Pei Hongdu remained silent, but his silence had already given Gu Qingling the answer.
Tears filled her eyes, and Lu Qingling cried so angry that she couldn't breathe. She watched Pei Hongdu's figure gradually move away from her.
But she had to turn around and run in the opposite direction.
Gu Qingling was confused. She choked and ran with the crowd in the direction of Haiming Palace. During this period, the wailing and crying of the sharks could not be heard, like sharp needlepoints, every word, every word, piercing her heart. p>
She finally ran to Haiming Palace.
Haiming Palace is located at the top of the Coral Palace. Standing outside the palace and looking down, the originally crystal clear Coral Palace is now shrouded in huge shadows, and the darkness swallows the Coral Palace bit by bit.
Mingqin rushed forward and picked up Gu Qingling: "Don't get close there, it's dangerous!"
When he saw Gu Qingling's face clearly, he was slightly startled, and suddenly became at a loss: "Hey? Why are you crying? You won't be hurt! Duxue, Duxue, come here and take a look!"
Duxue walked over with an anxious face. When she saw Gu Qingling, her face suddenly turned cold, as if she recalled the scene of her running away from her.
But looking at Gu Qingling's hazy tearful eyes, Du Xue's attitude softened. She pursed her lips slightly and asked in a low voice: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Gu Qingling murmured and asked: "What will happen if a living person enters the abyss of sin?"
Duxue replied quietly: "Those resentful spirits will tear apart the bodies of outsiders and then swallow their souls alive."
Gu Qingling felt a chill in her back.
Mingqin asked: "Where are the elders and the others?"
Du Xue: "Together with other tribesmen, we are fighting against the resentful souls emerging from the abyss of sin. The elder said that we must guard Haiming Palace no matter what."
Mingqin was silent, then put her hands on her face and rubbed it in a broken state.
"Securing this place is easier said than done... If it were before, we would still have a 80% chance of winning. But now the Pearl of the Sea has dimmed like that..."
Pearl of the Sea, yes, Pearl of the Sea!
Gu Qingling suddenly remembered something. She pushed Mingqin away and ran towards the center of Haiming Palace.
The Pearl of the Sea is floating on the formation in the center of Haiming Palace, becoming the only light in the dark swallowing sea.
Duxue was stunned for a moment, then immediately followed: "What do you want to do?!"
Gu Qingling was stopped by the formation. She bit her lips and pounded her fists one after another: "I want to light up the Pearl of the Sea again! Sister Duxue, help me!"
"...No one except the clan leader can light up the Pearl of the Sea! You only lit it up for a moment. Don't be stupid and come back quickly. If the formation is activated, you will die!"
Du Xue stepped forward quickly, trying to pull Gu Qingling back.
"I can."
Gu Qingling's eyes were firmer than ever before. Her petite and immature fists were red and swollen, but she had no intention of stopping.
Boom, boom!
Gu Qingling endured the pain and muttered silently in her heart: Open, open, open! Open it for me!
Bang!
With the final impact, the magic circle suddenly glowed with golden light, completely enveloping Gu Qingling.
She was stunned for a moment, and then she was filled with ecstasy: "I succeeded!"
Duxue's face was full of disbelief. She stood outside the magic circle and murmured: "How is it possible...how could the magic circle let you in?"
Regardless of the delay, Gu Qingling turned around and ran towards Hai Mingzhu. When she stretched out her hand, she realized that her palm was worn.
The fleshy little hand held Hai Mingzhu, and the red blood stopped falling, as if attracted by some kind of force, and continuously gathered on Hai Mingzhu.
The strong white light forced everyone to close their eyes. When all this disappeared, the strange magic circle on the ground, the Sea Pearl, disappeared together with Gu Qingling.
……
There is boundless darkness all around, with only the sea pearl emitting a faint halo.
Gu Qingling held it in her arms and tentatively took a step forward.
Click.
She felt like she had stepped on something, which was very brittle and could be crushed easily by her.
With the dim light of the sea pearl, Gu Qingling looked down and saw a spine lying across her feet, her toes were stepping on her neck, and there were scattered broken bones all around.
She was startled and quickly retracted her feet, but she didn't expect that she would accidentally crush something again.
Click, click!
At this time, Gu Qingling finally realized that she was surrounded by such skeletons, and it was like a mass grave.
But where is this place? Why do you appear here?
Before she could figure it out, Hai Mingzhu trembled slightly in her arms, as if feeling some kind of power, and flew forward on her own.
Gu Qingling did not dare to delay, and tried to avoid the skeletons. She followed the trajectory of Hai Mingzhu and came to a wide and soft circular platform.
There were twelve tall stone pillars in a circle around the platform. Blood-red runes were engraved on them. Gu Qingling followed Hai Mingzhu and looked closely at one of the pillars. She found that she didn't recognize the words on it, but she could read them.
Got it!
"Twelve... crimes." She murmured in a low voice: "Crime four, tampering with immortal artifacts without authorization. Punishment, scraping the bones."
"Crime five, trespassing into the forbidden area of the Immortal Family, punishment is to be burned at the stake."
"Sin Six..."
The crimes and punishments were shocking. Just thinking about it, she could smell the smell of blood.
After Gu Qingling read the last crime, there was a sudden rustling sound above her head. She raised her head and noticed that there was an arm-thick iron chain extending from the top of each stone pillar.
These iron chains criss-crossed like a spider web, covering the entire platform. And where all the iron chains intersected, a piece of tattered white cloth hung.
No, wait!
Gu Qingling's eyes widened: That's not white cloth, that, that's a person!
At this time, Hai Mingzhu seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly became restless and rushed up like crazy.
Bang!
The rusty iron chain erupted with dazzling light and made a sharp sound when the sea pearl collided. The sound spread far away, and Gu Qingling heard several whines, as if something was attracted by the sound and was coming here. "Come down quickly! We have to leave here!" She stood on tiptoe anxiously, wanting to take Hai Mingzhu away from here.
But Hai Mingzhu seems to be determined, even if there are countless chains lying in front of it, it will still get close to that person.
Gu Qingling bit her lip, retreated a long way, then accelerated to run, and jumped up with all her strength!
The moment her fingertips touched Hai Mingzhu, countless chaotic and hazy memories flashed through Gu Qingling's mind, and painful sobs came from her throat.
The pain was fleeting, and when she opened her eyes again, what she saw were cracked stone pillars and shattered iron chains.
