall.

Shi Xunfei also followed carefully, because before entering the city, Yinniang warned him twice with serious gestures to follow the route and not make any noise.

The sand-crawling lizard they were riding was also following behind the two of them, but perhaps because the lizard was too big, it accidentally left the designated route.

"Swish" in just a moment, he was swallowed by the quicksand.

Shi Xunfei was startled and was about to speak with his mouth open, but Yinniang covered his mouth and nose with her hands to prevent him from making any sound.

With the previous experience with the lizard as a lesson, Shi Xunfei followed Yinniang more carefully.

Coming to an inconspicuous wall, Yinniang put her hand on a brick in the middle of the wall.

The surrounding sand quickly receded, revealing a secret passage on the ground. Yinniang led the way in, and Shi Xunfei hurriedly followed.

After entering the tunnel, Yinniang clapped her hands three times, and the secret door at the entrance closed. The entire tunnel suddenly became pitch dark.

After clapping twice more, in the blink of an eye, torches on both sides of the tunnel lit up and illuminated the tunnel.

The illumination of the torches and the bright bluestone throughout the tunnel interacted with each other, making the tunnel as bright as day.

Yinniang walked in front, and Shi Xunfei looked around behind. There were so many bluestone tunnels, and they were built in the desert. It was truly a masterpiece of nature.

The entire tunnel system is huge. After passing through the long entrance tunnel and entering the interior, what you see when you walk out of the tunnel is a huge circular plaza.

The square was very high, and there were no torches on the wall, but in the middle there was a bright star, not dazzling at all. Looking closely, it looked like a bright full moon.

With a bang, the stone door of the original entrance closed. Yinniang signaled Shi Xunfei to wait in the hall, and she turned into a passage.

Shi Xunfei counted and found that there were a total of twelve passages connecting to the circular hall, including the entrance passage.

I walked around the hall and looked at all the entrances, except for the closed entrance. The eleven open entrances all had different shapes.

The passage Yinniang went to was the only one that was lit, and it was marked with a bloodthirsty symbol.

The rest of the entrances have unique markings of various types of warriors. Shi Xunfei only recognized a few of them and had never seen some of them before.

It’s interesting that the entire underground palace seems to be only black and white, without any other colors.

Where there is light, it is all white, and where there is no light, it is deep black with not a single ray of light getting through.

Shi Xunfei originally wanted to enter through the entrance of the Wind Whispering Pattern, but he only took one foot in to test it out.

There was only a thin line of separation, but no light could penetrate the passage. I couldn't see the footsteps that went in, so who knew what was going on inside? I retreated again.

In the middle of the hall is a large disc surrounded by a deep ditch. There should have been water in it originally, but it is dry now.

The large disc is evenly divided into four parts. The first part depicts the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers in spring.

The second part is the hot summer and the hard working of farmers.

The third and most interesting piece is the fruit trees in autumn, laden with fruits.

The most special thing is that the first, second and fourth pieces are all black, but the third piece is bright white.

In each of the three paintings there is a similar person in the corner, looking down at a well.

And between the second and third blocks there is a long pointer, moving vaguely.

There is no spiritual power in the entire underground palace, only this pointer is special.

When Shi Xunfei approached, he clearly felt very close to him, but he couldn't tell why. Maybe it was just an illusion.

There was nowhere to go. After waiting for a few days, there was still no sign of Yinniang. Driven by curiosity, Shi Xunfei prepared to go to the Wind Whisper Passage again to take a look.

When half of the body had just crossed the goal line, a huge suction force hit.

Fortunately, he was careful enough to keep his right foot firmly sucked outside, but the force was getting stronger and stronger, and he could no longer withstand the suction.

Shi Xunfei's entire body was lifted up sideways by the wind and he was about to go in.

The right foot that was left outside was held by the red silk and moved back and forth little by little. It was Yinniang who came out of the passage and pulled him back.

"Didn't I tell you to stay put and not go into the passage?"

Yinniang spoke! But the voice was a man's.

Shi Xunfei was a little confused when he realized that there was a skeleton following Yinniang.

"This is the bloodthirsty skeleton's method of impersonation. The blood supplies the skeleton and becomes a part of its own body."

Looking at the confused Shi Xunfei, Yinniang explained.

"I, I'm just curious about what's in the Wind Whispering Tunnel."

Shi Xunfei was not used to Yinniang speaking, and he stuttered when he spoke.

"That is a sealed passage. If the seal is not removed, even a warrior at the Transformation Realm will die if he enters rashly."

Yinniang warned, but they had been communicating with sign language all the way, and when they could finally speak, the sudden male voice made Shi Xunfei a little uncomfortable.

"You left your mother when you were a baby. What name did your father give you?" Now that she could speak again, Yinniang seemed to have endless things to say.

