At the side of the wind wall, a pink-colored body shape was sinking, yet the person appeared unfeeling, and made no response even when the wind blades hit and produced bloody marks on him.
Yi Qing remembered that she was the one who sent that SOS signal. He directly sent over a wave of sword qi, which surrounded her and blocked out the wind blades as well as the swarm.
The two continued to sink towards the bottom of the wind blades. After around a quarter of an hour, the wind blades and the swarm all disappeared, and a faint light came from below. The aura over his body somehow recovered a little. They were probably reaching the bottom.
Yi Qing mobilized his Spirit Qi and flew down directly, catching the little girl on his way.
Soon, he indeed landed on an open space. While they were apparently underground, this looked like a purposefully made place. It was very wide but still dark.


Yi Qing looked at the little girl on the ground, made a hand seal and pointed between her brows. In the next moment, the little girl finally woke up.

Where… where is this?
She looked around in panic.
Yi Qing summoned a flame, temporarily illuminating their surroundings. Only now did the little girl see Yi Qing beside her. She was first shocked, and then became immensely joyful,
Big brother next door! It’s you, it’s so good that I am seeing you again.


You are…
Yi Qing frowned. Have they met?


It’s me, it’s me!
She pointed at her face hurriedly.
I’m Niu Niu, I used to live next door to you.

Yi Qing was stunned for a moment. In his head, the image of a little girl with a runny nose flashed. He looked at her in surprise,
you are the granddaughter of Mother Wang?


Hmm-hmm.
She nodded hard.
I’ve always remembered big brother. So you have become a cultivator, so have I! I’ve joined Red and Green Sect. Master gave me a new name, I’m called Lily now.

Yi Qing nodded, the cold and serious look still on his face.
This is the bottom of that swarm, and it is dangerous. We must be careful and cautious at all times.

The girl called Lily nodded and stood up hurriedly.
I will take care and follow big brother next door.


I’m called Yi Qing!
he replied her, as he looked around.
There might be an entrance. Let’s look around.




Okay.
Lily grew nervous instantly. She hurried to follow suit, and in her eyes were of complete trust towards the person beside her.
The two continued forward for a quarter of an hour but didn’t find anything. Only now did Yi Qing realize that the place was huge and very empty. Besides several pillars that seemed to be for support, nothing else could be seen.
It’s just that those pillars were all engraved with strange runes, which were unlike the writing of cultivators, but more like those from many years ago. The engravings were a bit fuzzy. The two continued forward for a while, and even those pillars were no longer complete. Many had already collapsed. Yi Qing felt that they shouldn’t be far from the edge.
Suddenly, a bright light came from nowhere, and there were sounds like some spells had been activated. Then there was a loud bang. Yi Qing frowned, looked at the person behind him, and at the same time began to fly on his sword towards that direction.
In the next moment, a huge mansion suddenly appeared in front of them. Yet its exterior was shrouded by a black layer of demonic aura, which looked thick and didn’t seem like it could be easily broken.
In front of that demonic aura stood a person. He was dressed in a long, greenish gray robe, and his hair was slightly messy. He was attacking the demonic aura constantly, as if he was trying to enter.

Who’s there?
The person seemed to have noticed them. He turned and looked back.
Yi Qing and Lily had to fly down and land in a position a few dozen feet from him.

Yi Qing, it’s you!
The person’s eyes suddenly shrunk, and many emotions passed over his face. It seemed like surprise, indignation, or enmity. Yet in an instant all those disappeared, and he looked towards the two gloomily.
I didn’t expect that you have a bit of skill too. You are actually here.

Yi Qing was totally confused.
You are…
 Who is that?


The person’s face stiffened, and anger burst out in his body like fire ignited. He looked at him as if he wanted to bite.
You dare say that you don’t know me?!


No!
He answered instantly.

You…
The person was even angrier, and his face distorted, like he was prepared to rush out and stab him. After a long while, maybe remembering something, he took a deep breath, gnashed his teeth and said,
I am Jing Qi!


Jing… Qi?
Yi Qing bowed down his head, thought seriously about it, and he frowned ever deeper. Looking at those horrible stares, his eyes finally brightened, like he finally remembered,
Oh… Dog!


…
 Who is Dog?


So it’s brother Dog!
Lily at the side took a step forward with an excited expression on her face and light in her eyes.
Brother Dog, you are also cultivating, it is so good! I am Niu Niu, brother Dog! Do you remember me, brother Dog? I didn’t expect to see you again, brother Dog!

Jing Qi felt as if he was stabbed many times, but he couldn’t get angry at them. He bore with it after a long time of gnashing his teeth.

Niu Niu…
His face distorted many times, and there was not the slightest hint of joy from meeting an old friend. It was as if he tried hard to make out a smile, but ended up with an even fiercer expression.
You have a new name now too, I suppose?


Of course. I’m called Lily. Master named me!


Lily. I’m called Jing Qi now. You can just call me Jing Qi!




Okay, brother Dog. No problem, brother Dog!


…
He was almost murderous.

Where is this?
Yi Qing suddenly said, interrupting someone’s growing murderous aura.
Jing Qi was stunned, and only now remembered his purpose. He breathed in deeply. Calm down… When he had obtained that thing… and gone out of this mystic realm, he would definitely get back the dignity that he lost today. He stepped forward and said directly,

I don’t know too. I’ve been trapped here for three days. I can vaguely figure out that this might be the relic of an ancient great.


A relic!
Lily was shocked. And an ancient one besides! Though she was young, she had heard that all relics were great opportunities.
Something flashed in Jing Qi’s eyes. He continued,
In front shall be the mansion of the person who created this mystic realm back then. However, with all this demonic aura surrounding it, I’ve been unable to get in.

He pointed to the front and broke into a hearty smile.
Since we came from the same village, we are meant to help each other. How about we break in together and share the opportunities inside today?


Brother Dog, is this demonic aura very strong?
Lily frowned.
Jing Qi’s mouth twitched, and he nodded,
It’s very strong indeed. I used my full strength but was unable to break in. I’m afraid we would really have to combine the strength of us three to break in together.
