The chaotic mist before him was like a storm, filled with thunder and lightning, and occasionally, terrifying roars echoed from within. Gazing into it felt like staring into a bottomless abyss, evoking an indescribable sense of dread.
Li Beifei, facing the mist with its unknown depths, couldn't help but mutter to himself.
A Great Saint expert from the Buddha Remnant Clan had died, apparently one of the Nine Great Seats. They must already know about Xiaoxi. Moreover, the Arhat Seat could precisely locate Xiuyuan and Kurong, so perhaps other experts from the Buddha Remnant Clan could as well. And that Arhat Seat threatened me before, implying that the Buddha Remnant Clan has even more powerful experts. If they set up an ambush here, wouldn't I be in deep trouble?
No, I must be cautious.
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Li Beifei's mind. The conclusion was that he couldn't just charge straight in.
"Xiuyuan, Kurong!" Li Beifei called out.
"Master, what are your orders?"
The two responded.
"You used to be members of the Buddha Remnant Clan. Is there a path that doesn't require passing through this mist?" Li Beifei asked.
"Uh..."
The two were immediately stunned, then exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion. The master was so domineering just now, why is he being so...cautious in the face of this mist?
"Don't misunderstand. I'm just worried about your safety. After all, the Arhat Seat is dead, and the Buddha Remnant Clan must know. If they set up an ambush inside, I naturally wouldn't be afraid, but I'm just afraid you'll be in danger."
Li Beifei said righteously, causing Xiuyuan and Kurong to feel both excited and ashamed.
The master is so considerate of them, yet they actually thought the master was afraid. They deserved to die!
"Thank you for your consideration, Master, but you don't need to worry about us. If we encounter danger, you can just ignore us," Xiuyuan said with great sincerity, his tone filled with gratitude.
Kurong also said, "Xiuyuan is right, Master. We came here with the determination to die. As long as you can destroy the Buddha Remnant Clan, even if you use us as scapegoats or shields, we would be willing."
"You..."
Inside the chariot, Li Beifei rubbed his forehead. It was said that the tough fear the stubborn, and the stubborn fear those who don't care about their lives. He had just encountered that, hadn't he?
Li Beifei was most afraid of encountering people who didn't care about their lives.
If Xiuyuan and Kurong were enemies, he could just kill them with a sword, but these two were now firmly on his side and willing to die for him.
These kinds of people...are the most troublesome.
Li Beifei complained inwardly.
Fortunately, Longma was in sync with his thoughts and knew his master's true intentions. So Longma said, "My master's intention is not just to fear that you will be in danger, but also to avoid alarming the enemy. We are weak and want to destroy the Buddha Remnant Clan, which is not a simple matter."
"Exactly!" Li Beifei shouted.
He secretly gave Longma a thumbs up. This Longma was much more reliable than Li Wangba and Black Dragon, and understood his thoughts.
"If there is a chance in the future, Master, I will find you a female dragon!" Li Beifei promised secretly.
When Longma heard that the master was going to find him a female dragon, his heart instantly rejoiced.
"Master, can I have a white dragon? It matches my skin tone very well!" Longma asked secretly.
"Haha, you can have whatever you want, Master will find it for you." Li Beifei was drawing a pie.
"Thank you, Master!" Longma was even more excited, imagining himself followed by female dragons of different colors in the future. He had really followed the right master.
And Xiuyuan and Kurong were even more ashamed after hearing Longma's words. Not only did they not think of this, but they also misunderstood the master. They deserved to die!
"Master, at the deepest part of the seabed, there is a secret passage leading to the island," Xiuyuan said.
"Is it dangerous?" Li Beifei asked subconsciously, wanting to withdraw his words, but it was too late.
Fortunately, Xiuyuan and Kurong had completely believed in Li Beifei at this moment and no longer thought of him as "cowardly."
"That secret passage was dug by the two of us and has never been told to anyone else," Kurong said.
If it hadn't been told to anyone else, others wouldn't know, so naturally no one would be ambushing there.
Li Beifei nodded, and then let them lead the way.
Under the guidance of the two, Longma pulled the chariot, drawing a beautiful arc in the sky, and entered the seabed.
Longma had pure dragon blood, not only could he ride the clouds and mist, but he could also travel unimpeded in the sea. Being in the sea was like returning home, and the speed was even faster than in other environments. Before long, he pulled the chariot to the deepest part of the seabed.
In front of them, there was a cave entrance sealed by a formation, presumably the secret passage dug by Xiuyuan and Kurong.
"What did you dig this secret passage for?" Li Beifei asked.
"Master, you'll know when you come with us!"
The two pinched their seals. The seal on this passage required the two of them to open it at the same time. Otherwise, forcibly destroying it would only destroy the secret passage once and for all.
Soon, the passage seal was opened, and light came from inside.
Li Beifei put Longma and the chariot into a special space, and then followed Xiuyuan and Kurong in.
The secret passage was very large, and even three people side by side seemed spacious. The sides were inlaid with luminous pearls for lighting.
Xiuyuan and Kurong walked in front, but their steps seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and the amplitude of their strides was getting smaller and smaller, as if there was something in front of them that they didn't want to face.
But they didn't stop.
Li Beifei didn't urge them either. Although he hadn't been in contact with these two for long, he could also tell that their fate was relatively tragic, and they could be said to be people who were played by fate.
The brother and father are the same person. If this is not being played by fate, then what is?
And within the Buddha Remnant Clan, there must be many people like them, but only the two of them have resisted, although they failed.
Li Beifei found that although the secret passage was in the seabed, it was extremely dry, and there was not much moisture in the air. Obviously, there was a formation here to protect it from seawater erosion.
A secret passage obviously did not need such careful protection, unless this secret passage was of extraordinary significance to them.
Soon, Li Beifei knew the meaning of this secret passage's existence.
In front, there was an open space. On this piece of land, there were many extremely irregular stone tablets. There were no words engraved on them, but Li Beifei recognized that these were tombstones.
Even without graves, these were tombstones.
At this time, Xiuyuan said, "Many people died with my mother that year. The dead were eaten by sea beasts. We don't know who our mother is, so we erected as many tombstones as people died that year. With so many, there will always be one that is our mother's."
Xiuyuan and Kurong's faces were unusually calm. They knelt down and kowtowed three times to these tombstones, and then said to Li Beifei, "Master, pass through this tombstone area, and then go further inside, and you will be able to cross the mist and enter the island."
After speaking, the two took the lead in leaving and continued to lead the way for Li Beifei.
Li Beifei stopped for a while, and then also followed.
However, what Xiuyuan and Kurong didn't notice was that Li Beifei clenched his fists, and the veins were clearly visible.
In the Void God Realm, Yun Wuyue rarely put down her affairs to drink with Gu Changsheng. In front of them was the scene of their home in the Illusion Sea.