"My name is Shi... Lu Zhaohui. I have lived in the Shenshu Temple Mercenary Camp since I was a child. My father never took care of me. He also never talked to me about my mother."

Shi Xunfei stammered and almost said his own name, but then he thought that Yinniang must have mistaken him for Lu Zhaohui.

He had no idea about Lu Zhaohui's life, and he couldn't make it up, so it would be better to just say he had never met him.

Moreover, Shi Xunfei's biological father had indeed never taken care of him. He and Lu Zhaohui had one thing in common: both had never seen their biological mother since birth. When he spoke of this, his face sounded very sincere.

"Zhao Hui, Zhao Hui, he still has some thoughts about you, but he didn't even give you his real name. I will cut that ungrateful man into pieces!"

"I left you alone in the Temple of the Divine Tree when you were little. My child, are you doing well? Has anyone bullied you?"

Yinniang's rough masculine voice, as she hugged Shi Xunfei in her arms, her dead wood-like skin gave Shi Xunfei goose bumps.

Hearing that Shi Xunfei came out of the Sacred Tree Temple, Yinniang became even more certain that this was her child.

Because the Shenshu Temple is the top warrior temple in Yunchuan. After all, illegitimate children of foreign races are more dangerous in Miandu.

"Master is very good to me, and the fellow disciples in the God Tree Temple are all very nice to me."

Shi Xunfei sensed the sudden change in Yinniang's mood and spoke quickly.

"You are his child after all, so the people in the Divine Tree Temple should still take care of you. Let's go to the Red Sun Temple."

Yinniang pulled Shixun and flew into the bloodthirsty warrior passage.

After passing through the door of the Bloodthirsty Warrior Passage and looking back at the entrance, you will see a dark red door.

The color in the passage was also strange. The flames at the entrance were white, and the color gradually deepened from blue to red as one went further in. The bloodthirsty power became more and more pure.

There is also a circular hall at the end of the passage, but it is obviously much smaller than the hall for introductory bloodthirsty warriors.

The whole hall is dark red, and there is a circular red river of blood in the middle of the hall.

They were surrounding a chair, which was so special that it looked like it was made of flesh and blood. Shi Xunfei could even feel the beating heart in the chair!

"I have already taken control of the Danjing Throne. As long as you are in this shrine, all the bloodthirsty powers are under my control. You are my child, and the bloodthirsty powers here will not harm you."

Yinniang said this and sat on the flesh and blood seat in the middle.

Shi Xunfei was not greatly affected by such a strong bloodthirsty power because the tears in his body absorbed the bloodthirsty power of the Styx and Yinniang's ribbons.

As a result of these two factors, the bloodthirsty power in the Red Sun Temple did not have a profound impact on him, and Yinniang became more and more convinced that he was her own child.

"Come to me, and I'll perform a magic trick for you!?"

Yinniang giggled, and the skinny woman's voice combined with that of a man sounded terrifying.

Before Shi Xunfei could react, a long arm emerged from the throne and pulled him into the circle.

There were loud rumbling sounds all around, and the Hongri Temple began to rise towards the ground.

Over at Washi Village, Xi Jingtai took Lu Zhaohui deep into Tengji once again, even though he was seriously injured and had not yet recovered.

But the big shots who came from Miancheng specifically wanted to take him with them.

After all, he is Yinniang's biological son, and the only son of Lord Liu. With him, the trip to Qiqiao Oasis is somewhat guaranteed.

After listening to the conversation between Lu Yansheng and Lei Mingyu, Xi Jingtai was not willing to get involved in this muddy water, but he was only the deputy commander and had no choice.

Searching for Yinniang and Qiqiao Oasis is a thankless task that anyone with a discerning eye can see.

Even if there are benefits, they won't fall on him. In addition, the Yeluo people are also eyeing him covetously, and if he doesn't handle it well, he may even lose his life.

On the high sand dunes, a group of people looked at the faint halo in the distance. Qiqiao Oasis finally appeared!

Xi Jingtai brought the Waishi Patrol Battalion to the foot of the hill and was surprised when he saw the people there.

The commander of the Wangcheng border army was Le Shusheng, and the left deputy commander was Lin Feida.

The left and right lieutenants of the Wangcheng Army were Zhang Yiyang and Li Nianbo.

There were other unfamiliar faces that the three of them didn't recognize, but the face that was almost identical to Lu Zhaohui's, needless to say, Lu Zhaohui's biological father, Liu Xiaojueye, was here.

At the foot of the hill were the elite soldiers of the Wangcheng Army, with preliminary estimates of at least sixty of them.

Those who came were all big shots. Xi Jingtai hurriedly went up to say hello, but the three people he didn't know didn't even look at Xi Jingtai.

Young Master Liu just glanced at Lu Zhaohui without even a word of greeting.

Lu Zhaohui also looked at him as if he were a stranger. What a strange pair of father and son.
