"So... can we leave now?" Shen Qiao, who couldn't see anything and could only feel anxious, couldn't help but speak.

"Since I'm the one paying the commission, I have another request." Xu Tang seemed to be determined to go all out.

Wang You nodded, "Please speak."

"I want to take someone back with me." He looked at Shen Qiao as he spoke, "No, to be precise... a grave."

"Okay." Wang You agreed straightforwardly.

Shen Qiao: “……?”

How could she not remember that Tianxingmen also had the business of relocating graves?

Before Shen Qiao could figure out why Wang You agreed so readily, he heard him change the subject, "But..."

"You have to pay more."

Xu Tang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wang You, "Swindler."

Wang You smiled, "It's a monk."

"It's not a transaction, it's cause and effect."

Xu Tang was speechless and could only stare at Wang You with a bad look.

Shen Qiao clearly felt the air become heavy for a moment, but this brief negotiation finally ended with Xu Tang's compromise.

"Okay, I accept it."

"On behalf of Tianxingmen, I would like to thank Mr. Xu for his trust." Wang You said formally.

After a while, after the sound of rubbing fabric stopped, Shen Qiao was finally able to see again.

Her eyes fell on the man who was already dressed.

Waist-length blonde hair, silver eyes, and a haughty demeanor... He looks noble even if he's wearing rags.

But it's too eye-catching.

Xu Tang noticed Shen Qiao looking at him, raised his head and smiled, "Does it look good?"

"It's pretty." Shen Qiao answered truthfully, but then smiled and said, "But not as pretty as my master."

"...Your Master?"

Shen Qiao consciously shifted his "firepower" and pointed at Wang You, "Yes."

Wang You naturally turned his head away, ignoring Xu Tang's slightly gloomy face.

Heh... two vixen, one big and one small.

Xu Tang silently took note of the master and disciple in front of him, rolled his eyes and turned away, "Come on, I'll take you to dig a grave."

The last two words were pronounced very heavily, clearly with anger.

Following Xu Tang through the forest where he had set up his formation, the three of them and their two horses continued walking two miles deeper into the forest until Xu Tang, who was leading the way, stopped at the edge of a bottomless pool.

"under."

Shen Qiao couldn't help but ask, "Underwater?"

Xu Tang was annoyed, "Or else?"

I can't see the bottom, how deep is it?

Shen Qiao walked to the edge of the pool, put his left hand under the water, and sensed with his spiritual power.

The deeper you go, the colder the water temperature becomes, almost approaching freezing.

There is no sun or moon in the demon world, and there are no distinct four seasons. Therefore, ordinary methods cannot be used to determine why the temperature at the bottom of the water is so low that it is almost freezing.

She paddled her hand in the water a few times to form a tiny whirlpool. Xu Tang kept watching her movements. Just as the small whirlpool was taking shape, Shen Qiao pulled her hand out of the water.

"...Is that the end?" he asked doubtfully.

Shen Qiao stood up and clapped his hands, "Don't worry, it will be fine soon."

Xu Tang looked at her half-believingly, and when he looked back at the water surface, he saw that the pool water, which had been tightly closed just now, had automatically retreated to both sides, and even formed a staircase leading directly to the bottom of the water in the middle.

"Okay, let's go down and take a look?"

Wang You shook his head and said, "You two go ahead. I'll be waiting for you upstairs."

Although Shen Qiao was a little surprised, he didn't ask any more questions. He nodded in agreement and went downstairs with Xu Tang.

The space under the water is very large, far from being as small as it appears on the surface.

"My name is Xu Tang."

The voice of the self-introduction made Shen Qiao look back, only to see Xu Tang looking at her with an appraising expression.

"I've told you my name, little girl. Out of courtesy, you have to tell me yours too."

Shen Qiao always felt that he seemed to know something, especially when he asked about Que Yuan's origins before.

"The third generation disciple of Tianxing Sect, Shen Qiao."

"Shen Qiao...Tianxingmen..." Xu Tang touched his chin and thought for a while.

"Tsk, this 'Tianxing Sect' sounds familiar to me... Hey, who is your current sect leader?"

"Replying to Senior, the current leader of Tianxing Sect is the disciple of the previous leader, Immortal Venerable Queyue."

Xu Tang pondered for a while, "Queyue...tsk, that sounds familiar too."

Shen Qiao was helpless.

Wang You said that the person in front of him had been abducted to the demon world a long time ago and knew very little about the outside world. Now it seemed that hearing these names sounded familiar was a good thing.

"It doesn't matter if you can't remember it now, Senior. You might remember it after you leave the Demon Realm and see it."

This person was obviously a carefree person. After hearing what Shen Qiao said, he did not hesitate any longer and said, "Hmm... that makes sense."

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the place where the water in the pool was beginning to freeze.

Shen Qiao used some small-scale ice-breaking techniques and continued to dig deeper from the ice surface until he finally touched the bottom of the pool.

Standing on the last section of the water steps, Shen Qiao looked around, but saw nothing except mud, water plants, and some scared fish.

"Where is the grave you are talking about?" Shen Qiao couldn't help asking.

"Oh, there is no grave." Xu Tang seemed to have just remembered to explain, and then Shen Qiao watched him take out a white skull from somewhere.

Wait, how did this guy manage to hide such a huge skull on his body before?

"It's fallen apart. I only found the head before. The other bones should be at the bottom of the pool, but it's too troublesome to find them piece by piece. So I thought I'd just wait for you to come and let you handle it."

This doesn't seem like... a "grave", right?

Shen Qiao took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

Isn't it just a hundred or so bones? Can't she find them?

"Excuse me, I need the skull of the man you have in your hand."

Xu Tang generously handed the man's head to Shen Qiao and said, "Here, use it."

Shen Qiao took it respectfully with both hands and said "Excuse me", then took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

The magical thing is that there seems to be some spiritual power remaining in these bones. This person must have been a powerful person of a high level when he was alive. Although no one knows why he ended up in such a state of being torn apart, with this little bit of spiritual power, it is not difficult to find the remaining bones.

She spread out her spiritual sense again. Her spiritual sense had almost recovered during the journey with Wang You. Although its range was limited now, it was enough to cover the entire bottom of the pool.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the situation at the bottom of the entire pool gradually took shape, and every place where the remaining bones were sensed was marked until a "spider web"-like connection was formed with the location.

But even though he was mentally prepared, Shen Qiao still felt his scalp tingling when he really "looked" at these densely packed signs.
